    Could this be work of Chinese artist Liu Bolin?

    They don’t need to be invisible.

    Just being a drunk means you are not in full control of your sense as it is.

    And you deserve being busted every time you drink and drive.

    #1 The tech does exist, it is just paint as #21 pointed out. You’ll notice that neither the officers nor the car moves (if it did it would spoil the effect.)

    Rights are always taken for “a good cause.” Drunk drivers are a problem, so some say we should have sobriety checkpoints where they stop everyone…without reasonable cause. Secret police is another step towards Orwell.

    This won’t happen, for too many people would start going to their doctors to question their mental health, thereby threatening a very large increase in medical expenses.

    Thanks, I never say this episode.

    Sesame Street just got started when I was in 3rd grade, so I didn’t watch it much. I didn’t watch Capt Kangaroo or Mr Rodgers much ether. I think I felt they where too childish for me.

    That’s not to say they have good stuff, as you pointed out.

    I take it, this also used as a police training video?

    In related news: Cop tasers himself in Florida:

    cops did everything correctly from what I can see except talking to the lawyer. They had everyone’s safety to better occupy themselves with. I wish the article had addressed Strickland’s Girlfriend. I assume she voluntarily talked with the cops and told them she was OK.

    Probably of extra interest to me as the cops came to my door a few nights ago. Disturbance in the neighborhood with two people arguing–NOT me yelling at a DU blogger. Cops asked me what I knew/heard and I told them. Happy smiling faces all around. If another occupant in my domicile was screaming and bleeding I would expect the cops to talk to them? And if my dog bit the cop to arrest me and the dog? I had a dog once that would bite an intruder but not if we were there being friendly.

    best dog in the world. Half sharpei/shepard. Great Combo. Its in their genes.

    Huh… I saw this ad without hearing the audio (I always turn off the sound whenever an ad comes up on anything). I thought they were supposed to be the ghosts of cops or soldiers who died in the line of duty getting annoyed how a citizen would abuse the freedoms they died to protect.

    Seems to me the first two officers on the sidewalk let the drunks get in the truck and drive away thus endangering who knows how many citizens, some of which were probably children by the way. These officers should be fired immediately for dereliction of duty.

    #31 You’ve mistakenly assumed their duty is to protect people. It’s actually to maximize revenue generation.

    I did a doulbe take and laughed out loud… the last scene looks like the cop has his gun in the guys mouth about to blow his brains out… guy looks worried.

    Or is it just me…

    We had an ad here in NJ where the cop shoves a ticket into a guy’s mouth for not wearing a seat belt. Haha. Very funny. If the cops will make a joke about assaulting someone at a stop over a seat belt can you possibly imagine what they’ll do if a camera isn’t rolling?

    Two words, HOUSE PARTY!
    That is unless you’re too loud then the cops come to your door, then ask if they can search, then they drop a baggie of weed in the corner and arrest you for possession.

    My question is why does every slogan from the PD have to rhyme? It drives me nuts
