That was this punk's account... I saw the video from inside his car. The officer did not even come close to riding the clutch. Rev's didn't go over 1500. That was a non-event that was blown WAY out of proportion.

Can you imagine a Office Riding your BMW clutch :rant: :rant: . If that was me I know I would be arrested that night for kicking his ass. I thought all office are suppose to know how to drive a manual. ?

Nope. Not sarcastic at all. Those cops have a tough job and if I roll up to a sobriety checkpoint I comply with simple questions to demonstrate I'm doing the right thing. The question of where he was going at 2:30 wasn't to find out about his personal life. It was to determine if his speech was slurred due to alcohol.

He could have just said he was going home or over to a friend's house. This kid decides he's like to make life hard for the cops and was given due treatment. Please don't fail to recognize that this kid has several similar incidents.

I don't know about you, but I've had none and find it hard to believe he has several before the age of 21. It's very easy to stay out of trouble in St. Louis. It's a nice area. This kid goes looking for it.

He did make a few mistakes there (definitely shouldn't have given them the keys to his car, because by doing so he basically consented to a search), but overall he acted within his rights and was being more respectful to them than I would have.

BTW, I'm not bashing cops; I know quite a few local, State and Federal LEOs and they are all great guys and true professionals while on the job, but a few assholes like those above give them all a bad name.

I can remember being pulled over for speeding (70 in a 55) and the cop start yelling and giving me a hard time. He claimed that my daughter and friend did not have thier seat belt on.

Yes I was speeding put this cop came on so strong I really hated him when he was done.

I think a lot of cops are professionals and it should be part of the job not to make a minnor situation turn so negative.

Now, the cop was being an ass right from the start, too. If he wanted to talk to the kid to make sure he wasn't DWI, he should have told him to pull over to the side of the road and step out of his car. That's it. Instead, he demanded him out of the car right in the middle of the road (endangering his own life, the life of the "suspect", and other motorists on the road), demanded his keys, performed an anauthorized entry, unauthorized search (although as I said earlier, since the kid handed him the keys himself, legally it may not have been an unauthorized entry/search, but that's a technicality), etc. Basically, he abused his power to show the kid "who's in charge". That's what I have a problem with.

I believe that was directed at blue.

The cop should have his teeth knocked out, along with being fired, he seems like a real tough guy, we'll see if he gets what is coming to him

I don't see anything wrong that kid did, and the cop was being a complete ass. The kid did a good job staying cool, too.

After seeing this complete video I DEFINATLY think the cop was way out of line, he was just going off, cops are suppose to keep their cool and be professional in any situation , I have seen other video where suspect are acting crazy and the cops are just cool. This cop was definatly being an ass.
