Back in 1982 my friend and I were 16 years old and in his 1969 GTO and we were heading over that bridge to island. Back then it was a "different" setting but it had a nice aquarium to go visit. My friend decided to light up the tires on the bridge and this quickly caught the attention of a Detroit police officer. As we got on to the island the cop was quickly heading towards us and we notice a sea of chrome and black leather as there had to be over 300 Harleys and some of the meanest looking humans on the planet. My friend yelled.."We're going in there" and we started driving down the road with the bikers parked on both sides. The cop that was following us stopped his car, turned off his lights and backed out. So now we are in with hundreds of bikers giving us the evil eye... What to do? We quickly decided to start pointing out bikes loudly saying "Oh man! Look at that one, Oh! check that one out" So the bikers figured that we were just some kids that wanted to ogle their rides so we slowly wormed our way through them and decided to get off the island before our luck ran out.
Those were the days when GTOs, Charger RTs, AMC AMXs, Mustang Mach 1s, Torino GTs... were all cheap and plentiful. Little did we know back then to just buy a bunch and stick them in an old garage somewhere for 20 years, lol. But man... did we have fun or what? Still miss my 66 Chevelle SS396!! 👍🏽🍻
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 They really weren't "cheap " back then, money just went further. You know the old saying, "What's collectable today, is what you threw away yesterday"
You were honest with him. Loved your “I’m stupid remark. And how respectful you were. Honesty. No arguing with the officer. You both did the right thing. God bless bth of you.
Your attitude and how you approach the situation is so important and it means something about the outcome. We have seen so many of those situations escalate into something violent when they didn't have to. Well handled by both parties
I had a similar experience not too long ago. I was on a service call and i got pulled over for rolling through a stop sign. The LEO asked me why i didn’t stop for the sign and i told him the truth. I said “I’m sorry , but i was looking for an address and i didn’t even see the stop sign”. It was on a secluded street that has little to no traffic except for the residents that live there. So he politely gave me a verbal warning and sent me on my way. Cool officer. That night at dinner, i asked my brother “why did you even bother to pull me over in the first place”…we laughed.😂
From the many videos I’ve seen, motorcyclist/bikers are given the most crap by cops but are universally the most polite. Finally, a police officer that returns the favor.
@@DetroitNinja Honesty goes a long way, especially when you admit and accept the fact you made a mistake. Bonus points for being polite and cordial on your part towards the officer. 👍😀👍 And you’re absolutely right, having your registration and insurance up to date does go a long way.

Telling an officer "I'm stupid" as a reason why riding a motorcycle in a bike lane sounds extremely reckless. Something simple could have been said like "I made an honest mistake".@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059
Lots of comments on the CO. It's been my experience over 55 plus years, that Conservation Officers are the most polite. And yes they can cite you for traffic violations. Props to both, the CO for the usual degree of professionalism, and the biker for owning his intake at the onset. Both of you stay safe.
If you knew anything about the Michigan DNR, you would know they have absolutely no problem writing tickets. It's actually a rare occasion when they dont.
Glad to see the stop. California is the only state where lane splitting is legal, but you wouldn't guess it from the number of people doing it, and in NO state is using the bike lane legal.
@@troyjollimore4100 What other states? I know in a lot of other countries it is, but I thought it was just Cali.. I know a few states are trying to pass legislation, but I don't think any are signed yet?
Although he has arrest authority and is a state law officer, he is a conservation officer better know as a game warden. In my experiences with them, they usually are not on a power trip. I did say usually because I have run into one who was and I paid the fine. This warden probably just wanted to inform the bike rider of the situation and wasn't going to give a citation. It would have been different if there had been anything wrong with the guy's info.
Well, if you know you are in the wrong, and you've been caught, then of course you do what is required of you when stopped by Law Enforcement. You could have also chosen not to answer any questions and just present your documents. . . . . . . you do have that right. Always remember, anything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST YOU in a Court of Law. A nice Cop today is a bad Cop tomorrow, so it is best to just limit your interaction as required and within the confines of the Law.
Should of gave you a ticket, because it won't be long until this jerk pulls this somewhere else. The ticket will serve him right, he is not better than anyone else he needs to know it.
