Not a cop but the most fake sounding reason I have ever given is " My 3 year old is dying in the back seat and my gas tank is on E EMPTY I hit as fast as I could in case I had to coast.... "He saw my kid saw my gas tank appologized hit his lights and I followed him at an even faster speed than before to the hospital and he made sure my kid was seen instantly. When I came out of the hospital I had a full tank of gas and no cops to be seen he just disappeared into the night like BATMAN.
That is a good police officer. I had a friend here racing to the hospital get over into a turn late slightly early and was pulled over. Her child had a dangerously high fever and she begged to get a quick ticket and be on her way. He detained her for a long time as her kid deteriorated in the backseat(this kid was maybe 3). He could have checked and gotten her to the children’s hospital a mile plus away but nope he risked a kid’s life for a ticket that was dismissed.
@@pokegirl1799 I plan too all 7 of my kids have heard the story. I mean what dad doesn't want to tell the story of driving red line to get your kid help and the cops stopping and then giving you the flashing lights while you redline through town.
this is another 'this is how terrible American healthcare accessibility is' story. it's terrible, how little US government cares about stories like this. all that matters is that them and their buddies get richer. hope you're daughter recovered fully...
My mom tells the story of when I was about a year old and threw up in the car. Apparently it smelled particularly disgusting because she was flooring it to get home and got lit up by a county cop. When he came to her window, she started begging him to write the ticket as fast as possible. He got a sniff, started gagging, saw me covered in vomit, and just waved her to go on.
Knew a guy named "K-Von" that got picked up once for shoplifting, was asked his name, and he told them, "K-von. It sounds like Kayvon, but there's a hyphen between the K and the Von." He didn't have an ID or anything, so the cops thought he was bullshitting, he ends up with a court date, and he shows up. Judge calls out "Kayvon? K-A-Y-V-O-N?" He says "That's not my name, your honor." He brought his birth certificate with him to court that day, so he takes it up to the judge, she looks at it for a bit, and she says, "So it isn't. You're free to go." I bet those cops that grabbed him were fucking LIVID.
For those that don't know the normal BGL (blood glucose level) is 80-120, so the driver's BGL being @ 40 is not great and needs immediate medical attention.
@@BarafuAlbino Yeah, as someone who lives in the US, blood glucose levels are usually displayed in mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter), as opposed to mmol/l (millimoles per liter) here. Though, they're often used interchangeably in medical settings.
I thought the fire truck was gonna pull em over for the U turn, it only makes sense that a fire truck would pull you over for actively being on fire I suppose
100%. i was a firetruck driver for 7 years in my town in the Netherlands. we constantly pulled people over for whatever we felt like. we quickly put on our police uniform, set the lights to blue, changed the color of the truck, changed the striping and went to give a long speach on why they should or shouldn't do something. when there's no incident to keep us busy, we'll just go out and find something funny to fill our time with. some times we're there to help you, sometimes we're there to prank you.
Fun fact. A friend of mine was having a very VERBAL, loud fight. His Alexa called the cops. Yes, this is what you’ve invited into your home. It can’t distinguish between violence and volume. The two people involved were treated by the cops as dangerous criminals for about an hour
Anyone that has those things and hasn't gone out of their way to disable Siri or "assistant" on their cell phone if they have one deserves it at this point.
@@cianmoriarty7345No, they don't deserve that. That is an absolutely silly statement as they are not advertised as anti-domestic abuse devices. Devices like that are also quite convenient for many cases, and for some such a convenience for accessibility purposes.
Mannn, that last one hit me hard. My ex was incredibly abusive. Im not huge, a little over average height, but very atheltic physique, with a lot of martial art under my belt. She was a tiny little thing. Couldnt reeeaaalllly hurt me no matter how much she tried. This meant that she never felt the need to hold back, and I never did anything because I knew id really hurt her if I did anything. So I kinda just brushed all the abuse under the rug. It wasnt until she flipped out in front of friends and I had to physically hold her arms above her head to stop her hitting me (even then she was kicking me and trying to bite me) then the friends pointed out that she was abusive, and it clicked. I hadnt realised I was in an abusive relationship. It just hadnt occured. Years of abuse and i just sorta, accepted it. Weird how that can happen...
As a woman, I think the fact that men can very much be the victims of abuse or rape is something that really needs to be normalised. Rape certainly happens more to women and maybe abuse does too, I don't know (and probably no one does, because I imagine men being abused is very underreported), but it's important to realise that they can happen to any person of any gender. It's not something I have too much knowledge on, but I can imagine that it must be very hard to speak up, not just because of societal pressure, but because in all likelihood if you are a man abused by a woman and that is reported, it's going to be assumed it was the other way around. Of course, can also happen in a non-allocishet relationship as well, point is anyone can be a victim of abuse or rape.
My Dad was in a similar situation. My evil spawn-point was like that for 18 years with him. But she was the tiny woman and he was the former military man almost twice her size. It should not matter, abuse is abuse.
@@AntikythBoth physical and mental abuse seems to be more common with female perpetrators, but in terms of physical harm, women are more hurt, makes sense due to average size/muscle difference between men and women. In terms of rape, really depends on your definition. I know several men that have been threatened to have sex with them, either with fake charges or threatening to tell people rumours about them. The numbers are so hidden with men, and quite a few men aren't aware or even considering they have been sexually assaulted that we don't have any numbers.
Related to the point of diabetes mimicking being drunk, autism and adhd can also mimic stimulant use. I'm very glad that can go on IDs now! (I've definitely had cops think I'm on stimulants before, but nope, that's just my default setting, lol)
There's also a metabolic disorder where your body turns excess carbs into alcohol. People with the disorder have this baseline level of drunk that they are pretty much constantly at, so their ABV can get up into levels that would kill anyone else and barely act buzzed. It's called "auto brewery syndrome". It's quite rare, but very real.
I get mistaken for being on something all of the time. If I don’t take my meds or of if I just happen to need extra I slur and weave, talk in circles, get confused, fall asleep wherever I happen to be… then someone like the cops comes along and see all the meds on me and thinks that’s what caused it. 🤦♀️ nope it’s the opposite. Once I’m doing better it’s extremely embarrassing, especially when there are ppl like cops or drs around who just assume everyone not “normal” is on drugs. Uhg embarrassed even writing this.
A friend of mine got pulled for driving at 70 in a 30 zone, he said he was driving his dad who was having a hart attack to the hospital, the police didn't believe him at first because why didn't he call an ambulance? but 999 operator has told him because of reductions in staff (it was covid lock-down) he would be better to drive to the hospital himself, then the police gave him an escort right into the ambulance entrance at A&E, turns out his dad had torn a muscle in his chest and it wasn't even a hart attack, and he didn't get a ticket so all was good :) the police man turned up randomly at his house two weeks later to find out if him and his dad were doing OK
Once I drove through the mountains, 2 hours to my dad's place, wondering why I felt so bad. Turns out my blood glucose was clocked at 32. And I'm not a diabetic. He freaked the F out. I could have simply driven off into a ravine, and not found for a long time, if ever...That sort of stuff is very scary, and I hope police departments are aware that not everything is as it seems.
When I worked at my old job at a diner I went long periods without eating because there just wasn't time, it was an all hands on deck situation pretty much all the time. So one time I was driving home after having gone 12 hours without eating. Once I got home I realized I was lucky that I didn't cause an accident and how stupidly I drove. Thankfully did not live very far. After that I made sure to have snacks around and eat some before going to work so I don't become disoriented like I was that one time. It is terrifying.
When we were first dating my husband got a call from my parents regarding a Life alert alarm on me. He rushed over to my house in a panic, forgetting his ID and my alarm codes in the process. After setting it off and realizing the alert was false, a cop showed up to my house with her gun drawn. He babbled to her about what happened, pointing to pictures of us to prove who he was. Fortunately she believed him and it's now a funny story we still talk about years later.
When I did military service one of my roommates somehow managed to lock his key in his locker. The only solution for that we came up with was my idea to use a foldable spate, lock it in halfway folded position, so it kind of acted like a hammer and bash to lock to break it. Typically my luck our sargeant randomly walked in on me bashing at that lock of my roommates locker with a spate while he was panicking due to being late because of the delay caused by his mishab. Obviously we were quickly able to resolve this, but the initial impression of him being in underwear and me mostly in uniform slamming my spate at his locker and my initial claim of "errm, he asked me to do that" must have been pretty weird and confusing to the sargeant.
That Dutch term would likely be the "Marechaussee" (actually a French term). It derives from the word "maarschalkerie", which in term refers to the military rank of "maarschalk" (marshall). The Marechaussee are a gendarmerie (a part of the military tasked with law enforcement amon the civilian population). The pronunciation is a bit like Ma - ray - show - say.
From a friend: He got pulled over and the officer's dog smelled marijuana on him, not legal in our state currently. The friend said that it's just how he smells. (Not entirely sure how he worded it, since he told me about it months ago now.) The officer gets a sample and checks with the dog, and confirmed. He was able to go on his way following that without issue.
My aunt was arrested for the cops did think she was drunk. She was diabetic. and had passed out on the street. and they took her to jail, and ended up in coma. she was in jail for almost 2 days. After she got to the hospital she was in a coma for another week. The cops did not got get in to trouble and did not give an apology to her either
So sorry for your aunt. As someone with a type 1 diabetic mother, it baffles me that people don't think about diabetes when seeing those symptoms. I've never seen a coma caused by them, but my mother has had a lot of lows in my presence, so I know what to look for. Those cops should have been fined for endangering your aunt at minimum.
Yeah, same! Smoking was going to be banned here at an age that increases every year, so a birth year cutoff, but I think the new government scrapped it. While you can drink when you're 18 (well, when you're younger too, if your parents give it to you).
Something you learn with someone with diabetes is that if they ever have a fruity breath, test their levels. It’s a good thing to take into account for literally anyone.
Now I get that the officer can't just take your word for it :') But IKEA furniture is a completely valid reason to sound like a domestic abuser. That shit makes me do warcries that makes Mike Tyson crap his panties. Also doesn't help that you hear a lot of bonking from planks being relocated and hammers pouncing on plugs xD
