@Audit the Audit Only a B-?? He badgered this guy for eons just because of his ego being bruised with him not wanting to comply on rolling down the window all the way (if you notice, the guy even compromised by rolling it down a little bit further than he originally had it, but the cop _STILL_ pestered him about it!!)... This was beyond frustrating to watch.
Hi AA , I am a big fan of your vids . Just got a Speed ticket from one of my local speed traps and thought I would look into it on my own behalf , so I asked New Castle City PD how to get copy of officers dash cam & body cam/ FOIA, I was told such a request needed to be made from there city building. Which I did on line. This is the basic answer I got back in an e mail from the chief of the PD(The video you are requesting is evidence in pending litigation and can only be released following an appropriate discovery request). So a citizen can't simply see what the police have on him? This is one of those tight nit PDs that every one in the PD is talking to each other even about something as simple as a citizen wanting to fight his $97 ticket /tax. I spoke to another chief about the ticket & he assured me that his speeding campaigns where not about the money that they where strictly about safety only. In northern Delaware there are several PD that are infamous for speed traps & I assure you it is about the money (Elsmere PD , New Port PD)
Update: The cop can't get any sleep since that happened, and spends all his nights wondering why on earth this guy didn't want to roll his window down.
@@utopesI think it was the exact opposite, two guys who were forced into an interaction and showed mutual respect despite starting off on the wrong foot
@JigginAllDay Both sides are valid. It's just that the vast majority of us don't know our rights like Mr. Transparency; so, when you exercise them the cops view that as 'suspicious behavior.'
The cops (good and bad) bank on the ignorance of the population. When someone knows and invokes their rights, these police are taken aback, they can't fathom that a citizen would know their rights, let alone employ them. There are exceptions to this, of course. Cops want "black and white" situations, it makes their job easier. Unfortunately (for the police), I am sure there is a massive amount of grey area in every interaction. Never mistake a calm demeanor for innocent intentions. The cop was trying to break this intelligent citizen.
Uhm nah that’s just common sense. It’s obvious that I am high as well when I don’t want them to watch my eyes or if I refuse a drug test. It’s totally normal. But that’s prolly the only right point the officer made
And part 2 of the problem is what is intended by "if you want to take it to court we can do that". Because he knows he really can do whatever he wants, and if someone takes the week off work, hires a lawyer, goes through the steps and pays the pricey bill, he MIGHT win in court. Which would amount to nothing. Charges dropped, but he doesn't the night in jail, court fee, lawyer fees, paid time off, back. Whereas the officer who did whatever he wants, gets paid regardless.
My response to that is always “you can tell me to take my clothes off?”/whatever that shows how red oculi is their statement is (ie not the whole they can say what they like but the implication/affirmation that I must do whatever they say regardless of my own safety, views or beliefs or even the laws etc). I mean if they tell me to commit a crime am I obligated to? Lol
i mean a cop is asking to roll your window down whats the prob with that? show respect to him and he will to you .. i promise in uae if these mfs act like that .. the police will deport them or fine them .. no disrespect allowed here
@@gazgazclan4454 you can say no tho as long as it’s reasonable. If he don’t wanna, he don’t wanna. Cop shoulda dropped it but instead chose to escalate the situation
Man, that cop was seriously fishing for a reason to take this encounter further. I wouldn’t necessarily agree he was one of the good guys. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.
I wouldn't say that, I mean he DIDNT give him a ticket. Maybe that was because of the dash cam though. I do absolutely agree he needed to just drop the window thing.
@@TheDanimatorsChannel I would definitely say that. This individual is so stuck on a little thing as a window...? Excuse me? The driver was more than nice and egoless, just following his lawful rights. Let's imagine another scenario. You got your average sheep with emotional issues. Gets pulled over. Piggy walks in, and driver gives a slight remark or complaint. This piggy is going to blow a fuking gasket and do everything within his power to apprehend the dude.
@@TheDanimatorsChannel " he DIDNT give him a ticket. Maybe that was because of the dash cam though." - so he was fishing for something and then left because he could be proven wrong in court?. What are you trying to say mate?. That window issue was the extension of this stop which the officer wasn't confident in and was trying to find a cause.
The driver was spiteful in rolling down his window. The cop demanded and driver was showing he didn’t need to. But the driver wasn’t just expressing his rights. He was very passive aggressive. This contact could have gone much better.
@@caseygiles1368 spiteful cause he didn’t roll down his window? That cop just stood there and lied about the speed he was going, windows rolled all the way down they start looking in cars and shit says it smells like weed lmao they ain’t slick

This cop is 1000% the guy that spends 45 minutes interrogating everyone to figure out who left a fork in the sink instead of just tossing it in the dishwasher when he found it.
If you don’t enforce it, a fork will be in the sink every day until you figure out who put it there. People don’t learn on their own when it comes to their bad attributes unless you TELL THEM.
@@Delicate_Disaster we never were able to use it, my mother would tell us to wash everything by hand cause the dishwasher uses too much water blah blah. But, thank you for taking a joke Ms Delicate Disaster.

