We don't all feel this way, but in general I deeply respect police officers, and fear them (I'm Australian). There are always assholes in the mix though, and as a white woman the police officers that are most likely to harass me unnecessarily are other white women.
Chelsea Woods If you have to fear the police, then they are doing something wrong. they are the ones out there protecting and serving us. If they use fear, then they should no longer be police officers. Yes, there are asshole officers, and those need to be dealt with accordingly. There is no reason for them to be asses to other people.
This would be awesome. I've seen people racing, not using their turn signals to cut me and even flicking me off for no damm reason after they cut me with out using turn signals, imagine their look on their face after I turn my cop lights on and my little siren. Lol
I cant believe how good the guys vision is. Love how he says "You ARE going to pull over and we ARE going to talk about you bein on the phone' Aussie cops say what they mean and mean what they say - respect.

Can you imagine how many tickets you would be handing out a day, heck even every hour everyday??? You would be making your police department shit load of money.
***** Over 90% of the time, texts and calls you receive is not EMERGENCY. It is mostly useless for which you can pull over and do your business on your phone and then go. The worst thing that you can do is link your phone to your car. What will you do when your car breaks down and no power middle of nowhere? You say penalties are low. It depends on location. Go to a metropolitan area or city. You will mostly see people talking or texting on their phone while driving. Even though they banned it in the United States, people are still doing it not just civilians but also police officers. I wouldn't be so quick to say that simply linking your signal to your car will solve this problem. What will bring violators to halt is writing out EXPENSIVE tickets cost of which should equal the cost of their CELL PHONE. Do you run red light or stop signs all the time? I don't think so or you will be making your city rich every month by paying off your traffic tickets. 15 years ago, I had many traffic tickets and parking tickets and one day my car was towed away. Guess what, I had to pay over $2,000 to get my car back from them. Did that stop me from being jackass on the road? Of course it did. So, think about that.
thatdevilguy I don't get why people need to be on their phone EVERY Damn second of the day.. Even if you're driving for hours -> how about parking for 2 minutes, make your calls, answer your messages and get back on the road? People these days are so stupid
EerieBetrayal That would be expected and required for emergency personnel to use their wireless device while driving, but I am talking about civilians only.
I'm a rider my self you can see so much more once you start riding you can see dickheads using phones like they have a big red dot on top of there cars, head position give you away everytime
scitzen honda Those idiots on their phones is what got my cousin in the hospital and he was driving a car and a girl texting IN A FREAKIN TRUCK not a car a truck and smashed right into the side of the car...
scitzen honda True. I see much more shit on my bike then I do in my car. Us bikers only got the road to concentrate on. Car drivers are too busy texting, adjusting the AC, changing a song, screaming at kids, ect. Basically doing everything besides driving. Being a biker has made me a better car driver.
Mongoose 3 out of 4 motorcycles I encounter on the highway drive recklessly. It baffles me that I always hear motorcyclists (like you) speak as though people in automobiles are always the one's doing dumb shit.
Same here. I ride a couple of motorcycles and my one aim is to not get killed by lazy drivers. This is filmed in Perth, Western Australia. I live near one of the main access points to the Kwinana Freeway into the city and at peek hour I love seeing these guys pulling up next to cars, tapping on the window and saying, "we're going to pull over there for a chat".
riding a road bike daily, i see EVERY moron that is texting/ reading/ videocalling/ whatever-ing on their phone while driving. cant count the number of close calls ive had where jerks have never even seen me yet almost hit me. conservatively, in my experience 75% of the people on the road are doing it. laws prohibiting it basically are unenforceable. This motorcycle office is my hero!
Amen to this. The only thing that surprised me in this video is how few minivans were cited. When I’m on my bike, I have a rule of thumb... Assume ALL minivan drivers are distracted by something
@@billg7813 funny you say this, only two days ago when I was riding home from work a minivan pulled out of a side street in front of me. I nearly ended up in its thirds row of seats.
Even as a car driver, other car drivers using the phone while driving annoys the shit out of me. People are totally oblivious to their surroundings when they are on their phone. I saw a woman earlier today (With two kids in her car who weren't wearing seatbelts and were standing up in the back) who ran a red light then didn't notice the cars in front moving off from the next one a few metres down the road TWICE. And people still wonder why it's an offense to use a mobile phone while driving... Oh, and if you think you can manage it just fine, look up a man called Frank Wrathall. Flattened a cyclist driving his van on the road because he was talking to his girlfriend on the mobile phone, and he is a PROFESSIONAL racing driver. He raced cars for a living at a top national level (BTCC) and still couldn't do it without hitting someone and killing them. He's serving time for it now thankfully, though he only got 21 months for killing a married father of one. Whatever you are doing on your phone, it isn't as important as controlling a chunk of metal weighing between one and two tons on average, travelling at 30-80 mph (50-130 km/h). Wake up and put it down.
Almost had an accident on Monday with mum driving, the car in front was texting on her phone while driving. Stopped at the lights, she slowly started rolling back, so my mum beeped at her once, then again, then a third time. Still rolling back, my mum had to start rolling too so she didn't roll into us, and about ten seconds solid on the horn she still didn't realize until the traffic started moving again. NO FUCKING CLUE. Absolutely boils my piss. We'd just been talking about this very video about five minutes earlier.
This guy is brilliant, im a biker and we need more like him over here in britain, singlehandedly he could make enough in fines to clear the countrys debt.
@@djtaylormade1195how about you watch the light, boy. I'm not saying you should wait for the green like a drag racer, but i'm not saying you shouldn't, either
I'm a bus driver, i spend over 40 hours per week on the road and peoples just don't get the message. Each time i stop a light i look over my shoulder and i'm swear 50% of the time someone is playing with their phone. The most aggravating thing is when the light turn green and they don't move at all.
Wish we had these police motorcyclists in the UK catching these totally selfish and irresponsible drivers out. I am a motorcyclist and have lost count of number of times I have had near misses due to drivers driving without due care, too fast and attention.
Always said that it seems weird that they went through the bother of increasing the penalty for handheld phone use, while not seeming to increase enforcement. Mind you, I've rarely seen any police motorcycles* these days(!) and I don't see how exactly it's so hard to just put your phone in a cradle and get a Bluetooth headset at the very least... [* edit: I've seen a few of them recently, but still, they are a rare sight!]
Too cool! I really wish they did this where I live. They'd be busy though since every other car you drive by in Johnson County is operated by someone looking at their phone.
I ride a motorcycle and this is so satisfying to watch. I've nearly been killed on two occasions by people driving while using their phones. One blew a red light and nearly t-boned me at a junction, the other drifted across onto the wrong side of the road at high speed.
Fellow biker here. I've also twice nearly been run off the road by someone driving while on the phone. First time was a laden tipper truck, didnt even notice the roundabout he went straight across, let alone me going round it.

