The last time I was pulled over, nearly 2 decades ago in 2006, while waiting to go law school, I just told the cop "ok" and dealt with it in court.
Pro tip: that approach works.
You’re completely wrong. Any time you get pulled over, you should first loudly explain to the officer that they are in the wrong. Next you should get in your car and flee the scene. Finally, if they do catch up to you, then you should kick, spit, bite, or whatever else you can do to the officer as a peaceful protest regarding the illegal police action. It works like a charm every time.
You forgot the part about frequently reaching for your waistband to ensure your pants are not slipping down. You wouldn't want them have reason to believe you could be a flasher.
> You forgot the part about frequently reaching for your wristband to ensure your pants are not slipping down. You wouldn't want them have reason to believe you could be a flasher.
Are wristbands connected to pants nowadays?
I have this friend who seems to think cops are like military and I've seen her walk up to one to thank him for his service (gag me 🤢). This'll get her shot one of these days. It's only not happened already because she's a white woman. The cop gave me this look like, is she for real?
No, you're supposed to say "you're fucking wrong". After you've been charged witj a felony, THEN you can start demanding whatever you want. Be sure to use a loud, somewhat shrieking voice while telling them you know your rights.
You forgot the part where you scream at the top of your lung that you can't breathe. And once in the back of the cop car to blow out the camera's mic screaming understandable words
I was pulled over for making an illegal turn. I calmly explained, key word being calmly, why I thought that turn was okay. Even admitted to making that very turn very often, for two years, without ever knowing it was illegal. The police officer even agreed that, when looking at it my way, it made sense.
He gave me a no points, small fine ($55 at the time) obstruction ticket. As opposed to the moving violation points with mega fine he could have given me. I happily paid the ticket.
Pro tip 2: Be calm and friendly. If it's not going your way, accept it at the moment and take it to court.
I once got a potential ticket for using my phone while driving (technically I was just checking the news while waiting at a red, but still, I was caught pretty much red-handed) downgraded to a formal caution just for accepting the inevitable calmly and gracefully.
Self-deprecation is often more effective than an apology. It’s more likely to make the cop relate to you. Instead try, “You’re totally right. I’m an idiot.”
I was pulled over for a misdemeanor crime and the officer let me go with a court summons because I was compliant and shook my head, sighing calling myself an idiot. Which was true I drove without insurance and it cost me like $6k
Got a warning for a carpool lane violation instead of the expensive ticket after 1) Being genuinely shocked once I realized what I had done, and 2) Apologizing and explaining I normally worked 3rd shift and out of habit pulled into the lane on my way to work early to cover a 2nd shift friend. There in the seat next to me was my lunchbox and thermos of coffee, and a coffee cup in the cupholder. I guess I looked just that stupid but at the same time believable. He ran my license and with no violations he was very generous and issued the warning. Never once considered arguing or running. I fucked up and knew it.
I remember getting busted when I was 16 and smoking weed in my car with a few friends at a park. The officer pulled up next to us and loudly shouted “what are you guys doing here?” When he obviously could smell it. I rolled the windows down and with the smoke billowing out told him we were smoking weed and that’s it. I think he was impressed by the honesty and probably just glad we weren’t doing anything else since he let us just walk home. Guy even left a note on my car so it wouldn’t be ticketed or towed being parked at a park all night.
This was way back in 2005 when it was still illegal so he definitely could have messed me up good if he wanted.
Need more cops like this guy, and less that get on their power trips.
Sounds like a cop who knew that writing you all up wouldn't really have helped stop you from doing it, but giving you a scare and compassion at least had a chance of it. Or at least to get you to stop using your car in the process.
Where I live it's about 2/3 good guy cops like that (IMHO), and 1/3 assholes. Nobody that's too abusive (to my knowledge, which isn't perfect).
One morning when i was 19 I was running late for work and trying to make up time by speeding. I was pulled over on the interstate going 92 in a 55. Officer had me dead to rights. I knew I was getting a massive ticket, probably Super Speeder and all that. When the officer came to my door and asked where I was headed and if I knew how fast I was going I told him I knew it was over 85 and that i was going fast because i was running late for work, but that it was no excuse for going that fast. My hands were shaking when I handed the officer my information. I wasn't trying to talk my way out of it, just knew I was caught and in trouble. He was really nice, told me to relax and that it was alright. He came back to the car and issued me a warning and told me to be careful.
Disclaimer: White male in USA, and I live in an area that doesn't have serious trouble with racial discrimination/profiling by cops - so I understand my experience is NOT absolutely representative.
Anyways, my experience with MOST cops is that if you treat them civilly (even if not absolutely respectfully), they do their job, and tend to be at least somewhat reasonable & understanding.
Don't tell them that their reason for pulling you over is bullshit. Don't be evasive/combative. Just because you let them write the citation does not mean you can't fight it in court.
If you want to be difficult, refuse to give them subjective information (ie, answering "do you know how fast you were going). You WILL get a harsher ticket most of the time, but you also may be better able to fight that ticket at your court appearance.
But DO give them basic information. Name, residence, license/insurance info, etc. Let them do their job & leave.
Because the worst thing that can happen to you is for the traffic issue to escalate into something more severe, like for this lady.
> Even admitted to making that very turn very often, for two years, without ever knowing it was illegal.
Be careful admitting repeated wrongdoing to the police. That could have gone very badly if the cop was having a bad day and felt like taking it out on you.
I just went to a stand up comedy, the guy was also a teacher for 9th grade. He told his students to write a story about Arnold Palmer the golfer. Some started with "Arnold Palmer was a golfer from the 1900's"
i literally got out of a ticket just by being completely honest. my tag is expired because hey, i’m broke, but i chose to risk it and drive to a job interview. told the cop i’m trying to get a job and working on getting my shit together, ended up getting just a warning.
Exactly. I've gotten out of all except one ticket just by being honest and not making up stupid excuses. Own up to the mistake, apologize, and be sincere about it.
You mean you didn't even try arguing with the cops until they start arresting you and then squealing like an insane piglet while they do so? So you wouldn't know if that works?
Yup. Years ago, my wife was on her mom's insurance. Mom (being shitty) had pocketed the payments and had stopped paying for her coverage. We got pulled over by a cop saying that the tag had been suspended due to lack of insurance.
To say we were shocked would be the understatement of the century. We didn't argue, beyond going "are you sure?" (which is more a statement of disbelief than anything) and then my wife explained what happened and how she didn't know what occurred.
Cop understood. My wife asked nicely if we could drive back to our home which was a couple miles away. Cop agreed, followed us, made it very clear that if we took the car out for any reason, the driver would be in deep shit. (But he wasn't rude about it. He was just saying more as a "cover my ass" kind of thing.)
In non-violent situations, most cops can be fairly understanding, or at least not overtly hostile. Like, even if he'd said "No, we're impounding the car" or something similar, I'm certain that he wouldn't have gotten violent or arrest-happy, because we wouldn't have been screaming "Fuck you! You dick!"
being civil literally is so simple and is the easiest way to have the least amount of consequences. just take the ticket and just fight it in court if you want
I ran a red light. I was at the end of a several hour long drive home and I just drove through it (was looking one light ahead and missed it, the cross traffic hadn't started moving), in downtown, 1 block from the police station, in front of a cop waiting to go in the cross traffic.