Yeah and he no need give him papers too only Show them not Give. Realize he do that and office want window roll down again because he cant see well:):)
@@mAKtre47 Nope. Not at all. Rights are rights. Laws are laws. If cops need the windows down the legislature should pass a law. What you fail to realize is the psychology behind police interaction and what complying with something like rolling your window down does.
@@micsierra806 nope. You're wrong, I completely understand that the cop was on an ego trip and just wanted him to roll the window down in the end cause he said so... next..
Every time I hear a cop basically say, "What? You want to actually excercise your Constitutional Rights? OUTRAGEOUS!" it make me angry, like how dare you break the law like that as the one who is supposed to uphold it
Thats why you tell the Officer "I'm going to do the same thing you would do if you were being investigated by Internal Affairs, I'm not going to answer any questions to incriminate myself. I don't have the luxury of having my Attorney or Union Rep on the roadside with me".
I don't think training would fix that. Its more about power and authority. Police feel like they are owed unquestioning and willing obedience. If people don't give them that they turn hostile because they feel like the natural order of things has been violated. Take the window thing for example. The cop gave an order and the driver refused to comply. The cop harps on it to flex his power and reclaim what he sees as lost authority. This is a problem inherent with government employees.
Its also the " screening" of who should be a police officer. Most of these guys have some kind of power kick- if they start getting people who fall to pieces when they pull them over- it starts to go to their head. Even a little bit is dangerous because they are going to get pissed when they get one that doesn't. Power like that is a very bad thing if a person is not mature enough or humble enough to understand what it is truly for.
@@ManoliGreek2640 right- the only question is which one? Most of them get sucked into this " para military" image that gets distorted over time untill even they cannot tell what they are upholding. I never thought I would ever say this- but I welcome robots or androids that are doing that job. The fear was always not having the " human factor" to make the difference, but jesus- its the human part of it, that is the one we fear! All the little insecurities and temptation is the bad stuff.
@@ianmoseley9709 everyone can be a bitch. Nobody should respect a policeman just because he/ she is a policeman. You don't respect someone until you come to know that person. In some totalitarian countries, there are laws that require the citizen to "respect" the police but people only pretend to respect the cops because the law said so. Now, it brings us to a question. If a law exists just to force people to respect a certain group of people, didn't that created a class system that a certain group of people have more power over the others and can enforce the law to hurt others or to gain benefit based on how the person feel? For example, I am a cop and I feel I am not being respected so I arrested someone. Now if we are to make everyone equal, we need to create a law that forces everyone to respect everyone but how do we define respect? If I walk on the street and someone doesn't like my look and says I don't respect him/ her, called the cop and arrest me, now I have to spend days and money to go to court. This is going to be chaotic. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that Hong Kong is trying to pass such a law after the general public detests the police after they sided with the CCP and destroyed the future of many kids. People stopped respecting the police and the government thinks respect can be gained not by an effort but by making a law. Simply speaking, the cops want to feel being respect but not caring if people really respect them. This is just like how it used to be back in the 1940s when Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese Imperial army. People had to bow to the Japanese Imperial soldiers or they may get into trouble. Sometimes I think humanity is going backward not forward.
I understand cops might think citizens are agressive and reluctant to cooperate with them, but honestly, any normal person would distrust cops nowadays, and for very good reasons.
I don’t think most of them actually think that, I think they accuse people of being that way so they have reason to either put hands on them or to give them a citation for violating completely subjective and vague laws like disorderly conduct when their original reason for detaining someone doesn’t pan out they way they hoped when the encounter started.
ZzzZzzz that.. window zzzzZzzz must get rolled DOWN ZzzzZzzz HUH? Oh it's 6 am. No oh shit, I pissed in my bed again at sleep, damn that innocent guy for not letting me own him.
Once time, when I was 18, I was driving 60 in a 55. I know this because it was on cruise control. I always set it at exactly 4-5 mph over. An officer pulled me over and said I was going 95. I knew this was without a doubt not true and said, “well did you get my speed on radar??” “Mam you were going 95. Do you realize that’s grounds to arrest you?” “But... did you get it on radar?? I had cruise control on so I know how fast I was going. No way it was 95.” (Sadly, being the first time I was ever pulled over, and being the young emotional teen that I was, I was about ready to cry and very scared lol. Didn’t help my case) Cop: “Mam... I was parked on the side of the road and I had to go 95 miles an hour to catch up with your vehicle. You were going 95.” “But... you were stopped. So you’re going to have to go way faster to catch up with my car-“ “Mam are you insulting my intelligence? If I had to go 95 behind your car to catch up with you, you were going 95.” “But your car was stopped! So even if I was going 30 miles an hour, you’d still have to go much faster than my speed to catch up to my car, that’s why I’m asking if you had it on radar.” She looks pissed, doesn’t answer, and just rudely tells me to stay put after collecting my info, goes back to her car, makes me wait forever, then issues a 150 dollar ticket, telling me how lucky I am considering she could have me arrested for such reckless speeds. Lady don’t understand physics. Wish I’d had a dash cam and knew my rights better >.
This happened to me! I told him it couldn't be possible that I was going 80 in a 55, because my cruise control was at 60. Then he tried to get me with taking the bend at 60, and I told him there's no sign to slow down for the bend? He was just trying to get me for nothing, I also had a witness in the car so I think that's why he didn't push a ticket.
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately as a young teenager I didn’t know how to defend myself and I believed the cop. I was driving my dads truck at the time. I saw the cop parked off the freeway to the right before I passed him so I intentionally checked my speed. I was going between 65-70mph and the speed limit was 65. He asked if I knew why I was pulled over and I said no. He said it was because I was speeding. I was kinda flabbergasted because even if I was speeding I knew it couldn’t have been more than 5mph over and confused why he’d pull me over for that. He than said I was going like 85 or something like that. I told him my speed was 65 because I checked my speedometer just prior to passing him. He then went on this whole spiel that he was going 85 to keep up with me and my speedometer must be wrong because the tires on the truck were too big. He let me off with a warning. And then at the very end of the traffic stop without mentioning anything about this prior, cop randomly said that I was also swerving between the lines. Didn’t say I went outside the lines but that I was swerving. Unfortunately I believed him and got mad at my dad for not telling me his speedometer was broken so my dad literally took me out in the truck to test the speed using a second speedometer and showed that his speedometer on his truck is only less than 5 mph off when going at that speed. So cop was definitely lying.
Within the boundaries of common sense a police officer can order a citizen to do whatever they would like, citizens can however challenge the order after the incident in court
I went through that same scenario a few years back in Alabama, with a Trooper trying to tell me I was doing 100 miles per hour and tried about 5 times to get me to admit it. As a grandmother, who drives like one, I laughed each time he said I was driving 100 miles per hr, as I was amused each time he gave it his best shot for my confession. A lot of traffic on the highway that day and I told him he missed his speeder, I was doing 65 and had many cars passing me, which was the truth. He finally gave up on getting a confession from me😂
@@taraakins8273 facts, being compliant can go a long way with some cops but that doesn’t mean you have to entertain every powertripping whim that they demand
This interaction shows just how well-trained LEOs are when it comes to an investigation because the focus is and persistently always to get the victim to incriminate themselves. This is why it's important to be polite to LEOs but never wise to engage in conversation. Never answer questions - always politely decline, and be a broken record about it because they will use patter to get your guard down and then use what you say against you.
Mr. Transparency played this one exactly the way you should play it every time when you're not in the wrong. SO MUCH RESPECT FOR THIS GUY AND I HOPE THE COP LEARNED A LIFE LESSON
One of the reasons why LEOs are failing at being professional/good police is they are bulldogs and aggressive ON THE WRONG THINGS. They attack and bully people doing nothing wrong while neglecting real crime/criminals. In fact, in some places, criminals are being let free and/or not pursued while the everyday citizen IS being harassed to the point of misery and costly infractions. This is classic corrupt policing and the public isn't being served; it's being served UP to politically corrupt agents who desire power over the public. This is not what our Founders desired, nor should be tolerated in a free society.
That cop is stuck on that window rolling part,cause rolling window down is a sign of respct,if you roll down your window full you are giving full respect to police,but if you just open it little just so you can talk its a sign of disrespct and all this judgement of window thing its not mine,i am telling how police thinks about this,he just wanted to be respected,but in reality respect is not given it is earned and the law enforcement in todays day and age,thy have many things but thy dont have respect of the people,and this guy makes that belief more stronger,tht y law enforceemnt doesnt have the respect of the people
@@rahulsharma-ht7ut 😂😂😂😂😂 The country of freedom!!! Crazy, intolerable!! US law: 27-49-107 of the arkansas code states: -no person shall willingly fail or refuse to comply with any lawful order or direction of any police officer Sentence of the Italian supreme court on the crime 337 Criminal Code "resistance to a public official" There is no crime of resistance to a public official when the citizen engages in passive resistance. -This is the case of someone who, upon realizing that the police are arriving for a check, runs away somewhere else (think of the street vendor who, at the sight of the officers, picks up his stuff from the ground and runs away); -or to those who, having glimpsed a checkpoint with their car and having left their license at home, make a U-turn. -The behavior of those who do not facilitate police control operations and do not obey the officer's commands such as, for example, opening the bonnet of the car, raising their arms upwards to allow the search, that of those who refuse to unbutton their jacket or those who do not want to open their suitcases for a normal check. -Expressions of threats addressed to the latter do not constitute the crime of resistance to a public official, when they do not reveal any desire to oppose the performance of the official act, but rather represent a form of contestation of the previous activity carried out by the public official.
@@rahulsharma-ht7ut Merely existing as a police officer does not mean anyone has to respect them as they would a friend. You treat them like an officer but also as a stranger. There have been plenty of dangerously behaving cops featured on this channel alone they should not be trusted by default. they are capable of as much wrong as anyone else.
I like how Mr. Transparency calls the officer on it all "we can take that to court" and the officer knows he can't actually win in court so he backs off the whole "I can make this worse", and writes a warning because he knows he don't want this in a court room. 87 in a 65, please, that's traffic cop golf, and he didn't site him .... hmmmmm.
I’m no law professional but it seems like that would make it look like James was trying to hide something. I know this is just a joke but in all seriousness the officer could’ve seen keeping the window rolled up was a threat(hiding gun) or just hiding drugs or something.
@@12grit71 so communicate exactly that instead of repeating your order to assert dominance. Or order the hands on the steering wheel etc. You could be right but even then the situation was handled poorly
Ofc, becouse cop got caught lying. Once i got stopped for driving without seatbelt, since i happened to have my friend filming in the car while we drove. all of a sudden we didnt talk about seat belt at all but still he wouldnt let us leave 😅
Probably because he wasn't speeding. "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" "I do, as does this camera" [Damn, if I walk away now, it's obvious (and on camera) I was trying to give bogus tickets. Hmmm..... Compliance/suspicion..... Maybe there's a face-saving trick there]
Love how cops will say you're being defensive and argumentative by not letting them walk all over you. The cop is the only one being defensive and argumentative- he's the one who immediately picked the pointless argument over the window.
The cop isn't being defensive, he's being aggressive, and being defensive in the face of aggression is natural. The officer simply made up the thing about wanting to be able to talk "better" so that he could test how compliant the driver is when given a pointless order.
My attorney told me to do these things during a traffic stop: 1) never roll your window all the way down(they use this to say we smell alcohol/weed) 2) never admit to anything ie speeding, drinking, etc.. 3) invoke your right to remain silent 4) never consent to a voluntary search of your vehicle or search of your trunk, they need a warrant 5) asking you are being detained or free to go 6) have a dash cam!
@@BackyardRebel and there ya go, driving w a headlight out. Exactly there’s always something. If that headlight wasn’t out, you wouldn’t have had anything to worry about. And if that was your only issue, what’s the concern? Why do we need to ask like this at all? Unless you have something to hide.
Caution: this officer comes off as friendly and trying to be a buddy. But a policeman is not a buddy especially during a traffic stop. And this driver seem to understand that completely.
Sometimes too, but you should not risk it ;) But i need to say i was pulled over one time and admitted that i was driving too fast and after i nice conversation the officer only gave me a warning. But yeah i only admitted because there where two cops so they where two and even if i said i was not speeding i had no chance :D
It’s actually not the officers job to prosecute at all. It’s the officers job to place probably cause within reason to charge someone. Innocent until proven guilty. It’s the prosecutions duty to prosecute charges.
@@Jbailey9102 That is a good clarification. For anybody who may read his reply and be confused, it is agreeing with the main comment and is just a clarification
This cop actually says to the citizen "I can tell you to do what ever I want" What a blatant abuse of power and big big ego!!! This man should not be a police officer. Unbelievable!!!!
The trooper really tried to move beyond the limits of what he could legally do and it’s clear he was not used to civilians knowing the law. 100% he has abused the power of that badge in some way, shape, or form.
"Because I took an oath to the constitution, and I keep my oaths. Now I've answered your question, answer mine. Why don't you get on with your traffic stop instead of arguing about something you already admitted doesn't matter?"
Yeah thats dumb...realize he raise and lower window few times becuase its winter outside for example i think cop smash that window with words:Now i can talk with you better.
A cop once let me go with a warning for DUI. He tried to make me to confess I was drinking the night before (which I wasn't) and let me go when I told him I want to do the blood test because I didn't trust his breathalyzer (the cop's breathalyzer showed .16% which is A LOT).

