So what kind of dash cams do you use?

Mike Shoesmith was this Ontario? You cN get a ticket for running a yellow light

That cop is super high strung. This just goes to show the level of unnecessary *BULLSHIT* that too many police officers get away with. The officer *ADMITTED* that he was taking his personal frustrations out on a stranger.

Mike Shoesmith WOW!! WHOAH!! MIND BLOWN WIDE OPEN!! That’s like if my mother ever said she was wrong about anything!! I didn’t know it was even possible within the natural laws of the universe for a cop to admit their bad. Seriously, I suddenly feel like maybe my dreams aren’t so crazy, maybe anything really is possible! Thanks for sharing that miracle you captured, really...it’s like a little ray of hope in a dark, unfair and unforgiving world.

+edward starling I agree, fuck the cop. Show some big love to the garmin dash cams of the world

IKTR! Lol!

Yep exactly!! Well he wouldn't of gotten fired but a warning or slap on the wrist..

Gary Cameron I was really shocked! Just goes to show you that cops regular people and have bad days, too bad it took a dash camera to keep the cop honest in a sense...

He HAD to-if that video had been played in Court he'd have lost his badge and gun on the spot,and he KNEW it.

So true, they do it every single day...

bobsfolkart every single day huh? Your an expert in police shooting people in the back??? Nice profession

COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT MORE. I'M YOUR FAN FOR WHAT AND THE WAY YOU STATED YOUR OPINION. FACT IS I READ A STUDY THAT SAYS 92% OF N.Y. COPS WHERE PICKED ON IN SCHOOL 6% TOOK THE JOB JUST FOR THE LIMITED YEARS AND BENEFITS &2% WHO WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD. IF THIS SURVEY IS CORRECT MUST GO AS FAR BACK AS GRADE SCHOOL TO SEE IF THE WANNA BE COP WAS A PUSSY AND NOT FIT FOR THE JOB IF HE WAS

I don't keep my lic in my wallet. I leave it in my car with my insurance and registration. Love the look on the coproaches face when he thinks he can ID me by taking my wallet. Silly coproaches.

Exactly!

Irregardless of the camera he did say he was sorry and realized that he was being a prick. Some cops probably wouldn't have apologized and denied all the way to court. Also to be fair this guy did run a red light so he deserved the ticket. The light had turned yellow before he even entered the intersection.

@@dansanfrisco Nope. Watch again. It's yellow when he enters the intersection. No violation. He apologized only because he was told he was recorded. Not because he had a change of heart.

@@dansanfrisco These trucks are not cars! They do not stop on a dime , the momentom is much greater with the weight of the truck. Even when the light turns yellow when your close to the intersection your not going to stop this truck that fast. without ending in the intersection. just have to be aware of trafic as you come to intersections. Some lights turn pretty fast..

Either way that cop apologized..better than some denying irrationally

exactly

+David Smith I don't know Canadian law, and won't pretend to. But I imagine if you don't get a ticket or fine, taking the incident to court wouldn't really work. I don't get what you claim as a right violation or personal damages. If all the driver lost was some of his time.

+Jeff P I'm thinking it's more the fact that the cop knows it's a borderline call on the yellow light. You can't just slam on the brakes deadheaded like this because there is not much traction in the rear without a loaded trailer on there. It was yellow, not red when entering. Even if it was red leaving the intersection and that alone is a pass in the states at least. But yeah after he reviewed his tone and actions with the above in mind on video no less, he did the flip flop like a smart man should do. Had the driver been a total jerkwadd with insults and smarting off, the cop might have been ticked off enough to go ahead and push it as far as he could anyway. The advice to stay calm and respectful is pure golden if you ask me. I remember reading about an almost exact similar case without video, and in court the truck driver called himself as an expert witness on the unpredictable dangers of sudden braking without a loaded trailer in tow. The judge wanted to know how he qualified himself as an 'expert' in the subject and he pointed to his CDL - THE mark of a state certified professional driver. No one else in the court had one, the case was dismissed.

Absolutely.

Keep calm and record everything.

@Stomp TheElite bah ,he knew okay ,but i feel what he says about having a bad day was sincere......... im glad he is capable of admitting that at least(he admits he behave incorrectly)

His wife served him with divorce papers that morning for breakfast!

From the start he was a asshole, he will die as an asshole.

@@moodyfan4ever lol,so true

Bad day my ass,he’s having a bad life and trying to exact his revenge on the world,like some cops do.

Assume all cops are filthy, lowdown liars and tyrants. Never answer questions. They hate us all.

you missed the WHOLE point.

@DCIfanatic18 .. the end don't matter .he know she was in video that's why he apologize 😂you fucking idiot

He only apologized cause of the dash cam

He apologized after finding out that he was being recorded lol.

Nice Van Halen reference!

Joseph Usher - Thanks, Joe!

Jeez now I can’t unhear it

Tim thinks hes honest...lol. He got caught in a lie....big difference.

He wouldn't have apologised and Mike would have been cited.

I'd still report him.