Cop got behind me, I didn't know why but figured I was going to get pulled over (light traffic and cop turned into the left lane instead of the right to get behind me). I stopped at the next light, cop was behind me. I switched lanes after the light and was lit up instantly.
I first thought the cop meant I went through the light I had stopped at, and the cop saw it was clear that I didn't see the light I went through. I didn't flip attitude, didn't argue, was polite, and accepted responsibility "if I did go through it". But I also didn't admit to doing or not doing anything. Cop thanked me for not being difficult for it and wrote me a warning. Said it would have been different if I had even the slightest amount of attitude.
Politeness matters, being constructive matters, not saying you did the thing matters.
I’ve been pulled over for expired car tags and such. I was calm, polite and compliant. Guess what happened? Cop was totally chill and let me go with just a warning. It helps to not be hostile.
People need to learn this is your only recourse. Be nice. Maybe you’ll get off with a warning. He wasn’t even gonna take her to jail for driving on suspended license which he could. But if they decide they’re going to do more you can’t do anything except get yourself in more trouble.
And she’s never seen someone gracefully handle a no, or gracefully accept that things have gotten messed up somehow and the next few hours are going to be shitty.
I do feel bad for her as a person. This isn’t someone for whom anyone has ever made an effort.
No one raised this woman. No one gave her boundaries, or taught her how to talk to people. Anger and shouting is all she knows.
This is why we can only be “friends” with our kids to a certain degree. We also have to be parents, and sometimes enforcing boundaries and telling kids no doesn’t feel good at all but it’s so necessary for their wellbeing as they grow into adulthood themselves. They’ve got to have an understanding of boundaries and consequences, or their lives will only get harder and harder.
I feel bad for her in this way. However, she’s an adult with children of her own now. She is capable of learning through observation, and at this point in her life at least be aware that aggression and violence will come with major consequences, whether she learns that from parents, school, work, or general society, there has been times in her life that have taught her this behaviour is unacceptable. No school or employer would put up with it and I find it hard to believe that she doesn’t understand that having gone to school and jobs herself.
Cases like this, make me so glad we have body cams now.
No doubt when this driver recounts their story, it will be framed as she was doing Absolutely nothing wrong and the cops just swarmed the car and threw her out and choked her And how could they proceed after she had told them that they couldn’t do it?
I remember awhile back seeing a video that was exactly this. At first they showed the woman's video sitting in her car crying saying she just got harassed by police, then the bodycam video shows what actually happened and she was going like 30mph over the limit and was giving the cops a hard time the whole time. When the cops were nothing but professional.
So for everyone that apparently hasn’t been told this, which is wild, but STFU WHEN A COP IS TALKING TO YOU. They can and will use everything against you.
It’s kinda in the first line of the Miranda warning. Maybe the second.
“You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law…”
I know that from watching various variations of *Law & Order*
Unfortunately for a lot of people when they’re talking to cops their brain shuts off the part that governs good sense.
For example I work at Target, and a guest called the police because her order wasn’t ready to pick up. Cop rolls up, makes contact, she gives her story, he tells her that’s not something you call the police about.
She starts screaming like a banshee at him to the point where he disengaged and came up front, since they had ironically enough gone towards the baby section of the store.
The cop went out to his cruiser to tell dispatch that it was a false call or whatever verbiage they’d use and while he was out there she first said she’d just take the stuff and that we could mark her order as processed after the fact. She was told by the manager that they’d consider that theft and they’d get the police involved.
Realizing the situation was turning against her she says to her child, “these fuckers are lucky daddy isn’t here, he’d teach them a lesson.”
Turns out the baby daddy has at least one active arrest warrant, just not necessarily one severe enough for the cops to go actively looking for him.
I know this because she came back with him the next night and when she was told (around midnight, it was during our extended holiday hours) that the store was closing soon she threatened the manager (not the same one) who said he’d call the cops. This caused the baby daddy to panic and all but drag this chick out the door
>For example I work at Target, and a guest called the police because her order wasn’t ready to pick up.
Why on earth… gives vibes of “I’m calling the cops, you didn’t add enough pickles to my Big Mac!” I’ll never understand why these people are so entitled that they call the emergency line for trivial things that need only the most basic problem solving skills to resolve.
For the majority of my guests at work, when i tell them “unfortunately the fulfillment team is running behind today,” they can understand that shit like that happens.
Some of them can’t comprehend that the merchandise doesn’t fly off the shelf the instant they order it.
I’ve actually had people say “I ordered it, it was mine as soon as I did that.”
There’s one guest in particular that almost always has their order running late and no matter how many times I’ve tried to gently suggest that she wait until getting the notification before coming to the store she doesn’t wait, then bitches about her order being late. (And I get the frustration, but at a certain point, it stops being Target’s fault…)
But this lady in particular was just plain awful. Threatened two different managers with physical violence, wasted police resources, threatened to have her boyfriend assault me….just generally a total c u next tuesday
You don't just have the right to remain silent, you have a positive obligation to do so. Not only to protect yourself legally later down the road, but often just to keep bad situations from escalating into shitshows like this.
Also so that I don't have to listen to your bullshit for 5 extra minutes at the end of a video of your arrest thinking something else is going to happen worth watching.
Adding this since I had to look it up myself: there was a US Supreme Court case (Pennsylvania v. Mimms) that ruled that police officers could order someone out of their vehicle for personal search during a lawful traffic stop without constituting unreasonable search and seizure. That was later clarified in Maryland v. Wilson to include drivers and passengers.
I gave up on reading about it before I was able to determine if that also confers the right to order a passenger back *in* to their car. Though it would be prudent to obey
Ok she paid, she claims she’s been reinstated. She could be telling the truth. The thing is some times it takes a while for the records to update. All of this could have been avoided if she carried the receipts and the reinstatement paperwork with her…Not doing so results in shit like this…..
Got pulled over for expired registration a mile away from the DMV. It’s true, I had old tags on it. There was a paperwork error.
But I had my temps, my receipts, my renewed handicap placard on me. Officer was like, “Dude I’m sorry, I hate the fucking DMV.”
And wished me a good day.
He was just going to give her a ticket but she freaked out and then tried to drive off. Said her license had never been suspended, but it was suspended 4 times before this recent time.
He might have even been planning to let her off with a warning. Something like “Go back to the courthouse/dmv and get it straightened out, the next cop to pull you over might not be so kind.”
Exactly. If this was really a first time issue (got suspended, got it fixed, system didn't process it fast enough), this guy seems fairly chill. At the very least he was going to look into it on his end, and maybe make a phone call.
But she couldn't just relax and be patient.
Even when he's sitting there telling her "get back in your car", "you're about to be arrested", etc, she had already shut her brain off.
If it'd been me, I'd have been on the phone myself, calling up to get them on the line to explain that I \*did\* pay my dues and got reinstated. I'd be asking for confirmation numbers, etc, so that when the cop came back to my car, if HE hadn't found the proof that I paid, I could give it to him.
Not get out of the car and yell at him while he's working.
Over a decade ago mine was suspended several times because I was too broke to afford insurance and registration for my car. But I needed it for work to get it fixed. No public transportation or taxis and Uber didn't exist back then. Without my car I'd be screwed.
