All that time and energy and manpower spent looking for a radar detector. What a load of shite wasting the citizens time on such trivialities. Damn government.
My brother and I went through Virginia many years ago (before everyone had cellphones) towing a truck I bought in PA. We had a blowout on the i-haul trailer and we’re on the side of the road, when a highway patrol officer pulled up. He talked to us for a few minutes. Noticed the radar detector and told us we weren’t supposed to have it. That was that. He took my brother to the next exit to call u-haul for a tire repair. We were there for almost 5 hours. That cop hung around, telling us stories. bullshitted with us even after he was off duty. My brother and he became friends and would often call each other. We live 3 states away. Coolest cop ever!!!
Just trying to do thier job. Most of them are good people, and they never know what they may have to deal with at every stop. I have gotten both tickets and breaks from the fine people who wear badges. They have a job to do, and nobody likes them until they need them.
@@morganottlii2390nah- it’s not like the old days - this new breed is terrified of supervision- stuck on stupid and terrified - can’t learn a thing with your head in the sand boy- you might want to check yourself before painting with a wide brush- sound like you’re about 18 yrs old
If they were really concerned with slowing traffic, instead of worrying about the detectors, make them legal and then periodically post a radar emitter on the interstate so when the signal was picked up people would slow down, but the whole point is generating revenue and not public safety.
@Nobody Else'll Say It If they really cared they would just require every car to have a speed limiter or governor, the way they require cars to have an OBD II or III system installed. That will never happen because they make far too much money from citations.
@@colemanelectric - It has NOTHING to do with safety! And everything to do with stealing from drivers. If speed was really a safety concern, the government would mandate speed limiters on ALL vehicles.
Former law enforcement and yeah, I never wasted one second looking for a radar detector. There were plenty of other things to do, like find actual threats to safety and life. 🙄
It's unbelievable they would waste money on radar detector detectors. But that's Virginia. They have so many state troopers it is hard to believe. I often wondered if they have like some kind of draft system where everyone in the state has to be a trooper for a period of time.
Bill1USMC, Thank you very much. It has been proven in court to be a corrupt law to start with because a detector (at least originally) operated in a public frequency range typically that you garage door opener operates within. I have family heritage in Virginia going back to the 1670s but don’t live there, and it has always chaffed my ass to have to turn off my detector when I was in state, because it simply makes you susceptible to being out of your speed in an area that you have never driven, and you can be doing 55 on a mountain road and come around a curve into a town that changes speeds so quickly that you have to brake to get back to the limit rather then just releasing the accelerator on a road that you have good visibility and distance with no pedestrian issues on. Anyway thanks for your service in both capacities! The old professor Live free or die! Death ☠️ to all tyrants, all tyrants foreign and domestic!!!!!! The truth will stand before God when the world falls…… No Shit……
I find it amusing that radar detectors are illegal. to the point they have to make a detector detector. Now someone from Virginia needs to invent the detector detector detector to detect the detector detectors so they can turn off their detector when it detects the detector detector. ;-)
The detector detector works based on how a radio receiver resonates, which generates (radiates) a spurious transmission a little above the frequency it is on. The radar detector is a radio receiver on the radar frequency and it radiates this spurious transmission, which is what the detector detector picks up. You could theoretically create a detector detector detector, but you can actually just build better shielding for your detector and defeat the detector detector by preventing your detector from radiating anything detectable by the detector detector. Not that that is confusing or anything haha
I find it amusing that all those radar things that the cops use and all of those radar detectors and detector detectors and so on are made by the same company.
Nice job bro. My buddy had a Pete. He mounted bilge pumps inside the frame and plumbed them to the tanks. We were at Boston Market running on fumes. Sitting next to a Conrail locomotive. We topped off that time, LoL 😂
Nothing wrong with monitoring the police. People have binoculars in their vehicles for the same reason. Who watches the watchers? They work off your dime.
Well they're trying to enforce the laws, so that's their job and all.. I know what you mean, though. Thing is they're not all 'assigned' to homicide units lol.. cops have a huge variety of duties. here in CT though, the CT state police have virtually all stopped doing speed traps and even traffic stops it seems.. on highways, of course.
Nah Virginia loves extortion.... trucker is lucky the trooper didn’t “smell weed” Virginia troopers seem to smell a lot of weed at the end of the month...
Any law against RADAR is illegal. RADAR is a radio signal. The constitution says we can receive any radio signal that is broadcast. Also one of the reasons they went to lasers for speed detection plus lasers are way more accurate.
Everyone is still up in arms over this video..... Again, both officers were very friendly and professional and I returned the same courtesy. Yea there are subtitles posted on the video that may indicate a radar detector, but I assure you, 3 weeks later(after this was posted)the truck was searched again and no illegal devices were found. If the truck was searched right now, now "switches" or "knobs" are installed on or in the truck. Yea I posted subtitles on a video that may or may not convey what or wasn't inside the truck. Had I posted "there's a dead body under the bunk" what would the comments been? I wasn't speeding or breaking any law the day I was pulled over. They did their investigation and I was sent on my way , with a clean bill. So all these Monday morning lawyers need to relax. It was a win in my book. I have a clean driving record and DAC. I don't run down families in a coke raged fury. This is just a simple video , shot with a go-pro that happened to catch a moment of my day. I voluntarily allowed the police to search my truck. I had nothing to "hide". I do enjoy reading the debates and seeing these very strong views of the police doing their job. Yea , 20 minutes of my life was wasted, so be it. I find it humorous that complete strangers can assess my character over a tongue in cheek video. Life is full of cat and mouse games. I won one, trust me, it's not always this easy. So everyone needs to relax and not get so bent over a video that is vague at best. So have fun defending me or degrading me, either way , I am sitting back laughing! To answer the FAQs Yes it's Dream Theater at the end I use a Go Pro on a suction cup mount No I'm not changing my "look" because you think I'm hideous No I'm not a Constitutional Scholar(neither is the POTUS) It's a 2000 Pete 379 C16 18sp 1.6 million on it Yes one day I'll put out another stupid video
Just watched the video from start to finish. I am usually pro law enforcment, but let's face it...2 VA state troopers spending 10 minutes (20 minutes of manpower time) searching for a radar detector? They each could have been doing something very productive - like writing tickets to people that were weaving on the roads because they were distracted by texting on cell phones. Or, my other favorite, folks that insist on driving a half car length off my back bumper at 50 MPH.
And then how the trucker outsmarted them again by showing on TH-cam exactly where they messed up and where his radar as hidden and….ohhhhh I ….ya….maybe not so outsmarted….
What probable cause did they have to search your vehicle... they got a hit, saw no visual indication that you have a radar detector inside your cab, they scanned again and no hits, so the search should have stopped there!
Well... His radar detector triggered a v2 detector... Any device that uses v2 bands are illegal there...so there's that... And it's a commercial vehicle.... The probable cause is right there in the law
@@johnny265 it’s illegal across the country to have them in a commercial truck, but if you got it in a good spot where they can’t see it you’ll be fine unless you go to Virginia where they have “radar detector detectors”
It is only illegal in big trucks that's in all 48 because truck drivers use them to speed .I know your laughing but that is what federal dot says when ask them why are they in cars so they can check there speed
I would have said I must be in that car beside me. Cop says I didn't see one beside you. Well officer I'm 60 long he was 12foot long easy to see why you didn't see him
These traffic cops pay for themselves unfortunately. They issue enough citations to cover their salary plus some. If everyone who got a ticket regardless of guilt would fight it in court the municipality would lose money on tickets and only issue them in situations where the violation is serious.
That shit was gold driver. Keep up the good work and keep it rolling. Yall parking lot boys are a unique breed out here trucking. Some of the most responsible drivers I've met out here. Keep the rubber side down, come on!
The amount of time spent and the dangers created by these types of stops just befuddle me. I'm grateful they are out there, but this kind of seek & destroy just isn't right.
The reason for the detector is that the speed limits are set artificially too low so they can become revenue generating devices for the state, police etc. Set the limits properly and the public does not have to resort to having detectors
Speed limits set too low in who's opinion??? The one who thinks he should be allowed to drive as fast as the vehicle can go, or the old couple who thinks nobody should be allowed to drive faster than the normal Summer breeze can blow a leaf??? Remember... You can't take a "30 mph" curve too fast... I'll leave it up to YOU to decide if I mean that if you take the curve much faster than 30 mph you'll probably crash, or if I mean that even though DOT says the maximum speed in the curve is 30 mph, you can actually safely make the curve traveling at up to 80+ mph. If you enter the curve faster than posted and crash... I'll be happy to nominate you for a "Darwin Awards Recipient."
rcmodelr. Speed limits are seldem right outside of the city. Theres a huge number of factors that go into save speed. Like weather type of car condition of car healty and age of driver experience of driver and so on. Who is to say I should go to jail because I broke a limit a group of elitest made. That turn may be only 25 mph in the rain in a big rig or it could be 80 on a good day is a sports car
wchadb817 "Speed limits are seldom right outside of the city." According to whom? You? It's YOUR call as to what the proper speed on a public roadway should be? Isn't that just you being elitist? Speed limits are ALWAYS exceeded. If they say it's 20MPH, people drive 30MPH. If they raised it to 100MPH people would drive 110-120MPH. Who are you to determine what safe speeds are, without ANY driver data to extrapolate and analyze to determine the most effective;limit to post?
ozmedia Im saying if I work a 12hour shift drive home on the same road I drove for years to and from work and do 75 in a 55 at 3am I should go to jail? That's crazy and im not trying to set a speed so no that's not me being an elist
wchadb817 If you drive 75 in a 55 zone are you not breaking the law? Pretty black and white there I think. I wouldn't consider it a jailable offense, though not sure what your state laws are regarding repeating such offenses, that's entirely irrelevant though. What I see is that you feel that, at certain times, you should be free to speed at 20 MPH over the posted limit because you are tired after a long work day, are just trying to go home and traffic is minimal. More so, you should be able to use a prohibited device (as the OP did in this video) in an attempt to stop yourself from being caught speeding. Acknowledging the fault in your actions by trying to protect yourself from the consequences. This particular stop obviously wasn't anytime near 3AM but I suppose you are no longer talking about the video that was posted, despite that being the subject of my previous comments. To summarize: You are trying to justify, using a prohibited device to protect yourself from fines while breaking traffic laws? People do this all the time, does that make it clever though? People shoplift all the time and get away with it too. That doesn't make it clever or correct in any way, shape or form though.
Thank God that we have Po-Po that concentrate on the really,really serious crime like this and don't tie themselves up wasting their time on such trivial victimless crimes like rape, murder, robbery, burglary, home invasion etc. True blue knights of justice.
This is highway patrol. They don't deal with such matters. When such matters are called in, they are given top priority to police of that jurisdiction. These police enforce traffic laws because believe it or not, they are designed for safety. Someone going 10-15 over may not seem like a big deal but depending on the vehicle 10-15 over at highway speeds means much more damage can happen much faster if an accident were to occur which is why speed limits are enforced.
the truckers don't really drive fast man I never seen a trucker pass me on the hwy they use the radars so they can go faster then 55mph but not stupid fast they always leave a lot of room in front of them and they normally only go over the speed limit when the roads are nice and open with traffic almost none existent.
dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother recently xD
Virginia s**** there ignorant there and they have no decent truck parking. One state in my opinion that needs less delivery until they start helping drivers not treating them like trash.
Not when that job is to harass Society and fine Society/ rob them on the side of the hwy! Every time a cop pulls me over I'll give him my license and registration and then I shut the fuck up he gets no more help from me! None of his business where I'm going or where I'm coming from and if I'm in my 18-wheeler he's looking at my logs I don't help him read my logs!
Yes they can, so long as there is one of the circumstances that allow for warrantless searches. Stop spreading false information. You are the reason people get their asses in more trouble than they have to with the police.
eishiba10 Think again every state has different laws to "Road Usage" and commercial vehicles fall under a different set of those laws, refusal to allow search of a vehicle on "Public" roads or "Federal" roads can result in vehicle being seized and towed at your expense till warrant can be issued . The warrant type your confusing is home and or personal business structures, hence "Private Property", Big difference but hey give it a shot sometime and tell us all how it worked out for you . My Reference Tow Jocky / Repo'er in Commonwealth of VA some 15 years ago, trust me the laws have only gotten tighter in VA .
I’ve seen this video before. Every time it shows up in my suggested I watch it to get a good laugh. I’ve been driving over 40 years. It’s always a good day when you get something bye the cops. A win for the good guys.
Yep, thats what ego does to a person. All a cop wants is a win. The adrenalin of control. Purely ego driven. People might overlook that ego isn't just a word, an attitude. It's a real damn thing that is highly destructive..Ego has caused wars, brought down empires and kindoms. All the police training in the world is essentially useless when ego comes into play. The types that mostly become cops have an ego to begin with. Ego is an exact definition that encumbers all of the following, narcissisism, conceit, arrogance, anger issues, ,often bipolar, various multiple personality type disorders,depression independent of bipolar, which highly contributes to suicidal tendencies of cops. Politicians are trying to make it impossible for gun ownership ,and yet these are the types holding guns. And that's said in all seriousness. What does it take for a cop to finally lose their ego,, they kneel on someone's neck for 9 minutes already handcuffed, kill that person and go to prison for life. Now where's your ego.
20 years ago, I was driving back from Disney world to Pennsylvania. Right as I got through the top of North Carolina around 1 AM, it was a torrential rain. I was in the right lane doing 45 miles an hour with my Flashers on. I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 miles into Virginia, when a state trooper lit me up. I had a radar detector on my windshield with a stay awake feature. Every 60 seconds it would make a loud alert and I had to push a button to silence it. He walks up to my driver's side glass and tells me to roll the window down. I said I don't think So. 2" is enough. I'm not letting 6 gallons of rainwater come in my driver's window. Why did you stop me. He said "my VG2 has detected a radar detector". I said "I know I wasn't speeding, because my cruise control is set to 45 because I can barely see. He said "I know I didn't Have you for speeding and I appreciate the safe driving. Didn't you see the sign at the border that said radar detectors are illegal? I said "are you freaking kidding me I'm doing the best I can to see 20' in front of me and you want to know if I'm reading signs". He said I understand. give me your license and registration and hand me the detector because I need the serial number. So I did my very best to go as slow as possible looking for my registration and my wallet. If I'm being inconvenienced, hes taking a bath.. He handed me the ticket and I said "you wonder why people hate you?"
When I drove a truck (semi) and was "asked" if they could search the truck I said no not without a warrant. When the cop said we don't need a warrant I (I can recite every right in the BOR verbatim) calmly informed him that the 4th amendment states otherwise and proceeded to quote it to him. He got into his patrol car and left w/o saying anything else. Hey, I have family who're cops and good friends who're cops, but if I'm to live under the law and they take an oath to the constitution, than I'm gonna adhere to and make them adhere as well.
I DID BASICALLY THE SAME-POSSESSION OF A RADIO SIGNAL RECEIVING DEVICE (RADAR DETECTOR)IS PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION-THE CAN MAKE YOU TURN IT OFF OR CITE YOU FOR USE-WHICH I WOULD FIGHT IN COURT, BUT, THEY CANNOT CONFISCATE IT !! THE TWO JACKA**ES WOULD BETTER SPEND THEIR TIME PROTECTING CITIZENS AND HIGHWAYS THAN THIS B.S. !!
@Chew Chew Train I've been there too...too many times now. Typically the younger non-experienced cops and female cops...both seemingly out to make a point.
Dave Pragel, You dont need a warrant if you have probable cause. You do need a warrant if you can’t get probable cause. Reasonable suspicion is what you were referring to. It all depends upon what is included. An officer can stop and detain you under probable cause if he sees you breaking the law (speeding). However, that probably cause does not extend to searching your vehicle. If, during the stop, he smells marijuana he now has a reasonable suspicion you have a controlled substance but he can only search if you give him permission. Next step is the drug dog. If the dog hits on your car it is ruled probable cause and he can search without warrant.
@@markk917 Oh please you saint. I'm sure that you never speed and obey all the traffic laws. Do some research b4 you speak. The majority of accidents that tractor trailers are involved in are the fault of passenger vehicles cutting trucks off, slamming on breaks in front on them etc. Not due to trucks speeding. You want some scientific studies done by various state and federal DOT I can post the links as I'm sure you can't be bothered to look them up yourself or even read them anyway. Much easier to throw a blanket statement out there saying trucks that speed kill family's.
Mark M-K How do you know he speeds. You’re making assumptions . I have a radar detector and I don’t drive like a crazed maniac. I find it to be insurance.
@@markk917 Stop with the what ifs.Have you ever speeded? All of us have and most accidents are from distracted driving and just straight up bad drivers on cell phones and drunk drivers.
I don't see what's wrong with having a radar detector. On the other hand, I have been all over the United States and never felt the need for one. A CB Radio, yes. Radar detector, no.
NORMAN OTT even if 100 percent of the drivers passing by were rapist , murderers , and thief’s hypothetically speaking the cops wouldn’t know it and you can’t pull someone over unless you have something to go on
You cant stop people for no reason. Well that's how it's meant to be. Even if a rapist was driving past, and they pulled them for something like being on a phone etc.. They wouldn't say, "oh btw im a rapist!" The driver would still be free to go on his way raping or murdering. They had probably cause on the truck, so they done what they are meant to. We may not like, or even agree with what they are doing, but non the less they was doing nothing wrong in this video. Unlike in 1000s of other yt videos
Meanwhile there have been 4 break-ins, 1 grand theft auto, a bank robbery, numerous domestic violence cases, and probably a whole lot else. Thanks officers! What a great way to spend your time and our money.
