- UPDATE 4/4/12 : Just so everyone can rest a little easier, i removed the K-40 System that resulted in this traffic stop. So in reality, i have not divulged any information or given away my secrets.
Watch as a daringly witty Car-Hauler out smarts Virginia State Police ! Make sure your volume is turned up to hear all the action !
They try to act all friendly while trying to stick a knife in you.
Piss on both of them. Tell them to go find a Mustard seed
Just trying to do thier job. Most of them are good people, and they never know what they may have to deal with at every stop. I have gotten both tickets and breaks from the fine people who wear badges. They have a job to do, and nobody likes them until they need them.
Former law enforcement and yeah, I never wasted one second looking for a radar detector. There were plenty of other things to do, like find actual threats to safety and life. 🙄
It makes ZERO SENSE, Radar detectors look for radio frequencies, period. Yet that is illegal in only a few states which is bull shit
I wish all popo was like u ma men .... its a same they try to get trucker for even chicken shit like that .
It's unbelievable they would waste money on radar detector detectors. But that's Virginia. They have so many state troopers it is hard to believe. I often wondered if they have like some kind of draft system where everyone in the state has to be a trooper for a period of time.
@@michaelwaninger3155 it's a fucking joke and I live in Virginia.
Bill1USMC,
Thank you very much. It has been proven in court to be a corrupt law to start with because a detector (at least originally) operated in a public frequency range typically that you garage door opener operates within. I have family heritage in Virginia going back to the 1670s but don’t live there, and it has always chaffed my ass to have to turn off my detector when I was in state, because it simply makes you susceptible to being out of your speed in an area that you have never driven, and you can be doing 55 on a mountain road and come around a curve into a town that changes speeds so quickly that you have to brake to get back to the limit rather then just releasing the accelerator on a road that you have good visibility and distance with no pedestrian issues on.
Anyway thanks for your service in both capacities!

No Shit……
My brother and I went through Virginia many years ago (before everyone had cellphones) towing a truck I bought in PA. We had a blowout on the i-haul trailer and we’re on the side of the road, when a highway patrol officer pulled up. He talked to us for a few minutes. Noticed the radar detector and told us we weren’t supposed to have it. That was that. He took my brother to the next exit to call u-haul for a tire repair. We were there for almost 5 hours. That cop hung around, telling us stories. bullshitted with us even after he was off duty. My brother and he became friends and would often call each other. We live 3 states away. Coolest cop ever!!!
This was by far the best video I have seen in a long time!
If they were really concerned with slowing traffic, instead of worrying about the detectors, make them legal and then periodically post a radar emitter on the interstate so when the signal was picked up people would slow down, but the whole point is generating revenue and not public safety.
@Nobody Else'll Say It If they really cared they would just require every car to have a speed limiter or governor, the way they require cars to have an OBD II or III system installed. That will never happen because they make far too much money from citations.
Your suggestion is so brilliantly logical.
@@NYyankeeboi if they really cared they would just outlaw driving and make everyone stay home, much safer 🤦
@@trepidmetor513 - It has NOTHING to do with safety! And everything to do with stealing from drivers. If speed was really a safety concern, the government would mandate speed limiters on ALL vehicles.
Bingo!
I noticed that everytime the cop asked if the driver if he had the device. he never said no, only deflected the question, very clever.
Yep, never snitch on yourself
Actually that draws more attention .... Being evasive that is ...
It's so frustrating how willing they are to waste the time and money of the people they're supposed to be protecting and serving.
Milking us for nickels and dimes
Like that trucker has no place to go,
All they are is revenue collectors for the state. If a radar detector is illegal, then their radar should be also.
@@Smp88 - nickels and dimes? What century are you living in?
Protect? They are revenue agents.
I’ve seen this video before. Every time it shows up in my suggested I watch it to get a good laugh. I’ve been driving over 40 years. It’s always a good day when you get something bye the cops. A win for the good guys.
All that time and energy and manpower spent looking for a radar detector. What a load of shite wasting the citizens time on such trivialities. Damn government.
My thoughts exactly !!!!
I agree
Mark H
Yep !!
Mark H ...I call va..The communist...wealth..of Virginia
They don’t like a level playing field.i can look at you but don’t you look at me.
Nice job bro.
My buddy had a Pete.
He mounted bilge pumps inside the frame and plumbed them to the tanks.
We were at Boston Market running on fumes. Sitting next to a Conrail locomotive.
We topped off that time, LoL 😂
DAMN GUY DON'T TELL EVERYTHING THE COPS WILL WANT TO DO THE SAME THING
The whole shebang was so comical! Your captions were hilarious...thanks👍😉
I have always contended that Virginia's Radar Detector law is unconstitutional!
It is .
Do explain.
gkiltz0 Virginia is a commonwealth and the laws strip rights from citizens. Another problem in Virginia is a very small gene pool.
Mark Foti you’re one of the dumbest fuckers on UA-cam. Tell me what you think the difference is between a state and a commonwealth?
