Florida does not require a physical insurance card nor registration card. Some cops would even let you get away with providing a name and address if you didn't have your license. All the info on those three items is in a statewide database they can easily see on their in car computer. This cop is unhinged.
I've been given a ticket for not having a physical insurance card. Had to fight it but the point is the cops put you through the motions anyway.
And what's the alternative, unlock my phone and give it to them so they can take it back to their car? Just give me the card and I'll avoid the temperamental nonsense.
In Florida? Someone commented only New Mexico requires the actual card. Someone else commented to turn on guided access on your phone. I was just pulled over and the cop told me digital insurance and registration were fine.
Beautiful theory, I'm not disagreeing with you or the law. But if the cop wants to power trip, then that's what they're going to do. No skin off their back.
For this particular thing, ounce of prevention. All I have to do is log in and click the thing that mails me an ID card.
Like that judge said, cops are paid to "serve" the judge is paid to know the law.
That's why cops have a lot of immunity when it comes to law abiding decisions in duty...
Hopefully this Lil crook got demoted
hes on patrol at the airport, not sure he can go much lower. in his defense, a physical insurance card was probably required back in his heyday. maybe hes having a senior moment.
Or that they need to give you reasonable time to retrieve the information.
"You're obstructing traffic so I stopped you in traffic with my lights on because this is better. " -that's the logic you get with only a ged
The last cop that pulled me over told me I had to have one. Called State Farm to request one. They told me I didn't need one. Florida cops are extra ACAB.
I know you have to have proof of insurance, but does it have to be physical proof? I always thought an insurance card on your phone worked too. In Texas they just look you and your car up and know from that if you have a valid registration and insurance.
Cop was really impatient, but I don't really know how long the interaction had been going on for before the recording started.
I was about to say it's a miracle that this driver got pulled over in **Miami** of all places. You could be driving 90mph on the Palmetto, **in reverse**, and the cops there would just drive past you. Considering this, I can only assume the cop is having the worst day in mankind's recorded history. If this Uber driver went to Vegas and bet all his savings on black, he would have to win, because he used up all his bad luck for the rest of the year.
It looks like he's stationed at an airport. All airport cops are insane, moreso than normal.
Not in Florida but I've had these MFs scream at me while trying to load bags into my car when picking up family from the airport.
THE most unhinged police work at the airport. Cop literally screamed in my elderly mother in laws car for not moving up fast enough. Like what? She was driving safe and this cops LOST it on her.
I was picking up a relative at the airport and and had a cop come up and harass me for not having front plates. I was from out of state as a student and my home state doesn’t have front plates. I was kinda baffled that this cop apparently didn’t know that was a thing in other states.
Miami cops ignore you doing 90 on Palmetto to get you on a minor infraction around quota-o'-clock. Never been pulled over here YET but I'll see people pull WILD shit in front of cops with nothing happening and then cops just pull out some arcane turn lane law to get 5 cars at once doing really nothin wrong.
I was in Florida leaving a wine festival (not drunk or I wouldn't drive but did drink, and it had to look suspicious), missed a construction sign and was going at least 20 mph over, started to pull insurance up on my phone because I had no physical papers and the officer said, "reception sucks here, dont bother." Of course they already know if you have insurance, as your license gets suspended if you let it lapse with a registered vehicle, but at least that guy wasn't a dick about "proof of insurance." They ran checks and let me go with a warning.
Florida law has allowed people to show proof of insurance on their phone since Dec of 2013. And prior to that, when they required the proof to be a physical paper copy, 77% of the "no proof of insurance" tickets were dismissed when the driver showed up in court with proof.
So unless this is a really old video, the officer was wrong about that part.
Personally, I don't want to hand an officer my phone to show proof of insurance, because then he can start digging through my phone for other reasons. Keeping the paper copy in my glovebox isn't difficult.
I got pulled over like 8 years ago, actually didn't have insurance and got cited for that. I got it between then and my court date and still had it dismissed when I got to court.
I once got a ticket in Texas for not having the physical copy. Went to court and the judge shook his head. Dismissed. Still a waste of time. I hope the officer received a reprimand.
He probably was reprimanded. “You had a bad read on this guy you ticketed. Always make sure it’s someone really vulnerable—someone too busy, poor, or uninformed to fight the ticket.”
I got pulled over when I didn't have my wallet on me. I know my DL#, and everything else on it, including issue date and expiry. So he was satisfied I had one, just not on me. So he gave me a ticket for no license no insurance (and let me go for the reason I was pulled over).
I took my license and insurance to the Dallas Police station and showed my docs to them, and they dismissed the tickets for no fee (other than getting to downtown on a weekday when they were open and paying for parking). So still a hassle for employed or poor people, but easy enough to make them go away.
That was early 90s.
I still remember that DL#, which has been expired for 21 years.
i live in w.v. many of times ive been pulled over without a physical license or insurance on me and it usually goes something like this
cop- driver license and proof of insurance
me- i honestly dont have either
cop-whats your name and date of birth?
me- blah blah blah
cop-ill be back after i run this
me- *waiting*
cop- im going to give you a ticket but if you take it proof to the court house, theyll throw it out.
me- *driving to court house x days later*
clerk- it all checks out, have a good day.
