I use to work at a sports stadium. The policy of the stadium was to card everyone regardless of age when they wanted a Beer. That way they could not be accused of age discrimination (only carding the young and not old). This man around 50 kept coming up to me asking for a beer. I asked for his ID. All he would show Me was his badge. No police ID, just the badge and said that’s all he ever needs. I smile and say, no ID, no beer.

If revoked there is a good chance it was because of Drunk Driving - as at that time, a DUI was the only reason you would loose it. Later on they included all the other stuff like failure to pay child support. The man would not go to anyone else. He had a point to make and would leave, get back in line and try again. After the 4th time he saw a local cop and dragged him over and in front of the cop demanded a beer. I asked for ID, out flips the badge and I say No. This guy demanded the local cop arrest me. The local cop turns to him and says - No ID, No Beer and walked away. Leaving him with his Mouth open. It was so funny. I didn’t laugh until the guy left. It is one of those things that just stays in your head.
This guy should be fired from his job. This guy really thought he was above the law and wanted to use his position to excuse his behavior. He’s not the type of guy who should be leading the police.

This Sheriff paints law enforcement in a dark light. He should allow the officer to write him a ticket, and pay it accordingly, like every other citizen has to do. Period.
Once he came into the Station to apologize...the superior officer...AND THE MAYOR...should have required the officer who caught him speeding to then issue the ticket(s).

@Timmy bee you sound insane. It's irrelevant whether he was on duty or not. He was speeding. He needs to provide his license and pay a fine unless he can provide a good reason for speeding. It's really that simple. No debate about what's right and wrong here.
He didn't do his job properly if he was he would've ticketed him and arrested him, for refusing. Just like how they would do to anybody else that wasn't a cop.
"I'm the sheriff" oh so, that means you're above the law? You can treat officers without respect even though you'd want members of the public to treat you with respect? Sounds like he's in a position that he doesn't fully understand.
Something similar to my dad happened. He's a fire chief, so it's a bit different, but people know his face. Guy pulls him over for doing about 65 in a 45, and my dad goes "it'll be fine" in an entitled tone. He got a ticket
By not giving his license he made his own life a lot more difficult. It could’ve been an isolated incident, but now it’s all over the internet. He proved that he isn’t fit to be in any position of power.
The sheriff is a disgrace and should be suspended pending termination. He holds the highest law enforcement position in the county, and with such, he needs to demonstrate professionalism, respect, and integrity. Kudos to the officer for doing his job, being calm and remaining professional.
... with a gun on your hip, approaching the officer, AND reaching for his wallet on the same side as your gun. That this officer didn’t immediately drawn down on him is very telling.
He didn't appoligize because he was truly remorseful. He appologized because he realized, once he calmed down, that the body/dashcam footage of his behavior would almost certainly be attached to the incident report that would be entered in the system, as a result of the stop (regardless of wether he was cited or not).
Absolutely, it is "Intimidating a Police Officer in my state. Would have definitely been time to get my Chief on the phone. Good thing he had a body camera. By not giving the license he was "Obstructing," therefore an arrestable offense. Just a power mad individual who doesn't need to be in law enforcement.
The sheriff got out of his truck when told not to, he should have been hand cuffed and taken to jail,, and then Fired,, he should have been treated like anyone else, NO one is above the law
He needs to resign right now, it’s so obvious he’s going to do whatever he thinks is justified and he should resign so nothing terrible happens to other people who live in that area
As a sheriff and higher ranked policeman, he should be more compliant and humble to give the example. Nobody is above the law and the officer should've handed him a ticket for speeding, there's nothing wrong with that. And the sheriff only apologizes because the encounter was made public, if not he wouldn't apologize nor care. Such a disgrace and shame.
He probably isnt a softy but when you work in an organization with bureaucracy like military and police it's hard to stand up to rank because it can affect your livelihood. I've never been police but in the military you don't wear bodycams so at the end of the day it would be lower rankings word against a superior so you can imagine how that might go. I can almost guarantee tee tho officer probably had a lot of things he wanted to say but chose better judgment to save his ass in the long run. Now the police chief and mayor know what kind of leader he is all be it might not make a difference but that is simply and assumption.
