I'd be shocked if the street racing charge wasn't dropped seeing they can't prove that he was racing. They can possibly prove speeding and reckless, but not racing.

So the arresting officer is on the phone and says, "I'll talk to you when I'm not hot." That means NOT ON CAMERA. How's that for transparency folks?

Motorcycles run from the cops all the time this guy showed you respect and stopped and waited for you. He was respectful and apologetic. You could’ve written him for excessive speed and let him go on his way. This is totally ridiculous.

This is why most bikers run. They know they're going to get nothing but aggression and antagonism and the cop is going to try to charge them with everything he possibly can. Easier to just run, stopping is a favor.

This is the dumbest arrest for “street racing” I’ve ever seen. I seriously doubt someone was street racing with another person on the back of their bike. Sounds like the officer that made the stop was salty he didn’t get both riders and was head hunting. A citation would’ve resolved this entire issue and then some. Poor excuse of discretion.

Cop have done some horrific things and got little to no consequences. This was minor in comparison. Crooked cops are all over Florida.

Just stating the obvious but the cop that pulled the bike over also admitted on camera to going 50 in what turned out to be a roadway with a 40 mph speed limit. Hes not exempt from the law while traveling without lights and sirens.

Don't see how that cop could even see out that dirty windshield 🧐

[billmiller]

Here's an idea for the THE F OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES!!!!You have the idiot pulled over so there is NO reason to block traffic

[stevenpate]

Its great how they stand there in slience for 2 minutes trying to decide to let him go or take him to jail, can u imagine your life is in the hands of somebody that can make a decision like that, ? Crazy

[stevenpate]

Youre gonna look really cool when you show up at the police station with a fellow officer and all your peers say, what did he do? And you have to say racing which youre not even sure if he was or not

[infamouszxnicky]

Wow! This is some cops with a power trip! He was respectful and they didn’t even clock his speed! They seemed to get off on the fact that he’s a cop!

[AllTheCritters]

The cop was mad because he couldn’t catch the other bike so he took it out on the one that stopped for him.

[babyjane]

Off the subject but that sky is amazing 😍don’t really see many sunsets like that in the uk 🤣

[jillgibson]

I ride all the time and with a girl on the back him stopping and being polite he was not racing wheres the proof if he was racing he wouldn't be in this situation he would be long gone with the cop in the dust....

[NsyShwl]

Yes it's not safe what he was doing but you have to respect the fact that he didn't take off and possibly make it worse..

[TellTheTruth]

If the off duty officer had been drinking or truly racing, I could see the reason for an arrest. However I don't understand why the arrest, ticket maybe, arrest, NO! He was cooperating, respectful, showing off for his girl on his new bike, on date night, let the man go.

I do hope the kid won’t just fold when the D.A. says, “Because you didn’t resist I’m gonna drop this one & that one.” [The 2 charges that mean nothing] His attorney would beat this because the cop can only guess the speed. No radar so what the hell bro. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Mugwump]

Meh, give him his ticket. He probably won’t do it again.
