While the laws are probably fucked in their ability to be applied, jugging is a pretty common thing in texas. A town of about 70,000 had about 3 of them a week, when I was following police reports. It was a pretty common pattern, too (one atm at the back end of a parking lot for a walmart that had a bank between the parking lot and the street, then the victim drove to another store like fast food or any of the strip malls up and down that street, and then the car’s window was broken and the money removed from the atm taken if it was still in an easily grabbed envelope), so this was despite the police caring enough to scope out the particular atm where it would happen.

But what are the chances the law goes into effect on the 1st on and the 5th they make all of these arrests. And also every single arrest seems to be somebody who is using multiple license plates.
You need 2 crime items to be arrested. So like one guy had multiple license plates and a screw driver in his car. One guy had a medical mask and an extra license plate…?
