Imagine getting Pulled Over by a Cop Pulling Out of Your Driveway During a Blizzard Cause You let Your Car Run to Warm Up… 🤦‍♂️

No way that’s a thing. It’s literally a safety hazard to NOT warm up/defrost your car before driving it.

Idling is technically illegal in some municipalities.

@ExTerMINater267 They got rid of stoplights?

@Emilio2763 Are there stop lights everyone feet?

@___R_E_D____ @Emilio2763 It’s a timed event. If witnessed by anyone for more than a few minutes (depending where you are) then a violation occurred. In this case the cop is the witness. In NYC anyone can film and claim apart of the fine as a reward. This fines are steep, especially for commercial trucks

@___R_E_D____ @Emilio2763 People make a whole living off just standing in Midtown Manhattan pretending to be on the phone and all the while filming idling trucks. Few guys who make six figures doing it.

@___R_E_D____ @Emilio2763 Traffic lights are timed events. And the vehicle is in drive. This has to do with sitting idle in park with the engine running for extended amounts of time.

You’re dumb. The person saying “Did they get rid of stoplights?” Is implying that you would never hit anyone because stoplights exist. My point is they don’t exist everywhere, and they only exist at intersections. Kids run across the road, and pedestrians are out in the road all the time in general. Your mass messages about how stoplights work is completely irrelevant to the potential of hitting a child because it’s illegal to fucking defrost my car before I leave for work.

This is how you can tell if there's a hidden Learing Center in your community

From someone whose car runs 24 hours a day.🙄

Must be a democrat

These laws are just a form of tax, They cant tax everyone at once or the masses get angary so instead they pass an absurd law and tax people in groups of 10`s and 20`s so that tax takes years to be challenged but by then they have raked in millions

Unattended idling is a ticket-able offense in most jurisdictions

Get a Tesla, fixes a LOT of problems including this Bs

They're trying to prevent criminals from having access to easily stolen vehicles that will be used for additional crimes. Remote start vehicles are not punishable, but using your key to start your vehicle and then going inside while it sits running and unlocked is punishable.

Jut out of curiosity, where is this? Canada?

On a positive note, the cop didn't shoot him so there's that.

Its good to see they’re finally dealing with the serious criminals there in Chicago

Female cop

It’s not the idling that’s illegal in some places; it’s unattended idling. You can’t start your car and leave it running while you wait inside and remote start isn’t legal in these places. Not sure why if doors are locked.

Toronto has a 60 second idle limit for warming up your car. They ticket you for going beyond that. I idle my car 5-10 min when it’s below -15.

Idk in ohio its illegal on public roads or parking lots but not in your driveway. And its not illegal if you have remote start.

This is misleading. No idea why he was there. Could have been there for a warrant.

@WRPSToday why?

God I hate democrats

This happens in Colorado. And when your vehicle is stolen, and you tell them you had it warming up out in your garage or driveway, they will not pursue the theft of your vehicle because you literally left it running and unattended for them to take.

My guess is that it’s for not having a front plate cause the other option is dumb.

Cop rights tickets for what they do with your tax dollars all day everyday Cars idling

cop didn’t know if the place was being robbed and if that was the get away car

Revenue generation tactics.

I would asssume they are checking to make sure it’s not a stolen and the person in there is the rightful driver. Warming cars is a great way to get it stolen. I would give grace here.

What a fucking waste of skin cop. Bet he thinks he makes a difference.

Different level of dickeating.

HA they would hate my work crew, these below 0 temps we are leaving the work trucks running all day so we can get in and out to be warm. Lmao

@grok why can they do this it don’t even look like the person did anything this looks like harassment

This happened to me one time at the restaurant I worked at. We were closing up and everyone had their cars idling and two cops pulled ul and ticketed everyone. Thankfully the kitchen staff parked out back so we drove past all the front end getting tickets.

Has to be a liberal run city.

It's the most common avenue of theft. It's against municipal code for that reason. Knuckleheads wait around neighborhoods and convenience stores for a free ride of someone's whip. Also, not every stop is a "revenue" inducing ticket. Sometimes it's just a convo & go.

Meanwhile i turn mineon and go back to sleep for a half hour

He must be missing some information