@@RadDadisRad Sadly, the cop will have to know you have the recording before he goes to court, otherwise it won't be admissable. In that time, they can and will change their report.
He can. He can say "dance like a chicken". And if the passenger refuses, then to enforce that command he would need to apply the law. But to say it, just to say it, that I would think it's okay. Isn't it?

Tell vs compel? I think that was the cop's point. I know what I am about to share is not "grr cop bad" like most of these comments are jumping at, but please consider it. In context where Mr. T was pointing out how Mr. T didn't have to roll down his window, I think the cop meant to say: "I can tell you to do anything I want, and you can refuse if it's within your rights." Sure the cop was annoyed, but I think he knew that he couldn't force him to roll the window down.
This cop met his perfect match that day, one wants the window down, one wants the window up, one says he was speeding one says he wasn’t…Legends has it that till this day the officer still can’t get over the fact that he didn’t want to roll the window down.
Yeah I got super annoyed at the troupers persistence as to WHY!!!??? He didn't want to roll the window down! Laying making it on to a law! I seen several videos with same line of questioning, where the driver just cracks the window a couple of inches, but Mr transparency open the window at least six -8 inches!! That's plenty but not enough for the trouper, Good job Mr R Transparacy!👊
Right! why wouldn’t he say citizen? Still trying to trip Mr. Transparency up by trying to provoking a reaction! The window is down far enough to conduct your business, drop it and let’s finish this up!!
This happened to me once. I passed a officer doing 72 on the interstate and got pulled over. He said I was doing 85. I said why would I purposely speed pass you to intentionally get pulled over. No response.
@@daviddrennan1759 Naybe they were responding to an incident there. Did you go in and look, or just assume that because it was an eatery, the police were there eating?
I on e got pulled over for going 90 in a 55, far away from home. The car passing me, while the cop was directly behind me was going 90. I was going 57. The officer kept telling me that I'm going to have to go all the way out to the local courthouse to fight the ticket, and that it's be easier to pay via mail. He refused to acknowledge my belief that his radar detected the speed of the passing vehicle. Although he initially acknowledged that the other car sped past both of us, he kept skipping over my question about why he failed to pull that car over. I drove the few hours to the courthouse and the judge threw the ticket out, and after listening to me (and my witness) speak about the pullover, he apologized, and went out of his way to say he was going to question the officer's superior over the incident. He felt that it was a failure of justice.
Nothing is scarier than hearing a police officer say, “why are you being argumentative?”. Because if you stay silent, you are noncompliant and argumentative. Or if you try to disagree, you are argumentative and hostile. That little saying is the key to figuring out if you’re dealing with a policer officer just doing his civic duty, or a cop going on a power trip
@@mesofius I've been pulled over before, and complying and just doing what the officer says is a good way to just go on your way. Some people should try it out sometime.
@@Vetospeedo First of all, they spent a couple of weeks in a police academy, they're not actual officers, that title is a ploy to elicit respect where none is due. They have the easiest job in the world to just harass people when they feel like it and are paid handsomely for it, there's no reason to pay them any special respect for it. Second of all, when they start asking questions, it's what they call is a fishing expedition, they're trying to catch you inadvertently admitting to committing any minor crime which they will use to twist your words to accuse you of a bigger crime. It's a sick game they play because they're bored from not using their brains in the line of work much and also to boost their fragile egos.
I like this guy. He responded with respect and did not give away his personal power. This cop was so typical of an arrogant control authority and was out of line from the start.
"you give us signs by not cooperating." That statement sums up exactly the attitude of cops in this country. They expect you to do exactly what they tell you (lawful or not) and expect you to answer ANY question they ask, to hell with your constitutional rights and if you do not you are automatically considered a suspect.
My dashcam saved me from a lying/mistaken cop. The cop tried writing a ticket until I said "That's fine. The judge will have to dismiss it when they see my dashcam." He knew he was caught and left without giving me a ticket.
Mr. carl, For a clear understanding the fifth amendment is a legitimate right not a privilege… But some individuals may conceive it as a privilege when it's really not. And what the AtA narrator is describing is that in situations where you get pulled over by a police officer or questioned in the streets by a police officer to not incriminate yourself you must keep silent on certain situation… Because the law can get you on that and it always will. And clearly that's what the fifth amendment is not incriminating yourself and keeping silent. When it comes to traffic in fractions it's best to fight your tickets in court when you feel that you have been unjust. Never fight your battles with the police in the streets!
@ஜேசன் I don’t think everyone knows or understands their rights. If they do they fore go their rights and go along with whatever because police officers are in a position of authority.
“Privelege” used in this sense is a legal term and is not referring to the colloquial definition that would put it at odds with a “Right”. Think of it more along the lines of “Attorney Client Privilege”. In evidence law certain information is “privileged”, and can’t be asked about. The 5th Amendment provides “privilege against self incrimination”. It’s just a matter of nuance in legal terms, it doesn’t mean that the 5th Amendment isn’t a Right.
This is the problem with police trained to be suspicious rather than trained to understand and protect the rights of people. They are constantly seeking out criminal behavior, which sounds good in theory, but during police-citizen interactions having only one gear causes them to miss opportunities to build public trust. I'd argue that public trust is a much more valuable crime deterrent than the imposing force that cops have come to represent.
In the USSR nobody was innocent, and everyone was guilty all of the time of something somehow that could get you shipped off to Siberia to die in a gulag camp. Thats why this idea that everyone has to blindly obey anyone in 'authority' is so dangerous........it will only get worse.
yup!! we really need to fire all the cops we have then retrain new ones to respect, uphold and enforce our rights and put the emphasis on protect and serve not terrorize and kill!
@@mellie4174 Firing all the cops is unlikely. I think an approach that is practical and could achieve a similar end is to do retraining, and drastically change the police academy curriculum so that people fully appreciate their job as protectors of rights, even and especially during civilian- or criminal-police interaction. I'd go so far as to say we disarm the police. If you're scared, quit. OR, you can learn to talk to people and deescalate.
Well said. Slightly related, as a military veteran, it freaks me out how common the military-to-cop pipeline is, especially for infantry types. The training an infantry soldier receives, the base he builds all later training on, in my opinion is almost the exact opposite of the training and mentality you want to instill in our law enforcement. Good soldier does not equal good cop.

