Reminds me of the last time I was in Texas and somebody called the cops on me because I didn't have a car
That's why I typically bring 2 cars when I go to Texas.
One in your luggage, one in your carry on.
My belt buckle is a car
One car for you, one for your gun
I think it says a lot about Texas that you aren't the first person who told me they had the cops called on them for not having a car there.
My cousin went there as a foreign exchange student, and she lived a mile away from the town center. So she walked, cause it's less than 20 minutes.
Then a cop car stopped beside her. First they were friendly, asking if her car broke down. But when she said she doesn't have a car, and is walking, they actually took her in for questioning.
Don't they need to charge her with something in order to do that?
That's the Welcome to Texas package.
Nah it's America
I think they can hold you for a set period of time before they have to charge you.
Not sure what they have to write on their paperwork for arresting you, but you basically can't fight it unless you can call a lawyer to argue on your behalf.
Crime: Being in public while poor.
In drive through?
Yeah, had to get an Uber just to get some Whataburger
I’m sure it’s a safety thing. You get hit by a car going through drive through it’s probably the fast food company’s liability.
