- tbechtx, on 04/28/2008, -2/+179It's nice to see our government reps have finally started to address the important issues.....
- tcorlen, on 04/28/2008, -7/+152what about the p3nis behind the wheel?
- ColonelJessup, on 04/28/2008, -6/+105I saw a pair of fake blue testicles on the back of a GMC today. Those things are just ***** stupid. Really, they are just ***** stupid.
And what's with the thumbnail of GWB? - edebolt, on 04/28/2008, -6/+92You will have to pry my "Truck Nuts" from my cold dead hands
- mrcoderga, on 04/28/2008, -34/+104 Not only do police and prosecutors have the power to seize anything you own on the slightest pretext, they also have the incentive. The dirty little secret of the forfeiture racket is that police, prosecutors and judges can benefit personally by stealing your property.
Brenda Grantland – America's leading asset forfeiture defense attorney – gives these examples of government greed in her book "Your House Is Under Arrest":
Suffolk County, New York. District Attorney James M. Catterton drives around in a BMW 735I that was seized from an alleged drug dealer. He spent $3,412 from the forfeiture fund for mechanical and body work, including $75 for pin-striping.
Warren County, New Jersey. The assistant chief prosecutor drives a confiscated yellow Corvette.
Little Compton, Rhode Island. The seven member police force received $3.8 million from the federal forfeiture fund, and spent it on such things as a new 23-foot boat with trailer, and new Pontiac Firebirds.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The head of one Los Angeles police forfeiture squad claims his group personally pocketed over $60 million in seized property.
Why do our courts tolerate these outrageous legalized thefts? Because they get their cut. It's completely legal for confiscated property to be used by police, prosecutors and judges, so long as it's for official business. In 1996, a federal district court even ruled that police can personally receive 25% of the value of any confiscated home, car, or business.

- MMSQ3, on 04/28/2008, -2/+52I may think that they're stupid and one of the worst things in the world, but damn if it isn't their right to have them!
I don't care if they offend me, we live in a country where freedom of expression is a protected right - even if you're expressing how much of an idiot you are! - pintomp3, on 04/28/2008, -0/+44what good is my jesus license plate without my truck nuts?
- guytoronto, on 04/28/2008, -2/+41Balls, I say. Balls!
- iiBeLiEvE, on 04/28/2008, -9/+45Finally. Those things are a surefire way to distinguish d-bags.
- fluidfoundation, on 04/28/2008, -5/+41Easy corkey. I know you've been holding that one in a while. Its not that I don't agree with you on some things, but you got to dole our your crazies little by little.
- sovietninja, on 04/28/2008, -1/+37This is the stupidest thing ever. I was behind a truck today which had the fake balls attached with a masterlock. I don't know if that's the common practice but who would steal your trucks balls? And the scariest part? The driver was a lady. Maybe.
- whereiseljefe, on 04/28/2008, -1/+32Why are they in your hands in the first place?
- exomni, on 04/28/2008, -4/+31I'm sure there's a big racket in the black market for confiscated truck-nuts. Yep, police are raking in the dough from trading those ill-gotten truck-nuts under the table.
- fluidfoundation, on 04/28/2008, -2/+29I saw just one hanging from a car. I think it was Lance Armstrong's vehicle.
.......Too soon? - TheAtari260, on 04/28/2008, -2/+28Are you telling me the Florida State Legislature has NOTHING better to do? How about getting a better means of voting!!!!
- laola1, on 04/28/2008, -8/+34Really disgusting... I mean the thumbnail of course.
- jerrolds, on 04/28/2008, -2/+25WTF Florida? Bull testicles dangling from the back of your trailer hitches? Really?
- nydwarf, on 04/28/2008, -0/+21This should be made illegal.
- spydie, on 04/28/2008, -1/+22So this is what they waste their tax payers money on?
- sovereign3, on 04/28/2008, -0/+19No, not literally.