I assure you they know why, & may even ask what do have to hide. This officer was persistent in trying to get the driver to incriminate himself. Officer said 87, the driver said not 21 over. Speed limit was probably 65. Officer says one number and the natural tendency is to spit out another. Like no, I was doing 77. Busted. Okay, one ticket for 12 coming right up. 😆
Not defending the cop, because his ego is obviously very fragile, but the argument could be said for wanting a tinted window down all the way because it makes it easier for the officer to see what the occupant is doing with their hands. That being said, his windows aren't that tinted, and with cops like this going around, it's no wonder people don't feel safe around these guys. So many of them are downright mentally disturbed.
I understand where the cop is coming from. This could be a felon with a gun and the officer is walking up to black windows. Citizens and cops need to meet in middle.

You can tell by how flustered the cop gets that he really thinks people just have to do whatever cops say. And all the lies when he says he can make it into a much bigger thing but he won't. He knows he can't; he's full of it
He can very easily make it a bigger thing xD You'd swear the cop was actually beating the sh!te out of him with these comments. He asked for a WINDOW To be rolled down. Build a bridge, and get over it tf
@@AceFaz And how dare that driver have the audacity to defy his orders right? Because imposing absolute authority and building a bridge are the same thing

What if the driver was lying about recording his speed? Also does it take the top speed of that day? Or another day? Hell could he just set it so it won’t ever change so he can get off with speeding? Ah but the coo imposing diplomatic orders to simply roll down his window is the Kim of this nation, yea y’all got authority problems. Too scarred by the good cops to trust anyone. It was literally a speeding ticket, he has nothing else and wasn’t intending to do anything else beside either give him a warning, or a ticket…
Every single person should get dash cams for both front and rear; protect yourself against insurance and auto accident scams and interactions with everyone else (including LEOs).
This is wise information, here in the UK the police are just as bad if not worse when it comes to lying and manufacturing a situation and we do not have the 5th so silence its often taken as admitting guilt and will get you arrested for what ever reason they choose, but also the roads are increasingly full of accident scammers, as in people that will cause an accident and then blame you to cash in on payouts / compensation, it happened to me recently and i stopped at lights there was a scooter in front with a passenger , the passenger got of and the rider intentionally slammed the bike back into my car and at the same time the passenger threw herself at the windscreen smashing it, there was a 3 thrd person an accomplice to the scam it turns out that was acting as a pedestrian on the path and witness to the supposed accident, had I not had a dash cam I would likely have have be convicted of dangerous driving and been libel for so called medical costs / compensation and vehicle damages, however i had a dash cam but i did not say till the police arrived and then made it clear that i could let them see it instantly, as a result the crash scammers where all arrested and sent to jail. So I recommend everyone to get a dash and rear cam for your protection and that of others
Agreed even having a dash cam in case of accidents is a must i was in an accident where i hit someone from behind i was going the speed limit and the guy that i hit all of a sudden just came to a complete stop there was no one in front of him he wasnt turning and the cloest traffic light was a mile away the guy was in a truck with a steel bumper so nothing happened to his truck and my car was totaled the guy apparently just got out of the hospital the day before from being in there a week or so from having a stroke and losing feeling in his legs i ask the guy in front of the cop if he should be driving under those conditions and he said the hospital never told me not to and because of that i was at fault i ask the cop if theres anything he can do because clearly the reason why the guy stopped in the middle of the road was because he was losing feeling in his legs again or having a stroke and he said unless the hospital to him not to drive then he has every right to be on the road
"Why don't you like to have your window down?" "Because I've heard police and DA's argue that rolling your window down is considered authorizing police to search your vehicle, and I'm not yielding that right."
I've told my daughter, who is a new driver, that if she gets pulled over for some reason she does NOT have to roll the window down all the way. There are times (granted, rare) that someone will impersonate an officer and having the window down all the way can be a safety issue. A crack is enough to talk and pass over paperwork.
I understand being scared of imperaonators. But if they have a clearly marked car and uniform it is very rare to be a impersonator. Not rolling down the window all the way can just antagonize an officer. Sure you don't have to but it is being courteous. The little things add up just like this officer said.
@HICKFARM , if I was pulled over by police I honestly would not have a clue if he was an imposter or not as I have no idea or interest in what they dress like or be able to identify a real police vehicle.
Pardon my ignorance on the matter, but, if the guy knew that the dashcam registered a legal speed then, why not just answer the questions issued by the officer? How can he get incriminated after that? What’s the risk he was tryin’ to avoid there by remaining silent?
@@Pako1093 Police are professionals at incriminating people. I've watched videos where someone was pulled over on a pretext, and the cop used the driver's nervousness as an excuse to search their car for drugs. I've seen many go on "fishing expeditions," trying to get the driver to admit they were doing something illegal. I don't think you can choose to remain silent, then answer a few questions, and then be silent again. Lawyers advise drivers to say NOTHING to the police. Your words CAN and WILL be used against you.
This makes me love those 1A auditor guys who just tell cops "You're dismissed," LOL. Free bonus: Your reason for not opening your window all the way is that "You're afraid a bee might fly in and sting you, and you might have a severe reaction to it."
I don't think the guy is actually a bad cop, but more a cop who is used to people complying immediately. He's gotten too used to telling someone to do something and people listening to the authority he has. Many people do this, just go along with what the cop wants because they don't wanna make things potentially worse. Honestly, the cop just got insanely defensive. The guy speeding was also defensive, even if he was within his legal right to be so, which didn't help a cop who, again, is likely used to immediate compliance. What started out as a cop's attempt to simply enforce the rules and likely just scold the person speeding, turned into a war of two people arguing over an extremely silly reason. Rolling down the window all the way would not have caused any problems, but at the same time, keeping most of the window rolled up wouldn't cause problems either. Once the cop was informed that the person had a dash cam that recorded his speed, the cop simply should have given the man the ticket. If it was a false charge (Always possible, but from the tone of the cop's voice unlikely), the man would have had evidence to fight back. If the charge was true, it would have ended the same way regardless. Cops really shouldn't drag something out just because they feel they have authority. It doesn't mean the cop is a bad cop by itself, but it's still an abuse of power and petty at that. Even cops with good intentions but bad habits should be reprimanded.
James was running this convo. James: “Are we operating under the bounds of the laws?” Officer: ‘Yes but you’re annoying me.’ Is essentially how the convo went.
It's not that he's annoying the cop, it's that the window thing looks suspicious. The cop could interpret that as "I don't want you to see my hidden gun", or whatever. In his mind he's thinking "what is this man guilty of, that he's not complying with an officer on this small request?"
@@curanp2 Cops should always be cautious no matter if they're dealing with a over-cooperative guy or not. The guy could've complied to the officer and still shoot him when he turns his back. Actually, I think someone who acts overly respectful and cooperative looks more suspicious as they look like they're trying so hard to "act normal", like they're clean, which may be true but if you know you did nothing wrong you don't feel the need to make it so obvious trying to get the cop's acceptance. If the guy is so sure about his good doing that he won't accept unlawful orders, nothing inspires more security than that.
@@reclutacontramontina5354 so next time I'm stopped by the cops I should question every order and be as uncooperative as possible, that's how the cop will know I'm a law abiding citizen, right?
@@curanp2 The fact itself that you know how the laws work and when an officer is entitled or not to order you to do something tells any honest cop all they need to know about you, as there isn't a more law abiding person that the one who knows the law in depth, what he can and cannot do. So if the cop was a honest public servant and not a lying egotistical being, he'd have stopped with the window arguing and proceeded to do his real job.
@@reclutacontramontina5354 evidently we disagree on what being confrontational means. If I was a cop and somebody went "I don't have to roll down my window" believe you me, my first thought would not be "woah, impressive. A law abiding citizen that has taken the time to study the law and know his rights. I better make sure he continues on his way" 😂 No, I'd be very suspicious. Why is he refusing such a minor request? Sure there's no law forcing him to roll down the window, but there's also no reason not to other than "I don't want to." Unless the reason is "I don't want to...because I have something you could see if I rolled the window all the way down." So basically, to me that signals danger, and I would definitely imagine he's up to something nefarious.
I feel like this cop is putting himself in unnecessary risk, if he is interviewing a suspect of a crime and he continues to meander on a window -- that could then aggravate the suspect and that suspect could then cause great harm to the officer. Over nothing. It is not necessary to keep going back and forth for no reason.
Cops love going back and forth with you like that. I've seen enough of these videos, and it's always the case. They can't let little statements go. It's like they're bored and want to waste your time so they'll have someone to talk to.
Honestly. the officer wasn't "too" bad here, but I wonder how it would've went if he didn't know his rights, good on Mr. Transparency for not incriminating himself even after the warning.
and don't forget the cop says he could make a 'bigger' deal over the window...truth is legally he can't and he also says he can tell him to do 'whatever he wants'...which should get a cop fired just for saying that.
@Ms. Kitty Katt and the irony is it clearly pissed the cop off and made him atleast think about making a big deal about it and that after he can just take him to court lol. that isn't how cops should talk to people in this country.
I doubt he would have written a ticket .. he just wanted 1 win .. just like the window .. thats just a dominance play .. cops like to play simon says .. he failed miserably and just wanted they guy to give him something so he could save face .. the cop was pretty decent as far as cops go though.. he didn't let his feelings overwhelm him