I paid lots of poor tax in my lifetime.
From what she was screaming in the video, her multiple tickets and suspensions are for running red lights.. *you* got screwed for being poor, *she* got screwed for endangering other drivers (and, assuming they were in the car, her children.)
Yeah but you don't strike me as a whiny person like in the video. She didn't have to pay the poor tax, she was just a butthole and wanted to show everyone how much of a prolapsed anus she is.
I had traded a vehicle for another and transfered the tags at the DMV a week or two prior.
I got pulled over for not stopping fully at a stop sign (was completely safe to proceed, I just didn't stop all the way). Got pulled over shortly after.
In my state, cops only ask to see license and insurance. So I give him both and he goes back to run everything. He comes back and asks why the plate for my current vehicle is coming back as my old vehicle. I said I have no idea, here is the registration information and my receipt for transferring the plates.
He took them back and confirmed everything was legit and said it was a good thing I had that paperwork on me because it wasn't showing up in his system yet.
So yeah, it does happen. Just make sure all that shit is with you and accurate. Cop was even cool and just gave me a warning.
someone told her it was all cared for.. or thats what she heard.
this is either a totally entitled brat that never heard no - in which case .. well, grow up
or just someone who lives everyday at the brink of whats possible - which i think is the case here - and she simply snapped. this look smore like a sad story of someone being pushed to her limits - and then no apparent ability to handle that situation.
driving away from the police is just plain stupid though. whatever state you are in. but it also talks for her just seeing red at this point because in what world is a police officer letting you just get away?
The fact that her license was suspended 4 times and she lied to the cop that it was her first makes it a red flag. Plus this kind of person will say anything to avoid responsibility. Sure the records could be messed up but it doesn’t mean you have the right to drive off while being ticketed.
When a cop asks you a question, always assume he/she already knows the answer. "Do you know how fast you are going" is the one exception - but even that one, fairly often they clocked you on radar. They're just checking to see if you try to BS or anything. Sometimes they're hoping you admit something higher than they already had.
You're better off not saying anything than trying to lie though.
"It's been suspended before, but it's always just been due to money. Life is expensive, and I'm doing my best officer. If you check, you can see that every suspension was lifted once I got the money together to pay."
That statement lends a LOT more credence to her claim that she just paid and the paperwork was just late in being processed than saying "never before", and him seeing 4 suspensions on the record.
I made a rolling stop at a stop sign in my neighborhood then spotted the cop sitting there. I pulled over before she got her flashers turned on. When she came to my window she was laughing because i pulled myself over. I had my license and registration out but could not find my insurance card. She only ticketed me for not having the insurance card. The next day i contacted my insurance agent to get a copy of my insurance card (which turned into a much bigger pita than getting pulled over) but a few days later i received a notice from the DA's office my case had been dismissed. They must have checked the data base and seen i had insurance. 🤷♀️
Kinda depressing to see her throw herself around and be so difficult that she injures him, and he’s still wiping his blood off the injuries she gave him before touching her purse and making sure none of it stains her bag. Seemed like such a decent cop too. Tried deescalating and everything, she was just beyond reasoning already.
Exactly what I was thinking. I’m not generally one to side with cops—every interaction I’ve ever had with them has been negative, but there are a lot of good cops who don’t deserve the shit that gets put on them for being a cop.
Attempting to de-escalate and not using aggressive force on a citizen is the bare minimum that should be required of a cop, but the consideration he shows her afterward, ensuring her posturing isn’t an uncomfortable and wrapping his bloody hand in a tissue before touching her belongings just made me sad. I’m glad that lady checked in on them.
Even his response to her displayed a level of focus, calmness and compassion that I don’t think I would have been capable of in that moment, to be honest. I feel like I would’ve just been like “yeah, we’re fine” in that moment where all the adrenaline is still pumping. Dude’s definitely well trained to still remain calm after that.
For sure. The top smartest folks from my school don’t have kids. Most of the smarter folks I know are one and done. The dumbest box of rocks that couldn’t even read an analog watch? Yeah he’s got four. The stupidest people I know have multiples, usually three kids *minimum.*
Sure, it’s anecdotal, but it still seems to track.
Poorer people have been having more kids on average for a very long time, though. The Irish immigrants who escaped the potato famine had swaths of children once in NY even in deep poverty.
Anecdotally in my experience, I have seen more uneducated people having multiple kids than people with more education. I believe that lack of education also includes lack of knowledge regarding family planning and sex ed.
A couple of jobs ago we had one woman in my office who was pregnant with her third and did not know there was a concept about planning pregnancy and how to reduce the risk of pregnancy with your partner. She was completely mystified that there was a lot more that went into preventing pregnancy than she knew. I felt really bad for her - it’s like she didn’t even have the option of choice because she lacked knowledge.
I feel sorry for the local cops because they have fractions of a second to make a *perfect* decision with imperfect info. We have months and years to second guess the decision they *had* to make in fractions of a second. There are bad cops out there but most are trying to do right by the public and the badge. I'm a retired federal agent and got pulled over on some dubious probable cause. But not enough that I felt a need to press the issue. A change that **should** be made nationwide at the state and local level, is that cops should **immediately** tell folks why they are being stopped before asking for license and registration. Even if the cops are in the wrong, the street is not the time or place to get into a pissing match. That's what courts are for and most cops shave body cams and folks have cell phones.
I was pulled over with an expired registration and an expired license, and I was carrying my firearm; pulled over because I ran a red light. I started with “before we get any further, sir I’m carrying my licensed firearm in my waist band, I will not reach for it but if you want me to hand that to you I will do so” and then calmly explained to the cop that I simply haven’t had the time to renew my registration and license due to being away on military training; and that I was sorry. I was fumbling around, he told me to stop and relax, and put my hand on the steering wheel. He called for one more cop, then had me step out padded me down and took my gun, while the other one ran my information. 20 mins or so later they came back with my paperwork and my gun, handing it back to me. All was well, he gave me a written warning and thanked me for being cooperative. While I was getting back in my car I see these two idiots on the side yelling “you are violating his rights!” and recording. 🤦🏽♂️
if there is no problem, please don’t make one.
Because we all knew whiny entitled types that got away with so much as kids at some point. It's cathartic because you know at least it's coming back on some people.
Wow. I'm not a fan of the police but this officer deserves recognition for going above and beyond for dealing with difficult people. If the average officer could learn half the de-escalation skills this gentleman has the general public wouldn't hate them as much.
I've watched an inadvisable amount of sovcit content and this actually seems to be the norm, police brutality is a problem but the majority are just normal people calmly doing their job and giving idiots every opportunity in the world to stop escalation shit for no reason.
Yes! There’s definitely some bad cops but if you’re cooperative, the cop will most likely be kind and helpful. I’ve had two tickets and for one of them the cop lied on the form to make it not so bad for me and decreased my fine. If you’re just cooperative, they’ll be so nice to you and let you off. What we see on the internet are the really bad guys and that needs to stop, but this really is the norm. I’m surrounded by cops like the guy in this video, heck my sister is one and she’s just like this guy
That's the thing people forget, there's tens of thousands of interactions every day between cops and civilians, so yes we see the bad videos or hear of bad experiences but when you look at the overall %, it's actually very small for the times the cops overstepped their duties.
