I didn't consent to any of this! Never talk to the police, and never talk to James.
I'm turning you in lol
But seriously, I had a blast shooting this. All the Donut folks are aces.
Legal eagle be smoking kush
I love your content. I would like to see you do a breakdown of laws broken for the Fast and the Furious series.
Objection !!!
"Not that I know what marijuana would smell like...." "I wouldn't call this marijuana scented nor would I call this DANK.." Went from a lawyer to a connoisseur real quick
His response to the smell made him x10 cooler as a lawyer, he's definitely smoked at some point in his life I think
@Budd Smokegood it’s definitely state wide legal
I was about comment this lol!😂 Lawyer knows his Kush
I laughed pretty good at that part. Though it wouldn't be weird for a lawyer to know EXACTLY what marijuana smells like - some of their clients might reak of it, or they've come into contact with it as evidence.
Then again, plausible deniability is always good to have.
@@DrakeKillah it wasn't the fact that he knows what weed smells like, it's the fact that he may know what DANK weed smells like, that's a different more positive description to use and most definitely not a common court room description of cannabis lol
But good point as well
I love that LegalEagle tested the laser scrambler and his verdict is "I'd sue the manufacturer of the illegal product", that's so lawyer it's unreal 😂😂😂
The exhaust cutout is trash if it does not add hp it is worthless
it was actually his fault for swinging the scanner lol he should of held it stationary.

That's so normal. Seriously, as if any other person wouldn't say the exact thing. Hello group think! 329 upvotes? 😂
I love how "ignorance of the law" is not an excuse if you break the law, but the "ignorance of the law" is an excuse if you are an officer falsely arresting someone.
I had the same damn thought lol
Story I heard long time ago would explain this it was something like the man got rejected to join the police force since he was too smart could have been a joke at the expense of US police force :þ
You do know that the police can get away with murder why not this?
I love how you act like arresting someone means they are charged with a crime.
@mimcduffee86 how does that boot leather taste?
@@mimcduffee86 They literally didn't even say that. They said officers are allowed to be ignorant of the law but civilians aren't. The whole point is people can be arrested without anything to be charged for.
I like how their lawyer's just, "No, its under your car!" and James and Jeremiah are acting like a bunch of kids making vroom noises lmao
"why would you add this to your car, it's illegal"
"Hehehe car go vroom"

@바비 소녀들.🇰🇷 word
For guys that race their performance car on weekends should be allowed to have it installed, as long as they’re not dumb enough to open the exhaust on the street.
Yea because they said “it *looks* cool” which is why the Lawyer was 100% right in saying it’s under your car meaning you can’t see it in the first place

Jeremiah or whatever
"I mean it's incredibly illegal, but it's cool as hell" said every criminal lawyer ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He seems cool asf
One reason for when you would want to hide a license plate is when you park it at an airport when going on vacation - so to not tell thiefs that your home is now empty and ready for looting.
Good idea, but I wonder if that is legal. Might depend on whether the lot is technically private or not. Most airports are owned by the city/state/county. In NYC area they are all owned by the cities and operated by the Port Authority. I wouldn't be shocked if the PA cops had some rule about that. Risk probably low I suppose.
@@ericmills9839 I think you'd probably get away with it if you only use it when parked and I doubt it's even illegal in most states. It's definitely legal on private property. If a cop noticed it and questioned you you could say it was to lower the risk of your plates getting stolen(pretty common). But it'd be easy to forget to uncover it before you drive and if you got caught you'd probably get a ticket. Maybe if you told the cop you forgot to uncover it he might give you a warning but probably not.
I would presume that if it was used on private property that it wouldn't be illegal, but the fact it's installed would suggest that you do use it on public roads which would be very illegal.
I was thinking that it would be useful if you have a car that you frequently put on display at legitimate car shows. People constantly taking pictures of your car, and you don't want your plate number being posted online. Even the flipping plate. You can have a decorative plate for display on one side.
I'm not sure of the legality of this scenario, but I can see it being useful in a non nefarious way.
