Most of them are bad. Only a few good cops now. So the chances of you running into a bad 1 is very high. Even if there was a good 1 amongst the group, he won't man up and call out the corruption he see and just turn a blind eye and help them cause if he doesn't, then he would be on his own and will be known as a traitor and they will force him out or he will get out himself. When you have no trust from the public and also from your fellow officers, your fucked.
The moment he wanted you to turn your phone off and put it on airplane mode I feel like that itself was over the top and he was about to violate all kinds of laws SMH.. I hope you’re planning on hiring a lawyer because even though you got away clean, you could’ve lost your CDL and definitely your freedom for something you were extremely innocent of! people like him need to be off the road

Great job Dot. Had similar incident happen to me in West Virginia. Pulled over for dot inspection. Log book was up to date last entry 45 minutes ago, all safety equipment was top notch, driver was well rested and alert. Ticketed for rust the size of a tic tack on my trailer tag. Thank the officer, promptly went to terminal and retired after 34 years of accident free driving over 3 million miles. You can go get your own groceries from now on. I'm done! The general public has no idea what some dot officers are doing to good drivers just for money. Good luck drivers and God bless you for the thankless job you do.
@@tametz south bound 77 at the toll booth. You ever been on the west Virginia turn pike. Well the state trooper was waiting right at the cash box, working trucks going south. Got DOT inspection 2 weeks later on top of Sam's gap, passed that one , rough go tho stage 3 broke the seal went in back checked location of hazmat had 3 different placards that day, but Tennessee DOT was more friendly than West Virginia DOT.
DOT cannot get inside the cab of your truck unless they ask your permission first. I got pulled in at the scales in Ardmore,TN. about 8-9 years ago & the officer asked me if he could inspect inside my truck so I said I didn't have anything to hide so go ahead. After he finished I asked him "When you asked if you could look around in my truck what if I had said no?" He said "I would've tucked my tail between my legs & go back into the scale house." From they day on I decided if an officer ever asked to look inside my truck I will tell them no. Only way they can get in your truck is if you give them permission or they have a search warrant.
The officer is just unprofessional for coping an attitude with everything with you, and assuming things about your past. People who want to attack you just for being you don't deserve your time.
They need to be sued, the department and personally. The "law" enforcers need to be put into check before vigilantes start taking things into their own hands.

This state needs to do a formal investigation into this officer and on his past performance has probably did this a lot and needs to be held accountable for not doing his job correctly!
I've been trucking with my CDL-A for over twenty-one years and in that time I've never seen such a blatant desecration of a trucker's home and a freemans basic rights.

When I first started driving my mentor made it very clear that “DOT IS NOT YOUR FRIEND”. Part of my trip planning is to avoid open weigh/inspection stations. Don’t give them opportunity.
As someone with a background in audio/video production, it’s completely legal to photograph or video record anything on public property where there should be no expectation of privacy, the truck driver should have continued video recording and ask the officers for their name and badge numbers
The trucker was correct to play it cool and live to fight another day! All the cards are on his side, when someone is deliberately trying to pluck you over that is exactly how to play them!
Yep that’s one thing u don’t have to do period but just get a dash cam and flip it r one facing rear one but either way whatever he was doing that’s for sure should not been asked I know officers take a lot but can’t take it out on others period best thing if your pissed go take break before u pull someone else over for anything
That officer was way out of line When the DA stopped there I would’ve filed a formal complaint “You have multiple violations but didn’t cite one with exception of insufficient load strap. It’s a shame that Law Enforcement Officers like this give the real professional Officers a bad rap. I have been through many inspections (1-3 tier) and haven’t encountered an officer such as this one. I would’ve filed a formal complaint with this footage. and what was that about the driver’s past record. He made a mistake, paid his dues as obviously he has his CDL and his profession. With that reasoning… I used to color outside the lines in Kindergarten and also have a shoebox full of mattress tags hidden in my house. I guess that I’m not fit for duty Oh, and I once went through the “7” item express lane with “8” items at the Supermarket… Here’s my CDL officer
Everything you’ve written is true, but when I got to your shoebox with hidden mattress tags, I burst out laughing, I couldn’t help myself. You know, one of those deep belly laughs. People are looking at me strange, as if they’ve never burst out laughing at something they ever saw that had been funny. As if. Love your humor, man. Be well and stay smiling
This is common treatment. I had one DOT Officer put a piece of paper in my abs sensor on my trailer so that I would show a fail. Luckily it was a windy day and the paper blew out during the test (I saw it go, that's how I knew. Plus the look on his face, was priceless, knowing he'd been caught) I was let go immediately. Kentucky
So he wanted to search him based off of his “criminal history”. Drivers seriously need to invest in cameras for inside the cab/bunk for stops just like this.
