Winds can lift things from the ground to very lofty heights. Reminds me of hearing of items from Oklahoma and Texas being found in the upper Midwest, Midatlantic and New England areas from tornadoes.
I can understand if they were looking to find and deport illegal immigrants, but violent robbery of military weapons? I see no WTF here.
Move along.

Sounds like it was really the lack of the insurance card, but you’d think the cop could have looked up the license plate of the car and checked that it was insured that way.
It doesn’t make sense to jail someone for a broken taillight because you have no proof it didn’t fail a couple of seconds ago.
Sounds like part of the story was edited out, for whatever reasons.

I agree that there is likely a lot more here than is what is presented. I’m not aware of any state where lack of proof of insurance is a “jailable” offense. Not having the proof just results in a ticket actually being issued.
Probably not the only US university doing this?
We are truly an idiocracy

Bizarre and cruel. Dogs need to be walked, or room to roam themselves. Just ban them if you don’t want people in cities to have them outside the house.
TSA issuing that statement over Facebook is apt. The people who believe a Costco card can be used as real ID are 100% terminally online and getting their news from Facebook memes.
Of course, most people on Facebook will still believe anything in meme form over an actual statement, so it won’t do anything.

A Costco card costs at least $65 a year! Amazon sells 1,000 gold star stickers for $5.

So I went to pickup an item at the Apple Store, but forgot my ID (had it out of wallet to scan and left it on the scanner). I had my phone with notification email, an image of my DL, and my Costco card (that had paid for it). The helper said uh, sorry, no, but the manager had pity on an old guy with his daughter in tow.

From that article
Was that intended to be funny (it is, somewhat) or serious (wrong meaning, if intended)?
BBC’s comment was dumb, regardless!
Normally, I see reporters simply say something like, “when asked for a value of the item, the museum declined to give an estimate.”
I think they were trying to imply that is was some super duper valuable piece. I agree, dumb comment.