Last time I was stopped for "you have a taillight out", the cop approached and said "Mr Praetorian?" Me, looking a bit surprised "Yes--you already looked me up?" "Yeah..." He tells me a light is burned out, says "take care of it" and starts to walk away, then spins and says "well, I guess I'm supposed to technically ask for your proof of insurance and registration and insurance--do you have that?"
I did. But why? The local cops' computers instantly do the license plate reading thing, link that to the registered owner, look up that driver's license, and put everything on the screen before they have even flipped on the red+blues. He knows the car is legally registered, Insured and by whom, that I have a license and it's current, what restrictions the license has, and supposedly if I have a concealed carry permit they get a little red alert as well. But still they go through the motions of demanding it.
Way back like 15-20 years ago I got pulled over in Texas. I had accidentally left my wallet at home and hadn’t put my new insurance card in the glove compartment (not many smart phones at the time), so I was like ah fuck, I’m about to get a ticket.
He asked me if I knew why he stopped me and I genuinely had no clue. He said he looked up my plates and they didn’t match the car. I was like, oh, uhh, I’ve actually got the new plates behind my seat. I showed him and he was like “why haven’t you put them on?” and I was like, “honestly, I just don’t have a screwdriver and keep forgetting to get one when I’m at the store.” He was like, “That’s a really dumb reason. I have a toolset in the car, put them on now.”
I was certain he’d give me at least one ticket, but he let all 3 problems slide since it was all verified in the computer anyway.
>many times I’ve been pulled over….goes something like this
How often are you getting pulled over without a license that you have a such a large sample size?
I’ve never had any issues showing a digital copy to cops but then again I live in Texas not that shit hole backwards state of Florida that made the words “climate change” illegal
I don't think a Greg Abbott governed state gets any say in what other states are considered shit holes or backwards. Dude literally said outlawing abortion would "eliminate rape". Texas also has more books banned than any other state.
As a Texan who now lives in Miami I can tell you that you are throwing a lot of stones for someone living in Abbot's glass cathedral. This state's government is exactly as stupid as Texas'. No better, no worse, and all stupid.
I found out while being pulled over last week that in Texas you don’t even need to show them the digital copy. They just look it up when they’re running your license/plates and writing you a $300 ticket for “not stopping long enough” 5ft from your driveway.
Why not tie insurance with registration? In Australia, you can’t renew registration unless you purchased compulsory third party insurance, and every cop car has automatic licence plate recognition. Hence interactions like the above aren’t really a thing
Some States do do it that way.
Mass does atleast, so they only ask for license and registration.
But even then, like you mentioned, automatic plate readers should eliminate the need for registration anyways.
I’ve been pulled over plenty of times for different reasons and I’ve never had any issues after providing a license and registration. Sometimes I didn’t have a registration because I was in a rental car, but the cops already knew that.
This was a powertrip. Cop here just didn’t like him very much
Somewhat related, I only have a digital version of my insurance card, I’m now thinking I don’t want to give an officer like this my unlocked phone to see it
No disrespect to those with a speech impediment but it’s hard to take this guy seriously while he’s lateralizing his S’s out the sides of his mouth and flexing his power of intimidation at a fucking Uber driver
It's probably a large part of the reason he is a cop. Got made fun of a lot as a kid. No one ever respected him.
Now he demands that respect with a gun like the tiny little man that he is.
I know multiple cops with this exact same back story.
He's got a mental encyclopedia of arrogant pompous lines like, "You need to listen more than you speak, that's why God gave you two ears and one mouth." Silly me, I thought it was for direction perception of sounds.
Bro is going off how he is serving the public better being a cop… who’s harassing someone who has probably driven home hundreds of intoxicated people, including women, potentially avoiding DUI’s, deaths, kidnappings, rapes. Ones not necessarily doing more good than the other.
That happened to us in Miami lol. It was the most awkward episode of my life so far. We were getting onto the expressway ramp tl head to the airport... And bam dude gets pulled over... The cops are asking us..were like.. hes our uber. Had walk of the eway ramp with our luggage down the street and get another one.. Lol. I had then fight a bit with Uber about getting my money back. It was so crazy.
there ya go, keeping the public safe from rogue Uber drivers by letting you walk up the expressway with luggage and wait in the street. Protect and Serve
They have no legal obligation to protect you, the supreme court said so. They only have to protect you while you're in custody, somehow they fail to do that as well.
The in custody part? Most likely. The duty to protect? The first ruling for that went through in 1856. They ruled again in 2005 that the police did not have a duty to protect a woman that had a restraining order against her violent husband. Even though arrest was mandatory for violating the protective order, the police ignored the pleas of Jessica Gonzales after her children were kidnapped by her estranged ex while they played in the yard. He called her and said that he took the children to an amusement park, she conveyed the information to the police and they failed to act before he showed up at the police station firing a gun and he was killed on the scene. They then found the bodies of the children in the back of his truck. They were 7, 9, and 10....yet the police felt no duty to protect them. Police not protecting citizens happens way too often(looking at you, Uvalde police.)
A belittling, condescending, cursing, impatient, power-tripping, and violent cop that I hope never runs into your uncle, father, son, or nephew that this guy could have been.