Up in Kentucky on 64 east bound last scale house pulled me in on a Sunday morning around eleven o’clock. Started a level two inspection. Told me to stay in truck. I was watching him as he went under my trailer. My truck started to rock back ion forth. I had put new air lines under my trailer on Friday & grommets. He took his pocket knife cutting the grommet out and pulling on the air line. Taking him about three minutes before he broke the line. I had my GoPro on my tractor trailer to keep a eye on tandem tires. I watched the whole episode and got out of my truck and he told me to get back in my truck. I was told by another trucker that Kentucky was bad about cutting air lines and backing off brakes. They are contract scale people. I called US MARSHALL’s office and a Marshall was their in twenty minutes. Showing him my GoPro footage. He let me drop my trailer and go get a splicer and shut down the scale house. I sent him the footage to his phone. . When I got home I had new line put back on and Kentucky paid for it plus the down time on my truck. Definitely came out ahead. SEMPER FIDELIS
Why did US Marshals get involved? I used to have interactions with Marshals and they basically hunt fugitives. They do a couple of other things like operate the federal witness protection program and protect the federal judiciary but they don't do state dot weigh stations. You can easily check Google and see their exact job description. Maybe you talked to someone with the FMCSA or CVSA but they would not have responded out there in 20 minutes.
Oh, and a level 2 does not require going under the trailer. Look at the regulations, level 2 is a walk around without physically getting under the truck and trailer and also paperwork.
the only time a law enforcement officer can conduct a search without a warrant or probable cause is at the border. any other situation, he can ask and you are within your rights to refuse.
DOT was wrong. I would have said, I plead the 5th on any ?? he asked. I also would have said I respectfully decline searching the interior of my truck. If they did anyway; he had them on video. Hire lawyer and sue that department, for violating 4th amendment.
@@breeze624 Some lawsuits have failed because people didn't physically say they're invoking in their 5th amendment right. Best to just say you don't answer any question.
its how i keep dot in check these days. log books, i plead the 5th, vehicle inspection records, i plead the 5th, find something wrong and get a warant. they just let me go.
I have had plenty of level one inspections and never once did they ever enter my personal space. Sorry pal, you need probably cause or a search warrant.
HE would've found a gun in my personal space and if not in the libtard socialist state like CA, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Illinois I would've went on my way. I use to carry a firearm with me wherever I went when I drove. Got a ticket in So Dakota which was rescinded 2 days after getting it for Supposedly having a prohibited weapon in a semi truck. Called the state DOT head and he overwhelmingly said I was allowed to carry it in the truck being I had a valid ccw in this state as it's my home state. Never had any other trouble in all the years other than that described above.
Yeah I was thinking that shit too don't you have to have a search warrant to enter behind the curtain of a sleeper cab?? I thought it was legit for them to look in the driver's section if they asked you for permission but they need straight up search warrant to go behind the curtain into sleeper cab
I had a dot officer search my truck once then when he went to Inspect my piss bottle thinking it was alcohol i just laughed at the expression on his face when he got a big whiff
This is one of the reasons I've bought and wear a bodycam that doubles as a dashcam. It runs all day and records all interactions I have with anyone I encounter.
Too many years of too many people who worship leos thinking those people look after the safety of the people. Fatheads filled with malignant hatred of the people.
@@truthunfiltered314 well we should keep any eye on sideways - especially seeing what we’ve seen these last 2 years all over the globe and now in Canada
That was harassment period!! I feel so bad that you were treated like that out there doing your job. This over stepping of boundaries by law enforcement is a crime and they just keep doing it and getting away with it! Disgusting!!!
Driving through Ohio the first time when I was pulled over for my first DOT inspection. Made the officer chase me for several miles - his light bar was all RED no blue at all. When I finally stopped he asked why I made him chase me, I told him I didn't know I could get pulled over by the fire department. That was the same one that cited me for unsecure load when my tire chocks were in a closed sealed locked metal box.
Sounds like this DOT officer had a hardon for the driver when he saw that he had a DUI on his record. He seemed fixated on that.. The driver was 100% cooperative despite the nasty attitude of the cops.
The problem with the many officers is they automatically assume your a bad person they automatically have an agenda to take anyone in right before a interaction happen, and once they see your good they still treat you the same, the driver asked the officer if he found anything, officer said not in plain sight so he still believes in his mind this trucker is a drug runner, bet he didn't give the driver an apology
The driver should have cooperated with them 100% especially with a recent DWI and the officer knew it he had every right to search the d********'s truck.. I don't want to share the road with any wacked out drunk do You...
I kinda feel the same way. Especially with what’s going on in Canada, which I hear will eventually makes its way here. I don’t thinks law enforcement is liking the open defiance from truckers too much. So, they’re gonna start bending the rules, to bring about “compliance”.