@@honor4thoseb471 commonwealths suck...
It's a crime that the police waste this much time on something like this.
it's really just another excuse to search random people
Criminals with badges!
They need to kill time before the next fresh batch comes out at Krispy Kreme.
It's a USDOT requirement, the States aren't given a choice
I don't think so because detectors are used to evade law enforcement.
This was AWESOME, I like how this guy outsmarted the cops simply by turning off what they were looking for. Priceless totally priceless. 😎💗✌️
Brill , its a stupid law it keeps the driver alert well done Tim you kept your cool
@Nix .. Obviously it didn't take a lot of effort to 'outsmart' them.
And then how the trucker outsmarted them again by showing on UA-cam exactly where they messed up and where his radar as hidden and….ohhhhh I ….ya….maybe not so outsmarted….
What the heck, they must get a huge bonus if they find a radar detector, they're looking through the truck like they think he's smuggling plutonium.
Nothing wrong with monitoring the police. People have binoculars in their vehicles for the same reason. Who watches the watchers? They work off your dime.
Great idea thank you
@Mister Fister LOL intelligent comeback there (rolls eyes)
Couldn't have said it better my brother
I find it amusing that radar detectors are illegal. to the point they have to make a detector detector. Now someone from Virginia needs to invent the detector detector detector to detect the detector detectors so they can turn off their detector when it detects the detector detector. ;-)
The detector detector works based on how a radio receiver resonates, which generates (radiates) a spurious transmission a little above the frequency it is on. The radar detector is a radio receiver on the radar frequency and it radiates this spurious transmission, which is what the detector detector picks up. You could theoretically create a detector detector detector, but you can actually just build better shielding for your detector and defeat the detector detector by preventing your detector from radiating anything detectable by the detector detector. Not that that is confusing or anything haha
+John Di'argiano lol awesome, thanks for the info, I always love learning more about how things work.
I find it amusing that all those radar things that the cops use and all of those radar detectors and detector detectors and so on are made by the same company.
It is a bit humorous. It is interesting that some government bodies think they can legislate the reception of a radio wave
Me 2.... They're not illegal in Colorado, although, not much is illegal here except "high capacity magazines" smh....
Welcome to Virginia. Pirates and Swashbuckling at every corner. This is really important to the safety of our travelers/piracy
That was good bro! Watched till the end and didn't feel like I'd wasted my time! Cheers!
all this because they suspect him of using a radar detector... fucking disgraceful
Folks running dope & human traffickers & Sex Slavers always run Radar Detectors
Yep useless f*cking dipsh*ts
It's a felony.. that's the disgusting truth unfortunately.
If you follow the law you don't need a radar detector
@@McClellan71 having a radar detector is not a felony
And people still think laws are written to protect the citizens. Laws are written to generate revenue.
fact
Ditto
Traffic laws that is.
exactly
@@llo7816 most laws
I have watched this so many times and the more I watch , the harder I laugh!
Virginia is obsessed with radar detectors. They're really weird when it comes to them, and they've been that way for a long time.
New detectors have the VG2 cloaking device and places the detector on standby automatically.
As a retired OTR Driver, I have to admit that this is of of the best big truck vids I have seen in a long time. The captions where hilarious!!! Thanks, I needed a good laugh today. :D
Nice Job and Love the Dream Theater Scenes From a Memory Jamming afterwards.
Dream Theater Scenes from a Memory as he drives off into the sunset....Priceless!
It's amazing they went through all that trouble for a radar detector. You'd thought they were looking for drugs.
More likely they were ON drugs
The folks I know running dope have alllllll the electronics....& ALWAYS Radar Detectors
I know right . Mske no sense but they can even plant.the shit in ur truck if they want to do it
they were...
It's a felony.. a big score for these knuckleheads.
They desperately wanted to give you a high extortion ticket
That shit was gold driver. Keep up the good work and keep it rolling. Yall parking lot boys are a unique breed out here trucking. Some of the most responsible drivers I've met out here. Keep the rubber side down, come on!
20 years ago, I was driving back from Disney world to Pennsylvania. Right as I got through the top of North Carolina around 1 AM, it was a torrential rain. I was in the right lane doing 45 miles an hour with my Flashers on. I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 miles into Virginia, when a state trooper lit me up. I had a radar detector on my windshield with a stay awake feature. Every 60 seconds it would make a loud alert and I had to push a button to silence it. He walks up to my driver's side glass and tells me to roll the window down. I said I don't think So. 2" is enough. I'm not letting 6 gallons of rainwater come in my driver's window. Why did you stop me. He said "my VG2 has detected a radar detector". I said "I know I wasn't speeding, because my cruise control is set to 45 because I can barely see. He said "I know I didn't Have you for speeding and I appreciate the safe driving. Didn't you see the sign at the border that said radar detectors are illegal? I said "are you freaking kidding me I'm doing the best I can to see 20' in front of me and you want to know if I'm reading signs". He said I understand. give me your license and registration and hand me the detector because I need the serial number. So I did my very best to go as slow as possible looking for my registration and my wallet. If I'm being inconvenienced, hes taking a bath.. He handed me the ticket and I said "you wonder why people hate you?"