@@kennethmoya9444 you should see the female cop give a ticket to a chief.... Nothing happened to her because of it. She had more balls than this cop for standing her ground.
Because the sheriff is an elected official, it would be difficult to remove him from his job. He can't just be fired. A judge may be able to remove him from his duties because he committed a crime. That is an unmarked vehicle.
Does it make a difference if it was an unmarked vehicle or not?? I think at the very least he should be demoted for not adhering to the laws he promised to enforce when he became an officer of the law. How can someone be an officer of the law if they don't respect it?? I feel like he should at the very least be investigated or demoted. Why isn't it a crime to not provide identification when asked?? Don't regular people get in trouble for doing that same thing? I have no criminal record so I don't know much about getting in trouble but I feel like in my state at least, I have seen people in the court section of the newspaper having been issued fines for not providing proper ID. That being said, I almost never carry mine on me because I lose everything lol. Only when I need it do I bring it with me. I also know my ID number though which has helped me in the past.
@@imnotabotrlyimnot They actually changed the laws in NC years back to where you do not need to have your drivers license on you to drive. I lost my wallet once and I said to the officer who was called out, “I’m sorry I’m driving without a license.” The officer looked up from what he was doing with such a look of shock and alarm. As if he was dealing with a well-seasoned criminal, disguised as a girl in a sundress who gives police officers four leaf clovers. “Oooh, because of your wallet,” and then informed me of the change. He assumed it was suspended or revoked automatically.
Him refusing to comply with the officer who stopped him tells me that he thinks he’s above the law. He took an oath to protect the constitution of the US and his State and he broke that oath. Release him of his duties.
Yep - any investigation he’s involved with from now on will be tainted. All the defense will have to do is show this video in court to destroy his character and call into question the entirety of the investigation. He needs to resign to let the office save some face.
Imagine if the average person refused to give a drivers license and insurance and then jump out of the vehicle after being told to stay in the vehicle. I’d bet you would have been treated differently, makes me sad to have this man as my county sheriff. :(
@@joeyoest1105 exactly, in a best case scenario you would probably be tased till you wet yourself…. The sheriff pretty well did everything wrong and inappropriately in this video.
@@thejackboxYeah, I hope he will either be replaced or maybe even quit due to the bad public exposure. If he does stick around I would definitely vote him out.
The Sheriff acted entirely within the law, and the scope of his authority. It is very very very clear that people have no idea how much authority the ELECTED OFFICE of Sheriff possesses.
This sheriff should be cited in front of a disciplinary comity. He should be suspended and have a permanent mark on his file. This type of behaviour is appalling and should not go unpunished.
Only the governor of that state can remove a sheriff from office. He is elected. Glad he owned up to his egregious behavior but it would have been best to set an example. Rather he decided to be made an example of.
@@aabahdjfisosososos It's the concept. This sheriff should have ID'd himself considering he committed a traffic offense, like a normal person would. Furthermore, I bet this sheriff would arrest someone within a heartbeat for failure to ID. This was just all over ego and power.
“I’m the sheriff! I can speed and possibly take a life if I damn well please. Oh.. was that on body cam? My bad, scratch that.” Thank God for body cams 🤞🏽
The sheriff is a voted in position... so to remove one it is really difficult. In the town I live in the sheriff was arrested for assaulting his wife, but the only way to remove him is for a recall vote to occur. Recall votes take months.
I wouldn't say it was bad he didn't beat around the bush and make up a accuse and just said sorry and apologized to the officer a bad apologize would be one of james Charles apologizes
Just another ego-driven officer who thinks he's above the law. Even one little action like this should be taken VERY seriously. If this is his initial response to Breaking the Law. He should not be given a high position of power. If he abuses his power for such a little infraction. He will most certainly abused his position again.