F No

One more crack like that & I'll call the ANGER MANAGEMENT POLICE on you😊

Pffft, same here😂

@@HectorGonzalez-mw2tf yep. Was waiting for something to destroy the house.

Rose me too

its elegal in some states

jerryjunoirmint illegal???

he didnt say illegal, he means elegal

bunker931 he can say n mean what he wants but it shows a lack of education obviously.

Absolutely, everyone should have a dash cam and, no, they aren't illegal ffs.

he's clearly menopausal & gravely in need of hormones to balance his mood swings. Male change of life can be devastating. Poor ridiculous fool . Next best remedy, smack down & bitch slap until daylight dawns in his angry small mind. A medal for the driver whose control is unbelievable. I would have been shot dead for attacking that tapeworm.

Pretzel*

COP. DREDD. I. AM THE LAW. EVEN IF I. FK UP. IT'S STILL YOUR FAULT..

The truck driver was wrong. Yellow slow down. He accelerated. It was clearly red when he went through the light.

@@drewnyc5816 was green when he was beyond point of no return, trucks cant stop on a dime, he cleared intersection rather then stop in middle of it. You gotta remember what hes driving, trailer or not.

Who hasn't coasted thru a changing light in their life time.? Had he tried to stop he would have past the light anyway. The driver had Rt. Of way till the light turned Red. So the Driver avoided an accedent. GOOD FOR HIM..

@@chuckkelly1225 He didn't avoid an accident he ran a light. Take the summons. We all get caught once in a while.

+edtchjn Hello Sweden! No pictures sorry.

+edtchjn The cop's attitude changed when he realized he was being recorded... hence the apology... he wasn't sorry for being a douche, he was sorry he was caught on camera being a douche.

+Thomas Nuckles Exactly. He would have continued being his ole prick self had he not known about the camera. I never tell cops they're being recorded. Let the footage speak for itself. That's the only way to get a true representation of an officer's mentality.

90% of cops would double down and make the public pay thousands of dollars in a lawsuit.

Got a ticket for going 30 in a 30 recently. I was accused of going 50. Never have had a ticket on my record, and I've been driving for 20 years. You bet I bought a dashcam after that.

i got so much dash cams in my car people think iam a cop. even a cop thought i was a cop!

@T West that's very racist I am very offended I am a Democrat feminist gay transgender atheist.

True!!!!

He does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

Bruh I was trying to put my finger on who he sounded like lmao

edward John Eddie Haskell, aka Ken Osmond actually became a cop. He was a cop for 18 years. 😂😂😂

@@Rick-iv1nx - was he a good cop or bad. Thank you in advance for answering and have a pleasant evening, Mr and Mrs cleaver.

Who’s Eddie Haskell?

He’s an actor turned cop who had a cop car with seats made from fine Corinthian leather.

Ahhh wipe clean......sensible.

🤣🤣🤣

extort money how? he was giving the trucker a ticket for going through the obvious red light.

@@fmulder67 I wouldn't call it obvious...it turned red as he was going through. Would not have held up in court and the cop OBVIOUSLY knew it. You OBVIOUSLY have never driven a rig...now I know he was bobtailing but still the tractor is heavy and doesn't turn and stop like you can in your car. Most cops (especially this one since he was supposedly involved in enforcement of trucking laws) know about trucks and give them a little leeway when it comes to red lights.... Also he was turning slowly through...it would be entirely different if he was going straight through the intersection at high speeds....when you make a turn especially in a truck you need to slow down so he was caught in the point of no return....if he decided to stop he would have had to jam on his brakes and possibly end up in the middle of the intersection.... Again this is not your 2500lb car that can stop on a dime....this is a 20,000lb truck...

Yup, couldn’t add more than a few dozen dollars of cost to the car if you think of the scale that they would be manufactured

Most truckers do have these. For multiple reasons. One is people like to instigate a crash to get a good check in the mail. Like brake checking in front of semi intentionally.

Pretty much required in Russia, I believe.

Most of the truckers problems is the 4 wheelers cutting us off I have a dash camera...warning to women that drive min Van's stop cutting me off your not truck proof

I'm sure it's coming, like cameras for backing up.

Exactly! I hope the trucker reported him still.

Gleep

He saved himself lawyer fees, hussle, and his precious time.

Not if the cop was willing to waste a whole day and the driver needed to get rolling. Better to get the cop to leave with a mouthful of crow and make a little off of the KZfaq video.

Dave Delve Delve so I guess that NOT manning up

@@JohnShinn1960 thats what a jury is for. its people that arent affiliated with both individuals. a judge only passes a sentence after the jury decided the who is guilty and of what.

Driver should've had no mercy with the tape evidence. The cop was definitely gonna write him up if it wasn't for the dashcam

Judge wouldn’t have done shit about it

You think government employees punish other government employees or hold them accountable? LOL

That was amazing, but, as you indicated, he realized rather late that he was going to look pretty foolish and thuggish if he didn't back off and do something to repair the damage his earlier attitude caused.

