Dude, you're lying. You're over pushing their boundaries. >> No, I'm not. You're the one that's being a jerk. >> He's got me BY THE THROAT. HE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> HELLO. UM WERE YOU FLASHING blue lights at somebody? >> Yeah, just have them slow down. That's all. >> Okay. What >> I'm going to be honest with you. >> No, you're fine. Who do you work for? >> I don't work for anybody. >> Two drivers, two very different attitudes. One came out swinging from the start, while the other had no idea he'd done anything wrong. Both ended up in handcuffs. >> The reason I stopped you is because you were honking at me and following at an unsafe distance. >> no, I wasn't. >> Okay. Okay, do you have your driver's license on you? >> I sure don't. >> Our first case takes us to Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and all started with a horn. By the end of this stop, Joe is going to wish he just kept driving. >> Well, I have the right to [ __ ] pull you over. You were on the phone and you were doing something wrong. >> So, you were So, you were trying to pull me over? >> Didn't you see the lights flashing? >> Okay. Sounds good. >> Chief's down here now. >> He's not coming. >> Yeah, yeah. >> And you're not free to I'm sorry. Com center, can you go ahead? >> Yeah, chief is coming down here whether I got called them or your fat asses bringing them down here. >> And I'm not sure if I asked for another one, but I'll take one. He's refusing to identify himself. >> I'm asking for your supervisor. >> 20 seconds. That's how long it took Joe to let the officer know what he thought of her, and this is only the start of the traffic stop. >> Supervisor can come down, but not my chief. >> Your supervisor is going to come here. >> Okay. >> Cuz you have no business pulling me over. >> Okay. But you were trying to pull me over. >> Yeah, I I didn't do nothing wrong. I was behind you. Can you determine from your mirrors what's safe? Cuz this says right here that may appear to be closer than seen. >> 10-4, do we have any recent contacts with it? >> Stand by. Confirm to me you said one failing to identify? >> 10-4, the driver is. >> 10-4. >> Scream for help. Get out of the car and scream for help. Start screaming for help. >> He's now got his child stepping out of the car to scream for help. >> Help! >> But, you don't have to do that. >> Okay, he's allowed to do it BECAUSE YOU'RE >> HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! >> He's actually requesting a supervisor now, if one is available. >> Cuz you were doing something illegal. I wasn't. I was behind you. >> Okay. >> Honking my horn at you is not illegal. I'm allowed to honk my horn all I want. >> Okay. Sounds good. >> Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! >> Sir, do you want me to explain the law to you? Or do you want my supervisor to? >> The law that I was honking my horn at >> No, that you have to identify yourself. >> Uh only if I had committed a crime, which I have not done. >> I told you the reason. >> No. That's not a crime. Honking the horn at you is not a crime. You do realize that, right? >> You're just getting yourself more tickets. >> What law is honking the horn at you? >> Okay. >> What law, you dumb fat is honking the horn at you? >> Here's the thing. Joe's not entirely wrong, but the law is a little more specific than he thinks. >> So, the tickets I'm going to give you is for following too closely and unlawful use of horn are the two ones. That's furthering my for the ticket. And then if you don't give me your driver's license >> I want to wait for your supervisor. Once I asked for your supervisor, you don't have to You're supposed to go wait in your vehicle until he comes. >> Okay. I don't have to wait in my car, and I'm not going to. I'm going to wait right here. >> Hey! >> Isn't it going to be funny when I tell the judge that I was following behind you honking the horn because you were doing something wrong and I just had a conversation with the day officer yesterday says that I have the right to do something >> Oh, I know who you are. >> Yeah, you dumb >> Okay, perfect. I know who he is. I'm going to go back to my squad real quick and get some tickets. >> You can't write me a ticket. I asked your supervisor yesterday and he said that >> Now, here's where Joe's logic falls apart. The day officer didn't say tailgating an officer while honking the horn and flashing his lights was okay for a citizen to do, but that's his defense. Remember it. It's going to matter later. >> Flashing his lights at me and following like this. Once I turned here, he's blaring his horn at me, so I pulled over. He got ahead of me and I pulled him over for following too close and to see if he was in distress. He's failing to identify himself. I just happened to know because Kim had said she dealt with somebody who was very uncooperative and I think it's him. Can I take him to jail for not identifying himself? >> Wow, so >> I'm going to give him an infraction ticket. It's up to you and following too close. >> Yeah, so you wanted to start working on those and we'll get him out of here. >> This guy yesterday was on the phone with me yesterday and that's why she's here now. >> If watching citizens take the law into their own hands gets you going, hit subscribe right now. We drop cases like this all the time and this one is just getting started. >> Hey, Joe. >> What? >> What's up, man? I'm the