0:33 "You're gonna go over there, and we're gonna talk about using a mobile phone while you're driving, ok? You've been recorded to this point in time, phone up to mouth, talking away." Yes!
i wish they did this is the U.S. The age of cell phones has absolutely destroyed the safety of the roads and everyone around them. Just dont use your phone while driving, even at a stop light.
Should be aloowed at stoplight or under 10 mph (traffic) if people impede traffic there is a law for that or if people are moving fast on the phone then ok. This is revenue and punishing people who have no caused any issue. Oh yea, swurving on the phone, law there...wreckless driving. Serve and protect not fine and collect.
thankyou to this officer for doing his job, i'm so sick of irresponsible idiots using phones while driving. i've lost count the amount of times i hve nearly been killed by these clowns on mobile phones while driving.

Wrong country mate this is filmed in Australia and all emergency services are allowed to use a mobile maybe get the facts straight first before commenting
Goddamn I could watch this all freakin' day. Wish this guy had his own youtube channel I could sub to. To all you whining "derp derp it's illegal to be on your phone while your stopped at a red light?" YES you morons! From the time you are on public roads, you are "operating a motor vehicle". Unless you are safely pulled over or parked and not inducing traffic, you should NOT be on your phone at all. Both hands should be used for nothing else other than the operation of your vehicle (controls; steering wheel, turn signals, gear shift, etc). You shouldn't be on your phone updating your FB status, you shouldn't be putting on make up, you shouldn't be eating a cheeseburger. JUST FUCKING DRIVE. -sincerely, truck driver & motorcyclist.
+ApexIXMR Presumably, adjusting windows and talking on cb radio (presumably most truckers do that) are ok with your statement because hands are not on wheel temporarily.
Hands on the wheel, totally understand. I guess it's what you mean according to what you say. If not, i don't know what you got from what i commented. If I offend you, I apologize.
+GTA Gammer here's your logic in a different form me: "I'm hungry" you: "well there's starving children in other places" -Still doesn't take away from the fact that I am hungry. Your statement makes no sense.
At the very least these people are standing still while using their phone. Here in China people go full speed while using their phone. Absolutely mental. Just swerving around, and with all the jaywalkers, illegal u-turns, lane cutting, and blind merging it's a wonder there are still 1.3 billion Chinese.
+Ll Lock are you not familiar with China's infamous 1 child policy or am I missing something? reproducing like rabbits? I believe I heard from somewhere the policy was recently terminated but still... and I'm almost certain it was still in effect during the time this video was made? and don't try to tell me that policy isn't enforced...
Totally agree, simple but VERY effective, especially as it sounds like a twin dual sport sitting atop one of those you'd be able to see into pretty much domestic vehicle on the road introduce a couple of these unmarked bikes into a city centre and the word would soon spread and there's nowhere that these bikes can't go makes you wonder if other police forces are really serious about dealing with this.
I recognise Midland WA here, I saw them doing this alot as I used to drive around midland delivering. Always made me chuckle. It was my understanding that it was a trial, the undercover bikes were lighter off road types and had tiny little lights red and blue etc. As a motorcyclist I would imagine that doing that all day would be tiring and dangerous work for a police rider.
it would probably end with someone getting shot cause people argue forever with the cop and claim bunch of stupid rights they claim to have while breaking the law.
Need more of these guys driving around. One of my biggest hates is giving way to someone on a tight street, and not getting a thank you because they are too busy using a phone!!
This guy is legend, direct yet polite and catching drivers that do know better. how many drivers do you see swigging beer whilst behind the wheel, very rarely, why, because it's illegal and they know this, so what's the difference with a mobile phone, is the info there looking at so important that they can't wait till there parked. Good on yer mate. :)
We really need this here in NZ . The amount of drivers using cell phones in vehicle is huge. About time the Police used inconspicuous motorcycle officers. They'd catch dozens daily..
Stopped at a traffic light is driving. Plain and simple if you want to use your mobile, park your car at the side of the road. Now please just fuck off.
Velt "of most cars in Europe" yo what? Only the UK and Ireland drive on the left hand side and they are by far the minority in Europe. Mostly Brits and their former colonies do that, the rest of the world is driving on the right side.
We actually have something better here. They now have 2-3 officers looking out of buses catching people left and right on the phone. Started in Quebec and is now here in Toronto.
deitert07 how is this a police state this is an officer pulling people over for breaking the law, and it's not unreasonable at all. This isn't big brother this is an officer with a body cam or helmet cam in this specific case.
This is great. I wish the cops would do that here. When I'm out riding my motorcycle, I'm shocked by the amount of drivers I see on their phones. It worries me as I don't want to get hit by one of these idiots.
