"I'll get my truck one way or another" speaks volumes about how he conducts him self being in a position of power.
He is no longer a cop.......Watch the update
What update
@@jamesmiller4085 same channel, another update
You certainly said it all correctly. Repulsive how this pig and his wanna be cop wife acts. Thinks she's above the law. See how the corruption overflows into spouse then their kids. As a representative of Augsta Georgia, they should be ashamed to have this low life working for them. Can you imagine being anything but white on a dark road with this armed thug? Absolutely disgusting.
"I'll get my truck!" Pays fees and gets truck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And if it was anyone else, the cop would say “ignorance is no excuse!”
Exactly, ignorance of the law is no excuse, !!!
This shit actually terrifies me. That cop shouldn’t be trusted with protecting a 5-Layer Burrito, yet alone protecting the public!
I am a retired police officer. Guys like that are embarassing. You keep doing what you are doing. My motto always was the following: The answer to anyone else's bad behavior... is NEVER your own bad behavior. Love the channel!
Right. His wife thinks she knows something. Cops dont know laws in general they enforce warrants and generate revenue with citations is all. This fat POS is a tyrant in the streets.
And then you get the police who park in the disable parking bay, claiming that they are on 'a shout' or that the rules state that they can.
"But they bait us" into acting a fool and violating rights lol
How many times did you stand by and do nothing while one of your blue line scumbags wronged someone
Thank you sir for your comments. I think the public ( right, left, white, black,rich,poor, immigrant or multi generational) all appreciate, respect and support good, compassionate, and professional law enforcement officers of all kind. These guys who are bad,, make your profession, ( an honorable profession,) and the good officers within it, look bad. Thank you for your service and for speaking up against officers that tarnish the force.
have never heard such a clear butt dial in my life! Glad I saw the update first so I know the outcome.
UPDATE:
The man in this video has been identified by internal affairs and is NOT currently an officer in the state of Georgia. The sheriffs department is aware of the situation as it stands currently. We will be posting an update video here shortly. Thanks for tagging along!

Oh Really ?
Thank you for keeping us up to date 👍👍👍
We did it good job y’all 🙏
Also most cops would pay the fee due to being understanding of your job. I knew That was odd but once again Jeff comes out triumphant lol 😂
Jeff I’m glad checked out his status with the Police Dept ,
Accepting favors completely goes against ethics in law enforcement. Any cop that expects special treatment based solely on their occupation is a corrupt cop.
Welcome to Georgia where the good ol' boy club is alive and well....apparently.
@@AlisonCasilli If only that were only an issue in GA, or even just in the South... little pockets of that hiding everywhere.
I wish my country could understand this. Qualified immunity is a cruel joke.
So... all of them.
Except some places offer discounts and such for police officers. Cops didn't do that, why would expecting the law enforcement discount at a place that offers it make them corrupt?
saying "I'm gonna get my truck back one way or another." can be taken as a threat, and that ring tone is a crime against humanity
Need to improve sound quality. Much of it is unintelligible. Thank you
😂😂😂 It’s not just the quality. It’s that corny vibe. This comment killed me
Not saying I disagree, but taking every vague comment as a "threat" is pussy sh*t.
Reply " try it and break the law "
You can have the ham sandwiches i like turkey more
Amen!!! Thank you for treating this couple with the same level of professionalism and respect you would provide anyone else! It speaks volumes about your character and how you run your business. Cop or con, if you choose to ignore the rules you pay for rolling the dice!
Bro bravo to you, as a business owner you have no idea how well this makes you look. No jumping in on the bandwagon, but de escalating and keeping him moving along. Tip of the hat to you.
I'd have to agree ,I have seen cops manipulate people thousands of times here on YT
In person quite a few but the way you handled yourself kept him from escalating and you know he was mad.
I think you have a great attitude and behave like a gentleman in every aspect I've seen so far.
And knowing how people are especially when they feel you've been wronged and everyone kinda trying to make each dollar stretch the stress would have to be horrible sometimes.
People are human and lord knows we make bad decisions under stress
"Business" lol. Subsidized by the government to destroy the working class. Scumbags.

I like the way you videotape everything, that is very smart if the person who was towed tries to blame you guys for damages or whatever. You make a great team!!!!
I am a wrecker operator in Arkansas and deal with very similar situations. Good job man for staying professional! I know it’s hard to stay professional with irate customers but it’s part of the job and in my opinion you done a great job!
