We see 2 different things, I see a kid tired of being harassed and doing something about it. That cop was out of line and needs not be a cop anymore.

When I was 20 years old I had a brand new Suzuki Samurai and had a pretty good paying job with a bog telephone company. I got pulled over in Longwood Florida. I was speeding (5 over the limit) on a very busy road in Longwood Florida a suburb of Orlando where I worked. A cop pulled me over, I never for a minute disrespected the man, I was in a shirt and tie and had a briefcase on my passenger seat. I was not a threat and I was a clean cut respectful young man.

The cop made me get out of my car while he screamed at me on top of his lungs about how he was not going to tolerate young punks like me speeding through his town. He made me read to him the "protect and serve" on the side of his car then he proceeded to lecture me about his job and my disrespect for him with my speeding.

Anyone that knows a Suzuki Samurai, knows they cannot get out of their own way, he questioned me about my clothes and why I was dressed up, I explained it was for work and I had to dress this way, he then taunted me about how I probably thought I was a bigshot and needed to be taken down a notch.

The whole thing ringed of this one, this kid was harassed and I am glad he caught it on tape.

Pretty son I will be daily driving my RX7 and I guarantee I will be pulled over. I have an Archos V700 and a Viosport cam and I think I might rig it up so I can record every time I drive. I get pulled over all the time with cops fishing for a problem in that car.

Kid has bad taste in music.
