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..."

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