Since the change, I see less people using their phones, but still far too many. People will give the law change a while to see if it impacts before reverting back to previous behaviour. It would be interesting to see some stats relating to conditions since the law change if anybody has seen any?
Save the best 'till last. She was so busy talking she didn't even see the cop flashing his lights right up beside her window. "Sorry" is all well and good after you've been caught. Wish I'd heard more of the interviews afterwards.
The problem with people using their phone when stationary at the lights is they are so engrossed with their phone is they don't see the lights have changed. Lost count the number of times i've had to sound my horn to get them to take their eyes of their phone and move off.
Sure but it's not comparable with using it while actually moving. Kind of ridiculous that you get the same punishment for risking a slight inconvenience at a red light, as you do for putting everyone around you at risk while moving. Generally people reading their phones at red lights aren't dangerous. Should at least be a lesser punishment.
That, or they see the person next to them moving, and they're either a green arrow and they still have a red, or they don't look up to check to see if the person in front has moved, and they slam into the back.... The dangers with using your phone at the lights are real, and motorcyclists have been killed. Or they creep forward because they can't see they're moving.
PBMS123 To be fair you would have to be pretty stupid to do that! Of course there are rare cases where it ends up actually being dangerous but most of the time it's just an inconvenience.
Its not as rare as you think. Someone who uses their phone at the lights, knowing it's illegal will be more inclined to use it while driving as well, thinking they can do it safely. Most people who use their phone at the lights don't put it away when it's green, and they're most likel;y uising it while they approach the light. Just because you're at a red light doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying attention, the light changing to green is just one thing. You need to be aware of everything, like if you're creeping forward because you aren't on the brake hard enough, they dont see it, because they aren't paying attention. And the fact the last person couldn't see the cop beside them with his lights on for that amount of time until he knocked, shows how dangerously unaware they are. You need to be looking for dangers, like a truck not stopping for instance, an emergency vehicle coming up. This is not rare, and almost everyone i see on their phone at the lights starts moving on a green light while still on their phone, completely unaware of their surroundings. People who defend the use of it while driving, whether your moving or not don't realise that you need to pay attention all the time.
I hear ya, I'm just saying that a lot of people are perfectly capable of looking at their phone at a red light while being aware of their surroundings. Of course not everyone can, and that's why the laws are in place. I do it sometimes but only if I'm not moving and I still look up every second to make sure I'm aware of my surroundings. I would never use it while moving. If it were legal, I would have my phone held up by the top of the steering wheel so I would be able to be even more aware of my surroundings, thanks to peripheral vision! Still looking away from the phone every second of course. But because it's illegal, people will be more sneaky about it and are actually less likely to be aware when they do it!
Unless you are physically PARKED in your car and OUT OF TRAFFIC, you CAN NOT use your mobile device, simple as that. Whether you're on the freeway, in town, or even at a stop light, its ILLEGAL! Not only is it stupid, it is potentially dangerous to not only you, but anyone and everyone around you. Say you're stopped at a red light, a pedestrian is crossing (lets say its a little kid), you glance up and the light is green, you dont see the kid, you didnt see him start walking across, you step on the gas... You heard a thud? take a guess as to what, or WHO that thud was.
i understand why people think its okay to do at lights, and to be honest, im probably at fault of it too sometimes, im not saying that its okay for me to do it and nobody else, but its a habit that really wont make anything better. Anything can wait an extra minute or two just to pull over and read it then.
+Luke wtf? If you glance up you will see the kid. If not you are blind and you should not drive. In my country it's also illegal, but police doesn't stop for that, I've never heard about someone as the example you described. I've never seen an accident of people using phones when they are not moving (yes when they are moving of course)
"I know there's a car in front of me so I can't go forward. I know there's a car behind me so I can't go backward. I know I'm not moving so I can't hit anyone. So what's the problem, exactly, officer?"
When stopped at lights i love beeping people when i see gthem on their phone, half of them just assume the light has gone green and take off without looking...
If the idiot behind me at the lights is looking down texting, I just wait at the light until they sense all the cars around them moving and look up and then I give them the evils in my mirror - I'm soooo badass :-)
Ian McKay and there aren't any losses in the digital duplication of the file. The only losses are from each additional re-encoding of the image and audio using lossy codecs (which RUclips does automatically when videos are uploaded).
Most digital files (Especially consumer-level media files) lose quality whenever they are edited or saved to a different format. Here is a very cool project which uses this quality loss as a sort of "filter" for images. instagram.com/sitting_in_stagram/

