I work as a flagger, this is (no joke) a daily occurrence. My boss has been hit twice and I’ve had a couple close calls. I will regularly close off a road with cones and signs, stand there with a stop sign and still be asked “Is the road closed?” Countless elderly folk just get confused and do what they think is right.
I've been a construction flagger before and at first you don't think much of it until you encounter your first inattentive driver. Then it becomes a nerve racking job of keeping your self safe and alert and thinking everyone might hit you.
hey, just a question. how does one become a construction flagger? is the pay good? do you have to do all the other jobs too? how long does it take to get to work in construction? do you have to give to college?

Most model Porsches are on par price wise with a new model loaded SUV. Not saying it's cheap, but not as expensive as they act like in these videos. I have one and can tell you they lose their value quickly when they get high miles and can be purschased for less than a what a used F150 of the same age would cost after 5-10 years.
Impatient old guy. My father was a bit of an aggressive driver. It isn't because you drive a Porsche sir. He isn't seeking money. He just wants to stay alive.
No sometimes they dont read them. Its the minute you are being investigated. As soon as a comes to your house "oh we have a witness or something that happened blah blah" you need to shut your mouth right there and say "I want to speak to a lawyer".
Don’t talk to cops, period. “Hello officer. You’re here for what? Oh no I’m sorry but I will not be able to discuss that with you.” If cuffs come out, stand there and cooperate, and hope you have money for a lawyer.
@@Maya_Pinion can you imagine both stories being allegations and making a bias opinion. For all we know it could have happened exactly like the driver said and the kid and his buddies lied. We don’t know and unfortunately today we have ignorant kids and ignorant elderly so both stories are possible.
My sister was a flagger on a highway crew and she had so many stories of how people just blatantly ignoring her. She was almost hit a few times. The entitlement of some people is outrageous.
I encountered a work crew on a blind hairpin curve, that had only set up "construction ahead" signs a hundred feet away. This was useless, and with a speed limit of 45, did not provide enough mental warning for drivers. Once the work started, to make it worse, there began to be a line of vehicles fully stopped, the last one being literally 1/4 second of visibility, before impacting it. It was SO dangerous. I almost hit the lady last in line. Because of this, I then put on my warning flashers, and backed up to where I could be seen with flashers on, blocking the lane.. my hope was that I could prevent a literal high speed crash and likely fatal event. It was a hillside with a cliff on the other side of the road. I was able to prevent SEVERAL cars driving 55mph from hitting that line of cars. I prevented tragedy. Once they let the line go through, and I was able to get to the area where they were working, I shared the experience and facts with the guy holding the flag. I told him that they needed to place signs, or flaggers further back if they stop traffic again, because they had created a high-speed accident trap. You know what the guy did? He had this smug smile on his face while I was talking.. .waited till I was done, and said "Have a nice day, sir". I asked if his supervisor was near, he said no. And as I drove away, he effing flipped me off. I called the company, took a few days to get ahold of someone with authority. I emailed him a google sat view of how they had their 'work' area set up, signage, etc. The guy apologized and a couple weeks later emailed that they had sat that crew down and had a meeting. 2 of the people at the work area, including smart-ass finger man, were terminated. I had gotten video of the interaction, and pics of the signage, coupled with the layout of the bend from Google. The supervisor thanked me for preventing tragedy. So, when I see these guys and gals directing traffic NOW, I know that some of them are VERIFIABLE A$$HATS. That's reality. I think the guy in this story was 1/2 to blame. I GUARANTEE you, he gets a kick out of being dramatic with *some of the people who roll into his domain, and I think he did that here. So that entitlement you mention is not from one side.
@@joshcryer They read you your Miranda rights for certain misdemeanor crimes. It's still considered an "arrest" even if they give you the citation and let you go. Shows up on your record the same way.
They only need to miranda you if they want to ask you questions that could be used against you in court. Anything you mutter on your own that gets recorded on their camera is also evidence that can be used against them too.
He didn't know what the officer meant by aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, because of course that's a ridiculous charge for this scenario. Battery is much more reasonable.
Because the other guy is being over dramatic about being “hit with a car” if he was hit by a car he’d be hurt or ran over ,if he was trying to run him over he would’ve . He didn’t . He probably slowly went up and dude tried getting himself ran over trying to stop him .