- inactive, on 04/28/2008, -3/+21they want to ban anything they they dislike, wtf
one guy said he wants it banned because it's offensive, there is a billion ***** things that are offensive, that's life don't be a piece of ***** and try ban everything you don't like - fluidfoundation, on 04/28/2008, -3/+20Don't mess with them, man. They're nuts!
- k1down, on 04/28/2008, -1/+17Just ditch the balls and upgrade to a truck penis.
- sinurgy, on 04/28/2008, -1/+17Wow, this makes me seriously angry. Sen. Cary Baker is obviously a ***** imbecile! If Florida voters have any brains (yeah, I know) this guy will be voted out of office in a landslide on the sole basis for actually making such a proposal. Who takes that stuff so seriously they actually try to pass a law on it? Seriously Mr. Baker, do us all a favor and use one of those guns from your store to kill yourself cause you sir are a ***** idiot!
- Dylson, on 04/28/2008, -13/+29***** FINALLY!!!!!!
- fluidfoundation, on 04/28/2008, -1/+17p3nis? is that some kind of l33t prick?
- KBailey1734, on 04/28/2008, -1/+16What did the balls ever do to you?
- CMiYC, on 04/28/2008, -1/+16Is it still illegal if they are real?
- cl2yp71c, on 04/28/2008, -0/+14They haven't mentioned human testicles though.
Just a thought. - ANT1138, on 04/28/2008, -4/+18*****. I can't believe so many people have fake bull testicles hanging from their trucks that they had to make a law against it. Remind to never go to Florida.
- Suzilla, on 04/28/2008, -0/+14Indeed. Now we finally have a way to ban THEM from the legislature, seeing as how they obviously haven't the balls to pass meaningful legislation.
- bowe, on 04/28/2008, -0/+13So from my reading of the law, genuine testicles are still A-Okay?
- rblancarte, on 04/28/2008, -2/+14When it comes to comedy, It's NEVER too soon, and nothing should be off limits.
- whereiseljefe, on 04/28/2008, -1/+13Photobucket won't let me upload the picture of your mother and I having sex...
- ParticleMan420, on 04/28/2008, -2/+13thats what the trucks are anyway!
what the ***** do douchebags need with a jacked up 4X4 when they live in apartments and never leave the city? - inactive, on 04/28/2008, -1/+11Free speech wise this feels like one those "If Group xyz can say/express what they want, so can the KKK".
That said, while against dangling bull-balls, I suppose the truck owner has the right to express what they want.
..but since we're outlawing this and censoring that anyway - something about reducing NAMBLA's reach into the world would be appropriate. - NSResponder, on 04/28/2008, -2/+12Sure, they're stupid. So what? The first amendment doesn't just protect the things we want to hear or see.
-jcr - iiBeLiEvE, on 04/28/2008, -2/+12It's like I'm taking CRAZY PILLS.
- inactive, on 04/28/2008, -0/+9Nah, they will replace it with a Calvin peeing on something decal. Another badge of the common d-bag.
- marx2k, on 04/28/2008, -1/+10Sounds like the biggest tool in these trucks is usually behind the wheel.
- swicklund, on 04/28/2008, -2/+11NOOOOOO!
This is a safety issue. In the event of road rage you know never to ***** with these guys, because even if they don't a rifle mounted in the rear window, your know it just laying on the floor. - elDud3rino, on 04/28/2008, -0/+8Cause it's ***** extreme bro!!
- dexter411, on 04/28/2008, -5/+13"Watch for the government to start confiscating ever more private property without due process."
Um... there is due process in both the substantive and procedural means by passing a law like this. Unfortunately, my copy of the Constitution doesn't make any mention of an inalienable right to bear [bull] balls. - unyuzyall, on 04/28/2008, -0/+8When truck nuts are outlawed, only outlaws will have truck nuts! They can take my truck nuts from my cold, dead, hands.
- sphigel, on 04/28/2008, -2/+10People like you lead us down the road of fascism.
- Affect, on 04/28/2008, -0/+8This from the state of the wang.
- fluidfoundation, on 04/28/2008, -2/+10I dont know how comfortable I am with him having bullets to be honest.