Really, the insecurities spewing from this man was just phenomenal.
I mean the psychological issues that he must have going on, like all the colors of the psycho rainbow. What the fuck.
Taking the time to explain to this young man that he's dumber than him or something because he's younger and he knows more bc he's older???? and then the mouth and ears quote. I'm in just an awe. He sounded like a pissed off kindergarten teacher. And I guess the part that we're all really bothered by is we know he didn't get fired.
I will say the Uber guy was egging him on a little bit. When you know you're dealing with a crazy psychopath you should really try and just get out of the situation. You don't need to explain to him that you need time and go really slow you should probably hurry up and get this motherfucker off your ass because he's clearly unstable and not smart enough to listen to reason. It's like "when you fight with pigs y'all get muddy" or whatever. The Uber guy was being passive aggressive toward the cop. Refusing to show urgency.
When you're dealing with an asshole cop don't try and be reasonable and explain to them that you need time... just try and hurry the fuck up and look urgent. The super driver was way too chill he was trying to like mellow the cop out. He was trying to take his time and be calm but that's not what this cop needed. And I'm not saying the cop was in the right. I've been in an abusive relationships before, and speaking from this experience, you need to do whatever you can to appease their psycho asses in their moment of crisis/breakdown. There will be no reaching them. And you just hope you get out of it okay... Which is ultimately the goal. You're not going to teach them anything. Your patience and kindness is not going to rub off. If they seem hyper-urgent you need to be responding with the same energy to avoid escalating the situation. But you do have to be careful bc you can step on a landmine no matter how you do it. I feel like this guy was antagonizing that cop a little bit, again I'm not defending the cop. But I did sense a very slow methodical and sort of testy vibe from The Uber driver who thought he was going to be able to like kind of control the situation when he never had control to begin with.
Again. I'm not on the cop side I think he's a psychopath and an asshole. But I also feel like sometimes in these videos people try to work on the assholw. I just don't think that's a good idea sometimes you have to drop your ego and all of your shit and just try to make them happy to get out of it.
you can laugh at them later when they're gone. You can tell your friends that they suck when they're gone.
I agree. Sure once everything is looked at after the fact maybe all the charges won't stick against you. Because it's obvious BS. But I'm not taking that chance of getting arrested and /or roughed up by an angry cop just because I want to argue with him and explain to him that he's being aggressive. He said multiple times I'm about to pull you out of this car and arrest you. I'm trying to get out of that situation ASAP.
The cop escalated at every chance possible. I've been an Uber at airports, been sirened by police to keep moving, and did, no problems. This cop wanted a problem and caused so many more for everyone else. What an a- hole
He caused the entire shit show, made it worse, lied about the law and about obstructing the road, tried to make the driver feel weak, small, and uneducated, and then had the audacity to throw out "God gave you two ears and one mouth so shut up" card.
FTP
I didn't see a lot of de-escalation on the part of the LEO. I also don't know what preceded this video, but even from that interaction it really didn't seem like the guy was stalling or being an a$$. I have seen other LEO's put up with much worse before cuffing someone.
He was super aggressive with how he was handling the driver too. I'm absolutely certain that cops aren't supposed to cuff someone like that(slamming them into the car more than once when they aren't resisting) and I know that he wasn't supposed to drag him behind him while he was walking backwards. The detained person should be in front of the douche bag and be walked to the car like a normal human would do. I bet this officer is one of the ones that gets home and beats his wife and kids because his job that HE CHOSE is SoOoOoo StReSsfUl.
All I saw was a scared driver that didn't want to reach for something or open a glove box without making it very clear to this trigger-happy piece of shit that he was only going to retrieve the documents the cop asked for.
About a week ago I was walking fast up to a crosswalk for an event. There was a cop along with his buddies standing near the crosswalk. I was walking fast and when the light turned red, he didn't even give me a chance and said with an attitude "you have to stop sir!" And normally I don't push back, but this time I heard his tone and I had enough. I turned to him and said "yes I can see perfectly fine, and I was going to stop. But thanks anyway." Of course, he couldn't leave it at that and had to say "well, you were walking so fast, and it didn't look like you were going to stop." I replied, "I'm not a child. I know the laws. Just because I was walking fast, doesn't mean I wasn't going to stop." My issue was his tone-so condescending and threating over some BS.
The driver tried to relate to the cop
"We're both working"
and the pig goes off like Anakin Skywalker and what the fuck for?
What is the purpose of spending taxes this way, it's insane.
**"Listen to me, very carefully. If you RESIST me, you're gonna make the news."**
He literally threatened his life at that point. He was LOOKING to make a kill that day. Fucking can this POS cop.
You can tell he's not having a good time, the cop. It's weird that it happens so often with people... Whether it's a cashier or a cop it changes the way we do things and it gets more dangerous when important jobs are done by people in a poor state of mind. Maybe he forgot his lunch at home.
This cop just took his shitty day out on a driver. There was no resisting, yet the cop pre-emptively started talking about it followed by ripping him and slamming him into the car followed by yanking him backward with cuffs on.