Your truck is your home. That’s protected by the fourth. The officer stopped him for his past. He should file a complaint and get a lawyer for civil rights violations. Also never ever drive with your main curtain open. If you get pulled over don’t let them claim in plain sight because your curtain was open.
When I ran a sleeper I always kept the curtain closed . That way when you are out of the truck no one knows if you are running team or not. Less chance of someone trying to break in while you are away.
This is the life of a car hauler! They always want to search everything! I’ve had trips where I got searched in every state coast to coast! One state trooper stopped me so many times he remembered my CDL #! One thing that I learned was to grab a business card from first one to search my truck and I would tell next ones hey just call the guy he searched me already and it’s a same load.
There was an incident about 20 yrs. ago at the Manchester TN. Scales where a DOT officer got his ass beat by a driver. The driver and his wife ran team, and the tire biter insisted he was going into the sleeper to inspect, refusing to allow the driver to wake his wife and make sure she was dressed. When he tried to get in the truck, the driver pulled him off the step and the fight was on. As I recall, the assault charges on the driver were dismissed, and the tire biter was fired. I don’t remember wether or not the driver and his wife sued, but they definitely should have.
The abuse of power, misconduct and laws broken by that officer both federal laws and constitution laws as well as local laws, enough to not only get the police officer fired, but a solid lawsuit for early retirement.
never stop recording and if arrested the cops will be in the wrong and there are a lot of lawsuits for officers violating our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, stay strong and safe y'all
They can't do that without a search warrant. Record and ask for the supervisor. If anything happens after that. Document it all and take them to court. You will win.
There is a motor vehicle exception to search warrant requirements, but they still have to have the same level of articulable probable cause to search without a warrant as they would to get a warrant. A missing or improper strap on the load is not probable cause to search the sleeper.
This is why drivers should be informed of what DOT can and can’t do. I would have told him to kiss my ass about search and it would have been on from there.I damn sure wouldn’t have turned off my phone because he knew it was wrong and would have been your word against his if you complain.
Bro, don’t give me that, “a lot of law enforcement are good“ crap. They are horrible and getting worse. I’m a car hauler and was parked at Mannheim West Palm taking my 10 when 4 1/2 hrs into my break, I was awakened by the loudest banging on my sleeper that I have ever heard. It was so hard, it activated the crash alert on my dash cam. It was a Florida State Trooper. He told me to move my truck or be towed. I told him and tried to show him that I was on my 10. He told me that he didn’t care… move it or be towed. When I asked him was that legal and requested his card, he treated to arrest me. I’ve been sleeping and hauling cars to and from that auction for over 15 years. It’s not right for Law Enforcement to make drivers drive when they are out of hours, I don’t care what anyone says.
Per FMCSA guidelines, if a law enforcement officer requests/requires you to move your vehicle...even if you're off the clock (your 10, or 34 hour reset) you can do so without breaking the FMCSA guidelines.
If ANY local cop pulls you over and starts harassing you, call the state troopers. And always keep your video and recorders on. Don't ask permission to record. You don't need it.
Yeah and if the cop grabs your phone, smashes it on the ground and destroys it, how will u ever prove anything or prove he did it. He can beat u til you’re almost dead and still get away with it. He can say he was on the other side of State and his superiors will lie to cover for him . Face it, cops can do anything they want and get away with anything . And in court the judge always takes the cops word over yours. ALWAYS . They can kill u and dump your body and they will still get away with it, especially in the south . My heart goes out to non white drivers. What these racist cops do is just evil . Seriously EVIL.
That DOT officer needs to be put on administration leave , because I’m pretty sure he has done several drivers like this , and it’s sad that this so called officers gives the good ones a bad reputation.
@Dan Miller i have met a few especially out here in Texas . They all say it’s a job , but they can get nasty with you , it’s all about how a driver presents themselves to that officer.
I have always said that if you offer the average liberal a wee bit of power over another human being, they will be the first to goose-step all over the Constitution. Police, doctors, Wal-Mart door greeters, it matters not. I even had a nurse tell me, "I'm just following orders," straight out of the Nuremburg playbook.
exactly there is plenty of karens out there that are just looking for a reason to make others miserable. also im sure hitler was such a pussy, i bet he never fired a gun, or killed anyone in his life himself, that guy was a nerd
Been doing this for 7 years and I would've gotten my company to sue that officer for what he did. Next time keep cameras in your truck because that man would've lost his job after my company came after him
I have been driving semi's for 35 years and have delt with jerks like that during an inspection, it's guy like that once they get thier badge they think they are above everyone else and think they can treat truck drivers like we are idiots.
