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.

Nice find. :thumbsup:

I've never seen a weaker more clueless cop in my life. To think this dude is called upon to 'serve and protect', lol.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. The guy handled the situation fine. He wasn't "weak," he was polite. He let the situation resolve itself peacefully.

 

[DayLaPaul]

God that was painful to listen to. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. My conclusions:

Civic guy is a moron.
Deputy was a pussy.
Civic guy had balls, you gotta give him that.

He ran from someone chasing him...twice! (stopped, then took off again, lol)

Then he was bullied by the dude, not letting him out of the driveway. That's more than weak, that's fvcking cowardly and shameful!

Seriously...don't be a cop if you can't handle aggressive people, particularly when they are blatently breaking the law.

not that i like cops violating speed laws, but i personally feel he should have given the dick a ticket.

I can't see the video here at work, but in Texas, a police officer can speed without lights on and it is not against the law. He can also blow redlights and stop signs without lights too.
That is because it is policy in most departments to respond to Domestic Violence calls without lights on because you don't want to have the offender know you are coming and pull a gun on you, you want to have the element of surpise on the offender.

From what was said in this thread he wasn't responding to a call, but we have no proof to back up those claims as of yet.

citizens arrest could end up as a warrant if youre not on the scene. check it out. usually it will be a subpoena from what they told me, but if the charges are sound and dire enough, it could be a warrant. im betting aggravated assault, which carries a mandatory 24hr stay in jail just for being accused, will turn into that warrant. yes, thats the one i got hit up on. it was bs, but the guy got me in jail for a day for nothing. and they came and got me on a warrant, not a request to appear.

Custodial arrest & arrest warrant..apples and oranges, my friend.

ya, probably. but i like apples and oranges, they make a sweet juice mixer.

My observation is that while no one here is condoning the officer's speeding, it's much more reprehensible that some vigilante decided to break all those speeding/traffic laws himself, while being orders of magnitude more distracted, just to confront the cop. As it turns out the cops wasn't on a call...but the cam operator didn't know that, and should count his lucky stars for it.

And in the end...the cop was "reprimanded". Big fucking whoopdee doo.

I can also guarantee that the speed was greater on the part of Mr. Civic, else he never would've caught up.

I think, if its to get proof of cops breaking the law, its okay to speed. Note: don't think I think its okay to break the law in general to get evidence, but I think in this case, its fine. The 'infraction' caused by the person getting evidence is minimal.

Now if you try it, and the cop was really responding to a call, you are SOL. But the guy got lucky right here, and the copy got unlucky.

I think it's absurd you think that. The appropriate way to do things is to call the station and complain with the time and location, and car number if possible. There is no reasonable excuse for Mr. Civic's actions. He endangered people far more than that cop ever did, evidenced by overspeeding to catch up, straddling of traffic lanes and fidgeting with the camera.

But the guy's running commentary is what makes the video.

How has this guy avoided Darwin?

No because he curses and uses explanations in a flat tone.

No kidding. Quit watching the Vid because of the guys constant "Oh Shit I'm going 90". I buried the needle in my crappy 85 Plymouth Reliant, itt was only 85MPH, but wasn't the shitting bricks experience this Douche was having.

 

[blurredvision]

Seems like this isn't the first time this guy has chased down a cop. A new video has leaked out:

[IHateMyJob2004]

If that was a more experienced cop, the kid would have gotten handcuffed and the camcorder would have disappeared.

So it's okay for you to break the law to obtain "evidence" of a civil violation - when the violation you are committing is more serious than the one you're allegedly obtaining evidence for - and when you have no legal right nor authority to do so?

That's quite a perspective.

 

[bctbct]

After seeing several videos here where cops had a short fuse I found myself hoping this cop would empty a clip into this moron....

 

[BrokenVisage]

LOL I don't know why I liked it but I do!

 

[Dualist]

That was messed up. You normally have to have grounds for making a citizen's arrest.

 

[deftron]

Well the speed limit on that road is 45, so the cop was doubling it.

For what it's worth, Mr. Civic was going significantly faster in order to catch up - while obviously distracted. You don't miraculously catch up to someone while driving the same speed, and I highly doubt the officer was playing with a video camera and watching another car more than the road.

Not justifying anything here, but you have to be a proficient moron to think that what the officer was doing was less safe than Mr. Civic.

 

[MBrown]

ROLF! Both of these guys are stupid.

 

[Q]

OK I had to laugh when the cop said he'd arrest him for kidnapping.

Guy is a douche but it was kinda funny how the cop knew he was speeding badly (when he said he had it on camera). Anywho, waste of 9 minutes

But like others said, he shouldn't (the camera guy) have followed him going that fast, was dangerous for other drivers. Should have called / complained to station.

 

[SuperjetMatt]

Let me sum this up:

1. Cops are above the law
2. Nobody dare question cops
3. Citizens need to shut up and deal with 1. and 2.

Not quite, but thanks for trolling.

Naw, I am sure there's a perfectly legitimate reason for porkers to be speeding like that.

I'm going to arrest you for kidnapping

WTF?

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.

ZV

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

:laugh:

You try to "citizens arrest" me and you're going to have some issues...

'Don't do it again, k?'

'K.'



IMHO, following / catching up to the officer made the situation much more dangerous- Mr. Civic was likely fixated on the cruiser, and not paying as much attention to everything else as he should have been. Granted, this is conjecture- but still.

What do you think the situation is when it's reversed? Just as dangerous.

Edit: You should just avoid all 5-0 threads.
