I get really upset when I see people texting and driving. A vehicle may also become a weapon. Every person who drives and texts are self absorbed , have a sense of entitlement, and they risk our lives because they have zero control of keeping their noses out of their phones. It’s the same as driving while drunk…. IMO… it’s pathetic and says, "I’m more important than you." "I can do whatever I want and if I cause an accident,,,, oh well…." No regard for Antone but themselves.
I think greater consequences should be imposed, mandatory jail and a very hefty fine…. $300 isn’t enough to hurt their bank account and make them stop, fines need to be no less than $50k. Would that make you stop?
Saying she was texting & driving was putting it kindly. She by FAR went above & beyond by asking his to stop traffic for her exit! 👌🏼
This cop is so calm and level headed. Respect
Watching this video is crazy to me. Here in the UK we aren't allowed our phones touching us at all whilst we are driving, we could lose our licence for it. We aren't even allowed to use our phones whilst we are parked if the key is in the ignition.
can we get confirmation that this woman is SINGLE – what an aszhole and horrible parent
Wow, if this officer has made an unlawful stop as you say, he needs serious reprimand because he does this a lot for the same infraction.
so this channel's only criticism of the stop was that the "officer should have waited until she should have committed another infraction"
holy shit
This is so dumb. The amount of people defending the police here don’t even realize they do the same shit. He needs to get a life for real. Pulling people over in Columbus when it’s a high crime rate area. Absolutely stupid, this country worries about the wrong shit. Drugs, guns, etc and this is what we worry about, a lady sending a text at a red light, give me a fucking break. You all are stupid.
Anyone been watching these for over a week ? 😮
How do you get a B+ for pulling an unlawful stop?
I do believe there's a difference between "don't call me bro" and "I'm not your bro" he never told her to not call him that, so her right to freedom of speech there was not violated. He was informing her, not demanding her.
He was gonna let her go til she denied it, if she fessed up and apologized the outcome prob be different
She's not only texing while driving she's also is potentially endagering the life of her child with that reckless behavior. In my opinion, she doesn't love her child enough to put the phone down while she's driving.
If you think your ticket is not lawful (or any other police's action) – don't start arguing. That's what courts are for. Police can make mistakes, police can be bad sometimes – go to court with that. Arguing just won't take you anywhere.
"Your Honor, I'm a douchebag" 🤣
"I would love to play this for the judge that would be absolutely outstanding." I suppose the cop could have tried harder to de-escalate the situation 😆😆😆
walking away and leave her talking to herself was brilliant hahahah
Mimms Says they can tell you to STEP OUT! NOT STEP IN
Officer Conner is a really great officer. And she wasn’t using hands free. You can see her typing. 😂
She's such an annoying, entitled, narcissistic jackass and had the nerve to call the officer a "douchebag!!" Poor guy who 's with this one better run far away!!! 😮😮😮
Tone changed really quick once he was EDUCATED… Copsplaining is always BS.
Rules of Conduct are spelled out. Auditor knows the Law LEO, same responsibilities
Columbus Coty ordinance did allow for that back then. Y'all gotta look closer.
That “your honor I’m a douche bag” was hilarious. In the end though I think he handled it absolutely phenomenal. Instead of letting his ego get in the way and unnecessarily get physical with her he just kind of ignored it over and over again and went about his day 🤣
I like this cop.
He has video of her texting. The judge will find that very interesting if she fights the citation she knows she deserves.
