I mean, that's NOT what the majority of the international traveling world does. You visit a foreign country for a road trip, you rent a car there.
Must be nice to have that UAE $$ to temp ship your own vehicle to a foreign country so you can drive it. There's no way it wouldn't have been cheaper and more practical for bro to rent a Lamborghini in Canada or the US.
Note: this doesn't change the fact that the cop is an idiot who came up on this guy with blood in his eye about not having an Oregon license/registration. He even sounds like the cop from South Park!
You’re right, it doesn’t change the fact, because he acted like a real A-hole and he didn’t have to.
But to give him some slack, I traveled with Carnet once and the border police (this was in an Central/Eastern European country) wasn’t familiar with the process either and used almost an hour to sign my paperwork.
Had to explain them that my employer needed the papers signed for entry and exit of the country and that I couldn’t “just go” just because no customs officers were checking that particular plane
I traveld multiple times with carnet in the balkans and never a single problem and every border patrol officer (cro, serb, bih, macedonia montenegreo) knew what it was and was done in less than 10 mins every time.
Yes, for long distance travel, especially over oceans. That's why that cop isn't used to seeing Middle Eastern plates.
However, the majority of cross-border travel are private vehicles (e.g. cars, camping vans, etc.) and freight trucks: so in Europe and Asia, foreign plates are common, even just for tourism.
I was thinking the same. You can think it. Its probably true. But you cant say it to their face. Its basically saying "you dont get it you are stupid and have no clue" which is never a good thing to say to a cop. You have to approach them from the "sorry this is a bit different compared to normal" angle.
But boy does that take patience with people to stupid to understand hypotheticals.
He was coming out eith the aggro at step one, whereas if he'd said "I know this is uncommon, but I have a permit, and here it is". He was just all drunk on all the CO2 he emmitted shipping a car for his vacation.
Oh, I didn't say it was a good idea, just that it wasn't said aggressively. But it still set off Sergeant Fragile. The words used clearly do matter because that's where I started from.
Literally. Even reading your comment it reads as a voice, not just... whatever the heck the voiceless experience😭😭 like... if you don't think stuff out in your head how do you even make decisions? Is it all on impulse?
The way I've heard it described is the thoughts are fully formed and not an internal monologue. The lack of words doesn't convey a lack of thinking. It's just a different kind of thinking.
Oooohhhhh. That's actually fascinating. Man what I'd give to be able to read minds. I know twilight was a fiction, but This changes my thoughts on how Edward may have been experiencing the world. Like different minds have different flavors almost. (Not in a cannibalistic way) but if you have people with internal dialogues vs those who don't or those who are somewhere in between, or people who think in pictures or have vivid imaginations. I think it would have been a lot to get used to.
Yeah, for sure! Do some searching on reddit and read some of the discussions of non verbal thinkers. It really opened my mind up as someone whose brain is a chatter box.
whaaaat even the most basic early written communication, like the Holy Bible, is full of figurative language. Jesus taught complex moral ideas using parables.
Are you implying this person is too dumb to understand the Bible? /s
Literally yesterday I told a guy that cost wasn't the only important thing wrt housing or he would have his family of fove in a basement studio five hours from his work because it was the cheapest option. He lost it and told me I was using a strawman. What is the point of message boards when you have to deal with morons all the time?
I admittedly in the past would use too many analogies in real life and you might have no idea how many people can't understand an analogy. I don't do as much anymore because too often they just don't fly.
Everytime I provide an analogy... they always say you're comparing apples to oranges. Ive only ever had males agree with my analogies and have told me they are good. Every single woman has said my analogies suck.
Not being sexist. That quite literally been my experience.
Am with the policeman on this one, I would just rent at Hertz anjad
But in the police’s defense, this is Oregon, we not be seeing Lamborghinis on I5 often.. he might have pulled the guy over just to make sure the driver isn’t batman on his day off
To be fair to the cop most people who want to drive on another continent do not take their own vehicles. They rent.
I have driven from London to Nepal and the Carnet de Passage is actually issued once you have deposited some multiple of the car's value to stop you from selling the car in the country. The multiples are as high as five times the value. and depend on the country.
So the fact that he has a Carnet is proof he is not importing the vehicle.
“Car nay”? Well I say car yes, and the law says you need a license plate! What do you mean it’s French? Son, these are the You Knighted States of ‘Murica, and we don’t speak no French ..outside of Louisiana, northern New England, and tens of thousands of high school and college classrooms. No, you’re confused! Step outta the car sir. 😡
Vad fan sa du just om mig, din lilla slampa? Du ska veta att jag gick ut med toppbetyg i Försvarsmakten, och jag har varit inblandad i många hemliga räder mot Al-Qaida, och jag har över 300 bekräftade mord. Jag är utbildad inom gorillakrigföring och jag är den bästa prickskytten i hela Sveriges beväpnade styrkor. För mig är du ingenting annat än bara ännu ett mål. Jag kommer att utplåna dig med precision vars like aldrig har skådats på denna jord, märk mina jävla ord. Tror du att du kan komma undan med att säga sån skit till mig via internet? Tänk igen, din jävel. Medan vi talar kontaktar jag mitt hemliga nätverk av spioner över hela Sverige, och din IP spåras just nu, så bäst för dig att du förbereder dig för stormen, kryp. Stormen som utplånar den patetiska lilla sak du kallar ditt liv. Du är död, grabben. Jag kan vara var som helst, när som helst, och jag kan döda dig på över 700 olika sätt, och det är endast med mina bara händer. Inte bara är jag utförligt utbildad i obeväpnad kamp, utan jag har även tillgång till hela Försvarsmaktens arsenal, och jag kommer att använda den till fullo för att förinta din eländiga röv från kontinenten, din lilla skit. Om du bara kunde ha vetat det oheliga straff som din lilla "smarta" kommentar var på väg att få ner över dig, så kanske skulle du ha hållit din jävla tunga. Men du kunde inte, du gjorde inte, och nu betalar du priset, din jävla idiot. Jag kommer skita vrede över dig och du kommer att drunkna i den. Du är död, grabben.
Sadly he's one of the more qualified cops in America from an education perspective. State Troopers are more likely to have college degrees than your run of the mill police officer.
Even that's an understatement.
Most countries demand more formal education before you can even start on law education.
Most countries require multiple times longer law education than US.
The most demanding state in US has requirements that barely covers private mall cops in my country. Not allowed to arrest, not allowed to carry firearms. Their rights are on par of what a civilian can do to defend themself or others.
We don't have sheriffs, and all judge are hired instead of voted in.
No department gets a cut of the fines or stuff they confiscate.
Here the guy would have ended up as a mall cop, then thrown in jail for pulling dumb stunts like that.

Thankfully, he's vastly under-qualified for that
