While I understand the power of video, I can't say I have ever thought it wise to stick a camera in the face of a cop I was negotiating with.
That said, I don't understand enough of the Spanish to know what is going on other than that he is asking for the cops' names - and they SHOULD have
their name tags on.
I am uncertain about the video stuff - being of an older generation where sticking a camera in a cop's face was bound to get you a beating and a
broken camera (phone these days).
To bad it wasn't chuckie in the vid , then we would have something to talk about
So understand dont waste your time always searching for those wasted years
face up and make your stand and realize that your living in the golden years
Hmmm... not what I thought I would see.
I see and hear a fluent Spanish speaker who wouldn't go when the cops were done with him after he apparently failed to stop at the intersection (it
doesn't matter if others didn't stop at this point) and insisted on getting officer's name and then pointed to the U.S. flag on his vest as if saying
the cop was unpatriotic to Mexico. The guy tried to pee off the cops and he finally succeeded.
Am I not seeing the same video or am I mission something else?

What I saw too. Guy should have stopped asking for the cops name when the cop was putting on his helmet to go. Guy pi$$ed off the cop.
At some point, esp. if a gringo has been stopped, it's permissible to ask for the cops name over and over. If you don't recognize when to stop,
and keep your mouth shut, you get what you get.
Lighten up people. These aren't bad cops -- ain't saying they're good cops -- think the guy made his point. He wanted a name, the cop wasn't
going to give him one. Game over. Sorry.

F*ck it.

Yes, you are mission something.

With you on that, this cannot be held up as anything typical,
the fact the driver spoke fluent Spanish, sounds like it is
his first language, sorta scews the incident. Know when to
pick your arguments. Not sure about good cop, bad cop

It looks to me like a third party was doing the camera. How does someone being taken down by the cops get such good video and audio. I think the whole
thing was staged.