Need backup for radar detector stop ? Meanwhile 20 cars speed by in cars loaded with drugs and texting while driving. Great work !
common sense?
Not sure if you know but you not supposed to have only 1 unit o. A traffic stop grow a brain before talkin
if he wasnt breaking the law maybe they could have stopped some of those cars. sucks he tied them up by breaking the law
@@scottsweeting4679 a be law thats only purpose is revenue generation
I'm also sure one of the cars that drove by was a serial killer with a woman tied up in the trunk, or a pedophile who just kidnapped a little kid...
What probable cause did they have to search your vehicle... they got a hit, saw no visual indication that you have a radar detector inside your cab, they scanned again and no hits, so the search should have stopped there!
Well... His radar detector triggered a v2 detector... Any device that uses v2 bands are illegal there...so there's that... And it's a commercial vehicle.... The probable cause is right there in the law
Then we would have missed the fun
He gave them permission to search
FATHER GUIDOSARDUCHI is it.........pal ???
@Pyroman / you don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't know it was illegal to have a radar detector in VA. That's one of the most idiotic laws I've ever heard of.
Speeding in that state is an immediate mandatory driving course.
Southern inbred laws still in action!!
@@johnny265 it’s illegal across the country to have them in a commercial truck, but if you got it in a good spot where they can’t see it you’ll be fine unless you go to Virginia where they have “radar detector detectors”
It's illegal to rev your engine in VA,
So I'm told.
It is only illegal in big trucks that's in all 48 because truck drivers use them to speed .I know your laughing but that is what federal dot says when ask them why are they in cars so they can check there speed
The officers earned their ID 10 T certificates.
Maybe they should be busting real criminals instead of harassing truck drivers.
Bill Miller that involves them actually doing something
Got to get more money for the gov.
Well they're trying to enforce the laws, so that's their job and all.. I know what you mean, though. Thing is they're not all 'assigned' to homicide units lol.. cops have a huge variety of duties. here in CT though, the CT state police have virtually all stopped doing speed traps and even traffic stops it seems.. on highways, of course.
Nah Virginia loves extortion.... trucker is lucky the trooper didn’t “smell weed” Virginia troopers seem to smell a lot of weed at the end of the month...
They are too afraid to go after real criminals, that's why they do this.
This video was HILARIOUS 🤣 I loved the commentary, it fitted exactly what was going on. Loved it!!!
I had a FM blaster back in the days when trying to hear my sirus radio
I always use my radar detector... actually makes me drive slower. I've noticed when I don't have the radar detector i end up driving faster.
When I drove a truck (semi) and was "asked" if they could search the truck I said no not without a warrant. When the cop said we don't need a warrant I (I can recite every right in the BOR verbatim) calmly informed him that the 4th amendment states otherwise and proceeded to quote it to him. He got into his patrol car and left w/o saying anything else.
Hey, I have family who're cops and good friends who're cops, but if I'm to live under the law and they take an oath to the constitution, than I'm gonna adhere to and make them adhere as well.
Probable cause?
@@pg5149 You need more than probable cause to search without a warrant.
I DID BASICALLY THE SAME-POSSESSION OF A RADIO SIGNAL RECEIVING DEVICE (RADAR DETECTOR)IS PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION-THE CAN MAKE YOU TURN IT OFF OR CITE YOU FOR USE-WHICH I WOULD FIGHT IN COURT, BUT, THEY CANNOT CONFISCATE IT !! THE TWO JACKA**ES WOULD BETTER SPEND THEIR TIME PROTECTING CITIZENS AND HIGHWAYS THAN THIS B.S. !!
@Chew Chew Train I've been there too...too many times now. Typically the younger non-experienced cops and female cops...both seemingly out to make a point.
Dave Pragel, You dont need a warrant if you have probable cause. You do need a warrant if you can’t get probable cause. Reasonable suspicion is what you were referring to. It all depends upon what is included. An officer can stop and detain you under probable cause if he sees you breaking the law (speeding). However, that probably cause does not extend to searching your vehicle. If, during the stop, he smells marijuana he now has a reasonable suspicion you have a controlled substance but he can only search if you give him permission. Next step is the drug dog. If the dog hits on your car it is ruled probable cause and he can search without warrant.
One of the many reasons why I'll never move back to VA.
I live in TN like 10 mins from the VA line and I NEVER go there. I avoid VA like the plague
WA Boom : I was born & raised in Southwest Virginia but moved to Ohio 5 years ago. Virginia & their Commonwealth State rules and regulations isn't nothing but a way to fuck the people out of hard earned money . I'm just going to put it out there , I'm from Smyth County Virginia. That is one of the worst places for cops looking for something to charge you with & take your money or worse jail time. All the factorys with good paying jobs are gone & the building leveled.