Should be a lot more of this! Mobile phone use by drivers is becoming widespread and it is obvious that most users have reduced awareness of what is going on around them. They are a menace!
IKR, I was visiting America for family and I'm from France so I use the metric system while America uses like miles inches and all that. And I got pulled over because I was going a bit over the speed limit and my accent is pretty horrible and the officer pulls me over and is like very rude and has this awful tone and making me get out of my car and all this. It was very new to me and I was a bit shocked because he was being very rough with me and being very hostile. I was following his instructions but I guess he must have miss understood me.
+Whatever Love Yeah. The cops that do their jobs correctly are generally polite, but those who don't, they are rude, arrogant, physically and verbally violent, and don't like being told what to do. It's kind of a safety thing now to video a police encounter.
+Raymond Garcia Cops will sometime pick on people just for the heck of it. Especially if the cop is racist, whether he/she is aware of that racism or not. Now I can't drive yet, but if I ever got unlawfully stopped, I would definitely exercise my rights. Exercising your rights can make cops who don't know the constitution or amendments very angry. This is because they are used to being obeyed. Unfortunately, some cops are just in the job for the power trip. Not all, some. Still, some cops being power hungry is not good. That means that there is a chance that a cop you come across could be volatile. I think there needs to be months, preferably a year of training at the least. Also, cops who commit crimes need to be fired and charged, instead of getting leave. Cops who stop their partners from committing crimes need to be commended, not fired.
British cops -> "No worries mate. I'd like to have a conversation about your illegal use of a electronic device while operating a motor vehicle." American cops -> "GET DOWN ON THE GROUND! GET DOWN ON THE FUCKING GROUND OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!!!" Weird how when you take away guns from cops they start acting like decent, normal people.
The media does like to blow things out of proportion. They also like to sweep things under the rug. That's why we have statistics. We know that massive numbers of people are getting killed by cops. In 2014 at 1100+ people were shot by police officers in the US. Do really you think those 1100+ shootings account for every time the police pull their guns on someone? Of course not. Police pull their guns and threaten to kill people all the time. We just don't count those incidents. That article I showed you wasn't "hot news", it was another example of the authoritarian police tactics practised thousands of times a day in the US.
Sir Okay, one just because they were considered justified doesn't make them justified. The Tamir Rice murder by police was just ruled justified. He was 12 and had a toy gun. This is a high profile case that made national news, if they're comfortable calling that justified, what about all the other shootings by police that don't make the news? Europe has a population of over well seven hundred million people double yours, and has a handful of police shootings every year. Canada, my country, right beside yours, has about a tenth the population, but our rate of police shootings is a quarter the size of yours. The US's large population does not justify the massive rate of police shootings. It is a result of the way american police interact with people, escalating situations by unnecessary aggression. You must have seen the photos of police pointing guns at unarmed protesters.
Oh my... Though Im American I laughed at this... but its only half true... if the driver is African American the cops just shoot... now if the driver is white then they just use a threat. Its mainly cops in larger cities... the cops in smaller towns rarely, if ever, use their firearms, pepper spray or tasers. Actually, the cops in my town are quite disgusted by the behavior & 'ways & inner workings' of Departments in higher populated areas.... to ensure the communities & departments safety the squad cars all have 360 view recording cams & all cops have wear body cams.
In US killing over 4000 a year. Its time to wake people up and shut down the cell phones while driving. Sorry multitasking has been proven that you are not any good doing two things at once.
Wake up it is happening in every part of the planet. Stop making fun of people being killed by idiots who have nothing to better with there time than put other people in danger \
Fun fact: texting while driving has proven to be as bad for your driving abilities as drunk driving. Now you wouldnt drive drunk with your kids on the back seat without even having seatbelts on them? So put that phone down while operating a 1 ton chunk of metal, electrics and fuel with very small marginals at high speeds. Oh, and do you think that you are such a good driver that this doesnt apply to you? Google search Frank Wrathall. A racing driver that was talking on his phone (not even texting) and flattened a cyclist. Sally just got 21 months in jail if i remember correctly. Way to destroy your carrer and CV if i may say so myself. Does brittany really need to know this verry moment how big Toms dick is or can it wait for 10 minutes? Think about it.
SportSoulLife I agree. These people usually have their heads down while going through lights most of the time. How pathetic is it they need to be doing this? A lot of them, mostly women, go through red lights without a care in the world. They shouldn't get off lightly and need to be stoned to death!
Those are the type of officer we need here in America. Nice, Polite, and they actually say Please, Thank You, Sir, and Ma'am.