supervisor you wanted to talk to somebody? >> Yes. Can I get out for a second? >> Just stay put. I can talk to you right here, man. >> Okay, I was coming off of Ellis Street. This dumb came off of Main Street, had no um no uh blinker on when she made the turn. She was as well on her phone. I followed her down the road because I talked to somebody yesterday that made it very clear that if I had a problem with one of the officers I can most definitely make a complaints about it. >> Okay. >> So, I was following her down the road to figure out who she was, and I was flashing my light and honking my horn. And I'll see you later. >> her or in front of her? >> I was behind her. >> [music] >> The supervisor barely got a word in. Joe made it clear he was the victim and his attitude wasn't going to change. Did Joe just have it out for this female officer specifically, or does he just have a problem with authority? Drop your thoughts in the comments. >> Okay. >> And now she thinks she has the right to give me a ticket for honking my horn. I got every right to honk my [ __ ] horn. >> How close were you to her? >> I was a car length behind her. >> Okay. >> Not following too closely. >> Okay. >> Can you guys prove it? What is the law when it follows too closely? What does the mirror say when you read them? What does that say? If you guys are so smart. Objects in mirror appear closer than they are. >> to do with what says in the mirror. >> Yeah, it does. It is a lawful statement on there. >> do you always have to be so confrontational when you deal with us? >> This goes on for almost 2 minutes. To which the supervisor never raises his voice. Not once. But Joe has his own agenda here. >> You can't do a thing. Not a [ __ ] thing. Because obviously you're letting this fat do what the [ __ ] she wants anyways. >> She's just doing her job. >> No, she's not. >> don't agree with it, you can argue it in court. >> her job? What is the law when it comes to traveling too closely in the city? >> Following at an unsafe, unreasonable distance where you wouldn't have time to to brake. >> Oh, so when that fat hit the curb back there, I didn't have time to go around her? >> I don't know. I wasn't here. >> Yes, I [ __ ] she hit the [ __ ] curb. >> I can ask her. What's What difference is it going to make? >> Cuz that proves that I wasn't close enough to hit her because when she hit the curb, then I would have hit her. Wouldn't she not? >> Fighting court, Joe. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you all day. >> Joe's not slowing down. He continues to speak his mind without thought of how that could come back and bite him later. >> Oh, yeah. Cuz you're a [ __ ] dumb, fat, worthless piece of [ __ ] >> Hang tight until she's done, and then you're free to go after that. >> me no tickets to the window. >> Well, we're going to give them to you, so Yeah, I can't hear you either, bud. Joel, stay in safe spot. Don't make this thing worse than it has to be, Joel. >> What are you going to do about it? >> Stop. >> I dare any one of you dumb asses to try to put your hands on me. >> Just stop. We don't want to have to >> No, YOU STARTED THIS. YOU'RE ALLOWING YOUR OFFICER >> ANYTHING. >> NO, I was BEHIND YOUR FAT [ __ ] OFFICER. >> If you would be quiet and give us a minute, we'll be done here. >> No, there's no [ __ ] minute, you dumb >> Well, whatever, Joel. >> Then Joel took it too far and the supervisor had enough. >> Come to any sort of agreement here. >> All right, are you going to take him to jail for this one? >> Yeah, if you continue to do it. But we'll just take him to DC at this point. >> What's that? >> Take him to jail for DC. >> Yeah. Stop, Joel. >> You need to unlock the car or I will smash that window open. >> For what? >> Get out. >> For what? >> Step out, Joel. >> Is it going to be a ticket or a ticket? >> It was going to be a ticket, but now it's not. >> Joel, you make this stuff worse, dude, by the way >> No, you guys [ __ ] did this. THIS FAT CALLED ME YESTERDAY. >> Just stop. >> call? >> Joel, knock it off. >> Watch the footage here carefully, every angle. Joel is about to take this stop to the next level. >> He's got me by THE THROAT. HE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> STOP. >> HE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> COME ON. >> HE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> JOEL. >> SHE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. SHE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> [screaming] >> STOP. >> SHE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> OKAY. >> DUDE, YOU'RE ON A CAMERA. >> SHE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> JOEL, NOBODY'S GOT YOU BY THE THROAT. >> SHE'S GOT ME BY THE THROAT. >> JOEL, YOU NEED TO >> DUDE, YOU GUYS ARE DOING THIS OVER NOTHING. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO another search. >> Cameras don't lie. Not one officer had their hands anywhere near Joel's throat. He was just crying wolf. >> Dude, you're allowing them to push and push their boundaries. >> No, I'm not. >> For what? the one that's being the jerk out here. We're not doing anything. >> How am I being a jerk? >> Because of the way you're acting. >> Dude, I JUST GOT PULLED OVER FOR NOTHING. >> It's not for nothing, Joel. She explained to you why she pulled you over. You just don't agree with it. That's the problem. >> Is that so, officer? >> So, is it Is it this going to be lawful by a judge that you guys are arresting somebody for a >> You'll have your day in court. You'll have your day in court. >> They told him he'd have his day in court. And honestly, after what he's about to say next, he's going to need it. >> All right, let's go. >> Wait until I find where you live. >> He pushed me again. >> Knock it off, Joel. Knock it off, JOEL. >> WELL, SHE'S [ __ ] PUSHING ME, DUDE. >> Then you don't got to push us back. >> I [ __ ] tripped on my foot. >> No, you didn't. >> Wait until I find where you live. >> That's not a traffic violation anymore. That's a criminal threat. >> You're lying. >> Stop [ __ ] me. >> Battery to law enforcement, too. >> Look, stop [ __ ] hitting me. >> Joel, get in the car. >> THEY'RE CLUTCHING ME. >> NO, WE'RE NOT. >> YOU'D THINK WITH THE charges adding up, Joel would realize things are only getting worse by the minute. But something he was afraid of earlier, it's about to become very real. >> Run, dude. >> Joel, I'm going to tase you. You're about to get tased, dude. >> Dude, I'm a I WANT MY KID. >> THAT. THAT IS WHAT FINALLY MADE JOEL CONCEDE. >> Jesus Christ. >> I'm rolling my window down, guys. I TOLD MY KID TO STOP. I TOLD MY KID TO STOP. >> ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN. >> NO. I'm going to tell him to stop. You heard him. HE HAS DISABILITIES. STOP. I'M GOING TO SUE YOU. I'm suing you. Stupid >> And now to the jail. >> You think the judge is going to be me happy this all started over honking my horn. >> I don't know. >> You think my lawyer's going to be happy with that? >> I don't >> Cuz I can tell you right now it's not. >> In the end, Joe was charged with resisting and obstructing an officer, disorderly conduct, and battery to a law enforcement officer. He pleaded guilty to resisting and obstructing twice and was sentenced to 12 months of probation, required to write a letter of apology to the officer, complete anger management, and obtain full-time employment. Wait, you're watching right now but not subscribed to the channel. Go ahead and smash that subscribe button. All done? Let's get back to case number two. A Honda Pilot had been swerving in front of drivers, lighting them up with blue and reds mounted in the rear window. The SUV even had a decal on it ending in PD. There was just one problem. The last driver he flashed was an off-duty constable. >> Hello. Um were you flashing blue lights at somebody? >> Yeah, it's just to slow down, that's all. >> Okay, what >> I'm going to be honest with >> No, you're fine. Who do you work for? >> I don't work for anybody. I I used to be a cop in LA but I resigned so >> Okay. No worries. Do you have your >> Yeah, I just kind of slow them down because they were speeding so high. You know, that's the only way to get them down. >> Do you Can you show me what the lights look like? >> What's that? >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah, that's one of my old ones. >> No, you're good. Do you have your license registration? >> to lie to you and that's what happened. They were speeding like crazy up down the road but I like okay, let me slow them down, you know. >> Do you have a gun on you? >> No. >> Oh, okay. >> They're at home. >> Officers are about to find out this goes a lot deeper than the set of Amazon lights. >> Well, he's going to jail. >> Huh? >> He's probably going to jail. Um what was he doing to y'all? >> So we was coming down 127. I'm off duty. We're working at airplane right. >> Mobile. >> So we were coming back from Mobile and he gets like jerks in front of me. I'm thinking >> Yeah. >> So then I mean he's like literally on the front of my bumper. I got it. He flashed He's flashing the blocks. They're blue and red. I'm like I know. >> Was he in front of you when he flashed them? >> Yeah. And I'm like I know for damn sure that Harrisburg ain't >> He ain't a cop. >> ain't no running no under >> He ain't a cop. He admitted he did it, too. He turned the lights on for me. Yeah. He said he's trying to slow people down. >> What the constable described was not a misunderstanding. It was an impersonation. >> So Yeah. >> Who do you work for? >> Garrett. >> Oh. Well, that's so much better. >> Yeah. That's what I told him. I was like, you picked the wrong one. >> I saw the neon. I was like, are these guys construction workers? >> Everything [clears throat] the driver is saying makes him sound completely reasonable. Remember that. >> Oh, hell. You can't have that. >> But I don't know if it's enough for an impersonating or if it's just a misuse of blue lights. >> I think it's enough for impersonating. >> You think it's enough for impersonating? He admitted he did it. They're off-duty cops. They work for Yeah, they work for Garrett SSO. >> He admitted that. >> He was in He was in traffic when he did >> Let me I'm going to call I'm with attorney at law. >> Who is this guy? >> What? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, but I don't know if it's a if it fully fits like an impersonation since he did say he was a cop. Like I don't know how I need to read the statute. >> He can seize a car and use it for undercover ops. >> Here's something most people don't realize. Officers don't always know every statute off the top of their head. So they did what you'd want them to do. They looked it up. >> We hook him, too. We got PC for a vehicle search for evidence of impersonation. >> Oh, I actually know what he does now. He said he works for Amazon. For health insurance. >> Okay, you guys >> Y'all want to talk to him a little bit more? Tell him I'm running his lights. >> What does the 6L31 PD mean? >> That's Palace View Drive Road. >> Okay. >> That's a condo in Southern California, where I'm from. And that's our parking >> Did this used to be used for any law enforcement? >> A little bit when I was there, but that's about it. But that light was after I moved out here. >> What kind of work did you do? >> I worked in a crash unit helping them out. >> What is it? >> Crash unit. >> Crash unit? >> And helping them out a little bit. >> So, were you Were you law enforcement or were you just assisting? >> I just assisting. >> A just assisting? Okay. >> That's all I mean, you know, I've been >> This is where his story started to fall apart. Earlier, he told officers he was a former LAPD cop. Now, he was saying he just assisted a crash unit. He wasn't walking back a detail. He was admitting the first thing he said wasn't true. >> And that's about it. I'm not trying to harm anybody. I'm just slowing them down. That's it. I'm helping you guys at the same time, you know? But if people are doing the wrong thing, I'm not pulling anybody over, period. I'm just slowing them down, period. You know, and he just told me we can't have the red and white, so I mean, red and blue. >> Yeah, per the Kentucky Revised Statute, it's the blue lights. Rotating or flashing blue lights. >> Well, what kind of emergency lights people have? Like yellow >> Uh, you can have like white and yellow. >> He took it well. Said he understood. Said he'd swap the blue lights for white and yellow. He still thought this was going to end with a warning. It wasn't. >> Do you see why people like this could be an issue, though? >> Yes, actually just ex- told me right now. >> Yeah. Because in your head, did you think this guy's going to think I'm a cop? >> No. >> No? >> I just got to slow them down. That's it. >> Well, what do red and blue lights normally mean, though? >> Well, in in LA's police. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, but over here, I they sell them like that, so they put as a safety light. >> Where'd you buy them at? Okay. >> Yeah, I bought them from Amazon. >> Well, unfortunately, man, you're being placed under arrest, okay? You can't use lights like that here, all right? So, if you would, just turn around and place your hands behind your back for me. >> Okay. >> Dominique, can you uh search him, double lock his cuffs, and put him in your car for me for a minute, please? >> Hey. All right. >> It's going to have his red and blues, so it ought to be any different here. >> Let's Let's step to the car. >> So, what am I going to get in for, man? >> So, it's impersonating a police officer. That's what you're >> Well, I didn't know that. >> That's what you're being placed under arrest >> Unlike Joe in case one, Justin offered no struggle, no screaming, no threats. He simply asked what he was being charged with. Impersonating a police officer. And his response was the most human thing anyone has said in this entire video. He didn't know. He just bought lights from Amazon. >> I didn't know that you guys would, you know, nail me for that over here, you know, I'm just I just slowed down the traffic, that's all. >> Well, respectfully, sir, >> Here's the friendly advice. It ain't your job to do that. You understand what I'm saying? >> Yeah. I was just trying to be helpful, that's all. >> I get it, but people are going to make their own decisions. You know, if you want to slow people down for traffic, go to the academy. You got anything in these pockets? >> The officer kept the same calm tone Justin had carried this whole stop. It doesn't matter what you think. You don't have the authority. Period. >> If you were to do that in LA, right, they would be doing the same thing that we are doing right now. >> And then officers searched the SUV. >> It was for parking. >> You must be a magnet. Did you get autographs all night? >> Yeah, I got it. >> Jesus Christ. >> I think I might continue on my phone call to come to Harrisburg. Good place. >> He just dug himself a deeper hole talking. >> Yeah. >> He said, "When I walked up, he said, 'Yeah, I was a I was a police officer in Los Angeles.'" And then 5 minutes later, he said, "I was not a police officer in Los Angeles." Hey, look at these. >> Gloves, reflective vest, cards printed to look like official parking notices, a plate cover designed to beat red light cameras, a plate number that looked like a police identifier, and something that looked like a scanner tucked underneath the seat. That's not a man who bought some lights on impulse. That's someone who put real thought into looking like law enforcement. >> The cards to put on people's car. He's got cards to put on that say "Attention, you parked like an idiot. Flip over to see the reasons. Parking over the line, blocking the sidewalk or driveway." Anything in his pockets? Chase, this has got to be a seizure, dude. This [ __ ] is whack. It's sad people do this, right? >> Harrodsburg police weren't taking this lightly and reached out to the public to come forward if they'd ever been pulled over by Justin or received one of his fake parking cards. However, no victims were publicly identified. In the end, Justin Young Gov was charged with impersonating a peace officer, improper use of blue lights, and operating a vehicle with an ineligible license plate.
