Friday night's episode of that TV show had traffic stops in two different jurisdictions where people played the Sovereign Citizen routine. During one of those interactions, the officer asked where the person was "traveling" to? Their response? "In pursuit of happiness." Hopefully, they found happiness at the jail while being booked for DUI.....

Sedan_Clan wroteThere was a similar study done by a university here in Canada about 15 years ago. It tracked the number of use of force vs interactions with the public and then broke it down into minor injuries, serious injuries all the way up to fatal use of force. The stats were so ridiculously low that even the cops were surprised by it. I recall using the researcher to testify at a use of force death I was involved in investigating.When the actual statistics don’t match the outrage, the politicians and bureaucrats back pedal. Some years ago a study was performed by a black male Harvard or Yale Professor (…I can’t quite remember, but it was an Ivy League institution), and the data illustrated just how insignificant the percentage of police excessive force incidents occurred - particularly among blacks - relative to the number of traffic stops that occur across the country, and he was vilified. Black politicians and bureaucrats warned him that publishing the results would be a “career killer”, etc. etc. After all, once the veil is lifted, how do you continue to use race to control narratives?!? They couldn’t have “one of their own” obliterating the narrative, but thankfully and heroically, he published the study anyway.
As an aside, I've been retired 10 years now. Time flies. Keep your head down Clan.
Murf the Surf wroteThat’s great insight. If you happen to come across that study, please do share it. I would love to read it.There was a similar study done by a university here in Canada about 15 years ago.

Head down, but on a swivel indeed. Appreciate it, Sir!
The officer handled the situation corteously, kept his cool.

That good citizen almost talked himself out of a traffic violation into something more serious.
Cop has some patience.
Artemis wroteHe held his cool very well. Funny enough, I found out a few days ago that when a Tesla is in autopilot mode and a police officer initiates a traffic stop with lights and sirens, the car will pull itself over. I acquired this knowledge because the motorist I pulled over was knocked out asleep as the car drove itself (…which was the probable cause for my traffic stop), and it pulled itself over promptly after I initiated the stop. I had to wake the driver up after I arrived at the driver’s side window.The officer handled the situation corteously, kept his cool.

I think my next car is a Y L. With auto driving so I can eat my (forbotten) donut on the way home from Safeway.
Sadly it might be a while. Driving a 2021 X5 that has 42K on it and have no reason to upgrade. Only drive about 10K a year.
jamesinaz wroteI was really impressed as well. I want to replicate it, so my plan is to get someone with the feature in their Tesla to record the car’s behavior during a traffic stop.I am SOOOOO impressed with the Tesla auto driving system.

On that TV show over the weekend, Baton Rouge PD impounded a Corvette for allegedly drag racing away from a traffic light. Their law is that any vehicle being driven in a street takeover or even accelerating aggressively is impounded for 15 days on the spot...no court, no presumption of guilt, just a tow to the impound lot for a mandatory time-out.
Contrast that to a certain west coast city that we all know, where street takeovers resulted in riots/looting two nights in a row:
