Watch What Happens When a Citizen Pulls Over A Cop & Tells Him He’s Breaking the Law

I applaud both parties. The LEO was at first hesitant but then respectful and seemed willing to learn something and the guy who questioned the officer was within his right as well as respectful. He respectfully gave the officer a lesson and a “warning” without further incident or escalation which is how more interactions between officers and civilians should be handled regardless of which party initiates.

    Outstanding! We have insulated the police so much that they think they are above the law. It doesn't help we have all these TV shows set up for us to root for the police to get the bad guy by cheating and ignoring the law

      We used to have more "Peace Officers." Now many are just revenuers with superiority issues. I like the occasional good ones. In my area we once had police officers that patrolled the area they lived in, but the higher ups didn't think they were bringing in enough revenue because they knew their neighbors and gave out more warnings and kept the peace. Now the officers are reassigned to areas in which they have no connection with the residents. I guess this makes it easier to write tickets...

      They are, in actuality -- not just thinking, above the law. If you don't believe that, ask them. Or better yet, pick one atrocious act committed by a policeman against a citizen, follow the case and note that the cop got several weeks or longer paid vacation or easy desk job, then continues on with his job.

    this was really a kind of prank, as I see it;;; the guy
    should have been working through his State representative
    to correct the systematic violation of State law by the local officer.
    and perhaps he had already done that -- and perhaps he was
    immensely frustrated with the bureaucratic delays. I sure would be. -- j

    p.s. by the link provided by Commander, above, this is a matter
    of contention, and the adherence to the State law is being
    resisted by the locals. the prank may be a good idea. it might
    apply pressure if it is well viewed and publicized.

    That was really cool. We pay for the police to do what WE want, and not what they feel like doing once they have the "power".

    A good productive exchange between the officer and the citizen. Sounds like the officer learned something, hopefully. Mutual respect on both sides is refreshing.

      But I have to wonder if he complied with the law or just continued his shift??? Here in San Antonio, the cars look like any other car on the road unless you look at the side. They have holographic police labels on the doors. Hard to spot if you are in front or behind them.