Only a B-?? He badgered this guy for eons just because of his ego being bruised with him not wanting to comply on rolling down the window all the way (if you notice, the guy even compromised by rolling it down a little bit further than he originally had it, but the cop _STILL_ pestered him about it!!)... This was beyond frustrating to watch.
Thank you many times over for your work. ✌🇺🇲
Hi AA , I am a big fan of your vids . Just got a Speed ticket from one of my local speed traps and thought I would look into it on my own behalf , so I asked New Castle City PD how to get copy of officers dash cam & body cam/ FOIA, I was told such a request needed to be made from there city building. Which I did on line. This is the basic answer I got back in an e mail from the chief of the PD(The video you are requesting is evidence in pending litigation and can only be released following an appropriate discovery request). So a citizen can't simply see what the police have on him? This is one of those tight nit PDs that
every one in the PD is talking to each other even about something as simple as a citizen wanting to fight his $97 ticket /tax. I spoke to another chief about the ticket & he assured me that his speeding campaigns where not about the money that they where strictly about safety only. In northern Delaware there are several PD that are infamous for speed traps & I assure you it is about the money (Elsmere PD , New Port PD)
@Jaison Borne I wonder if you just hate Biden or if these were Trump/Obama/Bush pigs as well
6:50 6:54 He's a twitcher, watch the officers left shoulder. They start doing that when you challenge their ego.
Update: The cop can't get any sleep since that happened, and spends all his nights wondering why on earth this guy didn't want to roll his window down.

@@utopesI think it was the exact opposite, two guys who were forced into an interaction and showed mutual respect despite starting off on the wrong foot
That's how I would describe every argument in Iowa
The fact that most officers consider it “suspicious” that a person invoke and exercise their rights is a huge problem.
@xeno when flexing rights is suspicious, that's weird.
@JigginAllDay Both sides are valid. It's just that the vast majority of us don't know our rights like Mr. Transparency; so, when you exercise them the cops view that as 'suspicious behavior.'
They all seem to take personal affront to it
The cops (good and bad) bank on the ignorance of the population. When someone knows and invokes their rights, these police are taken aback, they can't fathom that a citizen would know their rights, let alone employ them. There are exceptions to this, of course. Cops want "black and white" situations, it makes their job easier. Unfortunately (for the police), I am sure there is a massive amount of grey area in every interaction. Never mistake a calm demeanor for innocent intentions. The cop was trying to break this intelligent citizen.
Uhm nah that’s just common sense. It’s obvious that I am high as well when I don’t want them to watch my eyes or if I refuse a drug test. It’s totally normal. But that’s prolly the only right point the officer made
" i can tell you to do whatever i want " and thats the problem
Absolutely.
technically anyone can tell anyone to do whatever they want to
and it was when he was challenged he began to back down. The trooper knew at that moment he screwed up.
Should be fired for saying that
And part 2 of the problem is what is intended by "if you want to take it to court we can do that". Because he knows he really can do whatever he wants, and if someone takes the week off work, hires a lawyer, goes through the steps and pays the pricey bill, he MIGHT win in court. Which would amount to nothing. Charges dropped, but he doesn't the night in jail, court fee, lawyer fees, paid time off, back. Whereas the officer who did whatever he wants, gets paid regardless.
"I can tell you to do whatever I want." It boggles my brain people who genuinely believe this are allowed to be cops.
My response to that is always “you can tell me to take my clothes off?”/whatever that shows how red oculi is their statement is (ie not the whole they can say what they like but the implication/affirmation that I must do whatever they say regardless of my own safety, views or beliefs or even the laws etc).
I mean if they tell me to commit a crime am I obligated to?
Lol
They can probably say whatever, but that doesn’t mean you have to comply to everything

so amazing how many cops get offended when someone uses the LAW to protect themselves from self-incrimination. POLICE TRAINING NEEDS TO CHANGE
Thats why you tell the Officer "I'm going to do the same thing you would do if you were being investigated by Internal Affairs, I'm not going to answer any questions to incriminate myself. I don't have the luxury of having my Attorney or Union Rep on the roadside with me".
I don't think training would fix that. Its more about power and authority. Police feel like they are owed unquestioning and willing obedience. If people don't give them that they turn hostile because they feel like the natural order of things has been violated. Take the window thing for example. The cop gave an order and the driver refused to comply. The cop harps on it to flex his power and reclaim what he sees as lost authority. This is a problem inherent with government employees.
Its also the " screening" of who should be a police officer. Most of these guys have some kind of power kick- if they start getting people who fall to pieces when they pull them over- it starts to go to their head. Even a little bit is dangerous because they are going to get pissed when they get one that doesn't. Power like that is a very bad thing if a person is not mature enough or humble enough to understand what it is truly for.