That stop was outrageous. The bunk looked like it had been ransacked. Pulling a truck in because of a violation is one thing, but pulling a truck in and being hellbent to find something is harassment. The questioning was out of line. It's no one's business what his history was. The officer was on a mission to find something that wasn't there and the whole time he's burning his 14 hours up.
He can't tell you to turn your phone off....that's your right! They can record you right? Don't they get paid by we the people? This was harassment....
You really need to get a lawyer for this guy and just for the record as your constitutional right to record yourself while dealing with any police officer and no they can not order you to shut your phone off when they are performing a public service that goes whether they are investigating you or whether you are recording someone else being investigated by the police as long as you would be 25 feet away not interfere with the investigation
WTF we as truckers should not be treated like this *EVER* DOT treat us like we're criminals.*EVERYTHING* the officer use in everyday life is brought by us, smh we are definitely not appreciated enough for the job that we do being away from family so everyone is is taken care of.
You need a camera everywhere now a days. Put your own camera in cab and make them undetectable and record from now on. Turn on when they stop you and turn them off when they are done. Vehicle is still considered private property.
For them to go into your sleeper they have to have a search warrant signed by a judge and it must state what they are looking for , or your consent this was told to us and to a young rookie DOT officer by her supervisor, they twist and turn the law to mean anything they want it to
@@ChildofGodforevr oh yes you can. If it is on my permission, it is on my permission to end it. That is 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th amendments. If "I" gave that permission and to that point nothing is found illegal I can end that permission. Just as I can lawyer-up at any second. That is on me not an LEO.
I’m 100% willing to bet that if truckers all stopped running for two weeks, it would bring this country to its knees. You could say that it’s too dangerous to be confronted by the cops, and get some nationwide changes made.
That’s exactly where I was at with it too. Unless they already searched it without his permission so he’s just angrily telling them to search it out of sarcasm? Idk. But yea, it looks like he offered his truck up to be searched. Fair game at that point. That’s why in these situations you just…DON’T…TALK. Although he shouldn’t have been threatened with arrest FOR talking.
Definitely sounds like the officer was on a power trip. If there were a violations like he said there were he would’ve wrote him up. But it sounds like the officer had no grounds to write a ticket and just fed the truck driver a line of BS
I also would told these police to go ahead & arrest me ..I have no problems with filling for a early retirement plan on your behalf.. I'm sure your tax payers would be pleased with you..lol
What a perfect example of yet another officer that has forgotten that he works for the people. His power trip ego is disgusting,he needs to go back to gaurding the mall or senior center he came from until he grows up.

The trucker was correct to play it cool and live to fight another day! All the cards are on his side, when someone is deliberately trying to pluck you over that is exactly how to play them!
Record all the time.
Your 1st Ammendment rights don't end at the on ramp.
Yep that’s one thing u don’t have to do period but just get a dash cam and flip it r one facing rear one but either way whatever he was doing that’s for sure should not been asked I know officers take a lot but can’t take it out on others period best thing if your pissed go take break before u pull someone else over for anything
That officer was way out of line
When the DA stopped there I would’ve filed a formal complaint
“You have multiple violations but didn’t cite one with exception of insufficient load strap.
It’s a shame that Law Enforcement Officers like this give the real professional Officers a bad rap.
I have been through many inspections (1-3 tier) and haven’t encountered an officer such as this one.
I would’ve filed a formal complaint with this footage.
and what was that about the driver’s past record.
He made a mistake, paid his dues as obviously he has his CDL and his profession.
With that reasoning…
I used to color outside the lines in Kindergarten and also have a shoebox full of mattress tags hidden in my house.
I guess that I’m not fit for duty
Oh, and I once went through the “7” item express lane with “8” items at the Supermarket… Here’s my CDL officer
i have met hundreds of dot officers across the country like this. very few honest law abiding officers out there
Everything you’ve written is true, but when I got to your shoebox with hidden mattress tags, I burst out laughing, I couldn’t help myself. You know, one of those deep belly laughs. People are looking at me strange, as if they’ve never burst out laughing at something they ever saw that had been funny. As if.
Love your humor, man.
Be well and stay smiling
It’s DEA; not DA.
Anyway, sadly though, this comment won’t be visible to others as UA-cam has shadow-banned my account. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
The majority are now the DIRTY!