@@ArtemkaPannat while I agree with you, expecting every citizen to behave rationally and appropriately all the time would be an act of futility. We should however be able to expect our police officers to respond with some thought put in to what acts deserve their attention and what do not. Being a police officer is a very hard job. Both my grandfathers were cops. I have nothing but respect for them. I think they need to be paid more and trained much better.
As a retired OTR Driver, I have to admit that this is of of the best big truck vids I have seen in a long time. The captions where hilarious!!! Thanks, I needed a good laugh today. :D
He wasn't speeding, and truck driving IS a profession. More truck drivers are killed every year than in any profession out there. A store clerk is next on the list.
@ If people weren't pulled over for driving the speed of traffic or slightly over then there'd be no need for a radar detector. Only way to prevent a speeding ticket is to drive slightly under the speed of traffic. And because of that traffic is increased significantly not only because of the average speed on the highway but also because of the lack of passing done in passing lanes in fear of getting a speeding ticket. In that situation speeding to pass quickly and move back to the right lane would prevent more accidents than it causes. But again, many people don't do that in fear of getting a speeding ticket.
I grew up and worked in Va for many years. I believe it is one of only two states where Radar Detectors are illegal and subject to seizure. I knew and worked with a Pennsylvania man who rented a room Monday-Friday and worked as a Mechanic in Loudoun County. A Trooper pulled him over and demanded his Radar Detector. The man said unless you draw that pistol, I'm not giving it to you. The Trooper drew down on him and the man complied. After receiving his ticket, the man drove directly to the local Magistrate's Office and he swore out a Warrant against the Trooper for Armed Robbery. The judge conceded but told him don't ever let me see your face again. This was the only account I ever heard of a person receiving their property back after a State Police seizure. The DMV has a ridiculous point system too and it's a trap, a revolving door that is very difficult to get out of because it is a HUGE source of income for the Commonwealth.
that is very true, don't speed. but that is also so boring lol. luckily i have a slow car now. i see all these fast cars and just feel bad that its like torture for them. police are all over them real quick. i was in the blue ridge mountains of NC and some kid in an orange M3 BMW went by faster than me. wasn't going that fast but he might as well be driving a huge disco ball. i can only imagine how many tickets he got with that car.@Duke Brooks (WGMD)
@Duke Brooks (WGMD) They are not illegal in Connecticut; that law was repealed in 1992. Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia, DC, on all military installations, and in all commercial vehicles over 10000 lbs. Radar jammers are illegal in all states per federal law. Laser jammers are illegal in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and DC.
You DO know that this story is not apocryphal (in any way) -- it is just another 'good guy (truck driver) v bad guy (police officer enforcing the law -- a law that many do not care for) story and is total 'horse-hockey', RIGHT? Find something that people feel strongly about or in a 'containing' site (etc.) and put it here. You may not have 'invented' this but you are just repeating and supporting the meme -- this meme, that is totally bogus. It's like the story about (name a highly sought after ball player here) where a woman is in an autograph line and says: 'My son would just DIE to have your autograph, MR. XXXX ('Adding a name' to increase authenticity and the chance that someone is going to 'buy it')!' To wit, Mr. XXXX retorts: 'Well, may he rest in piece!!!' Same principle -- one gets to see the bad guys get 'owned'. There isn't a State Trooper alive that would draw their firearm just because they were given an 'or else' ultimatum for something like this. The local FOP wouldn't even be able to save their jobs if they did that. At the worst, they would arrest the law-breaking' driver -- most definitely they would NOT draw their service weapon. If you think that they would, well that's how one can explain how you bought into that one.
This reminds me so much of the Virginia I grew up in. Gestapo like treatment all for a radar detector in the only state that bans them. A trooper and sargent for backup that totally waste their time for the states backward policies. I now live in North Carolina and feel like I'm going to a foreign country when I go home on visits.
Radar detectors have been banned from commercial vehicles for some time.. a few still run them but the tickets cost as much if not sometimes more than the speeding... besides who wants to waste time with harassment?
@@virginiamyers9492 I fully understand but it's ok in all other states. I lived in Virginia for 62 years and now live in North Carolina. Life is much different here and many more freedoms. I haven't had a radar detector in at least 30 years but I can run one is all states but VA. There is no harrassment except VA. Thanks
WA Boom : I was born & raised in Southwest Virginia but moved to Ohio 5 years ago. Virginia & their Commonwealth State rules and regulations isn't nothing but a way to fuck the people out of hard earned money . I'm just going to put it out there , I'm from Smyth County Virginia. That is one of the worst places for cops looking for something to charge you with & take your money or worse jail time. All the factorys with good paying jobs are gone & the building leveled.
in my truck i had a JAMMER,,their radar detector would NOT pick me up,,it was under my front bumper,next to my right turn signal,,,never,,never touch your brake pedal,,your stop lights will show big red light,then your caught,
@ when your finished prying your lips off that boot you might do a little research and you will realize most accidents are caused by people in the cars. Those professionals deliver everything you wear, eat,drive, everything in your home,etc.
With all due respect, you shouldn't have given specifics on your hiding spot for your detector. You gave the enemy valuable info. Other truckers won't be as lucky as you in the future.
@@shanengahere6592 They make plenty of detectors that are undetectable. Uniden R3's and R4's are the 2 that I have. Pay the extra money.. and this will never happen👍🇺🇸🍻
I love going into a rant telling officers of all the corruption in government I've come across. Holds them up for ages. They get ants in their pants wanting to leave!
@@rascallyrabbit8548 you mean the roads I paid for by taxes. I think your under the misapprehension that the government paid for the roads from money they made. They stole the money under the threat of force, if you don't give us money we lock you up or shoot you. I can't believe ppl r so stupid to make such a comment.
What's wrong with radar detectors anyways? It makes people go back to speed limit when they pick up radars. Guess they don't want you sniffing out radars so you'll keep going over the speed limit so then cops can get you for money. All about the money, and donuts.
the idea is that you stay at or below the limit even without a detector... I've seen many a car and truck drive up to a radar trap doing 20-30 over the limit, then hit the brakes hard a few meters before they'd get zapped, never mind what's coming up behind them. THAT causes accidents and that's why they're outlawed in many places.
jwenting I agree with you! My husband had bought me one, and after that thing was in there for about four days, I took it out. THE ONLY reason my husband said he got it was because, "it looked cool in the car." WTH? That constant beeping is very nerve wrenching and I could see how it would cause people to brake, in which case DOES cause accidents to happen. If I DO get pulled over for speeding, IT'S BECAUSE I WAS SPEEDING, and I'll take the ticket ANY DAY over an accident. But I HATE radar detectors, and I'm not a cop, I just don't like the constant beeping, and I could care less if it "looks cool"! I'm not TRYING to look cool, which is what I told my husband as I ejected that thing from my car. It's not enough I have to listen to the kids squabbling amongst each other in the back seat, and then HE THOUGHT I was gonna listen to that constant beeping? hahaha.... UH, NO! I just try to go the speed limit or at least stay within 5 mph of it, and well, IF I do get caught, then write me a ticket.
Robin Renee Bednarczyk indeed. I used to speed all the time, almost never driving less than 10-15kmh over the limit and usually closer to 30 (which is the maximum here beyond which you get a court appearance). About 5-6 years ago I decided to stop doing that, drive at or around the limit at all times. Total extra travel time per day? A few minutes at most. And a LOT less stress along the way. Have had 1 speeding ticket since, buggers placed a camera against the back of a sign indicating a temporary reduction in the speed limit and I let off the gas a few seconds too late. Went about 1kmh faster than the cutoff below which they don't ticket for speeding (compensation for imperfections in equipment). Never did get many tickets in the first place as I know pretty much every fixed camera and was constantly, paranoid almost, scanning the side of the road for anything suspicious and hitting the brakes seeing something, anything at all, out of place, but wouldn't you be rather watching traffic than look out for new "bushes", "dumpsters", "broken down cars" parked off the hard shoulder? Not worth it, and with the ever increasing number of laser guns radar detectors are (where still legal) ever more ineffective anyway. And it's so satisfactory to see the nerd rage build in the faces of people tailgating you in BMWs and Mercs because you're not zooming along at 150kmh but rather sticking to the 120kmh limit :)
They make it next to impossible for cops to give speeding tickets to people who own them so a lot of states have banned them. It fucks with PD revenue stream therefore its illegal.
Godspeed - its mostly for public safety.There are Speed Limit signs posted every mile.Why go faster?When you signed your drivers licence you agreed to obey The Laws.Driving is a priviledge and you forfeited your Rights to get a Privileged licence.I cant see how you are so ignorant of the Laws you signed your name to an agreed to follow.
Gilbert B driving is not a privilege....Thompson v.Smith, 154 SE 579, 11 American Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law, section 329, page 1135 “The right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, in the ordinary course of life and business, is a common right which he has under the right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety. It includes the right, in so doing, to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day, and under the existing modes of travel, includes the right to drive a horse drawn carriage or wagon thereon or to operate an automobile thereon, for the usual and ordinary purpose of life and business.” - Thompson vs. Smith, supra.; Teche Lines vs. Danforth, Miss., 12 S.2d 784 “… the right of the citizen to drive on a public street with freedom from police interference… is a fundamental constitutional right” -White, 97 Cal.App.3d.141, 158 Cal.Rptr. 562, 566-67 (1979) “citizens have a right to drive upon the public streets of the District of Columbia or any other city absent a constitutionally sound reason for limiting their access.” Caneisha Mills v. D.C. 2009 “The use of the automobile as a necessary adjunct to the earning of a livelihood in modern life requires us in the interest of realism to conclude that the RIGHT to use an automobile on the public highways partakes of the nature of a liberty within the meaning of the Constitutional guarantees. . .” Berberian v. Lussier (1958) 139 A2d 869, 872, See also: Schecter v. Killingsworth, 380 P.2d 136, 140; 93 Ariz. 273 (1963). “The right to operate a motor vehicle [an automobile] upon the public streets and highways is not a mere privilege. It is a right of liberty, the enjoyment of which is protected by the guarantees of the federal and state constitutions.” Do you need more court case precedence?
I never had one never needed one. Had a company rig with a governor on it. I did learn something here though. I didn't realize they pulled trucks over because they could detect a device from their cars. I still think it's stupid for a trooper to tie up traffic on the shoulder of the highway putting himself and the trucker in harm's way and causing all the other traffic to have to cram into the left lane. If I made the rules the shoulder would be a breakdown lane with rare exceptions like a fleeing criminal or getting a wreckless driver off the road. It shouldn't be used to issue routine traffic citations or doing dot inspections which I had done to me on the shoulder. That's really irresponsible by law enforcement.
There was probably someone who actually needed to be stopped for reckless driving or who needed help while they were spending all that time looking for a radar detector.
Exactly! They actually put themselves in danger on the side of the road by parking their patrol cars in front of the truck. Nobody coming up behind them can see those cars or lights. They just figure a big truck on the side of the road and don't move over. The one officer thinks he is so cool he is practically out in the right lane as traffic shoots past him. I guess they feel invincible.
@@hhrey1892 the fact that the police invested in equipment to detect another person's radar detector says to me that road safety is not on their agenda, period. they're there to make money and fill a quota set by their boss
I spoke about this video with a high schooler and they asked, "How can a fire detector be legal but a radar detector detector isn't?" That's the future folks.
I am a truck driver too, and I have been harrassed and bullied by local DOT enforcement officers so many times that I am afraid to even take my truck on the road anymore. The sad part is that all of my company's trucks have electronic logs and a "driver improvement monitor" that monitors how I drive, how quickly I accelerate or decelerate, how fast I take turns (by a G meter), and it also has a camera that monitors my lane centering and goes off if I come close to a lane or get within 2 car lengths of another vehicle. To an extent, it can be a good thing because it makes you better as a driver, but it is also alarming because when they malfunction, they can also take your career to the shitter with them. Technology has gone way too far and the companies are following suit. They trust a malfunctioning computer system over the driver. Gone are the days when we could use 2 or even 3 log books. Any way that state legislators can shaft you, best believe they will.
I've been retired now for 12 years, but I watch these videos and shake my head at such baloney …. and they wonder why there is a driver shortage … bunch of dumbasses. Even your own company will shaft you, on top of all the BS we put up with out on the road. So glad I survived and I'm done.
AT&T has that GPS junk “for safety” and the first thing they did in our area was to suspend someone for going home on his lunch hour (on HIS TIME) to use the restroom. When his time was over-run by his dispatch, he notified his supervisor, but his supervisor conveniently “forgot” that tidbit of info. The Union won the grievance back.
This has been the greatest video by far, I've never laughed so hard watching these two troopers scratch their heads and scramble around looking for something you're covering with your butt. ROTFLMAO, Great one Mr, trucker!!!!!!!! Great-Grandma - Gwendolene
I've been a commercial driver for 31 years they never cease to amaze me you would think they would make them go to school or something stupid is as stupid does
Completely unconstitutional search. The piggy never once asked to search and the driver of the rig never gave him consent and what the fuck was porky looking in the duffle bag for ? Never give consent to searches. Not ever.
Dog regulations prohibit the refusal of the search you can own a truck and drive it around and refuse searches but you cannot drive professionally and get a deal t number without following those regulations it's part of the job to keep us in the public safe you have an option to not work as a trucker if you care more about your 4th Amendment right that's just the way it is and I'm glad
I don’t necessarily agree with the illegality of detectors, but what they really do is encourage you to slow down only when being observed, essentially admitting that you will be speeding when not being monitored.
In a sense, yes. But the point of owning a radar detector is to go as fast you please when no radars are around. I personally have 3. But I don't use them for speeding. I use them to detect cops. I have an anxiety disorder where if I'm near a cop, I start panicking. Despite doing anything wrong. So for me, I have to avoid cops or troopers if I want to drive safely on the road. You don't want to be driving and suddenly get a panic attack.
Car haulers are a rare breed. Ever try driving a car on to a truck like his in reverse? There is a thousand ways you can damage a vehicle when loading it. These guys are not your typical truck drivers. I have much respect for these guys its just sad that the feds are always taxing them. But atleast you guys get a brake on fuel prices going down due to Russia and the BRICS Nations removing the criminal speculators. Enjoy!
Yes we can. But we are all stupid and scared. And for no good reason. These people are cowards. The firearm on their side is where they carry there balls!
Reminds me when I use to have free cable years ago. I put the filter in my television so it could not be seen. The cable guy spent an hour with his little meter looking around but never found it hahahaha.
@@VictorPoulin It would be pretty easy honestly. Go to the tap and disconnect the line. Lmao. Chances are you're creating noise on the network and that's easy to find. Disconnect the whole thing until a service appointment is made to find where the noise is coming from - disconnect each line until the noise is gone.
@@VictorPoulin Hell no! Back then, they used filters to limit what one person could watch! As long as you were connected to the tap, you were golden! I don't think the FCC was as hard on cable companies either, lol.
Because it wasn’t already a difficult/dangerous enough job. These so called law enforcement officers are making it even more dangerous and costing this driver time and money…
RADAR detectors cannot be made illegal, and the Commonwealth prosecutor will "nolle pros" ( not prosecute ) an appeal of a first-level court conviction because they don't want to risk an appeal going to the federal courts who would invalidate Virginia's bogus un-Constitutional law. Also, cops don't know how to write proper code for RADAR detectors, so you can review the law code and perhaps convince a judge that the ticket is meaninglessly and illegally vague and inappropriate, not bearing witness to anything specifically against code. Regardless, this is the US, folks, where radios and radio receivers are Constitutionally protected free speech and cannot be made illegal. .
. Thanks, do you have a reference to a specific legal challenge at SCOTUS to Virginia / DC RADAR prohibitions, [ @@@taplinger ] -- Google searches are all over the place and I can't find a FREE SPEECH case versus Virginia / DC prohibitions against RADAR detectors. I found one that seemed to pivot on whether or not the police had evidence of a power source for an electronic device, of all berserker things to argue -- they guy wanted out of a ticket, but was not challenging the law altogether. I'm wondering if only "get me out of this ticket" arguments have been brought to SCOTUS / SCOVA so far, but "declare this law unconstitutional" have not been brought to SCOTUS / SCOVA yet, on any grounds. Something is behind my experience of Commonwealth Attorney's "nolle pros" any RADAR detector conviction appeals. ( a ) They are happy with the revenue at the first level courts, don't want to waste time at second level courts because it's not worth it to them money wise, or ( b ) they do not want to risk an appeal moving up to declaring the law unconstitutional for any reason ( but in my analysis, on free speech grounds ). Thanks for exploring this with me. __________ PS -- I proudly display my RADAR detector in Virginia and DC, and have explained to cops that I use it to test their veracity, for example, suppose their RADAR gun fails while they are on duty ... do they go back and get another RADAR gun, or do they "fake it" and write tickets anyway? By having a RADAR detector, I can test and witness and testify that their RADAR gun did not ( or did ) emit any RADAR. The cops actually paused and had nothing to say on that one ( too close to home ? ) ... and eventually backed off arguing, and left it at "tell it to a judge". A friend just responds, when told by cops that RADAR detectors are illegal in Virginia, "... yeah, and so is eating your wife ..." ... ( I am in awe of folks who can get away with shit-talking to armed police ! ) .
@@peterblaise Well maybe memory doesn't serve me. I remember years ago that VA law was challenged all the way to SCOTUS but I too cannot find a reference. Maybe I remember it was challenged to lower federal court and failed. What I see now is no person or group has the resources to bring it to SCOTUS. Too bad. It is unconstitutional on its face. VA government is full of self-righteous self-serving rich white Christian males who are still living in the 19th century. They almost got through a law that said for a woman to obtain an abortion she had to get a big probe inserted in her vagina that would show her a sonogram of the fetus.

