Going off topic here but i think yes women should have more rights but equality is a two way street. Womens tennis for example. they want same cash prize as men, they play best of 3 sets men play best of 5.
Derp. that's not equality. Thats we dont have the physical capacity to play 5 hour matchs like men but we want same money.
End of the day theres things men cant do and women can, and theres things women cant do and men can.

As for what was said i think some female officers do throw their "authority" around to prove they are big girls who can hold their own. But some just go about it completely the wrong way

Much cheaper on ebay, also in v2. Only issue with that model is it takes about 40seconds for it to initialize before recording starts.

So he quickly starts it up throws into revers and drive out of there as fast as he can, the 4x4 chases him, hes doing 120 in a 60zone i believe to outrun these guys (he has a DC2) he winds down his window and hears sirens but theirs no lights or nything around him so he presumes someones taking the piss to trick him into stopping.

Eventually hes intercepted by a police car, which has lights.
The black 4x4 was an undercover car, which was playing the siren but for some stupid reason had no lights installed.
Long story short, he didnt recieve a fine because the police didn't identify themselves as such.
However when he reversed out one the officers smacked his card door 4 times with a torch so he has these massive dents in his door.

yup, well aware of that. even with the power magic pro it will cost less than $250 shipped from korea. *IMO* its worth it if it saves me from one accident claim or property damage.

breaker bar = just did tyre rotation at home ;). now going out on a test drive :P

denting the door = sounds like car jackers than cops to me.

yeh, hes trying to see what he can do, if i get any news and remember i will update.

another note i dont think 1 guy with a breaker bar is gonna be taking down 4 cops with big heavy torches and batons.
first you have to get out the car run to the boot open it and then lift the floor to get to them.

i keep a umbrella on the backseat of my car, it has a sword handle though, so it looks like a sword but off with the sleeve and its an umbrella.

lol you keep your breaker bar in your boot?
I kept my little standard right angle tyre iron in between my door and seat, and then a 600mm long bit of 2.5" round urethane in behind my seat too. Even though its not enough to maim someone that hard urethane stings like a bitch and leaves some decent marks

I love all these tough-guy stories people have about the various weapons they keep in their cars... Watched a few too many films, I reckon.

I agree- keeping a weapon on you is asking for more trouble.
