Link?It isn't funny if the car goes in and the electrical system shorts out and you're locked in."I unlock my doors in case I end up in a Canal!"
Nonsense.
Car doors are required by DOT to have mechanical door release mechanisms. Your door will open if your battery is dead, or the system shorted out.

Are you really so stupid that you think your car would lock you in if the battery died? Really?
Rule 3. Don’t open the door! Roll down the windows instead. Opening the door is very difficult against the water pressure and it also allows so much water into the vehicle that it will speed up the sinking process.
You’ll have 30 seconds to a minute until the water rises to the bottom of the passenger windows. This is what Geisbrecht calls the floating period. After that, the water pressure will force the window against the doorframe, making it essentially impossible to roll down.
Caveat to Rule 3: Break that window. Since most vehicles these days have electronically controlled windows, the circuits probably will short before you have a chance to roll them down. In that case, you’ll need a tool to break the window open.
Two of the most popular are the LifeHammer ($14.95), which has a hardened-steel point to help crack open the window, and the ResQMe keychain ($9.95), which uses a spring-loaded mechanism to shatter glass. If you plan on practicing with either one of these, take it from personal experience and wear work gloves. Otherwise you will cut your hands. "Make sure these tools are within reach at all times, otherwise you'll never get to them in time," says Giebeck. "And they won't work underwater. Again, you've got act quickly."

No, it depends on the neighborhood.i thought that was a frequent sight at every red light down south.
Why? When is the last time a black guy was lynched by dudes in a truck with a rebel flag? How often does that happen? People have every reason to be afraid of young black men, but that's because they earned that reputation. You might have a case against southern white guys if it was still 1950, but not in 2014.If I was black I would.

i guess popular mechanics must be so stoooopit...

It is the prudent thing to do.

I rarely have my doors locked at home.
I keep my back door open for the dogs on most nights.