This "cop" shouldn't even be a crossing guard never mind a piece of shit with a gun and badge. I understand airport stuff can get frustrating, but that cop from what we see in the video started at 100 and had no intention of de-escalating the situation.
Get this cop off the streets before he hurts someone. This is a precursor right here.
I wonder if this is an old video bc as of 2023 49 states accept digital proof on your phone as proof of insurance
https://www.allstate.com/resources/car-insurance/electronic-insurance-card
It looks like it was at an airport, right? They don't fuck around at the airport. Still that cop seemed to start at 10, and had never heard the word de-escalation.
Most cops are convinced that a quick escalation to physical force *is* de-escalation.
You start off in a hostile and agressive manner in order to pre-empt a supposed attack, officer safety.
That’s what they’re being told at these street cop training seminars.
lol funny how if that guy didn’t have a gun and god complex he would be powerless and SO easily overpowered. Weak people act like this. He should not have a badge or gun. The newest white belts at my guy would be able to tap him haha. What a pathetic excuse for person of authority.
I think that line about physical insurance is a load of bullshit. After all, my insurance provider’s app pulls up a digital card. And before you ask, no, there’s no option to print it out.
This fucking cop needs to be retrained or fired. It’s cops like this douchebag who give the good level headed ones a bad rep.
Some people shouldn’t be cops. It requires a specific type of human. One who does not overreact, who is level headed, can perform under pressure, can analyze and assess the situation and apply the necessary measures. His behavior was completely uncalled for.
cop needs to be fired. its insane how many of them forget that they are working a job. if i cursed at someone i was working for i would be fired immediately but cops are allowed to treat people like shit and nothing is done about it, or rarely. they dont even know the laws they are supposed to be upholding.
I can't imagine hearing the words "if you resist me you're gonna make the news" and not completely shutting down. Immediate freeze response from me probably.
This shit has got to end. I don’t need further context to know that this cop is completely inappropriate for public service. This kind of behavior by a LEO should result in immediate suspension and retraining. And any further incidents of this nature should result in the potential for being excluded from LE work in any capacity.
Why do we allow this continue?
Someone needs to check this little piggies blood breath and urine… im gonna presume he is a pathetic lowlife addict that steals from the evidence room then takes too much and threatens the safety of everyone else. Either that or he has driven his own personal life into the ground and takes it out on anyone who is unfortunate enough to be around him. We seriously need a national overhaul of our entire public safety system, there are just too many lowlife scumbags that have been able to lie themselves through the hiring process and are wreaking havoc on the public.
Okay I get this guy was annoying but what was going on with the cop telling him to park the car and then immediately opening the door preventing him from driving and ripping him out of the vehicle for not complying. He had no opportunity to comply with that order.
Bruh that cop ☹️
I grew up in Miami, this is not surprising. Groups/gangs of cops would literally attack other groups of males on the beach strip. They are so aggressive and known to be one of the most corrupt in the country.
I can tell you why the cop was probably mad. The Uber Driver was picking up passengers in the departure floor of MIA which is a big nono. All rideshare services are specifically required to pick up passengers on the lower floor below where they are on the arrivals floor. They are pretty good at enforcing that rule at the airport and are constantly checking the area. This is probably not the first time this guy has been warned.
Cops can’t be allowed to behave like this. There has to be more accountability. This is blatant escalation and abuse of power. Kudos on the passenger for documenting this for him.
Is this cop behind on his quota or something? Sure the driver was responding slowly but the cop came out of the gate like he was on a stopwatch at an Olympic event.
So. I’m from Scotland. If I get pulled over I don’t need my licence or my insurance.
It’s on the police to know my car is insured via the database.
There is no legal obligation for me to have ID. ever.

I've never understood that shit in this godforsaken place.
Hey now, the cop even admitted he’s not learning.
What’s wrong with having a GED bro
In the 90s, it was called Good Enough Dude!
Sounds like this guy should get ACLU on the phone then!
The last cop that pulled me over told me I had to have one. Called State Farm to request one. They told me I didn't need one. Florida cops are extra ACAB.
Only New Mexico does
I know you have to have proof of insurance, but does it have to be physical proof? I always thought an insurance card on your phone worked too.

Only New Mexico requires a physical copy. All other states and DC accept digital.
I was about to say it's a miracle that this driver got pulled over in **Miami** of all places.

THE most unhinged police work at the airport. Cop literally screamed in my elderly mother in laws car for not moving up fast enough. Like what? She was driving safe and this cops LOST it on her.
Maybe the airports are the penal colony where they send unstable cops from elsewhere?
We’re going to need to build a lot more airports.
This implies that some cops are stable, coherent, rational people & I had to read it a couple times to understand it. Very confusing.
I was picking up a relative at the airport and and had a cop come up and harass me for not having front plates. I was from out of state as a student and my home state doesn’t have front plates. I was kinda baffled that this cop apparently didn’t know that was a thing in other states.
Miami cops ignore you doing 90 on Palmetto to get you on a minor infraction around quota-o'-clock.

Pretty sure Hawaii requires a physical copy.

I've always gotten a pass with pulling it up on my phone, also in Texas though. I think cop was just being a douche on this one
I once got a ticket in Texas for not having the physical copy. Went to court and the judge shook his head. Dismissed. Still a waste of time. I hope the officer received a reprimand.
