ETA 10/14/22: NOTE: Apparently people are calling the Nicholas County Office of Emergency Services about this incident. This is causing issues, tying up 911 dispatchers, etc. Obviously I have no control over this. However, that county has requested that I clarify that this incident involved the Nicholas County Sheriff’s Department, which has a phone number of 304-872-7880, if you want to call about this incident. Whatever number people are calling is reaching the OES, which again, is causing unnecessary issues that are actually counterproductive to your concerns. The county has relayed that they are concerned about the incident portrayed in the video.

FULL UPDATE! https://youtu.be/93fKvxhibuI
State Farm sucks….another cowardly WOKE company
what an asshole.
yikes. Another state I'll be sure not to visit.
Cop's attorneys judicial system is all corrupt.It's a shame it's an electrocity.This is happening in the United States.Citizens learn your rights
Miserable excuse for giving a guy handcuffs, a handgun and a patrol car. Nicholas County, I’ll remember to avoid that.
Wow, that is insane. That cop should not be a cop. He literally gave him a ticket because the guy laughed. The charges were absolutely bogus and I cannot believe the judge charged him for it!!! What kind of corruption is happening in West Virginia!!!
SEE TO MUCH POWER CANT HANDLE THEM THE COP IS A COWARD FOOL YOUR FIRED
The is pretty horrible. Why not just a ticket !!! The crime was really laughing at police, police can't stand a slight sign od disrespect. Those cops have an inflated ego because of the badge and gun…
The real problem from these cops is they are mad he was trying to stop them from using vehicles as their own ATM.
I always think I’ve finally seen the dumbest cop out there, then like clockwork one dumber appears. Like a race to the bottom.
West Virginia. Enough said.
Oh my God.I just saw what this cop looks like 😂😂😂
He was so beat up in high school
These cops need to arrest Google 🤡 Google maps updates the speed traps all of the time 😂
10:56 Any update?
Magistrates aren’t judges. Not that judges know what they’re talking about, they’re voted in, popularity doesn’t dictate intelligence.
Why all the adds
This whole department is a parade of assclowns.
Cops like this shouldn’t be on the streets! If a simple laugh bugged him that much to arrest him on bogus charges then taking the handcuffs off and sending him on his way. What a waste of resources! He was in his right to laugh! I can’t imagine how he treats others!
In New Hampshire activists use lasers shows to warn oncoming of sobriety checks, and everybody detours around them. It’s hilarious!!
Being a dirty cop is very stupid and very dangerous. If you cross that one wrong person, there's a chance of you running into them when you're off duty. Especially if you cross a lot of people. You're just jeopardizing your own safety because you can't hide behind that badge all the time.
It's West Virginia. They aren't necessarily known to be the brightest individuals.
These cops are more like a gang of thugs than an actual police force they stop protecting the public a long time ago now all they're doing is using their power to be tyrants you can't laugh what if you fart God forbid you embarrass one of them you'll go to hellow kitty in a handbasket
I used to feel the same way when my domestically abusive ex-husband used to flip out over nothing
" Dont jerk away from, dont jerk away from me". The only Jerk is this wee little man of a cop! He should be embarrassed. My brother is a police sargent and would never behave like that. Grow the heck up !!
I need to be arrested because I cant stop laughing at how ridiculous this officer is!!
Is poor little boy feelings were hurt what a creepy cop
What was the outcome?
“I’m not your brother” “that’s not what momma says” (is what I WISH i would’ve said when the cop said that)
4:12 "Alright, listen to what he says and…." (Referring to the driver on the phone ) Freedom is scary!
In Minneapolis in the 70s my friend and i was crossing park avenue and a cop pulls up yelling about us jay walking
He said i can take you to jail for that.
We bust out laughing..
Then he took flew around the corner but we just walked away between apartment buildings and got away..
I would of had a criminal record..