Now they want your guns!!
Don't come to Texas either .. these cops loves to play fool on truckers then they Say we appreciate what yall doin ... shit me
First of all God for you to outsmart the Pope.
Its about time
And second what brand of cam do you have?
That thing is awesome, and I want one
Thumbs up and subscribed
I love it when people stick it to the man. Power to the people.
The reason for the detector is that the speed limits are set artificially too low so they can become revenue generating devices for the state, police etc. Set the limits properly and the public does not have to resort to having detectors
Speed limits set too low in who's opinion??? The one who thinks he should be allowed to drive as fast as the vehicle can go, or the old couple who thinks nobody should be allowed to drive faster than the normal Summer breeze can blow a leaf???
Remember... You can't take a "30 mph" curve too fast... I'll leave it up to YOU to decide if I mean that if you take the curve much faster than 30 mph you'll probably crash, or if I mean that even though DOT says the maximum speed in the curve is 30 mph, you can actually safely make the curve traveling at up to 80+ mph. If you enter the curve faster than posted and crash... I'll be happy to nominate you for a "Darwin Awards Recipient."
rcmodelr. Speed limits are seldem right outside of the city. Theres a huge number of factors that go into save speed. Like weather type of car condition of car healty and age of driver experience of driver and so on. Who is to say I should go to jail because I broke a limit a group of elitest made. That turn may be only 25 mph in the rain in a big rig or it could be 80 on a good day is a sports car
wchadb817 "Speed limits are seldom right outside of the city." According to whom? You? It's YOUR call as to what the proper speed on a public roadway should be? Isn't that just you being elitist? Speed limits are ALWAYS exceeded. If they say it's 20MPH, people drive 30MPH. If they raised it to 100MPH people would drive 110-120MPH. Who are you to determine what safe speeds are, without ANY driver data to extrapolate and analyze to determine the most effective;limit to post?
ozmedia Im saying if I work a 12hour shift drive home on the same road I drove for years to and from work and do 75 in a 55 at 3am I should go to jail? That's crazy and im not trying to set a speed so no that's not me being an elist
wchadb817
If you drive 75 in a 55 zone are you not breaking the law? Pretty black and white there I think.
I wouldn't consider it a jailable offense, though not sure what your state laws are regarding repeating such offenses, that's entirely irrelevant though.
What I see is that you feel that, at certain times, you should be free to speed at 20 MPH over the posted limit because you are tired after a long work day, are just trying to go home and traffic is minimal.
More so, you should be able to use a prohibited device (as the OP did in this video) in an attempt to stop yourself from being caught speeding. Acknowledging the fault in your actions by trying to protect yourself from the consequences.
This particular stop obviously wasn't anytime near 3AM but I suppose you are no longer talking about the video that was posted, despite that being the subject of my previous comments.
To summarize:
You are trying to justify, using a prohibited device to protect yourself from fines while breaking traffic laws?
People do this all the time, does that make it clever though? People shoplift all the time and get away with it too. That doesn't make it clever or correct in any way, shape or form though.
You should have turned it back on as you pulled away …. LOL.
I was thinking he should have done a U-turn and gone past the statie again after he got himself set up.
Lol too
smokey wud have torn his rig apart till they found it then be $10,000 fine
I would have said I must be in that car beside me. Cop says I didn't see one beside you. Well officer I'm 60 long he was 12foot long easy to see why you didn't see him
I was thinking the same
Nicely done! Would love a look at your gear! (I promise I'm not 5-0).
This one never gets old!
Without a warrant, they cannot search your vehicle. You gave up your rights.
Yes they can, so long as there is one of the circumstances that allow for warrantless searches. Stop spreading false information. You are the reason people get their asses in more trouble than they have to with the police.
JJ Belac You are incorrect. Under no circumstance can they search your vehicle without a warrant without some concrete evidence first.
eishiba10 Think again every state has different laws to "Road Usage" and commercial vehicles fall under a different set of those laws, refusal to allow search of a vehicle on "Public" roads or "Federal" roads can result in vehicle being seized and towed at your expense till warrant can be issued .
The warrant type your confusing is home and or personal business structures, hence "Private Property", Big difference but hey give it a shot sometime and tell us all how it worked out for you .
My Reference Tow Jocky / Repo'er in Commonwealth of VA some 15 years ago, trust me the laws have only gotten tighter in VA .
eishiba10 Whatever you say... See how well your advice pans out for you next time you find yourself in that situation.
JJ Belac under this circumstance the officier can't period. You must be a cop you can always tell how stupid they are.
I was stationed (Navy) in Virginia for two years. One of my happiest memories is Virginia in my rearview mirror.
Another fine day given truckers a hard time!!!!
do truck drivers not get protection from searches without warrants? couldnt the trucker have told them to pound sand without a warrant, or sued them afterwards for violating the 4th?
