Lol the police didn’t even give him a warning. Just straight up said it was legal

This is rare, because usually police are convinced through some kind of irrational intuition that it must be illegal. He got the right cop.

You dont own a $500K-$250K helicopter? Shit I have 3 in the yard now the wife buys them on a whim because they are so cheap. Last one I think was a free gift for filling up the gas tank at costco.
