(16,386 posts)A couple of years ago, I got run off the road by a magaloon truck. I suspect they took offense at my Biden/Harris and/or Equality bumper stickers. It was one of those trucks with a big-ass American flag hoisted up in the truck bed. I saw them coming in my rearview mirror and I knew what they were going to do, so I was braced for it. I wish I had taken a photo of their license plate, but it was over so fast I didn't get the chance. I know they were not from my little town because I didn't recognize the truck.

Laffy Kat
(16,386 posts)Not sure how that works.

Then spend the hours doing court paperwork, explaining to cops why you were filming your old beater with political signs, then spend time in court
.and this is assuming you dont spend all day watching people ignore your trap.
What in the world is this in aid of? Damn, you must have a helluva lot of time on your hands.

(7,332 posts)in deep red texas and park my old truck close to a tree and post my game camera so that my old Biden loving truck is in full view of the game camera and head down to the lake and do some fishing...
I am entitled to have Biden signs and stickers on my old truck without being vandalized am I not ?

(1,782 posts)and then lying to a judge?
All of this is ill advised behavior.
Any video taken would also surely be ruined by all of the clapping from other patrons in the background though.
Beachnutt
(7,332 posts)on the street where it's legally parked and leave my Biden stickers and GO JOE on the back windshield and face my game camera from the bush out front so that it records activities around my old truck ?
I am entitled to display my support for our President on my vehicle without fear of being vandalized am I not ??

It is OK however to tag and neuter and install a tracking chip first.

(7,332 posts)our President by displaying stickers etc without fear of vandalism ?
I meant it is not advisable to try to entrap someone etc.
Beachnutt
(7,332 posts)but is it ok if I set up a camera so that if my vehicle is vandalized due to my support of our President that I catch the perpetrator and file charges etc ?
I think I gave my answer already. I personally would not do any of this. As my former veterinarian, a very intelligent man who retired sadly, as he said: when the train of trouble comes dont go looking for it. I cant remember what he said exactly now lol. I wish I had written it down.

(7,332 posts)by leaving the keys in plain sight and the door unlocked don't they ?
I'm simply pointing out that most folks in support of our President in the red states do not display it like the rethugs do for fear of being vandalized etc..
I remember when I was young folks had their candidate stickers on their bumpers etc and there was no fear involved.
The magaloons have to be stopped somehow.
