Default No Parking!

Thought this was amusing. The cop was ticketing the Jet Ski. It was subsequently towed.

It's always the cop that gets the flack when some member of the public flouts the law. It's just not fair. He's only doing his job to the best of his ability.
Anyway, you should all feel assured that you are getting good value for money from your police officers. He could just be sat about on his butt sunning himself!

The problem is not the cop. The problem is the laws. Common Sense is Dead so we need a law to cover everything we do, might do, could do, or would like to do. And that all adds up to dodododo!/rant

Nice picture btw. Capturing America at work and play in one frame.

Hey, anyone living in the US has got to have noticed that we live in a country full of retards with lawyers on speed dial. The laws are to try and stop them doing something stupid and then suing anyone in the vicinity on the offchance they can swindle them out of some cash.

I'm just dying to find out the story behind the photograph... Jet-Ski's can't run in the sand, how did it get there?

Did any consider that the cop is not ticketing an errant jet ski operator, rather he is recovering a stolen jet-ski? Hmmmmm