They call you guys "wrecker operators" in Arkansas? 😂
when you steal a car from someone and they come to get it back, the correct term is victim not customer.
U r a worthless person

“I’ll get my truck one way or the other”. I love the calm in control response “OK”. I snickered out loud.
Ya he got his truck one way, the same way we all would have . Paying the bill. Not or another.
This officer revealed his true self and he is a danger to his community. The threat and justification is somthing he would never accept from someone he towed. Took an oath, given respect and the ability to take human life but unable to crawl out of his play pen and behave like that responsibility means anything to him.
Wtf are you talking about? How is he a danger to his community? Lol

Wow! Just wow! I can’t believe he’s a cop and talk like that given that he’s from Georgia even. You’re right everyone has to make a living. He just flat out lied to you and would arrest someone for the same thing. Not cool dude! Great video Jeff as always!
Not a cop
ALL COPS act like this! They are the true sovereign citizens of the nation as they actually are above the law most of the time. This is one of those rare events this THUG TRYANT COP couldn’t bully his way out!!
Why would being from Georgia make any difference?
@@GeorgeBonez no all Cops don’t act like that…
@@warrenmcelroy4718 They are all liars. Trust me bro I used to be one. I had to leave after 6 years because I wasn’t thugish enough
You did an amazing job handling this guy! He is the reason so many police officers 👮♀️ get bad names! We do not need people like him as police officers. Integrity and intelligence should be displayed at all times, not just when people are watching. Thanks for the warning for the language, it helps! We hope to one day meet you while we are in the area! Take care!! Give the puppy doggies a treat from us!
Is he? Is he REALLY the reason why cops get a bad name?! You mean, it's NOT the lying, beatings, assaults, murders, drug dealing on duty... It's because he ignored a VERY SMALL sign on a BIG pole. "Ohhohohooooo, ignore the sign buddy we gotcha! " Really?!
More than likely, it is against his department’s policy to solicit a gratuity like he did.
Police are literally gangs for the state..qualified immunity will get them out of almost anything. When you are allowed to live above the law..like cops are..its easy to let that power and privilege go to your head. Most cops are convinced they're above the law.
Absolutely does give police a bad name. Just one other thing, but his dumbass even said he was from Augusta Georgia. Now he's calling you a liar and still thinking that just because he's a cop he should get a freebie.
@@RK-cg4nr, just one more thing. How's that? We all know they don't need anymore help being tyrant scum.
Jeff you are a very respectable person. You calmness and professionalism is what we need more of in society. That man and his wife need to realize his badge doesn't give them privilege or make them superior. I know many officers and he is the type that gives them a bad rep. If you ain't paying your vehicle ain't staying. Figured that out my first time in Gaitlinburg. Keep the content coming.
he tows people stuff off and holds it for ransom. there is nothing respectable about that. I don't really blame as we as citizens are the dumb fucks for paying taxes and then still allowing the wealthy to purchase all of the lots and then charge us to use them. we are now doing this for housing. while he may not be running scams, there are videos going back 30 years of independent investigators showing how slimy the tow truck industry is. somebody should not be able to possess your expensive property. it should be some kind of massive find that you've can fight in court. we're f****** idiots and all of them are scumbags
Thanks for confirming the hellish parking conditions in Gatlinburg. I will take my tourist dollars and go elsewhere. For sure I wont be subjected to the local bottom feeders and their "Gotcha" attitude over a couple of hundred bucks.
You're professionalism and the way you handle heated situations are superb sir. I'm sorry you and your wife have to deal with difficult people all the time. Great job! Love your videos 👏👏👏👏
I have got to defend Country Inn and Suites. None of the staff would tell that liar to park in the numbered spaces. We have stayed there many years and been warned every time not to park there. The staff are great hard working people I have never noticed what color they are. Everything Autos did a great job handling this situation.
Cops are trained to lie
the police always lie...
No one believes police. They are the biggest liars. Oh politicians are worse.
@@reallyskeptical trickle down lies from the top.
It's easy to tell when someone's lying if they mention they're a cop...
You handled them great. Yes a police officer should never act like that. As my great grandmother would say it only takes one bad apple to ruin the barrel. You do a wonderful job and are the calmest when people act like this. Enjoy your videos!!
