I can only assume this person found alive upon arrival would signify mission failure. Relative would probably sue you as well for breaking T&C of your service.
I used to work for this company. The guy Brian in the video is no longer the owner or affiliated with the company at all.. for good reason. When I left in January last year, it was the best company I’ve worked for. None of the guys are whackers or any Jeremy Dewitte types. None of them have R/B lights on their personal vehicles or anything. The attitude is much different than anything Dewitte portrays. No one acts like a cop or tries to portray any more authority than the state allows. It was a fun job.
@@Riverrockphotos and do what with the lights? All this does is legally allow you to have them. Not use them when you want. You can only use them during a funeral procession. If you’re going to use them for nefarious reasons, then whether or not you’re approved to have them doesn’t really matter.
"For good reason"? Going by this video it seems like he actually wanted the law to prohibit red & blue lights & sirens on funeral escort vehicles (unless you're referring to the fact that his company was named "Central Traffic Enforcement" & thus trying to seem like a law enforcement agency).
@@TheCarson116 he wanted to make it more strict to stomp out competition. He was trying to get my involved in it speaking at the capitol building but I declined. He left the company for other reasons however.
@@michaelt.9372 Oh, really? Didn't he know that that likely would have affected _his_ company too? "other reasons"? Okay (doesn't really explain why you said "for good reasons" but okay).
***AND HELLO JEREMY DEWITTE!!!! KING OF KINGS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE ACTS, BUT HE WAS IN FLORIDA*** Thankfully he was arrested on many charges, but was a vary extremely bad guy impersonating police, moving violations & many others.
We have also investigated costs and collaboration between upfitters and law enforcement, there are huge dollars being paid for warning lights, sirens and equipment. In Connecticut the entire state police force is less marked than the funeral escort vehicles shown in this story.
It's a thing in most areas, at least over here though the training is rigorous as your trained to the same level as a standard full time firefighter. You're also given a badge that says 'Volunteer Firefighter' if you ever get stopped cause by law here if you have it on and you show the badge to the Officer pulling you over, you immediately are released. Over here you are also allowed to have sirens also and can break as many traffic laws as you want while heading to station for the call, and it's impossible for the Officer to confirm if you are responding to an actual call as the fire department, and police department use different radio channels, and the Officers gets the calls to his MDT, and just labels him self as responding on his CAD
@@flipperbooch2194 In most cases yes but in other places where Purple is illegal to use as an emergency light color, they have to settle with something different
If that funeral escort guy really cares about that crap he wouldn’t have almost every light in America, and orange lights but that really depends on state.
If the state allows it and they follow the rules. Who gives a shit. Clearly the funeral job is for a reason. Now if you're using those lights and licenses to pull people over, then obviously that would be a concern and most likely illegal.
Seems like he is upset that there isn't a state power requiring people make it a business only. If someone wants to start and compete they should be able to
What in God's name do you need red and blue lights and a siren for? The person in the hearse is dead time is no longer of the essence. Whether you get to the cemetery in 5 minutes or 35 minutes the end result is exactly the same the person is still dead.
Because a funny with your background checks.just because somebody have the record does not mean there are messed up individual. There are people without recordsthat do stuff to not supposed to and they get away with it or somebody sweeps it under the rug or whatever so all that background checks they can miss me with that!
@@christiansantamaria7233 if they are dead, getting to the funeral home faster is not going to make them come alive. Only true EMERGENCIES can disregard red signals, and even they have to be safe and not have an accident.
@@christiansantamaria7233 non American here. Thanks to internet I learnt a funeral in America needs flashing lights and sirens escorts as if it's a president motorcade coming. FUNERAL IS NOT AN EMERGENCY!! FOLLOW THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND RULES. I ALSO WOULD STILL RESPECT TRAFFIC LIGHTS EVEN IF IT'S MY PARENTS FUNERAL.
@@christiansantamaria7233 Bruh they're dead. Waiting a few minutes longer isn't gonna change anything other than their coffins being a little warmer. Literally zero difference. The lights and sirens are unnecessary and spit in the face of real emergencies being responded to by real emergency responders. Just because you're carrying a dead person doesn't make you above the law or allowed to play "cop" for a few hours.
If you're doing funeral escort. You need the emergency lighting to control traffic. You think people are gonna yield to your amber lights? Get real. I don't see a issue with this at ALL SO AS LONG as the person with the license is actually conducting business and not just playing wannabe cop.
Yes, they know. But the whole point is that it's *too easy* to become an escort vehicle under the law. The man just wants there to be more vetting protocols in place so that not just anyone can become an "escort officer." There needs to be more proper verification, is what he's saying.
Hyperbole ! There is no such thing as the right to break the law. FYI, Police, Ambulance, and Fire Equipment must stop at a red light before proceeding. And you can have whatever lights you want on your private owned vehicle, unless you're pulling people over. Then you can be arrested and charged with impersonating a police officer. You can run your red and blue lights on private property. Not on public property.
If Cops driving cop cars like they should be, there wouldn't be impersonators. Trapping people for speeding with unmarked cars isn't about serving the community. When a police system is trying to write as many tickets as they can by the end of the month or whatever. People open your eyes
So, you guys are propping up this Hawkins guy cuz he doesnt want competition. And you crap on the sheriffs office, via hidden camera, to make them look bad. I have to wonder, what training does it take to read the news with feigned indifference? BTW Mr Hawkins.....love the sergeants chevrons on your sleeve.