Can't imagine two officers spending this much time to find a flipping radar detector.
Folks running dope & human traffickers & Sex Slavers always run Radar Detectors
Commercial vehicle violation. Part of Federal regulations
Tax dollars at work. LMAO
Yep, thats what ego does to a person. All a cop wants is a win. The adrenalin of control. Purely ego driven. People might overlook that ego isn't just a word, an attitude. It's a real damn thing that is highly destructive..Ego has caused wars, brought down empires and kindoms. All the police training in the world is essentially useless when ego comes into play. The types that mostly become cops have an ego to begin with. Ego is an exact definition that encumbers all of the following, narcissisism, conceit, arrogance, anger issues, ,often bipolar, various multiple personality type disorders,depression independent of bipolar, which highly contributes to suicidal tendencies of cops. Politicians are trying to make it impossible for gun ownership ,and yet these are the types holding guns. And that's said in all seriousness. What does it take for a cop to finally lose their ego,, they kneel on someone's neck for 9 minutes already handcuffed, kill that person and go to prison for life. Now where's your ego.
It has to be one of their " Hard On Laws " they focus on.
The amount of time spent and the dangers created by these types of stops just befuddle me. I'm grateful they are out there, but this kind of seek & destroy just isn't right.
Yes America is ripe with crime drugs gang activity Shootings and property crime and these grown men waste there time on this fishing expedition?
Welcome 2 New Way World

Dont be grateful for these two. They're useless pieces of shit who harass good people on easy infractions.
This is one of the best UA-cam videos.
Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia? I thought you were allowed to pick up ANY signal in the airwaves per the FCC???
How many drug runners and criminals drove by while they were sitting there? What a waste of time.
NORMAN OTT even if 100 percent of the drivers passing by were rapist , murderers , and thief’s hypothetically speaking the cops wouldn’t know it and you can’t pull someone over unless you have something to go on
,
You cant stop people for no reason. Well that's how it's meant to be. Even if a rapist was driving past, and they pulled them for something like being on a phone etc.. They wouldn't say, "oh btw im a rapist!" The driver would still be free to go on his way raping or murdering.
They had probably cause on the truck, so they done what they are meant to. We may not like, or even agree with what they are doing, but non the less they was doing nothing wrong in this video.
Unlike in 1000s of other yt videos
he's bored because most real criminals are illegals and they are all angels right?
Did you mean waste?????
Riddle Me This Batman....The trucker is supposed to help the trooper figure out how to bust him?! What a racket!
When you have a job to do, it doesn't hurt to ask for help.
Not when that job is to harass Society and fine Society/ rob them on the side of the hwy! Every time a cop pulls me over I'll give him my license and registration and then I shut the fuck up he gets no more help from me! None of his business where I'm going or where I'm coming from and if I'm in my 18-wheeler he's looking at my logs I don't help him read my logs!

Ex truck driver here, I see nothing wrong with knowing where the pigs are at. Looks like you had an invasion of privacy. Good job driver
I thought YOU were the pig?
I wonder how many people you injured or worse, by your careless driving. Truckers are the bane of the highways. They drive too fast putting lives in danger. They drive when they are too drowsy, putting lives in danger. I've seen them barrelling down the highway in snow storms when they should be parked. They don't put their chains on in the mountains when they should, because it takes up too much of their precious time. By the way, I drive a delivery van full time for a living out on the highway, and have nearly been run off the road a number of times by the big rigs so I know exactly what I'm talking about.
You dont know shit
I Love Truckers I was one prior to joining the Navy the only reason I am no now is I'm blind in my left eye
@@rickbarnes7745 you know exactly what you’re talking about? So what’s your solution? Goods need to be transported in trucks. You remove the trucks, you remove the lifeblood of this country. We are not at the point yet where AI is going to take over the show. Of course there are low quality drivers, but I promise you, there is a higher percentage of bad four wheeler drivers then there is of bad truck drivers. You should know this from your “delivery van” job. Most Four wheelers don’t care about anyone but them selves. Zero courtesy.

Nothing like the creepy feeling of being scrutinized and judged and examined by the Police.

I love going into a rant telling officers of all the corruption in government I've come across. Holds them up for ages. They get ants in their pants wanting to leave!
if you dont like it then dont use the roads built by the government use your own path and no one may stop you
@@rascallyrabbit8548 you mean the roads I paid for by taxes. I think your under the misapprehension that the government paid for the roads from money they made. They stole the money under the threat of force, if you don't give us money we lock you up or shoot you. I can't believe ppl r so stupid to make such a comment.
@@dadadaa2034 paying tax does not equal ownership silly
Is the officer doing the search have DOT certification to stop a commercial vehicle? Is the officer taking longer than necessary for the initial reason for the stop? Was searching the driver's duffle bag lawful or a violation of rights? Just a few questions to consider.
Oddly, no one seem to be concerned that this fellow has indeed broken the law. That in itself is messed up.