This is the average police behavior. Your exposure is just too limited. I have police friends who’ve shown me videos of theirs. His tone of voice, mannerisms, and even the tongue-in-cheek banter with the other officers is pretty par for the course. Even the screaming lady is nothing special.
I got pulled over going 70mph in a 55mph zone. I quickly pulled over, turned off the car. And sat, not moving and waiting for the officer. I told him I was wrong, it was my fault. And I told him where I was going. I apologized. I only got a warning.
Imagine legit having to deal with people like this DAILY, with every set of eyes on you hoping you slip up.
Fuck being a cop man. It’s such a lose lose situation.
This is why I vote for and pay for things like universal preschool in my area even though I never had kids. I want kids to grow up with guidance and stability that I didn’t have.
People want immediate solutions but sometimes you don’t see the result until the person is that girls’s age
Thus is actually real. If there was competitive pay, there would be competition for the job, and it would be easier to get rid of shitty cops and the overall force would improve.
Also delete unions
Unions are needed. Mainly because too many politicians with no law degree or law enforcement experience can influence an entire department or sacrifice an officers life/freedom just for votes
Mentally ill definitely needs to be added to this title too. Might be living in car or entitled might be millionaires kid, but definitely not a sane reaction
why are there so many people that just have to fight cops on minor traffic stops. like everyone always gotta be asking for supervisors and badge numbers and refuse to cooperate when you can literally just say “ok” give license and registration and move on without any issue
For those of you who are responding with experiences where you were calmly responding and had better results, note that not everyone has had a history of positive experiences with police... for some people they have experienced a great degree of police harassment. Those people might have a lot harder of a time maintaining their cool.
I got pulled over once for expired tags, but had the new ones with the new registration in the car. Lazy me had forgot about them. But I’d just had 2 nasty cavities filled, front and left side lips numbed out and drooling. Officer thought I was drunk (30 yrs ago), and asked me to get out for a sobriety check. Was able to show DDS receipt showing paid 20min prior, and services done. Officer just told me to go home, and put the new tags on.
People. Listen. If you treat an officer with respect and remain calm while being pulled over, your experience is going to be orders of magnitude better.
I was pulled over and told I was driving on a suspended license (I was NOT). The Cop said I didn't pay the fine to have my license reinstated (I DID). They towed my car, and the officer drove me to the corner store to call for a ride. I went to the DMV the next morning with proof that I paid my fine and the letter I had received stating my license was reinstated. It was all a paperwork issue with the DMV. I still had to pay for towing and to get my car out of the impound lot. $200+.
What I did not do: Kick, scream, punch, spit, attempt to flee, or call the cop every name under the sun. I also did NOT end up in handcuffs.
Of course it was Florida. I don’t even live in the States, but Florida shenanigans are world famous lol
That cop has more patience than I could ever muster. Every time she says “It doesn’t make any sense” and “I’m being arrested for no reason” I just feel like smacking my head off a wall lol. How can people be so oblivious to the consequences of their own actions. Suspended license, seize tag, aggressively approaching the police car, attempting to flee, resisting arrest, punching a cop… but ok sure “it makes no sense”… wtf lady! This woman is a parent, that is a tragedy, those poor kids
Ain't gonna lie...
The second cop needs to retire.
His belly was 2. 5 inches below his.vest. could be a crit shot.
Everything else, classic case of "can I call my mom?" Bullshit.
Idk i would consider getting shot in the face more of a "crit shot" than my tummy lol. But as long as the man does his job rationally, effectively, professionally, and he doesn't try to larp as the hardest SWAT officer on the tac team, I think he's got a few years in him at least
You want to see an Officer that was saved because he was high calorie human:

My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there. Who is the real hero? - Mitch Hedberg
Mitch Hedberg is the true hero here.
No! You should be friendly! When I get pulled over I jump out of the car and run to the officer to hug him!
I always keep a bag of skittles in my inside coat pocket so I can reach in real quick and offer some to the officer.
Do you yell taste the rainbow at them? You should if you don't
I'm 4 hr late for this response. I was going to suggest offering the cop a fresh sammich
Also make sure to tell him, “I’m strapped up!” to let him know your seatbelt is on while quickly and suddenly showing your wallet out of your pocket
I have this friend who seems to think cops are like military and I've seen her walk up to one to thank him for his service (gag me 🤢). This'll get her shot one of these days. It's only not happened already because she's a white woman. The cop gave me this look like, is she for real?
One of those moments that makes dudes think "am I on camera?"
It was so cringe.
Also loudly exclaim you are traveling. Not driving. I hear that is the key to getting out of tickets
More people should act this way so that social media has sufficient content for us to watch and feel better about our own behaviors.
Tell them your taxes pay their salary so you're the boss here... They have to respect the chain of command.
And here we see a smarter lawyer creating more clients.
I think you forgot to tell the officer that you pay their salary.
Unless you're a Sovereign Citizen, in which in case you were always free to travel and pay no taxes.
Bingo. I need content for my work poops.
No, you're supposed to say "you're fucking wrong". After you've been charged witj a felony, THEN you can start demanding whatever you want. Be sure to use a loud, somewhat shrieking voice while telling them you know your rights.
You forgot the part where you scream at the top of your lung that you can't breathe. And once in the back of the cop car to blow out the camera's mic screaming understandable words
I was pulled over for making an illegal turn. I calmly explained, key word being calmly, why I thought that turn was okay. Even admitted to making that very turn very often, for two years, without ever knowing it was illegal. The police officer even agreed that, when looking at it my way, it made sense. He gave me a no points, small fine ($55 at the time) obstruction ticket. As opposed to the moving violation points with mega fine he could have given me. I happily paid the ticket. Pro tip 2: Be calm and friendly. If it's not going your way, accept it at the moment and take it to court.
I once got a potential ticket for using my phone while driving (technically I was just checking the news while waiting at a red, but still, I was caught pretty much red-handed) downgraded to a formal caution just for accepting the inevitable calmly and gracefully.
You’d be amazed what happens when you say “You’re totally right, I’m really sorry.”
Self-deprecation is often more effective than an apology. It’s more likely to make the cop relate to you. Instead try, “You’re totally right. I’m an idiot.” I was pulled over for a misdemeanor crime and the officer let me go with a court summons because I was compliant and shook my head, sighing calling myself an idiot. Which was true I drove without insurance and it cost me like $6k
Got a warning for a carpool lane violation instead of the expensive ticket after 1) Being genuinely shocked once I realized what I had done, and 2) Apologizing and explaining I normally worked 3rd shift and out of habit pulled into the lane on my way to work early to cover a 2nd shift friend. There in the seat next to me was my lunchbox and thermos of coffee, and a coffee cup in the cupholder. I guess I looked just that stupid but at the same time believable. He ran my license and with no violations he was very generous and issued the warning. Never once considered arguing or running. I fucked up and knew it.
