Likers really have it tough. From getting grabbed off their bikes to getting guns pulled on them. What are you doing? Oh, what are you doing? What do you mean, what am I doing? Like oil and water, cops and bikers just don't mix. Get ready to see the most insane encounters when they cross each other. Disclaimer. On October 23rd, 2017, a biker and YouTuber, Armani Visuals, was out for a ride in Montgomery County when he reved his motorbike past officers on a traffic stop. One of the cops didn't like that at all. Oh, he's mine. [Applause] Leaving a traffic stop because someone revved their engine at you. That officer didn't overreact one bit. What are you doing? Put your hands behind your back. You're under arrest. Leave. Put your hands behind your back. You're under arrest now. What? You didn't let me go because I knew you were going to run from me. That's all. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. Right. Put your hands behind your back right now. You got me. Hands behind your back. God damn it. Both hands. Both hands. Thank you very much. Oh, you didn't see me on the side road. My lights on. You would run yourself over. Oh, that's terrible. Don't go anywhere. All this because you got rev bombed. That's pretty crazy. And this cop knew that wouldn't fly. So, he came up with another reason right now. Yeah, cuz what would have happened? Exactly what you did. Nothing happened. You had no clue. You ran from me. You ran from saw me come. You hit the butt gas and I jumped on you. It's all on camera. You want to deny it? You didn't let me up. You going to deny it? You didn't let me out. Are you going to deny it? He denied running from me. Made from you. You saw me coming. He took off. You saw me coming and took off. No, I'm in full uniform, jackass. What are you talking about? I'm in full uniform. You're assuming I'm trying to run from you. I know you're trying to run from me. I wouldn't have it because I have a license now. Sit down. Sit. Feet in. Stay. And this hotad thought he was in the best position to chastise the biker. That was incredibly stupid, young man. Incredibly stupid. What did I do? You think I have to explain it to you? Really? Tell me what I did. You don't know? I want you to tell me. Howdy. Howdy. How are you? Think I'm having a better day? No, I'm having a great day. I'm loving this. You need my number officer? Yep, that was fun. Someone didn't play enough as a child. I think Armani had scratched two cars because the cops ran up on him like a thug, but he had a pretty good soba story for them, too. This guy was driving like a [ __ ] over there past one of our stops and I called up to him and you see what happened. Yes. Cuz I knew he was going to run. Surprise, surprise. Oh, I I figured he was going to I figured he was going. That's why I came and ran up on foot. Well, I get out and she'll go to chase only him on foot and he tries to take off and he sees his cars. Now he's under arrest. A BMW. Yeah. And especially now it's all jacked up. What I'm going to do is I'm going to end up writing some charges on him. He's going to jail cuz I'm not playing this game anymore. That place coming out of the motorcycle dealership. Yeah, they're it's like a racetrack there. This dumb cop took Armani off to jail and slammed him with eight charges, including failure to control vehicle speed on the highway and failure of the driver to slow to reasonable and prudent speed while passing a stopped emergency vehicle. But all that couldn't hide the main reason for the stop. But because this dumb cop had run up on Armani with his lights off, all the charges were dropped except one, and Armani walked away with a $110 fine. That's not the only time a cop has escalated and made things worse for no good reason. This one even had a gun. How you doing? Oh [ __ ] What are you doing here? What do you mean what am I doing? Across the pond, YouTuber Mao was on a deadend road practicing his wheelies. Little did he know that the most insane thing was about to happen. Goodbye. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, this biker wasn't getting jumped. Those are two plain clothes cops looking for three suspects. Get off the bike. Get off the bike. One sec. One sec. Get off a bike. Police officers, mate. We'll in a second. Sorry. What? Don't worry, mate. Police officer. What's going on, Officer? McCaffrey pick. Jesus Christ, guys. Dude, we had several robberies in the area, huh? You want to bike doing wheelies up and down the street? Yeah. Apologies about that. off. You search? Go my colleague side. All right, dude. I'll get your bike. Go my colleague side. Okay. Can be searched. Okay. Okay. Put your hands here. Drop your gloves. Just drop them, dude. There had been a robbery 20 minutes earlier. So, naturally, these plain clothes cops assumed one of the per had stopped to do some wheelies before making their getaway. The reason why me and my colleague are chatting to you. Mhm. Because we've had lots of moped robberies today. Yeah, I know that. We had a report just from around the corner that there's a a bike free OP and uh stealing phones. All right. Mhm. Now me and my colleague search you. Um have you got anything on you but you shouldn't? Uh no. Okay, dude. Okay. Copy the search. Pick police station. Okay. Okay. Obviously we're searching in relation to articles involved in theft. Yep. And also for stolen goods. Okay. Okay. Appreciate it's a bit of a fight. I don't mean to jump at you, but unfortunately, as I'm sure you're aware, moped robbies have become a major problem in London. Literally the end of the street here, we've said that two tourists robbed the last half hour. Um, it may well be you're just in the wrong place a long time. Mhm. You've been arrested before. Uh, once, but that was for riding my dad's bike a few years ago. You covered on this bike in short. Yeah. Once they realized they'd made a boo boo, you'd think these cops would just apologize and back off. No can do. Even if it's a quiet road, you still can't do wheelies if it's a public road. Well, they'll be able to do them there behind that barrier. If it's on a private road, that's still going to be technically a public road. You need to find something that's not that public don't have access. If you hit someone, you're doing driving straight away. Control of the vehicle. You have no control of the steering, brake, etc., etc. So, don't be doing that. The craziest thing was that Mao looked nothing like the suspect they were after. To be fair, I'm not I'm not dressed in, you know, tracksuits and on a scoop. No, don't appreciate that. But obviously, I understand. As we came past, I just saw the front of your bike and this is where the robbery happens like 25 minutes. Okay. And we have to be a little bit dynamic and get because to be honest, we're not allowed to chase them. Um, you know, it's Yeah. No, I appreciate you guys trying to jump on them like this. This is Yeah. And I appreciate it's not fun to go on the CV end of, but I'd rather do that than risk you riding off the What did you get the warning for before? Uh had a passenger in the back just going up and down a quiet road. Dude, we could seize your bike. Yeah, I know. That's why I come here and you know hopefully I don't cuz I come here. There's not really anywhere I used listen. Okay. I'm not going to seize your bike today. Cool. On the provisor, the following provisor. Number one, go find somewhere that is not a public road to do. Yeah, I used to do it. I appreciate you want to play with your bike. It does. get it isn't the place to do it. Okay? So, go find somewhere else to do it cuz otherwise you will have to seize your bike. I mean, if you get caught doing that, that's not an option. You're going to lose your bike. After wasting some more time, Mao was finally let out of his cuffs and allowed to go about his day. Mao still couldn't believe what had happened. Wow. This is usually where I come to do like circle wheelies and stuff. I was just s they just running around the corner and I'm like what the I was so confused who these people were obviously the guy had his batting out and I was like oh okay these guys must be fed. Oh my god. I got scared bro. I thought they were just going to like stop beating me. At least those cops had a good reason for confronting Mao. Sort of. Sometimes the bikers aren't exactly innocent either. On May 6th, 2021, officer Nelson spotted a biker on the highway whose motorcycle had no visible plates and pulled it over. Even though the bike was off and the man was just asking questions, this cop totally escalated things when he suddenly snatched the man's keys. Step off the bike. Get off the bike. There a problem? Yes. What's the problem? You don't have a plate. Okay. So, where were you? Huh? Where were you? Behind you the whole time. Just get off your bike. Definitely not. Get off your bike, sir. Are we in Sandy Springs right now? We don't have to be. Oh, the We don't listen. Don't you up [ __ ] off. I got you give me my goddamn key. Things were not off to a great start, but they were about to get a whole lot worse. Back up. What the [ __ ] you going to do? Back up. What the [ __ ] you going to do? Stop, sir. My goddamn key with your bull. Put your hands on the car now. Get on the ground now. Why did you pull me over? Because you don't have a license plate. Show me your hand. Get on the ground now. Get on the ground now. Get