@@alexbarquist5050 Pennsyl-tucky as I call it.. If you own a car or motorized vehicle you shortly will learn the true police state we are in. There are NO cool cops, unless your dad or sweet old uncle is a cop, even they their have moments.. PA cops are cool..??! SMH..
@@bunnyhnt Not true at all lol. I’ve never been pulled over in 15 years of driving and all my interactions with police as an adult except for one have been exceptional.
Except us Americans don't know how to drive. While I was visiting Germany, people were actually courteous on the road and they didn't block the left lane. For some reason Americans feel like they own the road and are entitled to drive however they want.
+Frank Burns I know it's complicated, but in most of North America, there is no law that says you can't travel in the left lane. You are only required to move right if you are being overtaken.
+Frank Burns It has nothing to do with signage. Read your State/Provincial traffic act and State/Provincial Transportation Authority regulations. You will find no law to the effect you mention in *most* States/Provinces. I've had this confirmed by a Paralegal for the Province of Ontario. I have, however, read somewhere that many of the States are expected to make travelling in the left lane a federal offence, which would be a good thing. I believe it is currently a moving violation in something like 7 States, and I assume you must reside in one of them. The other 43 have no such law. As for your example of slamming on your brakes in front of a semi, there is no law preventing you from making an emergency stop. If the semi hits you after doing so, it is 100% the semi's fault for following too closely. Cutting into the truck's buffer zone and THEN slamming on the brakes is a different story, as that is an improper lane change and probably also a careless driving charge. Besides, I've never heard of someone making an emergency stop "for no reason". It is the following vehicles responsibility to ensure they have ample space to stop, regardless of why. "Common sense" and "courtesy" have no bearing on law, whatsoever, as they are considered interpretations of law, which is the duty of a JP, not private citizens.. In fact, many things people consider driving "courtesies" are illegal in Ontario, such as waving someone through traffic out of a private roadway (impersonating a traffic authority) or backing off to let someone squeeze into your lane *from the right* (improper use of passing lane). It may surprise you to find that YOUR interpretations of traffic laws have ZERO weight in court.
No, what surprises me is that you think you know what you're talking about. I assure you it's utter horseshit. Arrogance + ignorance is a deadly combination, Corky.
@@IntrebuloN 5 years late but there are most certainly laws that say you can't sit in the passing lane. Just like there are laws that say you can't jaywalk.
Well..in Finland and some other Nordic countries the fine is based on how much money you make. So for rich people a speeding ticket can be tens of thousands of dollars.
It's the points on their licenses that would get them. They're realistically paying like 1000 bucks per ticket for a lawyer so they can beat it instead.
These guys are smart. Complying with the cops, joking with them, being pleasant. That's how you don't end up getting pulled out and beaten half to death, or shot. So often when that happens and you watch the tape you see the driver trying to argue with the cop or whatever. Save that shit for court or, if you have the money, a decent lawyer. More often than not, just showing up to fight a ticket is an instant dismissal anyways.
3:07 the State Police department put out a BOLO (Be on the lookout) so they purposely stacked them, also they are the State Police lol. They don't really go to house calls haha.
sillver0100 That's pretty obvious. Look, all the guy was saying is that the guys knew how to handle cops, that they were being pleasant with them and being respectful. Which get's you out and going quicker rather than arguing and taking a chance that the argument gets heated and who knows what happens after that. _Nobody said anything about going for an officers gun..._
You got to love Michigan highway patrol.... Hundreds of millions of dollars in their budget and they're still using the light dome from Smokey and the bandit.
+No yes (to your name) but that part was gold! passively listening to this video and glancing over then i hear that and lold pretty good had to hear it again
radar dectors are illegal in two states in the US. jammers can be easily hidden but are pretty expensive compared to a detector not that a guy with a 100k+ car would care
It seems like you would win these races if you just went the speed limit. I know that's not as fun, but with the time spent being pulled over, it might be faster. Classic tortoise and the hare situation.
They'll get pulled over anyways. I know, it doesn't matter if you're not speeding they'll scan you and pull you anyways for any other citation they can find (Not moving over to a certain lane or whatever).
My wife and I went on a recent trip and took both vehicles. I set the cruise at 79. She passed me like I was standing still. About an hour later I passed her (she was in the fast lane doing about 55 while messing with her on-board computer/radio). She never even noticed me. A half hour later she blew by me like I was standing still again. This went on for 8 hours. I made it to our destination 20 minutes ahead of her. She is a horrible driver. I do not let her drive my truck. If I had a critical injury I would rather call UBER to take me to the emergency room than let her drive me. My Sisters are both great drivers, but my Wife is a menace when she gets behind the wheel. She just cant keep her eyes off of her electronic devices, or even maintain speed. You would think a 56 yr old woman who has had numerous wrecks would know better! She has inconvenienced many innocent drivers, cost us and others a ton of money, I just hope she never hurts anybody. She is a nice Woman until she turns the key, she then morphs into a selfish, aggressive bitch. Is this normal female behavior?
