27:02 I once heard an RA say over the PA system "whoever's smoking weed on the third floor, stop. You might set off the fire alarm, and it's pouring rain. No one wants to go outside right now."
6:47 Imagine if the charger was also an undercover cop. Like that one news story in Detroit where one precinct had cops disguised as drug dealers and another precinct had cops disguised as drug buyers, and the two groups tried to arrest each other. That one is definitely my favorite news story.
I live in MB and he has pulled over many people bc no one ever suspects him. He is also never around any other cop cars nor is he ever at the precinct. He is very good at catching people off guard.
if you're in east TX, and a bright red dumptruck with a silver back is following you, do 1 mph under the limit. that sucker is an unmarked state DPS (trooper) monster drivetrain truck and can do 160 in the shade. the big pieces are aluminum or fiberglass, and it can flat get it! it's Legend.
My daughter, who lived in Texas, visited us in Colorado. Before she left to go home, I warned her repeatedly about taking pot back to Texas and not to speed through the myriad speed traps in the Panhandle. Sure enough, she loads up on chewables. Then she speeds through a little town in the Panhandle, state trooper pulls her over. She had the common sense to put the chewables in the trunk, but she left the receipt for them on the dashboard in plain site. BAM--probable cause, trooper searches trunk, finds pot. Jail in Podunk, TX is no fun--and expensive.
1:10:00 Witnessed an accident where the driver and passenger were both ejected. The passenger, the wife, landed on her head and broke her neck, died instantly. The driver was not as lucky. The car rolled over him crushing his body, breaking most of his bones but leaving his head intact. He was fully conscious and aware for about 30 minutes before he died, just after the paramedics arrived. It took so long because it was a very remote location and it was very foggy. The guy had crashed because of the thick fog, visibility was about 50 feet. He had been driving the posted speed limit of 70. FYI: The speed limit is *ALWAYS* only as fast as is safe. The posted speed limit is the maximum speed if conditions are perfect, dry road with good visibility. If conditions are poor, wet or icy road, poor visibility, or other high winds, the speed limit may be *MUCH* lower than what is posted. Conditions at the time required a speed no more than 20 MPH, but because so many people are stupid, you have to go faster or some dumb ass doing 70 MPH will cream you, then blame you for the crash. Personally, I wish it was harder to get and keep a license. If you need to be told to slow down in fog, or don't text and drive, you have no business driving a car.
I was driving late at night, rural highway in between small towns. Thankfully I knew the road well enough that I knew what was coming up. I could see at most two or three car lengths up ahead. So I’m driving slow just in case there is a car up ahead or some deer, which is common. I turn onto the road that’s about a mile or so from my place and the speed limit is 25. I was going 20. This yahoo passed me... like I know I’m slow but I’d rather get there safely, you know? What is the rush?
1:34 Learned from a police officer: if you're being held at gunpoint while driving a car and you see a police car, tap their bumper or fender. You haven't disabled the patrol car, but you now have that officer's undivided attention. (Drastic, but keep in mind that the situation I described is probably going to end in murder)
If anyone else was also curious about what would happen if you swallowed crack cocaine, here you go: This is a common practice when stored by police because you can't be charged with possession if it's in your stomach, apparently. It takes a lot more crack to mess you up when it's swallowed than it takes if you smoke it, so unless it was a large amount, you'd probably get a milder high iif anything at all. You may also end up with an ulcer as your digestive fluids break it down because of all the crap in it. Apparently a lot of people are curious about how it works on drug forums.
Not only just to "get rid of" the crack/drugs but also because if you tell a police officer that you swallowed dope (regardless of the kind of dope and regardless of whether you actually DID swallow dope) they are legally REQUIRED by law to take you to a hospital....which is..well...not the jail. Obviously! And a lot of times people will escape custody somehow while being treated at the hospital, its also relatively common that they will be released from custody all together (for varying reasons). I think a lot of times the police just decide that the amount of time and effort required to monitor someone and be stuck sitting around the hospital doing nothing isnt worth such a petty charge against a low level non violent criminal.
@@emilydotbug yeah that sounds reasonable. Plus, what stree they going to charge them with if they ate the evidence? They can't be charged with intent to sell because there's nothing to sell, and they're not in possession of anything. They could maybe still get charged with selling if the cop caught them in the act but that is still a hassle for the cop if it wasn't a large amount. They'd probably just figure they'll get them next time.
My mom has to deal with one of these kinds of cases in the ER. This guy had swallowed a bag of meth. So the cop brought him into the ER where he as given laxatives. let's just say when my mom refused to go digging for the evidence and informed the cop that was his job to collect it if he wanted it. It left him in a shitty situation.
My dad had a helper once (pipeline welder) and there was a small fire on a hill so the helper panicked and threw a wooden pallet on it, causing more fire. My dad gets shovels to throw dirt in the fire and the helper grabs one and starts slapping the fire with it, needless to say- the whole side of the hill caught fire that day
I used to work security, and one time I met this off duty police officer. We talked about funny shit that’s happened during shift, and he told me that one time him and his partner were getting out of a convenience store and they saw a dude snort a line of cocaine on the dashboard of his car. Well, they ran the plates and it turns out he stole the car!
Way back when, lived in a town that abutted another with a river dividing and being the state line. It was about 2 am and I was crossing on a full sidewalk on a bridge. At both ends are stop lights. There was a fellow that pulled up to the first light, it was red, and he had his GF in the car. There is NOTHING out there. Except a cop sitting on the tiny side alley after you cross that river and just before the second light-he's visible. I went to school with her, she was at school because her parents wanted rid of her, she was about as pretty and as smart as a brick. Her boyfriend, even less so. As I passed them sitting, he starts RAGING about why is he being SO STUPID as to sit at that light, physically grandly gesturing, then he says F-it and FLOORS IT. Across the bridge, across the state line, and blows the second light too which is red. Cop pops out and catches them half a block down, and I get there and walk past as he's being belligerent and doesn't want to oblige with anything. Such as ID or taking a breathalyzer. Later that morning at one class, she's there still half lit and crying her head off, as a cop stopped and roughed her BF up and both got arrested... she was underage and drunk, he was just barely legal and drunk, and driving, and blew two lights and crossed a state line, both apparently got it for resisting arrest. Daddy broke out a lawyer and got her bailed... She WISHED there had been someone to witness how the cops had treated them. I quietly went and filed a witness report. She withdrew shortly after that.
Jesus, what a story!!!! It reminded me of something that happened when I was in college. I was at work one afternoon, my long distance boyfriend, was in town visiting, so he went with a couple of my roommates to run some errands. Well, they're on the highway, when they realize they missed their exit. Now, this was a fairly rural area, so taking the next exit, then getting back on, wasn't as simple a task as it sounded. Being that it was the middle of a weekday, and there was almost no traffic in either direction, my boyfriend tells the driver, to just use the turn around/opening separating them from the oncoming cars. She says, "No way, not chancing it!!!" He repeats, "Just do it, there's absolutely no one around. If you get a ticket, I'll pay for it." Well, as I'm sure you can guess, he went back home the following week, with a few less hundred dollars in his pocket, because, wouldn't you know it, as soon as she started to make the turn, a sheriff came up into view, as they reached the top of the slight incline. Moral of the story, don't listen to ethically ambiguous people when they try to convince you to do something foolish.
I was sitting at a light once waiting for it to turn green. The light turned and I looked and saw a guy coming. It didn't look like he was going to stop so I stayed where I was. The cop, thinking I had not noticed the light change tooted his horn just as the guy went through the intersection at about 70 MPH. After he passed I continued through the light and the cop went after the guy. Once, when I was 16, I'd only had my license for about 4 months I came to a light that had a railroad crossing about 100 feet from the light. The guy ahead of me had stopped on the tracks so I stopped well behind him, leaving a place for the guy to go in case a train came. A cop stopped behind me. It should be noted the traffic light was set to stay red when a train came to keep traffic coming the other way from blocking the intersection. Sure enough, rat after we stopped the bells started going off and the guy behind me backed into the space I'd left for him. It was a long freight train so the cop stepped out, asked me how long I had been driving, I told him then he went to talk to the dumb ass who had stopped on the track. I have an idea what was said, because the cop pointed back at me a couple of times. Then the guy handed something to the cop. I figured it was his paper work but the cop handed me a $20 bill and said I'd done good. This was in 1986. $20 was more money then than it is today. Perhaps equal to $50 or $60 in today's money. It was a lot less than the fine for stopping on rail road tracks, and quite a lot less money than he would have had to pay for damage to railroad equipment he would have had to pay had I not opened a space for him.
@@judemelroses9920 You *ARE* financially rewarded for being a good drive. You will have lower insurance rates, fewer traffic tickets, and most important, fewer property damage and hospital bills. You can save huge amounts of money by being a good driver. The problem is, not many people look at it that way. Granted, the insurance saving is obvious, but not many people think about the traffic tickets they don't get or the car crashes that don't happen as saving money. But it is. Fines can be expensive and vehicle damage and hospital bills are even worse.
My Mom and brother and I went to go buy shoes, found a ring of people and cop cars around the jewelry store, which was right beside the shoe store. Mom asks what's happening, cop explains there's a hostage situation. Mom asks: "Can I go to the show store though? I need to get my kids shoes." All of our heads slowly turned to look at her as if they were on one gear, incredulous looks in our faces. "....No, lady!" was all the cop finally managed to say, which is when she snapped out of it, stopped being so focused on her goal and realized what she'd said. She explained that she was a single working mother and this was the first time in 3 weeks she'd had time to take us to the shoe store, my shoe had a hole in the sole so I really needed shoes, etc. (My fault since I hadn't told her about the hole until just recently.) He softened, and said "oh, ok, I get it but yeah, no, it's not safe. " I swear she wasn't a Karen, but she was very persistent and goal driven.
On the other side of stupid things, Many years ago I was driving a tow truck part time over-night and weekends while still going to school. We were called to a major accident on the highway. Our police contract dictates that we have to be on-site in under ten minutes from the police dispatch. Six tow trucks from our company of various sizes show up because police dispatch didn't have the information of exactly what or how many vehicles were involved, but the contract said that we had to clear the road at all costs. We arrived to a single vehicle accident, a semi, hauling twin tanks of gasoline. Both tanks split just enough to be streaming out a pretty good lake of gasoline about six inches deep, three lanes wide. We were told by the first arriving tow driver where to park to wait. We were standing on a berm about a hundred feet away while waiting for the fire department. This was well before haz-mat and environmental teams were thought of. Anyway, while waiting we see a police officer go to his trunk and break open a new case of highway safety flares. He wanted to make sure that drivers coming to the scene were aware of the accident. We asked him, where he was going with the flares. He was going right up to the accident scene, because he said, "I don't want anyone to drive into the gasoline." He then realised what he just said and what he was about to do. Lighting ten to fifteen highway safety flares within inches of a six inch lake of gasoline probably would have messed up his day a little.
Just after I got my driver’s license I was driving a car with standard transmission and every time I tried to go my car would creep a bit backwards and I would quickly hit the brake again. Finally I crept back so far that my back bumper was resting against the front bumper of the car behind me...a police car. I was crying when the cop came to my window and he just patted me on the shoulder and he and the driver behind him pushed on my car until I could get it going forwards. Nice guys😀
Not an emergency responder I worked for several years at a location where I would pass a police station while traveling to and from work. There was a traffic signal that allowed the police to exit their parking lot and get on the road going by the station. One morning I approach the light and it turns red. In the on coming lane is a motorcyclists who also stops. There is a police cruiser about to make a left hand turn in front of the motor cycle and proceed in the direction I am facing. The motor cyclist goes flying over the handle bars because they were rear ended by a car that failed to come to a stop, at a red light, in front of a police station with a police car right there. The officer had to put the roof flashers on before he had even gotten out of the parking lot.
I onve ran a red light on accident lol. I'm from a small town up north and was visiting one of the bigger, more populated and complicated cities further south to visit some friends. I was lost as all hell, struggling to find my destination and after arriving at the same intersection for the fourth time I was frustrated to the point of tears and just drove through it, still failing to notice that the intersection had a street light on it and apparently managed to go at red right in front of a police car who proceeded to pull me over. I freaked out and explained that I was lost, apologized profusely and asked for directions. They didn't know how to get where I wanted to go, but I was let go after they checked my lisence. I guess they felt sorry for me or something, didn't get a ticket but I was super embarrassed.
6:20 an acquaintance told me to drive around the east side of our police ops hq, during a visit to the detectives' house. you see all those "unmarked" cars? all seized in drug busts. bmw, benz, lexus, navigators, and yes about 3 of them dodge chargers. insane. oh, and one red 90s honda civic (i fantasized about what engine and trans that thing had). :D
When mom was pregnant with me back in '94 there was a field fire near the house. Police and firefights were evacuating nearby houses. This is the basic exchange... Cop: Ma'am? we need you to evacuate right now. there is a fire nearby and your house is at risk of catching fire Mom: No, I'm fine. Cop: Ma'am? I don't think you understand. You are in danger. Mom: No you don't understand! I just got off work and I'm hungry. Cop: ...Ma'am, we need to get you safe. You can have a sandwich later Mom: NO! I will have my sandwich now! * proceeds to make a sandwich and eat it while watching the fire from the kitchen window * The neighbor's house caught fire but not ours. I now think my mom is crazy after hearing this story.
