Kid was within his rights, cops got pissed because he wouldn't obey them...

Kid was trying to make a point and the cops kind of walked into to.

If you're driving, I think it's reasonable for cops to ask for your drivers license and registration since those documents are required for driving.

Had this been an adult, the cops probably wouldn't have given him a hard time... Maybe... Well, unless he was non-white.

Yea, because asking him to roll down his window was such an intrusion.

Guy intended to be an ass and he accomplished his task.

He is wasting everyone's time including those behind him waiting in line.

Lol. Wasting time? The cops were the ones wasting peoples time, stopping everyone without reasonable suspicion. The dude played it almost perfectly. The cops tactics worked and the kid got a little spooked. I wouldn't have gotten out of the vehicle.

No it wasn't much of an intrusion... But by law all you're required to do is communicate with the officers so that they can see you're sober. They didn't have a reasonable suspicion that he wasn't sober, they were just pissed off at him. The kid was trying to make a point but the cops decided that they were going to make one too. This is exactly the kind of attitude (by the cops) that makes people wary of them.

The sensible thing for them to do was to talk to the kid thru the cracked window, politely explain that it's better for everyone if he is more cooperative and once they see he's sober and just trying to film them/make a point, tell him to move on.

I love how kids like this think these checkpoints have never been adjudicated by the SCOUS and their constitutionality established.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Dept._of_State_Police_v._Sitz

By a 6-3 decision the court held that these stops are "reasonable search and seizure" and that brief questioning to establish suspicion or lack thereof was permissible.

The kid is a Dickbag with a camera and no respect or regard for others.

That's why the cops changed their tune the minute they saw the camera. If they knew they had done everything by the book, they would not have done the 180 once they found the camera or cell phone or whatever. I would almost guarantee if a local media outlet was filming this the cops behavior would have been much different.

 

 

Cops were trying to do their jobs in keeping drunk drivers off the road. Guy was a complete douchenozzles.

Then why didn't they ask the most obvious, and usually the very first, question: Have you had anything to drink tonite? The cops never even so much as mentioned the reason for the checkpoint- they simply began telling the kid to roll down the window and it escalated from there. Never got to the part about it being a DUI checkpoint, never asked any questions related to drinking and driving. The kid baited the cops and the cops took it hook, line and sinker.

 

He is wasting everyone's time including those behind him waiting in line.

He was ordered to pull the car over, he was no longer in line.

 

 

The problem with a lot of cops is the minute you don't lock-step obey and, without hesitation or question, do exactly as they say, they think you're being disrespectful and you're guilty of every unsolved crime they have on the books.

 

The fact of the matter is this kid was not being disrespectful, he wasn't being a smart-ass, he was simply asking questions the cops could not or would not answer and they got pissed and lost control of the situation. "Oh yeah? You don't want to roll down your window more than the 6" it's already down? We'll show you..."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
