    Is that elevator really 2 YEARS EXPIRED?!
    "What does an overdue inspection mean for the institution that owns the elevator? An expired inspection means the elevator’s operating certificate is incomplete, which in Georgia nets a $250 fine for a first offense and $500 more for a second offense, in line with state elevator code. A third repeated offense results in a $5,000 fine."

    Cops :
    Your name is who raised you.
    Your badge is who you represent.
    Don't disrespect either of them.

    It's a good thing everyone in the US of A has the freedom to feel threatened when they become uncomfortable.