I had to turn in homework and my syco cat shredded it to bits... 😓 My teacher thought I was making it up till my mom came to school holding the remains of my homework... She believed me for the rest of the year.😂
I do a lot of work with leather and fabric. I went through an airport with my sewing kit in my bag, literally going to do some leather work in a different country. The airport scanners went absolutely wild and i thought to myself "wow, someone fucked up biiiiggg time" then after a ridiculous wait a bunch of armoured airport security surrounded me and took me to a different room. I was so confused and a little scared. They asked me tons of questions in a locked room, I got so worried. Then they went through my bag in front of me. Filled with leather working tools. Of course, on a scanner, a bunch of metal shanks in wooden handles looks like i have a roll bag of knives. Everything slowly clicks into place and i start nervous laughing. Then they realise, im not dangerous, just an idiot. They go through everything, realise its all above board, nothing is actually "dangerous" they let me go through, and they were nice enough to put my bag in hold luggage for free. Had a good laugh with them, told them all about my job, showed them pictures etc. Really nice people. Still made my flight with a bit of time to spare.
I'm hypoglycemic and when my blood sugar bottoms out I tend to become extremely aggressive, like has landed me in the funny farm-jail on suicide watch even in aone of those lock down willchairs strapped in and put in a corner. Hung myself and then they did my blood work and said that was more than enough to put me in the hospital alone and was 100% affecting my mind. So gotta eat right.
how do you get diagnosed for that. I know someone who’s sugar gets low and that get pretty angry. But their doctor seeing their blood sugar at 45 did not raise any concerns. They said because she’s not diabetic she’s fine. It really doesn’t seem fine tho
@@kimberly_erin sorry for so many messages, my great grandfather I can remeber him and setting on his lap as a child and his wooden leg. He was a diabetic and heavy drinker and lost both legs by the time he died, that type of stuff and childhood diabetes are what they are worried is a direct threat to your life and they are kinda right. Don't know the age of ther person with 45 but that is low like I use to and sometimes still get. A MD will send you to a shrink and the shrink will send you back to MD and both will only offer advice, eat right and plenty of water and once again they are kinda right, but not even the shrink address the damaging effect it has on someone's personality, and the fallout it can cause. Low blood sugar will generally do 1 of 3 things 25% of the time making you sleep, that other 75% is a mixture of flight or fight and sleep..the flight or fight are 2 of the most basic things hardwired into almost EVERY! Single organism, while being educated about yourself helps alot its not something they can do for you and takes time, and some never do it. Simply put the answer you were given was the same one I've gotten an almost endless amount of times. I dont know who this person is to you but you maybe the most important person in their life, if their young don't let them fall thru the cracks in the system and if their older be armed with those results if something does happen, say a car accident, them cussing someone out or even giving someone else a bloody nose. Bless ya tho for going to bat for them like my mother did for me, the doctors may not think their life is in danger but honestly it is and your that 🍬 Life Saver(tm) in their pocket.
@kimberly_erin I’m pretty sure hypoglycemia has to do with breaking down carbs, while diabetes has to do with insulin production/release. Your blood sugar can also drop if you just don’t eat enough.
I had an insane situation where i ended up essentially drifting infront of a cop at 2 am... My car had an expired registration and inspection, plus my license had expired. I fully expected to have the book thrown at me, but I had a new set of tires in the backseat which i needed to get installed to pass inspection, which was also needed to re-register. I also had the printed "license" they give you when renewing your license. And the excuse for all this at 2am? We were out watching the meteor shower, which was true. Cop listened to my whole story, looked everything over, and just said "alright get home safe" and that was that.
I now question the sanity of a woman who literally owned a lynx like was she registered as a animal rescue specialist? Did you buy the thing from a black market? There is a lot of open-end questions there
as someone who owned a half bobcat tabby, its just as possible that she got a 'free' kitten from someone who didn't know it was a wild cat- as she stole it from the wild.
Another thing is, there is a breed of domestic cat that you could potentially mistake a lynx kitten as, it's called a Maine Coon and Lynx cubs & Maine Coon kittens look terrifyingly similar, and even as adults someone who's never seen both could make the mistake cuz they average at similar sizes. Plus, Maine Coons have fluffy fur similar to a Lynx, as well as the trademark ear tufts. Heck, a purebred Maine Coon's preferred and most common coat color/pattern is a grey tabby, which with their fluffy fur and big paws makes it kinda difficult to distinguish between them unless you know what to look for. It genuinely wouldn't suprise me if this lady just thought she had an aggressive Maine Coon, I've never heard of people trying to pass off Lynx cubs/hybrids as Maine Coons but with the similarities it wouldn't be very difficult. Trust me, I've got 2 Maine Coon mixes (1 fathered the other ironically, to a feral mother at that lol) and the only reason my Maine Coons wouldn't get confused is cuz the youngest only got the size outta it without the fluffy fur or ear tufts, and the older one's a freakin ginger (and yes, he is just as dumb as other ginger cats, he tried to jump on this ledge by our stairs and slid, faceplanted to the wall hard enough to get a bloody nose and just... sat there for a minute after landing, looking around like "wtf just happened" before my panicking mom scooped his 20 lb a°° up and took him to the bedroom to give him a look over, I had to hold in my laughter at this absurdity for like 15 mins or my mom would've killed me lol)
I was pulled over for speeding in a rural area and told the cop i was on the way to the hospital where my Granny had just had a stroke. He looked at me like “yeah right.” and asked her name. When he heard it he asked if i was kin to my uncle, who i guess he was friendly with, because he ended up escorting me to the hospital 3 parishes away.
I feel for the lynx lady, used to have a bobcat hybrid named Lycan and he was huge, muscular, and unfortunately wild enough to for a while think it was okay to bite the lips and noses of sleeping victims and later to wake me up by jumping on my face because waking me up before turned out okay. Aside from that it was nice having him and I could easily spend an hour petting him while browsing online or working at home. My mother when she was young had a less fortunate experience with some of Lycan's probable relatives as she tried to pick up some of "pretty kitties" and was scratched up for her troubles, she was the type of girl that kissed frogs hoping to meet a prince, walked around barefoot, and she still adores spiders.
We had a good one in my city a couple of years ago. The police were called by this blokes neighbor as they could hear him screaming, die, die, why wont you die and sounds like something was being slammed against the walls etc. They hadn't seen his wife for a few days and thought the worst. It turns out that the man was arachnophobic and was trying to kill a poor innocent spider......the story went international.
I worked as bar security and when dumping the trash one night the bag split and covered me in stale beer and whatever else was in there. On my way home I got stopped at a check point, they thought I was a payday! Until I got out and they noticed the pile of clothes in a bag on the passenger floor. Once it was opened, I was sent on my way.
for anyone living like the last guy. Ain't nothing to be embarrassed about in admitting that someone is hurting you. Size has barely a factor in it. shit's more psychological than anything. Get out and get the help you need. If you don't trust yourself to be able to do that, there are people willing to help. call they asses and get out. Only you can truly help yourself. If ya don take the initiative, no one will be able to help you
I heard a cop tell the story. This is how it went. The car was speeding, he went lights and chased after her. She kept speeding refusing to pull over. She gets to her house and runs inside. The cop goes to the door, and an older gentleman answers. Turns out the old lady had to use the restroom really badly so she was speeding home to use the restroom. The officer let her go
Story one I would rather have somebody call the cops on somebody yelling and putting up Ikea furniture thinking it's DV than have somebody have to live through that because somebody didn't want to get into the situation
Plot twist on recycling beer can person: turns out he keeps a bunch of crushed cans to have a legitimate alibi and excuse to drink in the car and get away with it
Back in the 1990s (in UK) I was driving home from work and the police were funneling traffic through a checkpoint looking for expired/missing tax discs. Ahead of me I saw the officer's eyes zero in on the tax disc holder which I knew did not hold a tax disc, but a couple of lines of typing on white paper. However when I got closer I saw his face fall as his anticipated 'bust' melted away before his eyes. What he saw was not the 'tax disc in the post' fake excuse he expected but the official government crown logo and the words 'Crown vehicle. Tax exempt' I just smiled gently as he waved me on. (I was in the civil service & the car belonged to the department I worked for)
I can understand cops funneling cars and looking for expired rego tags/stickers (what have you), but what are/were the tax discs all about? a way to try and penalise people for driving fancy cars or something?
@@ElNeroDiablo Here in UK every vehicle owner has to pay an annual tax, (for each vehicle owned). It is called the Road Fund Tax and in theory the money is supposed to pay for/toward the upkeep of the roads. The circular tax disc, displayed in the bottom left corner of the windscreen was (for some reason they are no longer used) essentially a 'receipt' to show that you had paid your tax for that year. The expiry date was prominently shown on the disc. It was/is illegal to have a vehicle on the road without it. The position on the windscreen was to make it easily visible to police, traffic wardens etc. These discs are no longer used & what if anything has replaced them, or even if the tax is still charged I don't know, as due to sight loss I've not been able to drive since 2000.
@@sooskevington6144 Ahh, fair. Here, Down Under, we pay for our Green Slip/roadworthiness check, Rego (to drive on the roads) and Insurances. Road Taxes come out of Fuel Taxes last I checked.
That last story. The US Army and armed service branches now take domestic abuse very seriously, even when the abuse is done by a woman. Female service members are held to the same standard as male service members, and while the standards for spouses is a but d8fferent, they absolutely will not abide their service members being abused regardless of the gender of perpetrator and victim. Rape is taken more seriously now as well, and the definition of rape in the military includes female on male forced to penetrate, which many states dont regard as rape.
Last I checked, the feds still only count the person penetrating as assault (specifically sodomy if not penile). Glad to hear the military having a wider range and I hope that expands through the country
does this assume that the service member is the victim or.... it might depend on how you read it, but what i read is that it's taken very serious if the service member is the victim. i'll go ahead and assume that it's me who's reading it wrong...
@Wall3Wapter yeah, you read it wrong. Basically, domestic abuse is taken very seriously regardless of the gender of the perpetrator and while non service member spouses aren't quite held to the same standards as service members, they are punished for domestic abuse just they'll go to a civilian court.
As a diabetic………. Yes low blood sugar feels like ive just drank more than a whole bottle of sake its fuckin crazy i also have a ton of pain meds so driving is my worst nightmare