That was a funny answer but a great way to admit that he was wrong for doing what he was doing. Honestly if you treat the officer with respect a lot of the time you can get away with tickets. I can't even tell you how many times I talked my way out of a ticket just by being friendly and laughing and joking around with the officer, While hes asking me for my information.
I’ve been pulled over or had over 50 interactions with police in my life and every single time was like this. It’s all in our own actions and respect that creates the scenario. God bless the blue I just want to add that 10 times out of those interactions I was going to jail and behaved in a manner that still got me respect from police. We have to take our licks especially when it is our fault but take our licks and learn and do better. Took me a long time but I got there lol
This Officer was excellent. Not just because he let the kid off., but because he read the room. The kid admitted fault, didn’t make excuses, and the officer knew it wasn’t the crime of the century. Utilizing all factors, he tossed the kid a bone. Not all officers are tools
A couple of good comments on here about policeman and kid having a good interchange. I agree. BUT, kid was also respectful from the start. I;ve seen a lot of those Auditor videos where they are complete jerks.
2:10 "..the only beach for 25 miles.." .. 25 miles, lol, absolutely NO shortage of lakes, beaches, etc.. in this part of Michigan .. hundreds of public access lakes.
Belle Isle does it jam packed, I try n stay away those days, but I need to go hang out there soon too, it calls/draws me back all the time. I just found ur channel, cool to see another Detroit RUclipsr around like myself..🙋♀️
First police officer I’ve seen in a video that didn’t act like a tyrant. Kudos to this officer. He needs a big pat on the back doesn’t let his job or the badge or the gun go to his head.
Speaking as a retired LEO, 9 times out of 10, if you are honest and respectful to the officer who is merely doing his job, you will get a break unless you have outstanding warrants.
Question: What is so important in your life, above others, that you have to be in a hurry and ride your bike like that to begin with? I ride and I never feel as though I am special and can’t wait in traffic like everyone else. As a fellow rider, it makes me angry, I believe it makes others feel the same, too, in those cars.
@@bridgetblue3738 True, I saw the video. He was sorry he was caught. I bet he still drives like this… As a rider, I watch many videos of other bikers to see how not to drive and many drive like this, drive down the middle (lane split), pass within the same lane around others, FAST, etc. I do make mistakes, yes….😊😉😒
And the cop even tried to give him warning. But he chose to ignore the cop truck AND the law. Then he admitted, he knew he was breaking the law. And the cop still didn't write him up? He should play the lottery after that.
Apparently you don't ride. Most motorcycles are air cooled and overheat in traffic. He could have lane split to keep it cool. You don't ride so you don't know that either
@@dougbingham1085 Don’t assume. ‘05 HD FLSTC . Yes, they do, you’re right. But, I still don’t ride like this. Wait in line and go with the traffic it isn’t stopped. Been in long waits in various traffic, still doesn’t mean you have to ride like this… I don’t live in a state that allows lane splitting. Again, you’re assuming it is allowed where this is at… If it is then he may have. I will assume it isn’t legal or he probably would have done that… It is still illegal. Obviously, the cop was nice, but it doesn’t mean he couldn’t have given a ticket.
He has statewide jurisdiction to include traffic enforcement on all Michigan roadways. In fact, Michigan conservation officers have more jurisdiction than your typical officer.
Uh, wrong. Motorcycle is a "motor vehicle" a bicycle is powered by pedaling. Both have two wheels but that's the only similarity. Ebikes are blurring the distinction but a motorcycle is not allowed in bike or bicycle lane.
Funny fact but if you are unlucky enough to get stopped for a moving violation in Detroit by the city police having a suspended drivers license can work in your favor. Doing the paperwork for a suspended driver is considered to be a waste of time so the cop will tell you to park the car. If your license is good they will give you the ticket. The MSP on the other hand will tow your ride and write you up for everything that they can.
Every time I’ve been pulled over I owned up to what I was doing wrong been polite and either got just a warning or a reduced ticket that was pretty much no big deal.
See but the problem is not every bike can wait like that like everyone else because it will overheat and blow a gasket …any old and air cooled Harleys and some sport bikes .