@@DangerRussDayZ6533 They consider cars a deadly weapon, any charge in a car gets a higher degree because when you get your license you AGREE to recognize the potential danger of it and any disregard for that elevated risk.
@@CheifChefI’m %100 on your side but I’ve seen deer run randomly cross the road with cars and it ran into a door and completely busted it. You can’t hit an animal with a your door very hard.
@@CheifChef Well when the deer jumped from the side of the road and through my windshield ending up a bloody mess all over my passenger seat would you say I hit him or he hit me? My insurance man said he hit me. As did the State Police when they arrived at the scene to fill out a report.
The lady said he was the nicest man you’d ever meet, but that probably means nicest to other millionaires, not necessarily to the layman directing traffic.
Let’s be honest, that kid sounds like he can barely articulate himself well enough to hold a stop sign for a job. I think most of us would get frustrated if the turn off to our home was being blocked by barely old enough to drink construction workers.
@@oliveryt7168In terms of potential outcomes, what is the difference between trying to run somebody over with your car and threatening them with a gun? Both can end up killing somebody or putting them in the hospital. I guarantee if this old dude had pulled a gun on the road flagger instead of trying to push past him with his car, nobody would be defending him in these comments.

I thought the same. You'd think someone that rich and old would know better. Plus, this is a good argument for dashcams (provided he was actually innocent, which might not be the case here). It's easy enough for anyone to have contact with a Porsche and concoct a story to get the ball rolling on a lawsuit.
@@Mister_Rat_ talking to the police can never under any circumstances permit you a defense or prove your innocence. It doesn't matter if this old dude did it, he should have kept his mouth shut.
@@joshcryer like most people, he thought if he explained his side of the story, everything would be fine. Instead he just admitted to parts of the story that the witnesses told.
@@PazuzuM666obviously he made a mistake, it’s funny though because there’s no point asking the question if the officer is going to accept that as an answer
I spent 6 years as an emt, some of my older and disoriented patients would get the year right but the millennium wrong! 2020 would 1920 etc, not sure why that happens but it wasn’t uncommon in my experience
They may have been asking him to check his mental stability.. Many times older people are no longer mentally capable of operating vehicles on public roads. In this case, the officer should have asked him twice to verify if it was an honest mistake or if he has dementia or other mental issues that tend to affect elderly people. If he doesn't have elderly issues, he's probably just another rich person who thinks he's better than us common folk lol... And it's a well known thing that Porsche drivers tend to be A-holes. I used to drive one when I was in my 20's, as I got it for a very good price from a high ranking officer at my old base leaving to be stationed somewhere far away. I have some very wealthy friends that are older than me and they told me to get rid of it haha.
I think the road construction guy is over exaggerating, I actually believe the old man that the guy ran up in front of his car touching it with his legs,,He wasn’t hurt for a reason! It’s just common sense! He should have had a dash cam!
Wait until you get old and life is stressful and complicated and some asse holes are confusing you. That young dude is over the top. There is real crime out there!
@@bereal6590 If you are old, stressed and confused, time to take the car away for other people's safety! BTW--the elderly man said it was 1922, it is recorded by the police officer. Guess you missed that part which has nothing to do with the construction worker who you called an a$$hole.
He was charged and convicted so he obviously did exactly what the young worker said. Yet both of them went straight to: "Oh you know what these minimum wage workers are like all getting together and oh there's a nice car lets all pretend he drove into us, come on officer you know what these working scum are like". Disgusting beyond words.
@@homelessalcoholic2716 YOYOYOYO the perpetrator is a rich white men in Florida (I hate that I actually said that) so someone has to come for his defense. And not the other rich friend who wanted to post bail instantly
My 96 year old best friend was the nicest guy in the world, until he drove his car. You couldn’t tell him anything. His lady friend would tell him to slow down but it didn’t help. I would tell him to drive safely but I had to stop riding with him on his car. I always drove when we went out to eat, etc.. he passed away this year of old age. He should have not been driving but he was too hard headed. I’m glad he didn’t hurt anyone with his car. He was a great friend.