That was hilarious! Wasting all that time on a trucker who has a radar detector but can't find it. Goes through the trucker's personal stuff - looking for a detector in your duffel bag? I've lost respect for LEO's.
If I had my guess, the fine for a detector in a truck is probably very sizable. That is what America is now. DOLLARS. Does not matter if it's pulling trucks over, the NRA, or illegal immigration. It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Standards have been minimized, profit has become everything. Kinda sad really.
*@Kevin Nicoll - Profit has ALWAYS been everything in the U.S. Kevin. Jeez the country was BUILT on profit you sad sack. And what have the NRA and illegal immigrants got to do with any of this? As I've educated other halfwits about before, regardless of whether you personally, happen to agree or disagree with certain laws, a law is a law period. And if you, I, or anyone else elects to break any of those laws, expect to be charged, fined, or otherwise suitably punished for doing so.* *Incidentally, whilst radar detectors are generally LEGAL across the US (except on military bases and for commercial drivers), radar JAMMERS are illegal for anyone to use under federal law. The use of a radar jammers is deemed so serious that it could lead to a felony charge, a hefty fine, and even jail time in the State in which such a device is used. Use of a jammer is deemed as an attempt to evade arrest. Safe driving!*

I love it, they have radars to check speed, and financially extort you, but it's illegal for a citizen to protect themselves from road pirates with radar detector.
Relentless cop. Can't find it so keeps on searching, detaining and I'll be damned if he ain't giving up. This is what I do not like about Authoritative cops. They think they have the right to harass, under the guise of probable cause, anyone they want to harass for any reason.
Except he had a radar detector. It went off and the officer was doing his job. When a semi is going 80 mph and because he knows there aren't any police around and they slam into your son or daughter how will you feel about what they do then?
@@dennisw47150 have you ever driven on the Autobahns? No speed limits and they are the safest highway network in the industrialized world. So tell me again how going 80mph isn't safe?
I am 60 years old been a professional driver since the age of 21 and before. Zero speeding tickets zero tickets of any kind. No radar detector needed. Just seems like a waist of time to go through not to get a ticket. When just good driving skill is all it takes.
All that time and energy and manpower spent looking for a radar detector. What a load of shite wasting the citizens time on such trivialities. Damn government.
My thoughts exactly !!!!