Motorcycles should be allowed to do what you're doing. As long as you're not endangering someone. It's for your own convenience and your own safety from being locked between vehicles and being part of the traffic jam.
The police officer was respectful and dealt with the situation appropriately, the motorcyclist needs to abide by the road rules and take your helmet off when speaking with the officer. But this does demonstrate why most of the world allows motorcycles to filter through traffic. I have no idea what the law is in this city/state, but there is no need for motorcyclists to be held up in this circumstance or put themselves at risk of being rear ended and it would eliminate the need for using the cycle lane. Also wear an appropriate jacket.
I had the same thing happen to me, when I got stopped for not wearing my seat belt. He asked why and I said "Brain Fade". He laughed, gave me back my license and said don't do it again.
You cannot pass on the right, ever. I've known that since I was 16. Such a long time ago. I'm in Cali so its is legal to split lanes and always has been although never on the side of the road or emergency lane on the right, period.
As a cyclist and motorcyclist, this is the kind of stuff that puts a target on motorcyclists backs. If you want to ride in the bus lane, buy a bus, and if you want to ride in the bicycle lane, dust off that Schwinn and get in shape. I'm assuming you stay off the sidewalks. Why? Apparently it's your god-given right to ride on any square inch of pavement you choose to.
Is it illegal? Never been to Michigan, but in California, when traffic is backed up, you can split the lanes on a motorcycle, not sure what the local rule is for a bike lane. Honesty is good, but he may not have done anything wrong.
@@40intrepid yes that was the best and most direct route. The org I was contracting with used to do cookout in the park. The bike made it easier navigating around and trying to find them ;) Alot of people do not know that Belle Isl Park is bigger than NYC Central Park. And it use to have some simular crimes. I seen the aftermath of a murders, an attempted rape, car break-in and once their was car jacking right on the bridge and the suspect got ran over.
Michigan law, air cooled motorcycles are allowed to ride down the side of the road during traffic to prevent overheating, I believe you’re supposed to stay under 15 mph I’ll have to look it up again. The more you know 👍🏻
@@davebrooks3161trying to bypass all the traffic while riding his MOTORCYCLE. Did you actually watch the video or just assume he was on a bicycle because he was in the bike lane?
Remember Belle Isle, Boblo Island and Riverview Amusement Park from the 80s? The zoo at Belle Isle. Ice skating on the pond, heading towards the light house. Detroit PAL hockey, football, baseball and etc.
Easy for the cop to complain - after all HE'S the one sitting in the air conditioned truck. The guy on the moped or motorcycle or whatever it was wasn't harming anyone in spite of sweating up a storm in the heat. He wasn't riding dangerously. The cars didn't seem to care one way or the other. The only one who was bothered was the guy with the gun. Why is it always like that?
If the lane is empty use it reduces emissions good for the environment good for the planet unlike the huge gas guzzler the cop was driving leaving a massive carbon footprint for one person
Professional officer and respectful citizen. Well done folks.

I have no idea what the law is in this city/state, but there is no need for motorcyclists to be held up in this circumstance or put themselves at risk of being rear ended and it would eliminate the need for using the cycle lane. Also wear an appropriate jacket.
Imagine that a respectful stop and conclusion...
I had the same thing happen to me, when I got stopped for not wearing my seat belt. He asked why and I said "Brain Fade".
He laughed, gave me back my license and said don't do it again.
You cannot pass on the right, ever. I've known that since I was 16. Such a long time ago. I'm in Cali so its is legal to split lanes and always has been although never on the side of the road or emergency lane on the right, period.
Whats the big deal, he wasn't hurting anything cops just mad because he can't do it.
Good thing you were recording Good been different situation when you see You recording
As a cyclist and motorcyclist, this is the kind of stuff that puts a target on motorcyclists backs. If you want to ride in the bus lane, buy a bus, and if you want to ride in the bicycle lane, dust off that Schwinn and get in shape. I'm assuming you stay off the sidewalks. Why? Apparently it's your god-given right to ride on any square inch of pavement you choose to.
Another one sample. Detroit police officers is the best👍👍👍 Respect
July 2024, the Big Slide is back!!
Not the same. I rode it last weekend and it’s slowwwww compared to when it reopened 2 years ago and it made international news.