The moment I heard “we followed this case for 2 years in the courts” you had me! Subscribed! I love creators that follow through on these videos! Great job! 👏🏻
@@jonhonest3974 If he would have just shut up and consulted with his lawyer, he probably could have got all charges dropped instead of just downgraded.
As a TC supervisor I can give an unbiased view. I witnessed many times where motorists will be impatient with the flaggers, and even run the stop paddles or show aggressive behavior by revving their engine or yelling to the flagger that they "just need to go right there". If it's a flagging op and they're stopping your vehicle, it's because it's a one-lane only situation and chances are there are vehicles already coming towards you. We try to cycle traffic to within a reasonable time so that you're not held up, and yet again people are impatient and will drive past our flaggers only to be met with oncoming traffic. Of course the screws up everybody else's time. Conversely, I've also witnessed flaggers become aggressive towards drivers and standing out in front of moving vehicles. And that's never a good idea. Drive safe everyone and please be respectful of the construction zone.
Yeah, and I've seen them make shit up and lie about being hit as well. I pulled a contract for a sidewalk repair for the city a few years back, and I seen a TC walk into traffic randomly and claim that he was hit, and had I not been a witness against it, they would have nailed the driver with a felony. His coworkers even lied on his behalf, and pulled the same shit these dudes did. Also, Florida is the #1 fraud State in the country btw.
How do you know hes not telling the truth? Cause the other guys buddies "witnessed" the alleged crime? Dude, people concoct schemes like this to run on rich guys all the time.
I believe the road construction worker. The man was pissed off because he couldn't make a left hand turn from the one direction traffic lane. That happens during construction. Go straight forward only...no turns.
One thing that was the same from both parties is the man kept saying how everything was moving slow(said more than once) and the traffic person said the man was being inpatient and yelling
Yeah i drive like im walking on a sidewalk. If someone is in a hurry and they run past me i don’t care at all. If someone walks real close behind me i just move over and let them pass. Why do people become monsters behind the wheel. We don’t act like that when walking in crowded places or waiting in line.
Thats wild. I had the same exact thing. When i got married i made a decision im done. I have the same feeling towards it. It was super easy and a clear difference.
One thing I will say: This family disagreed with the cops BUT they didn't get in the cops face, they didn't scream at him and threaten him. They didn't gang up on him and escalate things in any way. They calmly asked questions and got information and followed up with an actual attorney. Kudos.
A lot of police videos have people screaming and cussing at the officers, resisting every chance they get. This is why I appreciated this video. It was a nice perspective change to see how the more civil people are handled.
I worked as an engineer for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for over 30 years and have seen many irate motorists being slowed in our workzones. As a motorist myself, I've also been "inconvenienced" by these delays. Generally, as long as there's proper advance warnings of the delay, (construction signs and changeable message signs, most motorist are OK with the necessary road work. The flaggers are out there to make sure the motorists, the construction workers, and the inspectors are safe. In the past few decades or so, there were so many incidents, that we moved a lot of our work to night work to lessen the impact during the high traffic volumes during the day. Also, on large projects, we have help from the CHP (California Highway Patrol) to slow down traffic in our workzones. Unfortunately, there are still many construction workers and Caltrans employees who are killed or injured by motorists. Please, slow for the cone zone!
Yeah, people are crazy and impatient when they drive. I was nearly hit myself doing Asphalt testing near LAX. The guy just drove through the cones at high speed and I had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. They love to tailgate too. It's like they expect you to drive reckless behind the driver in front of you.
@@chasugc3740damnnnn. Sounds like your state needs to change traffic management guidelines. Here in Australia, most serious vehicular incidents happen within roadworks sites as opposed to on-road with motorists.
@@marniee.d.5511 Yeah, a lot of people will try to criticize when they don't understand the population at hand. Los Angeles has arguably 2000 times more people in the county as opposed to the people in the entire country of Australia. For example there are approx. 3 million square miles in Australia with only 26 million people. In LA County, there are 9.7 million people in only 502 square miles. So, Los Angeles is packed pretty dense compared to Australia. Americans are also a little more rowdy than Australians, I'm sure. Australians have given most of their gun rights. Los Angeles also has a lot of immigrants, I'm sure way more than Australia. Everyone wants to come here. The state itself is the richest state in the entire U.S. It is also the second most desired city in the entire United States. So, before you try to criticize as a foreigner, learn a little more about it.
