It didn't turn good from there. Even after I ID myself and told him I really needed to go he wouldn't let me. I know guys who just left some local yokel just standing there talking to himself but you never know with these guys. But in the end he had to explain why he almost screwed up a federal Investigation. His agency never patrolled the Interstate again.

Is there a law about county mounties patrolling interstates? Or just townies? Does it vary from state to state? Inquiring minds want to know.

You should have arrested the cop for aiding and abetting.

Got my first ticket in 10 years this weekend.
80 in a 65. And I was doing SO well.

I'm 47, and I have a clean driving record. That may have helped in him letting me go.
What worries me is what he said about being in an Altercation with another individual in a neighboring county. Couldn't me, unless I'm sleep fighting again....Thank God, I'm not "Sleep Shaving"....

here's my take on it
you get ONE ticket and you can be SURE the next stop will result in TWO!!

throttle is UP
brake is DOWN (stay off the front brake putting it back down)

here's why I sold my bike

Very interesting viewing ....

It is actually a rather serious video. I wish I would have watched this stuff when I was alot younger.

The fake officers tactics (and verbiage) in this video were horrendous. I cringed when he had all three kids get out of the car at once, then turned his back on all three unsecured individuals, then entered the car. That's the kind of complacency that gets cops killed. No trained officer would act in the manner depicted. The video was obviously made to portray law enforcement officers negatively.

BTW, the officer had probable cause to stop the vehicle. Everything that happened subsequent to the stop (nervous passenger, odd smell inside vehicle) could very likely justify a search of the bag and discovery of the marijuana.

I agree, the cop did not secure the passengers and acted stupidly. When I say he did a good job, I mean the search and investigation would stand in a court as justified. Not that he used proper police techniques to secure the passengers/driver and protect himself. (to clarify my statement previously). However, I highly disagree with the probable cause to search the vehicle. Another topic for another thread.

Foul language in this video:

No law just policy. usually the state Police patrols the interstates and U.S Highways and the locals take the state highways and local roads however in some areas the locals want a share in the speeding ticket business so they do it anyway. Also in some states like the larger ones in the west where LEO are few and far between they work together.

Yes I know cases where guys have disarmed and arrested local cops for being stupid but there have also been incidents like that which didn't turn out so great.
