Since you have to take time off to defend yourself in court and the ticket was dismissed because the cop perjured himself, the cop should lose his implied immunity and personally pay the fine to the defendant.

[@modelcitizen394]

When an officer clearly writes a bogus ticket and it gets dismissed, the officer should have to pay the fines of the infraction, and have that infraction go onto the officers permanent driving record. Also, the officer should have to pay the person (out of the officers own pocket) for the person's time that was wasted going to court, lost wages, and any other costs they incurred during the process.

Sorry but if whoever the driver of the rig its hard to beleive he is doing the speed limit in all those clips as he is always in the left lane passing most all drivers. Then in that restricted work area space is driving like a moron. Tries to pass and then tailgates the other rig. I do not want to bother timing the passing landmarks for actual VASCAR speed but...... If not most states have laws about rigs in the left lane especially when there is more than 2 lanes for a given direction. Even then they must be going the max speed limit regardless if they are passing or not and must give right of way to any other vehciles that come up on them just as all other vehicles are suppose to when in the far left lane and is why its called a passing lane. This driver based on the videos seems like riding the left lane. Rigs in the left lane are dangerous many times. They slow going up grades which causes other drivers to lane hop around them and it causes backups both of which create accident conditions. With all that said in the first clip the LE was a jerk. He may have wanted you out of the left lane as he wanted to pass you but you had every right unless it was restricted in that area to go back in the left to pass.

[@markhonea2461]

Here is a story from the time before dash cams. I was a young long haired hippy driving my 1946 Chevy pickup on state route 2 in WA. around 1979 and tooling along in the left lane of a divided 4 lane . Stater pulled me over for going too slow in the 'fast lane'. I was doing 50 in a 55. No cars anywhere around. It was obvious he just pulled me to cause trouble. I am fairly certain I wasn't breaking any laws, but he let me off with a warning. Such a nice guy. So I proceeded to to re-enter traffic and immediately went into the left lane but was doing 55 on the nose. Haha! He was all butt hurt and pulled me over instantly and just took my license and said " A ticket is coming ". 😠 Back then there wasn't any restriction about the left lane, you didn't need to be passing anyone to use it. He had raced up behind me so fast that I was certain he couldn't have known my speed. I cheerily accepted the ticket and looked it over and lo and behold officer butthurt hadn't filled in the space for my actual speed at the time of the incident. I knew I had him. Went to court in front of the judge and explained exactly what happened, officer butthurt was squirming. The judge looked over the ticket I handed him and then gave the cop a look that , well, it wasn't good. He asked the cop a couple of real dry questions, glared at him some more, and said "case dismissed". Officer butthurt wouldn't even look at me. He did the walk of shame in front of a full courtroom. It was a good day, for a 18 year old hippy kid.😎 👍

@@MaximusPsychosis actually there might be some special regulations for dash cams. It is best to check if they exist in state before purchasing.

[@MaximusPsychosis]

yeah, you're right, here in Australialand, ive been told that the date and time needs to be exact, or its dismissed, insurance companies will just dismiss it due to some legalities, most chinzy cameras cannot hold the date'n'time when the power is off.. but all i can think is turn that off, they have nothing to date it too, other then the aftermath looks to be the same on the footage, and when windows looks at a file, it updates the modified file date'n'time, so that cannot be used. if i filmed it on 8mm film, there is no time stamping on it, still can be evidence.. But yeah, i think there is things along the lines of must see oncoming and following licensing plates in the dark, must be able to recognize people, etc etc.. but they way i see it, footage is 100% better then word of mouth.

[@Muhanoid]

@@MaximusPsychosis agreed that it is better in general sense, but law is law. Also, if camera loses date/time when off it means it needs connection to external (car) battery. Also it is possible to glue digital clock within camera visibility. But that needs to be solidified in court by judge verdict or some other bureau that can say (with stamp of their jurisdiction power) "yes this is valid" or "no, this is not allowed". About modification of file. It needs to be in "read only" mode. Some flash cards have a switch that forces all content into read only mode. Once again, there needs to be a regulation that explains how file must be handled. Does court recognize only original file on camera card or copy with same hash (exact copy with zero modification) applies as same file? What if evidence (original) is lost? Would copy be valid if it has all same parameters, except when it was created due to how windows writers time of creation and modification? PAPERWORK!