Lacerations on the scalp? Well, at one time, we had a deeply neurotic cat (the previous owner kept her locked in the bathroom while working), and my younger brother (by 8 years) sometimes liked to throw him on top of my head. I didn't like the resulting lacerations, but they were basically harmless. On the other hand, several decades later, a cat almost killed my mother. She got up to go to the toilet, at night, the light was off, cat was black. As sometimes happens, the cat's tail gets caught under the foot. Cat is upset - can't the stupid human see her in the dark? Any half-blind cat could! And so it does what cats sometimes do: attacks the human, hacks her claws into the leg. Normally, that gets you scratches or puncture wounds. This time, somehow, the cat got at least one blood vessel. By the time I had woken up and came down, Mother was lying in a sea of blood (and that other liquid that made her go to the toilet). Still took far too long to convince her to let my sister drive her to the doctor. She never liked going to the doctor. But we really didn't have the necessary stuff to even make a reasonable dressing. (We actually used a towel.) Didn't change our love for cats, but we had an electrician install some more light switches on her way from bed to toilet. Now I'm living alone in this house, I'm definitely feeling a lack of switches on the routes I tend to take. It's not that there aren't switches, they're just inconveniently placed, where half or more than the route the corresponding lamp should illuminate is already past. The former owner clearly only had very few routes in mind.
It'd probably be better to have glucose testers (with the disposable strips) to test blood glucose levels instead of relying on breathalysers for the chance of someone being diabetic. Like; I'm pretty sure you could equip the whole fleet with OTC glucose testing kits for cheaper than the penalties of false-positives from the breathalysers that can result in civil suits against the department for "DUI" being diabetic.
How is the Ikea thing unbelievable? That cop must have never bought from Ikea. I didn't know diabetus could lead to acting drunk though! Story 13 cops are awesome lol. Last story... yeah a lot of big strong guys are actually very aware of and very careful about their strength so they end up being victims more often than not in these cases.