"A lot of stuff that is cool is illegal!" I'm also a lawyer and rarely have truer words been spoken
Hopefully you are better than legal schmegal
What's your "legal" lawyerly opinion on those electric car horns that make your car "honk" like a Big Rig, or a Train? 🤨
@@steadholderharrington9035 That's actually a really interesting legal question and one that I've thought about since watching some (sometimes hilarious) videos of people going around with train horns on their cars/trucks. It depends on what state you're in - I'm licensed here in New York, and our definition contained within the statues is still pretty nebulous. Basically, NY laws call for a horn that is sufficiently loud as to be able to warn other drivers around a vehicle, but not so loud as to be unnecessarily disruptive. Of course, no decibel levels are set forth in the statutes and the basic limit seems to be use-related. That is, if you're USING your train horn to make "unnecessary or unreasonably loud/ harsh sounds", then that could be a problem. Basically, these laws are an imprecise shitshow which many drivers could potentially use to their advantages. Anyway, cheers fellow Donut fans!
@@Pete_Finch Nebulous, is it? Try that from the perspective of an actual "Big Rig" driver who's used to being able to use their double/triple horns to gain the attentions of inattentive driver's in traffic (like waiting at traffic lights that are green, but the yahoo in front of you hasn't notice because they're too busy updating their twitter account, or something else equally lame). And then imagine going home in your "civilian vehicle" and finding yourself in the same situation but without the more effective trucker horns at your disposal. The distracted drivers barely notice regular car horns these days. 😅😅
@@steadholderharrington9035 I've got a friend who's a long haul trucker and man do I ever feel for you guys. Generally, you're the best trained and most attentive drivers on the road and I constantly see every idiot in a tiny hatchback dipping and dodging in front of you, not caring that there are thousands of pounds of cargo behind them as long as they get to their destination more quickly. Proper truck horns and train horns are sweet, I'm just telling you what the law says (and it would probably be on your side in most "nuisance" or noise ordinance cases here in NY at least)
donut has changed (in my opinion for the better) recently. i find every video is more of a group effort, and it feels more like a bunch of friends messing around while still being informative. it’s a great atmosphere.
@@Dan_R to me it felt more like a news channel, where they just sat down and talked about a subject. don’t get me wrong, i love that kind of content too, but it feels more fun nowadays.
Yeah like it's been improving a lot, look at the first episodes of Up to Speed for example lol James seemed like he was so bored
ye also all of them seem like they’ve gotten more comfortable on the show. Look at old dlist videos and James seems depressed compared to now
@@shaquilleoatmeal856 nice name lmao
@@Dan_R yeah like when James would go rage monster and have a heartattck....
I mean he still rages, but no heart trouble lately
4:29 LegalEagle is the adult and James and Jeremy are the kids in this situation lmao 🤣
He's been proven to lie though... Not a good look for a lawyer.
Nolan is the type of guy who represents himself on court and instead of 500$ fine gets death sentence.
it feels so strange to see Legal Eagle out of his chair and not looking directly to the camera, but he has a lot of swag in the shoot outside!!
He also revealed to the world that he has a profile! 😁
He also looks somewhat shorter than I expected
@@JohnNeville617 I think James and jerry are just very tall
This is the collaboration I didn't know I needed in my life.
100% I’m glad he still wore a suit too, dudes got an impeccable suit game.
The plate hider could be justified with show cars... You can be at a car show and don't want to go through the trouble of removing and reinstalling your plate
That’s what I was thinking!
Agreed. I'm sure it most likely states "for off-road use only" on the packaging.
I would also say on a truck you can use an excuse like “it’s so when I’m off-road the plate isn’t covered in dirt”
Yeah except that thing is ugly and the thick frame won’t look good on a nice show car.
Bruh you gotta stupid to think you need to hide your plate at a meet
Curious about one thing- Were there any products you wanted to test for this video that LegalEagle said "don't do this, even for a demo, even on private property with property owners permission"
All of them

Only thing that comes to mind is a bomb, which I don't think you can just order online.
You will never be a real bear
@@chloroplast8611 fax
For those wondering, the plate hider is to avoid paying expensive tolls while traveling far. They give you the remote so you can easily hit the button from in the car when you are about to go through the toll/cams. then open it up once you get past them.
Came here to say that - it's the obvious use for this product
Pretty sure that's still illegal
@@nyotamwuaji6484 lmao yeah but free tolls lol
@@shokingblazemangaming I bet it lets someone know when it doesn't read a tag. There are usually cops either at or near toll booths. It is something you buy when you want to meet an irate police officer.
@@jasonrhodes9726Aren't that all of them?
The license plate curtain should have "I EAT ASS" on it to really push the legal boundaries.