Yeesh. Mom's, am I right? My Mom and brother and I went to go buy shoes, found a ring of people and cop cars around the jewelry store, which was right beside the shoe store. Mom asks what's happening, cop explains there's a hostage situation. Mom asks: "Can I go to the show store though? I need to get my kids shoes." All of our heads slowly turned to look at her as if they were on one gear, incredulous looks on our faces. "....No, lady(!)." was all the cop finally managed to say, which is when she stopped being so focused on her goal and realized what she'd said. She explained that she was a single working mother and this was the first time in 3 weeks she'd had time to take us to the shoe store. He softened, and said "oh, ok, I get it but yeah, no, it's not safe. " I swear she wasn't a Karen, but she was very persistent and goal driven.
City police officer told me about how she and her County Sheriff Deputy husband are off duty, in street clothes in a convenience store in a nearby small town when three guys that they busted before come in and tell them that they "brought their 9s" and that they're going to kill them as soon as they walk out the door. They leave. Sheriff's Deputy pulls out his cell phone and calls for backup. Needless to say they were all busted (again.) Not sure whether the 3 guys have heard of these new-fangled communication devices called telephones.
I'm a security officer, once chased a guy down who attempted to break in to a store, he climbed to the top of a nearby pharmacy's roof somehow and then he could not climb down because he didn't know how. Even more interesting the pharmacy is about 150 meters away from a police station...what an idiot.
I work at a grocery store, we do bottle returns, for those who don't know what that is basically you can return a bottle to be recycled and get ten cents per bottle to encourage recycling and provide a way for the poor to get money. We have a machine that will do the counts for us so we don't have to count them by hand. We used to have two machines until one day a man tried to break into one of the machines and steal the bottles inside. He did this by sticking a small homemade explosive between the doors and set the inside of the machine on fire. It didn't work, he couldn't get the doors open, all he did was burn out the wires so that we now only have one machine. Thankfully the fire department is literally right across the street from us so it was put out quickly and no one was hurt. However, the smell of burnt plastic and metal was awful and could be smelt no matter where you were in the store, it made me feel nauseated. I had to deal with customers complaining about it and explaining that there was nothing I could do about it. Which was very irritating as I had to stay there for several more hours and deal with it while most of them were in and out in 30 min. The very next day the guy who lit it on fire comes back and finds the one machine still left needs to be emptied. So he goes up to customer service and complains and asks for a hand count. Manager recognizes him and he is arrested for arson. The best part of this? When you put the bottles into the machine it scans the barcode and then crushes the bottle so more can fit into the machine. After they have been crushed the barcode is unreadable and no machine will accept it, and no employee will accept it either. In other words, he committed arson and got arrested to try and steal literal garbage that would be completely worthless to him and now the bottle area is twice as busy because there is only one machine and the store refuses to buy a new one. He made the worst part of my job twice as hard all for nothing. Though it is great to tell this story to other people and watch their reaction.
You are my favorite Reddit guy. I love the background music, cheerful and adds to the story. Oh yes, I love the pets and sayings at the end. I WAIT for them.
On the topic of freshman stories: at the beginning of my senior year, word quickly spread that a freshman brought a gun to school. He got caught when his roommate saw the gun in his unlocked safe along with a list of names he plans to target. Naturally, he got expelled and sent to his home state to face charges. Turns out he purposely enrolled in college because he wanted to start a school shooting. He has purposely gone through this entire effort so he can cause some chaos. I have been told now that he's been given a second chance at seeking a better education at my school. Considering he wasn't even interested in pursuing education in the first place, I not sure if it's worth it.
Drivers harrassing HORSEBACK RIDER'S like that is basically trying to seriously hurt or KILL someone. I used to ride a VERY CALM 10 yr old horse I owned,Marry Ann,with my 2 yr old son in Arizona. I always had my son strapped to my body just in case I ever needed to use both arms to control th horse instead of keeping one around him,one gripping th reins. It was absolutely SHOCKING how many people actually think its cool to honk at a rider on HORSEBACK with a TODDLER. I mean SERIOUSLY, what th fuck is WRONG with people that they wana see my BABY get thrown into traffic or whatever? JEALOUS ASSHOLES. My son is 17 now,I was in a fast food place once a couple yrs ago and some asshole was bragging to his friends about honking "I really laid on th horn!" at some guy on a horse. I was standing right behind him in line. I told th guy he's a HOMICIDAL ASSHOLE for trying to intentionally spook a rider's horse's into trafic, calmly told him with a straight face some people would have SHOT at him for that shit as what he did,is actually an attempt on their LIFE. I sure didn't think it was funny when I had my little son with me, which is why I only had him with me out on THAT particular horse and not th younger one's.
A Seat belt was invented after many accidents where the driver lost control of the vehicle AFTER the first collision, and was either thrown out or just out of the driver's seat, so they could not stop the car. Years later, both front seats had seat belts, then, many years later all seats have them.
Same way treadmills didn't use to have that leash you clip to you so if you fall it stops the treadmill so the belt doesn't just keep on going and give you burns over half your body. Which almost no one uses. And they put their treadmill in the corner, or the end of it right up against the wall with nowhere for it to spit you off the back of it if you fall.
1999 is not that long ago. The older you get, time passes faster. I think about my university days like they were yesterday, and I graduated in 1986. Lol. Note: you know you have aged when the radio is on the oldies station and they are playing songs that you loved in the 1980s. Come on, those are not oldies. Oldies are are music from the 1950s, like Fats Domino, and young Elvis Presley.
8:50 calls to mind an old aviation story describing the following exchange over air traffic control radio: "Flight XXX calling XXX control, we are holding 5000 feet over XXX waypoint..." "(panicked) Wait, YOU can't be 5000 over XXX, I'M 5000 over XXX!!!" (collision danger) "You... are... my... copilot."
I decal the police cars in my area, I don't even put over laminate on them. If the car is being used, it will never go more then 2-3 years without getting hit and me just having to re-decal again anyways lol.
When I was a *really* dumb teenager I (of course) would speed everywhere whilst driving. One night while driving home from a friend's house it was rather late and there were barely any cars on the freeway I happened upon a patrol vehicle. WELL he/she was driving ahead of me in another lane and started to slow down, so I started to slow down, they slowed down more, I slowed down more. It got to the point where myself and the patrol car came to a complete stop on the freeway and I was still behind them. After a pause that only really lasted a few seconds the patrol car ended up speeding off and letting me go. I DID slow down for the rest of the drive though 🤣. Sorry, I know that's random but some of these stories made me think of that moment.
The nuclear power plant in our area has guards that have orders to shoot to kill if anyone passes beyond a certain perimeter. This is to prevent terrorist attacks. There are huge warning signs to that effect. A good thing that the kid @18:50 didn't go any further. Those dudes mean business. (There should have been signs, though)
Obligatory not a cop. Report on the 'idiot of the day' on the radio when I was younger that I still laugh about this day. Guy robs convenience store downtown, convenience store owner is laughing as the alarm is blaring like a jet engine but gives the guy the money. Convenience store owner laughs and waves as he leaves the store. Guy walks outside, into an alley, changes shirts and enters the building across the street. 50+ officers ... including city, sheriff's dept, and a few federal officers.. draw down on him and tell him to hit the ground. Dumbass robbed the convenience store across the street from the downtown precinct, known in that town as "201" because of it's street address. Everyone knows 201. Why? It's also the county courthouse, city courthouse, city jail, and drunk tank. The alarm going off alerted the upper floors to look outside curiously, witnesses in his case included the Sheriff, half the cities lawyers, 3 judges, 1 federal judge, a variety of inmates at the jail, various court officials and jail workers. TLDR: Guy robs the convenience store directly across the street from a major metro area downtown precinct and jail. To this day, I'm pretty sure that shop owner is still laughing at this one.
My dad accidentally drive in the way of a parked cop. We waved and were like “we’ll get out of your way, sorry!” Then dad drove straight into a traffic cone. The cop laughed.
I stayed at a hotel and some idiot was grilling outside and put hot coals in the dumpster so the dumpster caught on fire right outside of my window so we all had to evacuate bc someone didn’t know how to get rid of the hot coals properly
Yeah that story seemed like bs. We don't have Gamestop in Australia, water and power are handled by separate agencies in every state of Australia and the FBI is a US federal agency. On top of that, you would never be shot on sight for driving to a plant like that in this country and those plants are not even usually protected by private security and if they are, they are rarely armed with anything beyond a flashlight and radio. Not to mention police don't protect those places anyway so the chances of seeing a cop who just happened to be on-foot to run up and stop you there seems unlikely. Either it's bs or cop was Aussie, the OP doesn't know what an Aussie accent actually sounds like, or the cop was messing around and wasn't actually Aussie.
I've ridden in the trunk of a car! It was after a friend's be-day party, we had more people needing a ride home than my Dad's car had seats, so I volunteered to ride in the trunk because I'd always wondered what it was like. Answer: needs a harness. Sliding at every stop, start, and turn was disconcerting, and really brought home how bad it would be if anything happened.
I did actually call the cops 1 time bc someone stole a large amount of coke and my car keys from me. They were found and arrested. The cop calls me like 2 wks later telling me they're getting out and if I wanted to press further charges they'd have to come arrest me for possession of a CS! SMH!🤣
Oof... While I don't condone the use of illicit/mind-altering substances, wouldn't it have been better to just say 'this guy stole my car keys' and leave out the bit about coke?
I recently got into a major single car accident. I hit the guard rail and part of what worked in my favor with my car and health insurance is that I was not only wearing a seatbelt but EMS had to remove it to extract me.
Near the end, 1:20:30 "Opens the drawer and finds this woman's Seleb just buzzing away... super awkward." Not clear who exactly the responding "chief" belonged to in this one, but assuming it was the fire department as they were looking for an electrical hazard, this would have hit legendary status if they tried to put it out with an extinguisher.
Before Dodge rereleased the Charger. Many cops had Mustangs for high speed pursuits and as undercover vehicles. The old Foxbody Mustang with a V8 could hit 150 easy when it wasn’t factory limited.
I have a couple of stories: I was pulled over rolling through a red light at 1:40 AM when I was 18 and truthfully told the cop I was on my way to hook up with a girl who had a 2 AM curfew and she was 5 minutes away and the 2-3 minutes at the light would have really cramped our timing. He let me go, immediately. I'm amazed that worked out. Another one where I got out of trouble: I was driving home last day of high school. Best friend is driving next to me by coincidence. We totally speed up and race a bit. Unmarked, nondescript car is pullIng onto the high way in front of me. If I let him in, my friend pulls ahead. If I cut him off, I 'beat' my friend. I cut the car off. It's an unmarked cop car. Sirens turn on. Got pulled over. Friend pulls ahead and exits to head home. I panic and pull over to the left shoulder. The cop is PISSED. I'm sweating bullets. I am sober as a judge but I am nervous, so I immediately pour sweat. Cop runs the car. It's registered to my dad. Cop has me call my dad. Disoriented by nervousness, I dial my brother instead of my dad and then hand the cell to the cop. My bro is only a couple years older and was working at a hot dog stand at a very busy work hour. The cop gets my dad's number from my brother, calls my dad, who's a pretty understanding/reasonable/live and let live kinda guy. Cop gets off the phone and says "your dad sounds like a real hard ass. I'll let him deal with you. Sounds like his punishment will be worse than mine!" and lets me go, no ticket, nothing. My dad barely brought it up at dinner. Dad: "What was that phone call from that cop about?" Me: "Pulled me over for cutting him off as he merged onto the high way. I could've let him get in front of me or sped ahead of him, I sped up. Cop on a power trip." Dad: "Well, no ticket, no points on the license, no arrest? No problem." and that was that. I have other stories, non-incriminating but definitely where I was more of an idiot who got lucky than I was smooth or the cops were nice.
In the 1970s, the US Army Military Police used a different "10-Code" than non-military police departments. In civilian 10-code 10-4 means "I understand" or "OK. Not so in the Army. As a dispatcher, I was on the radio a lot and it was fun to mess with the noobs. We were getting a lot of new people in the unit (7th MP Company, 7th Infantry Division, Fort Ord, CA) since the 7th ID was reforming from scratch. So weekly I would have some new person on patrol use their CB 10 code with a 10-4 after I directed them to do something. I would then ask them "What do you need a wrecker for?" Back then, in the Army, 10-4 was "Call for a wrecker."
A friend of ours, a school bus driver, was stopped at a red light when a Mazda Miata went right up under her bus. Fortunately there were no students on the bus and neither she nor the Miata driver were injured, but the Miata driver told the police, "I didn't see that (full sized yellow) bus stopped there." The bus was barely scratched, but the Miata was toast. My husband also drives a school bus, and there's an area near the bus yard that is plainly marked with more than one sign declaring NO PARKING AT ANY TIME. Because the larger buses have to swing wide to get into the bus yard, anyone parked there could be sideswiped. Hub was slowing down to stop, and a camper that was parked in the No Parking zone next to Hub's bus picked that moment to take off - and ripped the passenger side mirror off the bus. The camper driver tried to blame it on Hub, but the bus' camera plainly showed that the camper was parked in the No Parking zone before the accident. The camper driver was cited by the police for illegal parking and damage to a school bus, and the school district made the guy's insurance pay to have the bus repaired, and repairing a school bus isn't cheap.
As for seat belts, my parents refused to allow anyone in their cars who wasn't belted in, and all of us kids became just as insistent about seat belts. If you don't want to fasten your seat belt, find another way to get where we're going because you aren't riding with me.
The cigarette didn't light the fire...the lighter did. Cigarettes don't burn hot enough to ignite gas. You can literally put a cigarette out in a puddle of gas.
A guy I knew way back was a ff. The case he laughed about had a guy that decided to wire up his speakers. He used a .22 bullet as the conductive metal between the sections of wire. He turned on the stereo and shot himself in the ass.
24 years ago I hopped the fence at the FBI building and smoked a joint in the employee smoking area and flipped off the camera... It still is not legal in my state.
I remember that back in the 1940s, I was just a teen, there would often be accounts in the newspapers of automobile accidents that were so severe that "all the clothing was torn off the young girl passenger". I was young and innocent and didn't catch on till much later when I remembered it.