Story 1 reminds me of the cops who were called somewhere because the neighbor heard someone there screaming "Get back here I will kill you!" with sounds of violence. Police arrive to find the only resident desperately trying to get rid of a spider.
I used to work at a brewery, which often meant getting beer spilled on me. Just part of the job. One day I was driving my coworker home and we got pulled over for rolling through a 4-way stop. Cop immediately orders us out of the car since we both reek of beer. Then he sees we're both in our work uniforms and notices that we are walking and speaking fine. Asked a couple questions, laughed at the situation and let me off with a warning.
Tbh, with most cops, if you're respectful and forthcoming, they'll usually be pretty chill. I once got caught with weed in my car, but because I was honest and respectful, the let me off with a non-criminal disposal despite having enough on me to be charged with possession with intent to sell

I got pulled over for running a red-light in our downtown area. I didn't speed through it fast, I just couldn't stop in time. I had a bunch of stuff in my back seat, as I had just separated from my then husband. The cop pulls me over. I fully acknowledged I ran the red light. When the cop asked me why, I stated; " Do you see my back seat officer? I was afraid of being ambushed!" He laughed, shook his head, and told me to be careful and have a nice day.
I was impressed by many of those police officers. It is nice to hear of police officers who understand how important good people skills can be. Now if only the police would start getting rid of their bad apples instead of protecting them.
I once had a call about a domestic dispute because I was on the phone with one of my best friends talking/yelling angrily about what I was going to do to his fantasy football team
I have a story to ad to that last one. I have some pretty bad mental health issues that I'm managing with medication and lots of therapy, but I don't do well in relationships. Unfortunately in my last intimate relationship I fought a lot with my partner and it got violent at times. One time the neighbours called the police. By the time they got there I had calmed down, we explained the situation and the police asked ME (f, 5'7'') if I'm okay but never asked HIM (m, 6'4'') at all. He had a nasty bitemark and was definitely not okay. I am still upset about it and this was probably two years ago roughly
Motion Sickness Alert ! I love the stories, but trying to watch the video makes me motion sick. Relatively unmoving text on a moving background - > I have to stop after a couple of minutes 😥
sorry to hear that but they are forced to do it by youtube if they want to make money. if they dont an algorithm will decide the videos look too similar to previous ones or not enough activity is happening in them (as would be the case with scrolling or swapping text on a black background) and the videos will get demonetized.
This is a reminder, most cops are genuinely great, helpful and respectful. Its just just those terrible cops like the acorn shooting that get the publicity and sometimes other cops just being overly cautious as they do have to deal with actual criminals doing what they can do to try and get away with what they did. Anyway, its crazy and funny how some of these interactions went in these videos. Reminds me of that one video with a guy 'jokingly and respectfully' getting through security with clear bags of flour posing as a baker.
Liked the video at 7:18 for the mixture of respect for my humanity and the laughteri had at the fear of being cancelled at a vulnerable point in your channel
With the last addendum for Story 16: in Australia (and possibly the US), DUI laws and penalties apply to people supervising learner drivers as if they were driving (learners have zero tolerance); this not only makes it possible but plausible for someone to be pulled over for DUI in the passenger's seat, albeit under certain conditions.
In the US I’m not sure how that would work. First off in the US, what you call a driving permit we call a learners permit, and that is for somebody who is under the age of 16 years old . Allows them to drive the car providing someone 21 years or older is in the passenger seat and has a valid license . It’s for them to gain experience operating a motor vehicle . I’m not sure what would happen if the police were to stop someone with a learners permit, and find out that their passenger was drunk . I imagine the cops would possibly write the passenger citation maybe and then they would tell the driver they need to get someone 21 or older with a license who is sober to come there so they could drive the car. For a passenger to get a DUI the only way that could even happen in the United States and it depends on the state you’re in if the keys were in the ignition switch and were sitting in the car drunk. Even if the cops do write you up for DY at that point you still have your date in court where you could go before a judge you could say you were not guilty the judge would issue a court date where you and the officer would have to appear in court The officer would give his testimony, then you would give yours. The judge would decide what happens from there.
I was working on catching a colony of cats. Some were too hesitant to go in the traps for food, so I switched to catnip to lure them. Left the rest of the bag on the passenger side floor when it must have fallen off the seat. Went to drive somewhere with him, and he goes to get in the passenger side and just holds it up like, WTH. I could have gotten him in trouble if he hadn't found it. It really does look like weed if you're not paying enough attention.
Dutch military Police is marechaussee ;) which is, if you would ask me as a dutchy, the least Dutch sounding word that is actually a Dutch word 😂 it is a word we stole from the French
Toch wel Frans. De Nederlandse Marechaussee bestaat sinds 1814, de Franse Maréchaussée al een paar eeuwen langer, sinds 1191, en werd in 1791 hernoemd naar de "Gendarmerie nationale"
@@AntikythGood job! If I may ask, is there a reason you're learning Dutch? It's okay if you don't feel comfortable with telling me since it's probably a bit too personal-
This showed me a side to cops I didn't know. I'm generally more on cops' sides than most, but many of them were a lot more reasonable than I would have been. I was also surprised by how not anti-weed the cops were. Some hate cops and some love them, but this video makes me suspect cops are more chill than anyone thinks.
The catnip guy is lucky he didn't get arrested for trying to pass a fake substance as a narcotic. Just having it in the baggie alone could have gotten him arrested. Drug laws are absolutely out of control in this country
Story 4. You don't get drunk from diabetes. But yes you can have symptoms that are similar to being drunk. Just didn't like how it was phrased. But yeah having a diabetic brother and seeing what it can be like (the later story) where they get very aggressive and defensive it can be hard to spot. Also my bro would head home when like that for some reason, which sometimes meant driving.