But if he was a donkey hunter and ate his kill, I can see that.
genius
I never imagined a collab between Donut and Legal Eagle, however now that I’ve seen it, I’m gonna need more.
Same! I never would've imagined how awesome of a colab they'd be. I just saw legal eagles video on illegal mods and blew me away, just really cool to see two of my (seemingly unrelated) favorite creators join up
@@jaredabauman Agreed, both videos were great and honestly a perfect match for the subject matter.
Operation Deagle
Neither did I... especially since Leagle is a DC brat!
Best donut collab 🍩🦅
I love that I'm subscribed to both these channels, you guys are all too great!
Interesting point, I know a lot of car guys that wrap the backside of their license plates, usually with some form of soft wrap that will prevent the plate from scratching the vehicle during installation or in the case of any wobbling. This is pretty common in states where you are required to have a front plate, as they'll remove the plate when showing off the vehicle.
HEY!!!! That was me who got arrested for the bumper sticker 😂 it’s nice to see people still cover it and talk about it 😂 I love your videos. So to make it on one is amazing 🤓 much love! -Floridaman himself!
What are you eating now
Eat ass, smoke grass and haul ass my man
That was such bullshit what happened all the accountability and audit channels featured it and hoped you sued them.
Nice, do you still eat that?
Awesome, years ago (also in Florida) I had a small "FUCK WORK" sticker and used to frequent a neighborhood full of cops to visit a friend , one day upon leaving we were followed and stopped and I was handcuffed and placed in the back of a crown victoria and almost arrested for "distribution of obscene material", they had to look in their books to find the charge. They let me go after searching my vehicle and gave me a court date. After a quick online search I realized I was fine and had an easy day in court. Still sucked tho, fuck those guys.
I also told the cop I was going to throw up in the back of his car from claustrophobia if they didn't open the door. They eventually relented and the cops referred to me as "special" for being allowed to hang my feet out the car, when additional units would show up (bc of course). It was insane and a complete violation of my rights and privacy. Sorry you had to go through that, but looks like you are dealing with it alright.
James: Nolan is totally doing something illegal, let's show you
Nolan: "First of all lower your voice"

As for the license plate cover, I actually lived on the same road as a coal mine, and got several tickets for obstructed plates because of the coal dust, causing me to tape cardboard over it while parked, so I can see a use for that.

Great vid.. James your killing it keep up the great work..
Plate covers are for when you are parked and those camera cars come through. Security used to chase them out of our parking lot at work all the time. Some people started putting cardboard over their plates when parked during the day.
Re: the license plate cover. I live in a state, where during the winter, my plate gets covered in salt, snow, and ice. 90% of December through March, the plate is obscured anyway. The plates are embedded with RFID anyway, and newer plates are coated with an incredibly cheap laminate that easily peels or flakes off. I would imagine that I am actually doing law enforcement a favor, by using this product; if I did, which I don't, just saying.
I've seen people use them at car meets. Makes the car look nicer when it's one uniform color. They always show the plate when they're driving though.
@@owen5640 Yeah I use one when street racing in Mexico
bro said "for legal reasons, i am not using this product"
What state has license plate that have RFID??
@@LawF250 probably only comifornia
11:25 3 valid reasons off the top of my head:
- going to a meet-and-greet and not wanting to disclose license plate details
- for a photoshoot, where the license plate won't be shown in the photos (like on Instagram) for privacy
- only enabled when not driving, as a security deterrence for prohibiting the theft of the license plate
Many jurisdictions will ticket a car that's parked without a valid plate. You can get away with not having a plate in a private driveway or at a mechanic's but if it's parked on the street you're definitely getting a ticket.
@@bwofficial1776 of course one cannot use it when in public and unattended, but don't forget that I stated these as reasons that can be given to explain the purpose behind it when asked by the police (for legal purposes)
A free piece of cardboard from your last Amazon delivery is cheaper than paying someone on Amazon $100 for that.
@@Markle2k you don't understand the logic behind the real purpose of this product and the purpose behind the reasons I just listed, and it's showing
Your first point, I think, is moot. When you leave said meet and greet you’ll have to show your plate. Meaning everyone can see it and take a snapshot of it if they so desired. Additionally you drive around all the time with your plate showing… If I remember correctly, license plate data is more or less public data. This wouldn’t really be a good argument in court I don’t think.
The 2nd one kind of makes sense.. the shoot would have to be on private property, though, at which point it might be cheaper to just unscrew your plate.
