Ha. We should develop an app that tracks police cars and automatically records the time they spend at donut shops and strip clubs!

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

I've been on a couple of ride-alongs (in the front seat) and even the day a bank robber was caught, the vast majority of the day was spent driving in one big circle and filling out paperwork. One of my friends is now a cop and all she does is drive around and fill our paperwork. From what I can tell it's about 45 minutes of excitement and 9 hours and 15 minutes of sheer boredom. Oh yeah, they work ten hour days here in SD.