Mark H ...I call va..The communist...wealth..of Virginia
My brother and I went through Virginia many years ago (before everyone had cellphones) towing a truck I bought in PA. We had a blowout on the i-haul trailer and we’re on the side of the road, when a highway patrol officer pulled up. He talked to us for a few minutes. Noticed the radar detector and told us we weren’t supposed to have it. That was that. He took my brother to the next exit to call u-haul for a tire repair. We were there for almost 5 hours. That cop hung around, telling us stories. bullshitted with us even after he was off duty. My brother and he became friends and would often call each other. We live 3 states away. Coolest cop ever!!!
They try to act all friendly while trying to stick a knife in you.
Piss on both of them. Tell them to go find a Mustard seed

It's so frustrating how willing they are to waste the time and money of the people they're supposed to be protecting and serving.
Milking us for nickels and dimes
Like that trucker has no place to go,
All they are is revenue collectors for the state. If a radar detector is illegal, then their radar should be also.
@@Smp88 - nickels and dimes? What century are you living in?
Protect? They are revenue agents.
If they were really concerned with slowing traffic, instead of worrying about the detectors, make them legal and then periodically post a radar emitter on the interstate so when the signal was picked up people would slow down, but the whole point is generating revenue and not public safety.
@Nobody Else'll Say It If they really cared they would just require every car to have a speed limiter or governor, the way they require cars to have an OBD II or III system installed. That will never happen because they make far too much money from citations.
Your suggestion is so brilliantly logical.
@@NYyankeeboi if they really cared they would just outlaw driving and make everyone stay home, much safer 🤦
@@colemanelectric - It has NOTHING to do with safety! And everything to do with stealing from drivers. If speed was really a safety concern, the government would mandate speed limiters on ALL vehicles.
Bingo!
Former law enforcement and yeah, I never wasted one second looking for a radar detector. There were plenty of other things to do, like find actual threats to safety and life. 🙄
It makes ZERO SENSE, Radar detectors look for radio frequencies, period. Yet that is illegal in only a few states which is bull shit
I wish all popo was like u ma men .... its a same they try to get trucker for even chicken shit like that .
It's unbelievable they would waste money on radar detector detectors. But that's Virginia. They have so many state troopers it is hard to believe. I often wondered if they have like some kind of draft system where everyone in the state has to be a trooper for a period of time.
@@michaelwaninger3155 it's a fucking joke and I live in Virginia.
Bill1USMC,
Thank you very much. It has been proven in court to be a corrupt law to start with because a detector (at least originally) operated in a public frequency range typically that you garage door opener operates within. I have family heritage in Virginia going back to the 1670s but don’t live there, and it has always chaffed my ass to have to turn off my detector when I was in state, because it simply makes you susceptible to being out of your speed in an area that you have never driven, and you can be doing 55 on a mountain road and come around a curve into a town that changes speeds so quickly that you have to brake to get back to the limit rather then just releasing the accelerator on a road that you have good visibility and distance with no pedestrian issues on.
Anyway thanks for your service in both capacities!

