wow. what a douche-nozzle! now we know why other countries hate us americans
I'm Canadian and I got stopped by the state troopers in rural Georgia last year. I was expecting to get tazered but they were actually quite nice and chatted with me and my Australian friends for a few minutes before letting us go. We were going something like 55 mph in a 45 or 50 zone.
Although some countries are worse than others, there will always be nice cops and pricks like the one in the video. Up here I've only had one incident like the one in the video (long story, I wasn't doing anything wrong: the cop was on a total power trip).
Wow....98 in a 70 zone....that's 28 mph over the limit and is a criminal misdemeanor. He could have arrested them. I am surprised they didn't get a ticket at least.
Lucky guys.....
The Cop had a filthy mouth tho....funny but unprofessional.
Really, criminal misdemeanor??? They should put the whole state of Florida in jail! You should come down here and ride on I-95 going down in Miami one of these days. Going 20-30 over the speed limit is required to survive here. Going 80 in a 55 zone in the morning and the cop just follow the traffic. All I have to say is, I'm not moving out of Florida for a wile...
That guy was way unprofessional and will be getting some disciplinary action once this video gets to his bosses...trust me.
As for 25+ being a criminal offense in CA....it's not. It's just gonna be a big fine and in some counties, a 30 day license suspension, but not a criminal offense on its own. Now, if there was another moving violation (i.e. unsafe lane change, tailgating....) WITH the speed, the officer could deem it reckless driving which is a misdemeanor.
What about over 100 mph?
There's an "old wives tale" that 100+ is a felony in CA, but its not. California Vehicle code 22348(b) is the section for 100+ MPH and it's an infraction (speeding ticket) as well. Although the fine is going to be well over $1500 and of course, no traffic school on that one. But, throw in another moving violation while committing the 100+, and you could easily make it into reckless driving and go to jail. Or, 100+ in a residential area/school zone, etc...would also earn you some striped pajamas.
I'm just wondering if he got off! I guess it's implied, but not sure...!
From my experience, LA County Sheriff officers are a lot nicer (more normal) than CHP guys... and one of my buddies is a CHP officer & he agrees!