@@paulh7589 This is the kind of speeding that actually worries me. I don't think the kind of speeding done intentionally and with full attention on the road by skilled drivers is a problem. Unfortunately, some police officers see all speeders as like your wife. Some officers do seem to get the distinction though and give warnings when they can.
11 years after still seeing this video I will come back to watch. Rob you were the best. You’re responsible and respectable now but these are what made you!
The Michigan State Police still uses them but they are upgraded to an LED version. It's a nostalgic thing. I also believe they use the illuminated "STOP" sign on the hood for cross traffic.
Rob has a license in North or South Carolina can't remember which, and that state doesn't have reciprocity. Meaning a ticket in another state means nothing to his own state.
literally you just mail the ticket to a lawyer and its turned into a parking ticket. plus different states, and they may have 0 points depending on how severe the fine.
Jack Hecked Still does not give them the right to overlook others doing wrong. United States law enforcement is complete shit and always will be because they are crooked as hell.
Patrick Douglas I won't deny that at all US Law Enforcement is crooked at all levels. It take me back to a time where I got ticket for passing a red light back some 20 years ago. The guy behind went as well, when I asked the cop why I got pulled over instead of the guy behind me who clearly blow the light more so then me he said " I felt like pulling you over" I am glad I drive with a dash cam now that has audio record enabled.
Patrick Douglas The citizens still hold the power. but not for long. We really need to band together to get rid of this disgusting government that has nearly enslaved all Americans. Time is running short brothers!
and also obama and the democratic party has created this atnosphere of racism and racial warfare. its all democrat propoganda and bullshit mixed in a bucket with the piss of lies in the modern school system. abe lincoln was unconstitutional by throwing southern soldiers in jail without a fair trial. and obama has the worst staristical rating of any president ever

Because he's in pa in the video, it's a common law state so cops feel they can do what ever they want. Was just stopped couple of days ago for literally passing a cop twice, buddy got a weed dui but he's gonna beat the charges cause of the cops no reason for stopping as well as he didn't inform my friend of his chemical test rights so the blood test results will be thrown out and thus the case
michigan's no joke. my license is revoked denied. That means it is a lifetime suspension. Still drive anyway, what are they going to do suspend it more, lol.
Speeding is dangerous? Explain how the autobahn has a lower death rate than the thruway system in the United States that has speed limits? Want to lower death rates on our thruway? make it illegal to drive in the left lane unless passing and eliminate speed limits. Problem solved. They wouldn't need to weave in and out of traffic if this country would enforce the slow poke laws and heavily ticket assholes that drive slow in the left lane! Think it's acceptable to drive slow in the left lane? Wear a shirt that says that so people purposely walk slow in front of you and prevent you from moving any faster...ten bucks says you will start complaining real quick.
+Ripped Camel The problem here is people are largely unaware that they are required by law to move to the right when being overtaken by faster traffic. People that do the exact speed limit (or lower) in the left lane think they are improving safety and do not realize that they are the leading cause of collisions in North America.
+Chris Castrejon He doesn't work with law enforcement so he isn't held to higher standards. And he would be pulled over and fined for it so don't even try it. I get your they are only human angle but it isn't really a valid point.
Your encounter with a Michigan cop was pretty chill. I got pulled out of my car for doing 55 in a 50 zone. I was respectful af when he pulled me over too😂
+TheDct88 That's a staple of Michigan State Police. You get tired of looking at those things pretty quick especially when you see them every 2 miles every day.
As someone who grew up in NJ and dealt with his share of a$$hole state troopers there...I must point out that this video is pretty darn accurate as far as PA State Police go...they tend to be very nice and laid back folks. They might not always give you a break, but at least for me my experiences with them have always been as pleasant as they can be given the situation. Not to mention that enforcement in PA is generally very lax....great state for speeders. :) Now watch part 4 if you want to get a taste of what NJ troopers are like...
I moved to Pennsylvania from New Jersey about six years ago and it is night and day . The Pennsylvania troopers are very cool they don't pull anybody over. If you're not driving like a complete jackass they leave you alone here . IDrive about 3500 miles a year on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and do 80 miles an hour consistently every day and have never been pulled over and very rarely see anybody pulled over . As long as you're not driving crazy and not speeding in a school zone or a construction zone they pretty much leave you alone they are very very cool here
I don't get the point of what they r doing. Driving fast just to get pulled over and over again, to pay a ticket. That seems pretty stupid to me. There's a cop everywhere and they're aware of it but yet they r still doing the same thing in the same place.