This is what gives good cops a bad name!!! Respect must be given to be recieved
This is common treatment. I had one DOT Officer put a piece of paper in my abs sensor on my trailer so that I would show a fail. Luckily it was a windy day and the paper blew out during the test (I saw it go, that's how I knew. Plus the look on his face, was priceless, knowing he'd been caught) I was let go immediately. Kentucky
Kentucky is almost the worst next to Arizona scale officers🧐
So he wanted to search him based off of his “criminal history”. Drivers seriously need to invest in cameras for inside the cab/bunk for stops just like this.
never allow pigs in your cab you will have a hard time getting rid off that stanch
Up in Kentucky on 64 east bound last scale house pulled me in on a Sunday morning around eleven o’clock. Started a level two inspection. Told me to stay in truck. I was watching him as he went under my trailer. My truck started to rock back ion forth. I had put new air lines under my trailer on Friday & grommets. He took his pocket knife cutting the grommet out and pulling on the air line. Taking him about three minutes before he broke the line. I had my GoPro on my tractor trailer to keep a eye on tandem tires. I watched the whole episode and got out of my truck and he told me to get back in my truck. I was told by another trucker that Kentucky was bad about cutting air lines and backing off brakes. They are contract scale people. I called US MARSHALL’s office and a Marshall was their in twenty minutes. Showing him my GoPro footage. He let me drop my trailer and go get a splicer and shut down the scale house. I sent him the footage to his phone. . When I got home I had new line put back on and Kentucky paid for it plus the down time on my truck. Definitely came out ahead. SEMPER FIDELIS
I would like to see that footage . 👍
A level 2 they don't go under truck its a walk around and paperwork check
Why did US Marshals get involved? I used to have interactions with Marshals and they basically hunt fugitives. They do a couple of other things like operate the federal witness protection program and protect the federal judiciary but they don't do state dot weigh stations. You can easily check Google and see their exact job description. Maybe you talked to someone with the FMCSA or CVSA but they would not have responded out there in 20 minutes.
Oh, and a level 2 does not require going under the trailer. Look at the regulations, level 2 is a walk around without physically getting under the truck and trailer and also paperwork.
Wow!!!!!!
He was on a power trip that's why we don't give people authority over us, you did nothing wrong God bless you, stay positive.
The officer was wrong.
To Protect and Serve is the biggest lie Police have ever told.
the only time a law enforcement officer can conduct a search without a warrant or probable cause is at the border. any other situation, he can ask and you are within your rights to refuse.
DOT was wrong. I would have said, I plead the 5th on any ?? he asked. I also would have said I respectfully decline searching the interior of my truck.
If they did anyway; he had them on video. Hire lawyer and sue that department, for violating 4th amendment.
Don't plead the 5th just don't say anything.
@@breeze624 Some lawsuits have failed because people didn't physically say they're invoking in their 5th amendment right. Best to just say you don't answer any question.
Amen!
@@breeze624 you have to at least verbally invoke the 5th amendment, the Supreme Court has ruled that just remaining silent isn’t enough
its how i keep dot in check these days. log books, i plead the 5th, vehicle inspection records, i plead the 5th, find something wrong and get a warant. they just let me go.
I have had plenty of level one inspections and never once did they ever enter my personal space. Sorry pal, you need probably cause or a search warrant.
HE would've found a gun in my personal space and if not in the libtard socialist state like CA, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Illinois I would've went on my way. I use to carry a firearm with me wherever I went when I drove.
Got a ticket in So Dakota which was rescinded 2 days after getting it for Supposedly having a prohibited weapon in a semi truck. Called the state DOT head and he overwhelmingly said I was allowed to carry it in the truck being I had a valid ccw in this state as it's my home state. Never had any other trouble in all the years other than that described above.
Yeah I was thinking that shit too don't you have to have a search warrant to enter behind the curtain of a sleeper cab?? I thought it was legit for them to look in the driver's section if they asked you for permission but they need straight up search warrant to go behind the curtain into sleeper cab
I had a dot officer search my truck once then when he went to Inspect my piss bottle thinking it was alcohol i just laughed at the expression on his face when he got a big whiff
The forbidden apple juice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
I had the same experience gallon of piss and the officer thought it was thc oil smh
Kinda like in the movie Dumb and Dumber, when that cop took a swig of that dudes piss bottle.🤣🤣🤣
Good thing i didn't have a shit bag in the truck he might have thought it was black tar heroin and went to inspect it
Now that's funny.
This is one of the reasons I've bought and wear a bodycam that doubles as a dashcam. It runs all day and records all interactions I have with anyone I encounter.
Typical law enforcement over stepping their boundaries. Thinking they are the law.
there's something happening here!. ua-cam.com/video/WEWCwT3K2xk/v-deo.html
I AM SCIENCE 😷😷😷😷
It's not typical. Most interactions are by the book, but we only hear about the ones that go sideways.
Too many years of too many people who worship leos thinking those people look after the safety of the people. Fatheads filled with malignant hatred of the people.
@@truthunfiltered314 well we should keep any eye on sideways - especially seeing what we’ve seen these last 2 years all over the globe and now in Canada
That was harassment period!! I feel so bad that you were treated like that out there doing your job. This over stepping of boundaries by law enforcement is a crime and they just keep doing it and getting away with it! Disgusting!!!
hey drivers you can buy all kinds of hidden cameras and Eyewear cameras for your truck and you, don't let them harass you out there 😉
Agreed! and the good quality cams are getting more affordable on amazon.