Police call him one bad apple...exception.. an annomaly... etc
It is not one bad apple. The tint on the front windows of his truck is illegal as crap. The reason he can get away with it on his private vehicle is that another cop will not ticket him. Which makes them all bad apples.
another pig tyrant showing true colors
@@jonguyton1 so true ✌️✊✊🇺🇸🇺🇸
The whole phrase is one bad apple spoils the bunch and it's true. There are no good cops.
Type of cop who believes that wearing a badge gives him free coffee and donuts at Dunkin donuts for life.
Thank you for making sure to record his comments during that butt dial! I'd find out what department he was with and make sure to let them know how he was acting while trying to get discounts for his mistakes. Also, thanks for that little jingle and dancing of the camera. Got a good chuckle out of it!
If I ever get towed I want a tow business owner like you. Your character, integrity and sincere heart are great traits to possess but more than that you are a great human being! That couple especially the public servant should be ashamed. Thank you for calling out the blatant racism.
It’s easier to stay calm when all the cards are in your favor. Maybe he is a happy calm guy all the time but I can tell you the person who feels violated is always the one who’s car has been taken from them. Whether repoing or tow aways they’re always mad because they feel stolen from, so put yourself in their shoes too, how would you feel waking up or coming back to your hotel to find your vehicle missing? I’m not condoning yelling and attitudes but I’m saying the deck is so firmly stacked against them, they can’t NOT be in a bad headspace.
@308 Dad Wrong. He is a grown ass man and needs to handle his emotions. The only deck stacked against him is his own ego and entitlement. Obey the laws like everyone else and you won’t get towed. Feelings are not necessarily reflective of the truth. They can be misguided, as they were in this case. I’ve been in his shoes. Know how I felt? I felt like a moron for not following the rules.
@@MrDantheNobody I have experience taking the cars away. What experience in this situation do you have? If the answer is none, you lack the basic understanding to be able relate and therefore you lack the experience to judge righteously. I’ve been cussed at and threatened because I was taking the car. I can put myself on that side and I have empathy for those who were on the other side, buying time to get more money to pay the note or in this case he deserved it but still it’s not a good feeling. If you can’t have empathy and lack experience then your opinion is moot.
The only thing I dont get about this is why it is so bad/racist to point out a language barrier? Seriously seams like click bait. I grew up and live in upstate NY. This is so tame. These people are obviously not racists if you have half a brain and have met true bonafide racists. We all do/say things that are wrong. To act like and say things like this are racist is why the word has been watered down to the point where it almost means nothing. Every difference/discrepancy between different peoples does not equal racism. We are a nation of immigrants from all over the world. Heres some truth: You arent perfect either, as exemplified by your labeling a person a racist who is not a clear racist. That is not a term to throw around all willy nilly. If you do, it will mean nothing. Save that crap for actual racists who deserve to be pushed out of society. This race crap blows my mind...ppl have been made stupid.
@@SwampyMusic They’re trying to get enough viewers and daily views to get paid by UA-cam so they have to sensationalize things they otherwise would ignore, I mean it’s what they thing the masses want.
Its crazy when people drop racist remarks around people they dont know assuming they feel the same way....
Crazy, right?! Almost like they do it without being held to count in almost every instance so they feel SAFE in doing so
Right my adult children love when people drop the N word when talking to them and very politely say this conversation is over for I am black and I won’t be disrespected like that. Then they walk away with the fool mouth hanging open. It’s not that they go around telling people they are 1/2 black but they both for obvious reasons despise racism so they use it to embarrass the racist . People remember not all of our nationalities so through through our eyes and our hair in our skin so check yourself when you’re talking this way you’re not made to look like the fool.
@@UsernameRobbielthey were made to feel safe.
It can be frustrating to be in TN and have people not speak the language of the area.
@@JanieBgrandlanguage barriers are difficult to navigate all over the world. 🤷🏼♀️ Why do you get to be racist if it’s in Tennessee?? I travel all over and I have difficulties with people understanding me. Does that mean I’m less than the local residents? You sound stupid. And don’t bring Tennessee into your dumb *** remarks. You’re making us look bad.
People will show their true colors when they feel free to do so, I respect you sir!

@@Jordan23501 learn how to spell boy.
I really appreciate your integrity and ability to stay professional. It’s truly disappointing that a police officer would speak of other humans just doing their job that way. I have a lot of respect for you bc ik towing can be a rough industry
Y’all handle things very professional. Thanks for being a great road warrior! Had a great time watching and thanks for letting us tag along!!
