5-Points

I'm in NorCal. Traffic here is bad enough. I don't know how you SoCal people deal with the parking lots down there.

Have you ever driven in California? Using a turn signal to change lanes only encourages the person in the lane you want to enter to speed up to block you from getting in front of them. I don't cut people off on purpose but if you want to be a d!ck I'll out d!ck you in a heartbeat. I watch what traffic is doing in front of and behind me. I look at what people are doing 5 - 10 cars ahead of me across all lanes and try to anticipate what they are going to do and when so that I can decide what I want to do and when. I drive proactively. I think three or four moves ahead and I don't hesitate to make a move when the opportunity presents itself. If you maintain your heading and speed I'll be around you and gone without you ever having to adjust either one.

I think some of us are arguing different points. Maybe OP could clarify his question. I still feel that I would notice if somebody was following/tailing me. Simply based on my driving habits he/she would stand out if they had to keep sight of me. That is entirely different than a team of UC's working in concert to keep tabs on my whereabouts. Switching off every few blocks or setting up on an established travel route to monitor my progress to a known destination. Or a PI placing a tracking device on my vehicle to electronically track my location.

Let me clear this up for you since you're obviously confused. OP posed a question based on a BB story. In this story BB physically followed a cheating whoah for a few days. Said whoah never caught on that she was being physically FOLLOWED/TAILED. OP thought it strange that somebody wouldn't notice somebody physically following/tailing them for days on end. So he asked if any geeks would notice if they were being "followed/tailed" in the same manner. There was never any mention of electronic surveillance/tracking until you brought it up. hth

OP did which is why he said followed/tailed. Sitting somewhere watching a blip on a screen isn't following/tailing. NPG is arguing a completely different point. "YOU FOOLS THINK YOU COULD SEE THE DRONE 1200 FEET IN THE AIR THAT IS MONITORING YOUR EVERY MOVE? HAHAHA DUMMIES! I WIN! #$@#!"

You already did. You want to move them again?

Being electronically surveilled is not the same as being "followed/tailed". The question was would you notice if you were being followed/tailed, not would you know if somebody hid a tracking device on your vehicle.

His use of the words "followed/tailed" implies that somebody is behind you. That is different than being under surveillance. I doubt I would notice a team of UC's surveiling me. I'm pretty sure I would notice somebody following/tailing me. Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean nobody could. Some people are more situatuonally aware than others.

Wouldn't that push them farther up his ass?

Probably. I spend as much time looking in the rearview mirror as I do looking out the windshield. Plus, I'm an aggressive driver so if you're going to tail me you're going to have to keep up. That would attract my attention pretty quickly. At that point all it takes is one or two unnecessary U-turns to confirm.

They arrested him AFTER they found diamonds in his ass? ETA: Ok, so they didn't find them in his ass, he removed them himself during the stop. Whew. That sounded like an overzealous pat down for a second.

My heroes have always been cowboys.

In other words, localities designating themselves to be sanctuaries for illegals and refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorites = good. Sending illegals to these places = evil. Focking wackadoo lefty logic. Wouldn't those places be the BEST places to send illegals if we have to send them somewhere other than back the fock home?

Nikon D-80 is a good entry level body that you can build off of with different accessories as you go. They're fairly inexpensive as Nikons go and versatile enough to go from beginner to intermediate.

They just drive in circles, right?
