What's so "graphic" about this video, besides the title?

[Xx-pofu]

Why was this video even posted, it showed nothing.

[twwtb]

Was there a gun? I couldn't tell from this video.

I was stopped the other day for speeding. Had my dashcam and phone recording inwards just in case. Had my driver's license on me, didn't have my insurance and didn't have my registration - that was a dumb on me. Was out of there in 10 minutes with a speeding ticket and a warning for not having my registration on me. I'm just saying, it does not need to get difficult. Why argue with high-strung armed men when you can make deals with an overworked prosecutor.

Red flags of a "Sovereign Citizen ".

Had it rolled down its windows, provided ID, and signed a ticket, it would be alive and in court telling a judge it was a sovereign citizen.

Sorry, I don’t have jurisdiction to leave a comment

[naturistfred]

That guy was totally and utterly brainwashed by his parents.

[johnholliday]

I guess he showed that cop, huh? Dumb.

[FarginhoodMcBastage]

Sovereign is just another word for dumb.

If you're the driver and you feel that you've been treated unfairly you can lodge a complaint with the police department, seek legal counsel or contact a news agency. The reason you cooperate and then appeal to a third party is because you can't assume that you yourself is evaluating the situation objectively.

Mr Sovereign Citizen overplayed his hand…The only tragedy I can think of is the Officers who have to live with knowing they took the life of a combative knucklehead.

[Ridesmule]

Yea well maybe it’s just me but I’d rather contest my ticket in court.

[briansalisbury]

Why does anyone stopped who knowingly committed a violation not just cooperate.

[vladimirputindreadlockrast]

Once he said the officer did not have the authority to stop and detain him, game over.

[legacyjeetkunedo]

The driver literally asked for what he got. People who believe they are beyond the law are a danger to society.

[marcusa.rivera]

So were is the gun? Is not on the video. ???

Meanwhile:

I've never been ticketed despite being stopped by very strict officers. I just try to make them laugh... way better strategy!

The best one was a HighwayPatrol officer that caught me making a pass around a semi, but barely clipped the end of the pass zone line merging back in. When he asked "why do you think I pulled you over?"
I replied, "because I was too slow... I was rocking back and forth officer, but this little 4 cylinder has less power than my lawn mower!"

The man about fell over. After he wiped his eyes, he told me to get out of there and try to keep my beast under 100.

I drove a 90s Saturn... it couldn't do 100 going down hill!

I've been driving (not traveling) for almost 50 years. Pulled over more times than I can recall and I'm still alive to talk about it. I've always had my driver's license, insurance and registration ready and waiting for the officer by the time they arrive at my car window. Sometimes I get a ticket, most times I'm given a warning. Conversations have always been professional and polite. Why should it be otherwise? Unless you have something to hide.

[BGRANTX]

Those cops just saved everyone 500 conversations about corporations and made up laws.