Bear Cat 2,000,000 +later 😂

Bear Cat n.

It wasn't honesty,he got busted on the cam. He apologized so his boss doesn't put his foot up his ass.

Sure the court would see him Being a dick, but that would not embarrass him. The ticket would be waved and he would go on his way. The officer realized that he was being a jerk after it being brought up. We do it all the time, someone says “hey I know you have been having a bad day” and we get defensive about it, then after letting it sit on you, you realize “man I have been a dick, I should apologize” well if your not an asshole.

Only the failures pass the entrance exam.

They should keep their bullets for the first 5 years so they don't shoot people for no reason.

Most insightful comment here. I agree

They requirements are that they're dumb. They've found hiring intelligent officers with a conscience desnt work.

Pretty sure they recruit from the High School on the day the college acceptance letters go out.

Cesar Cordova well....NOW I can’t NOT picture Steve Carell when listening to this

holy shit dude hahaha I closed my eyes and felt like I was watching something of the Office hahahahaha

Holy shit your right.

shit, nice catch ! lmao

Cesar Cordova goddammit you beat me to it.

Light was yellow THEN he made the turn. Light wasn’t yellow for one second then red.

I have a love and hate relationship with this line of thinking. On the one hand, he apologized.....but on the other he would totally take you to the cleaners if he could have. You know what, the issue is now clear, you are correct jeremy. Take that dude to court. Bad mornings don't excuse ass-hattery.

I've had DOT officers come at me this way too

well. i dont think anyone should have their gun revoked

Cliff Charpentier the cops who have absolute power to kill someone and 9 times out of 10 get away with it should definitely get their guns revoked. Not everyone but the trigger happy just itching to have an excuse cops should definitely have their fire arms revoked. Use them to protect not to intimidate.

Yeah exactly but i have read that some states want to bad dashcams in all vehicles besides cop cars. can you say butt hurt cops?

Mullay2 dang right !

I still would have sent the footage to his boss, cocksuckers like this give ALL cops a bad name.

Could it be that he wasn't always a bad cop and remembered what a good cop would do in this situation?

@@billwitt6501 Yep, it's certainly possible, Bill. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Nah fuck him file complaints against him until he is homeless and then file a lawsuit for lost time because he waisted your time

Shouldn’t have warned him. He and his brothers need a wake up call every so often

+Andy AKA GA DRAGON that's my secret lol

Awesome video! Sharing with my trucker hubby and going to get him a dash cam now! Thanks for sharing this!

+Mike Shoesmith wow that tone change really fast. always have your dash cam rolling. keep trucking!!

+Mike Shoesmith Good video Mike and great job on handling the situation. Cops are human beings too. You were professional how you handled it and you saved both your selfand him from an enormous amount of ass-pains and court costs.

+Mike Shoesmith Did you get the ticket or not? And if so did you win the fight in court?

You too! Second time this video has come by me. The guy really must have had a bad start if he comes back and apologizes like that. Congrats on a million views!

Mike Shoesmith damn I got to get one in cameras you handled yourself good you got lucky well they say miracles happen everyday just don't count on one have a good run or runs driver be careful

You just got another subscriber brother. My father in law drove trucks cross country all his adult life and he has told me about his show downs with the law. You were a gentleman with the officer. I do wish he would have shown that humility before you told him about the dash cam. I love cops as well man. They are dealing with so much shit nowadays and at the end of the day they are also human. Shit we all have bad days.

Mike Shoesmith I like the way you handled that bro. You did his job. You be escalated the situation by your professionalism. hats off to you bro

did u still get a ticket?

You are biased.

@@logicwurx we all are. Wake up

I agree. In no way shape or form was that an "honest cop." I wish it was reported and placed on this cop's record. Imagine how many lives he's decided to make "a living hell" because he was having a "bad morning" when there was no camera to defend the accused. That guy should be documented and disciplined.

@@logicwurx And you're an IDIOT.

Cop was a sassy fuck but the Trucker did run a red light.

Yes. They HATE that though but not a thing they can do....

bet you love the boob tube

All videos have a beginning, middle and an ending.

THE FUCK!!!! I JUST CAME FROM THAT VIDEO

Chris Mcphatter. Presuming most don't follow up with suing, just goes viral and that's satisfying for most I guess.

What are you talking about? It had nothing to do with the recording, the cop even said "It's upto you, you're entitled to do with it as you want". It had nothing to do with that, it was the fact that the guy legitimately picked up on the fact that the cop had a rough day. If you let people know that, you picked up on it, and it's not fair to be attacking you for it, they'll usually apologise. They go through more stress than your shitty job, so of course they'll turn out like this on a bad day. Just let them know what's up, and they'll apologise. A person going through stress would rather someone acknowledge them for it, instead of attacking them for it.

Ikr lol

I think you're probably correct. There's a chance he might have checked himself after some self-reflection once the truck driver called him out. However, I would think it's more plausible that he changed his abusive behavior in fear of having a complaint filed with some rather damning audio evidence.