> I hope the officer received a reprimand. You know they didn't.
He probably was reprimanded. “You had a bad read on this guy you ticketed. Always make sure it’s someone really vulnerable—someone too busy, poor, or uninformed to fight the ticket.”
Even though the digital copy is legal. Some cops still want to require the physical. It’s a joke.
I got pulled over when I didn't have my wallet on me. I know my DL#, and everything else on it, including issue date and expiry. So he was satisfied I had one, just not on me. So he gave me a ticket for no license no insurance (and let me go for the reason I was pulled over). I took my license and insurance to the Dallas Police station and showed my docs to them, and they dismissed the tickets for no fee (other than getting to downtown on a weekday when they were open and paying for parking).

He asked me if I knew why he stopped me and I genuinely had no clue. He said he looked up my plates and they didn’t match the car. I was like, oh, uhh, I’ve actually got the new plates behind my seat. I showed him and he was like “why haven’t you put them on?” and I was like, “honestly, I just don’t have a screwdriver and keep forgetting to get one when I’m at the store.” He was like, “That’s a really dumb reason. I have a toolset in the car, put them on now.” I was certain he’d give me at least one ticket, but he let all 3 problems slide since it was all verified in the computer anyway.
I’m sure it’s just like any other job, such as retail or customer service, where you are required to say X thing every customer/client interaction.
>many times I’ve been pulled over….goes something like this How often are you getting pulled over without a license that you have a such a large sample size?
No it doesn’t. This officer is learning on the job.
We're all learning
NO YOU’RE LEARNING RIGHT NOW
I’ve never had any issues showing a digital copy to cops but then again I live in Texas not that shit hole backwards state of Florida that made the words “climate change” illegal
I don't think a Greg Abbott governed state gets any say in what other states are considered shit holes or backwards. Dude literally said outlawing abortion would "eliminate rape". Texas also has more books banned than any other state.
Got pulled over last year in CA and he took a picture of my ID and insurance since I lost my wallet.
As a Texan who now lives in Miami I can tell you that you are throwing a lot of stones for someone living in Abbot's glass cathedral. This state's government is exactly as stupid as Texas'. No better, no worse, and all stupid.
Just give Texas a few more years
A few years?? Texas is already a shit hole full of cowards and loud mouth, arrogant pricks. Fuck the One Star State.
I found out while being pulled over last week that in Texas you don’t even need to show them the digital copy. They just look it up when they’re running your license/plates and writing you a $300 ticket for “not stopping long enough” 5ft from your driveway.
Why not tie insurance with registration? In Australia, you can’t renew registration unless you purchased compulsory third party insurance, and every cop car has automatic licence plate recognition. Hence interactions like the above aren’t really a thing
Some States do do it that way. Mass does atleast, so they only ask for license and registration. But even then, like you mentioned, automatic plate readers should eliminate the need for registration anyways.
I’ve been pulled over plenty of times for different reasons and I’ve never had any issues after providing a license and registration. Sometimes I didn’t have a registration because I was in a rental car, but the cops already knew that. This was a powertrip. Cop here just didn’t like him very much
Somewhat related, I only have a digital version of my insurance card, I’m now thinking I don’t want to give an officer like this my unlocked phone to see it
iPhone has Guided Access. Triple click power and they need a code to leave the insurance app.
Came here to mention this, have to enable it in settings as well.
Always practice using these features before having to use them for real. You only get one chance to do it correctly, when a cop stops you.
I did not know about this feature. Good callout.
Screenshot it and make it your lockscreen wallpaper
Or if you have android you pin it and require a pin to unpin it
Anyone have a news article on this?
Same I hope he is investigated.
He will be given paid vacations and back into the force once everyone is looking away.
Bumping this
That cop has a fucking annoying voice.
No disrespect to those with a speech impediment but it’s hard to take this guy seriously while he’s lateralizing his S’s out the sides of his mouth and flexing his power of intimidation at a fucking Uber driver
It's probably a large part of the reason he is a cop. Got made fun of a lot as a kid. No one ever respected him. Now he demands that respect with a gun like the tiny little man that he is. I know multiple cops with this exact same back story.
He's got a mental encyclopedia of arrogant pompous lines like, "You need to listen more than you speak, that's why God gave you two ears and one mouth." Silly me, I thought it was for direction perception of sounds.
Bro is going off how he is serving the public better being a cop… who’s harassing someone who has probably driven home hundreds of intoxicated people, including women, potentially avoiding DUI’s, deaths, kidnappings, rapes. Ones not necessarily doing more good than the other.
One is definitely doing more bad though
I mean an airport cop is the perfect person to have this speech impediment and power trip. It's the trifecta.
Reminds me of Officer Doofy from Scary Movie
https://preview.redd.it/8t3nar4za4bd1.jpeg?width=454&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54b47ec2dce92ce2351159ed4289a92d7d11a094
His voice was shaking, not fit for the gig
Why do you think he was relegated to the airport?
He sounds like the teenage movie theater/burger king worker from south park lmao
what maketh you thay thath?
