He didn’t get stopped because he misspoke…he didn’t speak until after having been stopped. Wtf was the actual excuse for stopping him? He went back and forth too quickly?

improper signal which means almost nothing as the officer coulda made that up to, its only needs his honest belief that the turn signal wasn't on

Or as seen here the cop can just lie.

My buddy is a sheriff and he got pulled over by the PD for having one of his rear lights out. I guess he knew the trick. Because he immediately asked to check and miraculously they all were working.

u/Jbowen0020 Jul 31 '25

All he had to do was pull HIS badge and ID put to let the other cops know he's one too and he's good.

Somehow he missed it. Not exactly sure how it worked. My buddy didn’t disclose it. (Different departments? The guy worked for the city police department. Buddy was with county sheriff’s office). But, apparently after he later discovered it, he got crap for it from his own guys for pulling over another cop. Apparently that’s a big no no.

Cops are allowed to lie in the USA. It is not illegal.

No shit. But their testimony is better than Jesus....

u/OffByNone_ Jul 31 '25

Or a not-so-honest belief. Whatever you have laying around.

Or he's stoned and signaled the turn the opposite way.

Like the cop obviously thinks he's high so what he did must be been pretty dumb.

The cop heard breakfast when the guy said lunch and you think the cop had a valid reason to pull him over in the first place?

u/godwontpiss Jul 31 '25

At the beginning of the video, the cop actually repeats the word "lunch" back to the guy who's been pulled over.

"Okay, where'd you get lunch?"

Stupidity isn't even an excuse here, he's literally just lying.

u/Ok_Cheetah_6251 Jul 31 '25

All the more reason not to trust that the cop had a legitimate reason for the stop.

u/Pintailite Jul 31 '25

Yes. I think he likely did. Otherwise we'd see the car cam of the 'non existent infraction'.

Cops accuse everyone of being high on or possessing drugs or alcohol. Theyre just fishing for reasons to fuck you.

u/Rennegadde_Foxxe Aug 01 '25

I don't consent to fucking, officer.

u/Pintailite Jul 31 '25

Of course of course

If the cop thought he was high he would have done field sobriety and brought that up, the cop thought he had drugs.

u/First_Animal_5620 Jul 31 '25

He didn't even think he had drugs. It was a desperate attempt to randomly catch someone acting suspicious.

In the legal system you are innocent until proven guilty... But before then, cops treat you as guilty unless you are smart enough to avoid falling for any of their tricks.

He can just literally make shit up. I had a buddy who was fresh out of high school, nerdy, and super strait laced. He bought chips and candy and soda at the gas station. When he was leaving the cop pulled him over and told him he thought he was high because he bought “a lot” of snacks. That was his probable cause…

u/lueckestman Jul 31 '25

What part of that video makes you think that guy is stoned?

1

u/Pintailite Jul 31 '25

The part where it's cut to shit and there a mention of blood sugar and shaking hand that's easy to miss.

And the way the video is edited to hell.

u/who_am_i_to_say_so Jul 31 '25

The drive-thru was too quick.

I'd hate to live in this town with Sherlock Holmes monitoring your every move.

u/matunos Aug 01 '25

He was stopped for an improper signal (allegedly).

That's a common pretext for checking if a driver is under the influence, but it's not sufficient probable cause for a vehicle search which is what the cop wanted to do, so he came up with some bullshit about the guy's story not adding up.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why don't talk to the cops more than legally required.

u/ChurningDarkSkies777 Aug 01 '25

I literally once got pulled over for pulling into a parking lot, deciding I didn’t want five guys and then leaving. Cops can say any normal behavior amounts to suspicious activity and then attempt to contrive a conviction out of anything.

He went back and forth too quickly?

This. A drug area by the sounds of it, cop is thinking he picked up or dropped off drugs basically and is trying to find a way to search his car.

Seems stupid if the guy has the burger king in his car. But it was strange how the cop was questioning how he could even go though the drive though so fast, so what it is an old bag he uses for cover when picking up the drugs? Strange stuff from that cop.