That is a good police officer. I had a friend here racing to the hospital get over into a turn late slightly early and was pulled over.

My mom tells the story of when I was about a year old and threw up in the car. Apparently it smelled particularly disgusting because she was flooring it to get home and got lit up by a county cop. When he came to her window, she started begging him to write the ticket as fast as possible. He got a sniff, started gagging, saw me covered in vomit, and just waved her to go on.
I was once busted for shoplifting and I had a vial of rock salt in my backpack for use with watercolors. Yeah, that was hard to explain.
Knew a guy named "K-Von" that got picked up once for shoplifting, was asked his name, and he told them, "K-von. It sounds like Kayvon, but there's a hyphen between the K and the Von." He didn't have an ID or anything, so the cops thought he was bullshitting, he ends up with a court date, and he shows up. Judge calls out "Kayvon? K-A-Y-V-O-N?" He says "That's not my name, your honor." He brought his birth certificate with him to court that day, so he takes it up to the judge, she looks at it for a bit, and she says, "So it isn't.

Mannn, that last one hit me hard. My ex was incredibly abusive. Im not huge, a little over average height, but very atheltic physique, with a lot of martial art under my belt. She was a tiny little thing. Couldnt reeeaaalllly hurt me no matter how much she tried. This meant that she never felt the need to hold back, and I never did anything because I knew id really hurt her if I did anything. So I kinda just brushed all the abuse under the rug. It wasnt until she flipped out in front of friends and I had to physically hold her arms above her head to stop her hitting me (even then she was kicking me and trying to bite me) then the friends pointed out that she was abusive, and it clicked. I hadnt realised I was in an abusive relationship. It just hadnt occured. Years of abuse and i just sorta, accepted it. Weird how that can happen...
As a woman, I think the fact that men can very much be the victims of abuse or rape is something that really needs to be normalised. Rape certainly happens more to women and maybe abuse does too, I don't know (and probably no one does, because I imagine men being abused is very underreported), but it's important to realise that they can happen to any person of any gender. It's not something I have too much knowledge on, but I can imagine that it must be very hard to speak up, not just because of societal pressure, but because in all likelihood if you are a man abused by a woman and that is reported, it's going to be assumed it was the other way around.
Of course, can also happen in a non-allocishet relationship as well, point is anyone can be a victim of abuse or rape.
My Dad was in a similar situation. My evil spawn-point was like that for 18 years with him. But she was the tiny woman and he was the former military man almost twice her size. It should not matter, abuse is abuse.
@@AntikythBoth physical and mental abuse seems to be more common with female perpetrators, but in terms of physical harm, women are more hurt, makes sense due to average size/muscle difference between men and women.
In terms of rape, really depends on your definition. I know several men that have been threatened to have sex with them, either with fake charges or threatening to tell people rumours about them.
The numbers are so hidden with men, and quite a few men aren't aware or even considering they have been sexually assaulted that we don't have any numbers.

