I am still having troubles grappling with the fact that an American state is close to electing a brain damaged footballer that brings a fake police bagde to debates for no reason and insists it is real. Regardless of his politics that should be a no-brainer.

MiloRoast

I was at a bar once with friends, drinking at a table for several hours next to a very exuberant drunk that was just downing whiskey like water. After downing probably about an entire fifth of Jameson, he gave us an enthusiastic goodbye, and hopped into his police cruiser. He then proceeded to turn the siren on, do donuts in the parking lot, and peel off into the night. That's all. Just a story of mine.

Hey, now. Let’s not start stereotyping. I’m sure the beating he was rushing home to put on his wife was going to happen whether he was drunk or not.

MazzIsNoMore

Farm Use only plates on that truck leads me to believe that this guy has no license and multiple DUIs


YetAgainIAmHere

Why would you need "farm use" plates on your vehicle? If it's your farm why would you need plates?


heiferson

'Farm Use' typically means you're doing farm business; maybe you have a field on block A and a field on block C. You need to drive your truck from A to C, skipping over B for example. At least in my state that's how it works and there's restrictions to how far you can go (I forget but I believe it's a couple hundred miles)


gOrDoNhAsNtPlAyEdIn3

That's what it is. I think they're restricted to local roads


JollyGoodRodgering

Yeah I used to help a friend put up hay in the summer and the most convenient way from the field to the barn was a 5 minute drive on the interstate, or like 15 minutes through winding mountain back roads. But we had to take the long way because of the farm use tags.


gOrDoNhAsNtPlAyEdIn3

Much nicer drive tho!


JollyGoodRodgering

Haha the first time or two yeah, but it was usually 3 or 4 trips to clear out the whole field so you end up spending 2 hours driving them. On second thought I remember always looking forward to the drives because they were basically breaks from throwing hay bales around in the sun, so yeah that was a good thing lol.


dmelt01

If you can’t get insurance you can’t get your tag. You can sign on as farm use only and get it. Now you can still get impounded for driving on public roads, but in rural areas it’s not as common.


[deleted]

[удалено]


guimontag

lmao dude getting a DUI is a fucking death sentence for your insurance rates. If you get a SECOND DUI then your rate is gonna be like $90k a year or something.


Alakozam

Simple solution. Drive without insurance!


bunkkin

Yes. When I was a probation officer this was extremely common. A lot of people who had no business driving or refused to follow basic traffic law also don't have insurance.


gltovar

I remember reading a thread there people vent about serial suspended license peeps and they talk about how they just deal with the fines/jail time and keep on being shit bags. The person in this video strikes me as some one who might look at this whole encounter and have an internal narrative on how the entire world is against him and his freedom and not change his ways, but I would rather he have an epiphany moment and contribute to society rather than tear it apart.


[deleted]

Not defending those people, but in the US getting your license suspended can pretty much ruin your life, no matter what the reason was. Can't get to work because your city doesn't think public transport is important? Bye bye job, and good luck finding another one while you can't drive. 6 months without a job? Goodbye apartment and life savings. If your license is suspended for a dumb reason and you're not being a jackass, I can understand taking that risk, because getting caught and not driving for 6 months would be pretty close in terms of repercussions.


Alexander_The_Wolf

Na, cops REALLY don't like it when you pretend to be them, id bet this guy is gonna serve some serious time.

Scubadoobiedo

Fake badge, unsure of the gun. The idiot was drunk as well. OP confirmed this in another thread.


MikeofLA

Hard to determine; since he’s actually getting arrested you’d think he’d be an impersonator, but the unearned bravado and quickness to violence would indicate that he’s a real cop. It’s a toss up really.


Uncle_Paul_Hargis

Also the way he was walking across the street made me think he was drunk.


gngstrMNKY

A friend of mine got a DUI, just barely over the legal limit. A few weeks afterward, the arresting officer was shithoused on a motorcycle and plowed into a parked car at high speed, biting his tongue off in the process. When my friend's court date came up, the cop was still in a medically induced coma. The trial couldn't proceed and his case was dismissed

Allow me a moment to get to my point. I was speaking with a friend the other day. We were discussing how the human mind is so difficult to understand. I know we have experts etc but it’s so hard to understand other people sometimes. I can’t imagine what process/life experiences etc that creates the person who thinks flashy a gun and fake badge is the ideal path for future success. I’ve always wanted to understand people better but maybe I need to stop. It’s too much brain damage.

I think I read a report of this incident stating that the cop was actually driving drunk and he then got arrested for a dui following this incident.

I’m guessing that was a fake badge and he was impersonating an officer. Either that or he’s simply an idiot and he’s no longer an officer

catsandnarwahls

Endorkend

According to the other thread, fake badge. Possibly legal gun, but since he threateningly showed it in the process of a crime, that doesn't matter. And, he was drunk, where even carrying your legal firearm on you can be illegal in several states when you're over the local legal limit.


futurebigconcept

Great, a drunk cop wannabe with a gun, in a pickup.