As a (retired) LEO, this saddens me to see such a disregard for the law, then add a racial remark. "Black ass" isn't the issue. It's the way/context he used it that made it racial. Unacceptable.
He better hope someone doesn't call the employing agency.
Y'all just pray for this man.

Hey Jeff I just want to take a moment to thank you and your wife and your daughter and son for all the great work on your towing videos I absolutely enjoy your content I have been watching for a couple of months and just now decided to become a member you guys do such great work thanks again
Hey, thanks for bringing this to light, and being ultra professional and humane about the situation. You're putting out some serious positive energy and I appreciate it.
Too bad your profession has predators at HOA TAKING GROCERIES out of a car and hooking them up. Who's the criminal? FO.
I had my vehicle towed, I thought it was stolen but it turned out the bank was putting my automatic monthly payments into my savings account and not withdrawing them. We had a good laugh and I was relieved. You kept it super professional and non confrontational which always will not escalate the situation. I'm a retired medical professional and they say we make the worst patients, imagine same is true for law enforcement on the wrong side of what they enforce. Just subscribed.
So true, Cops are the biggest criminals in some places.
That sounds sus. How do you not get a notice of delinquency before it is repoed? Also, they were moving money from checking to savings, not the loan? How?
And people wonder why certain people have a hard time trusting those who are supposed to protect and serve.. prime example of why!
Love your work bud. Keep on keeping on! ✌️❤😊
"You don't take cards? Well, that shit ain't happening and one way or the other I'm gonna get my truck."
Yeah, OK, Jethro.
well, one way or another, he DID get it, but wasnt happy about it
One of the reasons I quit working at Anakeesta. The 1% of the tourists that come down here have the worst attitudes and the cops that visit think that the rules do not apply to them. Taught me never to get a job dealing with tourists again. Great job Jeff and Kristen!
I always like the ones that get here 15 mins. before closing & say we drove 3 hours to get here. like we are going to stay open because your stupid.
I worked in tourist areas when younger. So when I travel I trest the locals like I'm going to see then again, which isnt asshole like.
Cops NEVER think the rules apply to them. EVER!!
Working with the public sucks 95% are nice people 5% make the job unbearable
i work in tourist hell on the texas coast. I wouldnt change anything. everyday is an adventure lmao
You are literally the most polite towie I've ever seen congrats for having such class in a stress full situation❤
I like how he “casually” drops that he’s a cop several times trying to get special treatment.
Mainly due to police and tow companies setting up deals and friendships over impound calls, some towns have a rotation to stop favoritism. But try getting on the rotation as a new tow company in the area lol. But if you anger the police they will stop calling you even if you are on the rotation, they just say customer requested "X" company to bypass you. So they learn to expect the gold treatment from Drivers owners of tow companies. Flip side is wrecker owners are almost exempt of traffic tickets of any type etc.

I appreciate you speaking up at the end. I am Southern and I heard a lot of racism growing up, (even within my extended family.) My parents didn't allow that in our household, and taught us that we are all equal in the eyes of God - black, white, cop, non-cop, rich, poor, etc. My daddy grew up in Sevierville, so I spent many a day in that area, and I know there are still people around that may not speak up. You have character my friend. Good for you. I wish that more modern Southern Men, would read the bible (or the golden rule) more than they claim to. Times they are a changin'
This is America speak English or get the fuck out
Just so you know, the "golden rule" far predates the bible and there is really nothing unique or important about it. Live a good life with your good morals and put superstitious bunk aside. Its just as easy to use a holy book for bad as youve used it for good. Times, they are a changin
Racial doesn't equal racist.
@@brandendierker5873Anything can be used for evil regardless of it's intended purpose. For example, you use your veil of "enlightenment" to hide your bigotry and hate as you address faith as "superstitious bunk". That tactic predates the golden rule and has been used by hate mongers for millenia. The times don't change that much it seems. And I'm agnostic, so save your hateful response for someone you can actually offend.
Yes because if we just close our eyes and act like there isn’t a real problem in this country and pat ourselves on the back because we signal really hard and break solidarity we can pretend everything is fine, right?
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEl a few days ago.❤

No matter how many times I see a tow truck operator in action I'm always like "damn he got that up quick"
Kudos on dealing with that guy the way y'all did.
I've seen it done faster....I'm thinking dam hurry or u gonna get shot
Living in Boston, I've dealt with towing a bit. Sometimes for missing a sign, and sometimes for some questionable callings, but it was never on the tow company, it was on the caller.
