One of Larken Rose's best cop videos.

Larken is OG wake AF.

[PAF]

Every time somebody I knew got nailed for parking or speeding they would get upset, bitch and complain, but then turn around and donate to leo fundraisers. That’s some weird $#@!.

Deputy Christopher Morgan...

1300 DUI arrests

What a Great Officer!

Note that at about 10:00 into the video, the driver, twice, crosses a solid white line making his right turn. I think that's 2 violations right there, in our wondrous regulated State. My daughter was hassled years ago for turning right but not into the right-most lane, crossing a solid white line in the process.

I still agree with the video's premise, though.

It's a miracle that noone got hurt.

If a person asserts their rights they stand no chance. If he went to court and submitted his video he would be found at fault for an illegal turn. Even if the person had done nothing wrong and that could be proven by the video, the guy was detained and would have to bow down to a gown or risk incarceration for contempt. Lose lose. This person was driving responsibly considering the conditions. When no traffic is to be found, staying in a particular lane serves no purpose.

Is the driving in this next video acceptable?

That is how I drive when I'm late for a flight.

I ran into one of those one,,, long ago.
Guy had some unholy "juju",,, and over 60 busts in two months..

He stole my Hash.
and I busted him.

The bust is NOT on my record,, but my Honorable Discharge is. (they were co-related)

I agree. My point is that there are too many laws on the books, which allows LEOs to find something, or utilize your own records (video) to get you for something. 3 felonies/day...

Is the driving in this next video acceptable?

In my opinion, no. I've always been amused at how these faster drivers think they're so independent and superior to the schmucks around them, and yet they're highly dependent on these same schmucks to do nothing unpredictable. I'm an advocate of keeping pace with traffic, and leaving the left lane clear.

I think it was George Carlin who says "everyone who drives faster than you is an A$$40L3, everyone who driver slower is an idiot."

Should what you and I consider dangerous driving be allowed or not allowed? Do we want some laws?

Unfortunately what is considered by some to be dangerous can be highly subjective and to easily used as leverage for Injustice.

yes we should all look out for one another but that should be common sense not law

[pcosmar]

Did it harm you? Did it cause damage?

If not,, then it is none of anyone's business what you consider it,, nor should a law be written based on your consideration of a NON Event.

Firing a gun blindfolded into a crowd and not hitting anyone is dangerous. To think that dangerous actions like the driving video above should only be an issue if someone is hurt or damage is caused is absurd. I do not think Ron Paul, Rand Paul or Thomas Massie would agree with you.

Dangerous driving is invasive violence.

"Dangerous" is subjective.

The German AutoBahns have sections that do not have speed limits. Drivers routinely hit cruising speeds of 150 MPH or more.

The exact same car, on the exact same type of road, driven by the exact same driver, would result in arrest and impoundment, here.

Why?

Is the car, driver or driver's actions any less "safe" or any more "dangerous"?

Especially when you consider that German roads are statistically safer than ours.

Now, certainly the driver and their actions make a difference.

But why should I be held to the lowest possible standard? Driving 100 mph down the road for a teenager finger $#@!ing a phone while driving mom's SUV on bad tires is not going to be as safe as me driving 100 mph with no distractions in a new Mercedes S class sedan.

The making of distinctions such as this requires the application of something called "judgment" - a practice that has been systematically deprecated as an obstacle to the official codification-by-fiat of ... well, of pretty much everything ...

You (or the Pauls, Massie, et al.) may disagree with it or think it imprudent, but it is not "absurd".

It is simply an application of the "no harm, no foul" principle ...

[oyarde]

Of course they are predators , that is the job . That is the job the head of police , city and county councils have them do . They are only there as a cash cow.

[Suzanimal]

I do not feel protected and served when I get pulled over.

Hey, that cop he talked about in the video getting the award - was that the animal lover cop from last week?

[Stratovarious]

There are some great cops out there, they
are likely the ones that cheated during
psychological evaluations/exams.

Very much this.

Liberty is not the safest course.

It is the best course however.

I would agree that some good individuals have taken that Job..

But the job itself is inherently evil.. Those people either leave or become corrupted.

What an Absurd Straw-man..

That is not even close to an intelligent argument,, though I doubt there is one for this.
