It’s a gamble. In one part of Texas the cops might nod and wish you a Merry Christmas. In another they might determine this is probable cause to stop you, demand your ID, forcibly remove you from your car, beat you to a pulp, and then gin up imaginary DUI charges, resisting arrest, or etc. against you.

Austin, huh?

Funny you say that because Austin and San Antonio were the two cities in Texas my husband refused to work in.

There was some town outside of San Antonio where the cops were insane. My husband was supposed to do a job tearing up one of their main streets and replacing it all with new porous asphalt. He shows up with his crew and equipment and the local cops ticketed him and them for having oversize and overweight trucks. Didn’t matter that he had the valid work order and everything from the city.

He cancelled the job and then sued them because they had a contract and he showed up and they violated it by preventing his crews from getting to the jobsite. He won and then swore never to go near there again. They had to pay him in full plus damages and legal fees all because stupid cops.

Then there were most places in Texas he loved. I guess that’s the thing is in Texas it’s mostly good but you have to be very careful of the places that are run by Democrats.
