Dallas sheriff makes up charge against biker on Memorial Day [video]

[Dahulk]

Remember the reason he was pulled over was due to his license plate tucked in under the the seat tail. Watch the video. It seems that it got out of hand when he ask for him to remove his helmet with the webcam.

in my opinion, he was extremely unprofessional, not to mention that trying to confiscate the guys camera without a warrant or probable cause is a violation of his 4th amendment rights. You may be pleased as punch to cooperate with law enforcement when they are being unreasonable, since it's easier for them to make a case against you when while you're busy incriminating yourself on god only knows what charge they come up with. I also highly doubt that something like an obstructed license plate is an arrestable offense, and was only placed under arrest so that they could justify confiscating his camera and performing a search.

This is slightly unrelated, but serves as a good reminder why you should never talk to the police. Yes, it's almost an hour long, but trust me, it's worth watching.

^^^ Were in the video was he acting like an idiot before being pulled over.He also stated he was not with them.The camera would prove or disprove it,probably why he was so ****** and lippy to the cop.
We give up our rights on a continual basis and allow government to walk all over us in Canada.We vote our leaders into office then they can do what they want with near impunity.It's called a Parliamentary system.In keeping our mouths shut we give up our rights

I wonder how many people can appreciate what you are saying.

no it wasn't.... The cop would of said that right off the bat. He was pulled over because he had a camera on his head and the cop wanted it.

Ok the cop overacted but I can just imagine how frustrated he must have been after this happened. I think he was just happy that a bike finally stopped for him.

Are you ****ed? If you want to be a cop, expect **** like that, AND learn how to control your emotions. Just because of what one person did on a bike doesn't mean you can go after someone else.
Let alone he was pulled over for having a video camera and when the fatass cop realized he couldn't take it he arrested him for his plate?!?!
WOW

 

[Holmes]

I don't quite agree.

The first video is completely wrong for the arrest in my point of view as that rider wasn't really doing anything wrong (but we only see what has been posted, nothing prior to it).

The second cop dashcam shows just how ignorant and stupid these bikers were. They were acting like if they were in a Mad Max movie. Also why did the girl in the back of the p/u bail her friends and what did she hand off to the other biker before.

So just to be clear, I am not justifying the arrest but the other bikers didn't really help the situation at all. Taunting the cops (brake checks, wheelies, burn-out) not going to get you on LEO's good side.

Just my $0.02

You sound like one of them with that wording

Personally I would have just handed him the microSD card after I broke it in half...well before getting arrested... he didn't do anything to help his situation, with the cops being so taunted .....

Throwing up hand signs to the cops while riding, or did you conviently miss that part? Keep wearing your tinfoil hat though, I'm sure it's serving you well.

Are you serious buddy? You should wrap that tinfoil around your head like a baked potato. Or join the police force, you'd fit right in.

 

[Shaman]

What happened here is typical in police work - they go for the easiest kill. This guy obeyed the laws, and therefore he stopped and allowed himself to become a victim.

And btw, most cops I know understand this perfectly. It's just how it is.

 

[Rob MacLennan]

Something to keep in mind, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation: People can and do get arrested for watching and recording illegal street races, all the time. They are considered parties to the act. If the rider in question was present to record the stupidity of his fellow riders, in some sort of organized jackassery, then he can be charged. Will it stand up in court? It might, if a connection between him and the idiots can be made. It doesn't really matter, though, because he'll be out thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars by that time.

I'm sure it's been said, but I LOVE when the cop is screaming "your license plate is obstructed" and is carrying the helmet away, and you can SEE THE LICENSE PLATE PERFECTLY IN THE VIDEO!!!

OMG ROFL!

I hope he gets some cash out of this case!

Maybe you should get a clue before you start throwing out phrases that you don't understand. Stupid is as stupid does, if you want to bring attention to yourself by throwing idiotic gestures at cops be my guest. Don't be surprised when it bites you in the *** one day. Only a complete fool instigates a police officer for no reason.

I think the problem here though is that some of you clowns have that ftp attitude and are angry at me cause I don't suffer from the same delusions. All I'm saying is that if you intend to **** with the p

I learned something new today. The gang sign for pass me or go ahead and go by.
Thanks, I will make sure I don't make the same mistake.

Someone may have already stated this earlier in the thread....

If he is truely innocent...

1. Pull off your GoPro.
2. Take out the 20 dollar - 2gb memory card
3. Hand it to the officer.
4. Be on your way.

If the biker took the stick out of his *** he wouldnt have spent the night in jail.

Yes, the officer was a bit out of line... but really.... its a $20 memory card, big deal! (at most!)

Yup, I agree. It's perfectly visible.




.... to a camera that's held at knee height, where you can still see that the plate is mounted at shallower than a 45 degree angle.

 

[kiley]

Ya I was wondering this too.
Could you see the plate while standing behind the bike?
I guess if you were 2 feet tall you could.

Tinfoil hat, I see no need simply because i disagree with you.It wasn't a gang sign he was waving him by IMO.I have do have a a sign for your comment though.
