🚔 𝐂𝐎𝐏 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊: 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐒𝐇 🚔

Is it illegal for a passenger to ride with their feet on the dashboard?

The short answer: No… but there’s more to it.
In most cases, no law specifically prohibits a passenger from putting their feet on the dashboard. However, if it obstructs the driver’s view or creates a hazard, it could become an issue.

Here’s the part that really matters.
Modern airbags deploy at speeds exceeding 100 mph and are designed to protect people who are seated properly. If your feet are on the dashboard when an airbag deploys, your legs can be driven into your face and upper body in an instant.

The result can be devastating: broken legs, shattered hips, pelvic fractures, facial injuries, and serious spinal trauma. These injuries often require multiple surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation.

And while being flexible is impressive, an airbag is not the kind of yoga instructor you want helping you discover a new stretch.
So while it may not be illegal, it’s a habit that can turn a minor crash into a life-changing event.

Today, we join our community and our nation in recognizing Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and progress.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned they were free. This historic day serves as a reminder of our nation's journey and the continued importance of liberty, equality, and justice for all.

The Pineville Police Department is proud to serve a diverse community and remains committed to building trust, fostering understanding, and ensuring the safety and well-being of every resident.

As we reflect on the significance of this day, we encourage everyone to learn about its history, celebrate the achievements of those who came before us, and continue working together to strengthen our community.

College isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s encouraging to see schools recognizing and celebrating students who choose to enter the workforce and begin building their careers immediately after graduation rather than pursuing a traditional college path.

Skilled trades, public service, manufacturing, transportation, and countless other professions offer rewarding careers and provide essential services that keep our communities running. Every student’s path to success looks different, and it’s great to see those choices being acknowledged and supported.

RoyOMartin is an excellent company and has a strong track record of caring for its employees and giving back to the communities where they live and work. Good luck to you guys, be safe and be proud.

Two more Rebels are career ready! Congratulations to Malakai L. and Dametris B. on signing with Roy O. Martin yesterday. We are proud of your hard work and wish you the best in this next chapter!

We occasionally receive complaints from citizens regarding suspected public assistance benefit fraud. These cases are commonly investigated by the Attorney General's Office.

We wanted to share the Attorney General's reporting link so citizens can directly report suspected benefit fraud to the appropriate agency.

Please remember that knowingly providing false information on an application to obtain government benefits is a crime. If you suspect someone is fraudulently receiving benefits, use the official reporting process through the Attorney General's Office.

Thank you for helping ensure public resources are used appropriately.

⚠️Help us fight Medicaid fraud across Louisiana! Fraud steals from the hardworking Louisiana taxpayers and takes resources away from those who need them most.

If there is water covering the roadway, there is no reason to attempt to drive through it.

Floodwaters can be deeper than they appear, can hide damage to the roadway, and can quickly cause your vehicle to stall or sustain costly damage. Your safety and the safety of first responders are not worth the risk.

During periods of heavy rainfall, it does not matter how good or bad a drainage system may be. When a torrential downpour occurs, water can accumulate faster than any drainage system can remove it. It takes time for water levels to recede.

Please be patient, slow down, and find an alternate route. A few extra minutes of travel is far better than a damaged vehicle, a dangerous situation, or the need for emergency assistance.

We’re out here at the Rick Ross Car Show in Georgia with our 1996 Impala Police Package. An astronomical amount of time and resources went into building this unit.

And as always, don’t believe everything you see on the internet. No taxpayer funds were harmed in the making of this post.
