NSFW VIDEO: How NOT to get out of a speeding ticket
Most of us have gotten speeding tickets before, and it's usually not a pleasant experience. It's "Yes sir" and "No, sir" and "Thank you" while the officer is chastising us for whatever minor infraction we've incurred. All the while, you're thinking to yourself, "I was doing 8 mph over the speed limit. Shouldn't he be out chasing terrorists or something?"
So this video is for all of us who would have so very much enjoyed telling off the guy or gal about to make us pay potentially hundreds of dollars in fines and insurance costs just because we were in a little bit of a hurry to get to the house/work/that big sale at Autozone/etc. We held our tongues, took our punishment and probably avoided higher fines or, worse, jail time.
How the alleged offender in this video manages to keep his freedom is a complete mystery. That is one patient cop, and I hope he got a raise for putting up with this driver's degrading diatribe. The man's choice of adjectives earns it a NSFW, btw.

I've seen this on TV before, but it was a shorter edited version. Wow, I'm surprised how the state trooper took it. He would NEVER get away with that today.

Good lord, this thing was filmed in I think 1992, as you can see from the legend on the screen, and I've been seeing it on every "Cops" and "Spike TV" best-videos show I watch on the treadmill at the gym for the last 10 years.
Don't you people go to the gym? You need to get out more if you think the entire country hasn't seen this video 10 times per citizen.
so much for cultural awareness...

LOL, well that was basically what I was about to say (just nicer). This has been around for the better part of 2 decades.

some of us have our own, and thus better, entertainment for the gym.
And while I would agree that cop shows are a part of our culture, it is neither mandatory nor favorable since it's pretty much a look at the dregs of our society.
Personally, I've never seen a non-censored version of this, so this is great, because you can't hear anything over the bleeping on tv.

LOL the best part was the officer making him pick the papers up. That's one smart officer.

If the driver wasn't white, the cop wouldn't have been lenient. I've seen minorities get busted for less.

i feel for you, Tragedy. i got pulled over TWICE for doing ONE thing. i got surrounded by 3 cops...the first cop let me go, then before i could leave the other cop flashed his lights and gave me a ticket. the second cop came to my window and the first thing he asked me was, "Is this your car?"
This was all for not seeing the knocked down "no u-turn" and making an illegal u-turn. Next time i get pulled over i'll just be like this guy 'cause I already know im getting a ticket, no matter how many cops itsgonna take to do it!
why not the LS2/LS7? 9:34PM (4/03/2008)
Do you know how fast you were going?
65?
63.
But isn't the speed limit 65?
Yes it is. But do you know why we're pulling you over? Littering...

Tragedy: If the officer wasn't white, the guy would have gone to jail. I've seen minority cops bust people for a lot less than that.
Oh, I bet that doesn't fit your stereotype - you racist, bigot.

"Racist" and "bigot" are redundant when put together in the same sentence.
stealth 11:35PM (4/03/2008)
your redundant

Actually racist is much more specific. A bigot might just hate Catholics or Democrats. It's not improper to say a "racist bigot" but it's not strictly necessary.

The first step in getting past all the racism that has plagued this country for so long is looking past idiotic comments made by people like you Trajedy. If you have a problem with racism, don't bring up comments like yours where no previous racism issue existed. There was no basis for racial comments in this situation but there are always people who pull that kind of crap out the air. If you have an issue with racism, be part of the solution, not the problem.

I dont even know why you guys are giving tragedy a hard time. Once this cop pulled a gun on my ass when I was trying to get my license, then he searched my car because "it was too nice for a person like me" to be driving. I didn't give a shit, I left with a warning. Being polite worked, but that kind of profiling was disgusting,
k.w.a 2:48AM (4/04/2008)
m3driver,
thats basically what happened to me. no gun though, that's just crazy! apparently it was too much for a cop to fathom a young black man driving a nice car... especially with the University of Michigan sticker on the back window.
Some people on here don't understand why people like us bring up racism all the time, but what do they expect when it's rubbed in our faces literally every day? it's funny how people who aren't victims of racism think THEY'RE tired of hearing about racism.
But anyway, regardless of race, this cop should've laid a smackdown on the guy
k.w.a 2:53AM (4/04/2008)
oh and "not you",
it would be ok for a white cop to ticket a minority because a minority cop is ticketing a white guy? great idea! let's fight racism with racism! idiot.
(just so you know, minority cops ticket everybody, even other minorities-- learned that from personal experience)

Yes ... tragedy is correct, sadly. I have seen charges fabricated out of thin air. I have seen white cops TRY and throw made up charges on me and my fellow minorities. Numerous times. Some of us get lucky, others don't... Some cops don't know how to handle their power, and since they are afraid of minorities, they abuse that power. It has happened to my friends and I on numerous occasions. You can see/hear/feel the fear in these "tough cops". Getting loud and offensive simply because my skin is darker, it is really pathetic. 9 times out of 10 we outsmart them with words and continue on... If I were to get any kind of physical or even LOUD with a cop, where I am from; I would be finished......... I cant wait until I have the money to scream/curse at cops and rip tickets out of their hands.