What will bring violators to halt is writing out EXPENSIVE tickets cost of which should equal the cost of their CELL PHONE. Do you run red light or stop signs all the time? I don't think so or you will be making your city rich every month by paying off your traffic tickets. 15 years ago, I had many traffic tickets and parking tickets and one day my car was towed away. Guess what, I had to pay over $2,000 to get my car back from them. Did that stop me from being jackass on the road? Of course it did. So, think about that.
vasanthmuthu i dunno about over there but in Australia all emergency personnel, on duty, are allowed to use the mobile while driving : /
thatdevilguy I don't get why people need to be on their phone EVERY Damn second of the day.. Even if you're driving for hours -> how about parking for 2 minutes, make your calls, answer your messages and get back on the road? People these days are so stupid
EerieBetrayal
That would be expected and required for emergency personnel to use their wireless device while driving, but I am talking about civilians only.
Dude has eyes like a hawk
I'm a rider my self you can see so much more once you start riding you can see dickheads using phones like they have a big red dot on top of there cars, head position give you away everytime
scitzen honda Those idiots on their phones is what got my cousin in the hospital and he was driving a car and a girl texting IN A FREAKIN TRUCK not a car a truck and smashed right into the side of the car...
scitzen honda True. I see much more shit on my bike then I do in my car. Us bikers only got the road to concentrate on. Car drivers are too busy texting, adjusting the AC, changing a song, screaming at kids, ect. Basically doing everything besides driving. Being a biker has made me a better car driver.
that it does man its simply amazing what your eyes open up to when your riding
Mongoose 3 out of 4 motorcycles I encounter on the highway drive recklessly. It baffles me that I always hear motorcyclists (like you) speak as though people in automobiles are always the one's doing dumb shit.
This gives me much joy. As a motorcyclist I can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly been cleaned up by people on mobile phones.
Same here. I ride a couple of motorcycles and my one aim is to not get killed by lazy drivers. This is filmed in Perth, Western Australia. I live near one of the main access points to the Kwinana Freeway into the city and at peek hour I love seeing these guys pulling up next to cars, tapping on the window and saying, "we're going to pull over there for a chat".
riding a road bike daily, i see EVERY moron that is texting/ reading/ videocalling/ whatever-ing on their phone while driving. cant count the number of close calls ive had where jerks have never even seen me yet almost hit me. conservatively, in my experience 75% of the people on the road are doing it. laws prohibiting it basically are unenforceable. This motorcycle office is my hero!
Amen to this. The only thing that surprised me in this video is how few minivans were cited. When I’m on my bike, I have a rule of thumb... Assume ALL minivan drivers are distracted by something
@@billg7813 funny you say this, only two days ago when I was riding home from work a minivan pulled out of a side street in front of me. I nearly ended up in its thirds row of seats.
yup agreed
Love that last one ... "You have no idea what's going on around you Maam"
Even as a car driver, other car drivers using the phone while driving annoys the shit out of me.
People are totally oblivious to their surroundings when they are on their phone. I saw a woman earlier today (With two kids in her car who weren't wearing seatbelts and were standing up in the back) who ran a red light then didn't notice the cars in front moving off from the next one a few metres down the road TWICE. And people still wonder why it's an offense to use a mobile phone while driving...
Oh, and if you think you can manage it just fine, look up a man called Frank Wrathall. Flattened a cyclist driving his van on the road because he was talking to his girlfriend on the mobile phone, and he is a PROFESSIONAL racing driver.
He raced cars for a living at a top national level (BTCC) and still couldn't do it without hitting someone and killing them. He's serving time for it now thankfully, though he only got 21 months for killing a married father of one.
Whatever you are doing on your phone, it isn't as important as controlling a chunk of metal weighing between one and two tons on average, travelling at 30-80 mph (50-130 km/h). Wake up and put it down.
Amen.
Almost had an accident on Monday with mum driving, the car in front was texting on her phone while driving. Stopped at the lights, she slowly started rolling back, so my mum beeped at her once, then again, then a third time. Still rolling back, my mum had to start rolling too so she didn't roll into us, and about ten seconds solid on the horn she still didn't realize until the traffic started moving again.
NO FUCKING CLUE.
Absolutely boils my piss. We'd just been talking about this very video about five minutes earlier.
***** What about that is stupid?
***** My mum wasn't on the phone, the woman in the car ahead was on the phone and almost rolled back into us.
No, she rolled back while keeping an eye on the car behind. The woman in front had no idea she was even rolling back.

