Ummm… did we watch the same video? If I get stopped while carrying, I immediately inform the other officer I have a weapon and produce my commision card. Would the uniform have backed off at that? I don’t know, but he was definately provoked initially. The undercover was an ass, and was responded to as such.

AS crazy as this video is, both should have used Professional Courtesy and told each other to have a nice day. At what point do we as cops realize that we are out numbered, out gunned, over worked, and under paid. It’s us against the bad guys and a public that does not give a Damn. Let’s work together.

I respect the hell out of you guys and of what you do, but I don’t envy you one bit.
Now , Are you kidding me, the uc was a jerk from the start (black or white , still a jerk)You show professional courtesy until it REALLLLLLLY is not deserved and they were past that point. Dont give me this “he was giving him a hard time cause he was black” bullshit, he was giving him a hard time cause he was a JERKOFF and deserved it. And the trooper probably was going to let him go after treating him like the jerk he was.Cop or not you dont talk to a cop like that and grab your papers from him and call him a bitch ,then expect your professional courtesy.

I dont see what is wrong with checking the papers on a fellow officer when he is pulled over. Professional courtesy would say let him go after that with no hassel, this gentlemen that was pulled over acted hostile and was arrested, rightly so. The on duty cop was just doing his job. Doesn’t get any more complicated then that. Just my two cents

get off the racism issue. The plain clothes officer started the situation, if he would have not given any attitude and told him that he was a cop, it would have probably been over. Instead he said that, “I don’t want you fucking with me”. also what kind of cop carries his gun and doesn’t have his police ID on him? not in his truck!

All you guys kind of piss me off. First of all this profesional courtesy crap is out of line. How in the hell can we as officers enforce the law on the public if we cannot obey it ourselves. If you break the law you deserve the same punishment as any other person would get. To say that an officer doing his job and enforcing the laws is out of line is just plain wrong. If you are petty enoough to not back up that same officer who wrote you a citation after you did something wrong you are the one who should not be on the job. We are all supposed to be on the same side but that side should also be the right side.

Good job SUPER COP, you arrested a brother for a misdemeanor traffic offense. You are a real crime fighter. Maybe a healthy dose of whooopy with your wife would loosen you guys up a bit!

Dear left wing liberal communist “allcopsarefags”. While you may be under the belief that your intellectual superiority is above and beyond that of a Peace Officer, you are sadly mistaken. The stereotype that used to preceed this profession is about 30 years outdated. Most officers now undergo training and education in human behavior, litigation, mediation, and sesitivity training beyond your world of waiting on tables part-time and hanging out in coffee shops complaining about the “man”. I am no fortune teller, but something tells me that you once got caught doing something you should not have been doing or your dislike of authority may be due to lack of daddy hugging you often enough? Anyway, thank you for the well put thoughts (despite your grammar errors Ie, Capatlization).

This race thing has gotten completely out of hand. HELLO, it is now 2007. Get over it. Move on. Black and white alike. If you have 50 crack rocks in your pocket, you have 50 crack rocks in your pocket. The color of the person wearing the pants is irrelavant. However, professional courtesy amidst fellow law enforcement officers is one of those un-written code of ethic type things which I do not expect any civilian person to fathom. I am convinced that anyone who electively pursues a law enforcment career, is a hero. The level of bravery required to do this job is immeasureable and I do not expect “copsarefags” to understand such a concept. Here “copsarefags”, if you and your hippie friend are sitting around smoking Clove cigarretts, and you have the only pack, you would surely offer one to a fellow hippie would you not? It’s the same concept, Cop for Cop, Hippie for Hippie.

As far as the person being stopped for Driving While Black (a.k.a. DWB), Bullshit. He was speeding. He was not holding his credentials out the window while speeding along. His attitude was somewhat justified because, like many other normal cops, once he displayed his ID to the trooper, the trooper should have simply advised him of his speed and requested that he slow it down. The fact that the trooper was using sarcasm during the stop was entirely innappropriate for a “TROOPER”. These are the same people who pride themselves on their level of professionalism. HA! The plain clothes guy had an absolute right to be pissed off. A warning should have been sufficient. THE END!