Related to the point of diabetes mimicking being drunk, autism and adhd can also mimic stimulant use. I'm very glad that can go on IDs now! (I've definitely had cops think I'm on stimulants before, but nope, that's just my default setting, lol)
My tism anxiety would, for sure, make them think i was on something 🤣😭
There's also a metabolic disorder where your body turns excess carbs into alcohol. People with the disorder have this baseline level of drunk that they are pretty much constantly at, so their ABV can get up into levels that would kill anyone else and barely act buzzed.
It's called "auto brewery syndrome". It's quite rare, but very real.
My favorite part of this is that stimulants can actually RELAX us xD
...wait, is that why sativa is ineffective for me?!
I get mistaken for being on something all of the time. If I don’t take my meds or of if I just happen to need extra I slur and weave, talk in circles, get confused, fall asleep wherever I happen to be… then someone like the cops comes along and see all the meds on me and thinks that’s what caused it. 🤦♀️ nope it’s the opposite. Once I’m doing better it’s extremely embarrassing, especially when there are ppl like cops or drs around who just assume everyone not “normal” is on drugs. Uhg embarrassed even writing this.

A friend of mine got pulled for driving at 70 in a 30 zone, he said he was driving his dad who was having a hart attack to the hospital, the police didn't believe him at first because why didn't he call an ambulance? but 999 operator has told him because of reductions in staff (it was covid lock-down) he would be better to drive to the hospital himself, then the police gave him an escort right into the ambulance entrance at A&E, turns out his dad had torn a muscle in his chest and it wasn't even a hart attack, and he didn't get a ticket so all was good :) the police man turned up randomly at his house two weeks later to find out if him and his dad were doing OK
Once I drove through the mountains, 2 hours to my dad's place, wondering why I felt so bad. Turns out my blood glucose was clocked at 32. And I'm not a diabetic. He freaked the F out. I could have simply driven off into a ravine, and not found for a long time, if ever...That sort of stuff is very scary, and I hope police departments are aware that not everything is as it seems.
When I worked at my old job at a diner I went long periods without eating because there just wasn't time, it was an all hands on deck situation pretty much all the time. So one time I was driving home after having gone 12 hours without eating. Once I got home I realized I was lucky that I didn't cause an accident and how stupidly I drove. Thankfully did not live very far. After that I made sure to have snacks around and eat some before going to work so I don't become disoriented like I was that one time. It is terrifying.

When we were first dating my husband got a call from my parents regarding a Life alert alarm on me. He rushed over to my house in a panic, forgetting his ID and my alarm codes in the process. After setting it off and realizing the alert was false, a cop showed up to my house with her gun drawn. He babbled to her about what happened, pointing to pictures of us to prove who he was. Fortunately she believed him and it's now a funny story we still talk about years later.
When I did military service one of my roommates somehow managed to lock his key in his locker. The only solution for that we came up with was my idea to use a foldable spate, lock it in halfway folded position, so it kind of acted like a hammer and bash to lock to break it. Typically my luck our sargeant randomly walked in on me bashing at that lock of my roommates locker with a spate while he was panicking due to being late because of the delay caused by his mishab.
Obviously we were quickly able to resolve this, but the initial impression of him being in underwear and me mostly in uniform slamming my spate at his locker and my initial claim of "errm, he asked me to do that" must have been pretty weird and confusing to the sargeant.

Don't know the age of ther person with 45 but that is low like I use to and sometimes still get.

@kimberly_erin I’m pretty sure hypoglycemia has to do with breaking down carbs, while diabetes has to do with insulin production/release. Your blood sugar can also drop if you just don’t eat enough.
I had an insane situation where i ended up essentially drifting infront of a cop at 2 am...
My car had an expired registration and inspection, plus my license had expired. I fully expected to have the book thrown at me, but I had a new set of tires in the backseat which i needed to get installed to pass inspection, which was also needed to re-register. I also had the printed "license" they give you when renewing your license. And the excuse for all this at 2am? We were out watching the meteor shower, which was true.
Cop listened to my whole story, looked everything over, and just said "alright get home safe" and that was that.
I now question the sanity of a woman who literally owned a lynx like was she registered as a animal rescue specialist? Did you buy the thing from a black market? There is a lot of open-end questions there

@@crazyabe4571 well then * make note don't try to adopt a 'free' kitty *
Another thing is, there is a breed of domestic cat that you could potentially mistake a lynx kitten as, it's called a Maine Coon and Lynx cubs & Maine Coon kittens look terrifyingly similar, and even as adults someone who's never seen both could make the mistake cuz they average at similar sizes. Plus, Maine Coons have fluffy fur similar to a Lynx, as well as the trademark ear tufts. Heck, a purebred Maine Coon's preferred and most common coat color/pattern is a grey tabby, which with their fluffy fur and big paws makes it kinda difficult to distinguish between them unless you know what to look for. It genuinely wouldn't suprise me if this lady just thought she had an aggressive Maine Coon, I've never heard of people trying to pass off Lynx cubs/hybrids as Maine Coons but with the similarities it wouldn't be very difficult. Trust me, I've got 2 Maine Coon mixes (1 fathered the other ironically, to a feral mother at that lol) and the only reason my Maine Coons wouldn't get confused is cuz the youngest only got the size outta it without the fluffy fur or ear tufts, and the older one's a freakin ginger (and yes, he is just as dumb as other ginger cats, he tried to jump on this ledge by our stairs and slid, faceplanted to the wall hard enough to get a bloody nose and just... sat there for a minute after landing, looking around like "wtf just happened" before my panicking mom scooped his 20 lb a°° up and took him to the bedroom to give him a look over, I had to hold in my laughter at this absurdity for like 15 mins or my mom would've killed me lol)

I feel for the lynx lady, used to have a bobcat hybrid named Lycan and he was huge, muscular, and unfortunately wild enough to for a while think it was okay to bite the lips and noses of sleeping victims and later to wake me up by jumping on my face because waking me up before turned out okay. Aside from that it was nice having him and I could easily spend an hour petting him while browsing online or working at home. My mother when she was young had a less fortunate experience with some of Lycan's probable relatives as she tried to pick up some of "pretty kitties" and was scratched up for her troubles, she was the type of girl that kissed frogs hoping to meet a prince, walked around barefoot, and she still adores spiders.