I have an uncle I have never met, he is a bank robber....or at least tries too. He has been arrested so many times but the dumbest shit he ever did is as follows. He robbed a Commonwealth bank here in Australia. He succeeded in the theft but got caught when he parked in the pay car park at the bank.....they locked the 12ft gate on the car park once they realised where he was headed after the theft. The cops showed up to him having a smoke, puffing his lungs out from trying to climb the fence and said "ok let's get this over with" He is the poster child for the black sheep. No one really talks about it until they have all had a few drinks. My dad use to visit him a bit on the downlow but he is now in super max for trying to escape with very limited visitation.
wait what did the poor girl get sick with that killed her in a matter of hours i have never heard of a disease that kills people in like 3 or 4 hours now this has me intrigued an scared at the same time

Somewhat dumb on my part but it wasn’t bad. I was going to the gym at like 9/10 o’clock at night when I realized I needed to do the little Pokémon go stop and catch to continue the streak. So I pulled into a church and played it real quick. Cop comes by and asks about why I was there and asked for ID. I don’t have anything to hide so I wasn’t worried but it was sure was kind of dumb for me to pull into the church parking lot to do so. Guy came back and basically warned me not to stay to long or else another offer may come by and ask again, so I was let go.
but I don't understand. why is it bad for parking in a church parking lot. I assume there was no one there. is it considered private property or something where you live?
Not necessarily bad, but the driver might have needed assistance, or maybe was there to vandalize, or steal, or whatever. Point being, if you're somewhere that's closed, that's unusual, and the police are gonna check out the unusual. That's kinda their job.
My BIL is a police officer. He saw someone run a stop sign. He pulled up behind them and turned on his lights expecting that when the stoplight turned green they would make their left-hand turn and pull over. Well the genius made the turn on red. My BIL said that he had been planning on letting the driver go with a warning up until that point. As it happened his patrol car had some issues with the communications equipment and he had to call dispatch to run the information. The person he pulled over called 911 to file a complaint for taking too long (which was their fault for as they occupied the dispatch my BIL was waiting for)
"I don't know why they don't just arrest them when they confess stuff like that" Problem is because there's a lot of tricky boxes to tick; firstly, to arrest him, you'd have to have a reason. Granted, he confessed to dealing to kids so we've Selling Narcotics to Minors, Dealing in Illicit Substances,Possession with intent to supply, take your pick. Next problem is you have to prove that crime and if he's just been "robbed of all his gear", Evidence is hard to come by. You might luck out if he's still got his Dealing Phone, Scales and Cutting Gear on him but if they've taken it all, no Evidence, no Crime. Thirdly, how do you know HE'S the Dealer and NOT the OTHER way round? Might be he's a "Customer" who feels the Dealer's holding out and thinks "Aha, I'll get my £20/$20,etc's worth by reporting him to the Cops!" then you've got two or more Meth Heads in either your Front Lobby or Custody Suite, yelling at each other random things like "I didn't cheat you, you cheated me!", "You asked for £10's worth, you got £10's worth!",etc. Better to just fob them off politely with something like "We'll get someone on it", "Not much I can do, I'm afraid", "Vice is busy right now but I'll get a car round there and let Head of Vice know as soon as they radio in",etc.
I feel really bad about the guy with the little pigeon. That was sad. I had a mouse in my desk drawer for a week so it could recover after I pried it off a sticky trap- I'd tried to catch it before anyone else could using a box trap, a string, and cheerios, but failed. After that week I released it in a field on campus, so hopefully it got to live out the rest of it's natural life. I hope that pigeon was okay. Luckily by then my roommate had already failed out due to alcoholism, so there was no one to tell on me. (There was a LOT of alcoholism at my first university.)
Saw a 100 lb guy try and fight an ENORMOUS cop, like think NFL linebacker but bigger, who just basically fell on top of him and bounced his head on the trunk until dude got the message. Hilarious.
He got a “warrant” for destroying evidence?? Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that this is not a real cop, as most cops know what the term warrant does/doesn’t mean and when it applies. So, once he got the warrant, who did he either search or arrest?
Had to laugh when walking by the city police station in Adelaide south Australia, as someone had planted a dope plant in there front garden and you could smell the bloody thing for 2 blocks.
Girlfriend and I stand at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green. Opposite us is a cop car. Some dude jaywalks right in front of them. Seconds later you hear them over the megaphone "Yo dude, you do realise you're jaywalking right past us, don't you?" Dude probably shat his pants and the 2 policemen laughing their arses off but let it slide. Gotta love the German police.