The 3rd point is an interesting one… how prolific is license plate theft? If someone wanted to steal your plate, that thing isn’t preventing that from happening.
awesome to see two channel i enjoy working together.
Didn't know I needed this collab. Lesssgoooo!!!
I remember seeing a story about the state of Indiana denying the request of a personalized license plate that said OINK The man that wanted the plate was a Police Officer and the Judge denied his request because it was disrespectful.
Yup, we have laxed vic customization laws but that was something
A cop with a sense of humor. And a judge who lacks it completely.
This is much easier to regulate in the US because of the common language, but here in the EU people often got away with shockingly obscene license plates simply by registering them in another country (which is perfectly legal and not that hard to do if the car itself meets local safety regulations). While this is usually just harmless cheeky humor, there was a famous case of political protest that made headlines across the union and prompted extensive debates over free speech and personal rights issues, fortunately union regulators (equivalent to the US federal authorities) leaned in favor of free speech, basically telling politicians to grow up and stop whining about such unusual but harmless forms of public protest.
literally made me LOL! 😅
you can actually get "around" such people by having a plausible acronym for the chosen word. In this case "Officer Is Not Kidding!"
Hearing legal eagle say "This is not dank at all." Made my day.
My favorite part in the whole vid lmao
I mean if he really wanted to try it. He can do it somewhere where its legal.
Imagine: "Your honor I object, this is absolutely not dank whatsoever."
10:54 I remembered when I was living in California, there was an intersection that had these automatic flash cameras that would catch people speeding or running red lights, but the problem was that everyone in the community complained that the cameras were HYPER sensitive and would bust people for no reason. People including my relatives would receive tickets in the mail for literally no reason. We ended up just avoiding that area all together in car.
Seeing this remote controlled license plate cover immediately reminded me how cool it would be if someone created this. Boy would this device have been helpful.
but they do make it, that's kind of the point
In FL what happened was they determined that you cannot ticket the owner of a vehicle for the actions of another driver. Send a guy a ticket because his son was driving the car and rolled through the red. Can't do that. You have to ticket the individual but since they can't prove who the driver was, thrown out in court. Then the fines were sent out from a 3rd party who didn't individually validate the offence, they just issued the citation. Plus the tickets were fine only meaning no points. So if you had the cash you could just run reds all day and pay the $100 fine with no worry. After cities lost money and paid millions for the cameras and paying court costs to fight them and losing every time, most cities removed them.
just seeing the Legal Eagle say Dank was worth everything, and it's still a great video
Ah yes, my favorite excuse: "I was not aware of the Bill of Rights as a police officer."
Yep - ignorance of the law is only considered an appropriate excuse if you're expected to know and uphold the law to the letter for your job.
On most countries the legal admitance to not knowing the law would be the end of his career as in most first world countries police officers are expected to have the same level of legal knowledge as a lawyer
yeah, fuck the police.
In this case, the officer wasn't wrong. The charge wasn't dismissed because it was unconstitutional, it was dismissed because it went viral. There is nothing unconstitutional about allowing each community to decide for itself what is obscene. If his bumper sticker had been a still shot from a pornographic movie depicting the act, that wouldn't be allowed, either, and for _exactly_ the same rationale.
You either have to be okay with young children seeing the pornographic still shot sticker _and_ okay with the obscene language sticker, or neither. The law can't reasonably cover one and not the other.
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 Why can't it reasonably cover both? Why wouldn't there be a provision for a written word or image of a written word versus depictions of images of non written acts? You're greatly underestimating people's ability to differentiate simple concepts.
Never forget that punishment by a fine means legal for a price

Yeah i was wondering in the license plate hider would save me more on toll bridges
5:58 you wouldn't really notice it tho... A cop would have to be really picky and paying attention to from "wow that car is loud" to "wow that car is loud, maybe its not normal and has something illegal to it"
Tbf.. It didnt sound natural when it was that loud
The plate obstructor is more for avoiding tolls I think. It’d work if your traveling through a place you never usually travel and you’re in a common car like a Camry, Corolla, Altima or the like.
The first product- The scrambler actually works by super imposing the radar gun's waves with its own waves so they effectively 'cancel' out depending on the speed. The range of speeds with which it works depends on the frequency. Hence when the 'product' was stationary and it showed 41 MPH, it was working.
Brain melting...
