3:20 drug bust turns out to be a dude suffering from SICKLE-CELL ANEMIA having prescription bud.... Volusia County you couldn't find a better stop to showcase your fancy unmarked units?
This was a great portrayal of just because you may have a medical need, it still needs to be legally obtained, transported, and used. This includes: prescription use does not nean ‘not’ under the influence.
@@sherryc6228maybe you didn’t watch the video… they clearly state that they “followed this guy until he did something wrong” and that was said right after explaining to the camera that during training they memorize obscure laws to be able to basically pull over whoever they want whenever they want. Police are good and unmarked cars can be very useful, but this video made them look like complete tyrants who’s enemy is the general public.
@@sherryc6228 Not sure if this is sarcastic, but if not congratulations on the most mature response to a youtube comment I've ever seen. I get the marijuana laws, and if this guy was transporting in a technically illegal way, then he has no defense. My issue is with the initial stop, and the reasoning for it. In my opinion, police shouldn't be following civilians in an attempt to catch them committing minor traffic infractions. I think it is safe to say that everyone speeds from time-to-time. Everyone rolls through the occasional stop sign. I made my original comment because it seemed like these officers were blatantly following cars BEFORE they committed any infractions, in order to hopefully get something they could record for their PR team. I am very anti-criminal, and by extension pro-police to an extent. I am not at all one of those people who will condemn police in every circumstance. I believe that bringing attention to instances where police overstep boundaries actually helps the overall community improve.
Speeding increases the likelihood of an accident, it is not always a victimless crime and you don’t know when it might cause tragedy. As far as the medical cannabis part near the end- call and talk to your local/state representatives
@@ItsShatter A person shouldn't be treated like a criminal until they've created a victim. This is more about generating money through coercion. Private sector solutions to the inherent dangers of driving have been far more productive.
@@drumdad1242 By that logic, we should allow people to drive when they are highly intoxicated, texting, or exhibiting other forms of recklessness. So long as they haven't injured or killed anyone, yet, then it is okay. Does that seem reasonable?
@@ItsShatter I don't think it's a good idea to be careless and put others in danger but I think solutions for these types of social problems are far more likely to be found through the private sector solutions. Safer cars, education, self driving cars, etc.
@@drumdad1242 I just think a person should be treated like a criminal when they’ve committed a crime, not created a victim. Truly victimless crimes (e.g., possession/use of drugs) are one thing and I personally disagree with laws against them. However, when a crime, such as not obeying the speed limit, increases the likelihood to create victims, we ought not wait until victims are created to take action. Solutions from the private sector are great but they aren’t the whole picture, some people just don’t care until they are negatively affected by their own irresponsible actions.
I should point out that storing a firearm, loaded or otherwise, within a glove box is perfectly legal in Florida and you do NOT need a license to carry a firearm to do so, per F.S. 790.251 (short title, "Preservation and Protection of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Motor Vehicles Act of 2008"). Observing a firearm in a glove box during the course of a traffic stop not is not probable cause for arrest. It does not even rise to the level of reasonable suspicion. It was the knowledge of the drivers status as a convicted felon coupled with observation of a firearm visible in plain sight, which gave rise to the probable cause. That's a very important distinction, and people who lawfully carry in their vehicle shouldn't be made to question the lawfulness of their conduct because the sheriff misstated the facts.
All a revenue grab. Not a single study shows any societal benefits to unmarked LEO's. 1:38 Proof of the revenue grab. Explain how the "obscure" improves safety? Obsure tag? One bulb out on a multi bulb indicator? One tag light out while the other is operational? 1:44 Explain that son... Why can't they all be in marked vehicles? It is clearly not a resource problem. The one and only thing missing is the light bar on top. 1:58 Why are civilians playing military dress up?
In Florida you don't need a permit to have a gun in your glove box, but in all 50 states you can't be a felon in possession. If you are ever unsure about the legitimacy of an unmarked car that is trying to pull you over, slow down, acknowledge them, and proceed to a well lit safe place to stop. In some states their legislatures were so concerned about police impersonators that they prohibit unmarked cars from making traffic stops. Florida allows for stopping in a safe place.
There is not a single state in the US where unmarked cars are prohibited from making stops. This is an extremely common misconception due to the vague wording of the legislation. What they are prohibited from doing is being used primarily for traffic enforcement, like sitting on the road catching speeders. They can still make stops.
You are correct. You can definitely acknowledge them and call 911 for a marked unit. I would not pull over until a marked vehicle is present. You can also have a gun anywhere in your vehicle as long as it's in a compartment. A holster is a compartment. So under your seat or out of plain view in a holster is also legal without a CCW.
I would be fine with this if police officers would follow the traffic laws themselves. But we all know they don't. That goofy sheriff with the mustache got high on power
I’m all for unmarked police cars. As someone else mentioned, it would be much appreciated if officers also followed the traffic laws. Amazing the infractions I’ve witnessed and they were driving marked cop cars and not rushing off to a call either. C’mon, be better then that.
Kind of glad they are doing this, I drive a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack aka muscle car & just like to go over by Daytona & NSB on joy rides & there isn’t a time as my 65 year ole ass doesn’t get challenged by others to race, I just love to cruise & ya take your life in your hands on I-4, SR44 & like Chitwood said 415, glad you’re out there!
Horrible example of an unmarked unit, tinted windows,push bar, excessive antennas,and permanent tags is a marked unit to me. Now my state uses minivans,challengers,mustangs,and even a dodge viper with regular tags and no extras other than a radio and some basic lights... that is what a true unmarked car is.
LEO training is a joke, not to mention the minimum qualifications (19 years old and a GED). What the Sheriff is saying is BS. This is just another stream of revenue, arrests and tickets instead of educating the public when pulled over and deterrence by marked vehicles. I have one of my houses in Royal Palms. I'll give him a shout next time I see him riding around on his bike.
But it does make sense to use the unmarked cars. And of course it generates revenue. I would don't speed or do drugs. Maybe you wouldn't get pulled over so much. What the hell do the think he was telling puff daddy. I wouldn't have wasted my time with him. How hard is it to follow the law? Please answer. In my opinion.
CAN WE START CATCHING THOSE THAT BLATENTLY RUN RED LIGHTS. I SEE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY AND NOT JUST TRYING TO SQUEEZE THRU A YELLOW TOO LATE THEY JUST GO THRU RED LIGHTS AND NOT CARE AT ALL. I SEEN IT 2 TIMES YESTERDAY
I love these guys so much. They know there job very well. If they are behind you just pull over because they will get you. Guys God Bless and stay safe.
Traffic enforcement are about 30 to 45 per cent of the solution to the main problems in traffic and also can't prevent many deaths. Traffic enforcement equals tracking enforcement!
Don't worry, these unmarked units will be scaled back after they end up too many off-duty officers committing traffic violations