That DOT needs a different job. He is judging that man for a past DUI. They must of worked for Stalin in a past life .
Wonder if Trucking companies be putting those cameras in the sleeper of they company trucks.
@@MrMozez777 if they want a lawsuit on them for invading your privacy without knowledge or consent then I don't see that happening
@@mossad7338
Do back ground ck on them.
Never allow them them to search. We need lawyers by our side too.
Driving through Ohio the first time when I was pulled over for my first DOT inspection. Made the officer chase me for several miles - his light bar was all RED no blue at all. When I finally stopped he asked why I made him chase me, I told him I didn't know I could get pulled over by the fire department. That was the same one that cited me for unsecure load when my tire chocks were in a closed sealed locked metal box.
Wow he’s a very professional officer by stepping out of the cab the wrong way
Sounds like this DOT officer had a hardon for the driver when he saw that he had a DUI on his record. He seemed fixated on that.. The driver was 100% cooperative despite the nasty attitude of the cops.
Yeah ..I HATE the race card crap but ....
The problem with the many officers is they automatically assume your a bad person they automatically have an agenda to take anyone in right before a interaction happen, and once they see your good they still treat you the same, the driver asked the officer if he found anything, officer said not in plain sight so he still believes in his mind this trucker is a drug runner, bet he didn't give the driver an apology
The driver should have cooperated with them 100% especially with a recent DWI and the officer knew it he had every right to search the d********'s truck.. I don't want to share the road with any wacked out drunk do You...
Go back to licking boots you traitor to humanity, you are a disgrace.
@@lancerains4185 did you even watch the video ? ?
Get ready truckers you are enemy #1!!
I hate the government!!
This is overreach, but it’s just a bully tactic!!
I kinda feel the same way. Especially with what’s going on in Canada, which I hear will eventually makes its way here. I don’t thinks law enforcement is liking the open defiance from truckers too much. So, they’re gonna start bending the rules, to bring about “compliance”.
The government hates you as well.
On my way to turn in the truck .after 3 years I'm quiting this truck driving career. GOD bless all the truckers it's a hell of the job .
The DOT officer was completely wrong because he didn’t know what his job is
Your truck is your home. That’s protected by the fourth. The officer stopped him for his past. He should file a complaint and get a lawyer for civil rights violations. Also never ever drive with your main curtain open. If you get pulled over don’t let them claim in plain sight because your curtain was open.
I have never heard about the main curtain opened or whatever . Can you explain a little more about that ?
@@RaccoonFederation007 The law allows officers to conduct a search & seizure if anything illegal is plainly visible from outside a vehicle.
When I ran a sleeper I always kept the curtain closed . That way when you are out of the truck no one knows if you are running team or not. Less chance of someone trying to break in while you are away.
That was harassment to a whole new degree. That did not seem like a routine stop, that seemed personal if you ask me.
I’ve had 3 level ones and never had an officer climb in my cab period. He stood on my step to check the low warning light. That’s it
This is the life of a car hauler! They always want to search everything! I’ve had trips where I got searched in every state coast to coast! One state trooper stopped me so many times he remembered my CDL #! One thing that I learned was to grab a business card from first one to search my truck and I would tell next ones hey just call the guy he searched me already and it’s a same load.
Evil is always lurking… and we got a glimpse of how evil works in people….
There was an incident about 20 yrs. ago at the Manchester TN. Scales where a DOT officer got his ass beat by a driver. The driver and his wife ran team, and the tire biter insisted he was going into the sleeper to inspect, refusing to allow the driver to wake his wife and make sure she was dressed. When he tried to get in the truck, the driver pulled him off the step and the fight was on.
As I recall, the assault charges on the driver were dismissed, and the tire biter was fired. I don’t remember wether or not the driver and his wife sued, but they definitely should have.
I'd have to do the same...
They are a bunch of pricks at Manchester.
Thats afu. 😤the driver did right. F that cop. Hope they sued the hell out of those p.o. s. . Bad bullies. Road pirates😤
He would have been hospitalized and probably ventilated by my buck. Respect is earned. Not given.
I always dreaded those Manchester scales!
The abuse of power, misconduct and laws broken by that officer both federal laws and constitution laws as well as local laws, enough to not only get the police officer fired, but a solid lawsuit for early retirement.
never stop recording and if arrested the cops will be in the wrong and there are a lot of lawsuits for officers violating our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, stay strong and safe y'all
They broke the law. That driver need to be educated on his rights.
You should have stood your ground and sued these pigs you would have won in court you have right man protect them.
