Not normal times

Just a quick observation here. Currently I am watching how you should behave at a traffic stop. It hasn't occurred to me how this could go very wrong, and you need to be prepared for that time, even if you aren't doing anything wrong. It could be a simple thing, like a broken headlight.

I got stopped for that once, and wasn't even aware of anything amiss. Evidently the broken light happened just prior to the stop and I didn't notice anything. Rocks may bounce off the road and break a headlight at any time. You can hear rocks pinging underneath a lot of the time, and it does not harm anything. You cannot respond to every sound. But maybe sometimes it does mean something, and a light gets smashed and no longer works. A cop stops you, and you get a ticket for it.

These days, people seem a bit on edge. Cops are trained, sometimes unfortunately, to look for things when they stop you. They don't know you, you could be a bad guy. It is a potentially dangerous situation for both the officer and the motorist. A wrong move could result in bad outcomes, know what I mean Vern?

YouTube is showing videos of this, and to tell the truth, I haven't given it the thought that it deserves. With the way things are today, who knows what could happen if you make a mistake at a traffic stop.

I figured the angles too. Maybe YouTube is showing these videos for me to click on, and there's an algorithm that tells them what they think I might be interested in. Or maybe WHAT THEY THINK I SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN. I'm saying that times are not normal now. I wouldn't have given it a thought that YouTube is showing me these videos to click on. I wouldn't have given it a thought that I might be stopped. I'm not a bad guy, what do I have to worry about if a cop stops me? Well, maybe you may not be aware of what could go wrong.

Just sayin'. Be careful out there. These times may require more attention to these kinds of things.

Update:

Here's a video, which is a type I've been watching today. I've watched a bunch of them. Maybe you don't know what kind of doo-doo you can get into just because you don't know the law. Here's something that might help. Why should you need this? That's another question entirely. But you may need it. I figure that I might, so that's why I figure that other folks might too.