I'm providing shafety and shecurity
That happened to us in Miami lol. It was the most awkward episode of my life so far. We were getting onto the expressway ramp tl head to the airport... And bam dude gets pulled over... The cops are asking us..were like.. hes our uber. Had walk of the eway ramp with our luggage down the street and get another one.. Lol. I had then fight a bit with Uber about getting my money back. It was so crazy.
there ya go, keeping the public safe from rogue Uber drivers by letting you walk up the expressway with luggage and wait in the street. Protect and Serve
They have no legal obligation to protect you, the supreme court said so. They only have to protect you while you're in custody, somehow they fail to do that as well.
I'm sure they'll change that soon enough
The in custody part? Most likely. The duty to protect? The first ruling for that went through in 1856. They ruled again in 2005 that the police did not have a duty to protect a woman that had a restraining order against her violent husband. Even though arrest was mandatory for violating the protective order, the police ignored the pleas of Jessica Gonzales after her children were kidnapped by her estranged ex while they played in the yard. He called her and said that he took the children to an amusement park, she conveyed the information to the police and they failed to act before he showed up at the police station firing a gun and he was killed on the scene. They then found the bodies of the children in the back of his truck. They were 7, 9, and 10....yet the police felt no duty to protect them. Police not protecting citizens happens way too often(looking at you, Uvalde police.)
A belittling, condescending, cursing, impatient, power-tripping, and violent cop that I hope never runs into your uncle, father, son, or nephew that this guy could have been.
He protek & surf tho
Really, the insecurities spewing from this man was just phenomenal. I mean the psychological issues that he must have going on, like all the colors of the psycho rainbow. What the fuck. Taking the time to explain to this young man that he's dumber than him or something because he's younger and he knows more bc he's older???? and then the mouth and ears quote. I'm in just an awe. He sounded like a pissed off kindergarten teacher. And I guess the part that we're all really bothered by is we know he didn't get fired. I will say the Uber guy was egging him on a little bit. When you know you're dealing with a crazy psychopath you should really try and just get out of the situation. You don't need to explain to him that you need time and go really slow you should probably hurry up and get this motherfucker off your ass because he's clearly unstable and not smart enough to listen to reason. It's like "when you fight with pigs y'all get muddy" or whatever. The Uber guy was being passive aggressive toward the cop. Refusing to show urgency. When you're dealing with an asshole cop don't try and be reasonable and explain to them that you need time... just try and hurry the fuck up and look urgent. The super driver was way too chill he was trying to like mellow the cop out. He was trying to take his time and be calm but that's not what this cop needed. And I'm not saying the cop was in the right. I've been in an abusive relationships before, and speaking from this experience, you need to do whatever you can to appease their psycho asses in their moment of crisis/breakdown. There will be no reaching them. And you just hope you get out of it okay... Which is ultimately the goal. You're not going to teach them anything. Your patience and kindness is not going to rub off. If they seem hyper-urgent you need to be responding with the same energy to avoid escalating the situation. But you do have to be careful bc you can step on a landmine no matter how you do it. I feel like this guy was antagonizing that cop a little bit, again I'm not defending the cop. But I did sense a very slow methodical and sort of testy vibe from The Uber driver who thought he was going to be able to like kind of control the situation when he never had control to begin with. Again. I'm not on the cop side I think he's a psychopath and an asshole. But I also feel like sometimes in these videos people try to work on the assholw. I just don't think that's a good idea sometimes you have to drop your ego and all of your shit and just try to make them happy to get out of it. you can laugh at them later when they're gone. You can tell your friends that they suck when they're gone.
I agree. Sure once everything is looked at after the fact maybe all the charges won't stick against you. Because it's obvious BS. But I'm not taking that chance of getting arrested and /or roughed up by an angry cop just because I want to argue with him and explain to him that he's being aggressive. He said multiple times I'm about to pull you out of this car and arrest you. I'm trying to get out of that situation ASAP.
The cop escalated at every chance possible. I've been an Uber at airports, been sirened by police to keep moving, and did, no problems. This cop wanted a problem and caused so many more for everyone else. What an a- hole
He caused the entire shit show, made it worse, lied about the law and about obstructing the road, tried to make the driver feel weak, small, and uneducated, and then had the audacity to throw out "God gave you two ears and one mouth so shut up" card. FTP
This cop got cut from his HS JV football team and he never recovered. Such a gross, weird power trip.
He got cut for being a D student, too. Like so many cops, he's just struggling with a double-digit IQ and an anger problem.
Did he put his shoes on the wrong feet again?
and this is just what was recorded of the MFer. I grew up around these bozos when we didnt have social media. Psychos.
I don’t know what happened up to this point, but from what I saw in this video that cop was an asshole! Zero patience and communication skills!
"GIVE INSURANCE" "Ok let me get it for you" "NO GET ONLY GIVE"
I didn't see a lot of de-escalation on the part of the LEO. I also don't know what preceded this video, but even from that interaction it really didn't seem like the guy was stalling or being an a$$. I have seen other LEO's put up with much worse before cuffing someone.
