You were telling me to do uh something that I don't have. >> I can tell you to do whatever I want. If you think it's violent, >> you can tell me to do whatever you want. >> In this video, a man was pulled over by a state trooper who claimed he was driving above the speed limit. The man stayed calm, handed over his license and registration, but refused to answer unnecessary questions. When the officer started acting suspicious, the man reminded him that his dash camera was recording everything. The trooper kept insisting that the man was speeding, even though the driver knew he wasn't. What started as a simple traffic stop turned into an uncomfortable back and forth that showed how easily some officers twist the truth when the camera isn't on their side. >> Howdy. >> Rolls down all the way, man. >> Why is that? >> Roll it down all the way so I can talk to you better. >> We can talk, right? I mean, >> roll it down all the way. I'm not asking and telling you. >> What law is that? >> Why are you starting this, man? >> Well, you're telling me to roll my wind. We can talk, right? >> Yeah. Roll it down more. >> But why? >> So I can talk to you better, man. Not going to talk to you through a crack like this. I'm not >> I'm not trying to be rude to you anything like that. >> I'm really not trying to be rude to you either. But >> so what's the deal? Why don't you want to roll it down all the way? >> Because I don't have you want to. >> I just You just trying to be difficult. >> I'm not trying to be difficult. Do you want my license registration? >> Yeah. If you don't >> What's the reason for stopping me if you >> First off. Okay. I'm Trooper Jackson Little with the Arkansas State Police. Okay. >> I appreciate that. >> The reason I'm pulling you over is speeding. You know how fast you're going? >> I do. >> How fast are you going? >> I'm not going to answer that question. >> Okay. I got you going 87 in the 65. Man, that that's that's a little quick. >> I got this dash cam here. >> Yeah. >> And it records my speed. >> Okay. How fast does it say you're going? >> I'm not going to answer that question, but I know it wasn't that. This is >> Okay. >> Uh registration insurance going at least. >> I'm not going to answer that. >> Okay. >> I'm really not trying to be difficult with you, sir. >> So, what's the deal then? >> Well, what deal? >> Like, why are you being like why are you just being so defensive and argumentative >> with what? >> Everything I'm saying. >> of Well, I don't believe >> I'm not being fit by rolling the window down. It's not a huge deal. I'd like to talk to you better, you know, instead of >> I think that we're talking fine, though, aren't we? >> We were, but it's not it's not >> Well, hold on. Hold.

I just don't like to have it all the way down. >> Why is that? >> I just don't. >> Why is that, man? >> I just don't. >> Okay. Okay. Everyone's different, I guess. Everyone is a little different. Yeah. >> You like it done? I don't. You know, it's >> okay. >> Everything looks good here. >> So, you don't think you were speeding? >> I don't uh want to answer any questions regarding that. >> Why not? >> It's just >> It's not a huge deal, man. It's just speed. It's just speeding. >> I get it. And uh >> I don't think it's a huge deal. It's not. >> Something uh you know, if you don't think you're going that fast, something could be wrong with your car or something, man. You know, you never know that. to 2021. >> Nothing like that, man. >> I'm not trying to be rude either. >> I know you're being nice now, so I appreciate that. >> Well, I feel like I've been nice. >> Yeah, it's it's the deal is, man, we go, you know, if uh we you give us signs by not being cooper by the little things, >> but not cooperating. >> Just listen.

So, those are just little clues. I'm not saying you are not accusing. >> We're just operating within the bounds of the law right now, aren't we? Are we just operating within the bounds of the law right now? >> We are. Then >> those are just little clues, man. I mean, it's it's it's kind of weird when you don't want to roll your window down all the way. It's just a little weird, man. >> It's a little weird that you're just demanding I do something. You said that you're not tell you're not asking, you're telling me. And you don't have the legal grounds to tell me to roll my window all the way down. That's the only thing. That was a lie. >> A lie? >> Yeah, >> that's not a lie. >> Do I have to roll my window down? >> I can make a bigger deal out of that if I'm not going to, though. >> Do I have to roll my window down all the way? Is that a lie? do what I ask. Man, >> is that's a law. >> If you think that's the violating whatever, we can take it to court. That's the >> We can take that one to court. That is not a law that I have to have my window like that. But like I said, it's speeding, man. What's it's not a huge deal. >> And I I understand that. And that's why I feel like we got off on the wrong foot because you were telling me to do uh something that I don't have to. >> I can tell you to do whatever I want. If you think it's violation, >> you can tell me to do whatever you want. >> If if you think it's a violation of whatever thing you're talking, we can take it. >> Well, I don't think you violated anything right now. >> Okay. Okay. Good deal. Good deal. No, I just I don't I think we have a disagreement on what the law says on the window. >> Like what's the deal, man? Honestly, like what? >> There is zero deal. >> Okay. So, just what >> you've got me stopped. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You're accusing me of um speeding, you say? >> Yeah. >> I've handed you my documents.

Like, what's >> It blows my mind that you can't let it go. I thought we moved past this. >> It's just a little funny to me, man. I'm just behind the whole cop thing. I'm just kind of curious why why you won't do it. >> I just don't uh think that I am legally obliged to do that. >> Yeah, I'm saying beyond that, why don't you just want to like what's the big deal? You see like are you afraid or what? >> I like my window. Well, I think that Yeah. A man approached my car with a gun and >> Yeah. I'm not here to hurt you or anything like that. >> I fully believe that, you know, but I'm I'm allowed to have my defenses up, right? Do you believe I'm going to hurt you? >> No, I don't. >> But you got your defenses up, right? I mean, it's just a natural >> all the stuff going on.

I got to do things. >> Yeah, I was just saying behind the whole cop thing, I was just kind of curious why you didn't want to go like behind the whole I'm the cop, you're the, you know, violator or whatever. Behind just kind of curious why you didn't want to roll it down. So, >> yeah. I just I just like it where it is. >> Okay. Okay. Everyone's different. >> Sure. >> Anyway, man, just hang tight here. Okay. >> Sure. >> Put your stuff back, man. Here's what we're doing. Okay. >> All right. >> Your record look pretty dang good. I didn't see a speeding warning or ticket on there. Okay. Okay. Off with the warning. Okay. >> I really appreciate you think you're going that fast, but radar said you were, but I'm not I'm not writing any ticket. >> That's what I was going to ask is if you're on radar, cuz I'm not lying to you. I wasn't going that fast. >> How fast were beyond that? How fast was it? Was it >> I really can't answer that question. >> I'm not writing your ticket, man. It's a warning. So, I'm just curious what it says. >> I understand. But there's a formality that's got to take place there. Um you I just >> What do you mean formality? um my right to remain silent on things. Um >> I'm not I'm not going to walk back there and rewrite a ticket, man. I can promise you that. I'm just curious. >> I I can promise I won't answer. >> You have my word. I'm not going to do that. I promise you. That's on That's on my camera. But yeah, man. What's your name again? >> My name's James. >> Okay. Nice to meet you, man. I'm Jackson. Nice to meet you. >> You, too.

And I think that's that's a bad case of what's happening. >> In the end, the trooper backed off after realizing he couldn't justify his false claim and tried to smooth things over with a friendly tone, but the damage was already done. The dash cam caught everything and exposed how easily this officer lied just to make a stop look legitimate. This encounter showed exactly why recording every moment is the only real protection against abuse of authority.