@@edu456no he got suspended without pay and had to pay the ticket as well as apologize publicly
Write him a ticket. It's not too late. His apology is unacceptable. No one -- NO ONE -- is above the law. Do not reelect him.
except for fleva fleva
Of course it is too late. It would be tossed out. Nevermind the fact it would cause problems when this pd needs backup from the sheriff 👌
He’ll be lucky he can get a job at McDonald’s
It’s so funny how police think they can get away with anything
fr pretty embarrassing how they think the law is gonna allow them to speed
@@kencarsonfan1 it’s so stupid “im a cop“
You mean "can get away with anything".
They do for the most part
He literally apologized lol.
Needs to be charged with a felony.
By not giving his license he made his own life a lot more difficult. It could’ve been an isolated incident, but now it’s all over the internet. He proved that he isn’t fit to be in any position of power.
He still hasn't been punished much after months lol
Right and I bet it's all over the internet intentionally to discredit him before the next election
@@masonicjewel6687 he discredited himself
@@quicksand2828 no boo the man running against him for sheriff did
@@masonicjewel6687 the man running against him for sheriff made him behave this way?
When a tyrant is a bully to his own. Imagine how he acts towards other citizens.
Imagine how he acts to his wife and/or children, if he has any.
Amen!!!!
@@steverobertson1729 I hope he dose not have a family. Can't imagine who'd breed with him.
He will have reasonable suspicion when there is none. He will pull out and fire his weapon if you even scratch your butt
@@OverRule1 You never know what someone might pull out of their butt. So, just saying.
When you enforce the law but can’t understand it
😂🤣😂
@Rik Mehta stay mad
He was like yeah I'm speeding and I'm the sheriff no ticket for me
Enforce but don’t actually follow.
Calmgoodfire...that part!!
The sheriff is a disgrace and should be suspended pending termination. He holds the highest law enforcement position in the county, and with such, he needs to demonstrate professionalism, respect, and integrity. Kudos to the officer for doing his job, being calm and remaining professional.
Imagine being able to just apologize and not get shot when exiting the vehicle
... with a gun on your hip, approaching the officer, AND reaching for his wallet on the same side as your gun.
That this officer didn’t immediately drawn down on him is very telling.
Oh here we go
@@billybertrand5973 tell me what the proper answer is ? oh knowledgeable one
@@BillyDee45 He was never threatened. You that dense?
I can't even
He did not want to pull out his DL card because he already pulled out his “entitled Karen” card.
He used the entitled tyrant card.
🤣🤣🤣
He didn't appoligize because he was truly remorseful. He appologized because he realized, once he calmed down, that the body/dashcam footage of his behavior would almost certainly be attached to the incident report that would be entered in the system, as a result of the stop (regardless of wether he was cited or not).
Exactly
He was worried about getting re-elected.
He was just doing PR. He truly has entitlement issues.
Totally out of order. Just imagine being stopped by that jerk.
This here is literally an example of the problem with police departments. So he just gets away with whatever he got pulled over for. 😡
Yeah 😡 ...anyone else would have recieved a ticket.
"I'm the sheriff" Then you should know better, the fine should be far higher for sheriffs.
Agreed, but that's not how the law works. In nearly every state, the Sheriff is almost entirely above the law.
isn’t this technically abuse of power? or does that not apply to them and him mentioning he’s a sheriff some form of intimidation
Absolutely it is abuse of power. He was essentially being a bully.
Absolutely, it is "Intimidating a Police Officer in my state. Would have definitely been time to get my Chief on the phone. Good thing he had a body camera. By not giving the license he was "Obstructing," therefore an arrestable offense. Just a power mad individual who doesn't need to be in law enforcement.
The sheriff got out of his truck when told not to, he should have been hand cuffed and taken to jail,, and then Fired,, he should have been treated like anyone else, NO one is above the law
He needs to resign right now, it’s so obvious he’s going to do whatever he thinks is justified and he should resign so nothing terrible happens to other people who live in that area
Facts
Just because you're a sheriff, doesn't make you any better than anyone else.
