But wool she put out?

I can se it through the rear window, so it's not in "the boot"

A. What, pray tell, is a "roads policing group"? Are they cops, or, not cops?

B. Someone saw the amount of tread on a moving tire attached to a moving car?

C: They saw the amount of tread on a traveling tire, but, failed to notice the sheep in the back seat until the car stopped?

I fear something is rotten in North Yorkshire...

The parcel shelf behind the rear passenger seats, and above the boot, can be removed to accommodate taller loads, eg: sheep.

Re A: Roads Policing Group is part of the North Yorkshire Police which deals with traffic offences, accidents etc.

The Police in the UK do like a bit of self-aggrandisement from time to time. They used to have squads but then moved on to branches, via commands to directorates.
Mind you, I'm not sure where 'groups' fit into that particular hierarchy.

Re B: There was probably more to it than that. Many of the cars are equipped with number plate recognition cameras which can interrogate vehicle and driver licensing records and also police systems where the car might be of possible interest to them. They probably stopped him for an unstated and unrelated reason.

Re C: I can't help you on that one!

What the fuck woman?

xoxoxoBruce · 08-08-2015, 03:41 PM

Should have worn white. Until the publicity, I wonder if any of the spectators noticed? Probably not.
Red pants, plus sweating runners usually have several shades on any garment they wear.

I'm not disgusted or offended, but I do question the value of the gesture.
I'm not sure if she was running for charity, but the cost of her running shoes would probably have paid for plenty of feminine hygiene products. I know that's a bit of a straw man response, but I'm never really impressed with "raising consciousness".

I mean, would she have run with poopy pants to "raise consciousness" about widespread dysentery, which actually kills women (and men, and an enormous amount of children)?
Did she drink while running, or was she "raising consciousness" about dehydration, another huge killer in countries where they have no access to safe water?

Everyone is entitled to choose their own battles, but as a woman who's gone home with a wadge of toilet paper in her knickers so as not to ruin her nice work clothes, I'm not sure I'm impressed with this one.

Yeah well I'm raising consciousness for bloodborne pathogens.

Arrest her, but do put down a towel in the back of the police car.