42:50 I once found an up-side-down car in a ditch. The car was not visible from the road, and I have no idea how long it had been there, but the engine was cold. There were no people inside the car so I called the non-emergency number. However, it was a blue car, not a red car. I have no idea if it sounded any different as I didn't hear the crash. It was kind of weird, but I never heard anything more about it.
3:33 It's not that I think that jerk shouldn't face a consequence for that, he absolutely should. But is it a a crime to scare a horse? Or is it because he endangered the rider when he did it?
This happened in in a small town near me. A sheriff deputy came to a Convenience store on his way home in a different county then he worked in. The women who work notice that the other customer was maybe drunk ask to talk to him ask him to call him to pick up. So the sheriff's deputy went out to talk to the guy and they start talking and guy pulls out and shots at the cop misses and the cop shots the drunk guy. The sheriff couldn't even have arrested the drunk he was in the different county then he worked in. All the drunk had to do was look at patches on the sheriff jacket.
6:45 I live in Myrtle beach and have drove behind the gray mustang many of times. I see him pull over a lot of people and most of the time he pulls over out of state cars.
I was with my friends riding our motorcycles . I had a little Honda 350 street and trail bike. While my friends bikes were big bikes 650 and higher. I was trying to keep up with them. I got stopped by a police officer for doing 75 in a 35 mile zone at night on a permit. The officer said I know why you were speeding. I saw you trying to keep up with your friends. Facing several fines, the speeding ticket being the most expensive. I said to the officer, well since you know why I was speeding. Please don't give me a ticket for speeding? He looked at me ,then he gave me a 35 dollar fine for being out at night on a permit.

6:47 Imagine if the charger was also an undercover cop. Like that one news story in Detroit where one precinct had cops disguised as drug dealers and another precinct had cops disguised as drug buyers, and the two groups tried to arrest each other. That one is definitely my favorite news story.
I live in MB and he has pulled over many people bc no one ever suspects him. He is also never around any other cop cars nor is he ever at the precinct. He is very good at catching people off guard.

My daughter, who lived in Texas, visited us in Colorado. Before she left to go home, I warned her repeatedly about taking pot back to Texas and not to speed through the myriad speed traps in the Panhandle. Sure enough, she loads up on chewables. Then she speeds through a little town in the Panhandle, state trooper pulls her over. She had the common sense to put the chewables in the trunk, but she left the receipt for them on the dashboard in plain site. BAM--probable cause, trooper searches trunk, finds pot. Jail in Podunk, TX is no fun--and expensive.
And they always cry that it was not their fault.

