Hi Soulpatch, I'm sorry if my "quote boxes" didn't meet your standards and criteria but it's definitely not hard to decipher what I had to say. I'll reiterate one more time just for you. I don't like corrupt law enforcement and people "flashing" a badge (which I pay for) it's corrupt to me and my brothers that fell in the line of duty. I'm not about to get in a swinging dick contest with you soulpatch, you're not worth my time, your arrogant, above the law attitude and response showed your true colors. Do you copy this cowboy?


Take your own advise Bubba, I only chimed on your insult "A badge which I pay for" IE the same entitlement those who abuse there badges feel they have. Stand up for what you write.:cool:

:lol::lol::lol: Oh oh, "copy that" etc. was appropriated by the "CB'ers" from Law Enforcement and Pilots, and as far as I know is still used by both of them. I have no idea what the "CB'ers" use if they are still out there.

I also have no idea what a "13th signal radio operator" is, but I agree with you that the old CB'ers use to make me "itch" too with their lingo, much of which I never understood. :lol:

Cheers. :spingrin:

Texas already has 80 mph limits on some highways, 75 mph on others,

That really translates to 85 - 90 MPH considering most of us here do indeed add that extra 10 mph over the speed limits.

Why on Earth do you wish to go beyond these speeds is just ludicrous. Your topic really does not make any real sense. Are you lonely tonight or what?

So does anyone have first hand experience traveling with someone with a badge? Will the cops in Mexico respect his service, or should we not pull it out ?

He is inclined not to bring it. I want it so we can hall (burro)across Texas and not get tickets.

McStrange, Nevada had no limit on highway travel for several years when I was a youngster there. The limit was: condition of the vehicle, condition of the driver, condition of the road and the weather. I drove from Las Vegas to Reno (486 miles ) and back twice at just over 6 hours --- 120 mph except for the 9 little towns on the highway (and some burros). And so did every other driver. You can check out the accidents/deaths online somewhere if you like but really what's your point? This time? What speed would you have chosen for me and the others? When I retired from Las Vegas to Baja my job in Las Vegas was safety officer for 6 cab companies. I'm 76 years old and have never had an automobile accident. Now try to pile on that.

I never drive over 70 mph----NEVER!!!! My son is a volunteer Ambulance Driver and NEVER drives over 65, in or out of the ambulance---------both of us have had to clean up after way too many fast drivers that lost control, had a blowout, went to sleep, excetra, and they often took others with them.

SPEED KILLS!!! period. :O

That's my take, anyway/

agree. statistics also clearly show that your chances of surviving an accident drop dramatically as your speed increases,... you got something like 20-30% better survival rate at 65 mph compared to 80 mph!

Ok I think it's time we set up a meeting with measomsan and beat him with a stick. Or we could just find a dead horse.

WOW....how many millions of tax dollars did it take to figure that out?

Osprey - 7-25-2013 at 12:42 PM

Not fast any more. Not even half fast. Now I drive like a Mexican, low and slow. The conditions change, I change. Takes me 2.5 hours to get to La Paz, most others 1/2 that.

Save these posts in case I crash and burn real soon and you hear about it. You can all have some belly laughs over that one. Naw, just remember and use the Search thing.

mcfez - 7-25-2013 at 02:41 PM

Dear Birdbrain.... that loves to troll McFez

Sorry in advance that my grammar sucks....my spelling is horrific....I know that has been an issue with you in the past. :P

You need to really refrain from calling me names. We ALL here dont want it to get messy here as it is in the Off Topics.

Having said that............my point is that one does not need a badge to speed in Nevada.......since the limits are already higher that other states. 85 plus MPH should get anyone across the state of Texas in a flash without being pulled over.......as it was stated for the need of a badge:

"......He is inclined not to bring it. I want it so we can hall (burro)across Texas and not get tickets".

However............I do understand that when you used to speed across Texas back in the last century......doing 120 must had been a thrill.....considering the ratings for tires were not up to the standings of high excessive speed......hence....causing blow outs from friction heat from long periods of driving excessively. Are you sure that your claims is factual.......perhaps it was just a pinch of the follies?

I am so happy to hear that you were officially in charge of some Taxi cab company's vehicles......way back in the early 19th century. There were no cell phones distractions......not many crackheads.....zero texting.....NO high rated tires for family cars to haul azz for hours at 120 mph.....and so forth of a endless list of hazards that did not exist in your prehistoric times.

It's a brand new world out there old man.......sorry you missed catching it 3o years ago :-)


Let's keep your Fairytales at bay here..... Birdbrain. Like to be civil about this now...or do we need to have several more rounds? I'd prefer to be civil.