If you break the law and get caught you have to face the consequenses. Some of you people still seem to have a problem with this concept. We are supposed to enforce the law equaly and without bias. This means you have the same penalty whether you are a dopper or a deputy. Yes, I would right my own mother a ticket if she broke the law. I am proud of the way I do my job. Eveyone else who does this job should also be proud, proud of the fact that we enforce the law not break it.

At least someone commenting on this has some sense. “Trooper” is the first one commenting that has stated the obvious:
“We are supposed to enforce the law equaly and without bias.”
It doesn’t matter that the UC was a cop. If he had broken the law, he should be treated like any other person on the street. End of discussion. One of the main reasons that so many citizens do not like the police is because they appear to look the other way when another officer commits a crime.
Something that police officers need to understand and take to heart is that because you enforce the law, you are expected to obey every aspect of the law, whether you like it or not. Until ALL police officers do this, they will continue to come under harsh criticism for anything that even appears suspect.
After all, how can you expect to be trusted to enforce the laws if you don’t follow the laws?

Well I see the world is still going round, and everyone still has different opinions,you know from reading what ive read I applaud “TROOPER”, However under no circumstances would I write my own mother a citation, unless she would have committed a felony. after all she is the one brought me ino this world, and “TROOPER”, Could you be the one cop in your state that has never give anyone a break. Boy if thats so it must really suck to be you. however I do think the off duty cop got exactly what he deserved, when he stated he had a gun on his side,(concealed), and no police I.D. in his wallet or hand, I think the policeman had every right to pull his weapon and order this man to lay down on the ground like every one else.

As far as cops writing cops, I can understand being wrote if the cop being stopped has an attitude such as this one did. but come on, cops help cops, lawyers help lawyers, criminals help criminals, etc etc etc!!!!!!. If cops start writing cops for minor violations, then your gonna have cops fighting cops, and personally I think these guys have enough stress put on them everyday without having to worry about another officer conspiring against him. Sure if he breaks the law in a serious way he should be wrote, but if any offduty policeman is stopped for a misdemeanor and he gets out realising he done wrong “WITHOUT ANY ATTITUDE” then I feel like he should be given a warning. and if he’s stopped again for the same offense, then I think he should be wrote because he had his warning.

I never said I would write an officer on something that I wouldn’t write someone else. If the offense warrants a warning I would give the officer one. Yes, I do write warnings some of the time.

From the looks of the video, it really looks bad for the off duty cop, BUT perhaps if the officer had the violation on video it would clear this up. maybe the off duty cop had every reason to be pissed. failure to change lane is really a small violation, and more of a probable cause stop. “WHO KNOWS”.

You talk about professional courtesy towards other cops, but no one has mentioned the fact that professional courtesy also means not putting your fellow officers, same department or not , in a position where they have to stop you in the public eye.

As a layperson, I can’t comment overly much on “professional courtesy” vs. “stickler for rules”.
I admit in my personality I’m more of a stickler for rules type. I have worked, for example, as a government bureaucrat in my province’s (I’m Canadian) health system. I made it my mission to do my job right every time.
That meant going the extra mile regardless of what my supervisors wanted and helping those who needed my help if it took extra time. Fortunately, my supervisors appreciated it far more than they objected to it.
It also meant, whether I was talking to an important businessperson, a politician, a fellow employee who I happened to be serving, or whatever, I collected all premiums owed to my province regardless of what their feelings were on the subject. Why? It was my job.
But that’s nothing compared to being a cop and I accept different people would do the job differently. Sp, accepting that different police officers do their job in unique ways, it was the responsibility of the person accused of violating the law to accept their ticket and contest it in court.
If he wanted to call the Trooper an asshole, so be it. But running, resisting?
Utter stupidity and FAR beyond anything the trooper did. “Sarcasm” if the Trooper was guilty of that does not justify the plain clothes cop committing arrestable crimes.
It was truly stupid.
So if they were both at fault (and I don’t acknowledge that; I think the ticketing officer was fine), the plain clothes officer was way more at fault.