For those immediately siding with the suspect in this case under the guise that they are looking for a payday. The victim did not claim injury and this was a criminal not civil trial AND the suspect plead guilty to battery which means his attorney did not think they had a good enough chance to beat the criminal charge of battery with a DW 😬
But criminal charges can lead to easy civil lawsuits. If you understand law; I’ve been studying law to try and do my bar exam. Any criminal charges can open door for an easy civil payday! I’ll keep it simple; if you don’t believe me. Just look it up your self.
@@TheRedDevil_NC that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We're talking about them wanting a payday which is what the victims wife was alleging. The charges were not chosen by the victims, but by the police, and they are completely inline with the statute. Look up Florida statute 784.045 A person commits aggravated battery who, in committing the battery 1. Intentionally or knowingly causes great bodily harm or permanent disfigurement OR 2. Uses a deadly weapon. The second you hit somebody with a vehicle in Florida on purpose, no matter what speed, it is immediately Agg Batt DW, a 2nd degree felony.
@@gmontanabeats lmfao whatever keeps your narrative on this going. Literally all you can do is gesture vaguely at the outcome and claim a further conspiracy or incompetence. I imagine his lawyer is great as he got agg batt dw plead down to simple battery with no time served, but you think that they should have gone to trial to win this slam dunk with your zero information on the matter outside of conjecture.
I love how this dude and his wife think that because they drive a Porsche people are just looking for a reason to sue them. Calm down gramps, it's a Porsche SUV not a Rolls Royce. I know people who live in basic apartments who drive Porsche SUVs.
My ex-husband used to handle traffic. He was hit by a couple of people, he was spat on and had a beer bottle even thrown at him. When people, especially rich people, think their time is more valuable.
@@baltimoreluke absolutely not, this guy was no "doctor or engineer" he was a rude bitter old man who couldnt handle waiting a few more minutes in traffic to get home. And just because someone is in a high paying profession does not mean they have more rights than anyone else.
@@baltimoreluke false. This is the bullshit “work your life away” mentality the US wants you to believe. Your job title doesn’t make you any more important than anyone else, I don’t care what you do.
@@baltimoreluke yikes. No. That's not even remotely true. Considering the value of those people are determined by the contract that they sign with a client. That has literally no value to the world, none. The people that ARE valuable, are people like the person directing traffic, making sure everyone drives safely and efficiently. A person working an ATC tower, a firefighter, or an EMT would also hold real world value. A doctor does very little to serve people, they get rare moments where they do and only for every few specific doctors. Engineers serve no purpose or value in this world, they follow regulation and math. I should know, I have my masters in structural engineering. Engineers are easily replaced by pieces of paper printed out by a computer. Designers/architects are different, they have to understand the math and use new concepts to break ground. Which almost never happens. Kid, reality is very different for you, I suggest you stay in school so that you can soon figure that out. Real value lies in people that can actually contribute to communities and society. Doctors and engineers might be two of the worst examples, lol. Also, an influencer does have more value, it's why they often are so valuable in society, why companies pay them millions to make content, and why they can influence entire generations to change how retail works, and popularize products. I don't believe these people are a net positive, but they absolutely have massive value to society, more so than any doctor or engineer on this planet ever has in history.
@@smurfdaddy420 Allegedly. Guy seemed like a good dude. I bet the construction workers were just trying to get a payout, he was unhurt and absolutely put himself in that situation. You're not supposed to be in traffic while flagging. So you know this guy put himself in front of the car, which is just stupid.
The moment the cop started reading him his rights the guy and girl sitting there already knew the story. Im sure he told them all about the black dude he ran over and what are those type of people even doing on his block. I swear Florida is the leader is racist karens and darens
I work IT and deal with a lot of rich old people. Most of them are two faced and will have no problem being scumbags to people they perceive under them but when some type of higher authority gets involved, they play the victim card exactly like this old dude.

I was a flagger years ago, and one guy got really mad and reached into the glove compartment. I thought he was going for a gun and I was about to get shot. Met all sorts of interesting people on that job!