Death ☠️ to all tyrants, all tyrants foreign and domestic!!!!!!
The truth will stand before God when the world falls……
No Shit……
I find it amusing that radar detectors are illegal. to the point they have to make a detector detector. Now someone from Virginia needs to invent the detector detector detector to detect the detector detectors so they can turn off their detector when it detects the detector detector. ;-)
The detector detector works based on how a radio receiver resonates, which generates (radiates) a spurious transmission a little above the frequency it is on. The radar detector is a radio receiver on the radar frequency and it radiates this spurious transmission, which is what the detector detector picks up. You could theoretically create a detector detector detector, but you can actually just build better shielding for your detector and defeat the detector detector by preventing your detector from radiating anything detectable by the detector detector. Not that that is confusing or anything haha
+John Di'argiano lol awesome, thanks for the info, I always love learning more about how things work.
I find it amusing that all those radar things that the cops use and all of those radar detectors and detector detectors and so on are made by the same company.
It is a bit humorous. It is interesting that some government bodies think they can legislate the reception of a radio wave

Thing is they're not all 'assigned' to homicide units lol.. cops have a huge variety of duties. here in CT though, the CT state police have virtually all stopped doing speed traps and even traffic stops it seems.. on highways, of course.

Virginia is obsessed with radar detectors. They're really weird when it comes to them, and they've been that way for a long time.
Any law against RADAR is illegal. RADAR is a radio signal. The constitution says we can receive any radio signal that is broadcast.
Also one of the reasons they went to lasers for speed detection plus lasers are way more accurate.
Everyone is still up in arms over this video..... Again, both officers were very friendly and professional and I returned the same courtesy. Yea there are subtitles posted on the video that may indicate a radar detector, but I assure you, 3 weeks later(after this was posted)the truck was searched again and no illegal devices were found. If the truck was searched right now, now "switches" or "knobs" are installed on or in the truck. Yea I posted subtitles on a video that may or may not convey what or wasn't inside the truck. Had I posted "there's a dead body under the bunk" what would the comments been? I wasn't speeding or breaking any law the day I was pulled over. They did their investigation and I was sent on my way , with a clean bill. So all these Monday morning lawyers need to relax. It was a win in my book. I have a clean driving record and DAC. I don't run down families in a coke raged fury. This is just a simple video , shot with a go-pro that happened to catch a moment of my day. I voluntarily allowed the police to search my truck. I had nothing to "hide". I do enjoy reading the debates and seeing these very strong views of the police doing their job. Yea , 20 minutes of my life was wasted, so be it. I find it humorous that complete strangers can assess my character over a tongue in cheek video. Life is full of cat and mouse games. I won one, trust me, it's not always this easy. So everyone needs to relax and not get so bent over a video that is vague at best. So have fun defending me or degrading me, either way , I am sitting back laughing!

And then how the trucker outsmarted them again by showing on TH-cam exactly where they messed up and where his radar as hidden and….ohhhhh I ….ya….maybe not so outsmarted….
What probable cause did they have to search your vehicle... they got a hit, saw no visual indication that you have a radar detector inside your cab, they scanned again and no hits, so the search should have stopped there!
Well... His radar detector triggered a v2 detector... Any device that uses v2 bands are illegal there...so there's that... And it's a commercial vehicle.... The probable cause is right there in the law
Then we would have missed the fun
He gave them permission to search

So I'm told.
It is only illegal in big trucks that's in all 48 because truck drivers use them to speed .I know your laughing but that is what federal dot says when ask them why are they in cars so they can check there speed

These traffic cops pay for themselves unfortunately. They issue enough citations to cover their salary plus some. If everyone who got a ticket regardless of guilt would fight it in court the municipality would lose money on tickets and only issue them in situations where the violation is serious.

The reason for the detector is that the speed limits are set artificially too low so they can become revenue generating devices for the state, police etc. Set the limits properly and the public does not have to resort to having detectors
Speed limits set too low in who's opinion??? The one who thinks he should be allowed to drive as fast as the vehicle can go, or the old couple who thinks nobody should be allowed to drive faster than the normal Summer breeze can blow a leaf???
Remember... You can't take a "30 mph" curve too fast... I'll leave it up to YOU to decide if I mean that if you take the curve much faster than 30 mph you'll probably crash, or if I mean that even though DOT says the maximum speed in the curve is 30 mph, you can actually safely make the curve traveling at up to 80+ mph. If you enter the curve faster than posted and crash... I'll be happy to nominate you for a "Darwin Awards Recipient."
rcmodelr. Speed limits are seldem right outside of the city. Theres a huge number of factors that go into save speed. Like weather type of car condition of car healty and age of driver experience of driver and so on. Who is to say I should go to jail because I broke a limit a group of elitest made. That turn may be only 25 mph in the rain in a big rig or it could be 80 on a good day is a sports car
wchadb817 "Speed limits are seldom right outside of the city." According to whom? You? It's YOUR call as to what the proper speed on a public roadway should be? Isn't that just you being elitist? Speed limits are ALWAYS exceeded. If they say it's 20MPH, people drive 30MPH. If they raised it to 100MPH people would drive 110-120MPH. Who are you to determine what safe speeds are, without ANY driver data to extrapolate and analyze to determine the most effective;limit to post?
ozmedia Im saying if I work a 12hour shift drive home on the same road I drove for years to and from work and do 75 in a 55 at 3am I should go to jail? That's crazy and im not trying to set a speed so no that's not me being an elist
wchadb817
If you drive 75 in a 55 zone are you not breaking the law? Pretty black and white there I think.
I wouldn't consider it a jailable offense, though not sure what your state laws are regarding repeating such offenses, that's entirely irrelevant though.
What I see is that you feel that, at certain times, you should be free to speed at 20 MPH over the posted limit because you are tired after a long work day, are just trying to go home and traffic is minimal.
More so, you should be able to use a prohibited device (as the OP did in this video) in an attempt to stop yourself from being caught speeding. Acknowledging the fault in your actions by trying to protect yourself from the consequences.
This particular stop obviously wasn't anytime near 3AM but I suppose you are no longer talking about the video that was posted, despite that being the subject of my previous comments.
To summarize:
You are trying to justify, using a prohibited device to protect yourself from fines while breaking traffic laws?
People do this all the time, does that make it clever though? People shoplift all the time and get away with it too. That doesn't make it clever or correct in any way, shape or form though.
I always use my radar detector... actually makes me drive slower. I've noticed when I don't have the radar detector i end up driving faster.
Tell me Virginia isn't a police state
And now it's totally controlled by Democrats ...just like 1860.
All because of the dirty rotten RPV.
Va's not bad really. Not nearly as tight as others I've been in.

Ironic, isn't it? The home of Thomas Jefferson believes in restricting liberty
Thank God that we have Po-Po that concentrate on the really,really serious crime like this and don't tie themselves up wasting their time on such trivial victimless crimes like rape, murder, robbery, burglary, home invasion etc. True blue knights of justice.
This is highway patrol. They don't deal with such matters. When such matters are called in, they are given top priority to police of that jurisdiction. These police enforce traffic laws because believe it or not, they are designed for safety. Someone going 10-15 over may not seem like a big deal but depending on the vehicle 10-15 over at highway speeds means much more damage can happen much faster if an accident were to occur which is why speed limits are enforced.
the truckers don't really drive fast man I never seen a trucker pass me on the hwy they use the radars so they can go faster then 55mph but not stupid fast they always leave a lot of room in front of them and they normally only go over the speed limit when the roads are nice and open with traffic almost none existent.
Looks like Virginia's finest....been ticked by them before!
I live in Bristol va and state police are dicks heads. I live right off interstate and they hunt for reasons to follow you home
dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother recently xD
@Gerald Tyler definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
Virginia s**** there ignorant there and they have no decent truck parking. One state in my opinion that needs less delivery until they start helping drivers not treating them like trash.
The officers earned their ID 10 T certificates.
This video was HILARIOUS 🤣 I loved the commentary, it fitted exactly what was going on. Loved it!!!
Riddle Me This Batman....The trucker is supposed to help the trooper figure out how to bust him?! What a racket!
When you have a job to do, it doesn't hurt to ask for help.
Not when that job is to harass Society and fine Society/ rob them on the side of the hwy! Every time a cop pulls me over I'll give him my license and registration and then I shut the fuck up he gets no more help from me! None of his business where I'm going or where I'm coming from and if I'm in my 18-wheeler he's looking at my logs I don't help him read my logs!