@@ianmoseley9709 They're both being a bitch lol
But the cop is in the wrong
@@ianmoseley9709 everyone can be a bitch. Nobody should respect a policeman just because he/ she is a policeman. You don't respect someone until you come to know that person. In some totalitarian countries, there are laws that require the citizen to "respect" the police but people only pretend to respect the cops because the law said so. Now, it brings us to a question. If a law exists just to force people to respect a certain group of people, didn't that created a class system that a certain group of people have more power over the others and can enforce the law to hurt others or to gain benefit based on how the person feel? For example, I am a cop and I feel I am not being respected so I arrested someone. Now if we are to make everyone equal, we need to create a law that forces everyone to respect everyone but how do we define respect? If I walk on the street and someone doesn't like my look and says I don't respect him/ her, called the cop and arrest me, now I have to spend days and money to go to court. This is going to be chaotic. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that Hong Kong is trying to pass such a law after the general public detests the police after they sided with the CCP and destroyed the future of many kids. People stopped respecting the police and the government thinks respect can be gained not by an effort but by making a law. Simply speaking, the cops want to feel being respect but not caring if people really respect them. This is just like how it used to be back in the 1940s when Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese Imperial army. People had to bow to the Japanese Imperial soldiers or they may get into trouble. Sometimes I think humanity is going backward not forward.

Buhaha
Once time, when I was 18, I was driving 60 in a 55. I know this because it was on cruise control. I always set it at exactly 4-5 mph over. An officer pulled me over and said I was going 95. I knew this was without a doubt not true and said, “well did you get my speed on radar??”
“Mam you were going 95. Do you realize that’s grounds to arrest you?”
“But... did you get it on radar?? I had cruise control on so I know how fast I was going. No way it was 95.” (Sadly, being the first time I was ever pulled over, and being the young emotional teen that I was, I was about ready to cry and very scared lol. Didn’t help my case)
Cop: “Mam... I was parked on the side of the road and I had to go 95 miles an hour to catch up with your vehicle. You were going 95.”
“But... you were stopped. So you’re going to have to go way faster to catch up with my car-“
“Mam are you insulting my intelligence? If I had to go 95 behind your car to catch up with you, you were going 95.”
“But your car was stopped! So even if I was going 30 miles an hour, you’d still have to go much faster than my speed to catch up to my car, that’s why I’m asking if you had it on radar.”
She looks pissed, doesn’t answer, and just rudely tells me to stay put after collecting my info, goes back to her car, makes me wait forever, then issues a 150 dollar ticket, telling me how lucky I am considering she could have me arrested for such reckless speeds.
Lady don’t understand physics. Wish I’d had a dash cam and knew my rights better >.
This happened to me! I told him it couldn't be possible that I was going 80 in a 55, because my cruise control was at 60. Then he tried to get me with taking the bend at 60, and I told him there's no sign to slow down for the bend? He was just trying to get me for nothing, I also had a witness in the car so I think that's why he didn't push a ticket.
It was some bs
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately as a young teenager I didn’t know how to defend myself and I believed the cop. I was driving my dads truck at the time. I saw the cop parked off the freeway to the right before I passed him so I intentionally checked my speed. I was going between 65-70mph and the speed limit was 65. He asked if I knew why I was pulled over and I said no. He said it was because I was speeding. I was kinda flabbergasted because even if I was speeding I knew it couldn’t have been more than 5mph over and confused why he’d pull me over for that. He than said I was going like 85 or something like that. I told him my speed was 65 because I checked my speedometer just prior to passing him. He then went on this whole spiel that he was going 85 to keep up with me and my speedometer must be wrong because the tires on the truck were too big. He let me off with a warning. And then at the very end of the traffic stop without mentioning anything about this prior, cop randomly said that I was also swerving between the lines. Didn’t say I went outside the lines but that I was swerving. Unfortunately I believed him and got mad at my dad for not telling me his speedometer was broken so my dad literally took me out in the truck to test the speed using a second speedometer and showed that his speedometer on his truck is only less than 5 mph off when going at that speed. So cop was definitely lying.
I wonder if cops get bored just waiting for something to happen, so they make shit up just be busy and fill a quota?
You should have taken that to court
“I can tell you to do whatever I want” that is the biggest piece of evidence anyone needs to incriminate an officer of abuse of power
Within the boundaries of common sense a police officer can order a citizen to do whatever they would like, citizens can however challenge the order after the incident in court

I went through that same scenario a few years back in Alabama, with a Trooper trying to tell me I was doing 100 miles per hour and tried about 5 times to get me to admit it. As a grandmother, who drives like one, I laughed each time he said I was driving 100 miles per hr, as I was amused each time he gave it his best shot for my confession. A lot of traffic on the highway that day and I told him he missed his speeder, I was doing 65 and had many cars passing me, which was the truth. He finally gave up on getting a confession from me😂

Cop: "It's not a big deal. Why is it such a big deal?"
Also cop: refuses to let it go
One of the reasons why LEOs are failing at being professional/good police is they are bulldogs and aggressive ON THE WRONG THINGS. They attack and bully people doing nothing wrong while neglecting real crime/criminals. In fact, in some places, criminals are being let free and/or not pursued while the everyday citizen IS being harassed to the point of misery and costly infractions. This is classic corrupt policing and the public isn't being served; it's being served UP to politically corrupt agents who desire power over the public. This is not what our Founders desired, nor should be tolerated in a free society.
That cop is stuck on that window rolling part,cause rolling window down is a sign of respct,if you roll down your window full you are giving full respect to police,but if you just open it little just so you can talk its a sign of disrespct and all this judgement of window thing its not mine,i am telling how police thinks about this,he just wanted to be respected,but in reality respect is not given it is earned and the law enforcement in todays day and age,thy have many things but thy dont have respect of the people,and this guy makes that belief more stronger,tht y law enforceemnt doesnt have the respect of the people

Crazy, intolerable!!
US law:
27-49-107 of the arkansas code states:
-no person shall willingly
fail or refuse to comply with any lawful
order or direction of any police officer
Sentence of the Italian supreme court on the crime 337 Criminal Code "resistance to a public official"
There is no crime of resistance to a public official when the citizen engages in passive resistance. -This is the case of someone who, upon realizing that the police are arriving for a check, runs away somewhere else (think of the street vendor who, at the sight of the officers, picks up his stuff from the ground and runs away);
-or to those who, having glimpsed a checkpoint with their car and having left their license at home, make a U-turn.
-The behavior of those who do not facilitate police control operations and do not obey the officer's commands such as, for example, opening the bonnet of the car, raising their arms upwards to allow the search, that of those who refuse to unbutton their jacket or those who do not want to open their suitcases for a normal check.
-Expressions of threats addressed to the latter do not constitute the crime of resistance to a public official, when they do not reveal any desire to oppose the performance of the official act, but rather represent a form of contestation of the previous activity carried out by the public official.

I like how Mr. Transparency calls the officer on it all "we can take that to court" and the officer knows he can't actually win in court so he backs off the whole "I can make this worse", and writes a warning because he knows he don't want this in a court room. 87 in a 65, please, that's traffic cop golf, and he didn't site him .... hmmmmm.

2) never admit to anything ie speeding, drinking, etc..
3) invoke your right to remain silent
4) never consent to a voluntary search of your vehicle or search of your trunk, they need a warrant
5) asking you are being detained or free to go
6) have a dash cam!

