Trucker Pulls over Cop for Speeding and Cell Phone use

Every cellphone law I've read exempts emergency vehicles.

I see it as a truck driver acting out on his daydreaming. What else does he try to do? Punish 4-wheelers? Sure we get upset over somethings law enforcement does but he accomplished absolutely nothing to correct the situation. I think his motivation was YouTube. I'll be a tube star if I do this!

No one got busted and the cop probably called his wife and told him about this guy after they parted ways.

 

He saw the trooper operating in an unsafe manner and called him out on it. Good for him. I dont think it was done for you tube, maybe so but didnt seem pre meditated to me. I did this once only I followed him into the convenient store in my car after witnessing him driving at an extremely high rate of speed through a 30 mph in a busy city. Does it prove anything, depends on how you look at it. Calling his shift comander would have only made him look like a tattle tail, better that he called the guy out face to face.

 

Lucky the Cop didn't pull him off dash cam and introduce him to Mr. Night stick. A cell phone call is small potatoes. Google Police brutality.

 

This trucker is probably tired of the law doing things that the common citizen cannot do.Not any different then ppl above us in Washington.

 

Kind of fun to watch the cop getting all tongue tied and making excuses as if he was the one being stopped.

Not sure if i'd have honked at the police though. This was the best possible outcome, and what did it really do, except amuse us? Could have gone the other way for the driver. Why attract trouble on purpose?

 

He is a public servant. We pay his salary, that is our business.

 

How about you tell the officer to mind his own business the next time you get stopped or pulled around back at a weigh station.Wish more ppl would go out of their way to pull a cop over for doing what we the people can't do.Too many cops are breaking the law because they can.I have seen more officers parked in A no parking zone right next to a restraurant just so they can get something to eat because they're too lazy to walk like the rest of us have to.

 

LOL, this reminds me of 21 years ago. I had just got my drivers license and within 3 months I got my first ticket for blowing a red light. Actually, the light was yellow when I went through, and it was raining, so I decided I didn't want to try to slam on the brakes on wet roads. Well, the cop started going off on me and reading me the riot act, gave me a ticket, and lectured me and was a complete jerk about it. I explained why I didn't stop, but it wasn't resonating with him.

Fast forward about 2 years later. I'm sitting at a red light in an intersection about 2 miles from that spot. I look across the intersection and it's the exact same cop that gave me the ticket 2 years prior. I know because he has the same exact super cop mustache. The light turns yellow, and then red, and a car on the cross road blows through the red light at least 55mph in a 40. The first thing that happened is the cop and I made direct eye contact. We sat there for a couple seconds looking at each other, and you knew by the look on his face he was going to get something to eat or he was returning to the station for the end of his shift. He didn't want to pull the guy over and deal with the paperwork.

I proceeded to point him down, and point at the car he completely disregarded, and then he had a dirty look on his face while proceeding to chase him down and pull him over.

I'm sorry, I don't like to narc out other people, but that guy was driving extremely recklessly and I wasn't about to let some lazy cop get out of paperwork he didn't feel like doing when he busted me for some bogus traffic violation when he was frantically trying to fill his monthly quota LOL

 

Wish my dash cam was working today watched an unmarked weave in and out of traffic cut two trucks off and #### near rearend a car on I87

 

I thought by law we were required to drive that way in New York. You'd think so seeing how everyone drives there.
