I can relate to this video. Years back, late at night from work this lady cop pull me over for no reason. Told me to get out of the car. Put me on handcuffs. I kept asking her what did I do wrong? she never answered. She called back up. She could't find anything inside the car. Thank God her back up showed up as I was getting agitated. She told me to sit on side of the road and I was reactant to do so. Back up came and soon as he realized she was in the wrong, he took handcuffs off and told her to step aside and apologize to me and told me that I was free to leave. I don't know what type of drugs she was on. Crazy world we living in. She also kept telling me what I was doing in that neighborhood, I said check my license please, I am just heading home and I got classes early in the morning.

Forget fixing it, sue and make them buy a new one. Who knows what all they have done to the car. Who knows if they haven’t planted anything in the car so they can have “cause” for a future arrest.

Eric Von Zipper should not even be “some cops”. These guys are supposed to be held to a higher standard and while I’ve always been very supportive of LE, it’s deeply disturbing to me to see and hear the number of cases out there of police who have gone completely off the deep end and I’m disgusted and outraged by it. This is not a case of a few rogue cops. And then when we have an incident like in Buffalo, instead of the good cops being angered by the bad cops who pushed that elderly man, they rally to support the rogue cops who were clearly in the wrong. Tough for me to reconcile that sort of thing

A lot of people park in NJ or certain parts of NY, but have addresses elsewhere, to get a lower insurance rate. They’re cracking down on that. So if the car is at Mom’s home, it has to be registered in Mom’s name, in this case, since the kid’s school is probably out of state.