The Plainclothes officer was wrong. I’m just stunned that some other officers cant actually see that. I believe this man had an attitude from the start. He got out of that vehicle expecting a break. You dont grab at an officer like that and you dont yell “dont fuck with me”. Cops know that it is verbally escalating when stuff like that happens and red flags go up. This PC officer should have known better and should have known that the uniforms would act on those words.
Now let me also say that the uniform officer did not need to make the little comments he made about the stupid sticker and not knowing the law. But thats not enough for the PC officer to act like he did. It could have and should have been verbally worked out.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with cops letting one another off with minor traffic violations. What sickens me is when a bunch of them or even whole departments try to cover up far more serious crimes - shootings, assults and suchlike. I think police corruption has had its heyday but there are still occasional incidents making the news.
As for this vid’…. nobody comes out of it smelling of roses. They all embarrass themselves and make a laughing stock of their profession to the detriment of decent cops everywhere. The latter must be cringing in their boots (and cruisers) when they see this.
Since the “stars” of the show have attracted most of the comments, I’d like to draw attention to the cop on the right when they hold their cuffed fugative in front of the camera at the end. The way he strikes that smug pose…. just like a hunter posing with his kill… or worse… like one of those 1950’s KKK members parading their latest victim prior to lynching (for looking at his sister the wrong way). Sadly… I get the impression from watching this that those kind of sentiments provide some of the motivation for the arresting officers’ “dedication to duty” here.

I am a UC officer, and no longer have a clean cut look, and appear to be a piece of trash worth stopping. I’ve been stopped by Troopers and other city departments several times, and have never had a problem. I always inform the other officer that I am carrying and produce my creds. From there all one has to do is remain professional, leaving it up to the officer/trooper to determine if he’ll write a cite or not. The UC in this video played into the Troopers hand. They both acted like asses, and also made an ass of their agencies as well. Although, I must admit, when I worked traffic years ago, it would piss me off to see obvious equipment violations on other cops private vehicles (tint, def.exhaust, etc.). “Professional courtesy; hope for it, but never expect it.”

It was sad for me to watch this video. Fuck - two officers fighting?! In my country (Slovenia) different departements helps another.
Both are pricks, specially trooper, who is still giving him ticket after he told him he’s a cop. Tommorow maybe trooper will need his backup.
Every proffesion has it’s benefits. Baker gets free bread, butcher meat nad cop gets away with traffic violation.

Hey guys, it’s called a “professional courtesy” not a ” professional right.” If you get it, say “thanks” and have a nice day. If you don’t, obey the law next time. The off-duty cop was a serious ass. The job is dangerous enough without making it more so by being non-compliant.

there were a lot of good comments here; there were also some bad ones. i applaud the good and overlook the bad. all of us have been given some amount of latitude. exercising that is not corruption—it is being smart. i saw two guys, with guns, trying to control the situation. the simple fact is that the on-duty will have that control every time, even if he has to call for backup. it doesnt matter who is right, you play the hand you are dealt. to do that, you have to play it smart. cops are human. sometimes we have bad days, and sometimes we do stupid things. hopefully, we learn from it. everyone who has seen the clip and read the comments knows what happened. the question is this: how will we learn from this? i hope all who have read the comments will be able to use the information presented here to play it smart so as to live another day. then you can go out there and bring in the bad guy who threatens us all. peace, and may God bless us all.

There was additional footage to this incident that was not shown here. I saw it in its entirety on one of the cop shows. The official testimony of the Uniformed said he spotted the Explorer, across a 4 lane highway that had blocked its county id on the plates. So he intiated a t/s. In actuality, it was later brought out that many vehilces in that area heading northbound are profiled to be drug runners. That’s the fuel to the anger of the plain clothes who was a MAJOR in neighboring PD. Every one who works that are knows this. That’s not an excuse to either. But it accounts for the hostility.

I remember this case well. The Black guy was a high ranking officer, and the arresting officer “prick” pulled him over illegally. He said a portion of his license plate was covered and that it was illegal however he was lying and in fact he was warned many times by previous judges that he could not pull people over for that reason because it was not a violation. That stretch of highway is known for drug trafficking which is why he pulled the black guy over. In the end the black guy received all his back pay and the white guy got promoted. This is clearly a bad situation I recommend everyone see the full video which shows the cops searching the SUV like he is a criminal. Imagine what would have happened if this happened to Joe public. This is Bad Business.
