The contempt of cop, called me a called me a coward, wah, wah, wah, I'm a baby and a coward. >> DON'T TELL ME WHAT to do. Shut the [ __ ] up. Shut the [ __ ] up. Shut the [ __ ] up. Goodbye. >> In this video, a Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled this driver over after accusing him of unsafe driving, but the stop immediately turned hostile when the officer started banging on the window and trying to force the driver to hand over documents. Instead of backing down, the driver challenged everything the trooper said, mocked him for calling backup, and forced another responding officer into an awkward conversation about rights and traffic laws. The more the troopers tried to regain control, the worse the stop looked, especially after the driver accused them of intimidation, extortion, and abusing authority right to their faces. The driver kept pressing them on camera and refused to let the officers control the interaction. Watch how this traffic stop completely spiraled out of control for the troopers. >> Put the window down. >> No, I can hear you just fine. Don't open my door. >> Put the window down. >> Nope. I don't have to. It's not a law. >> registration, and proof >> You can have that. >> Sir, I need your license, registration, and proof of insurance. My place stay, please.

You just look at them. >> I need your license, registration, and proof of insurance. >> They're right there. >> I need these documents in my hands. >> They're right there. >> I need my documents in my hands, sir. >> You want to push this? >> I need I need all three of these. >> The law states all I have to do is show them to you.

Is there a reason why you were driving like that, sir? >> I was driving perfectly fine. >> On my camera, you you cut over three lanes in traffic and then you cut off a car you're >> Oh, yeah, okay. Keep on making up stories. Write that down. >> Everything's all right. Everything's all right. >> down. So, I'll write here. Write it down. >> All right, I'm going to be right back with you, okay? >> Okay, go ahead. What's up, buddy? >> What's up, man? >> Question for you. >> What's up? >> I know the law states that I just have to show you registration, insurance, and driver's license. I don't have to give them to you. >> You need to be able to exhibit them upon request on a traffic >> And I did. >> Okay. >> And he says I had to give them to him. >> Okay. >> Which is This is all on film. It's all going to the lawyers. It's all going to court. >> Okay. >> That's fine. So, the law states all I have to do is show them to you. >> Correct. Exhibit them upon request on a traffic >> I did that. >> Okay. >> And he's forcing me to give them to him. >> Okay. >> So, if you're his supervisor, you may want to tell him what the law states. >> Okay. Well, I'm not his supervisor. >> That's fine. >> Um I'm just here to back up my partner. >> And and he almost hit me. >> Okay. >> With his car. >> Okay. >> And that's on film, too. >> Okay. >> If you want to pull somebody over, you don't fly to him, get this close to the rear bumper, and then when I hit my brakes, he's swerving to not hit me. What's going on? >> I'm not sure, sir. I don't know what the law is. >> traffic violation of me going from one lane to the next with my turn signals? >> Okay. Like I said, I wasn't the one that initiated the traffic stop. >> So, I had my window cracked like this cuz that's all I need to do about talking. He's banging on my window, trying to force open my door. I'm too smart. I lock my doors when I see terrorists come around me. Okay. And they are just extorting things. I don't like extortion experts. But we'll we'll play the game. But you have no right to enter my car. You have no right to bang on my windows. You have no right to force me to show you stuff or give you stuff that I've already shown you. >> Okay. >> So there's the problem. I don't know what this guy is and what he's doing. But he's making a very bad light shining upon the state troopers. >> Okay. >> This will be on YouTube. Like all the other stuff on my channel. And and and this >> What's your channel? >> Southeastern PA Community Watch. >> Community Watch, okay. >> Yep. >> All right. >> And I care about accountability and transparency. >> I understand. >> Now the three pieces of paper I gave him, they can be used against me in a court of law. Correct? My registration, insurance, and driver's license. They can be used against me in a court of law if something's wrong or something's not right. Correct? >> In the court of Yeah. >> So I have >> If if any of those documents weren't correct or >> So I have my my right to not self-incriminate. >> Okay. >> So I technically by law or right don't have to show him something that may incriminate me. Not that it will. >> us back to our original point of you have If you're pulled over for a traffic violation, you have to identify yourself and show your documents upon >> I can show them. >> Because at that point we do have a right to identify >> You're correct. I will show them happily. >> Okay. >> Forcing me to give them to you is a whole big problem. >> I mean Each his own. >> Well, no. >> And like I said, this isn't my stop. I just came here to back [laughter] up my car. >> that, officer. What's your name, Pickens? >> Pickens, Trooper Pickens. >> And I appreciate that. And I'm not a But I will stand up for my rights. So when he's forcing his way into my car, banging on my window, trying to get in as I'm showing him all three pieces against the window here. All he has to do is get his pen out, address, do we do. It may be a little bit pain for you guys to do that. Right. But boohoo. That's the way it is. So, this guy's used to people complying to his illegal orders. I will not. >> Okay. >> You wonder why people have a bad taste with cops. I don't. You may think I do because I will voice my opinion and voice my rights. >> You have every right to do that. >> Okay. Some cops take that the wrong way. >> The Constitution was written for a reason, sir. You know what I'm saying? >> Well, that's a whole 'nother story, but yes, you [laughter] are correct. Since you and I did not sign the Constitution, it's not a binding contract to either of us. Technically, if you want to understand law. >> It still gives you the the rights