As a commercial driver, I was a fan of this video after the aggressive motorcycle PD. HOWEVER, I am very disturbed and disappointed by the driver attempting to pass in a narrow construction zone. The commercial driver at 2014/02/03 03:52:44 was protecting the public and you/r driver from endangering himself and others. If the timestamp is correct, which I doubt, it predates your "new" camera. You make us all look bad to the general public with such a reckless pass in a construction zone, when the guy could have waited 5 minutes to pass. The driver that passed in the narrow construction zone is reckless and without common courtesy.

@@TheRoadhammer379 Also really likes riding the passing lane. The cop pulled him over because he was not really "passing" in the passing lane. This commercial driver admitted to going UNDER the speed limit while in the passing lane. While not illegal to do so, he needs to be cognizant that others are DOING the speed limit and want to pass HIM. Those people that ride the left lanes not passing are dangerous because it forces those passing to pass on the right and also do numerous lane changes while aggravated. I drive extensively up and down the I-95 corridor in the mid-Atlantic and NE states. I call them left lane vigilantes. They are so frustrating. Many states prohibit cruising in the passing lane and it is a ticket-able offense. That judge was wrong. I get it that semi drivers need to rum their rigs at peak efficiency and that not doing so causes negative cash flow (especially for owner-operators. I get it.). I fully recognize that truckers are the red blood cells of our nations arteries and that I am driving on THEIR road as they pay crazy taxes to use those roads. But for crying out loud, stay out of the passing lane as much as possible and stop passing in cattle chute construction zones. Crikeys.

Most states including Texas, and especially California, restricts vehicles with three or more axles (i.e. Lorry/Semi/Big Rig) from traveling in the far left hand lane. If the HWY has three lanes, then the truck/tractor is relegated to the far right lane, and may use the center lane for passing. If there are four or five lanes, then the truck/tractor is relegated to the two far right lanes. The lane right of the far left lane may be used for passing. So theoretically, there should not in general, be large commercial trucks in the far left lane at all. I would think a lorry/semi/big rig operator, one should really know these rules, they are there for public safety… …

And as an added bonus, you can then simply unplug and transfer to another vehicle just as quickly. I bought two Rove cams that are GPS, bluetooth, and have video stability built in for less than $150 last month (yes, for the pair) to replace two Smarty cams that cost a hell of a lot more but had much poorer resolution (retail on them when hew was over $400 each). which goes to prove that you don't have to spend a fortune to get a high quality cam with all the features.

Install dash cams in every vehicle, and remove all the nonsense safety nannies, like airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, etc. Without all that crap, maybe people would drive better knowing their head is bouncing off the steering wheel & windshield when they hit someone, and that they need to drive responsibly because if they don't they don't have a traction control and stability control system to save their sorry asses from their own terrible driving habits. I bet most people on the road today wouldn't be able to drive a vehicle that don't have all that safety shit in it without getting into several wrecks within a short distance just because they really don't have a clue how to drive...they rely 100% on all the electronic nannies to get them from point a to point b and oftentimes all those nannies still can't save their dumb asses from their complete lack of common sense and driving skills which is very lacking today.

At the 37-second Mark you can see he stopped passing and that's exactly where the cop then pulled him over after warning him previous. The law is still always dry faster than traffic you write slower than traffic to your left and all of these individual state laws have to abide by that.

[@SillyRamen]

Paco Vasda , Half of your first comment wasn't even relevant and I think you forgot this is a semi. After he passed the first white truck, he still needs to get a significant distance ahead to clear his back end and then some extra space so he doesn't cut the truck off too close before moving back over. When you look at the distance between the trucks he can fit, but by the time he could fit he would almost be at the second truck (that at the time was going slower than him) so there would be no point in maneuvering into that gap when he would just need to get back in the left lane again only seconds later to pass the second truck. So he just continued to stay in the left lane. He didn't do anything wrong. The second truck suddenly picks it up so the semi won't pass and it was only seconds after that that the cop cut in. He did as the cop said and moved over but the second white truck was going slower again so he got back into the left lane to pass. He broke no law in doing any of this.

[@pacovasda5955]