Looking for a radar detector? What a monumental waste of time......
Exactly my thoughts
He wasn't speeding, and truck driving IS a profession. More truck drivers are killed every year than in any profession out there. A store clerk is next on the list.
@ If people weren't pulled over for driving the speed of traffic or slightly over then there'd be no need for a radar detector. Only way to prevent a speeding ticket is to drive slightly under the speed of traffic. And because of that traffic is increased significantly not only because of the average speed on the highway but also because of the lack of passing done in passing lanes in fear of getting a speeding ticket. In that situation speeding to pass quickly and move back to the right lane would prevent more accidents than it causes. But again, many people don't do that in fear of getting a speeding ticket.
Meanwhile a bank is getting robbed.
They are SERIOUS about it in Virginia. (I say stupid.... but they didn't ask me.)
Whats next, a radar detector sniffing dog?
Don't give the pigs any ideas. They'll charge the taxpayers thousands to train "radar detector dogs".
Whole video I am imagining "Eastbound and Down" by Jerry Reed playing.
Dont they need a warrant to search your vehicle? or does it vary county to county?
I grew up and worked in Va for many years. I believe it is one of only two states where Radar Detectors are illegal and subject to seizure. I knew and worked with a Pennsylvania man who rented a room Monday-Friday and worked as a Mechanic in Loudoun County. A Trooper pulled him over and demanded his Radar Detector. The man said unless you draw that pistol, I'm not giving it to you. The Trooper drew down on him and the man complied. After receiving his ticket, the man drove directly to the local Magistrate's Office and he swore out a Warrant against the Trooper for Armed Robbery. The judge conceded but told him don't ever let me see your face again. This was the only account I ever heard of a person receiving their property back after a State Police seizure. The DMV has a ridiculous point system too and it's a trap, a revolving door that is very difficult to get out of because it is a HUGE source of income for the Commonwealth.
they are illegal in every state for semi trucks.
Bassmangotdbluz aAXDDDFCGp
that is very true, don't speed. but that is also so boring lol. luckily i have a slow car now. i see all these fast cars and just feel bad that its like torture for them. police are all over them real quick.
i was in the blue ridge mountains of NC and some kid in an orange M3 BMW went by faster than me. wasn't going that fast but he might as well be driving a huge disco ball. i can only imagine how many tickets he got with that car.@Duke Brooks (WGMD)
@Duke Brooks (WGMD) They are not illegal in Connecticut; that law was repealed in 1992.
Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia, DC, on all military installations, and in all commercial vehicles over 10000 lbs.
Radar jammers are illegal in all states per federal law.
Laser jammers are illegal in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and DC.
You DO know that this story is not apocryphal (in any way) -- it is just another 'good guy (truck driver) v bad guy (police officer enforcing the law -- a law that many do not care for) story and is total 'horse-hockey', RIGHT? Find something that people feel strongly about or in a 'containing' site (etc.) and put it here. You may not have 'invented' this but you are just repeating and supporting the meme -- this meme, that is totally bogus.
It's like the story about (name a highly sought after ball player here) where a woman is in an autograph line and says: 'My son would just DIE to have your autograph, MR. XXXX ('Adding a name' to increase authenticity and the chance that someone is going to 'buy it')!' To wit, Mr. XXXX retorts: 'Well, may he rest in piece!!!' Same principle -- one gets to see the bad guys get 'owned'. There isn't a State Trooper alive that would draw their firearm just because they were given an 'or else' ultimatum for something like this. The local FOP wouldn't even be able to save their jobs if they did that. At the worst, they would arrest the law-breaking' driver -- most definitely they would NOT draw their service weapon. If you think that they would, well that's how one can explain how you bought into that one.
we pay the cops for this?
To really qualify as paying that would imply we do it voluntarily, by choice.
kelly perry tif that is all they got to do then lay them off
,
Nope, we pay for their donut habits..........
These traffic cops pay for themselves unfortunately. They issue enough citations to cover their salary plus some. If everyone who got a ticket regardless of guilt would fight it in court the municipality would lose money on tickets and only issue them in situations where the violation is serious.
Bbonez true fact
This was HILARIOUS!🤣
They were angry because you didn't contribute to the Annual Law Enforcement Dance! 👍
I-81 in Virginia is a speed trap. Every few miles, the speed limit goes down to 60 just to nail you.
Tell me Virginia isn't a police state
And now it's totally controlled by Democrats ...just like 1860.
All because of the dirty rotten RPV.
Va's not bad really. Not nearly as tight as others I've been in.
hawkdsl lol Virginia is turning into a wannabe California there on track for self destruction soon
Ironic, isn't it? The home of Thomas Jefferson believes in restricting liberty
All this for a detector? Slow day?
this is all cops do ....look for revenue..and false arrests..and lying to everyone..
They do it on busy days too.
Radar detector busts are a HUGE revenue source in Virginia. Most of the judges I've dealt with in Virginia are on a serious power trip.
