It IS INDEED the ABSOLUTE worst advice. The only thing is to take the ticket and DON'T offer ANY "excuse" to the cop AT ALL. (Save your "story" for court)., If you are ever arrested, Say NOTHING AT ALL (aside from providing ID...) Say NOTHING except "I want a lawyer" AND then say nothing more. (Don't even say "sorry"- This implies guilt, and it WILL be used as evidence against you!) Source: Grandfather was a cop. HE gave me this advice decades ago!
@@jamesslick4790 This. Groveling before Law Enforcement is probably the DUMBEST thing anyone could ever do especially in regards to Traffic Violations.
Fun Fact: The other day I was listening to my scanner. The Police were in pursuit of a speeder. Since it was only a traffic infraction, and the speeds were getting excessive on major road, they terminated the chase, So...The speeder got away. Um, He was driving a Ford....ESCAPE!!! 🤔😳🤣
Would pointing out the irony that the producers of the first "How to beat DA MAN" video actually couldn't redundant? And hell, is that Michael Rye doing the narration for the second video? I don't think I'd be able to take legal advice from Duke Igthorn.
Wonder if they made that speeding ticket video available in states like Virginia, where it is illegal to own a radar detector? I'm sure the coupon would mention that in the fine print.
Well, what I can say about these videos is that I have spent the afternoon reading actual tax writeoff and speeding ticket advice from random sites online. Who says Archive isn't educational?
$199 for a BASIC 40 channel CB in 1986?!?😲 The HIGHEST END Radio Shack mobile CB of that era was about the same price and it was not just 40 AM Channels, but also 80 LSB/USB sideband channels! The equivalent radio to the one shown in materials with that tape was about $80 at Radio Shack then. Even IF you were able to get $50 off, you were getting center loaded right up the PL-259 (if ya know what I mean..LOL) Source: Worked at Radio Shack in the mid 1980s.

64 miles an hour in a 25 mile an hour speed limit zone? If all that person got was a speeding ticket, they would be thinking they’re lucky stars, I don’t know about most states but here in Tennessee if you’re anything above 15 miles over the speed limit, that’s instantly reckless driving!
Back in Beautiful Downtown Aurora, 20 over* was an instant arrest and impound (at least, it was as of the time I left--no idea if that's still true). *If memory serves
64 in a 25 is definitely "get a lawyer" territory, but the general advice isn't too bad. Keep your hands on the wheel, treat the officer with respect, show up in court. I wouldn't try to litigate the case with the officer like that one lawyer was saying, but "don't explicitly admit to anything" is good advice.
This was hilarious. The first one is slick but a pyramid scheme big tine. The second one would not work. 64 in a 25 and you don't go to jail is just asinine. And yes, I do own some Renaissance albums. Ashes are burning. Great work Ben. You took two for the team.
Once I got caught traveling 46 in a 45 zone. Officer dragged me out of the car, beat me within an inch of my life and called in for backup so that six other officers got their chance to hit me about the head, neck and ribs with metal pipes and the butts of their service revolvers. I was arrested for reckless driving and spend almost a year in jail after the judge asked me why I was arrested but my jaw had been wired shut from my injuries and he took that as an offense so I got the maximum penalty for my speeding 1 miles an hour over the limit. The road I was driving on was a desolate highway in the desert.
So the first tape was an MLM thing, because well...using Jackson Hewitt, or H&R Block is inconvenient. As for the 2nd...don't try any of this, especially in Virginia where they've made it clear that's going to be a very expensive felony.
Maybe you were joking by the repeated correction of "criteria" to "criterias," but "criteria" is the plural of "criterion," as in the collection. If a joke, I guess you got me.
25 to life sounds like a "we find the defendant *incredibly* guilty" sentence for tax stuff.
"Incredibly Guilty" need to be a "thing"!

What's that funky track from "How to Beat a Speeding Ticket"? It kicks.
5:28 Benny-boy and Candomble, I never thought I would see this two together.
"You won't have to worry about inconvenient appointments, only inconvenient depositions!"
Woah, not even Green Lantern himself can tell me how to get out of a speeding ticket!
Remember the Taxmasters commercials a decade ago?
"We'll make sure they treat you fairly and treat you with respect"
So they put the the copy machine next to toilet when you have a home business.

Nice to see all of Kate Bush's work on the shelf, oh and great entertaining vid (even though i'm a Brit and don't drive!)
I thought that was Ben Stein behind the desk early on in the video. 😂
The cop Steve Munday seems like he's from a Carpenter Brut video.
Frames or No Frames. Life’s tough decisions were so much easier back then.
It was certainly a blast from the past for me.
Happy Oddity Thursday!

Steve Munday was a Glendale based CHP spokesman in the age of CHiPs

In AZ, anything over 15 is considered "criminal speeding".
@@OddityArchive Wow? Seriously, it was THAT Rigid in Aurora and Denver?

To me he sounded slightly Italian, but whatever, the race or nationality of that individual is completely irrelevant.
the first one is from 1999? wow it looks dated for even then
And the speeding video looked like it was from the 90s even though it was from 1986.

I believe it was $24.95 back in 1986. I didn’t pay near that.