For the fun and glory. Various groups who do this also can also yield some revenue which is donated to a charity (so they say). When I still had friends we used to pool money, sent it to someone a state or two over and whoever gets there first kept it. It was very fun like a scavenger hunt. Everyone has their hobbies.
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 99.9% sure this is the Gumball Rally event. NYC to LA. Originally an AWESOME movie that became an organized event. The reason the cops are every 2 miles along the routes is that the organizers of this event let the cops know they're coming through sometimes, but PDs can just look up the event info and find the route and post up their patrol cars to rake in that sweet, sweet funding. Errr, not funding, speed taxes....I mean tickets!
It's actually Bullrun, I ended up watching the rest of the videos in this series. Bullrun is like a poor mans GumBall, and is confined to the US and only lasts about a week.
I just had to re-watch these episodes. This is what made me subscribe to your channel. You all were nuts back then, and I'm so surprised I didn't run across yall driving through Michigan. I can imagine how much those tickets were OMG 🤣😂 good stuff 👏🏽
So I'm confused how these gentlemen can constantly get tickets with no arrests or license suspension. Cause mine sure as hell has been suspended. Could someone please enlighten me?
Sigh, though money is involved (they have to pay the tickets), it is not the reason they don't get in greater trouble. Certain states do not count out-of-state traffic violations as points on your license. However like Emilean Cailean said, Rob has had his license suspended before (mentioned in Best Cop Moments 5). Also, a Radar detector is an excellent investment, unless of course you live in the only state that deems them illegal....(VA, where I live).
I am from Michigan and i have never heard that in my life if you don't have 100$ dollars they cant take your license, they can issue you a ticket. and if you end up not paying within the giving time 14 days or whatever then they can issue a request from the persons state to take their license. you're welcome
+Christopher Comstock it's for out of state people that get tickets only. If you are in state they don't need collateral to insure you take care of your ticket. You're welcome.
Lol, it is law in Michigan, however almost all states require that you possess a license while driving. You can actually call your state DMV and have them wave their right to possess your license till fine is paid.
Many times in 50 years driving a Porsche I have been pulled over for speeding. Many of those times I wasn't speeding.. #1 , I was within 6 miles of the speed limit, BUT, I was in a RED Porsche 911.and the Police Officer stated " you probably speed anyway" . WRONG ! I watch my speed! Kicked out in court! #2 I was about 5th in a convoy of about 8 / 10 cars on the I 285 in Atlanta, Ga freeway Police Officer pulls up beside me and directs me to pull over. I ask why? He stated "your driving a Red Porsche" Enough Said. #3 I WAS SPEEDING on I 285 to Northside Hospital in MY RED PORSCHE, in Atlanta, Ga as my 1st born nephew was dying. This wonderful Officer gave me an escort w/ lights to the hospital. I got there in time for his last breaths. Thank You Sir ! I just wish I had got your name! GOD Bless You SIR !!
The price of tickets really should be subjective instead of just a flat rate. If a poor person got this many tickets they would be paying them off for years, but it doesn't even matter for rich people.
Alt Hymers So what you are saying is that if I bust my ass off and become a Doctor I should have to pay more then lets say my friend that dropped out of high school and lives off the government? Right.... -.- CAUSE THAT MAKES PERFECT FUCKING SENSE TO ME 0.O!
I completely disagree with you bro. People shouldn't have different punishments for the same crime. That's like saying If two people are convicted of the same murder charge, one of them goes to jail for 25 years and the other has to go for 50 years.
I love youtube videos of cops, this ensures people see how the cops really act and keep these cops in check. A cop acts differently when he knows he's being filmed over no evidence, especially if the video evidence isn't being controlled by the cop. Cameras, a cops kryptonite.
+annoythedonkey They live in states that don't have reciprocity and get the tickets out of state. They pay the ticket and it never goes on their license in the state they live in.
+Oatsmon That, and I believe they put this on their Company Insurance through Gotham Dream Cars, but I could be wrong. I know that, if this was MY insurance, they'd drop me after 3 or 4, lol. So I can't imagine that it's personal insurance. It has to be through the company.
Vladpryde I almost wonder if he doesn't pay one of those companies that fight tickets or get them dropped My mom had a friend that was a trucker and he mentioned it to me a time or two and said they were a real life saver!