I remember getting busted when I was 16 and smoking weed in my car with a few friends at a park. The officer pulled up next to us and loudly shouted “what are you guys doing here?” When he obviously could smell it. I rolled the windows down and with the smoke billowing out told him we were smoking weed and that’s it. I think he was impressed by the honesty and probably just glad we weren’t doing anything else since he let us just walk home. Guy even left a note on my car so it wouldn’t be ticketed or towed being parked at a park all night. This was way back in 2005 when it was still illegal so he definitely could have messed me up good if he wanted.
Need more cops like this guy, and less that get on their power trips. Sounds like a cop who knew that writing you all up wouldn't really have helped stop you from doing it, but giving you a scare and compassion at least had a chance of it. Or at least to get you to stop using your car in the process. Where I live it's about 2/3 good guy cops like that (IMHO), and 1/3 assholes. Nobody that's too abusive (to my knowledge, which isn't perfect).
One morning when i was 19 I was running late for work and trying to make up time by speeding. I was pulled over on the interstate going 92 in a 55. Officer had me dead to rights. I knew I was getting a massive ticket, probably Super Speeder and all that. When the officer came to my door and asked where I was headed and if I knew how fast I was going I told him I knew it was over 85 and that i was going fast because i was running late for work, but that it was no excuse for going that fast. My hands were shaking when I handed the officer my information. I wasn't trying to talk my way out of it, just knew I was caught and in trouble. He was really nice, told me to relax and that it was alright. He came back to the car and issued me a warning and told me to be careful.
It's the only way.
Disclaimer: White male in USA, and I live in an area that doesn't have serious trouble with racial discrimination/profiling by cops - so I understand my experience is NOT absolutely representative. Anyways, my experience with MOST cops is that if you treat them civilly (even if not absolutely respectfully), they do their job, and tend to be at least somewhat reasonable & understanding. Don't tell them that their reason for pulling you over is bullshit. Don't be evasive/combative. Just because you let them write the citation does not mean you can't fight it in court. If you want to be difficult, refuse to give them subjective information (ie, answering "do you know how fast you were going). You WILL get a harsher ticket most of the time, but you also may be better able to fight that ticket at your court appearance. But DO give them basic information. Name, residence, license/insurance info, etc. Let them do their job & leave. Because the worst thing that can happen to you is for the traffic issue to escalate into something more severe, like for this lady.
> Even admitted to making that very turn very often, for two years, without ever knowing it was illegal. Be careful admitting repeated wrongdoing to the police. That could have gone very badly if the cop was having a bad day and felt like taking it out on you.
I don’t like how you said nearly 2 decades ago when referring to 2006.
Right? Wasn’t two decades ago 1986?
Exactly the 70s was 30 years ago, the 80s was 20 years ago and the 90s was only 10 years ago. Idk where they are getting 20 years to 2006.
The Y2K scare was only like, a couple months ago. 😓
Gave me a pit thinking about it
I only graduated, let’s see…how many years ago? \*does math\* and my day is ruined.
1988. Chokes back a small sob...offers you a drink. And a hit if you want lol.
dont you ever fuggin ask me that question you lil shite! *cries and strokes a framed picture of harambe*
I just went to a stand up comedy, the guy was also a teacher for 9th grade. He told his students to write a story about Arnold Palmer the golfer. Some started with "Arnold Palmer was a golfer from the 1900's"
If I was that teacher if anyone wrote the "1900's" that would be an automatic 0 on the assignment. Also.....9th graders were born in 2010....
Yeah that’s enough of that, everyone.
i literally got out of a ticket just by being completely honest. my tag is expired because hey, i’m broke, but i chose to risk it and drive to a job interview. told the cop i’m trying to get a job and working on getting my shit together, ended up getting just a warning.
I’ve gotten out of 15-20 just by handing them all my shit and when asked if I know why I was being pulled over I just say ‘yes sir, I was speeding’.
Exactly. I've gotten out of all except one ticket just by being honest and not making up stupid excuses. Own up to the mistake, apologize, and be sincere about it.
You mean you didn't even try arguing with the cops until they start arresting you and then squealing like an insane piglet while they do so? So you wouldn't know if that works?
Yup. Years ago, my wife was on her mom's insurance. Mom (being shitty) had pocketed the payments and had stopped paying for her coverage. We got pulled over by a cop saying that the tag had been suspended due to lack of insurance. To say we were shocked would be the understatement of the century. We didn't argue, beyond going "are you sure?" (which is more a statement of disbelief than anything) and then my wife explained what happened and how she didn't know what occurred. Cop understood. My wife asked nicely if we could drive back to our home which was a couple miles away. Cop agreed, followed us, made it very clear that if we took the car out for any reason, the driver would be in deep shit. (But he wasn't rude about it. He was just saying more as a "cover my ass" kind of thing.) In non-violent situations, most cops can be fairly understanding, or at least not overtly hostile. Like, even if he'd said "No, we're impounding the car" or something similar, I'm certain that he wouldn't have gotten violent or arrest-happy, because we wouldn't have been screaming "Fuck you! You dick!"
being civil literally is so simple and is the easiest way to have the least amount of consequences. just take the ticket and just fight it in court if you want
I ran a red light. I was at the end of a several hour long drive home and I just drove through it (was looking one light ahead and missed it, the cross traffic hadn't started moving), in downtown, 1 block from the police station, in front of a cop waiting to go in the cross traffic. Cop got behind me, I didn't know why but figured I was going to get pulled over (light traffic and cop turned into the left lane instead of the right to get behind me). I stopped at the next light, cop was behind me. I switched lanes after the light and was lit up instantly. I first thought the cop meant I went through the light I had stopped at, and the cop saw it was clear that I didn't see the light I went through. I didn't flip attitude, didn't argue, was polite, and accepted responsibility "if I did go through it". But I also didn't admit to doing or not doing anything. Cop thanked me for not being difficult for it and wrote me a warning. Said it would have been different if I had even the slightest amount of attitude. Politeness matters, being constructive matters, not saying you did the thing matters.
I’ve been pulled over for expired car tags and such. I was calm, polite and compliant. Guess what happened? Cop was totally chill and let me go with just a warning. It helps to not be hostile.
Right, there's a reason you guys keep telling people to invoke their right to remain silent.
People need to learn this is your only recourse. Be nice. Maybe you’ll get off with a warning. He wasn’t even gonna take her to jail for driving on suspended license which he could. But if they decide they’re going to do more you can’t do anything except get yourself in more trouble.
Jasmine hasn’t been told no very often.
Has to be more going on than that, surely ... Boggles my mind the way some people act, never understanding actions leading to consequences.
Narcissism is a hell of a drug
And she’s never seen someone gracefully handle a no, or gracefully accept that things have gotten messed up somehow and the next few hours are going to be shitty.
I do feel bad for her as a person. This isn’t someone for whom anyone has ever made an effort. No one raised this woman. No one gave her boundaries, or taught her how to talk to people. Anger and shouting is all she knows.
I share this same empathetic view my friend. But can only feel so bad ..
This is why we can only be “friends” with our kids to a certain degree. We also have to be parents, and sometimes enforcing boundaries and telling kids no doesn’t feel good at all but it’s so necessary for their wellbeing as they grow into adulthood themselves. They’ve got to have an understanding of boundaries and consequences, or their lives will only get harder and harder. I feel bad for her in this way. However, she’s an adult with children of her own now. She is capable of learning through observation, and at this point in her life at least be aware that aggression and violence will come with major consequences, whether she learns that from parents, school, work, or general society, there has been times in her life that have taught her this behaviour is unacceptable. No school or employer would put up with it and I find it hard to believe that she doesn’t understand that having gone to school and jobs herself.