It's funny how 99.99% of ANY scanner/jammer/blocker/etc etc are proven scams, just like this first product
@@AbbStar1989 idk if you're joking but basically if you're doing 100mph then the cop radars you. It's going to show 41mph instead of 100mph.
I thought the laser works by sending out multiple lasers and getting a certain amount of matching speed readings for a lock and scramblers work by constantly sending out different speeds so that gun can’t get a consensus reading?
@@BigtimeBigA all radar guns use the Doppler principle if I am not wrong. So lasers wouldn't be of much help. Maybe they can be used to confuse speed cameras but that's all I can think of.
This is a collaboration I didn't know I needed until now.

For the license plate shutter cover, they can be used at car shows where you want to display your car for others. The car is a work of art and the license plate so an eyesore that does not contribute to the look of the car for display purposes. Plus, multiple people will take various pictures of said vehicle and you want to protect your privacy from having your license plate spread online.
Or, ya know, you could just remove the license plates at the show. That's free.
Protect your identity? Of the plate that is in plain view the entire time your car is? Lol
Ok so what about the countless people who see the plates on the road? Privacy isn't an argument when 99% of the time everyone can see your plate. It's only a concern at a car show?
that is why we have custom or vanity plates for that very purpose
If only that shutter can be replaced with another plate or a lookalike then that IS something
@@Sheridantank Did you just forget to read the rest of his sentence? He said protect his privacy from his plate being spread online. Someone online looking for you specifically can hunt down your exact name and address from your license plate alone.

The point of the “weed” air freshener is so that you can smoke weed and blame the air freshener if a cop asks
Thereby giving them probable cause to search your car even if you haven't been smoking.
We all see the idea they had when they made it. Even if it is a retarded one.
That's like using a lozenge that makes your breath smell more like booze so you can drink and drive. Why hand them another reason to sus you out lol
@@charliekelly3173 well obviously the best advice would be to not smoke at all but some people are what you call addicts.
That hella dumb that only gives the police probable cause
@@zavdab5238 depending on the state, they CANNOT search your vehicle on the grounds of smell.
The Little Tree is brilliant; it DOESN'T smell like weed, but a stoner's car does. So when a cop pulls you over and says your ride smells like a skunk's asshole, you can just show him your air freshener and say "but duuude!"
there are cops that can smell your breath directly from the passenger window in winter.
There are also cops that testify that your key was in the ignition lock, when you sleep on the backseat bench - in a key-less car.
@@sarowie a dui from weed can never hold up without admission as there is no way to test and prove you were under the influence
@@sarowie if you have a keyless car but have a key fob with you in the back you can start your car at anytime with the button
@@sarowie spoken like a true paranoid stoner
@@sarowie I have a surveillance system in both your home and car, and I always let the feds know when you smoke weed (then they pull up in the vans)
10:55 is one of the best transitions you guys have ever done
the license plate hider cold make sense for photo sessions. instead of having to cover or blur out the plate during the edit process of the photos, it could simply be covered with this thing. for the bumber sticker I would just claim I come from a region where donkey meat is a speciality xD
I like how this turned from how much trouble can you get into using/owning these products. To a legit lawyer saying "the products are being illegal by not being illegal enough"
It's an anti-plate theft device. Completely sounds legitimate 100% to me
It's an anti burglary device too.
I caught a plate theft on camera. The owner could have used one of those.
It prevents someone from stealing your tags.
While this technically this is true, anybody looking to steal your plates/tags will have a knife or screwdriver on them to cut open the flap.
@@rushdude90 They might not think there is a plate there at all and move on to the next
Dude I've never heard of legal eagle before today but hearing him say "this isn't dank" made him one of my favorites
I think we may be able to add another charge to the radar inhibitor sellers: fraud, because it claims to avoid laser tracking, which I’m pretty is impossible to do with such a device.
They probably wanted to film this in 2019, but they had to wait for ECS to send that exhaust cut out
accurate.. I waited 5 months for a coilover kit lol
Underrated comment
Holy shit been waiting on a blow off valve for 2 months
Goteeeeem
The one legal reason I can think of having the cover is for car photography, wanting to get good photos without having to unscrew the plate or edit the numbers out
Or the general actual use for liscene plate covers/flippers is classics at car shows, a modern plate often looks out of place on a classic.
Or to prevent plate cloning. Not sure about other countries, but plate cloning is an actual thing to worry about here in Australia.
People will take down the numbers on your plate, either in person or from online pictures, and then create a false plate with your registration details and slap it on their vehicle of the same make and model.