that you are so exercising on this traffic stop. >> It is what it is. >> You know. >> You know, and and whatever. He called back up because I called him a coward. So, when he's fearing for his life about something that's so irrational, then you should not be in this uh position or or profession. Okay. Seriously. I understand you guys got it rough and you got to be careful. I understand I understand there's crazy people out there. I understand that. But uh the whole taste was just really sour. So, I can't wait to see what he writes me up for. Look, contempt of cop, called me a He called me a coward. Wah, wah, wah. I'm a baby and a coward. Is that what we do nowadays? You guys men? >> I'm sorry. >> guys men or you little little fluff cakes? >> Like I said, I'm not I cannot speak for him. I'm not going to, you know, >> But he called back up pretty quick, didn't he? >> was this was my stop, it'd be different, but it's not. >> That's cool. But he called back up pretty quick, didn't he? Uh need help. This guy's not not not not not bending over so I can stick my in his ass. Okay. So, this this guy is just a little baby. I I'm sure he's your partner and your buddy. I don't mean to down him, but I call a spade a spade. >> Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. >> You seem to be pretty cool. I mean, so if I did this to you, would that make you cry? That made him cry. >> You have to put your window down. >> I said, "NO, I DON'T." THERE'S NO LAW THAT states I have to put my window down. It's polite. >> investigation to a point. >> It's polite. I can hear you maybe a little bit better. I don't have to do it. So, I'm not going to do something that I don't have to do to test my public officials to see if they understand the law. To see if they have a big ego attached to their head. Okay? I don't think I found one public servant that actually is a respectable public servant. That's pretty sad. >> Well, maybe I might be that one. >> So, I just like to point a camera at my public officials and say, "How dare you?" You want to come in? >> [laughter] >> I don't know where all these gnats are. >> I know. I feel bad for you. So, some Feeling better? >> Huh? >> Feeling better? >> What What does that mean? All right. So, here's the deal, sir. Here's your license. >> I get them. >> Here's your insurance, here's your your registration. >> down all the lies. >> Two citations today, sir. One for careless driving and one for failure to maintain your lane. All right. You were cutting across the lanes. >> That's fine. It's all on film. >> Okay. Um as as well as I instructed before, you know, we were only able to record the time 70 seconds prior to the stop. >> Good. I was filming way before that. >> Uh okay. Okay. >> So, >> Um >> Exactly what I was doing will be on film. >> Okay. All right. Um we can go to court for a traffic >> We're going to court. >> So, here's the bulk of the dress. That's going to be the actual court address as well, right here. >> file it down there. >> Yep. You're going to cut There's two of these. You're going to cut these out. You're going to mail it in within 10 days. If you don't do it within 10 days, license will be suspended suspended, revoked, or there'll be a warrant out for your arrest. >> Oh, no. So, you actually will extort people that bad if they don't have the money to pay for a ticket, you will actually put a warrant out for them and arrest the poor person. >> AOPC bench warrant PC, what happens for failure to pay usually or failure to respond to the citation. >> violation? >> Yes, sir. >> You will actually send a warrant out. >> Not me, personally. >> not you. >> But, but, but the state does or a town does as well, so. >> So, you see how the extortion works? You see how >> the rules of of of what happens with us. So, like I said, I explained everything to you in the citation here. Um, we have >> So, what is your job here on the Is it to monitor traffic? >> So, it's to maintain safety of all the people that are driving here on this highway. And And obviously, you know, we're driving that you displayed tonight >> beautiful. >> That wasn't That wasn't safe driving, so. >> So, was your safe driving tailgating me when I tapped my brakes so all over the road? >> so a lot of the times what happens is is is people don't realize that I'm behind them. So, so my lights and my sirens, you know, me getting close allows me to read your registration as well. >> Oh, so you have to get 1 in from my bumper to do that. >> Yeah, I need to in order to read it as well. >> So, it's okay for you to tailgate and to drive erratically and I can't find you, but you can make up [ __ ] >> to catch up to the violator, which is what you were doing. Yes, sir. I have to do that. I have to do that. I have to do that. I have to do that. I have to do that. >> that in court. >> sir. >> Okay, cuz everything's on film. Everything's recorded as well. How would you know it is? >> So, so there's two citations for you, sir. >> drop it. I don't want to touch you. I don't want to touch your extortion papers. >> All right, there's two citations. >> Anything else? >> No, that's it. You're free to drive safe. >> So, you guys, your job is not to go after criminals, it's to monitor citizens driving down the road. >> behavior that happens that we we take care of that as well, so. >> So, you're not out catching rapists and murderers and things? >> as >> That's exactly if there's criminal activity that happens, then we do that as well. >> So, they'll call you and say, "Hey, we need you." >> traffic violations as well on the >> So, when's the last time you got a you caught a criminal? >> Huh? >> When's the last time you arrested a criminal? >> to expect I'll give all that information to you. >> Ah, because you haven't.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. An idiot trying to tell me what to do. Shut the up. >> The troopers tried to pressure this driver from the second the stop began, but instead of getting quick compliance, they ended up in a non-stop argument that exposed how frustrated and defensive they became on camera. Even after calling backup and issuing citations, the officers never regained control of the situation, and the driver made sure every second of it turned into a public embarrassment for them.