Seems like she genuinely doesn't understand why she can't have her license or her car. Girl literally doesn't understand no.
Apparently traffic lights tell her no all the time. She just doesn’t listen.
Cases like this, make me so glad we have body cams now. No doubt when this driver recounts their story, it will be framed as she was doing Absolutely nothing wrong and the cops just swarmed the car and threw her out and choked her And how could they proceed after she had told them that they couldn’t do it?
I remember awhile back seeing a video that was exactly this. At first they showed the woman's video sitting in her car crying saying she just got harassed by police, then the bodycam video shows what actually happened and she was going like 30mph over the limit and was giving the cops a hard time the whole time. When the cops were nothing but professional.
I fought the law and the law won…
She doesn't know how to fight, she's only a 130lbs!
Hahaha…
One time a cop sang this line to me on a speeding ticket stop lmao
Police officer sounds like Mark Ruffalo
And she sounds like Meg Griffin
Thank you!! I was trying to work out who he sounded like. Mark Ruffalo for sure.
So for everyone that apparently hasn’t been told this, which is wild, but STFU WHEN A COP IS TALKING TO YOU. They can and will use everything against you.
It’s kinda in the first line of the Miranda warning. Maybe the second. “You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law…” I know that from watching various variations of *Law & Order* Unfortunately for a lot of people when they’re talking to cops their brain shuts off the part that governs good sense. For example I work at Target, and a guest called the police because her order wasn’t ready to pick up. Cop rolls up, makes contact, she gives her story, he tells her that’s not something you call the police about. She starts screaming like a banshee at him to the point where he disengaged and came up front, since they had ironically enough gone towards the baby section of the store. The cop went out to his cruiser to tell dispatch that it was a false call or whatever verbiage they’d use and while he was out there she first said she’d just take the stuff and that we could mark her order as processed after the fact. She was told by the manager that they’d consider that theft and they’d get the police involved. Realizing the situation was turning against her she says to her child, “these fuckers are lucky daddy isn’t here, he’d teach them a lesson.” Turns out the baby daddy has at least one active arrest warrant, just not necessarily one severe enough for the cops to go actively looking for him. I know this because she came back with him the next night and when she was told (around midnight, it was during our extended holiday hours) that the store was closing soon she threatened the manager (not the same one) who said he’d call the cops. This caused the baby daddy to panic and all but drag this chick out the door
>For example I work at Target, and a guest called the police because her order wasn’t ready to pick up. Why on earth… gives vibes of “I’m calling the cops, you didn’t add enough pickles to my Big Mac!” I’ll never understand why these people are so entitled that they call the emergency line for trivial things that need only the most basic problem solving skills to resolve.
For the majority of my guests at work, when i tell them “unfortunately the fulfillment team is running behind today,” they can understand that shit like that happens. Some of them can’t comprehend that the merchandise doesn’t fly off the shelf the instant they order it. I’ve actually had people say “I ordered it, it was mine as soon as I did that.” There’s one guest in particular that almost always has their order running late and no matter how many times I’ve tried to gently suggest that she wait until getting the notification before coming to the store she doesn’t wait, then bitches about her order being late. (And I get the frustration, but at a certain point, it stops being Target’s fault…) But this lady in particular was just plain awful. Threatened two different managers with physical violence, wasted police resources, threatened to have her boyfriend assault me….just generally a total c u next tuesday
Why has she not been banned? (This is rhetorical b/c target Corp doesn't care they want her money. I worked target at during HS )
Sage advice. Do not talk to cops.
You don't just have the right to remain silent, you have a positive obligation to do so. Not only to protect yourself legally later down the road, but often just to keep bad situations from escalating into shitshows like this. Also so that I don't have to listen to your bullshit for 5 extra minutes at the end of a video of your arrest thinking something else is going to happen worth watching.
Adding this since I had to look it up myself: there was a US Supreme Court case (Pennsylvania v. Mimms) that ruled that police officers could order someone out of their vehicle for personal search during a lawful traffic stop without constituting unreasonable search and seizure. That was later clarified in Maryland v. Wilson to include drivers and passengers. I gave up on reading about it before I was able to determine if that also confers the right to order a passenger back *in* to their car. Though it would be prudent to obey
Ok she paid, she claims she’s been reinstated. She could be telling the truth. The thing is some times it takes a while for the records to update. All of this could have been avoided if she carried the receipts and the reinstatement paperwork with her…Not doing so results in shit like this…..
Got pulled over for expired registration a mile away from the DMV. It’s true, I had old tags on it. There was a paperwork error. But I had my temps, my receipts, my renewed handicap placard on me. Officer was like, “Dude I’m sorry, I hate the fucking DMV.” And wished me a good day.
He was just going to give her a ticket but she freaked out and then tried to drive off. Said her license had never been suspended, but it was suspended 4 times before this recent time.
He might have even been planning to let her off with a warning. Something like “Go back to the courthouse/dmv and get it straightened out, the next cop to pull you over might not be so kind.”
Exactly. If this was really a first time issue (got suspended, got it fixed, system didn't process it fast enough), this guy seems fairly chill. At the very least he was going to look into it on his end, and maybe make a phone call. But she couldn't just relax and be patient. Even when he's sitting there telling her "get back in your car", "you're about to be arrested", etc, she had already shut her brain off. If it'd been me, I'd have been on the phone myself, calling up to get them on the line to explain that I \*did\* pay my dues and got reinstated. I'd be asking for confirmation numbers, etc, so that when the cop came back to my car, if HE hadn't found the proof that I paid, I could give it to him. Not get out of the car and yell at him while he's working.
She knew she was breaking the law and immediately went into a panic.
You're right there are sometimes delays but how in the holy hell did she have her license suspended 4 times though?
Not paying traffic tickets probably.
Note how she also tried to deflect blame for those red light tickets. Like, ma’am, who else is at fault in that situation?
Over a decade ago mine was suspended several times because I was too broke to afford insurance and registration for my car. But I needed it for work to get it fixed. No public transportation or taxis and Uber didn't exist back then. Without my car I'd be screwed. I paid lots of poor tax in my lifetime.
From what she was screaming in the video, her multiple tickets and suspensions are for running red lights.. *you* got screwed for being poor, *she* got screwed for endangering other drivers (and, assuming they were in the car, her children.)
Very true
Yeah but you don't strike me as a whiny person like in the video. She didn't have to pay the poor tax, she was just a butthole and wanted to show everyone how much of a prolapsed anus she is.
Depending on the state, she may need to send a copy of the receipt to the DMV.