Without a warrant, they cannot search your vehicle. You gave up your rights.
Yes they can, so long as there is one of the circumstances that allow for warrantless searches. Stop spreading false information. You are the reason people get their asses in more trouble than they have to with the police.
JJ Belac You are incorrect. Under no circumstance can they search your vehicle without a warrant without some concrete evidence first.
eishiba10 Think again every state has different laws to "Road Usage" and commercial vehicles fall under a different set of those laws, refusal to allow search of a vehicle on "Public" roads or "Federal" roads can result in vehicle being seized and towed at your expense till warrant can be issued .
The warrant type your confusing is home and or personal business structures, hence "Private Property", Big difference but hey give it a shot sometime and tell us all how it worked out for you .
My Reference Tow Jocky / Repo'er in Commonwealth of VA some 15 years ago, trust me the laws have only gotten tighter in VA .
eishiba10 Whatever you say... See how well your advice pans out for you next time you find yourself in that situation.
JJ Belac under this circumstance the officier can't period. You must be a cop you can always tell how stupid they are.
I’ve seen this video before. Every time it shows up in my suggested I watch it to get a good laugh. I’ve been driving over 40 years. It’s always a good day when you get something bye the cops. A win for the good guys.
Nothin wrong with a little cat and mouse fun! Good job on hiding that radar detector. Merry Christmas!🎄
Except wasting time.
Didn't waste my time Hey a good laugh is priceless these days
Can't imagine two officers spending this much time to find a flipping radar detector.
Folks running dope & human traffickers & Sex Slavers always run Radar Detectors
Commercial vehicle violation. Part of Federal regulations
Tax dollars at work. LMAO
Yep, thats what ego does to a person. All a cop wants is a win. The adrenalin of control. Purely ego driven. People might overlook that ego isn't just a word, an attitude. It's a real damn thing that is highly destructive..Ego has caused wars, brought down empires and kindoms. All the police training in the world is essentially useless when ego comes into play. The types that mostly become cops have an ego to begin with. Ego is an exact definition that encumbers all of the following, narcissisism, conceit, arrogance, anger issues, ,often bipolar, various multiple personality type disorders,depression independent of bipolar, which highly contributes to suicidal tendencies of cops. Politicians are trying to make it impossible for gun ownership ,and yet these are the types holding guns. And that's said in all seriousness. What does it take for a cop to finally lose their ego,, they kneel on someone's neck for 9 minutes already handcuffed, kill that person and go to prison for life. Now where's your ego.
It has to be one of their " Hard On Laws " they focus on.
The whole shebang was so comical! Your captions were hilarious...thanks👍😉
20 years ago, I was driving back from Disney world to Pennsylvania. Right as I got through the top of North Carolina around 1 AM, it was a torrential rain. I was in the right lane doing 45 miles an hour with my Flashers on. I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 miles into Virginia, when a state trooper lit me up. I had a radar detector on my windshield with a stay awake feature. Every 60 seconds it would make a loud alert and I had to push a button to silence it. He walks up to my driver's side glass and tells me to roll the window down. I said I don't think So. 2" is enough. I'm not letting 6 gallons of rainwater come in my driver's window. Why did you stop me. He said "my VG2 has detected a radar detector". I said "I know I wasn't speeding, because my cruise control is set to 45 because I can barely see. He said "I know I didn't Have you for speeding and I appreciate the safe driving. Didn't you see the sign at the border that said radar detectors are illegal? I said "are you freaking kidding me I'm doing the best I can to see 20' in front of me and you want to know if I'm reading signs". He said I understand. give me your license and registration and hand me the detector because I need the serial number. So I did my very best to go as slow as possible looking for my registration and my wallet. If I'm being inconvenienced, hes taking a bath.. He handed me the ticket and I said "you wonder why people hate you?"
When I drove a truck (semi) and was "asked" if they could search the truck I said no not without a warrant. When the cop said we don't need a warrant I (I can recite every right in the BOR verbatim) calmly informed him that the 4th amendment states otherwise and proceeded to quote it to him. He got into his patrol car and left w/o saying anything else.
Hey, I have family who're cops and good friends who're cops, but if I'm to live under the law and they take an oath to the constitution, than I'm gonna adhere to and make them adhere as well.
Probable cause?
@@pg5149 You need more than probable cause to search without a warrant.
I DID BASICALLY THE SAME-POSSESSION OF A RADIO SIGNAL RECEIVING DEVICE (RADAR DETECTOR)IS PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION-THE CAN MAKE YOU TURN IT OFF OR CITE YOU FOR USE-WHICH I WOULD FIGHT IN COURT, BUT, THEY CANNOT CONFISCATE IT !! THE TWO JACKA**ES WOULD BETTER SPEND THEIR TIME PROTECTING CITIZENS AND HIGHWAYS THAN THIS B.S. !!
@Chew Chew Train I've been there too...too many times now. Typically the younger non-experienced cops and female cops...both seemingly out to make a point.
Dave Pragel, You dont need a warrant if you have probable cause. You do need a warrant if you can’t get probable cause. Reasonable suspicion is what you were referring to. It all depends upon what is included. An officer can stop and detain you under probable cause if he sees you breaking the law (speeding). However, that probably cause does not extend to searching your vehicle. If, during the stop, he smells marijuana he now has a reasonable suspicion you have a controlled substance but he can only search if you give him permission. Next step is the drug dog. If the dog hits on your car it is ruled probable cause and he can search without warrant.
Good on you mate, having a radar detector is a victimless crime. Please keep it up. Glad you beat the bastards. safe driving!!
@@markk917 Oh please you saint. I'm sure that you never speed and obey all the traffic laws. Do some research b4 you speak. The majority of accidents that tractor trailers are involved in are the fault of passenger vehicles cutting trucks off, slamming on breaks in front on them etc. Not due to trucks speeding. You want some scientific studies done by various state and federal DOT I can post the links as I'm sure you can't be bothered to look them up yourself or even read them anyway. Much easier to throw a blanket statement out there saying trucks that speed kill family's.
Mark M-K How do you know he speeds. You’re making assumptions . I have a radar detector and I don’t drive like a crazed maniac. I find it to be insurance.

@@markk917 Stop with the what ifs.Have you ever speeded? All of us have and most accidents are from distracted driving and just straight up bad drivers on cell phones and drunk drivers.
I don't see what's wrong with having a radar detector. On the other hand, I have been all over the United States and never felt the need for one. A CB Radio, yes. Radar detector, no.
How many drug runners and criminals drove by while they were sitting there? What a waste of time.
NORMAN OTT even if 100 percent of the drivers passing by were rapist , murderers , and thief’s hypothetically speaking the cops wouldn’t know it and you can’t pull someone over unless you have something to go on
,
You cant stop people for no reason. Well that's how it's meant to be. Even if a rapist was driving past, and they pulled them for something like being on a phone etc.. They wouldn't say, "oh btw im a rapist!" The driver would still be free to go on his way raping or murdering.
They had probably cause on the truck, so they done what they are meant to. We may not like, or even agree with what they are doing, but non the less they was doing nothing wrong in this video.
Unlike in 1000s of other yt videos
he's bored because most real criminals are illegals and they are all angels right?
Did you mean waste?????
The radio signal frequencies belong to Americans, not the government
Meanwhile there have been 4 break-ins, 1 grand theft auto, a bank robbery, numerous domestic violence cases, and probably a whole lot else. Thanks officers! What a great way to spend your time and our money.
@@ArtemkaPannat while I agree with you,
expecting every citizen to behave rationally and appropriately all the time would be an act of futility. We should however be able to expect our police officers to respond with some thought put in to what acts deserve their attention and what do not. Being a police officer is a very hard job. Both my grandfathers were cops. I have nothing but respect for them. I think they need to be paid more and trained much better.
As a retired OTR Driver, I have to admit that this is of of the best big truck vids I have seen in a long time. The captions where hilarious!!! Thanks, I needed a good laugh today. :D
Looking for a radar detector? What a monumental waste of time......
Exactly my thoughts
He wasn't speeding, and truck driving IS a profession. More truck drivers are killed every year than in any profession out there. A store clerk is next on the list.
@ If people weren't pulled over for driving the speed of traffic or slightly over then there'd be no need for a radar detector. Only way to prevent a speeding ticket is to drive slightly under the speed of traffic. And because of that traffic is increased significantly not only because of the average speed on the highway but also because of the lack of passing done in passing lanes in fear of getting a speeding ticket. In that situation speeding to pass quickly and move back to the right lane would prevent more accidents than it causes. But again, many people don't do that in fear of getting a speeding ticket.
Meanwhile a bank is getting robbed.
They are SERIOUS about it in Virginia. (I say stupid.... but they didn't ask me.)
9:41 - "Outsmarted by a car hauler" To be fair being a truck driver requires more training than to be a cop...
Kindergarten is more technical than police academy
I grew up and worked in Va for many years. I believe it is one of only two states where Radar Detectors are illegal and subject to seizure. I knew and worked with a Pennsylvania man who rented a room Monday-Friday and worked as a Mechanic in Loudoun County. A Trooper pulled him over and demanded his Radar Detector. The man said unless you draw that pistol, I'm not giving it to you. The Trooper drew down on him and the man complied. After receiving his ticket, the man drove directly to the local Magistrate's Office and he swore out a Warrant against the Trooper for Armed Robbery. The judge conceded but told him don't ever let me see your face again. This was the only account I ever heard of a person receiving their property back after a State Police seizure. The DMV has a ridiculous point system too and it's a trap, a revolving door that is very difficult to get out of because it is a HUGE source of income for the Commonwealth.
they are illegal in every state for semi trucks.
Bassmangotdbluz aAXDDDFCGp
that is very true, don't speed. but that is also so boring lol. luckily i have a slow car now. i see all these fast cars and just feel bad that its like torture for them. police are all over them real quick.
i was in the blue ridge mountains of NC and some kid in an orange M3 BMW went by faster than me. wasn't going that fast but he might as well be driving a huge disco ball. i can only imagine how many tickets he got with that car.@Duke Brooks (WGMD)
@Duke Brooks (WGMD) They are not illegal in Connecticut; that law was repealed in 1992.
Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia, DC, on all military installations, and in all commercial vehicles over 10000 lbs.
Radar jammers are illegal in all states per federal law.
Laser jammers are illegal in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and DC.
You DO know that this story is not apocryphal (in any way) -- it is just another 'good guy (truck driver) v bad guy (police officer enforcing the law -- a law that many do not care for) story and is total 'horse-hockey', RIGHT? Find something that people feel strongly about or in a 'containing' site (etc.) and put it here. You may not have 'invented' this but you are just repeating and supporting the meme -- this meme, that is totally bogus.
It's like the story about (name a highly sought after ball player here) where a woman is in an autograph line and says: 'My son would just DIE to have your autograph, MR. XXXX ('Adding a name' to increase authenticity and the chance that someone is going to 'buy it')!' To wit, Mr. XXXX retorts: 'Well, may he rest in piece!!!' Same principle -- one gets to see the bad guys get 'owned'. There isn't a State Trooper alive that would draw their firearm just because they were given an 'or else' ultimatum for something like this. The local FOP wouldn't even be able to save their jobs if they did that. At the worst, they would arrest the law-breaking' driver -- most definitely they would NOT draw their service weapon. If you think that they would, well that's how one can explain how you bought into that one.
This reminds me so much of the Virginia I grew up in. Gestapo like treatment all for a radar detector in the only state that bans them. A trooper and sargent for backup that totally waste their time for the states backward policies. I now live in North Carolina and feel like I'm going to a foreign country when I go home on visits.
Radar detectors have been banned from commercial vehicles for some time.. a few still run them but the tickets cost as much if not sometimes more than the speeding... besides who wants to waste time with harassment?
@@virginiamyers9492 I fully understand but it's ok in all other states. I lived in Virginia for 62 years and now live in North Carolina. Life is much different here and many more freedoms. I haven't had a radar detector in at least 30 years but I can run one is all states but VA. There is no harrassment except VA. Thanks
They're also illegal in the nation's capital. Washington DC

