JRMichler, thank you very much for pointing out that! I had planned on recording a short video of it. I recently bought a tripod for my phone, so that works perfectly. Thank you very much for the reminder! I will be sure to plan for that!

Are the criminals unarmed out of common courtesy? The officer that stopped me last night was polite and helpful enough, but I felt he must have been bored. I was stopped Christmas Eve for having a headlight out and I would definitely describe him as friendly and helpful. When I started looking for my proof of insurance he asked me who I had and said "I believe you."
What?!
He really should have been able to confirm that, though. Still, I had not realized my headlight was out, so I was happy about the experience.
When I was in Germany we were told to not mess with the Polizei, they were allowed to use physical force when they felt it was necessary. Last night the officer put his hand on his gun for a moment. I do not think there was a specific reason for it, no more than me putting my hands in my pockets, but it was... exciting.
VSKid.
VSkid?
Technology definitely has its limitations. The last time I flew I was held up waiting for everyone trying to use their smartphones. When it worked it was faster, but it often did not work.
