Hmmm. If you don't pay for your gas, they now take away your license...

[Deja Q]

for 30 days, 1st offense. Along with paying the money plus a $30 fee.

It gets much worse after that.

1. Yeah, i've seen it around for a while.

Usually you see a sticker on the pump featuring a mean looking state trooper.

2. Where I live, it's been that way for a while.

There have been stickers on the pumps for at least the last 3 or 4 years.

3. They've had that in my state for around a year now

They have stickers on the gas pumps featuring a burly State Trooper and a dire warning. Considering the ever rising gas prices I'm not surprised there would be a corresponding rise in "fill and run" incidents. It's a necessary consequence.

4. Status quo in my neck of the woods, too

And this was long before gas reached $2 a gallon. Gotta protect the oil companies and their obscene profits one way or another.

5. This isn't for the oil companies.

It's for the individual gas station owner who has to eat the cost if some asshole drives off without paying.

[Deja Q]

6. True. Middlemen usually get caught in the crossfire.

7. You're talking driver's license, right?

Because if it was a fishing license I would freak.

8. That'll never stop me!

Fuck you, Pigs! YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAWWWWWWWW!!

9. I don't think he meant your PILOT license, Luke! nm
