In most states this is public record, although it might cost a few bucks. But I know we have some folks in law enforecement here who can get this info for free in minutes.
I think we've well established probable cause (trespassing, abandonment of vehicle... making up reasons to cite you is what cops do).covfrrider wrote:and probably lose their jobs...
Point taken... but why would a Denver (or other front range) cop involve themselves in something outside their jurisdiction? Maybe an Alma cop will chime in.TravelingMatt wrote:I think we've well established probable cause (trespassing, abandonment of vehicle... making up reasons to cite you is what cops do).covfrrider wrote:and probably lose their jobs...
To run the plate, It'd have to be someone in that area with jurisdiction. If it happens to be sitting on someone's land/claim, that person would have to file against him first. If he's parked on public land then he's just stuck. Not anyone's problem but his own. He's not exactly impeding traffic, so moving it is up to him I guess. It would be funny if a sheriff hiked all the way up there and stuck some sort of parking ticket on the windshield, or one of those "Move vehicle within 24 hours or it will be towed" tags on the window. If only he'd be so lucky, right?TravelingMatt wrote:I think we've well established probable cause (trespassing, abandonment of vehicle... making up reasons to cite you is what cops do).covfrrider wrote:and probably lose their jobs...

Not so much new as just tired of the status-quo.Doug Shaw wrote:aboynamedmargrette wrote:all anyone can do is a) go up there and lend the guy a hand, or b) sit down here and bitch about it until someone else does.Wow, you must be really new to the internet.not by self-righteous a**holes that have nothing better to do than make fun of others' misfortune.
The expectation of civil and mature behavior from internet users has been dead and buried since the early 1990s.

Misfortune? Misfortune!?! Truck Dude is hardly a victim of misfortune. He chose to go up there. We're making fun of someone else's horrible decision-making in the face of irrefutable empirical evidence that said decision was unwise. Otherwise, why don't you tell us why it was good idea for him to go up there?aboynamedmargrette wrote: If he is violation of any law, then he should be dealt with as the law requires BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, not by self-righteous a**holes that have nothing better to do than make fun of others' misfortune.

Remind me not to go 4-wheeling with you! I don't think you realize how unstable that scree really is, and what would happen to another truck (with or without someone who could "actually drive") that tried to winch him out of there while sitting on a similar foundation.