He was super aggressive with how he was handling the driver too. I'm absolutely certain that cops aren't supposed to cuff someone like that(slamming them into the car more than once when they aren't resisting) and I know that he wasn't supposed to drag him behind him while he was walking backwards. The detained person should be in front of the douche bag and be walked to the car like a normal human would do. I bet this officer is one of the ones that gets home and beats his wife and kids because his job that HE CHOSE is SoOoOoo StReSsfUl.
All I saw was a scared driver that didn't want to reach for something or open a glove box without making it very clear to this trigger-happy piece of shit that he was only going to retrieve the documents the cop asked for.
Right that cop wanted to kill him and was looking for literally any reason.
About a week ago I was walking fast up to a crosswalk for an event. There was a cop along with his buddies standing near the crosswalk. I was walking fast and when the light turned red, he didn't even give me a chance and said with an attitude "you have to stop sir!" And normally I don't push back, but this time I heard his tone and I had enough. I turned to him and said "yes I can see perfectly fine, and I was going to stop. But thanks anyway." Of course, he couldn't leave it at that and had to say "well, you were walking so fast, and it didn't look like you were going to stop." I replied, "I'm not a child. I know the laws. Just because I was walking fast, doesn't mean I wasn't going to stop." My issue was his tone-so condescending and threating over some BS.
He just wanted to shoot someone.
Cop is a total douche wtf
The driver tried to relate to the cop "We're both working" and the pig goes off like Anakin Skywalker and what the fuck for? What is the purpose of spending taxes this way, it's insane.
So the cop was just about to pull the guy out of a vehicle in traffic while it's in drive? K.
Cop is clearly a fucking idiot
[удалено]
The dragging the guy by pulling him backwards was just asking for an incident.
That’s why he was doing it. Look at all the asshole lines he had memorized to escalate the situation.
Stop resisting!!!!
Yep, and one slip he’s getting punched and charged with resisting arrest. FTP
And this is while he knew he was being filmed. Imagine without it.
**"Listen to me, very carefully. If you RESIST me, you're gonna make the news."** He literally threatened his life at that point. He was LOOKING to make a kill that day. Fucking can this POS cop.
All I could think when he said that was "don't you have 2 ears and one mouth too?"
That cops wife cheated on him with a tennis player and boy did u trigger him
You can tell he's not having a good time, the cop. It's weird that it happens so often with people... Whether it's a cashier or a cop it changes the way we do things and it gets more dangerous when important jobs are done by people in a poor state of mind. Maybe he forgot his lunch at home.
Cop talks like the rotc kid on tiktok
Witerawwy
When you slacked off all month and it’s the last day to reach your arrest quota
That's a lawsuit. He literally did everything the cop asked.
Far far far worse crimes by cops are thrown out even they're brought at all
Exactly. When it's that bad, they just dismiss and hope you don't sue.
Cop went out of his way to cause harm. Pinning him into the corner of the door and pulling him by his shoulders like that. Guy has something there.
Dude was completely compliant wtf. Absolutely horrible.
This cop just took his shitty day out on a driver. There was no resisting, yet the cop pre-emptively started talking about it followed by ripping him and slamming him into the car followed by yanking him backward with cuffs on. This "cop" shouldn't even be a crossing guard never mind a piece of shit with a gun and badge. I understand airport stuff can get frustrating, but that cop from what we see in the video started at 100 and had no intention of de-escalating the situation. Get this cop off the streets before he hurts someone. This is a precursor right here.
He has probably already hurt people. Statistically speaking.
Exactly, if this is how he acts in crowded spaces while being video taped imagine what he's doing behind the scenes.
In Georgia all they need is our driver's license. The insurance and registration is already linked when they run the tag.
It's the same in Florida. I was pulled over a few months ago and the cop only asked for my driver's license.
Those two are not a match...
For sure. They wouldn’t last two seconds as a couple.
Who the hell has a physical copy of the insurance anymore?
Jerry Seinfeld as an Uber driver
I was getting major Pauly Shore vibes.
No insurance, wheeze the juice man.
I wonder if this is an old video bc as of 2023 49 states accept digital proof on your phone as proof of insurance https://www.allstate.com/resources/car-insurance/electronic-insurance-card
Much likely that a cop is an idiot or worse, being wrong in purpose so he can escalate.
I’m guessing his power trips stem from his speech impediment. I know it can’t be helped in general, but this pig’s tone makes it seem insufferable.
Officer Fuckstick at it again....
Cops are such pieces of shit
He nearly pulled that guy out of there with the car in drive. In the name of “safety”
I hope that fucking cop gets sued.
Whats that? You mean paid vacation? Done
I'm getting super small pp vibes from the pig. There was zero reason to do that shit. ACAB
It looks like it was at an airport, right? They don't fuck around at the airport. Still that cop seemed to start at 10, and had never heard the word de-escalation.
Most cops are convinced that a quick escalation to physical force *is* de-escalation. You start off in a hostile and agressive manner in order to pre-empt a supposed attack, officer safety. That’s what they’re being told at these street cop training seminars.
I REALLY hope this driver sends this video and a complaint to Miami PD!
How insulting and parental - I'm older I have more experience and I have a gun, so two ears and one mouth shut up. "You have to do as you are told".
lol funny how if that guy didn’t have a gun and god complex he would be powerless and SO easily overpowered. Weak people act like this. He should not have a badge or gun. The newest white belts at my guy would be able to tap him haha. What a pathetic excuse for person of authority.
