  True, but they do not need to articulate their suspicion to you. The only person that they need to convince that they did have reasonable articulable suspicion prior to detaining you is the judge.

  The system is set up much more in favor of the cops than for you.

  Single sheet of paper, yes.

  But for small out of the way towns (population 2k-10k) you’d want one specific to the town otherwise you’d be looking at a tiny speck on a state sized map. And the big maps might not have all of the small city side streets or not be up to date.

  For reference, the town I did delivery in currently has a population of ~3,000 people and occupies 2.7 square miles out of the 268,596 square miles of the Texas map. Doesn’t make sense to use a map where you’re only looking at about 0.0001% of it.

  Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando’s house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.

  Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.

  I don’t miss those days.

  The fae operate on a different set of rules. The Tooth Fairy can only take teeth that are freely offered. The dead cannot consent.

  I use the most boring names: LASTNAME-LAPTOP LASTNAME-PHONE LASTNAME-SERVER LASTNAME-ROUTER

  But, living in tight suburban spaces, I’m never confused whether a device is mine or somebody else’s.

  With patched firmware, yes. And there was a program to convert any PS1 iso into a PSP loadable game as well.