What did he pull out of his glove compartment......and how weird if you think about it, does people have that many gloves that they need a compartment in their car for them?
There must have been a reason at some point why they call it that, but I don't know, that was before my time. Oh the guy pulled out s paper to write down my license plste so he could file a complsint against me and have me put in jail for not letting him drive amongst all the haul trucks, big loaders, and D-9 bulldozers because he'd be "real careful", and " had to get going". Funny thing was, the car right there wasn't mine, and it would have been fuutile.
I lived in Florida for 11 years, definetely this guy tried to run over that guy. I used to live in a nice community like him but they all acted like him too, a lot of Karens and people that think are over the law because they have money.

His buddy recording at the beginning took off in a hurry! 😂
My sister was a flagger on a highway crew and she had so many stories of how people just blatantly ignoring her. She was almost hit a few times. The entitlement of some people is outrageous.
I encountered a work crew on a blind hairpin curve, that had only set up "construction ahead" signs a hundred feet away. This was useless, and with a speed limit of 45, did not provide enough mental warning for drivers. Once the work started, to make it worse, there began to be a line of vehicles fully stopped, the last one being literally 1/4 second of visibility, before impacting it. It was SO dangerous. I almost hit the lady last in line. Because of this, I then put on my warning flashers, and backed up to where I could be seen with flashers on, blocking the lane.. my hope was that I could prevent a literal high speed crash and likely fatal event. It was a hillside with a cliff on the other side of the road. I was able to prevent SEVERAL cars driving 55mph from hitting that line of cars. I prevented tragedy. Once they let the line go through, and I was able to get to the area where they were working, I shared the experience and facts with the guy holding the flag.
I told him that they needed to place signs, or flaggers further back if they stop traffic again, because they had created a high-speed accident trap.
You know what the guy did? He had this smug smile on his face while I was talking.. .waited till I was done, and said "Have a nice day, sir".
I asked if his supervisor was near, he said no. And as I drove away, he effing flipped me off.
I called the company, took a few days to get ahold of someone with authority. I emailed him a google sat view of how they had their 'work' area set up, signage, etc.
The guy apologized and a couple weeks later emailed that they had sat that crew down and had a meeting. 2 of the people at the work area, including smart-ass finger man, were terminated. I had gotten video of the interaction, and pics of the signage, coupled with the layout of the bend from Google. The supervisor thanked me for preventing tragedy.
So, when I see these guys and gals directing traffic NOW, I know that some of them are VERIFIABLE A$$HATS. That's reality.
I think the guy in this story was 1/2 to blame. I GUARANTEE you, he gets a kick out of being dramatic with *some of the people who roll into his domain, and I think he did that here. So that entitlement you mention is not from one side.
I was told to drop the sign in front of them... the steel pole was mounted in a steel tire rim. They stopped every time, that kid was a pussy.

@@jakesheldon7637you just taught me something 😂
They may have been asking him to check his mental stability.. Many times older people are no longer mentally capable of operating vehicles on public roads. In this case, the officer should have asked him twice to verify if it was an honest mistake or if he has dementia or other mental issues that tend to affect elderly people.
If he doesn't have elderly issues, he's probably just another rich person who thinks he's better than us common folk lol... And it's a well known thing that Porsche drivers tend to be A-holes. I used to drive one when I was in my 20's, as I got it for a very good price from a high ranking officer at my old base leaving to be stationed somewhere far away.

As a TC supervisor I can give an unbiased view. I witnessed many times where motorists will be impatient with the flaggers, and even run the stop paddles or show aggressive behavior by revving their engine or yelling to the flagger that they "just need to go right there". If it's a flagging op and they're stopping your vehicle, it's because it's a one-lane only situation and chances are there are vehicles already coming towards you. We try to cycle traffic to within a reasonable time so that you're not held up, and yet again people are impatient and will drive past our flaggers only to be met with oncoming traffic. Of course the screws up everybody else's time.
Conversely, I've also witnessed flaggers become aggressive towards drivers and standing out in front of moving vehicles. And that's never a good idea.
Drive safe everyone and please be respectful of the construction zone.
Hoping your flaggers are more eloquent with their speech when explaining a "life threatening" situation as this kid was.