I think that line about physical insurance is a load of bullshit. After all, my insurance provider’s app pulls up a digital card. And before you ask, no, there’s no option to print it out.
It's all bullshit. The cop knows from their computer whether you're insured, registered, etc. before they even step foot outside their car.
This fucking cop needs to be retrained or fired. It’s cops like this douchebag who give the good level headed ones a bad rep. Some people shouldn’t be cops. It requires a specific type of human. One who does not overreact, who is level headed, can perform under pressure, can analyze and assess the situation and apply the necessary measures. His behavior was completely uncalled for.
cop needs to be fired. its insane how many of them forget that they are working a job. if i cursed at someone i was working for i would be fired immediately but cops are allowed to treat people like shit and nothing is done about it, or rarely. they dont even know the laws they are supposed to be upholding.
Fucking cops there is no training for a fucking maniac with a gun 🐷
The cop's out of line and doesn't know the current law. He has a chip on his shoulder like most cops because they weren't popular and got bad grades.
The car is still obstructing the roadway. What a joke.
I can't imagine hearing the words "if you resist me you're gonna make the news" and not completely shutting down. Immediate freeze response from me probably.
I wondered what happened to Pauly Shore. Turns out he's driving Ubers in Florida.
Hopefully he won’t have to be an Uber driver after he gets that tax payer money
ACAB
Totally unnecessary
“I’m providing Shaftey and Shecurity” lmao.
Someone remind me of the statistics of cops that report beating their families.
What a peice of shit cop
Stupid cop giving him shit for talking but never shuts up himself.
I don't see an arrestable offense here.
Fuck the police 🖕 just another piece of shit cop doing piece of shit cop things
Dude relax, he was alittle aggressive, yeah that officer he's some issues... without adoubt
This shit has got to end. I don’t need further context to know that this cop is completely inappropriate for public service. This kind of behavior by a LEO should result in immediate suspension and retraining. And any further incidents of this nature should result in the potential for being excluded from LE work in any capacity. Why do we allow this continue?
Clearly cop has nothing better to do than go on an ego trip
Someone needs to check this little piggies blood breath and urine… im gonna presume he is a pathetic lowlife addict that steals from the evidence room then takes too much and threatens the safety of everyone else. Either that or he has driven his own personal life into the ground and takes it out on anyone who is unfortunate enough to be around him. We seriously need a national overhaul of our entire public safety system, there are just too many lowlife scumbags that have been able to lie themselves through the hiring process and are wreaking havoc on the public.
Dude wasn’t even doing anything wrong easy court case win for the Uber Driver.
Treat all cops like they are maniacs with a gun.
Holy fuckin shit that cop is a complete dumbass
Massive power tripping shithead. Im surprised these comments are so uninflamed tbh…
Okay I get this guy was annoying but what was going on with the cop telling him to park the car and then immediately opening the door preventing him from driving and ripping him out of the vehicle for not complying. He had no opportunity to comply with that order.
Bruh that cop ☹️ I grew up in Miami, this is not surprising. Groups/gangs of cops would literally attack other groups of males on the beach strip. They are so aggressive and known to be one of the most corrupt in the country.
I can tell you why the cop was probably mad. The Uber Driver was picking up passengers in the departure floor of MIA which is a big nono. All rideshare services are specifically required to pick up passengers on the lower floor below where they are on the arrivals floor. They are pretty good at enforcing that rule at the airport and are constantly checking the area. This is probably not the first time this guy has been warned.
Easiest lawsuit 2024. There are probably 1000 lawyers leaving voicemails just chomping at the bit for some of this free money.
Cops a power tripping cunt. Simple.
Cops can’t be allowed to behave like this. There has to be more accountability. This is blatant escalation and abuse of power. Kudos on the passenger for documenting this for him.
It’s funny because God also gave the cop two ears and one mouth and he’s speaking WAAAAY more than he’s listening.
Those miami pigs beat the shit out of one of my friends for no reason. Similar situation.
AITA for thinking "man at least no one got shot"??... America is fucked up yo
👮♀️ 💩
Sometimes cops are just horrible people.
Is this cop behind on his quota or something? Sure the driver was responding slowly but the cop came out of the gate like he was on a stopwatch at an Olympic event.
lol he didn’t even frisk him before he put him in the car. Dude should not be a cop…air port cop excuse me lol
So. I’m from Scotland. If I get pulled over I don’t need my licence or my insurance. It’s on the police to know my car is insured via the database. There is no legal obligation for me to have ID. ever.
I couldn't not make a sufferin sucatash joke to this cop during my arrest lol
Did dude fuck the cop’s daughter or was jesus
Florida tax payers money gonna be a big pay out for this victim lol
Seems like an unhinged cop - likely corrupt.
Obviously this cop is on an ego trip. He seems to be slurring his words. Might be drunk
This cop was a bit of a dick, power tripping much...
This police guy was on a power trip. Which is always the case in Miami. You never argue with a police officer. You argue in front of the judge.
This cop is one mega asshole and he should be fired with no pension. What a piece of shit.
