The line "These ARE my own words. I wrote it." is absolutely incredible.

"Are you stupid or corrupt?" is pretty much a perfect mic drop moment.

5:25 Story 8: The officer just admitted to routinely falsifying his Log book. This has just brought into questin the validity of every single case he has been involved in.

Story 10 was indeed badass lol
- Reads book
- Gets asked to put passage in his own words
- "these are my words. I wrote this book"

- Wears shades and Thug life plays in the background or something

Love the Mexican Restaurant one most😂"Yeah, I- Oh." Yeah. OH.
But also love the lawyer that worked on the weekend to tear experts apart, the freakin EMPTY BINDERS, eight words, and arm wrestling. That arm wrestling one is WILD

I work with preschoolers…”they argued 10 minutes with a 4 year old” made me unexpectedly cackle 😂😂

Very refreshing to have stories like these that aren't just a text to speech. I listen to these while drawing and listening to an actual person talk and occasionally give input is infinitely better than the usual

5:09 “Ah- You smelled alcohol on the defendant’s breath? With that heavy wind, from that far away, through that level of rainfall, localized *entirely* through a three-inch crack!?”

“…Yes!”


In this skit the title could still be ‘Steamed Hams’ because that cop got cooked

[TheTobyOMG]

46:50 I get it. I hate drunk driving but the fault lies on the officer who abused his power. It's a lose - lose situation but a corrupt officer is way more dangerous than a drunk driver.

Story 31 makes me think of when Megatron was yelling at Starscream saying "YOU ARE EITHER LYING OR YOU'RE STUPID!"

[thescholarsjourney]

Story 31: The technique being mentioned here is probably the Reid technique. Essentially, they pull you into admitting it by acting like either you already did or there's just no question about it. It's really, REALLY easy to get a false confession using the Reid technique if you aren't REALLY careful.

Story 37 something happened similarly to me. Was driving a friend home from my house and had a moth hit my windshield and my wipers didnt clean the guts off so i pulled over and started cleaning it off with a napkin and a water bottle. A cop pulled up while i was cleaning the moth off and made me get into my car, ran my liscense, got us out of the car, searched my car, ran me through field sobriety tests, and eventually ticketed me for no seatbelt worn before telling me to leave and put my seatbelt on. Went to court had dashcam video (interior/exterior video dashcam) and my passenger's statement of events provided to the judge and my ticket was tossed out and judge didnt seem too pleased with the situation. (Seatbelts worn by both of us until i got out to clean the moth off after pulling over and parking which was before the office pulled up behind me. Then the camera shows the officer pull up and order me into my vehicle before he approached my car all while having his lights on.) Few years ago the whole department was closed as it was found after an investigation many officers pulled over high end or nice looking vehicles at night and searched them illegally always using the excuse the reason for the stop was "suspicious persons/vehicle matching the description" and drivers were being ticketed with things that would be dismissed pretty easily when the cops couldnt find anything to arrest the person on. Things looked normal until you dug into the various stops being performed and saw that there was an unusually high amount of times the generic "suspicious vehicle/person matching description" excuse was used for initiating a traffic stop.

If police body cam information is lost or deleted, it must be assumed that it would have proven corruption by the police.

[ImpofRelentlessness]

Story 6: There's a massive difference in the cost of the fine between a speeding ticket (usually up to 10mph over speed limit) and reckless driving (which you'll almost always get for 15+mph over the speed limit to the tune of about $300 in most states, so at least he got out of the reckless driving charge.

[syrefayne]

The guy with a bunch of empty binders was great 😂😂 (story 23)

[rayhatesu]

46:50 Okay, but you have to understand one thing Undersparked, there are several ways of tripping a breathalyzer without having been driving under the influence, including using mouthwash within minutes of being pulled over. The information given in the post isn't enough to go on for if the person in Story 37 actually was drunk driving or not, only that the case had reason to be thrown out on Fourth Amendment grounds. As far as the lawyer in question may have known, his client could have been fully innocent anyway or been guilty as sin, but given it wasn't relevant to the case, they didn't bother arguing it, nor did they share that with us due to A) attorney-client privilege and B) it not being relevant to the story outside of that being what the cop put him away for after the traffic stop.

My favorite was my own as a pro se civil litigant. One of the lawyers for my adversary openly blurted out and admitted the exact fact that as THE dispositive fact under the law proved to be a slam-dunk for me. I quietly stated “I rest my case”, sat down and shut up. The transcript is a tour de force of a divorced single mom appearing pro se against her ex who was armed with 2 very high-profile, expensive lawyers and my prevailing against them in open court with a packed seated gallery, standing-room only remaining (full of lawyers packing the “pews” and lining the walls standing shoulder-to shoulder), on the record, and the judge telling my adversary and his lawyers that I was more competent and better prepared than any lawyer I could have retained had I had enough money to hire one. That as 39 years ago and still satisfies. I treasure that transcript.

2:32 this guy was a real sport. Good for him for owning up and moving forward on a positive note.

[Veemon]

story 16 they definitely threw him a bone for agreeing they were in the wrong and decided not to waste their time, show's that sometimes agreeing a hill isn't worth dying on will will get you some mercy

The restaurant case has 2 issues, one: how the f*** is kitchen cleaning waste getting onto the shop floor? Either the building is not fit for purpose, or the staff need retraining. And 2: why do the company think they shouldnt need to pay the staff for the hours they work? If it takes 3 hours to clean the kitchen, then that needs to be included in wages.