Yeah, and I've seen them make shit up and lie about being hit as well. I pulled a contract for a sidewalk repair for the city a few years back, and I seen a TC walk into traffic randomly and claim that he was hit, and had I not been a witness against it, they would have nailed the driver with a felony. His coworkers even lied on his behalf, and pulled the same shit these dudes did. Also, Florida is the #1 fraud State in the country btw.

I worked as an engineer for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for over 30 years and have seen many irate motorists being slowed in our workzones. As a motorist myself, I've also been "inconvenienced" by these delays. Generally, as long as there's proper advance warnings of the delay, (construction signs and changeable message signs, most motorist are OK with the necessary road work. The flaggers are out there to make sure the motorists, the construction workers, and the inspectors are safe. In the past few decades or so, there were so many incidents, that we moved a lot of our work to night work to lessen the impact during the high traffic volumes during the day. Also, on large projects, we have help from the CHP (California Highway Patrol) to slow down traffic in our workzones. Unfortunately, there are still many construction workers and Caltrans employees who are killed or injured by motorists.
Please, slow for the cone zone!

@@gmontanabeats lmfao whatever keeps your narrative on this going. Literally all you can do is gesture vaguely at the outcome and claim a further conspiracy or incompetence.
I imagine his lawyer is great as he got agg batt dw plead down to simple battery with no time served, but you think that they should have gone to trial to win this slam dunk with your zero information on the matter outside of conjecture.
Gotta love mike at the end “ your doing your job, I’ll explain all of this to her later “
I love how this dude and his wife think that because they drive a Porsche people are just looking for a reason to sue them. Calm down gramps, it's a Porsche SUV not a Rolls Royce. I know people who live in basic apartments who drive Porsche SUVs.
Which is why they still live in a basic apt.

My ex-husband used to handle traffic. He was hit by a couple of people, he was spat on and had a beer bottle even thrown at him. When people, especially rich people, think their time is more valuable.
It absolutely is more valuable. If we're talking about doctors and engineers, yeah, their time is way more valuable to humanity than an influencer
@@baltimoreluke absolutely not, this guy was no "doctor or engineer" he was a rude bitter old man who couldnt handle waiting a few more minutes in traffic to get home. And just because someone is in a high paying profession does not mean they have more rights than anyone else.
@@baltimoreluke false. This is the bullshit “work your life away” mentality the US wants you to believe. Your job title doesn’t make you any more important than anyone else, I don’t care what you do.
@@baltimoreluke yikes. No. That's not even remotely true. Considering the value of those people are determined by the contract that they sign with a client.
That has literally no value to the world, none.
The people that ARE valuable, are people like the person directing traffic, making sure everyone drives safely and efficiently. A person working an ATC tower, a firefighter, or an EMT would also hold real world value. A doctor does very little to serve people, they get rare moments where they do and only for every few specific doctors.
Engineers serve no purpose or value in this world, they follow regulation and math. I should know, I have my masters in structural engineering. Engineers are easily replaced by pieces of paper printed out by a computer. Designers/architects are different, they have to understand the math and use new concepts to break ground. Which almost never happens.
Kid, reality is very different for you, I suggest you stay in school so that you can soon figure that out. Real value lies in people that can actually contribute to communities and society. Doctors and engineers might be two of the worst examples, lol.
Also, an influencer does have more value, it's why they often are so valuable in society, why companies pay them millions to make content, and why they can influence entire generations to change how retail works, and popularize products.
I don't believe these people are a net positive, but they absolutely have massive value to society, more so than any doctor or engineer on this planet ever has in history.
@@smurfdaddy420 Allegedly. Guy seemed like a good dude. I bet the construction workers were just trying to get a payout, he was unhurt and absolutely put himself in that situation. You're not supposed to be in traffic while flagging. So you know this guy put himself in front of the car, which is just stupid.
He ran up and assaulted himself on my car. 😐🙄
There! I'm in a hurry to get my viagra dammed..!!!
The moment the cop started reading him his rights the guy and girl sitting there already knew the story. Im sure he told them all about the black dude he ran over and what are those type of people even doing on his block. I swear Florida is the leader is racist karens and darens
People do this stuff all the time, no reason to roll your eyes... you are the ignorant one here.