Back in the 1990s (in UK) I was driving home from work and the police were funneling traffic through a checkpoint looking for expired/missing tax discs. Ahead of me I saw the officer's eyes zero in on the tax disc holder which I knew did not hold a tax disc, but a couple of lines of typing on white paper.
However when I got closer I saw his face fall as his anticipated 'bust' melted away before his eyes.

That last story. The US Army and armed service branches now take domestic abuse very seriously, even when the abuse is done by a woman. Female service members are held to the same standard as male service members, and while the standards for spouses is a but d8fferent, they absolutely will not abide their service members being abused regardless of the gender of perpetrator and victim. Rape is taken more seriously now as well, and the definition of rape in the military includes female on male forced to penetrate, which many states dont regard as rape.
Last I checked, the feds still only count the person penetrating as assault (specifically sodomy if not penile). Glad to hear the military having a wider range and I hope that expands through the country
Yikes how can places not call that r*pe
Its fucked up that in some states it doesnt count as rape this is definitely rape when its unconsented any kind of unconsented sex is rape
does this assume that the service member is the victim or.... it might depend on how you read it, but what i read is that it's taken very serious if the service member is the victim. i'll go ahead and assume that it's me who's reading it wrong...
@Wall3Wapter yeah, you read it wrong. Basically, domestic abuse is taken very seriously regardless of the gender of the perpetrator and while non service member spouses aren't quite held to the same standards as service members, they are punished for domestic abuse just they'll go to a civilian court.

And so it does what cats sometimes do: attacks the human, hacks her claws into the leg. Normally, that gets you scratches or puncture wounds. This time, somehow, the cat got at least one blood vessel.
By the time I had woken up and came down, Mother was lying in a sea of blood (and that other liquid that made her go to the toilet). Still took far too long to convince her to let my sister drive her to the doctor. She never liked going to the doctor. But we really didn't have the necessary stuff to even make a reasonable dressing. (We actually used a towel.)
Didn't change our love for cats, but we had an electrician install some more light switches on her way from bed to toilet. Now I'm living alone in this house, I'm definitely feeling a lack of switches on the routes I tend to take. It's not that there aren't switches, they're just inconveniently placed, where half or more than the route the corresponding lamp should illuminate is already past. The former owner clearly only had very few routes in mind.
Get some motion activated night lights
omg that sucks
7:50 I think before you arrest somebody for DUI, the police always should do a breathilizer test first. Just to make sure, it's not diabetic.
Those breathalyzers do false positives - like if you do the test too soon after a using an inhaler.
It'd probably be better to have glucose testers (with the disposable strips) to test blood glucose levels instead of relying on breathalysers for the chance of someone being diabetic.
Like; I'm pretty sure you could equip the whole fleet with OTC glucose testing kits for cheaper than the penalties of false-positives from the breathalysers that can result in civil suits against the department for "DUI" being diabetic.
How is the Ikea thing unbelievable?
That cop must have never bought from Ikea.
I didn't know diabetus could lead to acting drunk though!
Story 13 cops are awesome lol.
Last story... yeah a lot of big strong guys are actually very aware of and very careful about their strength so they end up being victims more often than not in these cases.
A drop in blood sugar can lead to emotional disregulation ("hangry"), shakes and tremors, poor coordination, slurred speech, mental impairment.
@@s.h.6858 Meanwhile being on the Autism Spectrum and/or having ADHD (though ASD & ADHD do have crossover in AuDHD) tends to result in poor coordination, impaired/unusual locomotive methods (which can come off as "drunk" walking without an obvious injury indicating the source of a limp), slurred speech from mouth not working at the speed brain is dumping thus garbling words, impaired reaction times from fine motor control issues...
Oh, and let's not forget things like lack of 'socially-appropriate' filters between brain and mouth, and needing meds like Fluoxetine ("Prozac") or Risperidone to keep brain chemical balances in-check so you don't get punchy if someone cuts you off and places the last straw on the camel's back leading to a meltdown that then leads you to isolating yourself in embarrassment for "not having control" to stop said meltdown.
I'm just glad I've been lucky enough to not have to deal with cops coming for my Depressive-HFA arse.
A tick inside WHAT???? 🤯
Same 😭 I’m like omg how arghhh
I about DIED laughing at Sparked's response
Story 1 reminds me of the cops who were called somewhere because the neighbor heard someone there screaming "Get back here I will kill you!" with sounds of violence. Police arrive to find the only resident desperately trying to get rid of a spider.
I feel so sorry for the guy in story 4.
I used to work at a brewery, which often meant getting beer spilled on me. Just part of the job. One day I was driving my coworker home and we got pulled over for rolling through a 4-way stop. Cop immediately orders us out of the car since we both reek of beer. Then he sees we're both in our work uniforms and notices that we are walking and speaking fine. Asked a couple questions, laughed at the situation and let me off with a warning.
These gotta be Phoenix Right arcs
Tbh, with most cops, if you're respectful and forthcoming, they'll usually be pretty chill. I once got caught with weed in my car, but because I was honest and respectful, the let me off with a non-criminal disposal despite having enough on me to be charged with possession with intent to sell
in story 18 I would have reported the supervisor for being a total asshole to a special needs kid. hell I would have advised the kid to file a complaint against my supervisor for causing him to have a panic attack
That last one... I feel bad for the big guy.
Story 18 coulda gone so much differently...
Fucking supervisor man.
The last story is pretty sad. Imagine the roles were switched...
That Tick Story....I have multiple questions, but I'm mortified of the resulting answers.
I got pulled over for running a red-light in our downtown area. I didn't speed through it fast, I just couldn't stop in time. I had a bunch of stuff in my back seat, as I had just separated from my then husband.
The cop pulls me over. I fully acknowledged I ran the red light. When the cop asked me why, I stated; " Do you see my back seat officer? I was afraid of being ambushed!" He laughed, shook his head, and told me to be careful and have a nice day.
I was impressed by many of those police officers. It is nice to hear of police officers who understand how important good people skills can be. Now if only the police would start getting rid of their bad apples instead of protecting them.
Story - 13 well that was dangerous
(Listening while at work) The I’m not doing a black man’s voice had more rolling. That when I knew I had to sub!!!! lol 😂😂
Story 18 was actually alittle wholesome. Poor guy.
2 cop videos back to back LETS GOOOOOOOOO THANKS YOU I LOVE THESE also story 1 true yeah you can’t
I once had a call about a domestic dispute because I was on the phone with one of my best friends talking/yelling angrily about what I was going to do to his fantasy football team
1:42 Im just so confused at this one like what on earth
Second one is on the DEA for not working with local law enforcement so everyone was on the same page.
Anyone that has put together Ikea furniture would immediately believe the first guy no questions asked.
I have a story to ad to that last one. I have some pretty bad mental health issues that I'm managing with medication and lots of therapy, but I don't do well in relationships. Unfortunately in my last intimate relationship I fought a lot with my partner and it got violent at times. One time the neighbours called the police. By the time they got there I had calmed down, we explained the situation and the police asked ME (f, 5'7'') if I'm okay but never asked HIM (m, 6'4'') at all. He had a nasty bitemark and was definitely not okay. I am still upset about it and this was probably two years ago roughly
LMAO THE FIRST COULD SOUND LIIKE MY DAD TO BE HONEST AHAHAHHA