Remember, that your job is a privilege, not a right.
and so is everything else
Big facts👏👏🎯
So true
Exactly!
fr
As a sheriff and higher ranked policeman, he should be more compliant and humble to give the example. Nobody is above the law and the officer should've handed him a ticket for speeding, there's nothing wrong with that.
And the sheriff only apologizes because the encounter was made public, if not he wouldn't apologize nor care. Such a disgrace and shame.
I agree, that cop was a softy... Should have finished his job and duty.
He probably isnt a softy but when you work in an organization with bureaucracy like military and police it's hard to stand up to rank because it can affect your livelihood. I've never been police but in the military you don't wear bodycams so at the end of the day it would be lower rankings word against a superior so you can imagine how that might go. I can almost guarantee tee tho officer probably had a lot of things he wanted to say but chose better judgment to save his ass in the long run. Now the police chief and mayor know what kind of leader he is all be it might not make a difference but that is simply and assumption.
@@kennethmoya9444 you should see the female cop give a ticket to a chief.... Nothing happened to her because of it. She had more balls than this cop for standing her ground.
Not everybody has the same leadership just like not everyone works for a good boss or has a good manager
I agree, the cop should of gave him a ticket.
He is so disrespectful. Shouldn't be a cop and especially overseeing a people under his watch.
Because the sheriff is an elected official, it would be difficult to remove him from his job. He can't just be fired. A judge may be able to remove him from his duties because he committed a crime. That is an unmarked vehicle.
Does it make a difference if it was an unmarked vehicle or not?? I think at the very least he should be demoted for not adhering to the laws he promised to enforce when he became an officer of the law. How can someone be an officer of the law if they don't respect it?? I feel like he should at the very least be investigated or demoted. Why isn't it a crime to not provide identification when asked?? Don't regular people get in trouble for doing that same thing? I have no criminal record so I don't know much about getting in trouble but I feel like in my state at least, I have seen people in the court section of the newspaper having been issued fines for not providing proper ID. That being said, I almost never carry mine on me because I lose everything lol. Only when I need it do I bring it with me. I also know my ID number though which has helped me in the past.
Lets not forget the payout as well
@@xbrandi12345x No one is required to carry I.D., other than a drivers licence when driving.
He can be fired by the mayor and/or the city council.
@@imnotabotrlyimnot They actually changed the laws in NC years back to where you do not need to have your drivers license on you to drive.
I lost my wallet once and I said to the officer who was called out, “I’m sorry I’m driving without a license.” The officer looked up from what he was doing with such a look of shock and alarm. As if he was dealing with a well-seasoned criminal, disguised as a girl in a sundress who gives police officers four leaf clovers. “Oooh, because of your wallet,” and then informed me of the change. He assumed it was suspended or revoked automatically.
Him refusing to comply with the officer who stopped him tells me that he thinks he’s above the law. He took an oath to protect the constitution of the US and his State and he broke that oath. Release him of his duties.
Because he is "Sheriff" he feels he is above a police officer. I hope that county has news for him.
Any and everything he’s ever done while on duty need to be investigated. He has a very bad/cocky attitude.
Totally agree with you!
Yep - any investigation he’s involved with from now on will be tainted. All the defense will have to do is show this video in court to destroy his character and call into question the entirety of the investigation. He needs to resign to let the office save some face.
The sheriff needs to be “unhired”‼️‼️
Imagine if the average person refused to give a drivers license and insurance and then jump out of the vehicle after being told to stay in the vehicle. I’d bet you would have been treated differently, makes me sad to have this man as my county sheriff. :(
Not to mention reaching for his wallet - on the same side as the gun on his hip. I’m sure that would go over well if you or I did that, right?
@@joeyoest1105 exactly, in a best case scenario you would probably be tased till you wet yourself…. The sheriff pretty well did everything wrong and inappropriately in this video.