VA is one of few states that actually enforce this dumbass law
They smelled doughnuts...
I remember when radar detector detectors came out here in Virginia. That's one of our sillier laws.
What is the fine if you are caught with a radar detector in Virginia? I just did a 3 hr drive in Virginia and saw dozens of cars pulled over.
Thank God that we have Po-Po that concentrate on the really,really serious crime like this and don't tie themselves up wasting their time on such trivial victimless crimes like rape, murder, robbery, burglary, home invasion etc. True blue knights of justice.
This is highway patrol. They don't deal with such matters. When such matters are called in, they are given top priority to police of that jurisdiction. These police enforce traffic laws because believe it or not, they are designed for safety. Someone going 10-15 over may not seem like a big deal but depending on the vehicle 10-15 over at highway speeds means much more damage can happen much faster if an accident were to occur which is why speed limits are enforced.
the truckers don't really drive fast man I never seen a trucker pass me on the hwy they use the radars so they can go faster then 55mph but not stupid fast they always leave a lot of room in front of them and they normally only go over the speed limit when the roads are nice and open with traffic almost none existent.
I am a truck driver too, and I have been harrassed and bullied by local DOT enforcement officers so many times that I am afraid to even take my truck on the road anymore. The sad part is that all of my company's trucks have electronic logs and a "driver improvement monitor" that monitors how I drive, how quickly I accelerate or decelerate, how fast I take turns (by a G meter), and it also has a camera that monitors my lane centering and goes off if I come close to a lane or get within 2 car lengths of another vehicle. To an extent, it can be a good thing because it makes you better as a driver, but it is also alarming because when they malfunction, they can also take your career to the shitter with them. Technology has gone way too far and the companies are following suit. They trust a malfunctioning computer system over the driver. Gone are the days when we could use 2 or even 3 log books. Any way that state legislators can shaft you, best believe they will.
I've been retired now for 12 years, but I watch these videos and shake my head at such baloney …. and they wonder why there is a driver shortage … bunch of dumbasses. Even your own company will shaft you, on top of all the BS we put up with out on the road. So glad I survived and I'm done.
DOT are the worst, wanna be cops who couldn’t pass the exam and are angry
AT&T has that GPS junk “for safety” and the first thing they did in our area was to suspend someone for going home on his lunch hour (on HIS TIME) to use the restroom. When his time was over-run by his dispatch, he notified his supervisor, but his supervisor conveniently “forgot” that tidbit of info. The Union won the grievance back.
I'm happy to say I should have less than 2 years left and they can shove it 😎 God bless all you guys that hang in there after I am gone
yes I'm retired also to much b.s. just make a living
Nice, loved the video/subtitles. Hilarious.
That was SO nice of you to help out the storm-troopers! 😂
Good on you mate, having a radar detector is a victimless crime. Please keep it up. Glad you beat the bastards. safe driving!!
@@markk917 Oh please you saint. I'm sure that you never speed and obey all the traffic laws. Do some research b4 you speak. The majority of accidents that tractor trailers are involved in are the fault of passenger vehicles cutting trucks off, slamming on breaks in front on them etc. Not due to trucks speeding. You want some scientific studies done by various state and federal DOT I can post the links as I'm sure you can't be bothered to look them up yourself or even read them anyway. Much easier to throw a blanket statement out there saying trucks that speed kill family's.
Mark M-K How do you know he speeds. You’re making assumptions . I have a radar detector and I don’t drive like a crazed maniac. I find it to be insurance.

Microphone dropped. Lol
@@markk917 Stop with the what ifs.Have you ever speeded? All of us have and most accidents are from distracted driving and just straight up bad drivers on cell phones and drunk drivers.
I don't see what's wrong with having a radar detector. On the other hand, I have been all over the United States and never felt the need for one. A CB Radio, yes. Radar detector, no.
Nothin wrong with a little cat and mouse fun! Good job on hiding that radar detector. Merry Christmas!🎄
Except wasting time.
Didn't waste my time Hey a good laugh is priceless these days
What state or county was this in against the law to have a detector
😂😅🤣😂😅🤣👏🤩I laughed so hard at this one. Just subscribed ‼️
There was probably someone who actually needed to be stopped for reckless driving or who needed help while they were spending all that time looking for a radar detector.
Very cool! Glad they never found it, chalk one up for the underdog.
in our country the police can use this clip as evidence to charge latter
in my truck i had a JAMMER,,their radar detector would NOT pick me up,,it was under my front bumper,next to my right turn signal,,,never,,never touch your brake pedal,,your stop lights will show big red light,then your caught,
@ when your finished prying your lips off that boot you might do a little research and you will realize most accidents are caused by people in the cars. Those professionals deliver everything you wear, eat,drive, everything in your home,etc.
While Roscoe has stopped the bad guys, mules are passing by smuggling narcotics!😆
It’s 12 years ago, 2010, I’m certain they know all about the “built in” detectors now. You, sir, were one of the last great men to travel the VA highway system!