I on e got pulled over for going 90 in a 55, far away from home. The car passing me, while the cop was directly behind me was going 90. I was going 57. The officer kept telling me that I'm going to have to go all the way out to the local courthouse to fight the ticket, and that it's be easier to pay via mail. He refused to acknowledge my belief that his radar detected the speed of the passing vehicle. Although he initially acknowledged that the other car sped past both of us, he kept skipping over my question about why he failed to pull that car over.
I drove the few hours to the courthouse and the judge threw the ticket out, and after listening to me (and my witness) speak about the pullover, he apologized, and went out of his way to say he was going to question the officer's superior over the incident. He felt that it was a failure of justice.

Genuine question, why is the fifth amendment being referred to as a privilege and not a right?
It's all just a privilege, privileges that will some day be taken away.
Mr. carl, For a clear understanding the fifth amendment is a legitimate right not a privilege… But some individuals may conceive it as a privilege when it's really not. And what the AtA narrator is describing is that in situations where you get pulled over by a police officer or questioned in the streets by a police officer to not incriminate yourself you must keep silent on certain situation… Because the law can get you on that and it always will. And clearly that's what the fifth amendment is not incriminating yourself and keeping silent. When it comes to traffic in fractions it's best to fight your tickets in court when you feel that you have been unjust. Never fight your battles with the police in the streets!
@ஜேசன் I don’t think everyone knows or understands their rights. If they do they fore go their rights and go along with whatever because police officers are in a position of authority.
Nothing in life is a right.......its all a privilege never forgot that
“Privelege” used in this sense is a legal term and is not referring to the colloquial definition that would put it at odds with a “Right”. Think of it more along the lines of “Attorney Client Privilege”. In evidence law certain information is “privileged”, and can’t be asked about. The 5th Amendment provides “privilege against self incrimination”. It’s just a matter of nuance in legal terms, it doesn’t mean that the 5th Amendment isn’t a Right.
Mr Transparency should've gotten an A+, that was perfect!
This is the problem with police trained to be suspicious rather than trained to understand and protect the rights of people. They are constantly seeking out criminal behavior, which sounds good in theory, but during police-citizen interactions having only one gear causes them to miss opportunities to build public trust. I'd argue that public trust is a much more valuable crime deterrent than the imposing force that cops have come to represent.
In the USSR nobody was innocent, and everyone was guilty all of the time of something somehow that could get you shipped off to Siberia to die in a gulag camp. Thats why this idea that everyone has to blindly obey anyone in 'authority' is so dangerous........it will only get worse.
yup!! we really need to fire all the cops we have then retrain new ones to respect, uphold and enforce our rights and put the emphasis on protect and serve not terrorize and kill!
@@mellie4174 Firing all the cops is unlikely. I think an approach that is practical and could achieve a similar end is to do retraining, and drastically change the police academy curriculum so that people fully appreciate their job as protectors of rights, even and especially during civilian- or criminal-police interaction. I'd go so far as to say we disarm the police. If you're scared, quit. OR, you can learn to talk to people and deescalate.
You assume police give a damn whether the public trusts them. Their US vs Them mentality precludes such a concern.
Well said. Slightly related, as a military veteran, it freaks me out how common the military-to-cop pipeline is, especially for infantry types. The training an infantry soldier receives, the base he builds all later training on, in my opinion is almost the exact opposite of the training and mentality you want to instill in our law enforcement. Good soldier does not equal good cop.
Hes just trying to get him to incriminate himself, this dude was smart for not answering certain questions, also a plus with the dashcam
I think this is wise for everyone if you can afford it absolutely

At what point in this day and age are cops going to realize WHY people invoke their rights?
Yea don't know why the officer was so offended.
Probably never!
I assure you they know why, & may even ask what do have to hide. This officer was persistent in trying to get the driver to incriminate himself. Officer said 87, the driver said not 21 over. Speed limit was probably 65. Officer says one number and the natural tendency is to spit out another. Like no, I was doing 77. Busted. Okay, one ticket for 12 coming right up. 😆
@WB probably never!

Cop: *Comes up and immediately begins an unnecessary argument*
Also cop: "Why are you being difficult?"
Modern policing. Creating problems where there are none.
Not defending the cop, because his ego is obviously very fragile, but the argument could be said for wanting a tinted window down all the way because it makes it easier for the officer to see what the occupant is doing with their hands. That being said, his windows aren't that tinted, and with cops like this going around, it's no wonder people don't feel safe around these guys. So many of them are downright mentally disturbed.
I understand where the cop is coming from. This could be a felon with a gun and the officer is walking up to black windows. Citizens and cops need to meet in middle.

You can tell by how flustered the cop gets that he really thinks people just have to do whatever cops say. And all the lies when he says he can make it into a much bigger thing but he won't. He knows he can't; he's full of it
He can very easily make it a bigger thing xD
You'd swear the cop was actually beating the sh!te out of him with these comments.

Ah but the coo imposing diplomatic orders to simply roll down his window is the Kim of this nation, yea y’all got authority problems. Too scarred by the good cops to trust anyone. It was literally a speeding ticket, he has nothing else and wasn’t intending to do anything else beside either give him a warning, or a ticket…
Every single person should get dash cams for both front and rear; protect yourself against insurance and auto accident scams and interactions with everyone else (including LEOs).
What’s Leo’s?
@@macymontana2245 Law Enforcement Officer = LEO
Front, rear and INSIDE! That's 3 cameras, bro
This is wise information, here in the UK the police are just as bad if not worse when it comes to lying and manufacturing a situation and we do not have the 5th so silence its often taken as admitting guilt and will get you arrested for what ever reason they choose, but also the roads are increasingly full of accident scammers, as in people that will cause an accident and then blame you to cash in on payouts / compensation, it happened to me recently and i stopped at lights there was a scooter in front with a passenger , the passenger got of and the rider intentionally slammed the bike back into my car and at the same time the passenger threw herself at the windscreen smashing it, there was a 3 thrd person an accomplice to the scam it turns out that was acting as a pedestrian on the path and witness to the supposed accident, had I not had a dash cam I would likely have have be convicted of dangerous driving and been libel for so called medical costs / compensation and vehicle damages, however i had a dash cam but i did not say till the police arrived and then made it clear that i could let them see it instantly, as a result the crash scammers where all arrested and sent to jail. So I recommend everyone to get a dash and rear cam for your protection and that of others
Agreed even having a dash cam in case of accidents is a must i was in an accident where i hit someone from behind i was going the speed limit and the guy that i hit all of a sudden just came to a complete stop there was no one in front of him he wasnt turning and the cloest traffic light was a mile away the guy was in a truck with a steel bumper so nothing happened to his truck and my car was totaled the guy apparently just got out of the hospital the day before from being in there a week or so from having a stroke and losing feeling in his legs i ask the guy in front of the cop if he should be driving under those conditions and he said the hospital never told me not to and because of that i was at fault i ask the cop if theres anything he can do because clearly the reason why the guy stopped in the middle of the road was because he was losing feeling in his legs again or having a stroke and he said unless the hospital to him not to drive then he has every right to be on the road
Even afte4 he gave him the warning he still tried to reach. Kudos to mr. Transparency you handle that perfectly
"Why don't you like to have your window down?"
"Because I've heard police and DA's argue that rolling your window down is considered authorizing police to search your vehicle, and I'm not yielding that right."
Is this true???
I've told my daughter, who is a new driver, that if she gets pulled over for some reason she does NOT have to roll the window down all the way. There are times (granted, rare) that someone will impersonate an officer and having the window down all the way can be a safety issue. A crack is enough to talk and pass over paperwork.
Ooh that makes sense! I was wondering why he wouldn't do it!
And lock all the doors
I understand being scared of imperaonators. But if they have a clearly marked car and uniform it is very rare to be a impersonator. Not rolling down the window all the way can just antagonize an officer. Sure you don't have to but it is being courteous. The little things add up just like this officer said.
@@hickfarm Wrong, you have your right to but have it all the way down, as long as you can communicate. You using your rights makes you suspicious?
@HICKFARM , if I was pulled over by police I honestly would not have a clue if he was an imposter or not as I have no idea or interest in what they dress like or be able to identify a real police vehicle.
The trooper dropped the tyrant act as soon as he learned of the speed-tracking dashcam in the guy's car.
Never trust the police.
I'd bet even money the dashcam would prove the guy wasn't speeding--or at least not by that much.
Highway robbery that makes the roads less safe for everyone, especially officers standing on the side of the road distracted by a power trip.
Pardon my ignorance on the matter, but, if the guy knew that the dashcam registered a legal speed then, why not just answer the questions issued by the officer? How can he get incriminated after that? What’s the risk he was tryin’ to avoid there by remaining silent?
Every body needs to be courteous to cops when pulled while at the same time filming them fully to keep them honest
@@Pako1093 Police are professionals at incriminating people. I've watched videos where someone was pulled over on a pretext, and the cop used the driver's nervousness as an excuse to search their car for drugs. I've seen many go on "fishing expeditions," trying to get the driver to admit they were doing something illegal. I don't think you can choose to remain silent, then answer a few questions, and then be silent again. Lawyers advise drivers to say NOTHING to the police. Your words CAN and WILL be used against you.
This makes me love those 1A auditor guys who just tell cops "You're dismissed," LOL. Free bonus: Your reason for not opening your window all the way is that "You're afraid a bee might fly in and sting you, and you might have a severe reaction to it."
Bee being the cop