Don’t be sad, vote his ass out of office
@@thejackboxYeah, I hope he will either be replaced or maybe even quit due to the bad public exposure. If he does stick around I would definitely vote him out.
The Sheriff acted entirely within the law, and the scope of his authority. It is very very very clear that people have no idea how much authority the ELECTED OFFICE of Sheriff possesses.
This is like parents saying "do as I say, not as I do".
You spelled "politicians" wrong....
He's only sorry we found out.
I feel like the police is getting more dangerous. Bodycams exist, yet they're acting like it's invisible.
Agreed
Dude check out Canada. Most of our cops don’t have body cams yet
Dude it’s literally just a drivers license incident that he later apologized for.
@@aabahdjfisosososos still shows he thinks he's above the law
@Rik Mehta it sure would be a shame if everyone reports you for hate speech
This sheriff should be cited in front of a disciplinary comity. He should be suspended and have a permanent mark on his file. This type of behaviour is appalling and should not go unpunished.
He does have a permanent mark in the internet though which is alot worst and alot more public
@@gillandalearts3041 Very true… and that doesn’t go away with time ! The internet is much more cruel then Internal affairs !
Only the governor of that state can remove a sheriff from office. He is elected. Glad he owned up to his egregious behavior but it would have been best to set an example. Rather he decided to be made an example of.
Shot. Not suspended. Shot.
@@dirtfarmer7070 shoot the governor for failure to remove him
He ONLY changed his tune when it dawned on him later that there was a body cam recording. Had there been no camera, he never would've apologized.
Nobody is above the Law!
Here we have the classic, “For Thee, not me.”.
Seriously? That's messed up.
Yeah well he apologized for doing so. It’s just a drivers license incident
@Rik Mehta bro get a life.
@@aabahdjfisosososos Sorry about that. I had only watched part of the video at the time.
@@aabahdjfisosososos It's the concept. This sheriff should have ID'd himself considering he committed a traffic offense, like a normal person would. Furthermore, I bet this sheriff would arrest someone within a heartbeat for failure to ID. This was just all over ego and power.
“I’m the sheriff! I can speed and possibly take a life if I damn well please. Oh.. was that on body cam? My bad, scratch that.” Thank God for body cams 🤞🏽
*when hes only sorry he got caught :(
hi im the sherif..i was picked on and made fun of as a kid....now its my turn to be an ass
Treat him like every other citizen
He needs to held accountable, no matter if he is the sheriff!!!!
The sheriff is a voted in position... so to remove one it is really difficult. In the town I live in the sheriff was arrested for assaulting his wife, but the only way to remove him is for a recall vote to occur. Recall votes take months.
And still, he remains on the force, just because he said he was "Sorry." 🙄
You can't fire a sheriff, unfortunately... he is an elected official... To remove one requires a recall vote.
Entitled, and thinks he’s above the law. Shouldn’t be an officer.
Should be fired
This guy shouldn’t be “the sheriff of this” county anymore.
Apologized after realizing the whole thing was recorded & everyone will be watching
“Officer, do you not realize I. The Sheriff and above the law?!” Also, can we talk about how much of a complete and utter jOkE his apology was?
I wouldn't say it was bad he didn't beat around the bush and make up a accuse and just said sorry and apologized to the officer a bad apologize would be one of james Charles apologizes
Must be nice for sheriffs to be above the law in that county.
What an embarrassment for law enforcement. With a tyrant like that in charge, the whole department must be a mess.
"I'm the sheriff." Congratulations, here's a ticket.
So by him stating he’s the sheriff of that county, is he insinuating that he’s above the law and that laws don’t apply to him?🤦🏻♂️
Bingo!
Just another ego-driven officer who thinks he's above the law. Even one little action like this should be taken VERY seriously. If this is his initial response to Breaking the Law. He should not be given a high position of power. If he abuses his power for such a little infraction. He will most certainly abused his position again.
I apologize for getting caught and for it being recorded.