Most tow companies are very neutral on the situation, the bottom line is if you're going to fight it, you fight it in court.
So for these super friendly guys to go through this whole explanation is way above and beyond. Great way to mitigate the anger and frustration of being towed.
Makes me feel good to see someone call someone out for racist actions .... no matter what the situation they bring race into the picture .....when actually race ..the color of our skin ,,,country we are from...or our nationality ......changes nothing about what we're trying to resolve ! ...We'll never make it through those pearly gates ppl ...with a heart filled with hate !!!
Perfectly said John!!
@@EverythingAutos ❤️👊🏾
What racist action?.I must of missed something
@@richardhiller3135 Clearly you didn't watch the whole video. Not only did the cop lie but he is clearly a racist. Just because he didn't drop the N bomb doesn't get him a pass. People always show their true colors/feelings when the don't realize they are being recorded. He'll be the same guy that claims he's not but the video speaks for itself.
@@richardhiller3135 the guy (cop) said " I told his black ass" talking about a hotel employee I do believe. That's exactly why there is hatred towards cops from minorities. The guy should not be a police officer because he can't be colorblind. LEAVE COLOR OUT OF IT!!!!
Isn't paying the ATM fee...😂
Claims he didnt see the sign and told the hotel he did see it. Nothing worse than a lying cop
Oh, yeah...right...the wife wants to say that the hotel employee "doesn't speak good English", but evidently they spoke good enough English to make her understand everything else she needed to know! Bigots from Augusta, GA Police department!
There are so many of us in the South that are so anti this line of thinking. Will bet they are in church every Sunday but when you heart is full of hate then it is an insult to our God. Know this is not acceptable and never should had been. People in his area should let him and wife know that they are not part of community
Yet there are 'so many of you in The South' who voted for Trump. There are 'so many of you in The South' who supported a President who bragged about grabbing females by the genitalia 'any time he wants'. There are 'so many of you in The Church in The South' who continue to support Trump. Over 90% of White Evangelicals voted for Trump.
Until 'so many of you in The South who claim to be anti this line of thinking' start pro-actively holding people like that PIG Cop and his Fascist wife accountable for their actions (you know, like publicly shaming them...like refusing to be friends with them)....little is going to change, especially if Trump gets re-elected....because people like that PIG Cop and his wife will feel even more EMPOWERED to speak/behave like they did in this video.@@coolcat-tw1hl
Stating a fact that someone doesn’t speak English is not being a Bigot! People should know English better if they’re going to hold jobs here! Jobs use to require that you know english.

Karens. Blame others for their own mistake. Both went to well it aint my fault. Tf its your fault now others have to listen to you both bitch be racist and no doubt complained to managment in he hotel hope everyone kept their jobs + making people have a crap day because mr im a cop didnt listen or more likely didnt care. Hope this cop dose see this video then looks in the miror and realises HE IS THE REASON PEOPLE DONT LIKE COPS maybe itll be a learning experience for him
Truth
not something cops are good at.
They hire stupid people to be cops stupid people fallow lessona
The best way to deal with a cop is throw their lines right back at them: "I'm here because I got called out here." "If you were parking properly, I wouldn't be out here doing what I'm doing." "Tell it to the judge." "Your personal problems and how bad of a day that you're having are not my problem or concern."
I bet if you were in Augusta this cop would abuse his power and cause you real trouble. He seems very unqualified to be a cop and gives the good ones a bad name.
There are good ones?🤔🤔🤔🤔🥶

Jeff, it reminded me of what dolly parton’s dad taught her, when she was a little girl if u can’t say anything nice about someone keep u mouth shut 🤐, he was definitely out of line I admire how u handle him. My wife and I will be spending next week in Gatlinburg hopefully we a least see u go by in ur wrecker. Thanks for another great 👍🏻 video. From Kentucky
keeping your mouth shut is a thing of the past its 2022 there is nothing not nice to say about anybody, everybody sucks
It looks parked correctly in my eyes. Is it pay parking? Thst he didn’t pay for? Where is the sign to show it’s not parked or paid for? I haven’t seen it. Maybe I just can’t see it. Tiny sign. Wow!
At least it’s a decent tow truck where it won’t screw up your car.
Oh wow. The hotel screwed him around. That’s sad. I think he should go to the hotel to get them to cash his check to get money to get his truck at the very least. That’s sad.
