Man tries his luck on calm and kind Police Officer searching a group of teens for weed - General

Really wanted to describe it the best way I could. I thought I would post this because a couple of people put up some status' on facebook about the video and I just thought some of the comments were too funny. [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8rsVNWgMqM[/URL][/media] One of the status' [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/y5bSBfQ.jpg[/IMG] First thing he wanted to do with his new camera :v: bet that guy is humor.

obviously i dont agree with the drug war and the overall situation created in this video but shit i can't even be bothered with these videos anymore. they're depressing. can't fathom people who would want to harass a policeman like this who is just getting shit done for a wage

Citizens like this are what shoved me off wanting to become a police officer like my dad. The officer gets nothing but harassment because some shitty cops in society decide they wanna become heroes and pull dumb shit. I have the utmost respect for police officers and what they have to put up with and the utmost disappointment in civilians who decide that it's ~edgy~ to pick on cops.

Felt bad for that guy. Hope it doesn't affect him too much. It's stuff like this that turns nice blokes away from the job.

Exactly, the camera man even says "This is the first thing I wanted to do with my new camera" What being a fucking asshole towards a cop who smelt weed. I feel like the officer to be honest should have more powers to deal with people who go around with cameras and make things so much more complicated than they have to be.

lol this guy watches too much law and order 'you can't detain him without a warrant!'

the whole ACAB mentality is retarded

Its people like the guy with the camera that make me wish the police could easily abuse their power. While a police state is not a always a good thing, It would of been satisfying to see a van full of police officers just drive up the road and proceed to bash this shit out of the guy with the camera just for being a jackass.

I don't care what one's stance is on smoking weed. The guy is harassing a guy that's just doing what he was paid to do. Dick move.

in the video description it says 3 of the teens are his sons. also, they were being really disrespectful to that cop and mocking him, in the US that wouldn't fly. they'd probably be arrested for disorderly conduct/disturbing the peace.

The end of the video is unbelievable, don't know if I could put up with this if this was my job so kudos to the officer for being calm as heck

To be quite fair, it seems more like he's attacking the laws themselves rather than the policeman. At least, that's what he should be doing, it's stupid to attack this guy since he's just doing it for an income.

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;43014280]a police state is not always a good thing[/QUOTE] Yeah, whatever. The guy with the camera knows nothing about the law. He was lucky not to have been arrested for obstructing a constable in his duty.

The guy with the camera is retarded. Police have every right to search someone they suspect to be in possession of drugs. And the officer is a special constable which means he doesn't get paid - he's doing that job voluntarily.

SC's don't get paid and that's pretty much the only difference from regulars.

douche

What's the deal with comments like this any way. It's no better than when some heinous criminal goes to jail, and people say like "I hope he drops the soap! lol".

What a fucking jackass. The cop seems like a really cool guy though.

The only other video on this guy's channel [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MTF7CnlGPs[/media]

Mad props to the cop for staying calm and controlled. My blood would have been boiling. What a douche.

People who smoke weed and drive deserve punishment imo. I can't concentrate for the fucking life of me when I'm high, I wouldn't ever think of driving. Sometimes when I'm sober and about to pull out of a junction, I realise I've not seen a car heading my way. It'd be ten times worse if I was high. Guy with the camera is a twat.

[QUOTE=Bengley;43018377]The guy with the camera is retarded. Police have every right to search someone they suspect to be in possession of drugs.[/QUOTE] Not really that sounds like a terrible idea. I wouldn't want a police officer to search me just because of suspicion.

If his suspicions were due to swerving, or erratic driving/behavior, I would agree with the officer. But to pull someone over, and charge people on the count of a scent in the air, just seems like a big waste of time and is a huge hassle to everyone. I saw an image of a 'smelescope' type device to aid them in smelling marijuana in the air, are you fucking kidding me? What a waste.