@@Thumbsdwn thank you for your appropriate reply. I saw that part, but, I was referring to the marijuana part. Either way, have a great day.

What I saw, was a whole lot of people being harassed for victimless crimes.

why don't they pull over the marked cars that speed?
No reason an unmarked car should be making stops. It's too dangerous to pull over for unmarked cars
But of course these Chicken Hawks have no idea.

If you're coming through Volusia County, think twice before speeding.

If ur getnting pulled over 3x a week, your doing something wrong ...
I think this kid needs to learn to drive legally so he is not being pulled over three times a week.
Our local PD has a unmarked dark blue 2022 Mustang
There's one in volusia county too I think but might be more purple. In new Smyrna beach
harassing people for victimless crimes in unmarked units isn’t the flex you think it is 🤷♂️
I would be fine with this if police officers would follow the traffic laws themselves. But we all know they don't. That goofy sheriff with the mustache got high on power
Lol dont do chitwood like that 😂
what about all these Daytona cops hitting their lights and speeding just to get through traffic lights then cutting them off 🤔
interesting comments really tackles a lot of issues with this. makes me wonder what happens when a unmarked car gets pulled over by a marked car
I see that truck ALL the time on the highway
SPEEDING IS OUT OF CONTROL IN FLORIDA.
POLICE WILL NOT ! ! ! ENFORCE ANY ! ! ! SPEED
LIMIT..
The Connecticut State Police entire fleet is unmarked, can you imagine if no VCSO cars had markings. Probably unlawful - in Fla.

Camouflage, about time someone thought of it.
Well how long can this unmarked patrol car follow us?
If they are tyrants then however long it takes for them to find something to pull you over
All day long. Its not illegal to follow a car.
So what he basically said is we have multiple officers out profiling minorities…😂
Its obviously an unmarked car just look into the "light spots" like the top of the windshield extra dark tint should make you start looking at it
Volusia County still butt hurt about a little weed

"Unmarked" cars
Speed enforcement is to everyone’s best interest! How it’s done, if it works let’s support it!
I love these guys so much. They know there job very well. If they are behind you just pull over because they will get you. Guys God Bless and stay safe.
hhahha its not a secret any more
I guess everyone forgot about a little thing called entrapment?
I'm a free human being let me defend myself!
Funny how the white kid didn’t get pulled out and searched
Use unmarked COPS to Get Dangerous HOMELESS OFF BEACHSIDE