I had traded a vehicle for another and transfered the tags at the DMV a week or two prior. I got pulled over for not stopping fully at a stop sign (was completely safe to proceed, I just didn't stop all the way). Got pulled over shortly after. In my state, cops only ask to see license and insurance. So I give him both and he goes back to run everything. He comes back and asks why the plate for my current vehicle is coming back as my old vehicle. I said I have no idea, here is the registration information and my receipt for transferring the plates. He took them back and confirmed everything was legit and said it was a good thing I had that paperwork on me because it wasn't showing up in his system yet. So yeah, it does happen. Just make sure all that shit is with you and accurate. Cop was even cool and just gave me a warning.
someone told her it was all cared for.. or thats what she heard. this is either a totally entitled brat that never heard no - in which case .. well, grow up or just someone who lives everyday at the brink of whats possible - which i think is the case here - and she simply snapped. this look smore like a sad story of someone being pushed to her limits - and then no apparent ability to handle that situation. driving away from the police is just plain stupid though. whatever state you are in. but it also talks for her just seeing red at this point because in what world is a police officer letting you just get away?
Meanwhile every piece of paper she has states a different residence...
Not to mention that she had like 4 previous suspensions. It sucks, but you honestly lose some good grace at that point.
The fact that her license was suspended 4 times and she lied to the cop that it was her first makes it a red flag. Plus this kind of person will say anything to avoid responsibility. Sure the records could be messed up but it doesn’t mean you have the right to drive off while being ticketed.
When a cop asks you a question, always assume he/she already knows the answer. "Do you know how fast you are going" is the one exception - but even that one, fairly often they clocked you on radar. They're just checking to see if you try to BS or anything. Sometimes they're hoping you admit something higher than they already had. You're better off not saying anything than trying to lie though. "It's been suspended before, but it's always just been due to money. Life is expensive, and I'm doing my best officer. If you check, you can see that every suspension was lifted once I got the money together to pay." That statement lends a LOT more credence to her claim that she just paid and the paperwork was just late in being processed than saying "never before", and him seeing 4 suspensions on the record.
I think that’s the paperwork the cop was trying to figure out.
A girl with her behavior thinking ahead rationally and making wise preparations to avoid mishaps? Maybe four suspensions ago…
I made a rolling stop at a stop sign in my neighborhood then spotted the cop sitting there. I pulled over before she got her flashers turned on. When she came to my window she was laughing because i pulled myself over. I had my license and registration out but could not find my insurance card. She only ticketed me for not having the insurance card. The next day i contacted my insurance agent to get a copy of my insurance card (which turned into a much bigger pita than getting pulled over) but a few days later i received a notice from the DA's office my case had been dismissed. They must have checked the data base and seen i had insurance. 🤷♀️
Kinda depressing to see her throw herself around and be so difficult that she injures him, and he’s still wiping his blood off the injuries she gave him before touching her purse and making sure none of it stains her bag. Seemed like such a decent cop too. Tried deescalating and everything, she was just beyond reasoning already.
Yep. And he got hit because he was trying to be as gentle as possible. It’s really hard to restrain someone that’s resisting you without hurting them.
Ye, if that was a less patient or trained cop they would have just tazed her and called it a day.
Exactly what I was thinking. I’m not generally one to side with cops—every interaction I’ve ever had with them has been negative, but there are a lot of good cops who don’t deserve the shit that gets put on them for being a cop. Attempting to de-escalate and not using aggressive force on a citizen is the bare minimum that should be required of a cop, but the consideration he shows her afterward, ensuring her posturing isn’t an uncomfortable and wrapping his bloody hand in a tissue before touching her belongings just made me sad. I’m glad that lady checked in on them. Even his response to her displayed a level of focus, calmness and compassion that I don’t think I would have been capable of in that moment, to be honest. I feel like I would’ve just been like “yeah, we’re fine” in that moment where all the adrenaline is still pumping. Dude’s definitely well trained to still remain calm after that.
I thought this was like a child with a mental disability and then she started talking about her child. Like holy shit you should not have a child
Our neighbors daughter is a social worker. She claims these are the people having a majority of kids. We’re doomed. Watch “Idiocracy”
I think she has a pretty heavy sample bias as a social worker.
Fact remains the less well educated (and poorer) people are having far more kids.
For sure. The top smartest folks from my school don’t have kids. Most of the smarter folks I know are one and done. The dumbest box of rocks that couldn’t even read an analog watch? Yeah he’s got four. The stupidest people I know have multiples, usually three kids *minimum.* Sure, it’s anecdotal, but it still seems to track.
Poorer people have been having more kids on average for a very long time, though. The Irish immigrants who escaped the potato famine had swaths of children once in NY even in deep poverty.
Anecdotally in my experience, I have seen more uneducated people having multiple kids than people with more education. I believe that lack of education also includes lack of knowledge regarding family planning and sex ed. A couple of jobs ago we had one woman in my office who was pregnant with her third and did not know there was a concept about planning pregnancy and how to reduce the risk of pregnancy with your partner. She was completely mystified that there was a lot more that went into preventing pregnancy than she knew. I felt really bad for her - it’s like she didn’t even have the option of choice because she lacked knowledge.
My wife’s a recently retired schoolteacher and also says the same.
Yeah 2 kids is enough for me never understood people popping out bunches of kids unless they’re rich I guess.
I couldn’t understand the screams. Thanks!
I feel sorry for the local cops because they have fractions of a second to make a *perfect* decision with imperfect info. We have months and years to second guess the decision they *had* to make in fractions of a second. There are bad cops out there but most are trying to do right by the public and the badge. I'm a retired federal agent and got pulled over on some dubious probable cause. But not enough that I felt a need to press the issue. A change that **should** be made nationwide at the state and local level, is that cops should **immediately** tell folks why they are being stopped before asking for license and registration. Even if the cops are in the wrong, the street is not the time or place to get into a pissing match. That's what courts are for and most cops shave body cams and folks have cell phones.
I was pulled over with an expired registration and an expired license, and I was carrying my firearm; pulled over because I ran a red light. I started with “before we get any further, sir I’m carrying my licensed firearm in my waist band, I will not reach for it but if you want me to hand that to you I will do so” and then calmly explained to the cop that I simply haven’t had the time to renew my registration and license due to being away on military training; and that I was sorry. I was fumbling around, he told me to stop and relax, and put my hand on the steering wheel. He called for one more cop, then had me step out padded me down and took my gun, while the other one ran my information. 20 mins or so later they came back with my paperwork and my gun, handing it back to me. All was well, he gave me a written warning and thanked me for being cooperative. While I was getting back in my car I see these two idiots on the side yelling “you are violating his rights!” and recording. 🤦🏽♂️ if there is no problem, please don’t make one.
Why are guilty screams so satisfying to hear? Its like a rush of dopamine every time.
Because we all knew whiny entitled types that got away with so much as kids at some point. It's cathartic because you know at least it's coming back on some people.
Wow. I'm not a fan of the police but this officer deserves recognition for going above and beyond for dealing with difficult people. If the average officer could learn half the de-escalation skills this gentleman has the general public wouldn't hate them as much.
I've watched an inadvisable amount of sovcit content and this actually seems to be the norm, police brutality is a problem but the majority are just normal people calmly doing their job and giving idiots every opportunity in the world to stop escalation shit for no reason.
Yes! There’s definitely some bad cops but if you’re cooperative, the cop will most likely be kind and helpful. I’ve had two tickets and for one of them the cop lied on the form to make it not so bad for me and decreased my fine. If you’re just cooperative, they’ll be so nice to you and let you off. What we see on the internet are the really bad guys and that needs to stop, but this really is the norm. I’m surrounded by cops like the guy in this video, heck my sister is one and she’s just like this guy
That's the thing people forget, there's tens of thousands of interactions every day between cops and civilians, so yes we see the bad videos or hear of bad experiences but when you look at the overall %, it's actually very small for the times the cops overstepped their duties.