"Only break one law at a time".
Words to live by.
1:10:00 Witnessed an accident where the driver and passenger were both ejected. The passenger, the wife, landed on her head and broke her neck, died instantly. The driver was not as lucky. The car rolled over him crushing his body, breaking most of his bones but leaving his head intact.
He was fully conscious and aware for about 30 minutes before he died, just after the paramedics arrived.
It took so long because it was a very remote location and it was very foggy. The guy had crashed because of the thick fog, visibility was about 50 feet. He had been driving the posted speed limit of 70.
FYI: The speed limit is *ALWAYS* only as fast as is safe. The posted speed limit is the maximum speed if conditions are perfect, dry road with good visibility. If conditions are poor, wet or icy road, poor visibility, or other high winds, the speed limit may be *MUCH* lower than what is posted.
Conditions at the time required a speed no more than 20 MPH, but because so many people are stupid, you have to go faster or some dumb ass doing 70 MPH will cream you, then blame you for the crash.
Personally, I wish it was harder to get and keep a license. If you need to be told to slow down in fog, or don't text and drive, you have no business driving a car.
I was driving late at night, rural highway in between small towns. Thankfully I knew the road well enough that I knew what was coming up. I could see at most two or three car lengths up ahead. So I’m driving slow just in case there is a car up ahead or some deer, which is common.
I turn onto the road that’s about a mile or so from my place and the speed limit is 25. I was going 20. This yahoo passed me... like I know I’m slow but I’d rather get there safely, you know? What is the rush?
Something that terrible has to have a trace on the internet otherwise I refuse to believe this, sorry...
1:34 Learned from a police officer: if you're being held at gunpoint while driving a car and you see a police car, tap their bumper or fender. You haven't disabled the patrol car, but you now have that officer's undivided attention. (Drastic, but keep in mind that the situation I described is probably going to end in murder)

If anyone else was also curious about what would happen if you swallowed crack cocaine, here you go:
This is a common practice when stored by police because you can't be charged with possession if it's in your stomach, apparently. It takes a lot more crack to mess you up when it's swallowed than it takes if you smoke it, so unless it was a large amount, you'd probably get a milder high iif anything at all. You may also end up with an ulcer as your digestive fluids break it down because of all the crap in it.
Apparently a lot of people are curious about how it works on drug forums.
Not only just to "get rid of" the crack/drugs but also because if you tell a police officer that you swallowed dope (regardless of the kind of dope and regardless of whether you actually DID swallow dope) they are legally REQUIRED by law to take you to a hospital....which is..well...not the jail. Obviously! And a lot of times people will escape custody somehow while being treated at the hospital, its also relatively common that they will be released from custody all together (for varying reasons). I think a lot of times the police just decide that the amount of time and effort required to monitor someone and be stuck sitting around the hospital doing nothing isnt worth such a petty charge against a low level non violent criminal.
At least here in Seattle
@@emilydotbug yeah that sounds reasonable. Plus, what stree they going to charge them with if they ate the evidence? They can't be charged with intent to sell because there's nothing to sell, and they're not in possession of anything. They could maybe still get charged with selling if the cop caught them in the act but that is still a hassle for the cop if it wasn't a large amount. They'd probably just figure they'll get them next time.
My mom has to deal with one of these kinds of cases in the ER. This guy had swallowed a bag of meth. So the cop brought him into the ER where he as given laxatives. let's just say when my mom refused to go digging for the evidence and informed the cop that was his job to collect it if he wanted it. It left him in a shitty situation.
So, what you’re saying is definitely smoke your crack to get that best high. Cool, thanks, got it👍🏼😂.

Well, sense we have two of the 3 points of the fire triangle. Putting out a fire with a heat gun.
My dad had a helper once (pipeline welder) and there was a small fire on a hill so the helper panicked and threw a wooden pallet on it, causing more fire. My dad gets shovels to throw dirt in the fire and the helper grabs one and starts slapping the fire with it, needless to say- the whole side of the hill caught fire that day
@@emilymaxwell9986 Thank you for sharing. And that is why it's important not to panic. (Easier said than done)
I used to work security, and one time I met this off duty police officer. We talked about funny shit that’s happened during shift, and he told me that one time him and his partner were getting out of a convenience store and they saw a dude snort a line of cocaine on the dashboard of his car.
Well, they ran the plates and it turns out he stole the car!
Way back when, lived in a town that abutted another with a river dividing and being the state line. It was about 2 am and I was crossing on a full sidewalk on a bridge. At both ends are stop lights. There was a fellow that pulled up to the first light, it was red, and he had his GF in the car. There is NOTHING out there. Except a cop sitting on the tiny side alley after you cross that river and just before the second light-he's visible. I went to school with her, she was at school because her parents wanted rid of her, she was about as pretty and as smart as a brick. Her boyfriend, even less so. As I passed them sitting, he starts RAGING about why is he being SO STUPID as to sit at that light, physically grandly gesturing, then he says F-it and FLOORS IT. Across the bridge, across the state line, and blows the second light too which is red. Cop pops out and catches them half a block down, and I get there and walk past as he's being belligerent and doesn't want to oblige with anything. Such as ID or taking a breathalyzer. Later that morning at one class, she's there still half lit and crying her head off, as a cop stopped and roughed her BF up and both got arrested... she was underage and drunk, he was just barely legal and drunk, and driving, and blew two lights and crossed a state line, both apparently got it for resisting arrest. Daddy broke out a lawyer and got her bailed... She WISHED there had been someone to witness how the cops had treated them. I quietly went and filed a witness report. She withdrew shortly after that.
Jesus, what a story!!!! It reminded me of something that happened when I was in college. I was at work one afternoon, my long distance boyfriend, was in town visiting, so he went with a couple of my roommates to run some errands. Well, they're on the highway, when they realize they missed their exit. Now, this was a fairly rural area, so taking the next exit, then getting back on, wasn't as simple a task as it sounded. Being that it was the middle of a weekday, and there was almost no traffic in either direction, my boyfriend tells the driver, to just use the turn around/opening separating them from the oncoming cars. She says, "No way, not chancing it!!!" He repeats, "Just do it, there's absolutely no one around. If you get a ticket, I'll pay for it." Well, as I'm sure you can guess, he went back home the following week, with a few less hundred dollars in his pocket, because, wouldn't you know it, as soon as she started to make the turn, a sheriff came up into view, as they reached the top of the slight incline. Moral of the story, don't listen to ethically ambiguous people when they try to convince you to do something foolish.
I was sitting at a light once waiting for it to turn green. The light turned and I looked and saw a guy coming. It didn't look like he was going to stop so I stayed where I was.
The cop, thinking I had not noticed the light change tooted his horn just as the guy went through the intersection at about 70 MPH. After he passed I continued through the light and the cop went after the guy.
Once, when I was 16, I'd only had my license for about 4 months I came to a light that had a railroad crossing about 100 feet from the light. The guy ahead of me had stopped on the tracks so I stopped well behind him, leaving a place for the guy to go in case a train came. A cop stopped behind me.
It should be noted the traffic light was set to stay red when a train came to keep traffic coming the other way from blocking the intersection.
Sure enough, rat after we stopped the bells started going off and the guy behind me backed into the space I'd left for him.
It was a long freight train so the cop stepped out, asked me how long I had been driving, I told him then he went to talk to the dumb ass who had stopped on the track.
I have an idea what was said, because the cop pointed back at me a couple of times. Then the guy handed something to the cop.
I figured it was his paper work but the cop handed me a $20 bill and said I'd done good. This was in 1986. $20 was more money then than it is today. Perhaps equal to $50 or $60 in today's money.
It was a lot less than the fine for stopping on rail road tracks, and quite a lot less money than he would have had to pay for damage to railroad equipment he would have had to pay had I not opened a space for him.
What a sweet gesture of kindness for your right doing.
More people would be better driver's if they get financially rewarded.✨
@@judemelroses9920 You *ARE* financially rewarded for being a good drive.
You will have lower insurance rates, fewer traffic tickets, and most important, fewer property damage and hospital bills.
You can save huge amounts of money by being a good driver.
The problem is, not many people look at it that way. Granted, the insurance saving is obvious, but not many people think about the traffic tickets they don't get or the car crashes that don't happen as saving money. But it is. Fines can be expensive and vehicle damage and hospital bills are even worse.
My Mom and brother and I went to go buy shoes, found a ring of people and cop cars around the jewelry store, which was right beside the shoe store. Mom asks what's happening, cop explains there's a hostage situation.
Mom asks: "Can I go to the show store though? I need to get my kids shoes."
All of our heads slowly turned to look at her as if they were on one gear, incredulous looks in our faces.
"....No, lady!" was all the cop finally managed to say, which is when she snapped out of it, stopped being so focused on her goal and realized what she'd said.
She explained that she was a single working mother and this was the first time in 3 weeks she'd had time to take us to the shoe store, my shoe had a hole in the sole so I really needed shoes, etc.
(My fault since I hadn't told her about the hole until just recently.)
He softened, and said "oh, ok, I get it but yeah, no, it's not safe. "
I swear she wasn't a Karen, but she was very persistent and goal driven.
On the other side of stupid things,
Many years ago I was driving a tow truck part time over-night and weekends while still going to school. We were called to a major accident on the highway. Our police contract dictates that we have to be on-site in under ten minutes from the police dispatch. Six tow trucks from our company of various sizes show up because police dispatch didn't have the information of exactly what or how many vehicles were involved, but the contract said that we had to clear the road at all costs.
We arrived to a single vehicle accident, a semi, hauling twin tanks of gasoline. Both tanks split just enough to be streaming out a pretty good lake of gasoline about six inches deep, three lanes wide. We were told by the first arriving tow driver where to park to wait. We were standing on a berm about a hundred feet away while waiting for the fire department. This was well before haz-mat and environmental teams were thought of. Anyway, while waiting we see a police officer go to his trunk and break open a new case of highway safety flares. He wanted to make sure that drivers coming to the scene were aware of the accident. We asked him, where he was going with the flares. He was going right up to the accident scene, because he said, "I don't want anyone to drive into the gasoline." He then realised what he just said and what he was about to do.
Lighting ten to fifteen highway safety flares within inches of a six inch lake of gasoline probably would have messed up his day a little.
Just after I got my driver’s license I was driving a car with standard transmission and every time I tried to go my car would creep a bit backwards and I would quickly hit the brake again. Finally I crept back so far that my back bumper was resting against the front bumper of the car behind me...a police car. I was crying when the cop came to my window and he just patted me on the shoulder and he and the driver behind him pushed on my car until I could get it going forwards. Nice guys😀
Not an emergency responder
I worked for several years at a location where I would pass a police station while traveling to and from work. There was a traffic signal that allowed the police to exit their parking lot and get on the road going by the station. One morning I approach the light and it turns red. In the on coming lane is a motorcyclists who also stops. There is a police cruiser about to make a left hand turn in front of the motor cycle and proceed in the direction I am facing. The motor cyclist goes flying over the handle bars because they were rear ended by a car that failed to come to a stop, at a red light, in front of a police station with a police car right there. The officer had to put the roof flashers on before he had even gotten out of the parking lot.
I onve ran a red light on accident lol. I'm from a small town up north and was visiting one of the bigger, more populated and complicated cities further south to visit some friends. I was lost as all hell, struggling to find my destination and after arriving at the same intersection for the fourth time I was frustrated to the point of tears and just drove through it, still failing to notice that the intersection had a street light on it and apparently managed to go at red right in front of a police car who proceeded to pull me over. I freaked out and explained that I was lost, apologized profusely and asked for directions. They didn't know how to get where I wanted to go, but I was let go after they checked my lisence. I guess they felt sorry for me or something, didn't get a ticket but I was super embarrassed.
6:20 an acquaintance told me to drive around the east side of our police ops hq, during a visit to the detectives' house. you see all those "unmarked" cars? all seized in drug busts. bmw, benz, lexus, navigators, and yes about 3 of them dodge chargers. insane. oh, and one red 90s honda civic (i fantasized about what engine and trans that thing had). :D
When mom was pregnant with me back in '94 there was a field fire near the house. Police and firefights were evacuating nearby houses. This is the basic exchange...
Cop: Ma'am? we need you to evacuate right now. there is a fire nearby and your house is at risk of catching fire
Mom: No, I'm fine.
Cop: Ma'am? I don't think you understand. You are in danger.
Mom: No you don't understand! I just got off work and I'm hungry.
Cop: ...Ma'am, we need to get you safe. You can have a sandwich later
Mom: NO! I will have my sandwich now! * proceeds to make a sandwich and eat it while watching the fire from the kitchen window *