Meanwhile there have been 4 break-ins, 1 grand theft auto, a bank robbery, numerous domestic violence cases, and probably a whole lot else. Thanks officers! What a great way to spend your time and our money.
@@ArtemkaPannat while I agree with you,
expecting every citizen to behave rationally and appropriately all the time would be an act of futility. We should however be able to expect our police officers to respond with some thought put in to what acts deserve their attention and what do not. Being a police officer is a very hard job. Both my grandfathers were cops. I have nothing but respect for them. I think they need to be paid more and trained much better.
Superb. I just watched your video for second time. It's that good, just perfect. your comments are classic, I just love it. You played it perfectly. First blocking his view in a very unassuming way. No need for him to think you're hiding something.and then when you actually move over and lean on the fender and let him have a good view he still misses it. Classic. Cops are so often so evasive and deceptive it's wonderful to see someone beat them at their own game. Sort of like watching Cool Hand Luke.
Virginia giving tickets is big business for the state. Speed traps are very legal and several counties raise big dollars with them. If I have to drive through any part of the state I make sure I don't need to stop there and spend any money in this state.
I thought for sure you were going to switch it back on as you took off!
I've been a commercial driver for 31 years they never cease to amaze me you would think they would make them go to school or something stupid is as stupid does
Folks running dope & human traffickers & Sex Slavers always run Radar Detectors
Typical state laws tryna minimalize our freedoms.
And you can’t cure stupidity you’ll always have it
That dash cam is awesome he’ll u can hear them talking outside
I've been driving 14 years and never used a detector before. I got a ticket once in 2010 for doing 58 in a 40. I was leaving a very small town name Pennington, Alabama. I picked up to much speed before passing the 55 mph sign. I paid a $140 fine and it didn't go on my record. If I had not told my company. I would not have lost a $250 safety bonus. I said if I ever get another speeding ticket. I'm telling them nothing.
"Don't mind the 2 log books" LOL
This reminds me so much of the Virginia I grew up in. Gestapo like treatment all for a radar detector in the only state that bans them. A trooper and sargent for backup that totally waste their time for the states backward policies. I now live in North Carolina and feel like I'm going to a foreign country when I go home on visits.
Radar detectors have been banned from commercial vehicles for some time.. a few still run them but the tickets cost as much if not sometimes more than the speeding... besides who wants to waste time with harassment?
@@virginiamyers9492 I fully understand but it's ok in all other states. I lived in Virginia for 62 years and now live in North Carolina. Life is much different here and many more freedoms. I haven't had a radar detector in at least 30 years but I can run one is all states but VA. There is no harrassment except VA. Thanks
They're also illegal in the nation's capital. Washington DC
YOU ARE!
I’m always pleased to see the radar drones when I’m driving to Virginia Beach. I make sure that they know that they are number #1.
Everyone is still up in arms over this video..... Again, both officers were very friendly and professional and I returned the same courtesy. Yea there are subtitles posted on the video that may indicate a radar detector, but I assure you, 3 weeks later(after this was posted)the truck was searched again and no illegal devices were found. If the truck was searched right now, now "switches" or "knobs" are installed on or in the truck. Yea I posted subtitles on a video that may or may not convey what or wasn't inside the truck. Had I posted "there's a dead body under the bunk" what would the comments been? I wasn't speeding or breaking any law the day I was pulled over. They did their investigation and I was sent on my way , with a clean bill. So all these Monday morning lawyers need to relax. It was a win in my book. I have a clean driving record and DAC. I don't run down families in a coke raged fury. This is just a simple video , shot with a go-pro that happened to catch a moment of my day. I voluntarily allowed the police to search my truck. I had nothing to "hide". I do enjoy reading the debates and seeing these very strong views of the police doing their job. Yea , 20 minutes of my life was wasted, so be it. I find it humorous that complete strangers can assess my character over a tongue in cheek video. Life is full of cat and mouse games. I won one, trust me, it's not always this easy. So everyone needs to relax and not get so bent over a video that is vague at best. So have fun defending me or degrading me, either way , I am sitting back laughing!

Yes one day I'll put out another stupid video
the drummer from dream theatre went to my highschool
Just watched the video from start to finish. I am usually pro law enforcment, but let's face it...2 VA state troopers spending 10 minutes (20 minutes of manpower time) searching for a radar detector? They each could have been doing something very productive - like writing tickets to people that were weaving on the roads because they were distracted by texting on cell phones. Or, my other favorite, folks that insist on driving a half car length off my back bumper at 50 MPH.
to be honest i dont give a shit for the radar detector i was luaghing my ass off the whole time the video was playing =)
Stix Bman Laughing about what? I guess some people just like to laugh.
Pete Dooley because laughter is the best medicine =D
After the officer searched the truck without a warrant, did you reenter the truck to find $500 missing?
hello can we ask if we can post this video on our UA-cam channel ?
