I said “I am really sorry sir” bracing for a ticket or worse. He responded “Seriously dude? Don’t fucking smoke in your car. It isn’t worth it. Please drive safely”. Then he took off.

I live in the UK and two police officers were chatting as they were checking a report on a suspicious car. They noticed another car parking up with a broken tail light. They both approached the car just to tell the driver about his tail light in case he didn't know. The driver was with a woman and they saw the sign from her, asking for help. It turned out they had stopped a serial killer after finding things on the back seat of his car. All this because of a broken tail light. You are right, the police just don't know what they're going to get when a minor stop is done. This all happened at 8pm too!

For those first few seconds all you can do is pray and be afraid. The accident happened because the car that hit us was trying to speed through a red light. both cars were totaled. If we had been hit even just a little farther than where we had been, we could have been dead. The cops that helped us were so kind, and to think that this happened to that poor officer...he was so scared. It hurts me for him and his family. Nothing is worth causing this pain.

As a Canadian who has lived in the states, I always find it interesting the difference between civilian-cop interactions in both countries. I think that American cops are far more on edge since they know that anyone can have a gun. Canadian cops always seem more relaxed.

[@jay-1800]

Cops in the US generally are under a lot more public scrutiny. Bruce sorta mentioned about it when the random dude walked up on scene. If you’re doing the job in a “diverse”neighborhood the person could’ve just killed 2-3 people and you’d still have crowds forming calling the cops racists.

@@Jartran72 As a 3L, I can confirm law school is super expensive and will feel like the longest and hardest 3 years of your life. However, Jartran is right. Most law schools only teach you about the law. Very few actually teach you how to be a good lawyer and prepare you to advocate for clients the rest of your life. I would suggest you seriously consider whether you want to be an attorney or not before you get too deep in. It is a rigorous, expensive, and time consuming journey. So you need to be absolutely sure it’s what you want to do before you get halfway through your 1L year and realize you don’t really want to be an attorney.

"Never commit a felony to avoid a misdemeanor." That sounds like it would be so obvious that it wouldn't need to be stated and yet we are constantly seeing Einsteins who do just that! Apparently, common sense ain't so common! After that crash, I can just hear people saying, "Why didn't the cop just let him go and arrest him at his house?" Sounds like a fantastic idea but if they later learned that this was a kidnapping and after the bad guy got away from the police he did unspeakable things to the child and then ended his life. Those same people would be screaming 'WHY didn't the cop keep after him? He could have saved that child's life." To people who hate cops, whatever the police do it is the wrong thing to do.

Something that I always think about is that police see the worst in people day in and day out. It must be incredibly difficult, maybe impossible, to not go into situations with a certain bias or demeanor. We don't give police enough credit for doing such a tough job because it definitely seems like the odds are stacked against them. Bad people always have the upper hand sadly.

[@rivercitymud]

It doesn't help that these days they have like fifty different jobs besides law enforcement that ought to be handled by other agencies. A lot of the arrest videos I've seen don't need a uniformed cop with some handcuffs as much as they need some big guys in white nurse's outfits with a butterfly net. Basically every underfunded public service job like social worker or drug counselor eventually ends up becoming a cop's job one way or another. And yeah, every cop I've ever known was jaded as hell because they hardly ever see nice people.

I think you are right about drones. Police have usually used helicopters to aid them in trying to pursue suspects in high speed pursuits to find ways to cut them off and safely end it, but a drone could probably follow a car a lot better than a helicopter. Drones are smaller and quieter so it could definitely remove some of the need for having a high speed chase. Once they have the license plate they could back off and let the drone follow it and decide the best way to pursue it.

[@riblets1968]

What kills me about episodes like this is the suspect's utter inability to stay low key. If I had something that I don't want the cops to see, why the hell would I attract their attention by rolling through freakin' red lights?? I don't get it.

As a former Police Officer I can tell you that the officers should have stayed behind the B pillar of the car.

I think it being after midnight is why they continued the case. I've seen a lot of chases called off during the day as there's just so many more people both on the road and on the street. Still it's usually a department policy and often times they may have to ask a supervisor permission to continue.

[@Meg_of_all_threads]

My logic went there too. Since few people are out at that time they pursued.

[@MikeS309]

sometimes its also a requirement that there be a forcible felony involved. At my department if there was a forcible felony involved then the pursuit was authorized....you didn't have to request permission, however the supervisor or the initiating officer could cancel based on traffic conditions/danger to the public.

To touch on something Bruce said. If you carry, it stands to good reason to inform the officer immediately that you are armed upon being stopped. Even if you are not in a duty to inform state. I take it a step further and keep my license, registration, and insurance in a small plastic envelope, in my visor. Should I be stopped by an officer, both of my hands stay on the steering wheel, with the envelope on the dashboard. I do not move them until instructed to do so by the officer. I've been stopped twice while carrying. Both times I was not disarmed, and the officers expressed appreciation for being forthcoming about the firearm, rather than having to be asked about it. Just some food for though.

​@@JohnDoe-qz1ql Murder is punishable by death in multiple states. But just because it's a possible sentence doesn't mean you'll receive the maximum sentence.

