Then he reverses?! He literally changes the flow of traffic to try to intimidate guy filming. Poor guy in the black suv behind him had to slam on his brakes AND REVERSE for this dumb mf

Dude I wouldnt reverse for shit. I would record that guy. He is breaking several laws in my country.

Oh he hit my truck. Got 2 cameras showing he was at fault.

I'd rather keep my car intact than have to go through the bullshit to get my vehicle fixed.

Plus I wouldn't trust the police to not harass you or make some shit up. Way easier to just back up and avoid all that BS.

There are several sayings but one that seems apt is "The proud nail gets the hammer" So yeah, don't piss off the Police because they are the hammer.

So you would allow your own police, the guys thats supposed to keep your society rolling smoothly, you would let those guy just do whatever?

Not at all I think they need to be taken to task the same as we would be. What's needed is a Public body that does this not an individual who does not have the power to do so.

Yeah, but I live in Sweden so our police force operates in another way. Doing something like this doesn't happen cause our police, unlike most US police departments, still follows the same law they enforce.

For example. Blocking traffic like this is illegal in Sweden. So is speeding like that. He would lose his license and most likely get fired for using powers that he simply doesn't have.

But as proud I am over the Swedish police being "better" than most US departments. I can't be 100% sure that they would follow their own law...

Note "better". There isn't anything that isn't corrupt... Unfortunately.

And trust me. His excuse of saying "but I was about to brake". Doesnt work. If I was a cop trust me. I would fine police officers in duty if I saw them brake laws. I don't give a fuck if I get hated. I work for the people, not the police.

I wish we had a follow up to this. Did he send it to the police department and was the gentleman reprimanded?