Something to do whilst you're stuck at the lights
@@djtaylormade1195 I typically just make funny faces to people driving by to see their reactions. Much more entertaining, imo
@@djtaylormade1195 The lights change unexpectedly though. Just use it after you're done driving

@@djtaylormade1195how about you watch the light, boy. I'm not saying you should wait for the green like a drag racer, but i'm not saying you shouldn't, either
I'm a bus driver, i spend over 40 hours per week on the road and peoples just don't get the message. Each time i stop a light i look over my shoulder and i'm swear 50% of the time someone is playing with their phone. The most aggravating thing is when the light turn green and they don't move at all.

Always said that it seems weird that they went through the bother of increasing the penalty for handheld phone use, while not seeming to increase enforcement. Mind you, I've rarely seen any police motorcycles* these days(!) and I don't see how exactly it's so hard to just put your phone in a cradle and get a Bluetooth headset at the very least...
[* edit: I've seen a few of them recently, but still, they are a rare sight!]
Too cool! I really wish they did this where I live. They'd be busy though since every other car you drive by in Johnson County is operated by someone looking at their phone.

Fellow biker here. I've also twice nearly been run off the road by someone driving while on the phone. First time was a laden tipper truck, didnt even notice the roundabout he went straight across, let alone me going round it.
I like to count the number of people i see on their phones when I lane split. About 80%
Yes especially the woman who despite flashing lights beside her continued to talk on the phone .Just what we don't need on the road

Fucking selfish shitsuckers will NEVER stop using their phones while driving.
Anton Bouchette cry about it
Should be aloowed at stoplight or under 10 mph (traffic) if people impede traffic there is a law for that or if people are moving fast on the phone then ok. This is revenue and punishing people who have no caused any issue. Oh yea, swurving on the phone, law there...wreckless driving. Serve and protect not fine and collect.
+xRedRAinDBx Some people do cry about it. The ones who have lost family members due to texting and driving.

To all you whining "derp derp it's illegal to be on your phone while your stopped at a red light?"
YES you morons! From the time you are on public roads, you are "operating a motor vehicle". Unless you are safely pulled over or parked and not inducing traffic, you should NOT be on your phone at all. Both hands should be used for nothing else other than the operation of your vehicle (controls; steering wheel, turn signals, gear shift, etc). You shouldn't be on your phone updating your FB status, you shouldn't be putting on make up, you shouldn't be eating a cheeseburger. JUST FUCKING DRIVE.
-sincerely, truck driver & motorcyclist.
That's the truth but you know there are cops that use there cell phones to
+ApexIXMR Presumably, adjusting windows and talking on cb radio (presumably most truckers do that) are ok with your statement because hands are not on wheel temporarily.
+Raymond Wong what part of "operating your vehicle" did you not understand?

Totally agree, simple but VERY effective, especially as it sounds like a twin dual sport sitting atop one of those you'd be able to see into pretty much domestic vehicle on the road introduce a couple of these unmarked bikes into a city centre and the word would soon spread and there's nowhere that these bikes can't go makes you wonder if other police forces are really serious about dealing with this.

This guy is legend, direct yet polite and catching drivers that do know better. how many drivers do you see swigging beer whilst behind the wheel, very rarely, why, because it's illegal and they know this, so what's the difference with a mobile phone, is the info there looking at so important that they can't wait till there parked.

I come back to this every couple of month
Let's have this in the UK please, so many people using their phones while driving, give em 6 points and £500 fine
Its already in effect in the UK 6 points if you're caught, Im not sure what the fine is though.
It got changed in April i believe, along with harsher punishment for most driving offences in the UK now
Since the change, I see less people using their phones, but still far too many. People will give the law change a while to see if it impacts before reverting back to previous behaviour. It would be interesting to see some stats relating to conditions since the law change if anybody has seen any?
This is what they should do instead of giving out speeding tickets! I would do this job with a smile all day long!

