Reasons to despise cops

That vid has been around for awhile.  If you're rooting for the biker, he should have taken the Maumelle exit at around 5:00 into the vid.  If you're rooting for the trooper, the force to the grass actually worked.  I'd have to see a few more tries to make a judgement call on that technique.  As for after the stop, well....

I'm rooting for all the soccer moms who drive that highway daily.  The fact that dude said he was brand new on that bike makes him all the more idiotic.

Definitely Little Rock area. 

ASP and Arkansas LE in general has some real gems and have for many years.

Most agencies don't want to fund air units because of the cost but if you ask me to avoid one multi-million-dollar lawsuit its paid for itself. Not to mention realizing you're never going to outrun an aircraft you have a substantial deterrent effect.

Drones, they got some pretty high speed ones nowadays.

Cop distracted or on his phone while sitting at traffic light.  When traffic light turns green cops doesn't move...after a while the car behind him honks his horn. Cops gets extremely butt hurt, circles the block and follows the guy home where he then ARRESTS him for unlawful horn use. 

All charges dropped by prosecutor, lawsuit filed, cop still on duty.  Just sickening.

While the citizens of Troy get to pay more property taxes to cover the eventual settlement the city will pay to dismiss his now federal lawsuit. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cop didn’t live in the county he worked, thus not having his taxes go up.

One of those other cops called for “backup” should have immediately called him out for this level of dumbassery.

He needs to find a job with no authority over anyone or anything. He acted like a small child pissed off that mommy took his toy truck from him for nap time.

In 10 years, I could see something like this cruising the freeways. I believe this was supposed to replace the Shadow UAV but I heard it was canceled. VTOL so no launcher/runway required. With AI it could look for the most egregious offenders doing 90-100 MPH plus and track them back to the nest followed by a knock on the door by local LE

I think cameras should just be installed on public roads and if a vehicle is recorded illegally/dangerously passing, speeding more than X over, etc. the registered owner gets a $1000 fine in the mail (or whatever amount with graduated cost vs. incident numbers). Copy camera can’t prove the owner was driving, but doesn’t matter because it’s their vehicle and they control who drives it. No need for cops wasting time at speed traps, expensive UAS, etc. 

Also to be clear, big proponent of privacy and limited gov, but there is no right to privacy in public spaces. And I have zero tolerance for self-absorbed asshole drivers.
