That happened in my city, the officer was given a commendation for his excellent service to the city.
I had just been arrested by the same cop about a month prior to this video. He stopped me because my tail lights weren't working. When he walked up
to my window I asked him what the problem was, he said my tail lights were out. Have been pulled over 6 months prior for the same thing, and upon
getting out of jail finding out my lights were infact working. I asked him to press the brakes and let me see if my lights were working.
He looked at me quite shocked and asked if I was serious. I said I sure was, that I had been through this before and my tail lights worked but I
didn't find out till after I got out of jail, and if my lights worked he was calling his sargent down here to explain to him, and me why he pulled me
over. He complied and sure enough my lights weren't working. I showed him the problem, a short in the wires, and when I went over the railroad tracks
it must of shook them up. A quick wiggle fixed the problem.
He was pretty courteous that day. Although theres no excuse for his behavior in the video.
The main reason I mention this story, is my friends are like

you did what?!?! Like its some alien concept to question a police officer. Like when I
was pulled over for riding a SCOOTER. The cop said I needed a license, I said no I didn't, and a back and forth of "nu uh" "yeah huh" took place.
My friend who was riding with me was like "dont argue with him man". I was like F*** THAT. He said there was a statute, I asked him to show it to
me. He did. LOL. I got a ticket.
Ask people, especially people under 25. They honestly don't seem to know that if a cop asks to search your car you can say no.
This is a great website,