Please don't troll me....................

So far, it's Osprey 1, Fez 0. You're outa line here Fez. Leave while you still have some people who like you.

Coach Lee doing the score of today's game. Interesting that you decided to jump right on in about the remarks......and I agree with you Coach Lee........negatives are negative here at the BN.

Just wondering though........where were you with the scouring words towards Osprey when he called me McStrange? Oh oh oh ! Sounds sorta like you are just protecting the old man since his seems to be Royalty here at the BN. Are you collecting points here?

Just tell him not to be nasty towards others if he cannot take it thrown back at him. Same goes for you. Now...can we be civil?

So far, it's Osprey 1, Fez 1, Lee 0. You're outa line here Lee. Leave while you still have some people who like you.

Would anybody get a ticket for going 85 in an 80mph in west Texas? That's about as wide open free range as it gets out there, 'specially round Pecos (that's Pecas if you pronounce it like the locals).

Reading the heavy moral/ethical judgments here(I pay your taxes, flashing a badge is corrupt) get's as boring as the attitudes about mordida. The initial question about speeding in Texas seemed legitimate but it just gave a podium to the idiotic and nonsensical out there who think their responses about how they're on the high ground, and others are not, becomes pointless. Comical too.

Most on this thread are delusional and have no idea what a badge represents.

And you're one of the delusional according to your previous responses. Take the time to read through the entire thread, see who responded to what and how it was responded to before you give your opinion. You seem to have a bad habit of jumping in the middle of something and giving your advice when you have no idea what was being discussed. Do you simply read the OP's original topic and then just spout off at the end?

PS. I was the first to use the term "delusional" in this thread but you certainly used it. Do you even know where and why I used it?

Fill me in. I'm too lazy to go back and reread most of the delusional posts I've already read. Mostly by those without badges.

Seriously, where and why was the word delusional used?

We're not in disagreement here, at least from my perspective.

I would define ''responsibility to enforce and uphold the law'' as defined by the badge holder, not a civilian.

''Exemption from obeying'' the law is also defined by the badge holder.

There's a problem, for some, that breaking any law (especially speeding) and getting away with it because of a badge is corrupt.

Guess I'm thinking there's the letter of the law, and the spirit of the law. Sometimes they're different. Guess nobody here speeds.

All this nonsense smacks of moral preaching.

One last time Mr Lee, the only moral issue here was a person asking if it was okay to break the law and then use a badge that was bestowed upon them to uphold the law to then use that badge to circumnavigate the law. Exactly what part of this thread do you not comprehend? It has absolutely nothing to do with preaching morality but it has everything to do with proper morals.

PS. Aren't you the character that started a silly ass thread on fireworks and finally disappeared when you were confronted with facts?

You've stated your point well. ''....it has everything to do with proper morals.''

And, I guess you and some loonies here will be defining ''proper morals'' for the badges?

And, wow, yes, I guess I'm guilty of the silly burro thread about fireworks. Did I really disappear when confronted with the facts? Or, possibly, check out after making my point -- and not giving a rat's burro about what others thought? Hope I made a point. I'm guilty of enjoying loud explosions -- call me odd -- and sometimes the louder the better. Like Dennis alluded to, I must think it's an alternative to sex which is impossible to have all the time.

Finally, just so you understand my level of comprehension and interest here -- I click on the last post of a thread I have vague interest in, look at 2-3 most recent posts, scan, not read, what's said, and mostly move on.

Honestly, Bub, your moral point of view is just delusional and nonsense. From where I'm coming from, you most likely live in a fantasy world. Enjoy! I do!

David stated my point of view the best and we're in the same ballpark on this:

Here is an official badge people can print and cut out to display the next time they are pulled over for an infraction.

I'm printing that badge right now.

willardguy - 7-27-2013 at 05:41 PM

badge number one! a collectors item:O

DENNIS - 7-27-2013 at 05:58 PM

It ain't the badge. It's the arrogance of exclusiveness that bothers me most.
I repel from that attitude in any aspect of life. Police officers who display this sense of importance with others for recognition, for any reason, rely on their position for personal verification. They want to be seen as important and powerful.

I can't say I wouldn't do the same, given the circumstances. I have my needs for attention and ego boosting as well.
Cops are, in most cases, only human.
Let's cut them some slack for being just like the rest of us.

He does, Tio. Police Officer. I'll answer this for him because I know he won't.

When I get pulled over in California I just flash my, official, Baja Nomad Junior Special Fishing Investigator, badge, and they usually let me off with a warning.:lol:


Here is an official badge people can print and cut out to display the next time they are pulled over for an infraction.