He hasn’t said nothing off yet.
Stop the stupid music.
I just came across this video and I'm glad I did. As many others have already commented, you did an absolutely amazing job at handing this situation. You stayed very professional, level headed and calm. You seem like a genuinely good person. Racism is one thing that I refuse to stand for, and seeing this made me very disappointed in the officer. But you handled the situation very well, and I commend you even further for not getting involved in the things he was saying, that were disrespectful to people of other races. Take care sir and stay safe out there.
Respect for the person from the company. He just seems to be so thoughtful and considerate of diversity. Nice to see decency.
Like you said, "if you're not paying to park you're doing something wrong!"😂
Professional. Calm. Able to diffuse a situation. All of the things Mr. Officer is trained on but forgot when he hit the Tennessee state line. And then Jeff steps right up and shows him how to do it!
I appreciate you taking the time out and standing up for racists comments
I know this guy personally. I use to work with this guy. And he USE to to be an officer. After watching this I'm so glad he isn't anymore.
In one conversation with a tow truck driver they complained about immigrants and black people but I bet they swear up and down that they aren’t racist.
Way to go Jeff. That was soo smooth how you handled that situation. I bet your years doing what you do, has taught you some things about people and how to be cool when needed. Jeff ROCKS! Later from MI.👍
Reminds me of when I was a security guard. It was a shopping center right next to the beach. People would always try to use our lot for free parking. I felt bad for calling it in, but at the same time most people knew exactly what they were doing wrong, and would literally just leave most times I even attempted to advise them...
I live by the beach and I had a guy park in my driveway once. Right in front of me. Starts unloading his family and all their beach gear. I told him it's a private driveway and he said, too bad, he couldn't find anywhere else to park, and proceeded to walk down to the beach with his kids. I don't know what he expected was going to happen but boy did he seem surprised when they came back hours later to find the truck gone. Expensive day at the beach for him.
@@blakerichardson900 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious, people are real bold
@@blakerichardson900 that's hilarious. Good on you for towing their ass.
What an entitled POS! Did you see how he reacted after he found out that his truck was towed? If you have video of it, you should post it!@@blakerichardson900
@@blakerichardson900Glad you towed his vehicle. If his kids didn’t know all good curse words, I’ll bet they learned some when he came back!
Man you are awesome dealing with these people. I wonder if this man gives people he pulls over a break. I believe he puts a black eye to the police force that he is part of. Yall just good people and keep up the good work.
New to your channel and loving it. You guys are amazing. Incredible skill (my Dad drove a tractor and trailer then later a tow truck) that is too often under appreciated. Plus you must have the patience of Job to deal with some of those people. I am always proud of the way you represent East TN by being professional yet very kind and courteous. Thanks.
I can't applaud you enough for remaining so calm. I would have lost it on the both of them. While he has a point about how the hotel handled the situation, there was no excuse for how they acted.
I'm new to your channel and was watching this video from about a year ago. Thank you for picking up on, and calling out that cop's blatant racism 👏🏾.
Your video just happened to pop up on my watch list and I've watched several of them today, I watch another one that's located out of Atlanta Georgia. You ,your wife and the other gentleman from Ga are great examples of how tow truckers should do their business. Fair level-headed, respectful. It's the others on UA-cam that yell and scream just for clicks and views that give tow truckers a bad name.
My dad was a detention officer and dealt with Law officers, The courts and individuals in custody. He always believed that you are responsible for your actions and treat people with respect. There are things that happen unfairly but you control you. There are injustices but you still are responsible for your actions.
Police officers deserve the most respect that a person can received. Daily they deal with people on their worst day, people who are not responsible for their actions and people that just need help. Then on top of that they have to deal with politics and personalities of the people that affect them. They see things no living person can forget or deny it affects them.
I would be the last person to say anything bad about a police officer and not give them the respect they deserve. But I expect when possible the same respect or at least a portion back. Unless I give up that right by my actions.
Please don't tell me that because someone else is doing wrong I can too. My bad day means I don't have to follow the rules / laws. If I am not sure or don't know does not mean the law changes or I am excused. My family and situation does not excuses my actions. As a person everything can affects my actions but I am the one in control. I was taught to respect the office / title / duty even if you cant respect the person.
Bottom line. If you think that making excuses, talking behind some ones back (online as well) or being dishonest is WRONG. I also understand people being mad and ranting but then they have to fix and be accountable for that action.
