It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I wonder what is pushing this back up to the list of shit these idiots are doing. I've seen it happen twice in as many days around the town I live in.

Take pics and report it: It's illegal.

Unfortunately where I live it's a some of those that work forces situation. It's far too red for anyone to do anything other than put me on watch for dissent.

Who’s gonna do something about it, the cops?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahaha

The cop is the one driving these and coal rolling you in the first place 😂

Anyway on an unrelated note, vehicle caltrops are incredibly easy to manufacture in any machine shop and, surprisingly, can be easily bought at many online vendors.

Definitely do NOT place them under the tires of parked lifted mega trucks with $20k of custom trim and exhaust. That would NOT be cool.

Yes, the cops. This is illegal in multiple states. You can also report them to your state's department of motor vehicles.