That's the DNR on his way to patrol the beach
See, no one got killed!! Why can't some people just comply and be respectful??
Is it illegal? Never been to Michigan, but in California, when traffic is backed up, you can split the lanes on a motorcycle, not sure what the local rule is for a bike lane. Honesty is good, but he may not have done anything wrong.
Splitting lanes is a benefit of riding a bike. I don't know why it was a problem to him.
He wasn't lane splitting he was riding in the bicycle lane. Driving in a bicycle lane is illegal for a motor vehicle in California.
Can't split in Michigan.
Splitting lanes is not the same thing as riding in lanes marked specifically for a certain type of traffic, like bus lanes or bicycle lanes.
"You recording ?? yeah I am....Ok then I'm not going to beat the piss out of you......
Hello! Would it be okay to use it in moto edit? Full credited of course
I used to bike to Belle Isl from 13mile +Gariot , I love those days back in the early 90s in Detroit but only in the spring/summer time.
Did you take Gratiot to E.Grand Boulevard to the bridge? I live at Ten mile and Hayes, thats how I usually get to Belle Isle.
@@40intrepid yes that was the best and most direct route. The org I was contracting with used to do cookout in the park. The bike made it easier navigating around and trying to find them ;)
Alot of people do not know that Belle Isl Park is bigger than NYC Central Park. And it use to have some simular crimes. I seen the aftermath of a murders, an attempted rape, car break-in and once their was car jacking right on the bridge and the suspect got ran over.
Michigan law, air cooled motorcycles are allowed to ride down the side of the road during traffic to prevent overheating, I believe you’re supposed to stay under 15 mph I’ll have to look it up again. The more you know 👍🏻
Professional policing. 👀😎
I get aggravated at bicycles, they want the same rights as cars but most refuse to stop at a stop sign.
He was on a motorcycle…why are you dragging bicycles into this?
@@forrestegan why was he in the bike lane?
@@davebrooks3161trying to bypass all the traffic while riding his MOTORCYCLE. Did you actually watch the video or just assume he was on a bicycle because he was in the bike lane?
@forrestegan yes I watched it motorcycles can stay in line like EVERYONE else does.
@@davebrooks3161then why on earth were you complaining about bicycles when he wasn’t riding a bicycle? smh
Remember Belle Isle, Boblo Island and Riverview Amusement Park from the 80s? The zoo at Belle Isle. Ice skating on the pond, heading towards the light house. Detroit PAL hockey, football, baseball and etc.
Went to a wedding on Belle Isle. We drove a old Chevy Cavalier. Never felt so out of place when we pulled up the driveway of that large Mansion. 🙄
We found the one cool cop.Belle isle- the first time I saw a black squirrel was there😅
That's a hell of a good police officer
i was stupid .. cop be like ... lol ok fair enough ... does a check no warning isued just a talk ... good policing
Easy for the cop to complain - after all HE'S the one sitting in the air conditioned truck. The guy on the moped or motorcycle or whatever it was wasn't harming anyone in spite of sweating up a storm in the heat. He wasn't riding dangerously. The cars didn't seem to care one way or the other. The only one who was bothered was the guy with the gun. Why is it always like that?
You were honest & he cut you a break.
Never admit to anything. And certainly never agree with a cop that you did something wrong.
IT WAS A BIKE LANE! HE'S ON A BIKE!!
Im from Detroit and bele isle is not the only beach within 90 miles that cop must not be from Michigan
He said 25 miles. Your ears are as bad as Detroit's neighborhoods lol
Estral beach, Metro beach, Kensington, not to mention a zillion small lakes.😄
It’s quite rare to see a decent cop ty officer
Just takes mutual respect is all. ALL Americans should try that with one another.
If the lane is empty use it reduces emissions good for the environment good for the planet unlike the huge gas guzzler the cop was driving leaving a massive carbon footprint for one person
The lane is for bicycles only.
@@duryl that's the main problem
Bad ass police pickup.
The rare times I have to or do talk the the Police I treat them the way I want to be treated, it's pretty easy!
No, don't just wait in line. It's not 4 wheels. It's 2. It's NOT the same.
No ticket because he didn't catch you fishing.