Please be the people I respect and have taught my sons to respect and admire.
Sir, I enjoy watching your videos and as a former tow operator (back in my day we were just called tow truck drivers) and also now a retired deputy sheriff. It reminds me of why I enjoyed being a tow truck driver. I always hated it when I towed an off-duty peace officers' personal vehicle whether it was an impound or a disabled vehicle.
But as you know, when it comes to an impound you do not know who owns that vehicle and you have a business to run. I hate seeing these off-duty cops act the way they do, it's not the first video of yours where you've towed a cop's private vehicle and I'm sure it won't be the last.
As a tow driver we had the local PD, SD and state patrol's contract and I always hated it when the officers felt the need to operate the levers on my truck, but it was our biggest contract, so I just smiled and made do.
I'm very conscious of all parking signs when I'm parking and it doesn't matter what day of the week it is or time of day, that only comes from being a tow truck driver and a deputy responding to disputes over private property impounds.
P.S. The tow truck company always won in those disputes.
Something tells me he isn’t really a LEO, or he (use) to possibly be one. I also have a feeling you’ll be hearing more from him. He’s a hot head with a mouth on him, and I hope he doesn’t start up anything….but I have a feeling that he will. My Brother has been in law enforcement for 26 years now and would be appalled and disgusted by this man’s actions…..if he is in fact a LEO. I’m sure others have already forwarded this to the Augusta GA PD, just in case he was being truthful.
I posted a link of the video to the APD's FB page.
Your people instincts are good....
There are reports on March 18 that this guy is not currently employed as a Law Enforcement Officer. So it appears his comment that "I am a police officer" was a lie. He used to a be a police officer....10 YEARS AGO.
"A man who tried to get out of paying for a tow by claiming to be an Augusta law enforcement officer and then making racist remarks is not currently employed by the department, according to the Richmond County Sheriff's Office."
"A Richmond County Sheriff's Office spokesman confirmed the man in the video was employed by the department more than 10 years ago but said he is not currently working for the department."
" I was disturbed by the comments - it’s not something we would tolerate from any active duty people that work here." Internal Affairs Sgt. William McCarty said. "We have no jurisdiction in Gatlinburg, but he’s falsely impersonating a police officer and if that’s something they wanted to pursue they could."
You are correct 💯 he's not
Felony crime to state you are a officer , if he would have said former that's different, needs a good attorney....
Ask your brother how many fellow Thin Blue Liners he has given a traffic citation to or arrested for domestic abuse/DUI/etc.
I am shocked a "professional" police officer spoke to you in that manner. I hope his superior officers see your video and pull him back a notch or twenty. He shouldn't be throwing his weight around asking for discounts and disrespecting you doing your job. I am sure he wouldn't give you a break for anything. He is a disgrace to his profession. And his foul mouth, does he talk to citizens that way? His wife is a piece of work as well. Jeff and Kristen, you are so respectful and professional every time. 👏 thank you for doing these youtubes. We love everyone one of them.
LOL there's tons of em all over the country. Watch some 1st amendment audit kind of vids. Amagansett Press, Bay Area Transparency, Long Island Audit etc. You can't believe the way our govt employees treat us
You are so kind. I just wanted to show him the sign!!!!! Police should want to maintain a higher standard, but too many are there for their EGO. Love you Jeff and Kristen
I am a new subscriber. Former police officer of 10 years in a major city in Oklahoma. There's only 2 lol.
But you exhibited the utmost professionalism in doing your job. Which from experience I know is a very hard job to do at times. And you deal with many irate people. You handled this extremely well Thank you! You have a new follower
Thank you Walter we appreciate the support and for your service my friend!!
I have been coming to Gatlinburg for 27 years and I always pay to park because I have common sense . Those people felt privileged
I've considered visiting with a medium sized 10' trailer...any recommendations where to park?
@@mrmotofy ....Stay in Pigeon Forge and just drive over to Gatlinburg.
Speaking of learning something. I learned that you guys are even better human beings than the better people that you are. Keep up the great work that you guys do in the greatest place in the nation.
I’m so glad I watched it to the end. Thank you for addressing the issue of racism. It speaks to your character in your integrity. Well done, sir.
I was a measly server and I didn't put up with racism. I never argued. I would just keep saying excuse me, I didn't hear. Will you repeat it louder? It usually worked because people used to be embarrassed about public racism.
