    Actually, many campus police have the same jurisdiction as Highway Patrol...since the schools are state-level entities, they can chase you far beyond school property.

    I'd love to know where you can buy a fully equipped squad car for $10k! Just a new vehicle alone is more than that, and the lights, siren, roll cage, prisoner transport system, etc aren't cheap either. Many around here drive supped-up Dodge Chargers...http://www.allpar.com/squads/police-cars/dodge-charger.html...the car is $27K, with the "base" package (I think), MOPAR equipment is $1K-$2K a piece...so to have a "pursuit capable" car would probably run around $30K-$50K...

I've have people break check me ALL the time, they are going below the limit, in fast lane, I cruise up to "wait" for them to move over into the CLEAR lane...but instead they look up in their mirror, tap their breaks a few times...then speed up if I dare try to pass on the right. Or, someone behind me gets pissed (because someone ahead of me is holding him up) and passes me on the left shoulder (not even in the lines) and flips us off as they fly by.

    After reading this, I think HP is doing stuff like this too at my location. I was wondering why via Firefox SSL sites kept getting "reset" but worked via Chrome and IE, it's only been happening for a few months now.

  13. Re:Higher potency? on Doctors Say New Pain Pill Is "Genuinely Frightening" · · Score: 2

    Not quite. There are two main problems. One, missing Acetaminophen (like Vicoden). so many long-term addicts who WERE staying away from stuff because of liver toxicity now don't have to worry about it, and new "abusers" will see that as a "good thing" to go find it for illicit use; that's just the way an addict's brains is logically. Two, it's crushable...meaning it can be snorted or shot up easily. THIS is what's going to kill people...especially missing the acetaminophen. Of course, an enterprising addict might know how to remove acetaminophen from whatever (addicts can get pretty creative with freezers and such)...I can guarantee that if I actually still talked to those people their already in the know and will be hunting for this very soon.

  14. Re:Problem is, they're probably both right on Doctors Say New Pain Pill Is "Genuinely Frightening" · · Score: 1

    It is actually way different from "meth". Meth is nasty, made in a trailer or some home-made lab. Zohydro is in a clean regulated factory. Meth can, within a few months, destroy your skin and teeth but I doubt Zohydro is the same. But yeah, in terms of just the addict behavior they do / will have many similarities, although Zohydro will cost much more.

  15. Re:Opiates are SO hard to sell on Doctors Say New Pain Pill Is "Genuinely Frightening" · · Score: 1

    You can't really inject marijuana though, unlike Zohydro. And two "hits" of pot won't kill you, but this could. But, it will probably be around $50-$80 on the street per pill (50mg and all)...

  16. Re:It's just a tool I guess on Doctors Say New Pain Pill Is "Genuinely Frightening" · · Score: 1

    Many of the actual Zohydro overdoses probably will be mis-classified as well. Unless the police find them with a bottle of it, how exactly will they tell Zohydro from Oxycontin or heroin once it's absorbed in the bloodstream?

    And I'll bet a chunk of them are already addicted to opiates but just don't realize it yet, like Rush. If you go in for some surgery, you might be one of the "lucky" genetic addicts but you won't know until your script runs out...

    Even though I feel most of this is pure rhetoric, there is a grain of truth. I have a friend who is 37, on social security disability, because she was given too many pain pills by doctors and they "enabled" her addiction. That's what the SSI doc said at the hearing...her lump sum was around $35K.

  20. Re:It's just a tool I guess on Doctors Say New Pain Pill Is "Genuinely Frightening" · · Score: 2

    I know of people who specifically get arrested just to smuggle drugs into jail, so yeah...and several of the "rehab centers" in my town are awash with pills...even crooked staff. On top of this is 4-6% population is genetically inclined for opiod addiction. Some of these "severe pain" patients may someday find themselves; after surgery and recovery, puking up for days on end, hot / cold flashes, massive mood swings, extreme agitation at everything, inability to remember where they just "put down something", passing out while doing whatever (especially just sitting there), and many more issues that only hit AFTER you try to quit.

    Inevitably, these will quickly work their way to the street. Pharmacorp's have NO ABILITY to control their distribution after they leave the factory, and will be, within months of this drugs approval, lying to doctors about "off label" usage and getting them to replace weaker pain-pills with these. And their not effecting the liver will be a huge addict draw...many older addicts can't really take lortabs, whatever due to other drugs in them.

    The best is to fire them on a Friday. Cancel their access right before rolling up on their cube "yeah, we need to talk..." with security nearby when it eventually escalates. We've found that Iraq/Afghanistan vets with massive PTSD work the best, as they have the best "De-escalation" responses.

    I got fired from my last job on my day off, but got re-hired three weeks on a different team. We ran into a slight problem with my new email address because my old ID hadn't been archived yet, whatever that actually means. I'm assuming I could chase down some AD admin or there's some "form" somewhere on line to fix it all...but honestly my new email is better, but it gets a shit-ton of spam, that is totally insane...it was coming in other people's names but now I'm feeling the effect of having a four-teller . two letter .com, and it's like watching the internet "tubes" drain their digital sewage all into my inbox.