@@SillyRamen remember there's a law called safe and prudent speed and if you can't pass somebody with enough speed to get buy them then they're speed and your speed is not safe and prudent to pass you don't get to argue speed limits or anything like that if they're going so fast that you can't get past them then stay behind them but we're Talkin 2 or 3 miles an hour and if you can't speed up 10 miles an hour then there's a problem. That said yes this is a semi and that has to be considered and respected. The problem is and the reason that I go on just because I've got time I'm in and out of the hospital because of an accident on the interstate where the left lane was blocked and some traffic was racing some Vehicles moved out of the way for the faster traffic and some got pushy and refused and tried to slow the Speeders on purpose and it caused a huge accident and luckily I'm not that hurt ultimately but some other people were so now yes I have a sore nerve regarding improper lane usage as I found talking two cops that they are much much more worried about improper lane usage then they are speeding. I find that they've been giving tickets for it for years but the general population is ignorant and just assumes that every time they see somebody getting pulled over it's for speeding. Years ago I took lots of driving classes proper lane usage is the main thing they teach watching out for people improperly using lanes is a constant topic. Yes this subject does hit a nerve and yes I am trolling it a little bit because it is the number one danger on the road by far more dangerous than speeding. Think about it if hardly anybody was speeding but nobody obeyed appropriate lane usage there would be crashes all the time. If lots of people sped but everybody obeyed appropriate lane usage which means using your mirrors then there would be very few crashes on the road. Too clearly dangerous things that you can see from the example which one ultimately is more dangerous they both need to be respected not just the speed limit.

[@SillyRamen]

@UCEAUcQKWp0FXHNEicAaKKJQ, please watch it again, the semi was going faster than both the trucks. The semi slowed down as he was about to pass the second truck because the cop was cutting him off for no reason. He started slowing before the cop was visible in the camera and thats because the driver can see more than us and saw him approach from the side. If it weren't for the cop, the semi would have kept the constant pace he was keeping before hand and passed the truck with no problem. The only reason he didn't was because of the cop interfering in what didn't need interfering in.

Not yet mention this man doesn't even know that every diaper,bottle, and items he has had has been from a truck, and doesn't know truckers have thousands of miles on the road compared to just an average traveler

[@hughhemington9559]

In most places, semi's must remain in the outer two lanes. This applies to everything with three or more axles (with the exception of buses I think). If the semi was towing, it cannot be in the #1 lane, unless there is an exception for proximity to a highway interchange. This is sometimes couched as a regulation on towing, but it works out the same.

Keith Remlinger I don’t live in the immediate area, but I do know what you’re talking about and there are parts where that just isn’t the case. Those signs are not along 100% of the freeway. The simplest explanation to this situation is that the rule doesn’t apply there.

[@ericshimer6669]

Ya drive a truck in the 2 right lanes and tell me how many times you get brake checked by asshats who can not look out the left window and mirror? Loads shift so you want a truck rolling over or spilling out on the highway all the time? Tying up traffic for cleanups? You really need educated on trucking. Almost everyone does. We do not stop on a dime. We need to be given the left lane to get threw those metro areas when not delivering there. You will see then that trucks will not be involved with car crashes. Will be safer for all.

[@internet_internet]

Eric Shimer Very logical. I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately here in Texas, the left lane is essentially considered to be the “fast/every man for himself” lane. & unfortunately, people will raise hell here whenever their time or social norms are “inconvenienced”...

[@tommatthews9126]

Even when judges determine the driver was right and dismiss the ticket(s), nothing is ever said to the cops who waste all the time of everyone involved and clog the court system up with "vengeance" tickets. They always just let it go like nothing is wrong because they know this is the well where all that free money flows from and god forbid they rock the boat by holding cops accountable for their actions.

[@artyomarty391]

the truck driver at 3:47 is doing the right thing by staying in middle of the road. The road in this case was extremely narrow and its very stressful to drive in such a situation which leads many accidents and such accidents typically block the road for an entire day. Not everyone is a perfect driver like you. Dont pass semi trucks on a narrow road when you yourself have a semi truck: respect others

[@WelcomeToMyDream]

Especially if he was empty or had a light load. A heavy semi passing him that close could easily cause him to crash. The truck driver making these videos must be new.

At the 2:13 exiting the ramp the semi was merging from 1 road to another he should have slowed down and merged behind the car. Cars on road semi was merging on to have the right of way.

Whether there's signs or not, a lot of cities don't like semis in the left lane, regardless of whether they're passing someone or not. California, Salt Lake, etc. For some reason Vegas is cool with it though. (Good thing, because of massive traffic on and off in right lane would make it more whack than it already is if trucks had to stay right.) I've had a cop point me over just like yours did in Denver once. Funny thing is, I was in the middle lane but within a mile both lanes left of me merged out and left me in the left lane. I couldn't move right.....because the car blocking me from moving over was the cop. Thanks for the tip, officer.

I have no problem with a driver pulling in front of me, but for God's sake, hit the accelerator and not the brakes! Morons pull out in front of me all the time (as if two seconds will change their lives). There will be no driver behind me and I'm traveling at the normal rate of speed. So, SFBs has to get in front and then barely presses the gas pedal (while I'm regurgitating every curse word I can remember).