[@JohnDoe-qz1ql]

@@SonOfNone Maybe some, killing a cop is punishable by death, and likely, in All states, not here and there.

My quibble is that its worse to shoot a cop than any other person doing their job. It's ridiculous and unfair.

[@veritylife8432]

it's distressing to hear the fear in the officer's voices

[@queenbey6678]

"The cops could back off... but they don't want to" that's exactly why these chases are becoming outlawed in more places. Egos putting the public in danger over petty shit.

[@cameronsmith3988]

Don't commit a misdemeanor while committing a felony. Don't commit multiple worse felonies while trying to get away with the first one.

I work nights, so midnight is my break time! 😂

[@veritylife8432]

The first time I missed my curfew as a teenage girl, my father only told me" nothing good happens after midnight" I never missed another curfew and found myself telling my teenagers the same thing, ten years later.

You had teenagers 10 years after you were a teenager yourself? Well, I guess the math could work if you had kids at 16 and first broke curfew at 19.

In Wisconsin, the patrol cars have a computerized radar system. When they are on a freeway, they scan all the license plates on the cars in front of them. If the owner of a car, person car is registered to, has a warrent out for them the cops computer will alert them. What I've been told is the screen inside the patrol car will turn different colors depending on what kind of warrant it is. So, you don't have to break any laws at the time you're driving for them to pull you over, bc they know before they stop you, you have warrants. How common is that kind of radar, and wouldn't you need to be speeding or something for them to stop you?

[@02biddle]

Better be real careful whose car you drive

[@phillysoldier]

Is that even legal? in my state they can't run your plate unless they see you do something

[@theresasuprise3324]

@ikillpenguins6723 I agree but people have no way to know they ran your plates unless you are pulled over. And at that point they might make up a reason. I do know drivers that were pulled over though related to that. Also while I lived in Wisconsin not all counties had that kind of radar set up in police cars. Winnebago county sheriffs used it on Highway 41 patrolling on the freeway.

[@andreyv116]

Supposedly the suspect died very shortly after the shootout

[@kirikayumura6015]

The shooter, Tyran Lamb, died just after he ran past the cop that he shot at close range. He collapsed in the grass just a bit after the clip Bruce showed ended. The clip ending like that makes it look like he got away so I had to search up the incident because I was curious if they caught him and what his sentence was. It seems that not only did he turn a lesser crime into a more serious one, he turned it into fatal one for himself. Thankfully the officer he shot survived.

[@kirikayumura6015]

err. Tyron Lamb I think.. sorry for the typo. It seems the first article I read on it spelled it wrong.

[@KarazolaX]

Whenever I get pulled over, I have made it a policy to act like the officer coming to my window has spent the last 8 hours watching footage of dash cam footage of deadly traffic stops. Cops do NOT want to drop their guard, even in mundane circumstances. They just can't know that you're 100% not a threat.

[@achievecollege]

So what was the outcome for the officer who was shot?

[@kristapeterson3141]

He was hit in the leg, chest and hand. needed two surgeries for damage to his lungs, liver, intestines and spleen. He’s back at work now.

[@PlayRightParent]

[@shalomm6517]

Cops can back off but they definitely should NOT. They have no idea what is going on in that vehicle. Imagine the amount of damage a kidnapper or grapist can do to their victims in the time that it will take for the police to track them down. And then everyone will turn against he cops saying they didn't do their job by backing off in the first place

[@SweetUniverse]

Seriously, after beasting on all of the CLR vids I'm ready to take the bar exam

[@MrTmm97]

4:00 let me tell you something about chases… YOU CAN’T OUTRUN A RADIO! Not to mention dash cam means your likely identified even if they backed off and you got away. Your still screwed. Your only going to get yourself in a lot more trouble and likely hurt or kill yourself and others. Better just stop and take whatever punishment you’ll get versus ending up in far more trouble. Just remember… you can’t outrun a radio.

[@AliceNsWonderland]

3:56 some PD's have policies set to where officers need approval from a superior to give chase. Other dept have specific offences you're allowed to give chase over; only running a red light would NOT qualify. They have to be able to justify the risk/benefits analysis; they put the general public in grave danger every time they're involved w a high-speed-chase. These policies & procedures were put into place after countless 'innocent' ppl (and the officers themselves) were serially injured/killed.

[@AliceNsWonderland]

For the record, I know he did more than dimly running a red

[@maniackyjr]

Bruce, thank you for your complimentary information! Keep rocking in the free world

[@gabe1929]

I feel like the person that walked up should be arrested for interfering. Him walking up changed "put your hands up" to "back the f up, get away" probably let the person in the car think ppl support him/officers distracted (definitely distracted, going from im going to shoot if you move mode, to get away mode-looking somewhere else)

[@gulumhazer]

The officer saying please don’t let me die have me the chills. Cops risk their lives every time they go out on patrol.

Bruce you gotta do a quick search on how modern spike strips are. They’re called “sticks” now and they’re quickly thrown to be deployed and have a rope essentially to be retracted back so the coo chasing doesn’t hit them. Pretty cool stuff!