City police officer told me about how she and her County Sheriff Deputy husband are off duty, in street clothes in a convenience store in a nearby small town when three guys that they busted before come in and tell them that they "brought their 9s" and that they're going to kill them as soon as they walk out the door. They leave. Sheriff's Deputy pulls out his cell phone and calls for backup. Needless to say they were all busted (again.) Not sure whether the 3 guys have heard of these new-fangled communication devices called telephones.
I'm a security officer, once chased a guy down who attempted to break in to a store, he climbed to the top of a nearby pharmacy's roof somehow and then he could not climb down because he didn't know how.
Even more interesting the pharmacy is about 150 meters away from a police station...what an idiot.

I work at a grocery store, we do bottle returns, for those who don't know what that is basically you can return a bottle to be recycled and get ten cents per bottle to encourage recycling and provide a way for the poor to get money. We have a machine that will do the counts for us so we don't have to count them by hand. We used to have two machines until one day a man tried to break into one of the machines and steal the bottles inside. He did this by sticking a small homemade explosive between the doors and set the inside of the machine on fire. It didn't work, he couldn't get the doors open, all he did was burn out the wires so that we now only have one machine. Thankfully the fire department is literally right across the street from us so it was put out quickly and no one was hurt. However, the smell of burnt plastic and metal was awful and could be smelt no matter where you were in the store, it made me feel nauseated. I had to deal with customers complaining about it and explaining that there was nothing I could do about it. Which was very irritating as I had to stay there for several more hours and deal with it while most of them were in and out in 30 min.
The very next day the guy who lit it on fire comes back and finds the one machine still left needs to be emptied. So he goes up to customer service and complains and asks for a hand count. Manager recognizes him and he is arrested for arson. The best part of this? When you put the bottles into the machine it scans the barcode and then crushes the bottle so more can fit into the machine. After they have been crushed the barcode is unreadable and no machine will accept it, and no employee will accept it either. In other words, he committed arson and got arrested to try and steal literal garbage that would be completely worthless to him and now the bottle area is twice as busy because there is only one machine and the store refuses to buy a new one. He made the worst part of my job twice as hard all for nothing. Though it is great to tell this story to other people and watch their reaction.

