If you insist on stunt driving/riding, at least don't give the cops any more to humiliate you with

You're telling me that guy was sober?
 
WTF is it these days with some young people and their birthdays...?
'Had one 20-something female run to the union over being denied a paid day off..
Her reason..?

"It’s my birthday!"
 
Difficult as it is to generate any sympathy for such an irritatingly whiny and entitled kid, am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with the tone of these sorts of posts from various police departments? There's a sort of prurient glee and smugness in them that I find off-putting, especially considering the endless examples of the police themselves making equivalently stupid mistakes or behaving in a far worse manner. Especially considering the multiple cases of them abusing the roadside conviction without a trial (e.g. guilty until proven innocent) process, be it through incompetence, greed or malice...
 
'Public relations/media officers gotta justify their positions somehow...

"Look at us... We caught a speeder!!"

Okay... cool.

Now show us the deets on the Kotanko case.
 
It’s a thankless job. We see it every day. They deal with it every day. They never seem to see the offender we just saw doing stupid stuff and we get pulled over for something minor in our opinion and might even have a bit of an attitude when it happens.

I get social feeds of Karen’s or sovereign citizen giving the LEO the gears and then the opposite with LEOs giving the driver the gears and it turns out the driver was a high ranking officer themselves. Most of which is click bait and not reality.

I think they need to post these things because a lot of us don’t think they do enough or we see too much getting away with it.

Absolutely. That was the whole point of my post. The police take great pleasure at ridiculing suspects after what is essentially a circumvention of due process. Don't let them add insult to injury by giving them even more reasons to mock you publically.

100% agree.

Of course, people are people and there are good people and bad people.

But cops are not regular people, they are interviewed, selected and trained for this job and should be held to a much higher standard than the people they are stopping on the roads.

Fun video and all, and scratches that Disapproval-Bait itch, but a tad unprofessional, IMHO.

If an accountant made a case study of one of his clients - privacy issues aside - mocking their saving/spending habits in a public YouTube or TikTok video purely for entertainment value, I'd feel the same way about their professionalism.

Despite the screening plenty of ill suited people manage to get hired.
 
The superficially low speed limit is 70, which means in an average car, the limit should be probably 95. Now raise that because it's a supercar that handles well and you're at probably about 110. Really, the person was only speeding by 20km/h.