@@BW_Drums Not really a thing here in the US. License Plates are public knowledge. You can go online and look them up. The only reason people seem to block plates, is taking photos to sell a car on Craiglist or such, and I have no idea why they think they need to do it.
It would also protect your plate from being stolen and use your plate to commit a crime
@@knyte6426 You can look plates up here as well if you know the numbers on the plate. The point is to not let strangers see the numbers on your plate, because if they clone the plate they can use it on their vehicle and cause crimes/traffic infringements/cover for not having a licence etc.
The l8cense plate cover i can see rural cops letting slide if dirt roads leading to the house are common. Like where I grew up, some trucks during the wet seasons were mud covered aside from windscreen wipers areas.
The way they talked over him with "bum-bum-bum-bum" had me in stitches...
So a cop can arrest you for having two pounds less air pressure in one tire, and he's protected because he wasn't explicitly told that it's not against the law.
Good call judge!
Here's why the guy didn't win the lawsuit. He wasn't in jail that long so there wasn't any damages he immediately bailed himself out. The officer was acting within the scope of their authority it's not the officers fault that the laws have a grey area.
Qualified immunity has been abused systemically - seems anything not explicitly covered by a previous successful case or formal policy can can be claimed, if the local DA likes.
@@old_grey_cat Well the reality is that you can't get people to do dangerous jobs for low pay, and then also expect that your employer will also make your job extra dangerous by demanding that you be held accountable for your reactions to other people. A black man lunges at you with a knife you have a gun you kill the man with the gun. It was your job to go apprehend the guy with the knife. The guy dies, you go to jail. Next day when they're trying to fill the position the guy applying see's the news that the former officer was charged with manslaughter. Decides to do a different job. Now there's no more police. Now there's more crime than ever before. The game theory of the scenario dictates a certain amount of discretionary leniency towards law enforcement officers as a necessity to fulfill law enforcement job vacancies.
@@SF-dy6hn pfui. Other nations don't give the police the ridiculous degree of protections USA does, and their states don't allow those known to have been dismissed for unconscionable conduct in one place to be employed by other places. A reasonable degree of allowance for " the heat of the momant" is one thing, but the piddling, pettifogging differences the USA states have allowed to say one instruction doesn't cover the next bad behaviour are quite another.
@@old_grey_cat Well let's see in China they'll kinap and kill your for talking bad about xi ji ping, in India they use large wooden sticks to beat civilians, in the UK they have such a hard time with rampant military Islam that their women are being **** and nobody can criticize them for fear of being called racist, in Mexico you pay the police and nothing bad can happen to you. In Japan they have a 99% conviction rate so if you get arrested you're going to jail. Some would say they don't have fair trials. When I look around the globe nobodies perfect. And also you need to consider and contextualize how the different cultures have different people with different issues. So even if you find a textbook example of "perfect policing" it might not translate one to one with our demographic cultural landscape. Your argument is weak and fails. Vaguely pointing off in the distance and saying it's like that over here doesn't mean much. Make a rebuttal that addresses the issues I listed or forfeit the argument.
The radar jammer worked amazingly, as the radar gun is using continous wave radar to determine speed via doppler, the radar jammer sent back 41 mph. The detector wouldnt notice a change in speed unless the jammer was working.
Thats horrible if your driving in a 30 zone or anything 40 and below
this is a horribly wrong explanation. jammers don't send back a speed, they send jamming signals which counter act the gathering of the speed. these rocky mountain products have been shown time and time again to not work at all what you saw of the radar gun was the result of something moving in the background such as a fan, not the "detector".
@@justinjones6264 Then maybe jamming is just the term they went with because it's popular even if inaccurate.
Otherwise, if the device puts out a 40 mph speed stationary, then that means if you place it facing the rear, it'll decrease your detected speed by that amount when you pass by a radar gun. I think that's better than outright spitting out garbage data, concealing the car's true speed but also making it obvious that the driver is using a jammer.
The license plate thing might be cool to mount in a bookcase, as a place to conceal items. (in a minimally secure way) The flipper might be handy for mounting photographs, that you can change - depending on your guest.
lol, Le Creuset sticker on his laptop. Bro be rocking some excellent cookware
I really liked seeing a legit lawyer on here, and giving the possible scenarios with each item to give it context. Great stuff.
Still waiting for the lawyer to show up.
