Transcripts
you know the hatred of police and law
enforcement these days and police
enforcing specific laws traffic laws and
a lack of personal accountability you
see on social media these days it's
truly astounding I've been posting tips
on crime prevention traffic enforcement
all kinds of Secrets and tactics used by
police for many years now across all
platforms and it never ceases to amaze
me how many people use the same old
comments that it's nothing but a money
grab or another form of Taxation now
there's actually two reasons in
particular why those comments make no
sense at all and I'll get into that in a
couple minutes I'm not talking about
what people can perceive to be speed
traps here okay I'm talking about all
kinds of enforcement in fact back in the
day I used to purposely post where the
police were going to be setting up radar
or laser the next day or the next week
uh because of a high level of complaints
we would post exactly where the police
were going to be uh focusing on their
speed enforcement and some people would
actually get mad about this some of the
police officers would get mad about this
but at the end of the day when you look
at the stats it actually didn't change a
thing we would post the locations where
police are going to be all week they're
going to be concentrating on this area
this crime specifically and there was
not one drop in a level of uh tickets or
fines that were given up I've posted
hundreds of videos over the years
explaining the laws in a very very easy
easy way I dumb it down and again I have
to say this I don't dumb things down for
you the audience I dumb things down for
me so I can explain it or I can
understand it more cuz it can be very
confusing hey officer can I ask you a
question about your equipment sure what
is that right there it's an incar camera
incar camera what does that mean it
records interaction with the public and
the police is it always recording no
it's records when it's the emerg
equipment is activated or I manage
is there sound on it uh no yes there is
sound it does record voice okay thanks
officer no problem good thing to have
yeah it is take care yeah some of the
videos cover speed enforcement
distracted driving impaired driving seat
belts not stopping for red lights not
stopping for school buses we've covered
aftermarket vehicle accessories and mods
such as exhaust systems window tense
license plate covers we've covered the
trespass to property act theft robbery
you name it anything that people request
we usually make a video on but again
what gets me is the amount of people
coming up with the same unoriginal
comment that this is another form of
Taxation or a money grab for the city
and I explained that that logic doesn't
make sense for two reasons the first
reason is that the crime committed was
completely preventable I'm going to use
speeding as an example because it's so
common and I'm not talking about a speed
trap okay or doing a couple couple kilm
over the limit I'm talking about
excessive speeding or stunt driving in
excess of 50 km over the limit I heard
if you're doing 49 over the limit and
above you get charged with stunt driving
is that what that guy did yes the driver
was charged with stunt driving excessive
speed to be exact for this driver was
120 km hour in a 40 kmph zone so what
happens with his driver's license in the
car does he lose it the license is
suspended for 30 days automatic and the
vehicle's impounded for 14 days
the amount of people that get mad at the
police in the comments of those
excessive speeding videos again it's
astounding imagine defending that and
thinking that it shouldn't be enforced
same with running stop signs especially
in school zones parking your vehicle in
a handicap spot because you just wanted
to run in for one minute hey officer you
seriously giving that guy a ticket for
parking the accessibility spot that's
right how much it's $450 he was
literally here for 2 minutes okay he
went in he grabbed the coffee he came
back have an accessible permit you
cannot park here there's plenty of other
spots you could have walked over to did
the police somehow force you into doing
these things were you tricked into doing
these things no not at all you made a
conscious decision don't park there
don't speed don't run that stop sign
that's on you I've posted videos in the
past saying specifically this is what
police are looking for save your
hard-earned money don't give them excuse
go spend money on your family member
your boyfriend your girlfriend your
partner blow it on useless things like
like I do all the time but don't just
deflect responsibility whatsoever take
responsibility for your actions now the
second excuse and I shouldn't really
joke about this is that there's a
genuine safety concern for yourself or
somebody else if you don't follow these
laws or if you do those things the
easiest example for this is not stopping
for a school bus it's a very expensive
fine there's a lot of points your
insurance is going to go up but is it
really a money grab hey so you just give
a guy a ticket what for failing the stop
for school bus oh yeah school's back how
much is that it's $490 6 points so your
insurance goes up too 100% you know what
should be more in my opinion thanks
officer stop for school buses you got it
I can give another extreme example
drinking and driving driving while
intoxicated how many innocent people
lose their lives every year because
somebody chose to get behind the wheel
of a vehicle and drive after they've
been drinking alcohol you wouldn't call
that a money grab now let's compare that
to the distracted driving finds which
people do call a money grab I don't have
the exact stats with me I posted them in
the past but in the province of Ontario
over the last couple years there's been
more accidents or injuries related to
distracted driving than impaired driving
I'll take that a step further looking at
the amount of collisions injuries and
deaths caused by impaired driving
compared to distracted driving every
year if you're the passenger of a
vehicle would you feel comfortable
letting the driver take out a bottle of
wine and start drinking it while they're
driving no I don't think so looking at
this from a statistical point of view if
you're the passenger of a vehicle you
should feel just as uncomfortable about
the driver pulling out a cell phone and
start texting away messaging people
while they're operating a motor vehicle
another popular comment that comes up
time and time again on police Pages
where they talk about traffic
enforcement is go fight real crime
that's a dumb comment and makes no sense
at all it makes as little sense is
firefighters don't drive around in their
trucks looking for fires so police
officers shouldn't be driving around
wasting their time looking for crimes I
mean give your head a shake traffic
crimes cost Society more devastate more
Canadian families and inflict more
physical insult than all other crimes
combined there's something to say for a
strong police presence in certain
situations flying the flag as it's
commonly referred to back when I was a
school resource officer if we had
information about a fight or something
big that was going to be taking place
after school we would call up primary
sponse uh we would ask the dispatchers
to detail some Primary Response vehicles
to the area in the effort of preventing
the fight from happening it works I
think some of the biggest haters or the
people who leave the most vindictive
comments on these social media posts
regarding traffic enforcement are
probably from people who have received
those tickets and now this is their way
of lashing out they don't know what to
do so they take it online cuz that's
what people do these days all right
before I end this video this is very
important okay I'm trying to save you
money when this video is over go down to
your vehicle check and make sure the
ownership is there or a copy of the
ownership make sure it's signed and make
sure your proof of insurance are in the
vehicle as well or you have a copy of
the proof of insurance these are fines
these are tickets they're unnecessary I
told you I'm trying to save you money
don't give the cops an excuse thank you
very much for paying attention and until
the next video be safe out there look
after one another and perhaps we will
see you again
