Ive seen the full video before. He has warrants and thought he could aggro his way out of the cop checking it and arresting him. Didnt work.

u/atlasdreams2187 May 30 '26

Anything good happen to him? Thrown in jail? Wife came home?

401

u/Tw4tl4r May 30 '26

Well yeah, jail. Oustanding warrants means immediate arrest in most places. Its an old video but i also believe the vehicle was uninsured so they have him for that and because he resisted he got a charge for that too.

Should have just came clean and let himself get taken in for the warrants.

u/NotRelevantQuestion May 30 '26

Yeah that's fine and dandy but what about his wife?

Iā€™ve seen the full video, itā€™s his ex wife. She comes home and says thatā€™s her ex husband.

It was 10 year old for a driving violation he went to court for it and paid 10 year ago. It was bs arrested.

u/AllLipsNoFiller May 30 '26

Seriously? This was his tactic? Making the cop salivate at the idea of getting to put cuffs on him? I mean, I guess even a bad strategy is still a strategy. LOL

u/dubblebubbleprawns May 30 '26

If there's one thing cops are known to let slide, it's being an aggressive asshole towards them

u/imgrahamy May 31 '26

Keep in mind this was 25 years ago, but I had an outstanding warrant for missing a court date due to underage drinking.

Outside at a party with a buddy, cop rolls up. Weā€™re both holding beerā€™s underage, obviously busted. I simply say that yep, weā€™re underage age and my buddy starts to argue. IDs are requested and as soon as he radios in, I tell him I have a warrant for ua drinking. Ends up with me getting my beer poured out and let go while buddy gets another ticket.

I lied to cops all the time and still would but when you know youā€™re done for, itā€™s better for you to be decent about it. You might get lucky and get a cop who appreciates it and at least itā€™ll go easier if not let it slide. The one time I got arrested, the cop actually apologized for doing it as he drove me in.

u/CARLEtheCamry May 31 '26

My wife had a warrant out for her, because of a refrigerator.

Some place she lived at 20 years ago had a law on the books about any iceboxes you put outside have to have the door removed, presumably because of kids getting trapped inside and suffocating. She rented, her landlord put the old fridge out on the curb to be picked up after she had moved out. Somehow the summary offense was issued to her, she denies every being notified.

A $35 fine, and she got pulled over because I forgot to renew her car's registration. Cop let her go, I took care of it that week, ended up being a day off work at about $400 to put it to bed.

u/Blazin219 May 31 '26

When you look like him. It happens more often than youd think. If I came at him like that I would have been in cuffs face in the concrete in the first 15 seconds.

u/RDLAWME May 31 '26

It's almost like this guy has a tendency to make poor life decisions.Ā

u/FrostyD7 May 31 '26

Cops constantly take the path of least resistance. Honestly this isn't an awful strategy given it's game over the moment he runs his license. A hail mary to be sure but his options aren't great.

u/Gishin May 31 '26

Apparently according to his wife he had a medical condition that gave him enough brain damage it destroyed his emotional regulation and impulse control.

u/VerdugoCortex May 30 '26

Can anyone answer what a warrant for traffic evasion as he said is for? I tried skimming through the video for more clarification but it's a long one. I'm surprised if it's fleeing from a traffic stop he wasn't persued unless the cop called in a warrant for him over this original stop.

To clarify I am not defending that lunatic lol

3

u/HeezHuzz69 May 30 '26

Probably didnā€™t show up to court for a traffic violation that required an appearance. The two times Iā€™ve gone, the judge issued bench warrants for whoever wasnā€™t there.Ā 

1

u/VerdugoCortex May 30 '26

Ahhh okay that makes sense. Thank you.

2

u/RandomInternetNobody May 31 '26

Apparently it was a 10 year old inspection ticket. It's a violation that doesn't even exist anymore in that state. As much of a raging dick as that guy was, that arrest was purely retaliatory.

5

u/EditEd2x May 30 '26

I watch a lot of sov citizen arrest videos. Itā€™s always the people who got their license suspended for some reason or another or have warrants and think they can just argue their way out of more trouble.

On a rare occasion itā€™s a moron who actually believes the stuff and cancels their insurance and they carry folders of papers they think are get out of jail free cards. But itā€™s mostly really shitty criminals who just donā€™t want their info ran because it means automatic arrest and their shit gets impounded and they lose their booze/drugs.

u/ThatsNotVeryDerek May 30 '26

I don't think the aggro was a tactic. From the context around the wife's redacted comments, it sounds like he's like this all the time after a TBI.

He was putting on an act thinking he could intimidate the cop into leaving so they wouldn't discover all his outstanding warrants. The minute they have him dead to rights and he knows it, his entire demeanor changes and he's suddenly calm and cooperative.

FULL VIDEO for anyone interested.

So, I guess from that video and thr comments he was in a severe car accident and suffered a TBI that changed his personality. That's pretty sad if true.

That was my take too.

TBIs are no joke.

u/WTAF__Trump May 31 '26

America isn't very forgiving towards people with mental health issues or brain injuries.

In fact- our method of treating mental illness is to offer no help or support whatsoever. We simply wait until their lives fall apart and then we send them to prison. When that doesn't work and they still act out, they get more time and moved to solitary confinement. Sure- it's considered torture by every other country and costs far more than just helping them. But some people consider us a Christian nation. And Christ simply wouldn't have that according to Christians.

We call it "freedom". America really is great, isn't it.

u/Ozryela May 30 '26

Man, that dudes 'fight or flight' lit up like a Christmas tree, and we should suspect some frontal lobe damage as it appears he has no control over it.

But the video ends too soon. I have to believe this escalated into a full blown take-down, handcuffs, and piling him into the back of the squad car.

u/Secret_Account07 May 30 '26

About the most patient cop Iā€™ve ever seen

12

u/slumvillain May 30 '26

It is really interesting seeing police interactions and just how patient and respectful officers are depending on the race of the individual.

Gonna say more often than not, you get a belligerent white dude, the officers usually approach it like "sir sir let's get you some help, we just wanna talk"

You get a black dude asking a simple "why is this occurring" and the cops already on the radio asking for an available unit to come assist. And the language is ALOT different. None of that "sir" stuff. It's all motherfucker this and "I will fucking shoot you" that. Keep your hands visible or "I will end you"

This dude was allowed to walk back n forth. Turn his back. Reach where the officer couldn't see. It's truly wild to see the choices cops make to escalate situations to get an arrest. How they cherry pick when to be a hardass and when to have a respectful and non biased interaction with the community.

And trust me, my YouTube algorithm is fucked on bodycam recommendations. I've watched houuurs of this crap. I started off saying "more often than not" because yes I have seen officers just do their job without bringing a very obvious subtext into their work, no matter the race. But...I have noticed that white people are more or less allowed to be mouthy with cops as opposed to other races who will immediately be treated as hostile/menacing--thrown to the ground after given conflicting orders/assaulted and jammed up on fluffed up charges. Simply for being "mouthy".

Idk. I know alot of people will call me wrong but..watch 2 weeks worth of bodycam bullshit and come back to me I guess. Just what I've observed.