@@StealthNinja4577 No kidding.
Registration sticker theft used to be a big deal around here. I was taught to cut the edges of my sticker so if someone tried to steal it off my license plate they could only get part of it and then move to the next car. That cover seems it would do the trick much cooler.
That's why they will recommend to score the sticker with a X, at your local DMV or DOT office.
Now they just steel the whole plate
I've heard of that happening too. There are special bolts for that. What surprised me was that if the sticker comes from the newer auto payment machines, it had a number that was associated with the car, vin or license plate, I don't remember instead of a random serial. That's not to say I expect cops will be checking that closely, unless they are really struggling to come up with probable cause.
Connecticut went from having a plate sticker to having a window sticker and then to save costs they got rid of both.
@@henshawsm Makes sense, the moment the cops type in you're plate number, the computer likely brings up all the current DMV info for that car anyway, including registration or non-opp status.
"Not that I have any experience with this... but this doesn't smell like Pot"
made a chuckle Hella hard

You guys are geeky dorks! I LOVE IT!
Hahaha, I can see the cop coming up to the car and asking "is my dad in there?" "I can smell him, where is he? "
I don't trust that slick talking fella in the suit. I want MY lawyer, the legal beagle!

I wonder if that radar can detect Taco Bell’s if it can detect fake speed.. hmm.. -Edgar
Lawyer guy has the jokes!
Bring him on more often, he's great.
You should check out his channel- he genuinely both hilarious and informative. Damn good content, and tries to make some sense of the circus going on with our politics.
Hes quite funny
He's the joke!
he has a lot of opinions that dont always test very well.
@@Wolfmeister666 I thought he was damn funny.
i missed the d-list intro with the freezeframe playing over and over on Jamesssss
Great collaboration!
12:13 The lawyer goes : "That's an good information to know!" I can't😂😂😭😭😂😂
Is funny watching James and Jeremiah tone down their screams and craziness for a somewhat serious guest. Great video.
Awesome. More Donut Eagle, please!
"You're like a mob lawyer. You're dirty!" 😆😊
In Germany, vehicle registration plates are a document. They are provided with an official seal. They are also standardised and must always be clearly legible. This means that you can get into trouble if mud makes the number plate illegible. Wear and tear, e.g. faded black lettering due to frequent washing, can also lead to the need to have new licence plates fitted. So any kind of paint or foil has no place here.
Some tow truck drivers use it. When I had to have my car towed once and the driver had one of those to avoid the the 55 mph limit for 3 or more axles, so he could go 65 with the other cars on the road
I never knew the outcome of the “I eat ass” decal suit. The law itself, that protected the officer from litigation, is unconstitutional and thus qualified immunity was granted.
The officer wasn't aware of any law being broken when he initiated the stop, he had to theory craft something that might match with the help of dispatch before charging the man with obscenity. If you read FL obscenity law, it's not nearly that broad, doesn't even mention language, and as such the accused wasn't guilty of that either. The big problem with QI is that it sets an imaginary standard where police departments can only be held responsible for breaking a law if they previously were punished for breaking that same law. Unfortunately, even in cases like this where the prosecutor failed to charge and the courts recognized that the accusation was incorrect, as the officer wasn't punished there won't be a precedent to prevent future disdain for this law.
Nothing is ever bad or illegal, its just the stupid govt made them so.......
Qualified Immunity needs to end. We (citizens) can't use the same type of protections it provides.
I would’ve never thought this collab would ever happen 😂 wow
But isn't it great!? Yes.
5:00 lawyer looks like both daredevil and Lucifer lol
Two of my favorite RUclips channels together for a mashup!
11:27 plate covers are legal where i live on a parked car, even the plates that completely flip around. this is because stealing registration tags is VERY common. we use sticker tags, and most people just slap the new year over the old one until its 10 layers thick and very easy to cut off. even just putting the sticker directly on the plate, its pretty easy to get off with a teflon knife
From the UK, what on earth are these registration tags? We have nothing like that here
A razor blade will get them off pretty good too.
@@applefanXXX It's kinda like the tax discs used to be only you stick them on the plate. There's not really any need for them anymore in this online world.
Yup I’ve had my tags stolen in motel parking lot before lol
I think that's why there on the interior of the windshield in Texas
I love the difference between the two reactions for the exhaust cutout.
Donut: vroom vroom vroom!!!
Legal Eagle: SUPER ILLEGAL!!
