    If I were a cop and I saw this, I wouldn’t want to talk to them either. I think as long as the windshield isn’t blocked, they can see their side mirrors, and there’s not shit falling off all over the place, I’d just let them go on by.

    I can mostly only speak anecdotally but I lived in Colorado and Massachusetts during the height of Covid and I watched people fly by cops doing 20-30 miles over the speed limit and they didn't do shit. I also saw how Uvalde played out, so yeah I'm guessing they don't want to risk their lives over a bunch of shit piled on some dude's car.

    Not giving them a pass for not doing the job they signed up for, but judging from how they've responded to other stuff, yeah probably scared for their well being.
