Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Just curious if anyone else has noticed more sheriff's around. The last couple weeks I've been seeing more and more. A few years ago I believe I would see 10:1 local police compared to sheriff's, now I feel like it's 10:1 sheriff's to police. I've been seeing them more frequently just driving down the road, today there were two on the same road on the way home from the grocery. I noticed last week a sheriff helping a car that was broke down. There's now sheriff's at my church and my children's school. I'm pretty sure I also saw a speed trap, after seeing a sheriff SUV pulling a car off the side of the road, I noticed another SUV parked in a well known place I usually notice local police sitting. I'm definitely feeling more secure all of a sudden as well lol
Dude, I am in Australia and we didn't know what a Sheriff was until we watched American movies, and I am seeing Sheriffs here as well!!
First time wife noticed and were were thinking perhaps it was some private security car, but no, it looks very official and it says Sheriff.
I think its not just US, but everywhere else, we are going to go back to Constitutional government with Sheriffs being the local authority. Riccardo Bosi (who is like the Flynn of Australia) has been hinting about this as well.
So I can easily see why you might be seeing more Sheriffs there as well. And yes, I feel more safe when I see them on the roads, and even seeing a patrol car on the street pulling stupid drivers rather than council cars hiding in the bushes sending tickets.
Wow! That is so awesome to hear 🙏
