Send the pic to the local law enforcement officers. & a copy to the local news.
The license plates are clear enough, with a bit of publicity both of these clowns should be facing the music !!
BTW it was your passenger who took the pic ~ not you!

Liberals? Hey don`t go calling me names

Living behind the Rainbow Curtain, they do the thinking for us

Can`t wait for Moonbeam Jerry Brown to take over. Then nothing will be illegal.................





Yeah, that is pretty stupid move on the two Ding Dongs, but at least they wern`t talking on their phones. which is illegal.

Trust me, it was there. In the end, they finally hit some traffic, slowed nearly to a stop, and the guy in the truck tossed the cigarette through the sunroof (I guess after a ton of near misses he realized a handoff was impossible).

I'm pretty sure the liberals in CA aren't the ones doing most of the smoking... well, not cigarettes anyhow.