On the topic of freshman stories: at the beginning of my senior year, word quickly spread that a freshman brought a gun to school. He got caught when his roommate saw the gun in his unlocked safe along with a list of names he plans to target. Naturally, he got expelled and sent to his home state to face charges. Turns out he purposely enrolled in college because he wanted to start a school shooting. He has purposely gone through this entire effort so he can cause some chaos. I have been told now that he's been given a second chance at seeking a better education at my school. Considering he wasn't even interested in pursuing education in the first place, I not sure if it's worth it.
Drivers harrassing HORSEBACK RIDER'S like that is basically trying to seriously hurt or KILL someone. I used to ride a VERY CALM 10 yr old horse I owned,Marry Ann,with my 2 yr old son in Arizona. I always had my son strapped to my body just in case I ever needed to use both arms to control th horse instead of keeping one around him,one gripping th reins. It was absolutely SHOCKING how many people actually think its cool to honk at a rider on HORSEBACK with a TODDLER. I mean SERIOUSLY, what th fuck is WRONG with people that they wana see my BABY get thrown into traffic or whatever? JEALOUS ASSHOLES. My son is 17 now,I was in a fast food place once a couple yrs ago and some asshole was bragging to his friends about honking "I really laid on th horn!" at some guy on a horse. I was standing right behind him in line. I told th guy he's a HOMICIDAL ASSHOLE for trying to intentionally spook a rider's horse's into trafic, calmly told him with a straight face some people would have SHOT at him for that shit as what he did,is actually an attempt on their LIFE. I sure didn't think it was funny when I had my little son with me, which is why I only had him with me out on THAT particular horse and not th younger one's.
What did the guy say back to you?
A Seat belt was invented after many accidents where the driver lost control of the vehicle AFTER the first collision, and was either thrown out or just out of the driver's seat, so they could not stop the car. Years later, both front seats had seat belts, then, many years later all seats have them.
Same way treadmills didn't use to have that leash you clip to you so if you fall it stops the treadmill so the belt doesn't just keep on going and give you burns over half your body. Which almost no one uses. And they put their treadmill in the corner, or the end of it right up against the wall with nowhere for it to spit you off the back of it if you fall.
1999 is not that long ago. The older you get, time passes faster. I think about my university days like they were yesterday, and I graduated in 1986. Lol. Note: you know you have aged when the radio is on the oldies station and they are playing songs that you loved in the 1980s. Come on, those are not oldies. Oldies are are music from the 1950s, like Fats Domino, and young Elvis Presley.
Nope, oldies are from the thirties. Perspective.
8:50 calls to mind an old aviation story describing the following exchange over air traffic control radio:
"Flight XXX calling XXX control, we are holding 5000 feet over XXX waypoint..."
"(panicked) Wait, YOU can't be 5000 over XXX, I'M 5000 over XXX!!!" (collision danger)
"You... are... my... copilot."
XD
For the horse one, it happens all the time. People think its funny to terrify horses.
Triptorio 13 YES! I’ve been riding before and almost seriously hurt by assholes that thinks it’s funny/ok to fucking beep their horns!
I decal the police cars in my area, I don't even put over laminate on them. If the car is being used, it will never go more then 2-3 years without getting hit and me just having to re-decal again anyways lol.
When I was a *really* dumb teenager I (of course) would speed everywhere whilst driving. One night while driving home from a friend's house it was rather late and there were barely any cars on the freeway I happened upon a patrol vehicle. WELL he/she was driving ahead of me in another lane and started to slow down, so I started to slow down, they slowed down more, I slowed down more. It got to the point where myself and the patrol car came to a complete stop on the freeway and I was still behind them. After a pause that only really lasted a few seconds the patrol car ended up speeding off and letting me go. I DID slow down for the rest of the drive though 🤣. Sorry, I know that's random but some of these stories made me think of that moment.
The nuclear power plant in our area has guards that have orders to shoot to kill if anyone passes beyond a certain perimeter. This is to prevent terrorist attacks. There are huge warning signs to that effect. A good thing that the kid @18:50 didn't go any further. Those dudes mean business. (There should have been signs, though)
12:17 it's really disturbing the kids of this age are using pot
There's infants hooked on crack, because they are literal crack babies.
Pretty effed up.
Obligatory not a cop. Report on the 'idiot of the day' on the radio when I was younger that I still laugh about this day. Guy robs convenience store downtown, convenience store owner is laughing as the alarm is blaring like a jet engine but gives the guy the money. Convenience store owner laughs and waves as he leaves the store. Guy walks outside, into an alley, changes shirts and enters the building across the street. 50+ officers ... including city, sheriff's dept, and a few federal officers.. draw down on him and tell him to hit the ground. Dumbass robbed the convenience store across the street from the downtown precinct, known in that town as "201" because of it's street address. Everyone knows 201. Why? It's also the county courthouse, city courthouse, city jail, and drunk tank. The alarm going off alerted the upper floors to look outside curiously, witnesses in his case included the Sheriff, half the cities lawyers, 3 judges, 1 federal judge, a variety of inmates at the jail, various court officials and jail workers. TLDR: Guy robs the convenience store directly across the street from a major metro area downtown precinct and jail.
To this day, I'm pretty sure that shop owner is still laughing at this one.
My dad accidentally drive in the way of a parked cop. We waved and were like “we’ll get out of your way, sorry!” Then dad drove straight into a traffic cone. The cop laughed.
😊
I stayed at a hotel and some idiot was grilling outside and put hot coals in the dumpster so the dumpster caught on fire right outside of my window so we all had to evacuate bc someone didn’t know how to get rid of the hot coals properly
Why does the Australian cop send info to the FBI? What?
Something seems really fishy on that story. It's either fake or covert illegal shit was going on..
Yeah that story seemed like bs. We don't have Gamestop in Australia, water and power are handled by separate agencies in every state of Australia and the FBI is a US federal agency. On top of that, you would never be shot on sight for driving to a plant like that in this country and those plants are not even usually protected by private security and if they are, they are rarely armed with anything beyond a flashlight and radio. Not to mention police don't protect those places anyway so the chances of seeing a cop who just happened to be on-foot to run up and stop you there seems unlikely.
Either it's bs or cop was Aussie, the OP doesn't know what an Aussie accent actually sounds like, or the cop was messing around and wasn't actually Aussie.
I've ridden in the trunk of a car! It was after a friend's be-day party, we had more people needing a ride home than my Dad's car had seats, so I volunteered to ride in the trunk because I'd always wondered what it was like. Answer: needs a harness. Sliding at every stop, start, and turn was disconcerting, and really brought home how bad it would be if anything happened.
I’m just annoyed someone would use pads for pranks. That shit in expensive, m’dudes..
Menstrual cups are better
1:06:15 a big "f" to that gopher... What a way to go...
I did actually call the cops 1 time bc someone stole a large amount of coke and my car keys from me. They were found and arrested. The cop calls me like 2 wks later telling me they're getting out and if I wanted to press further charges they'd have to come arrest me for possession of a CS! SMH!🤣
Oof... While I don't condone the use of illicit/mind-altering substances, wouldn't it have been better to just say 'this guy stole my car keys' and leave out the bit about coke?
My car was totaled by a drunk driver. Her head was down while driving. No clue what the hell she was doing.
No sex ed, powerfully developed denial skills, Catholic school, yeah, that's the one place "i didn't know" checks out
I recently got into a major single car accident. I hit the guard rail and part of what worked in my favor with my car and health insurance is that I was not only wearing a seatbelt but EMS had to remove it to extract me.
Near the end, 1:20:30 "Opens the drawer and finds this woman's Seleb just buzzing away... super awkward." Not clear who exactly the responding "chief" belonged to in this one, but assuming it was the fire department as they were looking for an electrical hazard, this would have hit legendary status if they tried to put it out with an extinguisher.
Something tells me this is a reupload. I've seen these same ones before.
Always wear gloves when cutting any pepper. Even the most mild of peppers can burn like a mofo if you touch your eye (or other sensitive areas).
If you don't have gloves you can wash your hands in cooking oil after cutting them, and then wash in dish detergent.
Before Dodge rereleased the Charger. Many cops had Mustangs for high speed pursuits and as undercover vehicles. The old Foxbody Mustang with a V8 could hit 150 easy when it wasn’t factory limited.
I have a couple of stories: I was pulled over rolling through a red light at 1:40 AM when I was 18 and truthfully told the cop I was on my way to hook up with a girl who had a 2 AM curfew and she was 5 minutes away and the 2-3 minutes at the light would have really cramped our timing. He let me go, immediately. I'm amazed that worked out. Another one where I got out of trouble: I was driving home last day of high school. Best friend is driving next to me by coincidence. We totally speed up and race a bit. Unmarked, nondescript car is pullIng onto the high way in front of me. If I let him in, my friend pulls ahead. If I cut him off, I 'beat' my friend. I cut the car off. It's an unmarked cop car. Sirens turn on. Got pulled over. Friend pulls ahead and exits to head home. I panic and pull over to the left shoulder. The cop is PISSED. I'm sweating bullets. I am sober as a judge but I am nervous, so I immediately pour sweat. Cop runs the car. It's registered to my dad. Cop has me call my dad. Disoriented by nervousness, I dial my brother instead of my dad and then hand the cell to the cop. My bro is only a couple years older and was working at a hot dog stand at a very busy work hour. The cop gets my dad's number from my brother, calls my dad, who's a pretty understanding/reasonable/live and let live kinda guy. Cop gets off the phone and says "your dad sounds like a real hard ass. I'll let him deal with you. Sounds like his punishment will be worse than mine!" and lets me go, no ticket, nothing. My dad barely brought it up at dinner. Dad: "What was that phone call from that cop about?" Me: "Pulled me over for cutting him off as he merged onto the high way. I could've let him get in front of me or sped ahead of him, I sped up. Cop on a power trip." Dad: "Well, no ticket, no points on the license, no arrest? No problem." and that was that. I have other stories, non-incriminating but definitely where I was more of an idiot who got lucky than I was smooth or the cops were nice.
In the 1970s, the US Army Military Police used a different "10-Code" than non-military police departments. In civilian 10-code 10-4 means "I understand" or "OK. Not so in the Army. As a dispatcher, I was on the radio a lot and it was fun to mess with the noobs. We were getting a lot of new people in the unit (7th MP Company, 7th Infantry Division, Fort Ord, CA) since the 7th ID was reforming from scratch. So weekly I would have some new person on patrol use their CB 10 code with a 10-4 after I directed them to do something. I would then ask them "What do you need a wrecker for?" Back then, in the Army, 10-4 was "Call for a wrecker."
A friend of ours, a school bus driver, was stopped at a red light when a Mazda Miata went right up under her bus. Fortunately there were no students on the bus and neither she nor the Miata driver were injured, but the Miata driver told the police, "I didn't see that (full sized yellow) bus stopped there." The bus was barely scratched, but the Miata was toast. My husband also drives a school bus, and there's an area near the bus yard that is plainly marked with more than one sign declaring NO PARKING AT ANY TIME. Because the larger buses have to swing wide to get into the bus yard, anyone parked there could be sideswiped. Hub was slowing down to stop, and a camper that was parked in the No Parking zone next to Hub's bus picked that moment to take off - and ripped the passenger side mirror off the bus. The camper driver tried to blame it on Hub, but the bus' camera plainly showed that the camper was parked in the No Parking zone before the accident. The camper driver was cited by the police for illegal parking and damage to a school bus, and the school district made the guy's insurance pay to have the bus repaired, and repairing a school bus isn't cheap.
As for seat belts, my parents refused to allow anyone in their cars who wasn't belted in, and all of us kids became just as insistent about seat belts. If you don't want to fasten your seat belt, find another way to get where we're going because you aren't riding with me.
The cigarette didn't light the fire...the lighter did. Cigarettes don't burn hot enough to ignite gas. You can literally put a cigarette out in a puddle of gas.

