Someone has gotten away with pushing their weight around for far too long.

[RoyGBiv]

At least she's out of that job.

And those officers did far better than I would have dealing with her. Kudos.

[Doc_Glock]

That is one of the most shameful episodes by a public figure imaginable. I don't know how cops deal with it. What a self absorbed ninny.

[psalms144.1]

I really need to look those guys up and take them out to lunch...

[blues]

What a pathetic fuckin' loser.


ETA: "pathetic"

[MI Law]

She was on the "ethics commission"? She seems about as qualified to teach it as these people are (https://vimeo.com/111360699)...

OMFG, that was the most awesome video. What an entitled bitch. It was also surprising how incredibly stupid she was. At first I thought she was impaired, but I don't think so.

[Dagga Boy]

And.....sadly normal when dealing with politicians and other entitled folks.

They didn't mess around with her either.

Just imagine how her version of events would have read w/o the camera present.

The officers in the OP showed admirable restraint, IMHO.

The entitled, self-important b**ch ought to be pilloried and peed on by all inclined passerby.

Sounds like a golden opportunity to start my all-you-can-drink lemonade stand...

I wonder if shouting "don't you know who the %^$% I am" is all that effective?

[RoyGBiv]

Probably not quite as good as "I know your boss".

If you’re The Godfather... maybe.

Or, do you know who my daddy is?

Or, do you know who my daddy is?

Many years ago, a common reply was, "No.....but I know your mom pretty well."

You'll have to talk to your mom about narrowing down who she was sleeping with 9 months before your birthday.

Best response I have ever personally witnessed:

"Yeah, didn't we bust him in a men's room a few months ago?"

Hats off to those two officers, and all others for that matter, for acting with such professionalism and restraint. Well done!

Meh. She wouldn't even be in the top 50th percentile of entitled assholes I've seen. She was downright congenial compared to some.

[StraitR]

Bravo Zulu to the officers. I think the best part is she ultimately realized that her frustration level was so high that she couldn't even speak, which resulted in her projecting accusations that the officer "couldn't put a complete sentence together". lol, too funny.

[PearTree]

I was thinking the same thing. I watched the video and was underwhelmed. That is a normal encounter for me in my neck of the woods.

Do you know who I am?

No that’s why I asked for your license.

I know the Chief!

Tell him I’m doing my job

[Totem Polar]

Or, do you know who my daddy is?

Back in my college days, myself and a buddy used to do a weekly gig together for grocery money. Since he didn’t have a car, I’d drive him home. Gig ended at 1am; we’d pack up, and I’d drive him to his dorm and then return home myself. This put me driving down a road that included the two main college meat market (spin the wheel, long island tea type places) at between quarter to 2 and 5 to 2am once a week (bar closing is 2am in this state). Oh, and I also drove a typically shitty old college car.

It would be an exaggeration to say that I got pulled every other week, but it was definitely more often than every 3rd week, averaged out. That sort of track record gives you lots of time to think up the perfect comeback. Time happens when I get lit up, and I see in the rearview that the cop isn’t much older than I am. Perfect.

"Evening Sir, may I see your license and registration please?" (This was before mandatory insurance)

"Officer, do you have any idea who my father is?" I reply, laying it on. I see this guy’s jaw tighten a little bit and, I swear to God, he actually hitches up his Sam Brown with a creak of leather before he responds, tersely:

“No Sir, I most certainly do not!”

(I let it hang for a sec)

"Neither does my mother!”

I see the slightest wisp of a smile at the corner of his mouth. He actually steps back and turns away for a sec, before retining to my rolled down window; "OK, what is going on here?”

I explain my work sitch, that I’ve not had a drop, point out the instrument worth 5 times the car in the back, explain that I get pulled on DWI fishing on this commute all the time, and that I therefore had months of prep to have a little bit of fun with him.

Hands license and green sheet back: “get the fuck out of here..."

Saw him chuckling on the way back to his PPV.

[Maple Syrup Actual]

A good friend of mine and I actually had a bet going on who would get pulled over first, and the deal was the first guy to get pulled over had to lead with "do you know who my father is?"

It was me, and I said it, waited long enough for the shock to set in, and then followed it up with "...because I thought maybe you could help me find him? Like as a police officer are you able to look up records or something, or, maybe I just look familiar because I know my mom kind of had a thing for cops back in the 70s, or like you just know somebody who knocked up a hippy back then, and really I just want to start a relationship with the guy because I need the guidance. Do you know who my father is? Like I'm genuinely asking here. Even a lead, or clues, or whatever. Anything helps. Seriously."

No ticket.

[PD Sgt.]

Had a lady tell us that she was close personal friends with one of our captains. I told her they must not be that close since he was now, and had been, a deputy chief for a couple years. Took a bit of the wind from her sails.

When she filed her IA complaint alleging rudeness, I pointed out that if I called the Deputy Chief a captain I am pretty sure he would correct me in an even more abrupt manner. They seemed good with that.

[txdpd]

Name dropping Chiefs and Majors, pretty much ends any discretion on my part and guarantees that I will take any available enforcement action. They can show their ticket with my badge number on it to their friend and see how far that gets them.

Speaking of name dropping and fixing things, my mom dropped my name to her elderly neighbor. I jokingly told her that I could fix her parking tickets. Talked myself out of a $170 when I paid those tickets and told her that was the only time I was "fixing" them for her.
