I posted this in current events but they said it was too controversial. Anyway, short story is that this kid is following a cop using his own dash cam. He has no front license plate and is playing loud thug music. The cop "brake checks" him and says he was tailgating. I don't think he was tailgating, I think he left enough room. Then the driver accused the cop of confronting him days later and calling him a coward for showing the video. Do you think he was too close?
Why would the cop brake check when he could total his police car? It's not just any police car, it's a Crown Victoria which they stopped making a few years ago. Those are starting to become a relic! You don't see many of those around anymore. It was probably one of the last ones in his department and he quickly wanted to get rid of it. Haha.
while the kid was in the wrong, he was following a bit close, but far enough that he was able to stop, the cop was in the wrong for brake checking like he did. cops need to set an example for the rest of us and drive safely. when they do things like this, they should be set down and reprimanded at least. and enough of these incidents they should be suspended without pay.

The truth is, the cop saw a black guy following him and got suspicious. He made an excuse to stop him and check his plate (which was missing in the front) and license.
When I drove a crappy car years ago, I got stopped many times by cops. Sometimes they said I did not signal when I changed lanes, other times they said my plate light did not work properly, and so on.
Of course, it is not politically correct to say "I want to stop you because you look like a black criminal", or "your car looks like a stolen one", ... but you can figure it out...
Gimme a break! The driver was black and even he doesn't say that it was a racial issue. But somehow you know the "truth".
Cop was an ***hole. It's in their genes. In other news, water is wet.
And...wtf that cop makes $120k?!?! You've GOT to be kidding me. Please tell me that's a misprint. Please please please.
