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..."

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By Super Grateful · Posted

      the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