on the ground now. Put your gun down. Snatching the keys was pretty dumb. But the biker reaching into his jacket, that was maybe even more dumb, even though he was just getting his ID. Put your gun down. Put your gun down. I have no weapons. Get on the ground. I have no weapons, sir. Get on my arm is up. Excellent. Get on the ground. Okay. So, what do you want me to do? Lay on the ground all the way. Okay. So, you're going to handcuff me? Yes. You're going to take me to Jeff. What? Put lay on the ground. Okay. Let's go. Come on. Put your hands behind your back. My my shoulder. Okay. Do the best you can. Can I get off this thing right here? Look at this. It's a pin right here. Can I get off? Can I ask you back some? Yes. All right. Keep your hands where I can see them. I That was my fault. That was my fault. That was really dumb. That That was my bad. I agree. Cuz you got to tell me what you're doing, boss. I don't know. I know. My bad. You're already pissed off at me as it is. You know what I'm saying? Put your hands behind your back. That earned the man some cuffs and a trip downtown. Well, let's start with resisting number one. No. Come on, bro. You pick my phone up. I want you to call my I need to put my finger. So, call my wife. Yeah, I'll do it. We're going to have a seat. Hold on. Hold on. Slide this out of the way. All right. Good. Have a seat. Seat your butt first. It's the easiest way. And you said your shoulder hurts. So, what I need you to do is sit your butt back. Put your foot on that and slide all the way back. Okay. It's going to be the most comfortable. He was charged with obstruction, attempting to elude, and driving without a plate. But at least he knows where he messed up. That biker sure is lucky that the cop he met wasn't Detective Richard. And that isn't the worst way a cop has stopped a biker because they're scared they'll ride off. In August 2023, YouTuber It's Hannon was out testing his new bike when a cop pulled over and did the craziest thing ever. What the hell? Okay, back up. You try to run. You'd think this was the worst of it, but this hopped up cop was all over the place, just itching to escalate things. Okay, you're cutting me off. I didn't do anything. My lights. My camera's on, dude. Where's your plate? Where's your plate? Where's your plate? Hey, let me see your license, please. I have the plate with me. Why is your plate not this plate? I don't have the mount for it. I just got the bike right now. I can show you. I have Show me the mount right here. This goes here. I don't have the mount for it. Bro, why'd you cut You cut me off. I was trying to run. Well, it looks like it to me. But you didn't stop when I had my lights going, right? I tell you to stop multiple times. That's okay. My bad, man. Let me see your license. We'll figure it out. Bet he was just hoping there was no license so he'd have a reason to back up what he'd done. Do you have your driver's license? Holy. Pull around the corner here. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tea back. Huh? Huh? Want the key back? Yeah, bro. Come on. Let's go. Why isn't it mountains? I just bought the bike. How long you had the bike for? Here, take this. You can you can check it. I I have the registration with me. That's not the the question was, right? Like, where's your plate? It's not mountains, right? Uh-huh. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. But don't get in my car. Like, don't get in my car. No, I I was just for you. Hey, pull up my door, please. Sorry. Hey, you want to put your camera down when you film me in my car in this? Yeah. Yeah, I got you, bro. Once the officer saw its Hannon was compliant, his attitude did a total 180 and he changed his tune. Did you just get the mic? I just got it. Like I was saying, I just got it. So that's why this the guy didn't have a mount on it, right? So I got the plate. It's not It's not like a brand new bike. It's a 2020. 2020. No plate, man. But I have the insurance in the I know if like if I ever get pulled over, that's why the my backpack, right? Otherwise, I could just like, you know, run from your You know what people do when they don't have plates on bikes. Uhhuh. A lot of like I would say the majority of the time is when someone tries to stop them, I roll up next to you and I turn my lights on. I, hey man, stop your bike. And then they start moving off. They start moving off and they start moving off. You know what they normally do? They keep moving off until they go and then they just drive like an idiot and they're gone. Okay, so that's what generally happens with motorcycles. After telling its Hannon to get a mount for his bike, the officer had no choice but to let him go.