A guy I knew way back was a ff. The case he laughed about had a guy that decided to wire up his speakers. He used a .22 bullet as the conductive metal between the sections of wire. He turned on the stereo and shot himself in the ass.
24 years ago I hopped the fence at the FBI building and smoked a joint in the employee smoking area and flipped off the camera... It still is not legal in my state.
LMFAO 1:06:20 im dead hahahahaha gophers like, "f off human!!!!"
"We didn't think you were a real cop because you are a woman."
Let me guess, this happened in 1956?
Eh, some kids are dumb. You’d be surprised what people say.
1906?
Nothing worse than a vag with a badge. Always see them power tripping, especially border officers.

The one with the blue dye has me hearing Eiffel 65's "Blue" in my head, and I can't stop.
I remember that back in the 1940s, I was just a teen, there would often be accounts in the newspapers of automobile accidents that were so severe that "all the clothing was torn off the young girl passenger". I was young and innocent and didn't catch on till much later when I remembered it.
1:06:13 Of course someone attempts this, but I do love the mental image of an on fire gopher running around the yard. lol

This is Looney Tunes levels of lunacy. 😂 Guy got beat by a gopher. Even if he recovers financially, he has to live with the fact that if he would have just gotten an exterminator instead of trying to Wille E. Coyote this, he wouldn’t have gone thousands of dollars down the hole. 😂😂🤣
I genuinely didnt know I was watching this for an hour
Got an ambulance call for an ear ache. Then 15 yr old girl started flirting with me.
I have an uncle I have never met, he is a bank robber....or at least tries too. He has been arrested so many times but the dumbest shit he ever did is as follows.
He robbed a Commonwealth bank here in Australia. He succeeded in the theft but got caught when he parked in the pay car park at the bank.....they locked the 12ft gate on the car park once they realised where he was headed after the theft. The cops showed up to him having a smoke, puffing his lungs out from trying to climb the fence and said "ok let's get this over with"
He is the poster child for the black sheep. No one really talks about it until they have all had a few drinks. My dad use to visit him a bit on the downlow but he is now in super max for trying to escape with very limited visitation.
wait what did the poor girl get sick with that killed her in a matter of hours i have never heard of a disease that kills people in like 3 or 4 hours now this has me intrigued an scared at the same time

Somewhat dumb on my part but it wasn’t bad. I was going to the gym at like 9/10 o’clock at night when I realized I needed to do the little Pokémon go stop and catch to continue the streak. So I pulled into a church and played it real quick. Cop comes by and asks about why I was there and asked for ID. I don’t have anything to hide so I wasn’t worried but it was sure was kind of dumb for me to pull into the church parking lot to do so. Guy came back and basically warned me not to stay to long or else another offer may come by and ask again, so I was let go.
but I don't understand. why is it bad for parking in a church parking lot. I assume there was no one there. is it considered private property or something where you live?
Not necessarily bad, but the driver might have needed assistance, or maybe was there to vandalize, or steal, or whatever.
Point being, if you're somewhere that's closed, that's unusual, and the police are gonna check out the unusual. That's kinda their job.
My BIL is a police officer. He saw someone run a stop sign. He pulled up behind them and turned on his lights expecting that when the stoplight turned green they would make their left-hand turn and pull over. Well the genius made the turn on red. My BIL said that he had been planning on letting the driver go with a warning up until that point. As it happened his patrol car had some issues with the communications equipment and he had to call dispatch to run the information. The person he pulled over called 911 to file a complaint for taking too long (which was their fault for as they occupied the dispatch my BIL was waiting for)
"I don't know why they don't just arrest them when they confess stuff like that"
Problem is because there's a lot of tricky boxes to tick; firstly, to arrest him, you'd have to have a reason. Granted, he confessed to dealing to kids so we've Selling Narcotics to Minors, Dealing in Illicit Substances,Possession with intent to supply, take your pick. Next problem is you have to prove that crime and if he's just been "robbed of all his gear", Evidence is hard to come by. You might luck out if he's still got his Dealing Phone, Scales and Cutting Gear on him but if they've taken it all, no Evidence, no Crime. Thirdly, how do you know HE'S the Dealer and NOT the OTHER way round? Might be he's a "Customer" who feels the Dealer's holding out and thinks "Aha, I'll get my £20/$20,etc's worth by reporting him to the Cops!" then you've got two or more Meth Heads in either your Front Lobby or Custody Suite, yelling at each other random things like "I didn't cheat you, you cheated me!", "You asked for £10's worth, you got £10's worth!",etc.
Better to just fob them off politely with something like "We'll get someone on it", "Not much I can do, I'm afraid", "Vice is busy right now but I'll get a car round there and let Head of Vice know as soon as they radio in",etc.
I feel really bad about the guy with the little pigeon. That was sad. I had a mouse in my desk drawer for a week so it could recover after I pried it off a sticky trap- I'd tried to catch it before anyone else could using a box trap, a string, and cheerios, but failed. After that week I released it in a field on campus, so hopefully it got to live out the rest of it's natural life. I hope that pigeon was okay. Luckily by then my roommate had already failed out due to alcoholism, so there was no one to tell on me. (There was a LOT of alcoholism at my first university.)
18:46 i swear this is a story from Grand Theift Auto online with Polecat324 lol
Well it's not a true story so that's very possible.
The second set of stories kind of makes me glad I’m attending community college
14:17 cop school sounds like a bootleg police academy movie
His mother heard the splat, I lost it with that one!
Saw a 100 lb guy try and fight an ENORMOUS cop, like think NFL linebacker but bigger, who just basically fell on top of him and bounced his head on the trunk until dude got the message.
Hilarious.
26:23 heartbreaking man doesn't let his own mother attend college
He got a “warrant” for destroying evidence?? Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that this is not a real cop, as most cops know what the term warrant does/doesn’t mean and when it applies. So, once he got the warrant, who did he either search or arrest?
Probably didn’t arrest him there since he ate FUCKING CRACK
The pigeon guy is my spirit animal.

Had to laugh when walking by the city police station in Adelaide south Australia, as someone had planted a dope plant in there front garden and you could smell the bloody thing for 2 blocks.
Girlfriend and I stand at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green. Opposite us is a cop car. Some dude jaywalks right in front of them. Seconds later you hear them over the megaphone "Yo dude, you do realise you're jaywalking right past us, don't you?" Dude probably shat his pants and the 2 policemen laughing their arses off but let it slide.
Gotta love the German police.
If you've had three people "drive into" you while in an extremely noticable car, you're probably the bad driver.

Well, he was nurturing it back to heatlh.

42:50 I once found an up-side-down car in a ditch. The car was not visible from the road, and I have no idea how long it had been there, but the engine was cold. There were no people inside the car so I called the non-emergency number.
However, it was a blue car, not a red car. I have no idea if it sounded any different as I didn't hear the crash.
It was kind of weird, but I never heard anything more about it.

It's not that I think that jerk shouldn't face a consequence for that, he absolutely should. But is it a a crime to scare a horse? Or is it because he endangered the rider when he did it?
This happened in in a small town near me. A sheriff deputy came to a Convenience store on his way home in a different county then he worked in. The women who work notice that the other customer was maybe drunk ask to talk to him ask him to call him to pick up. So the sheriff's deputy went out to talk to the guy and they start talking and guy pulls out and shots at the cop misses and the cop shots the drunk guy.
The sheriff couldn't even have arrested the drunk he was in the different county then he worked in. All the drunk had to do was look at patches on the sheriff jacket.

I was with my friends riding our motorcycles . I had a little Honda 350 street and trail bike. While my friends bikes were big bikes 650 and higher. I was trying to keep up with them. I got stopped by a police officer for doing 75 in a 35 mile zone at night on a permit. The officer said I know why you were speeding. I saw you trying to keep up with your friends. Facing several fines, the speeding ticket being the most expensive. I said to the officer, well since you know why I was speeding. Please don't give me a ticket for speeding? He looked at me ,then he gave me a 35 dollar fine for being out at night on a permit.
"I thought you didn't give tickets to pretty girls."
"Is that what you heard? You're right, we don't. Sign here please."
(Wish that was on here.)
I seriously could keep going.
is the officers that gets crashed into alot ok cause if your car gets totaled then it was probably a bad crash
