$200 Ticket Dismissed!! Why Everyone Should Own A Dash Cam!

These are some crazy/weird things my Dad and I have captured on our dashcams, he drives a large semi and I drive a variety of different cars with an iPod dash cam setup.
Music: Memory Rain
Dash Cam currently used on Semi: amzn.to/3N2DRx5
Micro SD for dash cam:
amzn.to/38Wkl6x
Phone Mount used for the rest of the videos: amzn.to/2AbQBB0
Thanks for watching!

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.

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.😎 👍

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.

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.

@@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!

If you're afraid to operate your vehicle under certain conditions, then you have two options from which to pick one: 1) Turn in your license. 2) Pay attention to the fact that there are plenty of other tractor trailers in your mirrors, and they're running two abreast, which should immediately tell you that your fear that the lanes aren't wide enough is completely without merit. At this point, you should choose to grow a pair, pick a lane, get in it and stay in it, preferably the right lane so others can pass you on your left.

Long haulers or semis have a big advantage though. Everyone can see them coming or turning and people usually give you the way when you turn. You also see the entire road (ahead of you at least) which is a great advantage I used to drive a semi for work.

I live in San Antonio, where that first clip was recorded. (looks like guy was going 1604 East just by my own experiences living in the northern part of SA) Just as a possible justification for the cop's behavior, on i-35 (the interstate not 10 miles further down the road in that direction) there is at least a dozen signs a mile saying NO TRUCKS LEFT LANE. Cop was probably just in NO-SEMIS-ALLOWED mode. I don't know if he was a Bexar County cop, but either way, typically semis aren't allowed to travel in the left lane. Yes, you can pass, however, in the clip itself the driver was in the left lane for quite a long time. Cool to see my home town on youtube watching cop videos.

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.

I was thinking for sure that was Texas. I drove for FedEx Expedited and made my way thru almost every state at least once. But, Texas I made it to about every other week atleast and sometimes every week. Laredo was my home at from home it seemed like. I'd be on the road weeks at a time before making my way back home to North Carolina.

San Antonio traffic is always nuts. Most problem drivers are uninsured too.

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.

Semi's are not allowed in the fast lane within the city limits.

They are in my state and the state over. So....depends where you are. And he wasn't ticked for that, he was ticketed for passing.

@@vegetta00 how does ANYBODY KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ??? God enough already

[@ZUnknownFox]

@@IslandDigital if you watched the video they said what happened. and if it annoys you that much why are you here?

[@nickh5081]

Where I'm from semi's are not allowed in the far left lane at all if there are more than 2 lanes. Funny part is, the minute you're within a few miles of a highway split or a change in the number of lanes, they all cram into the far left lane knowing that soon they'll be allowed to be in that lane - like little kids that want to break the rules, but just a little bit!

Ayyyy, I recognize my home city ❤️

I like your video for awesome BG music

Here in Arkansas, big trucks are limited to the two right lanes of a three lane road. I do concur however that the cop was on a trip :-)
