Cabot St, eh? I used to live there, too and I can't imagine how you folks managed.

I live on North 29th Street, so the 20 mph speed limit is a no-go, but those curb bump-outs sound sweet as shit. Is the city saying that they only want to do those in full-out Slow Zones? It seems like they have much wider possibilities.

Not sure if you read the story, but it specifies that these violations are not on the list of things that can no longer be the primary reason for a stop. Expired/forged temporary tags are still able to be the reason for the stop. There are several paragraphs about it and everything in the article.

That's true for injuries (which the OP's coverage would have covered through the first-party medical benefits first). PA doesn't have uninsured Property Damage coverage; that would go through the OP's Collision coverage (with a deductible, of course).

If it's possible, you should try to start the insurance claim with the other guy's insurance at the scene. That way, the carrier will tell you if the policy number is fake, at least.

It seems that the bottom line of all these crime stories is: the Philadelphia Police, in spite of being funded to the tune of nearly a billion dollars per year, are embarrassingly incompetent when they even bother to do their jobs. How hard is it to notice a fake/expired temporary tag? Or someone covering their license plate? Or to understand that the law doesn't prevent law enforcement from making stops for those things?

That Gray's Ferry McDonald's should have been a historic landmark because of ODB.

This is better than the building being vacant, but not as good as a rock and roll venue.

I didn't. The flyer said he kind of does that a lot; I'll catch one of the other showings.

Does anyone know if Philadelphia Sheriff's are also repped by FOP?

I've seen some people saying that they're ok and we should leave the dirt bike kids alone. Seems like at least some are involved in various other problematic pursuits.

I thought the dirt bike boys were upstanding citizens and as innocent as the new-fallen snow?

No, this is 30th just north of Girard. Although they have been digging up the trolley tracks to replace them.