The problem with people using their phone when stationary at the lights is they are so engrossed with their phone is they don't see the lights have changed. Lost count the number of times i've had to sound my horn to get them to take their eyes of their phone and move off.
Sure but it's not comparable with using it while actually moving. Kind of ridiculous that you get the same punishment for risking a slight inconvenience at a red light, as you do for putting everyone around you at risk while moving. Generally people reading their phones at red lights aren't dangerous. Should at least be a lesser punishment.
That, or they see the person next to them moving, and they're either a green arrow and they still have a red, or they don't look up to check to see if the person in front has moved, and they slam into the back.... The dangers with using your phone at the lights are real, and motorcyclists have been killed.
Or they creep forward because they can't see they're moving.
PBMS123 To be fair you would have to be pretty stupid to do that! Of course there are rare cases where it ends up actually being dangerous but most of the time it's just an inconvenience.
Its not as rare as you think. Someone who uses their phone at the lights, knowing it's illegal will be more inclined to use it while driving as well, thinking they can do it safely.
Most people who use their phone at the lights don't put it away when it's green, and they're most likel;y uising it while they approach the light.
Just because you're at a red light doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying attention, the light changing to green is just one thing. You need to be aware of everything, like if you're creeping forward because you aren't on the brake hard enough, they dont see it, because they aren't paying attention. And the fact the last person couldn't see the cop beside them with his lights on for that amount of time until he knocked, shows how dangerously unaware they are.
You need to be looking for dangers, like a truck not stopping for instance, an emergency vehicle coming up.
This is not rare, and almost everyone i see on their phone at the lights starts moving on a green light while still on their phone, completely unaware of their surroundings.
People who defend the use of it while driving, whether your moving or not don't realise that you need to pay attention all the time.
I hear ya, I'm just saying that a lot of people are perfectly capable of looking at their phone at a red light while being aware of their surroundings. Of course not everyone can, and that's why the laws are in place. I do it sometimes but only if I'm not moving and I still look up every second to make sure I'm aware of my surroundings. I would never use it while moving.
If it were legal, I would have my phone held up by the top of the steering wheel so I would be able to be even more aware of my surroundings, thanks to peripheral vision! Still looking away from the phone every second of course. But because it's illegal, people will be more sneaky about it and are actually less likely to be aware when they do it!
Unless you are physically PARKED in your car and OUT OF TRAFFIC, you CAN NOT use your mobile device, simple as that. Whether you're on the freeway, in town, or even at a stop light, its ILLEGAL! Not only is it stupid, it is potentially dangerous to not only you, but anyone and everyone around you. Say you're stopped at a red light, a pedestrian is crossing (lets say its a little kid), you glance up and the light is green, you dont see the kid, you didnt see him start walking across, you step on the gas... You heard a thud? take a guess as to what, or WHO that thud was.
i understand why people think its okay to do at lights, and to be honest, im probably at fault of it too sometimes, im not saying that its okay for me to do it and nobody else, but its a habit that really wont make anything better. Anything can wait an extra minute or two just to pull over and read it then.
+Luke J
That's really unlikely to happen, though - how blind do you have to be lol
fuck you and your "simple as that".. the fact is your brain has no comprehension power to realize that a moving car =/= a stationary car.
+Luke It's a bit childish though. For this clip, it would be better to show people getting tickets who actually drive whilest on the phone.

wtf? If you glance up you will see the kid. If not you are blind and you should not drive.
In my country it's also illegal, but police doesn't stop for that, I've never heard about someone as the example you described.

That's what happens to videos when they go through several download then re-upload cycles. The multiple lossy re-encodings kill quality.
Its digital, should not be any losses!
Ian McKay and there aren't any losses in the digital duplication of the file. The only losses are from each additional re-encoding of the image and audio using lossy codecs (which RUclips does automatically when videos are uploaded).
Most digital files (Especially consumer-level media files) lose quality whenever they are edited or saved to a different format. Here is a very cool project which uses this quality loss as a sort of "filter" for images.

