I really regret turning off the camera after handing him my paperwork.. he was less than a minute in his car. I don’t think he had time to run my license and it came back.. I think what happened was, he realized overreacted and noticed the camera on my head… I’d hate to think what he would’ve done without the camera on.. I am not dismissing what I did, but his overreaction was above the top
You made a mistake but you handled it very well. You followed his instructions and you stayed calm so the situation didn’t escalate. Good job and apologizing at the end didn’t hurt. I think he had started to calm down a bit and that was because you had stayed calm and did as you were asked and you didn’t escalate the situation
You're lucky he had a more urgent call to get to. Law Enforcement is cracking down on drivers not moving over for Emergency Vehicles across the country.
You can't always move over if you have a car to your left which as soon as you signal the cars wanna jump out there......by your comment please don't ever drive a truck you'll hit somebody...
First Big Mistake was you Never, Ever, Ever, Ask the Officer to “Please Calm Down”. Best thing to do is keep your Mouth Shut and let him do the Talking. 🙏
Sometimes when the sun is rising behind you it can be hard to see even with sunglasses, but should definitely be able to hear a siren. Looks like this was in Virginia.
I'm glad I decided not to become a truck driver. I went to Schneider truck driving school in 2001 but decided it wasn't for me and I dropped out. I feel for you guys and gals being harassed by the cops on a daily basis. I don't know how you all do it. Kudos to you all and thank you for delivering the goods.
Lights and sirens for a mile the officer said , so if you are traveling at 60 miles an hour that is 1 minute to cover 1 mile ,how often do you look in your mirrors , if he is right behind you ,you will not be able to see him . I rest my case .
@@VICRAM809 As a ex lgv driving instructor here in the UK i agree , but in the real world with all the other things we have to check whilst driving , speed ,gauges ,sat nav it is very easy to extend that period of time .
@@Richiecorner65 I'm an ex-driving instructor as well and I always tough my students what I learned; I would let them slide between 10 & 15 seconds, but that's all.
You handle that very well. He was looking for you to be angry. Anger breeds anger. Good job JB and we bless the patrolman in love. God bless him and his family. ❤
Nobody is perfect and a mile without checking your mirrors is too long. As a truck driver, I have a lot (not all) to do with what's in front of me but I always want to know what's coming up on me.
If I was the police officer I would be asking you the same thing. There's no reason why you can't pull to the over unless it's not safe to do. You don't drive with tunnel vision. And always keep your eyes open.
You know you saw him. Move over, I drive trucks also, and if I’m on the side of the road the truckers and 4 wheelers 40% never move over. Last emergency someone took out one of my triangles.🤬🤬🤬🤬
First off, Johnny Boy, you handled that PERFECTLY! The officer didn't handle it properly. We can't always see what's behind us at the drop of a dime. To me it's just another case of law enforcement going too far.
That’s not right the way the office treated u sorry Johnny u when thought that wow, we need to treat are drivers with respect without are truck drivers this country would stop
@@24juan68 yeah he treated Johnny like is was a criminal my god, I been watching his videos for years a great driver and a great human being, just cause u have a batch doesn’t give you the right to talk to people that way he needs to learn some patience
The poor " Road Pirate ". He was just running " lights and Sirens " on his way to give a family man a $450.00 ticket for going 2 miles an hour over the speed limit. Good Job John.
I have more respect for JBG than the officer. Most, not just many, officers have a chip on their shoulder because people don’t bow down to them. You have rights, don’t give them up because the officer had a bad day. I respect police but they are not to be given carte Blanch to have a little hissy fit because you didn’t see his car.
California Highway Patrol Officer who later murdered a young lady was the same guy who gave me a ticket back in 1985. Craig Peyer gave me a ticket for following too close. He was on the side of the road giving someone else a ticket when a motor home going 45mph pulled out in front of me as I was in the passing lane. I blew the horn at the motor home, and eased up to the motor home instead of slamming on my brakes and possibly jackknifing the truck. Peyer saw (and heard me) and jumped in his car and pulled me over. Said I was tailgating and I tried to explain to him what happened and he never said a word after my explanation . Didn't speak one word to me and just gave me the ticked. Saw him on the news months later arrested for murder. Some cops are great, some are not.
I agree that the cop was more agitated than he should have been, but as both a current cop and and a CDL License holder and former driver, it isn't a good idea to tell the cop to calm down even though I agree he should have bee more calm. The bottom line is writing a ticket is totally up to the officer, so the best response is to just let him say what he is going to and eat a little humble pie.
You had the sun in your mirrors... and he was over 100 feet behind you. That cop wasn't very bright to not notice that... but then again, they pull from the bottom of the gene pool
I think truck drivers probably know more than anyone what’s it’s like being on the side of a highway when vehicles go flying by some people will not move over when they see a vehicle on the side of the road doesn’t matter what kind. I know John moves over I’ve seen him do it many times he just missed it this time.
I agree driving thru VA can be a bit challenge with the mountains&sun glare in morn&eve plus all the noise. Here in NJ "everyone stays in slow lane unless u pass", at least thats the rule..but doin? Thats another topic.
And you need to learn to spell siren ......you weren't there so you don't know if John could even get over in a timely manner....it's a 80,000 lb truck you don't just whip it over ...... think before speaking
John im confused slightly was the cop already pulled over with someone or was he heading to a code3 call because on a 2 lane highway i dont see no third lane so exactly what the hell you supposed to do drive on the shoulder . i understand if hes doing a stop on the shoulder you move over 1 lane that makes common sense but on a highway with 2 lanes same direction couldnt he pass you .
From what I understand, he had a code 3 he had to get to in a hurry, he claimed that I stayed on the left lane too long before noticing him… the funny thing is, if he was so much in a hurry, but he had time to stop me and gave me a sermon
Cop needs to grow up a bit. Sirens can be very hard to hear in most vehicles these days, and for many years now. All sorts of vehicles have improved sound deadening to quiet the ride. At the same time the volume of sirens has been reduced due to hearing damage for the drivers of emergency vehicles. Don't know what sort of lights were on his cop car, but if they were undercover/hidden lights they could be hard to see when as far back as a tractor-trailer rig would put him.