One of the many reasons why I'll never move back to VA.
I live in TN like 10 mins from the VA line and I NEVER go there. I avoid VA like the plague
WA Boom : I was born & raised in Southwest Virginia but moved to Ohio 5 years ago. Virginia & their Commonwealth State rules and regulations isn't nothing but a way to fuck the people out of hard earned money . I'm just going to put it out there , I'm from Smyth County Virginia. That is one of the worst places for cops looking for something to charge you with & take your money or worse jail time. All the factorys with good paying jobs are gone & the building leveled.

@ when your finished prying your lips off that boot you might do a little research and you will realize most accidents are caused by people in the cars. Those professionals deliver everything you wear, eat,drive, everything in your home,etc.
With all due respect, you shouldn't have given specifics on your hiding spot for your detector. You gave the enemy valuable info. Other truckers won't be as lucky as you in the future.

Not only that he made them look like fools with his comments so when they play his video at the barracks they will crack down even harder on truckers.
Also crossed my mind about sharing that info, surely there is a cop somewhere watching this.... hopefully no consequences...

@@dadadaa2034 paying tax does not equal ownership silly
What's wrong with radar detectors anyways? It makes people go back to speed limit when they pick up radars. Guess they don't want you sniffing out radars so you'll keep going over the speed limit so then cops can get you for money. All about the money, and donuts.
the idea is that you stay at or below the limit even without a detector...
I've seen many a car and truck drive up to a radar trap doing 20-30 over the limit, then hit the brakes hard a few meters before they'd get zapped, never mind what's coming up behind them.
THAT causes accidents and that's why they're outlawed in many places.
jwenting I agree with you! My husband had bought me one, and after that thing was in there for about four days, I took it out. THE ONLY reason my husband said he got it was because, "it looked cool in the car." WTH? That constant beeping is very nerve wrenching and I could see how it would cause people to brake, in which case DOES cause accidents to happen. If I DO get pulled over for speeding, IT'S BECAUSE I WAS SPEEDING, and I'll take the ticket ANY DAY over an accident. But I HATE radar detectors, and I'm not a cop, I just don't like the constant beeping, and I could care less if it "looks cool"! I'm not TRYING to look cool, which is what I told my husband as I ejected that thing from my car. It's not enough I have to listen to the kids squabbling amongst each other in the back seat, and then HE THOUGHT I was gonna listen to that constant beeping? hahaha.... UH, NO! I just try to go the speed limit or at least stay within 5 mph of it, and well, IF I do get caught, then write me a ticket.
Robin Renee Bednarczyk
indeed. I used to speed all the time, almost never driving less than 10-15kmh over the limit and usually closer to 30 (which is the maximum here beyond which you get a court appearance).
About 5-6 years ago I decided to stop doing that, drive at or around the limit at all times.
Total extra travel time per day? A few minutes at most. And a LOT less stress along the way.
Have had 1 speeding ticket since, buggers placed a camera against the back of a sign indicating a temporary reduction in the speed limit and I let off the gas a few seconds too late. Went about 1kmh faster than the cutoff below which they don't ticket for speeding (compensation for imperfections in equipment).
Never did get many tickets in the first place as I know pretty much every fixed camera and was constantly, paranoid almost, scanning the side of the road for anything suspicious and hitting the brakes seeing something, anything at all, out of place, but wouldn't you be rather watching traffic than look out for new "bushes", "dumpsters", "broken down cars" parked off the hard shoulder?
Not worth it, and with the ever increasing number of laser guns radar detectors are (where still legal) ever more ineffective anyway.
And it's so satisfactory to see the nerd rage build in the faces of people tailgating you in BMWs and Mercs because you're not zooming along at 150kmh but rather sticking to the 120kmh limit :)
You took the words right out of my fingers! Personally, I think radar detectors save lives.
They make it next to impossible for cops to give speeding tickets to people who own them so a lot of states have banned them. It fucks with PD revenue stream therefore its illegal.
I cant believe all this for a radar detector. come on. road pirates.
Should be out looking for dangerous drunks.
Godspeed - its mostly for public safety.There are Speed Limit signs posted every mile.Why go faster?When you signed your drivers licence you agreed to obey The Laws.Driving is a priviledge and you forfeited your Rights to get a Privileged licence.I cant see how you are so ignorant of the Laws you signed your name to an agreed to follow.

Caneisha Mills v. D.C. 2009 “The use of the automobile as a necessary adjunct to the earning of a livelihood in modern life requires us in the interest of realism to conclude that the RIGHT to use an automobile on the public highways partakes of the nature of a liberty within the meaning of the Constitutional guarantees. . .”

Cops aren't smart enough
The cops have to prove that is a detector and the only way to prove that is to take the truck apart.
I never had one never needed one. Had a company rig with a governor on it. I did learn something here though. I didn't realize they pulled trucks over because they could detect a device from their cars. I still think it's stupid for a trooper to tie up traffic on the shoulder of the highway putting himself and the trucker in harm's way and causing all the other traffic to have to cram into the left lane. If I made the rules the shoulder would be a breakdown lane with rare exceptions like a fleeing criminal or getting a wreckless driver off the road. It shouldn't be used to issue routine traffic citations or doing dot inspections which I had done to me on the shoulder. That's really irresponsible by law enforcement.
@@michaelmullingo6197 It's all about generating revenue my friend. They don't actually care about public safety.
There was probably someone who actually needed to be stopped for reckless driving or who needed help while they were spending all that time looking for a radar detector.
instead of worrying about something thats not important, why dont they catch actual criminals instead of wasting taxpayer's time and money
Exactly! They actually put themselves in danger on the side of the road by parking their patrol cars in front of the truck. Nobody coming up behind them can see those cars or lights. They just figure a big truck on the side of the road and don't move over. The one officer thinks he is so cool he is practically out in the right lane as traffic shoots past him. I guess they feel invincible.
@@hhrey1892 the fact that the police invested in equipment to detect another person's radar detector says to me that road safety is not on their agenda, period. they're there to make money and fill a quota set by their boss

I spoke about this video with a high schooler and they asked, "How can a fire detector be legal but a radar detector detector isn't?" That's the future folks.
I am a truck driver too, and I have been harrassed and bullied by local DOT enforcement officers so many times that I am afraid to even take my truck on the road anymore. The sad part is that all of my company's trucks have electronic logs and a "driver improvement monitor" that monitors how I drive, how quickly I accelerate or decelerate, how fast I take turns (by a G meter), and it also has a camera that monitors my lane centering and goes off if I come close to a lane or get within 2 car lengths of another vehicle. To an extent, it can be a good thing because it makes you better as a driver, but it is also alarming because when they malfunction, they can also take your career to the shitter with them. Technology has gone way too far and the companies are following suit. They trust a malfunctioning computer system over the driver. Gone are the days when we could use 2 or even 3 log books. Any way that state legislators can shaft you, best believe they will.
I've been retired now for 12 years, but I watch these videos and shake my head at such baloney …. and they wonder why there is a driver shortage … bunch of dumbasses. Even your own company will shaft you, on top of all the BS we put up with out on the road. So glad I survived and I'm done.

This has been the greatest video by far, I've never laughed so hard watching these two troopers scratch their heads and scramble around looking for something you're covering with your butt. ROTFLMAO, Great one Mr, trucker!!!!!!!!