"not every cop is a bad cop" he said, after trying to use his authority to force a civilian to do something unlawfully
Maybe he’s a bad cop, that doesn’t mean they all are
I don't think the guy is actually a bad cop, but more a cop who is used to people complying immediately. He's gotten too used to telling someone to do something and people listening to the authority he has. Many people do this, just go along with what the cop wants because they don't wanna make things potentially worse. Honestly, the cop just got insanely defensive. The guy speeding was also defensive, even if he was within his legal right to be so, which didn't help a cop who, again, is likely used to immediate compliance.
What started out as a cop's attempt to simply enforce the rules and likely just scold the person speeding, turned into a war of two people arguing over an extremely silly reason. Rolling down the window all the way would not have caused any problems, but at the same time, keeping most of the window rolled up wouldn't cause problems either. Once the cop was informed that the person had a dash cam that recorded his speed, the cop simply should have given the man the ticket. If it was a false charge (Always possible, but from the tone of the cop's voice unlikely), the man would have had evidence to fight back. If the charge was true, it would have ended the same way regardless.
Cops really shouldn't drag something out just because they feel they have authority. It doesn't mean the cop is a bad cop by itself, but it's still an abuse of power and petty at that. Even cops with good intentions but bad habits should be reprimanded.
@@TrxPsyche exactly, i don't know how you define bad cop, but abuse of authority in any way is bad policing to me.
*i read this comment the exact moment he said that*
@amelia the protogen ohh there are for sure some good cops out there, but he said it clearly meaning himself
I cant be the only one who was waiting for him to roll down all the windows all the way, just as the officer turned to leave.
That would be epic! 😭
missed opportunity.
I thought he should do just that. I would have.

Mr. Transparency is my spirit energy.
What a weird situation, I feel like I'm watching a twilight episode of James arguing with himself as a cop.
I know!!! They look identical. Creepy
I’m dying lol
Yes!!!
His twin brother crazy. Same hair cut
You nailed it! It's James versus James.
James was running this convo.
James: “Are we operating under the bounds of the laws?”
Officer: ‘Yes but you’re annoying me.’
Is essentially how the convo went.
It's not that he's annoying the cop, it's that the window thing looks suspicious. The cop could interpret that as "I don't want you to see my hidden gun", or whatever. In his mind he's thinking "what is this man guilty of, that he's not complying with an officer on this small request?"
@@curanp2 Cops should always be cautious no matter if they're dealing with a over-cooperative guy or not. The guy could've complied to the officer and still shoot him when he turns his back.
Actually, I think someone who acts overly respectful and cooperative looks more suspicious as they look like they're trying so hard to "act normal", like they're clean, which may be true but if you know you did nothing wrong you don't feel the need to make it so obvious trying to get the cop's acceptance.
If the guy is so sure about his good doing that he won't accept unlawful orders, nothing inspires more security than that.
@@reclutacontramontina5354 so next time I'm stopped by the cops I should question every order and be as uncooperative as possible, that's how the cop will know I'm a law abiding citizen, right?
@@curanp2 The fact itself that you know how the laws work and when an officer is entitled or not to order you to do something tells any honest cop all they need to know about you, as there isn't a more law abiding person that the one who knows the law in depth, what he can and cannot do.
So if the cop was a honest public servant and not a lying egotistical being, he'd have stopped with the window arguing and proceeded to do his real job.
@@reclutacontramontina5354 evidently we disagree on what being confrontational means. If I was a cop and somebody went "I don't have to roll down my window" believe you me, my first thought would not be "woah, impressive. A law abiding citizen that has taken the time to study the law and know his rights. I better make sure he continues on his way" 😂
No, I'd be very suspicious. Why is he refusing such a minor request? Sure there's no law forcing him to roll down the window, but there's also no reason not to other than "I don't want to." Unless the reason is "I don't want to...because I have something you could see if I rolled the window all the way down."
So basically, to me that signals danger, and I would definitely imagine he's up to something nefarious.

The driver did a fantastic job of mirroring the trooper's own wording back against him.
I feel like this cop is putting himself in unnecessary risk, if he is interviewing a suspect of a crime and he continues to meander on a window -- that could then aggravate the suspect and that suspect could then cause great harm to the officer.
Over nothing.
It is not necessary to keep going back and forth for no reason.
badgering on too
Cops love going back and forth with you like that. I've seen enough of these videos, and it's always the case. They can't let little statements go. It's like they're bored and want to waste your time so they'll have someone to talk to.
Turned it into a pissing competition
@Goose Papoose yep, cops have made it so that people have to be defensive around them, then they question why people are defensive around them.
@@breadfan_85 **surprised Pikachu face**
Honestly. the officer wasn't "too" bad here, but I wonder how it would've went if he didn't know his rights, good on Mr. Transparency for not incriminating himself even after the warning.
and don't forget the cop says he could make a 'bigger' deal over the window...truth is legally he can't and he also says he can tell him to do 'whatever he wants'...which should get a cop fired just for saying that.
@Ms. Kitty Katt and the irony is it clearly pissed the cop off and made him atleast think about making a big deal about it and that after he can just take him to court lol. that isn't how cops should talk to people in this country.
If the civilian didn't have a camera he would of gotten a ticket for sure.
He was trying to find something so bad, pretty sure it would’ve went bad
He like e rolled the window down lol I dont see why the driver made it so hard
"I'm not gonna walk back there and write you a ticket."
Riiiiiight.
Yeh, the fact is, this cop could write a ticket up to 1 year after the incident occurred. That's the usual statute of limitations on infractions.
I doubt he would have written a ticket .. he just wanted 1 win .. just like the window .. thats just a dominance play .. cops like to play simon says .. he failed miserably and just wanted they guy to give him something so he could save face .. the cop was pretty decent as far as cops go though.. he didn't let his feelings overwhelm him
