  1. ughhh that annoys me but I'm much happier if they raise the limits

    I wonder though if the speed limit will be upped in Cuyahoga County. Because they are awful, almost all the highway is 60mph instead of 65mph like the rest of the state...drive me nuts

    Probably not. NEO likes to do their own thing, even if the courts say otherwise.

  2. Thanks Chevy. I just bought a yosh slip on on Ebay used for $125. Will have a beat up v&h pipe cheapcheap if you want it. Probably goin to go with the bridgestones and go up to a 150 on the back. Can't wait to get her back on the road, its driving me crazy not being able to ride.

    Appreciate it but no $$ to put into the bike, have things higher on the list before the bike. Thanks though.

  3. Scruit, are you trying to start some ruckus with your threads lately because that's what seems to be happening. I'm not saying to stop because they are fun to read, just an observation. :lol:

  4. True story..... before purchasing any firearm, you must first become an expert in its origins, history, model geniology, and should be able to build one out of household items... namely Tupperware or sex toys (if M&P).

    I never said such a thing. ;)

    Why do you think they have such a confusing model number system? Why cant they make it easy like everyone else. like glock 9mm 4 inch model, or glock 9mm sub compact. No they have to have numbers that have no meaning to what the gun is? Thats why most glock owners don't know what they own. "what kind of glock you have?" reply with a shoulder shrug "a 9mm think it's a 17 maybe a 19?"

    I never understood their numbers either...

  5. They said that was the original problem. Bad data. They did a contest to create an algorithm that didn't register the bad data. University math and engineering mostly responded to that task. Apparently it still goes off on railroad tracks and speed bumps anyway.

    That's my point. I don't see how it could tell the difference between pot holes/dropped/R&R tracks/speed bumps/edge of roadways etc etc. I'm no enginerd but seems like the data would be skewed.

  6. Shinko 006 Podiums or Bridgestone BT-14 is all I could find that would fit the rear. If memory serves, the BT14 you is the only one you can get in the stock size. Or if you go a size up, you can get the Shinko or BT14. You can only go one size bigger before the tire will rub the swingarm, although I don't remember the size and I don't have the bike here to look at as I went up a size.

  7. Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27 (2001), held that the use of a thermal imaging device from a public vantage point to monitor the radiation of heat from a person's home was a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, and thus required a warrant. Because the police in this case did not have a warrant, the Court reversed Kyllo's conviction for growing marijuana.

  8. According to Penny-Feeny you can.

    The right against unreasonable searches is based upon two facets of the expectation of privacy: 1) Does the person have a subjective expectation of privacy, and 2) Does society agree that the expectation was reasonable (objective). This is the Katz test.

    In penny-feeny the court held that the FLIR measures only heat escaping the house, and that the homeowners made no attempt to contain or retain that heat - it was therefore "abandoned", much in the same way as if you threw evidence in a public trash can. (in some cases the heat detected was intentionally vented) That evidence, once abandoned, is no longer your property and you no longer have an expectation of privacy over it. Thus, using a flir to detect the presence of abandoned heat is not an unreasonable search.

    Robinson is another case where the court upheld FLIR.

    This technology has been challenged many times and that may have led to departmental policies against it, but I've not heard of a case where it was held to be an unreasonable search. I'm open to correction.

    My understanding and what I was taught is that you cannot go door to door trying to locate heat lamps for weed growing. You need reasonable suspicion to be able to FLIR a house. I don't recall case law being cited but that's what I was taught.

  9. How many would you buy? Accepting your guesstimate of $15k each, and knwing that the CPD is a little under 2k sworn officers... To give one to each officer would cost ~$30m

    Even one per car would be maybe half that, $15m. The 2m you quote would only supply about 133 of these FLIR units.

    And, when else would they be used?

    Wait, the officer could point it at the side of a house and detect the heat generate by tyhe grow lamps of an illegal drug operation... Then we have Penny-Feeny all over again.

    Wanna make a donation?

    You can't just walk around checking heat signatures on houses.