That's perfect E. I'm going to print it and laminate it!

I used to go out with a lady who had been married to a cop. She told me how he would stand in front of a full length mirror when he put on his uniform....you know....all that leather and brass.......and said the process would give him an erection.

Does this happen with all you LE boys? :lol:

I think it's scary.

pauldavidmena - 7-28-2013 at 08:39 AM

My father was a police officer in NY for 30 years, and my brother has been with the LAPD for 25 and counting. Both have lead feet when driving, and both think nothing of showing their badges when pulled over for speeding. Most of the time, an officer will extend an unwritten professional courtesy to another in situations like this, but occasionally it's made matters worse.

My take is that no one should be above the law, and that speed limits exist not to spoil our fun but to minimize the possibility of a high-speed accident. I don't think that use of a badge to avoid a ticket is sleazy, but it really shouldn't be necessary.

I hated all that stuff hanging all over me---------I refused to wear most of it unless on 'special situation assignment'-------only my isolation and retirement saved me from severe chastisement for my ways. When I put all that stuff on, I felt like a display-stand, and a joke!!!

As a jesture to "equal opportunity", I hired a girl into the Ranger Force that looked just like that back in '76 , the first girl ever to become a BLM Ranger. Her qualifications were obvious, so no enhanced evaluations were necessary.

She worked out just fine, and was a good Ranger too, and caused quite a stir within BLM. (-:

Good Job, Barry!!

I am familiar with all 3 of those places, but no, I did not work there. All my CA Desert BLM time ('74 to '86) was in El Centro except for special assignments of very short duration.

OK. I spent some time in my Air Force days at the Cuddeback Dry Lake gunnery & bombing range trying to keep people from walking off with our 20mm cannon expended brass casings and anything else they could carry. :lol:

The desert there is outstanding. I really liked early mornings and late afternoon/evenings.

rhintransit - 7-28-2013 at 03:36 PM

any of you guys with badges willing to sign my AZ smog emission form for my vehicle being out of the country? all you need to do is verify that the car is in Mexico and there are no smog facilities here.
it's supposed to be done by a 'law enforcement official.'
police in Loreto refuse, understandably, the form is in English. INM signed once knowingly and unknowingly once. I've written letters of explanation and sent photos, etc, but every year it's a struggle figuring out what to do each registration renewal time.

[Edited on 7-28-2013 by rhintransit]

Sure

bajaguy - 7-28-2013 at 03:39 PM

If you can't find anybody there, and you are in Ensenada after Sept 17th, I'll do it

motoged - 7-28-2013 at 11:22 PM

I can sign it....I printed off one of those badges presented earlier in this thread and I now feel entitled enough to flash it and do as I please....:biggrin:

Point taken. But, help me out, how do you define historical trolling? Looked up the definition and thought, well, yeah, guess that could be many people I see posting here.

So, why don't we ALL be civil here -- especially in hot topic threads (mordida?) and not resort to name calling? If you guys carry grudges from thread to thread and have a history of taking shots at each other, it's not my fault I don't follow every thread.

I have strong opinions, some people don't like them (Bub, Tom, Fez) and you're all entitled to not like my opinions, or behavior. Other than personal attacks, I believe I could sit down with everyone here for a brew -- not that that is shared necessarily. But, that's just the way I am.

Look, Fez, you must think what I wrote about leaving while people like you is cool. You've written/copied what I wrote twice now. Have you ever had an original thought?

"I really liked early mornings and late afternoon/evenings."

Best part of the desert .... the smell in the morning is ....... words fail .. the evenings with a light breeze ........ just plain relaxing IMHO .... and the "thunder showers" can be pretty nice too ....

No badges required, in most cases ... :biggrin::biggrin:

mcfez - 7-29-2013 at 11:13 AM

All deserts?!?!?!? Even El Centro smells nice after a nice rain, and if the wind is blowing the right way, and you are upwind from the 'feeder farms'. :yes: But the "high deserts" smell the best, I think.

willardguy - 7-29-2013 at 02:09 PM

warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air?;)

wessongroup - 7-29-2013 at 02:28 PM

Early morning in El Centro ..... after alfalfa has just been cut ... sweet IMHO

And yep, there are "different" smells at different times in the morning ... and evening, in the desert .... low and high ... also liked the "high desert" smells best :):)

Something to drive by

I worked a ChinaLake from 1965 to 1975 and even though Cuddeback was longer used we used go Chukar hunting there. We had plenty of the test ranges to use.