its called compression.. you know to make the videos quicker to download/watch on the net... I'm sure the original footage looks just fine... (it would have to as the prosecution would use it in court if someone appealed the fine)
i want this job so bad
Me too! I hate drivers on their phones so bad!
I want this job too
cheeki breeki and me
Do it mate nothing stopping you. To become a motorcycle cop requires a lot of skill though I would never run from one they’re incredible riders.
Cycling Mikey needs to pay attention to this. This guy deals with the offences, but does it quickly, not creating further dangerous situations, or distractions, and without antagonising people.
To American Police Force,
This is how you speak to people!.
@Fmono • 39 years ago • edited He speaks like that coz hes on camera, sadly not enough of them speak like that.
We need that here in California
I take my moms phone away when she drives to make sure she doesn't use it lol need the GPS tell me and I'll get on it you just drive 😂😂
Ur in CA ?
+Asriel “Flowey” Dreemurr yep born and raised seen lots of bad drivers out here
TwisteeTheDark1 I was born there, And lived there for 9 years.
it's not bad cause of texting California has been and is number 1 for most aggressive drives for ever is why in realty cause of how aggressive every one is the good drivers are really good drivers
Love it. I think this would be a sweet job. It'd beat the hell out of dealing with patients in casualty after the accidents these people cause.
Straight and to the point. No arguing. I've been videoing you on the phone....... Pull up over there and we will talk.
This video is so satisfying to watch, Thank You Sir for your invaluable service keeping our roads safe
I love how he's on the verge of being sarcastic x,D
Fucking hate people using phones while driving.
Should be a lot more of this! Mobile phone use by drivers is becoming widespread and it is obvious that most users have reduced awareness of what is going on around them. They are a menace!
Thanks sir for your service
Wow. I wish cops here in the US were that polite. It is so stressful being unsure of whether a cop is violent or not.
IKR, I was visiting America for family and I'm from France so I use the metric system while America uses like miles inches and all that. And I got pulled over because I was going a bit over the speed limit and my accent is pretty horrible and the officer pulls me over and is like very rude and has this awful tone and making me get out of my car and all this. It was very new to me and I was a bit shocked because he was being very rough with me and being very hostile. I was following his instructions but I guess he must have miss understood me.
+Whatever Love Yeah. The cops that do their jobs correctly are generally polite, but those who don't, they are rude, arrogant, physically and verbally violent, and don't like being told what to do. It's kind of a safety thing now to video a police encounter.
To be fair, everyone hates french people, not just police officers.
+Yayaya123 Lol
+Raymond Garcia Cops will sometime pick on people just for the heck of it. Especially if the cop is racist, whether he/she is aware of that racism or not. Now I can't drive yet, but if I ever got unlawfully stopped, I would definitely exercise my rights. Exercising your rights can make cops who don't know the constitution or amendments very angry. This is because they are used to being obeyed. Unfortunately, some cops are just in the job for the power trip. Not all, some. Still, some cops being power hungry is not good. That means that there is a chance that a cop you come across could be volatile. I think there needs to be months, preferably a year of training at the least. Also, cops who commit crimes need to be fired and charged, instead of getting leave. Cops who stop their partners from committing crimes need to be commended, not fired.
My god that was satisfying
True
“No worries buddy” .... you gotta love Australia.
Well done.... cool calm and collected approach.
British cops -> "No worries mate. I'd like to have a conversation about your illegal use of a electronic device while operating a motor vehicle."
American cops -> "GET DOWN ON THE GROUND! GET DOWN ON THE FUCKING GROUND OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!!!"
Weird how when you take away guns from cops they start acting like decent, normal people.
+Phil Dog Australian*
Sir www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-miami-gardens-shooting-20150408-story.html
Fucking seriously.
The media does like to blow things out of proportion. They also like to sweep things under the rug. That's why we have statistics.
We know that massive numbers of people are getting killed by cops. In 2014 at 1100+ people were shot by police officers in the US. Do really you think those 1100+ shootings account for every time the police pull their guns on someone? Of course not. Police pull their guns and threaten to kill people all the time. We just don't count those incidents.
That article I showed you wasn't "hot news", it was another example of the authoritarian police tactics practised thousands of times a day in the US.
Sir Okay, one just because they were considered justified doesn't make them justified. The Tamir Rice murder by police was just ruled justified. He was 12 and had a toy gun. This is a high profile case that made national news, if they're comfortable calling that justified, what about all the other shootings by police that don't make the news?
Europe has a population of over well seven hundred million people double yours, and has a handful of police shootings every year. Canada, my country, right beside yours, has about a tenth the population, but our rate of police shootings is a quarter the size of yours.
The US's large population does not justify the massive rate of police shootings. It is a result of the way american police interact with people, escalating situations by unnecessary aggression. You must have seen the photos of police pointing guns at unarmed protesters.
Oh my... Though Im American I laughed at this... but its only half true... if the driver is African American the cops just shoot... now if the driver is white then they just use a threat.
Its mainly cops in larger cities... the cops in smaller towns rarely, if ever, use their firearms, pepper spray or tasers. Actually, the cops in my town are quite disgusted by the behavior & 'ways & inner workings' of Departments in higher populated areas.... to ensure the communities & departments safety the squad cars all have 360 view recording cams & all cops have wear body cams.
In US killing over 4000 a year. Its time to wake people up and shut down the cell phones while driving. Sorry multitasking has been proven that you are not any good doing two things at once.
arthurhouston3 Shit...as if that would stand! People would be flying lawsuits left and right!
Wake up it is happening in every part of the planet. Stop making fun of people being killed by idiots who have nothing to better with there time than put other people in danger

It is neurological impossible to focus on 2 things at once
Fun fact: texting while driving has proven to be as bad for your driving abilities as drunk driving. Now you wouldnt drive drunk with your kids on the back seat without even having seatbelts on them? So put that phone down while operating a 1 ton chunk of metal, electrics and fuel with very small marginals at high speeds. Oh, and do you think that you are such a good driver that this doesnt apply to you? Google search Frank Wrathall. A racing driver that was talking on his phone (not even texting) and flattened a cyclist. Sally just got 21 months in jail if i remember correctly. Way to destroy your carrer and CV if i may say so myself. Does brittany really need to know this verry moment how big Toms dick is or can it wait for 10 minutes? Think about it.
SportSoulLife I agree. These people usually have their heads down while going through lights most of the time. How pathetic is it they need to be doing this? A lot of them, mostly women, go through red lights without a care in the world. They shouldn't get off lightly and need to be stoned to death!
Great attitude with this cop need more like them
Respectful and doesn’t escalate the situation the drivers have no excuse to be mad besides their own issues
They need to do this in the U.S.! These people on their phones are a HAZARD!!
Australian Police Mate.....Australian Police!
LOL Australian Dickheads using mobiles while driving Mate.....
:P
Dazza G
And some of those people weren’t even Australian
Lyfector Minecraft Victorian police
7 Cubed Films most of them were Australian mate. What do you mean by saying that?
WMdO
What do you think i mean?
This needs to happen in Canada, please.
They need more cops like this in America.