If he's a cop he shouldn't be. Makes me wonder if he's the exception in the Augusta Georgia PD or if he's pretty much the rule. Shameful, just shameful...
someone should forward this to chief of police ...
You notice the super dark tinted windows, including the windshield? So sick of thinking they're above the law!
@@towrecker A little birdie told me that the Augusta Chronicle is now in possession of it.
Being from Georgia, I’m embarrassed that he is from my state. He is the reason why good police officers have a bad name. He is a JERK! How wrong! He just don’t know that you caught him lying! Plus, you won’t see him or HEAR him on camera because he probably didn’t go ask!
@@vamartha Hahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If that cop is so well paid that he can afford such a big expensive truck then surely he can easily afford a towing fee.
Or atm fees
He's probably broke like most Americans with expensive vehicles
No handcuffs were used when filming this tow great job. 👍
As a Black man, I got much respect for you. I will support ur channel for here on out
and cops wonder why there is no respect for law enforcement before i get bashed my dad was was cop for 11 years and he quit for what we just watched coming from his own dept. we were brought up to respect everyone regardless of race or religion or sex got better have mercy on us if he ever found out we were treated someone bad because he wouldn't. you handled it great jeff i would of told him here is your truck get off my lot
the cop's supervisor needs to see this video-and on his hometown news needs to show it-you just know that he is the kind of cop that thinks he will do whatever to whoever he wants to
I agree!
And as the story goes, he IS NOT a police officer, and internal affairs actually calls Jeff and clarifies that 1) he is no longer a police officer and 2) he should NEVER have been a police officer. That phone call was so fulfilling to listen to. And he and his wife are raging racists and I am thrilled that they have been outed publicly
If you make a mistake just admit it and don't blame the world for your screw up. Sounded like two teenagers making excuses. If you made two trips you had some money in that tow with fuel cost. You set a good example on how to run a business and still be nice to people when they are not.
Now that it has determined that the guy is not a police officer your youtube channel is going to be punish enough for this lovely couple. I bet he now wishes he had just said sorry I made a mistake and here is my cash for the tow.
Wow! Thank you for the video. I'm just watching you pull the truck up, and I'm impressed. I'll watch the rest of the video now.
I just love how you both work as a team & as a couple. You always treat people with respect & dignity regardless of how they behave towards you.
You handled that perfect I’m a operator myself and this is stuff we deal with on a regular. Great video 🤝
I do not know how you stay so cool. love the channel, been going back and watching all of your videos.
Well folks. Here's the deal: I was a deputy. The first thing they teach you is "bite your tongue". Or at least they used to. Keep your thoughts and beliefs to yourself. Just do your job and go home safely. A tow fee is not worth loosing your job (and all it's benefits) or even a suspension. And never-ever ask for favorable treatment. If it is offered, that is different. Learn by your mistakes and life goes on. You have patients of a saint. What you did is what he should have done: de-escalate the situation.
Well said 👍👍
I've never met a cop that hasn't asked for special treatment what are you talking about lol I've got 3 cops in my family and friends that are cops, don't tell me them askin for special treatment isn't ALWAYS a thing cuz it is 🙄 You must have had blinders on your whole career if you think this isn't common 🤦♂️
When you were a deputy, how many fellow law enforcement officers have you given traffic citations to and/or arrested for DUI?
@@dh1752 Apparently you've had bad experiences. That's too bad.
@@dh1752 some do that but still not all. It's usually the wife that pulls the cop card, I know by my mom is one of them. And yes I hate the crazy bitch and her old ass retired husband's 🤣
I've dealt with criminals that have better manners than some of these cops. Tell a poorly behaved idiot he's special long enough and they'll start to believe it.
I have to come out and acknowledge you for being such a great person and human being. It takes a lot of courage to stand against, speak up or call out racism whereas in today's climate, it still exists and there are others who turn a blind eye and act as if it doesn't.
What makes this worse is the person showing his racism is a person who is S.W.O.R.N and elected by the people to serve the people to protect and serve as a police officer, yet he stands behind a "thin blue line" flag that is a "dog whistle" for a "us against them" or superiority mentality that the people are beneath them and don't even get me started on the real reason the "thin blue line" movement started like BLM and all of the killings of unarmed African American males (or anyonefor that matter). His words shows his true colors and the biases in policing that has existed for a long time and why there is such a call for police reform.
I just wanted to thank you for calling that out and for being what we all should be and that's being a good decent human being. Love you bro.