They can't do that without a search warrant. Record and ask for the supervisor. If anything happens after that. Document it all and take them to court. You will win.
Shitty part of it was the officer coming out of his truck was a Sargent! It looked like he had a Staff Sargent lapel pin on his neck.
DOT officer was a piece of shit pulling unlawful acts .
There is a motor vehicle exception to search warrant requirements, but they still have to have the same level of articulable probable cause to search without a warrant as they would to get a warrant. A missing or improper strap on the load is not probable cause to search the sleeper.
Wrong..you signed away your rights when you obtained a class a..they can go anywhere they want..they didn’t tell you this in truck school?
@@truthunfiltered314 exxxxactly
Violation of private belongings and place of rest. He's only allowed to look in the side box and glance in the cab. He can sue for that reason.
This is why drivers should be informed of what DOT can and can’t do. I would have told him to kiss my ass about search and it would have been on from there.I damn sure wouldn’t have turned off my phone because he knew it was wrong and would have been your word against his if you complain.
Amen, 100 percent
That is total BS. He had NO RIGHT to search that truck and I would take the DOT Officer to court for ILLEGAL search without probable cause..
Incompetent inspectors should be reported and removed, apparently he likes making his own laws up.
Bro, don’t give me that, “a lot of law enforcement are good“ crap. They are horrible and getting worse. I’m a car hauler and was parked at Mannheim West Palm taking my 10 when 4 1/2 hrs into my break, I was awakened by the loudest banging on my sleeper that I have ever heard. It was so hard, it activated the crash alert on my dash cam. It was a Florida State Trooper. He told me to move my truck or be towed. I told him and tried to show him that I was on my 10. He told me that he didn’t care… move it or be towed. When I asked him was that legal and requested his card, he treated to arrest me. I’ve been sleeping and hauling cars to and from that auction for over 15 years. It’s not right for Law Enforcement to make drivers drive when they are out of hours, I don’t care what anyone says.
Per FMCSA guidelines, if a law enforcement officer requests/requires you to move your vehicle...even if you're off the clock (your 10, or 34 hour reset) you can do so without breaking the FMCSA guidelines.
I'm praying for all drivers it's getting bad out here use your cameras please.
If ANY local cop pulls you over and starts harassing you, call the state troopers. And always keep your video and recorders on. Don't ask permission to record. You don't need it.
Yeah and if the cop grabs your phone, smashes it on the ground and destroys it, how will u ever prove anything or prove he did it. He can beat u til you’re almost dead and still get away with it. He can say he was on the other side of State and his superiors will lie to cover for him . Face it, cops can do anything they want and get away with anything . And in court the judge always takes the cops word over yours. ALWAYS .
They can kill u and dump your body and they will still get away with it, especially in the south . My heart goes out to non white drivers. What these racist cops do is just evil . Seriously EVIL.
Another case of a bully with a badge. These need to be eliminated by whatever means is necessary. As long as they are gone.
I have told them, when they want to look inside my truck, "go get your warrant, i'll wait", it shuts them down EVERY time
No warrant no search That's the trucker's home They have no right searching anything.
That DOT officer needs to be put on administration leave , because I’m pretty sure he has done several drivers like this , and it’s sad that this so called officers gives the good ones a bad reputation.
Yeah, a paid vacation would really straighten him out.
@Dan Miller i have met a few especially out here in Texas . They all say it’s a job , but they can get nasty with you , it’s all about how a driver presents themselves to that officer.
I'm gonna call it straight how it is, (racial profiling) at it's finest with this one
As a much YOUNGER man, I often wondered how Hitler found "men" to do his bidding.
I no longer wonder
I have always said that if you offer the average liberal a wee bit of power over another human being, they will be the first to goose-step all over the Constitution.
Police, doctors, Wal-Mart door greeters, it matters not. I even had a nurse tell me, "I'm just following orders," straight out of the Nuremburg playbook.
exactly there is plenty of karens out there that are just looking for a reason to make others miserable.
also im sure hitler was such a pussy, i bet he never fired a gun, or killed anyone in his life himself,
that guy was a nerd
I kept a fake rat in my glovebox for just such an occasion
It scared the shit out of a few DOT
As always , Great work!
Been doing this for 7 years and I would've gotten my company to sue that officer for what he did. Next time keep cameras in your truck because that man would've lost his job after my company came after him
sure broo lol,
your company would kick you to the curb before causing a ruckus with DOT
Officer is in the wrong his 4th was violated
Unfortunately, he gave up his 4th when he gave them permission to search.
That can be categorized as “making a decision under duress”, which overrides a grant of permission.