The visuals are ghastly!
Motion Sickness Alert !
I love the stories, but trying to watch the video makes me motion sick. Relatively unmoving text on a moving background - > I have to stop after a couple of minutes
😥
sorry to hear that but they are forced to do it by youtube if they want to make money. if they dont an algorithm will decide the videos look too similar to previous ones or not enough activity is happening in them (as would be the case with scrolling or swapping text on a black background) and the videos will get demonetized.
This is a reminder, most cops are genuinely great, helpful and respectful.
Its just just those terrible cops like the acorn shooting that get the publicity and sometimes other cops just being overly cautious as they do have to deal with actual criminals doing what they can do to try and get away with what they did.
Anyway, its crazy and funny how some of these interactions went in these videos. Reminds me of that one video with a guy 'jokingly and respectfully' getting through security with clear bags of flour posing as a baker.
Liked the video at 7:18 for the mixture of respect for my humanity and the laughteri had at the fear of being cancelled at a vulnerable point in your channel
i love watching your vids its soo good whe im trying to go to sleep
With the last addendum for Story 16: in Australia (and possibly the US), DUI laws and penalties apply to people supervising learner drivers as if they were driving (learners have zero tolerance); this not only makes it possible but plausible for someone to be pulled over for DUI in the passenger's seat, albeit under certain conditions.
In the US I’m not sure how that would work.
First off in the US, what you call a driving permit we call a learners permit, and that is for somebody who is under the age of 16 years old .
Allows them to drive the car providing someone 21 years or older is in the passenger seat and has a valid license .
It’s for them to gain experience operating a motor vehicle .
I’m not sure what would happen if the police were to stop someone with a learners permit, and find out that their passenger was drunk .
I imagine the cops would possibly write the passenger citation maybe and then they would tell the driver they need to get someone 21 or older with a license who is sober to come there so they could drive the car.
For a passenger to get a DUI the only way that could even happen in the United States and it depends on the state you’re in if the keys were in the ignition switch and were sitting in the car drunk.
Even if the cops do write you up for DY at that point you still have your date in court where you could go before a judge you could say you were not guilty the judge would issue a court date where you and the officer would have to appear in court
The officer would give his testimony, then you would give yours. The judge would decide what happens from there.
I was working on catching a colony of cats. Some were too hesitant to go in the traps for food, so I switched to catnip to lure them. Left the rest of the bag on the passenger side floor when it must have fallen off the seat. Went to drive somewhere with him, and he goes to get in the passenger side and just holds it up like, WTH. I could have gotten him in trouble if he hadn't found it. It really does look like weed if you're not paying enough attention.
why am i addicted to these videos
Dutch military Police is marechaussee ;) which is, if you would ask me as a dutchy, the least Dutch sounding word that is actually a Dutch word 😂 it is a word we stole from the French
Toch wel Frans. De Nederlandse Marechaussee bestaat sinds 1814, de Franse Maréchaussée al een paar eeuwen langer, sinds 1191, en werd in 1791 hernoemd naar de "Gendarmerie nationale"
@@shdon You're right, I edited my comment!
@@shdon Ik leer Nederlands, mijn Nederlands is nog heel slecht, maar ik ben trots op zelf omdat ik [most of] de zin begrijp :)
Yup, Nederland houdt ervan om woorden te stelen van andere talen😂
@@AntikythGood job! If I may ask, is there a reason you're learning Dutch? It's okay if you don't feel comfortable with telling me since it's probably a bit too personal-
I remember that video where a neighbour call on a guy whose owns a pet parrot that's yelling like it was a woman being abused. 😂
those are some insane triple neos
This showed me a side to cops I didn't know. I'm generally more on cops' sides than most, but many of them were a lot more reasonable than I would have been. I was also surprised by how not anti-weed the cops were. Some hate cops and some love them, but this video makes me suspect cops are more chill than anyone thinks.
This video title is basically me being seen doing anything in a nutshell
The catnip guy is lucky he didn't get arrested for trying to pass a fake substance as a narcotic. Just having it in the baggie alone could have gotten him arrested. Drug laws are absolutely out of control in this country
I got an ad that… I love Furbies, maniac that I am, but that Peepy thing is somehow horrific…
I liked that second to last one!
Story 4. You don't get drunk from diabetes. But yes you can have symptoms that are similar to being drunk. Just didn't like how it was phrased. But yeah having a diabetic brother and seeing what it can be like (the later story) where they get very aggressive and defensive it can be hard to spot. Also my bro would head home when like that for some reason, which sometimes meant driving.
I encountered two cops yesterday they were so chill and I said hi and then they said hi too pretty cool
Nice storys. Would appreciate it even more with a less jumpy background. As a non native i need the subtitles and as someone with motion sickness, just wanted to inform you, that i get something similiar here. Not sure if i am the only one and feel free to keep the background you like, just wanted the info out there without expeting anything :)
I love your channel😊
What i'm hearing is cops need to carry glucose monitors and check blood sugar during suspected DWI/DUIs
regarding story2... why would the DEA not inform local forces of their intended bust, so stuff liek that would not happen?
Story 15 is hilarious
as a type one diabetic, i predicted diabetic on all the stories that were exactly that lol