I've been a commercial driver for 31 years they never cease to amaze me you would think they would make them go to school or something stupid is as stupid does
Folks running dope & human traffickers & Sex Slavers always run Radar Detectors
Typical state laws tryna minimalize our freedoms.
And you can’t cure stupidity you’ll always have it
Meanwhile drugs and worse drive right on by .It's called easy quota for the month.
What's really funny is they waste all this time searching for your radar detector, but didn't bat an eye about the cb linear you admitted to!
Or the "move over law" that motorists were violating right in front of the supervisor....
Cb linears only come under fcc rules and they require special equipment and circumstances to address.
A little intelligence goes a long way!
And he probably has 200 channels as well.
That would be the jurisdiction of the FCC, not state or local cops.
Completely unconstitutional search. The piggy never once asked to search and the driver of the rig never gave him consent and what the fuck was porky looking in the duffle bag for ? Never give consent to searches. Not ever.
Dog regulations prohibit the refusal of the search you can own a truck and drive it around and refuse searches but you cannot drive professionally and get a deal t number without following those regulations it's part of the job to keep us in the public safe you have an option to not work as a trucker if you care more about your 4th Amendment right that's just the way it is and I'm glad
More policing for profit disguised as public safety.
Absolutely!!!
I have watched this so many times and the more I watch , the harder I laugh!
Meanwhile no one moving over from the right lane .
Wouldn't a radar detector encourage you to slow down if you detected a radar? Isn't that a good thing?
I don’t necessarily agree with the illegality of detectors, but what they really do is encourage you to slow down only when being observed, essentially admitting that you will be speeding when not being monitored.
Saving lives isn't the point, lining the pockets of the State and City is whats important.....
Why not both?
Doing the right thing when nobody's looking shows good character
In a sense, yes. But the point of owning a radar detector is to go as fast you please when no radars are around.
I personally have 3. But I don't use them for speeding. I use them to detect cops. I have an anxiety disorder where if I'm near a cop, I start panicking. Despite doing anything wrong.
So for me, I have to avoid cops or troopers if I want to drive safely on the road. You don't want to be driving and suddenly get a panic attack.
Car haulers are a rare breed. Ever try driving a car on to a truck like his in reverse? There is a thousand ways you can damage a vehicle when loading it. These guys are not your typical truck drivers. I have much respect for these guys its just sad that the feds are always taxing them. But atleast you guys get a brake on fuel prices going down due to Russia and the BRICS Nations removing the criminal speculators. Enjoy!
I had a FM blaster back in the days when trying to hear my sirus radio
Thank you for this video and the balls to do it
this video is as daring as the marines that stormed Normandy beach in World War 2, thanks for your service .......you're my hero.....
It always amazes me how they could lie cheat and steal but we can’t do anything to even the playing field smh
Yes we can. But we are all stupid and scared. And for no good reason. These people are cowards. The firearm on their side is where they carry there balls!
Reminds me when I use to have free cable years ago. I put the filter in my television so it could not be seen. The cable guy spent an hour with his little meter looking around but never found it hahahaha.
@@polarbearchronicles Yes that would be correct, i was stealing.
@@VictorPoulin It would be pretty easy honestly. Go to the tap and disconnect the line. Lmao. Chances are you're creating noise on the network and that's easy to find. Disconnect the whole thing until a service appointment is made to find where the noise is coming from - disconnect each line until the noise is gone.
@@sillycarnerd665 Would they have done it this way 32 years ago though? Maybe?
@@VictorPoulin Hell no! Back then, they used filters to limit what one person could watch! As long as you were connected to the tap, you were golden! I don't think the FCC was as hard on cable companies either, lol.
You ate him, didn't you.
Because it wasn’t already a difficult/dangerous enough job. These so called law enforcement
officers are making it even more dangerous and costing this driver time and money…
RADAR detectors cannot be made illegal, and the Commonwealth prosecutor will "nolle pros" ( not prosecute ) an appeal of a first-level court conviction because they don't want to risk an appeal going to the federal courts who would invalidate Virginia's bogus un-Constitutional law.
Also, cops don't know how to write proper code for RADAR detectors, so you can review the law code and perhaps convince a judge that the ticket is meaninglessly and illegally vague and inappropriate, not bearing witness to anything specifically against code.
Regardless, this is the US, folks, where radios and radio receivers are Constitutionally protected free speech and cannot be made illegal.
.
Good legal argument but do your research - SCOTUS upheld Virginia's law..
.
Thanks, do you have a reference to a specific legal challenge at SCOTUS to Virginia / DC RADAR prohibitions, [ @@@taplinger ] -- Google searches are all over the place and I can't find a FREE SPEECH case versus Virginia / DC prohibitions against RADAR detectors.
I found one that seemed to pivot on whether or not the police had evidence of a power source for an electronic device, of all berserker things to argue -- they guy wanted out of a ticket, but was not challenging the law altogether.
I'm wondering if only "get me out of this ticket" arguments have been brought to SCOTUS / SCOVA so far, but "declare this law unconstitutional" have not been brought to SCOTUS / SCOVA yet, on any grounds.
Something is behind my experience of Commonwealth Attorney's "nolle pros" any RADAR detector conviction appeals.
( a ) They are happy with the revenue at the first level courts, don't want to waste time at second level courts because it's not worth it to them money wise, or ( b ) they do not want to risk an appeal moving up to declaring the law unconstitutional for any reason ( but in my analysis, on free speech grounds ).
Thanks for exploring this with me.

PS -- I proudly display my RADAR detector in Virginia and DC, and have explained to cops that I use it to test their veracity, for example, suppose their RADAR gun fails while they are on duty ... do they go back and get another RADAR gun, or do they "fake it" and write tickets anyway? By having a RADAR detector, I can test and witness and testify that their RADAR gun did not ( or did ) emit any RADAR. The cops actually paused and had nothing to say on that one ( too close to home ? ) ... and eventually backed off arguing, and left it at "tell it to a judge".
A friend just responds, when told by cops that RADAR detectors are illegal in Virginia, "... yeah, and so is eating your wife ..." ... ( I am in awe of folks who can get away with shit-talking to armed police ! )

@@peterblaise Well maybe memory doesn't serve me. I remember years ago that VA law was challenged all the way to SCOTUS but I too cannot find a reference. Maybe I remember it was challenged to lower federal court and failed. What I see now is no person or group has the resources to bring it to SCOTUS. Too bad. It is unconstitutional on its face. VA government is full of self-righteous self-serving rich white Christian males who are still living in the 19th century. They almost got through a law that said for a woman to obtain an abortion she had to get a big probe inserted in her vagina that would show her a sonogram of the fetus.
Two grown men with nothing better to do than to harass a man trying to earn a living doing something other than eating donuts and robbing the public.They are indeed a DISGRACE to their state.A total waste of our tax money.Fire them all.
+sallymaggiespotty I know right? those assholes are getting paid...Every second a trucker is held up cost MONEY...I see it far too much..
+sallymaggiespotty Not to mention that the donuts they eat were brought on a truck from somewhere or at least the materials to make the donuts were.
+sallymaggiespotty It is not the officers' fault that Virginia has such stupid laws. The officers are only enforcing the law.
+fl0sserelli --Yea that just what the guards said at Auschwitz.
+sallymaggiespotty Fire the governor of VA. The cops are just trying to enforce the law.
I'll never feel safe in Virginia again. Can't believe they only sent two Cops to solve the crime of the Century.
I love it. Good for you. Just keep em' scratching their heads with their sticky, donut glazed fingers! WAY TO GO BUDDY! No matter how you won, it is still a WIN!
Good one ☝️
That was hilarious! Wasting all that time on a trucker who has a radar detector but can't find it. Goes through the trucker's personal stuff - looking for a detector in your duffel bag? I've lost respect for LEO's.
If I had my guess, the fine for a detector in a truck is probably very sizable. That is what America is now. DOLLARS. Does not matter if it's pulling trucks over, the NRA, or illegal immigration. It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Standards have been minimized, profit has become everything. Kinda sad really.
"profit has become everything"...
A government entity has a profit motive?
Lemme guess...you be kolege stewdint?
*@Kevin Nicoll - Profit has ALWAYS been everything in the U.S. Kevin. Jeez the country was BUILT on profit you sad sack. And what have the NRA and illegal immigrants got to do with any of this? As I've educated other halfwits about before, regardless of whether you personally, happen to agree or disagree with certain laws, a law is a law period. And if you, I, or anyone else elects to break any of those laws, expect to be charged, fined, or otherwise suitably punished for doing so.*
*Incidentally, whilst radar detectors are generally LEGAL across the US (except on military bases and for commercial drivers), radar JAMMERS are illegal for anyone to use under federal law. The use of a radar jammers is deemed so serious that it could lead to a felony charge, a hefty fine, and even jail time in the State in which such a device is used. Use of a jammer is deemed as an attempt to evade arrest. Safe driving!*

Crime is an unfortunate & inconvenient incident for the Citizen - REVENUE $$$ ENHANCEMENT 💰, however is a SERIOUS duty for PoPo👮 .
OR quite possibly they’re just a Buncha DummAsses, too smart by half! 🤷🏻♂️
I love it, they have radars to check speed, and financially extort you, but it's illegal for a citizen to protect themselves from road pirates with radar detector.
That dash cam is awesome he’ll u can hear them talking outside
I love how he admits to having a "linnear for the CB" and the cops don't even care. ROFL !!!!
COPS HAVE NO AUTHORITY FOR RADIO SYSTEMS, AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY IGNORANT...SCREW TERRORIST EMPLOYEES!
Relentless cop. Can't find it so keeps on searching, detaining and I'll be damned if he ain't giving up. This is what I do not like about Authoritative cops. They think they have the right to harass, under the guise of probable cause, anyone they want to harass for any reason.
Except he had a radar detector. It went off and the officer was doing his job. When a semi is going 80 mph and because he knows there aren't any police around and they slam into your son or daughter how will you feel about what they do then?
the trucker should send them a bill for his down time and if not payed in 30 days seize the cop car
And ... it took TWO troopers to find nothing.
@@dennisw47150 have you ever driven on the Autobahns?
No speed limits and they are the safest highway network in the industrialized world.
So tell me again how going 80mph isn't safe?
Well.... he was right. How is being right and pursuing a lawbreaker harassment???
love this one. State Cops more worried about a stinking radar detector than stopping the crazy drivers.
Radar detector... illegal. That is such a joke. Just another law to make sure that revenues stay up. Thank you Mr. tax officer.
choosetherightify in the state of Virginia and CMV are not allowed to have radar detectors. Better go read that green trucker bible.
I am 60 years old been a professional driver since the age of 21 and before. Zero speeding tickets zero tickets of any kind. No radar detector needed. Just seems like a waist of time to go through not to get a ticket. When just good driving skill is all it takes.
