This may not be quite as stupid as the Lee Paige video, but it sure comes in a close second.
I like the way he laughs it off and then resumes writing the ticket on the guy he pulled over, as if that's where the moving violation occurred.
Why, thanks, Officer Only One. I'll take your safety lecture seriously, you freaking goofball. You gonna write yourself a citation now, seeing as how your actions endangered oncoming traffic by a matter of seconds, and could have killed someone? No? Why not? By the way, what was it your cruiser hit that stopped it?
Nice running form, too. Glad to see standards are being maintained. And I'm still trying to figure out which cartoon character your voice reminds me of.
Yeah, the car "jumped out of gear." I believe that. So is your department--the same people who will write one of us peons up for a burned out taillight-- putting vehicles with potentially lethal hazardous mechanical defects out on the street? Was the cruiser inspected afterward, and certified for safe operation? Or more likely, did we just witness incompetence and a face-saving lie? What did you put down on the incident and insurance reports?
I don't know how long ago this dashcam video was taken and can't find anything else about it. If someone can shed some light on the story behind it, please do so.