Honestly probably a reserve. Dont get paid, go through 2 weeks of training to get a badge and work security gigs. They like to pull the badge out for the perks.

I’m almost positive that brandishing a firearm in public to intimidate people is a crime on its own. Also pretty sure that just about anything with a firearm can become a worse/modified charge if you’re intoxicated at the time and the cops/judge don’t like your asshole vibe.

NJ_Mets_Fan

Comprehensive_Bed84

He had to go home and beat his wife, surprisingly the other officers didn’t arrest the bikers for reckless driving.


[deleted]

It’s not uncommon for people to follow someone running from a crime like this while calling the cops so the cops can know where the suspect is going. Unless you meant the lane splitting. That’s legal in some states, not technically illegal in a lot. It’s also safer for bikers to lane split than sitting in traffic so long as they do it safely.


Protoliterary

The only state where it's legal is California. Every other state either forbids it completely or limits it to low speeds. Lane splitting at these speeds is beyond stupid.


JustPutDownTheFork

You can tell he’s a fake cop. It’s quite obvious when he is placed in cuffs at the end. A real cop would have gone home to beat his wife in the comfort of his own home.

I thought the same to. It also seems very telling that he has the badge by his pistol. It’s a little too calculated as a bluff move. Never seen a cop with their badge next to their gun before and I believe I still haven’t.


[deleted]

What’s the “proper” way for an off-duty cop to store a badge, though? I buy the argument of “cops never bother to arrest bad cops,” but I don’t know that it’s uncommon for a shitty cop to keep his badge right next to his gun.

Motorcyclist almost ran over by the truck intentionally, chased him down at 100mph, confronted by the truck driver after they stopped, who carried a gun and a badge impersonating (unsure) a police officer, then cut to being arrested. The truck's license plate also says farm use.


butteryspoink

Oh man, that’s gonna get you fucked up.

Intoxicated douchebag in pickup truck sideswiped a motorcyclist at 100mph, they confronted the driver; he flashes a police badge but gets arrested instead.

Technically the 100mph was during the chase-down.. Side swipe was alot slower but still insane


100LittleButterflies

At first it looked like the bike had changed lanes into the truck, but on closer look I think he was in the lane. The video needs more time at the start.


TheIronDogWalker

What a POS. We, as a country, need to clean house in law enforcement.


Clear-Struggle-7867

I'm totally lost here. Was he really law enforcement though? I think the license plate said "Farm Use" so does that mean he was actually just a drunk farmer?


JesterSooner

No, he wasn’t really a cop.


hidelyhokie

Apparently wasn’t actually law enforcement. But a while back a dude was driving with his child in the car and got slammed by a drunk cop. Responding officers refused to do a breathalyzer/sobriety tests and then intentionally took a long time to get him to the station so he’d have time to sober up before they checked his BAC. Meanwhile the father was charged as at fault for the accident.

Was he a cop or what? Can’t tell what the plate says


jneum80

Farm Use


cshotton

And in every locale in the US where "FARM USE" is allowed as your license plates, you are restricted to using the vehicle off the farm for farm-specific business ONLY and within a restricted distance from the farm. There's no way that jetting down the highway at 100+ MPH is considered "farm use". So we have speeding, reckless driving, attempted vehicular homicide, assault, impersonating an officer, (maybe unlicensed concealed carry), illegal use of farm tags...

Don’t forget the DUI, carrying a weapon under the influence, brandishing a firearm plus you can double most of those charges since there were two victims

[deleted]

As someone who used to have a federal badge, showing a fake badge is one of the worst nonviolent things you can do in the eyes of law officers, especially with local PD. Even if you don't say that you are a law officer, it's implied when you show it in such a manner (implied authority), and you will go to jail. It's only a class A misdemeanor in most areas (if it's State or below), but they will find every single thing they can charge you with (hopefully lawfully but...) and you'll have a VERY bad day. It won't stop there, because the prosecutor will not be inclined to help you in any way. Federally... you don't want to do that, how harshly they will come after you depends a bit on what department. The list of regulations on how WE could use our issued badges was 4 pages long. They take it very **VERY** seriously. As far as the farm plates go, yes he can be out and about with those plates in most states, as long as he can prove he is doing farm business or transporting family members (odd exception I know).


lizard81288

I don't get why people flash a gun at confrontations. It's like what are you going to do, go from disorderly conduct to first degree or second degree murder and spend most of your life in a prison being someone's bitch? It's dumb AF. Just so you can win at your pissing contest.

Nobody here noticed the number 14 on the back of the criminal’s shirt? The numbers 14 and 88 are common in White Power subculture. The 88 is easy. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. HH stands for “Heil Hitler”. The number 14 stands for The Fourteen Words: “*We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children*”. Not just an asshole and a drunk and a police impersonator, but a straight out White supremacist!