Working in the business, that does happen. Many flaggers are hired day laborers and can be mentally unbalanced.
@@UnrulyRiderlol 😆 sure
The old man obviously did it! First his story was "lots of traffic very confusing" then it changed to "No traffic around" the old man is guilty.
Fire up ole sparky, if you would have watched the entire video you would have learned what happened...
If that old man was very confused by having to stop for a few minutes he really does have some screws loose.
I work IT and deal with a lot of rich old people. Most of them are two faced and will have no problem being scumbags to people they perceive under them but when some type of higher authority gets involved, they play the victim card exactly like this old dude.

That guy could easily afford an attorney. So the fact that he is over expalining the situation and trying to make himself look innocent is HUGE RED FLAG!
A red flag of what?
those 2 comments would make sense separately but not with the "So.."
He is an elderly Man that may have some memory issues, especially when he thinks we are in the year 1922....that should be the red flag for the Officer to know he may not recollect the events perfectly.

@@ColtPinky Hew may have a memory issue....
One minute no one was around and the next all his "buddies" were there, egging him on while assaulting his car
😂😂😂
The level of politeness and respect on the part of the civilians in this one is such a stark contrast to what is seen in other body cam footage.
He was hoping it was 1922 and the ag-bat law wouldn't have been on the books 😂
And the cop didn’t correct him. He probably doesn’t like Porsche drivers either.
@@jackc70 I don’t think he’s meant to. It’s just to make sure he’s in right state of mind to be arrested i guess maybe I‘m wrong tho
It was the young guys fault for pulling up infeont of the car
I believe the old man was. Serious when he said 1922. He kept a straight face.
@@Slick_Rick859 I mean imagine having to say 19 something for the majority of your life and then you have to get used to saying 20 something. I think he just mixed 1922 and 2022 as it was 2022 when his happened.
I thought he was trolling when he said 1922 but I don't think he was LOL
When you spend most of you life saying 19 whatever, that's what will come out under stress.
@@theflamingone8729 Yeah I considered that after he said it, he's been in the 1900s more than 2000s
Can happen to me too ! Normal
Or he thought they were asking what year he was born in
@@SacredLover21 he's pretty spry for such an old guy, a centenarian.
That lady is so right. All Porsche drivers should get immunity as soon as they sign papers at the dealership 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
"it's the craziest thing I ever heard" in reaction to being told he is being arrested for driving his car into someone ... the audacity of some people is truly out of this world
Just another reminder to not be aggressive on the road and even more so when you are in a work zone.
never answer questions, never say a word, let the cop investigate, keep your mouth shut
I was a flagger years ago, and one guy got really mad and reached into the glove compartment. I thought he was going for a gun and I was about to get shot. Met all sorts of interesting people on that job!
What did he pull out of his glove compartment......and how weird if you think about it, does people have that many gloves that they need a compartment in their car for them?
There must have been a reason at some point why they call it that, but I don't know, that was before my time. Oh the guy pulled out s paper to write down my license plste so he could file a complsint against me and have me put in jail for not letting him drive amongst all the haul trucks, big loaders, and D-9 bulldozers because he'd be "real careful", and " had to get going". Funny thing was, the car right there wasn't mine, and it would have been fuutile.
Only in the US.
Her reaction reminds me of my father. He was a hard-line supporter of law enforcement, until he was busted for DUI!😂
I've been saying this for a while now, elderly people shouldn't be driving. Dude said is was 1922, get him off the damn roads
@dereknoll1499 I am 70 years old, no longer drive. Uber is delightful. Been saying the elderly should not drive since my thirties. I love not driving.
And neither should they be president….look at dementia joey….still thinks he had tea with Queen Victoria.

In California, they call that a Tuesday.
Seems the "victim" has anger issues that he needs to address. All that yelling and cursing plus approaching the vehicle like a lunatic.
That’s because he has no criminal record. It was his first defense likely and he’s unlikely to reoffend.
Nobody was even injured dude lmfao
I lived in Florida for 11 years, definetely this guy tried to run over that guy. I used to live in a nice community like him but they all acted like him too, a lot of Karens and people that think are over the law because they have money.