@@Goibniu001 I always asked them to get a warrant
At the very least those officers should be accountable. Letting things like this go only feeds their power trip
An attorney’s perspective and an explanation of our rights and what these clowns are and are not allowed to do would have been really nice
That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to start against the state. Where’s the body cam footage?
DOT have been highway pirates for years
I think most are bad. Very few who are out here actually doing the right thing protecting and serving.
That's because they've forced the good ones out
my brother who a cdl driver said some dot officers will get away with anything and everything.
I have been driving semi's for 35 years and have delt with jerks like that during an inspection, it's guy like that once they get thier badge they think they are above everyone else and think they can treat truck drivers like we are idiots.
That stop was outrageous. The bunk looked like it had been ransacked. Pulling a truck in because of a violation is one thing, but pulling a truck in and being hellbent to find something is harassment. The questioning was out of line. It's no one's business what his history was. The officer was on a mission to find something that wasn't there and the whole time he's burning his 14 hours up.
EXACTLY !👍
Thanks for standing up for your fellow truckers
He can't tell you to turn your phone off....that's your right! They can record you right? Don't they get paid by we the people? This was harassment....
How are dot officers being allowed to do truck drivers like this with no repercussions .
You really need to get a lawyer for this guy and just for the record as your constitutional right to record yourself while dealing with any police officer and no they can not order you to shut your phone off when they are performing a public service that goes whether they are investigating you or whether you are recording someone else being investigated by the police as long as you would be 25 feet away not interfere with the investigation
Seems to me after they ran his ID they decided to go fishing since he has a DUI in his jacket.
WTF we as truckers should not be treated like this *EVER* DOT treat us like we're criminals.*EVERYTHING* the officer use in everyday life is brought by us, smh we are definitely not appreciated enough for the job that we do being away from family so everyone is is taken care of.
You need a camera everywhere now a days. Put your own camera in cab and make them undetectable and record from now on. Turn on when they stop you and turn them off when they are done. Vehicle is still considered private property.
If they were talking to DEA officers then your truck was marked for investigation beforehand. They were after you for some dumb reason.
I long for a day when citizens will start treating cops exactly the way they treat citizens
Right there with you. I can't believe it has not happened yet.
For them to go into your sleeper they have to have a search warrant signed by a judge and it must state what they are looking for , or your consent this was told to us and to a young rookie DOT officer by her supervisor, they twist and turn the law to mean anything they want it to
He told the cop to go search. Once u give permission u can’t later say shit. Ppl need to shut up and stop offering information
@@ChildofGodforevr oh yes you can.
If it is on my permission, it is on my permission to end it. That is 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th amendments.
If "I" gave that permission and to that point nothing is found illegal I can end that permission.
Just as I can lawyer-up at any second.
That is on me not an LEO.
Yep... I feel you man. Welcome to the wonderful world of commercial driving. You give up a lot of your rights to almost make a living.
I’m 100% willing to bet that if truckers all stopped running for two weeks, it would bring this country to its knees. You could say that it’s too dangerous to be confronted by the cops, and get some nationwide changes made.
Nowadays you've got to run a camera from from all corners of your truck, just Mount hidden camera on every damn corner of the truck
I was on his side and then he gave them permission to search his cab 🤷♂️
I'm gonna try and get driver on the show
They told him they were going to search his cab regardless if he wanted them to or not because it was part of the inspection.
That’s exactly where I was at with it too. Unless they already searched it without his permission so he’s just angrily telling them to search it out of sarcasm? Idk. But yea, it looks like he offered his truck up to be searched. Fair game at that point. That’s why in these situations you just…DON’T…TALK. Although he shouldn’t have been threatened with arrest FOR talking.
Definitely sounds like the officer was on a power trip. If there were a violations like he said there were he would’ve wrote him up. But it sounds like the officer had no grounds to write a ticket and just fed the truck driver a line of BS
"Go ahead and search my truck"
Brilliant. Just Brilliant
You know we need truck drivers right now why are these cops on Earth giving these young men a hard time my God!!
This makes me super angry. I started losing respect for all the law enforcement people. These public servants need to back off
The question here is what we can legally do to prevent this type of situation keep happening to the drivers…
I also would told these police to go ahead & arrest me ..I have no problems with filling for a early retirement plan on your behalf..
I'm sure your tax payers would be pleased with you..lol
Dot was wrong but so was the trucker volunteering things and not just filming and educating himself on his rights
He should get a lawyer. His Constitution rights were violated..
DEFUND THE POLICE
***Defund***
***Abolish***
***Never Trust the Authorities Criminal Tactics In Amerikkka***
What a perfect example of yet another officer that has forgotten that he works for the people. His power trip ego is disgusting,he needs to go back to gaurding the mall or senior center he came from until he grows up.
Or better yet find another line of work.
The law enforcement works for the state under the guise of working for the people.