Telling a cop to calm down, only makes him more angry. 😂
It reminds me of the cartoon character that says, you make me angry
You admitted your mistake and handled the situation perfectly. That's probably all he wanted to hear
He is accusing you of being unprofessional whilst being very unprofessional.
John put the officer's life at risk....
How did he put the officers life at risk?

I don’t think he had time to look up my record… I think he came to his car and realized the camera was on.. He was only in his car less than a minute.
I think he changed his tune when he noticed your camera on your head. My guess is he doesn't want to be the next internet star. lol

Sounds like he was having a bad day and unfortunately decided to take it out on you. You were probably the nicest guy he met that day too!
A calm, respectful attitude aided you in your encounter Sir!
They are so hard to hear and see sometimes. I'm surprised that it seems like this has never happened to him before.
must use your mirrors more ol boy
First Big Mistake was you Never, Ever, Ever, Ask the Officer to “Please Calm Down”. Best thing to do is keep your Mouth Shut and let him do the Talking. 🙏
I’ll try to remember the next time
Cops see and hear it all. Take good care of yourself, John.
State Troopers always have "bullied in high school" energy. Don't take it personally.
Hopefully taught me a lesson to pay attention more
Sometimes when the sun is rising behind you it can be hard to see even with sunglasses, but should definitely be able to hear a siren. Looks like this was in Virginia.
Clean your mirrors.
John , I think you got lucky , seems like he had more important call
Who knows what would’ve happened without the camera on my head?
suppose to check your mirrors every 8 seconds . a mile is a long time lol
If the cop is right behind him he would not be able to see him.
Show's the benefit of having a camera on. 100% he realised he was being recorded and changed his tune.
Absolutely without the camera this would’ve turned out completely different
Exactly
Absolutely true

Their fragile little egos get hurt so easily
Ever have a bad day?

Cops have a very stressful job. He was probably having a bad day. You both ended up handling it well.

It taught me to be more vigilant
Gotta move over

They need to keep an eye on that Cop..

If indeed John drove a mile not noticing OR noticing and failing to move over then he failed Trucking 101!

As I always have sex in the past, no amount of uniform can change somebody’s heart.. welcome to humanity
Siren demonstration test in the Academy... It's baffling that he thinks you should of heard it...
I can assure you, he did not have his sirens on.. he had his blue lights on, and that was it

What is so wrong about asking someone to calm down?… if this was another human being, it would be OK right?
@24juan68 of course, if you wanted a ticket from an over zealous cop.
What you need to be a better officer
He was bullied at school... I'm authority. I have the power. Clearly, this dude can not control his emotions.
You are a professional driver and the trooper acted unprofessional but I can understand his frustration
You driving experience and driving record speaks for itself keep up the great work and those wheels turning JBG you’re a hell of a driver 👍
Just another day on the road
Don't be a bootlicker JBG. His attitude was unjustified!
What was the alternative go to jail?
I wonder how close he was following you. Cars tailgating an 18 wheeler with a 53' trailer are often invisible in the drivers mirrors.
When I noticed that he was right up my bumper
You had the sun in your mirrors... and he was over 100 feet behind you. That cop wasn't very bright to not notice that... but then again, they pull from the bottom of the gene pool

Well handled Johnny
With the sun in you mirrors? Doubtful I would have seen him either.

Nice video & i see a state troooer doing that stay safe & local time here in leesvurg va is 8:58 am
A mile takes about 60 seconds to cover. In that time frame you didn't check your mirrors once?
