He was reprimanded, the cop.

Police office said the cop was wrong.

Link?

He shouldn't have been driving that fast unless he was being called somewhere.

Officer is alone. In the middle of nowhere, which means backup will be a long time coming. Subject has just followed him for miles at high speeds and has blown through a stop sign in the process. Subject is acting erratically and shaking as though he's tweaking.

I'm not at all surprised that the officer wanted out of that situation. Those are precisely the sorts of things that tend to lead to injured or killed police officers.

Agreed. It's an incredibly fine line to have to walk, between self-preservation and good PR.

I can;t find the link but the story was the cop was NOT going to a call.

The fact that he didn't tells me more than anything that the cop was probably in the wrong. He was likely hoping it'd all blow over if he just let the dbag go.

the narration of that video is surely one of the finest pieces of oral storytelling ever told

The officer is correct. Holding anyone against their will is kidnapping. Technically he was, however briefly, "kidnapping" the officer when he obstructed the officer's exit.

Not true. Of course, this depends entirely on your local laws and the nature of the crime being committed.

While I won't disagree with your assessment in our current legal system, I would argue that if a cop is allowed to use a video tape showing his speed matched to that of a person he believed to be speeding, a person ought to be able to use that same evidence (and means of obtaining said evidence) to prove that an officer is in the wrong.

in cali, 90 will get you the reckless driving charge anyways. 25 mph over speedlimit is criteria for reckless driving.

Oh yeah? If I was the cop, I'd take the speeding ticket and issue one for speeding, reckless driving, willful endangerment, running a stop sign, harassing a peace officer and whatever else I can come up with and tow the asshat's car.

I was gonna commend you for sounding like a perfect candidate for the police academy, but you forgot to tazer the guy.

Yeah I doubt any states allow a citizen's arrest for speeding.

The officer handled the situation well. I have no idea why the guy put this video on Youtube, because it only makes him look like a douchebag. He wanted a reaction from the cop, and he got nothing.

I'm not an apologist, and as stated I don't like a lot of cops and what they did, but in this case I firmly believe the douche in the video deserves a whooping. If you believe otherwise, perhaps you're just as big as a douche as that guy, and think that he's your hero.

Agreed. However, in most states, reckless driving can be considered a felony. Of course, that requires a lot more than just run-of-the-mill speeding.

I don't recall stating either of those positions. Learn to attack the argument, and acquire a taste for sarcasm. You'll make for a better conversationalist.

 

[Vette73]

FOUND IT.


Here is the story for this...


ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) - A YouTube video of an Accomack County Sheriff's deputy allegedly speeding has become the talk of the Eastern Shore. The driver who videotaped the deputy later confronted him.

Accomack County Sheriff Larry Giddens says Deputy Jason Campbell was simply caught on tape making a mistake. He tells WAVY.com the young officer wasn't responding to a call and shouldn't have been speeding. The sheriff says Campbell has been disciplined. He wouldn't tell us Deputy Campbell's punishment.

 

[SSSnail]

Well yeah, you know how that goes, people sometimes think they're witty or hilariously sarcastic, which most of the times, not.

I personally liked how deftly he wove his unshakeable faith into the narrative.

God is surely "on his side!" Jesus Christ, fucking God damnit!