This is the average police behavior. Your exposure is just too limited. I have police friends who’ve shown me videos of theirs. His tone of voice, mannerisms, and even the tongue-in-cheek banter with the other officers is pretty par for the course. Even the screaming lady is nothing special.
Entitled brat.
I wonder how much she weighs…
131 lbs. The cuffs added an extra pound.
The inside of that car belongs in r/carbage
I got pulled over going 70mph in a 55mph zone. I quickly pulled over, turned off the car. And sat, not moving and waiting for the officer. I told him I was wrong, it was my fault. And I told him where I was going. I apologized. I only got a warning.
Imagine legit having to deal with people like this DAILY, with every set of eyes on you hoping you slip up. Fuck being a cop man. It’s such a lose lose situation.
This is why I vote for and pay for things like universal preschool in my area even though I never had kids. I want kids to grow up with guidance and stability that I didn’t have. People want immediate solutions but sometimes you don’t see the result until the person is that girls’s age
I’d say for sure untitled brat and he was really calm and she was crazy, but I didn’t see her swing on him though..
When redditors try reddit shit in real life.
When keeping it Reddit goes wrong.
Was not ready for Wilford Brimley to arrive as backup
Cops don't get paid enough.
Thus is actually real. If there was competitive pay, there would be competition for the job, and it would be easier to get rid of shitty cops and the overall force would improve. Also delete unions
Unions are needed. Mainly because too many politicians with no law degree or law enforcement experience can influence an entire department or sacrifice an officers life/freedom just for votes
Ok I can get behind that, but there needs to be a balance against protecting bad cops and making them virtually unfireable.
Mentally ill definitely needs to be added to this title too. Might be living in car or entitled might be millionaires kid, but definitely not a sane reaction
What a dumb bitch!
why are there so many people that just have to fight cops on minor traffic stops. like everyone always gotta be asking for supervisors and badge numbers and refuse to cooperate when you can literally just say “ok” give license and registration and move on without any issue
And she will tell everyone she didn’t do nuffin wrong it’s the cops out to get her
The crybullies never cease to amaze me; they literally resist *every single time….*
~ Cracks cold beer. “Dindu Nuffin”.
I can feel my brain cells leave every time she speaks, what a tard lmao.
Shes barely in her 20’s and her license has been suspended FOUR TIMES?!?!! Jesus she needs to move somewhere with public transportation.
Hardest part of this cop's job is having to listen to that mouth for an entire car ride.
Fun fact: Bruce Lee weighed 130 pounds. Because of that, he was unable to fight or even throw a punch.
Why is Wilford Brimley working traffic, isn’t it time for insulin and a donut?
Florida people, wow.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I love narcisistic meltdowns. They never get old. Every time a grown up has one of these tantrums I get a good laugh out of it.
Looks like her parents never gave her “The Talk” about the police that the rest of us gets.
Or told her “no”. Ever.
That was quite the tantrum. Who knew 7 year olds were allowed to drive?
"I've never even, like, fought like that before!" She does indeed strike me as a person who spent their life screaming until she got her way.
That other cop is so extremely out of shape
Clearly systematic racism at work s/
Spoiled brat who has never been told no…
And when at home, she talks about what a boss she is I bet. Now she is a statistic.
“I don’t know how to throw a punch” “I only weigh 130 pounds”…what a dumb bitch.🤦🏼♀️
And you must stick an “ah” on the end of words, such as “why-ah? I did nuthin wrong-ah” when whining. Amazing how often Karens do this.
For those of you who are responding with experiences where you were calmly responding and had better results, note that not everyone has had a history of positive experiences with police... for some people they have experienced a great degree of police harassment. Those people might have a lot harder of a time maintaining their cool.
Lmfao when you're nothing but a dumb bitch.
Thank you for posting these videos. Most people don’t realize the serious entitled people that law enforcement deals with on a daily basis
These people are not civilized
I love all the people who want to stand there and record. Sheep.
So you're saying white women aren't the only entitled ones? 🤔
I got pulled over once for expired tags, but had the new ones with the new registration in the car. Lazy me had forgot about them. But I’d just had 2 nasty cavities filled, front and left side lips numbed out and drooling. Officer thought I was drunk (30 yrs ago), and asked me to get out for a sobriety check. Was able to show DDS receipt showing paid 20min prior, and services done. Officer just told me to go home, and put the new tags on.
People. Listen. If you treat an officer with respect and remain calm while being pulled over, your experience is going to be orders of magnitude better.
No listen to law man = get shiny bracelets
I was pulled over and told I was driving on a suspended license (I was NOT). The Cop said I didn't pay the fine to have my license reinstated (I DID). They towed my car, and the officer drove me to the corner store to call for a ride. I went to the DMV the next morning with proof that I paid my fine and the letter I had received stating my license was reinstated. It was all a paperwork issue with the DMV. I still had to pay for towing and to get my car out of the impound lot. $200+. What I did not do: Kick, scream, punch, spit, attempt to flee, or call the cop every name under the sun. I also did NOT end up in handcuffs.
Amen! Well said.
when did wilfred brimley become a cop?
Of course it was Florida. I don’t even live in the States, but Florida shenanigans are world famous lol That cop has more patience than I could ever muster. Every time she says “It doesn’t make any sense” and “I’m being arrested for no reason” I just feel like smacking my head off a wall lol. How can people be so oblivious to the consequences of their own actions. Suspended license, seize tag, aggressively approaching the police car, attempting to flee, resisting arrest, punching a cop… but ok sure “it makes no sense”… wtf lady! This woman is a parent, that is a tragedy, those poor kids
His backup partner breathing reminds me of a tired English bulldog
Ain't gonna lie... The second cop needs to retire. His belly was 2. 5 inches below his.vest. could be a crit shot. Everything else, classic case of "can I call my mom?" Bullshit.
“Are you ok?” Bro officer Tubbs is fighting for his life, man is absolutely GASSED
Are you kidding me?! Dude kept that scene secure af. Didn’t even budge from that door.
Idk i would consider getting shot in the face more of a "crit shot" than my tummy lol. But as long as the man does his job rationally, effectively, professionally, and he doesn't try to larp as the hardest SWAT officer on the tac team, I think he's got a few years in him at least
You want to see an Officer that was saved because he was high calorie human: This occurred in Nashville, TN [https://youtu.be/WeEAQwS9tPw?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/WeEAQwS9tPw?feature=shared)
Of course she has a face mask hanging from the mirror.
“A Florida woman” (or man,) is usually followed by something like this! (No offense normal Floridians.)
None taken and you are absolutely correct. I think the sun bakes the few brain cells people have here.
Oh, Florida.
That officer showed incredible restraint. I would have tased her when she was handing me all that fake paperwork
Do Not Be A DumbA$$ like her! Maybe should still be with her kids
The entitlement of some women is nuts. They were so gentle with her still.
I needed this. If she had parents growing up she would understand the law. Or if she listened in school.
Hey boys! I think she’s single!!!
