Buy These Tickets Or I Take Your Car

A cop offers those he stopped a deal, buy some tickets to the policeman's ball or he'll confiscate their car for expired registration.
The last time I checked, blackmail was illegal, even from cops.

Seems he posted the video to fb only, but cop's knee deep in it now.

"The commissioner has taken the officer off the streets but is waiting for Internal Affairs to complete its investigation before deciding to fire him.

The district attorney will then have to decide if criminal charges should be filed against the officer."

Please tell me he didn't just put the video up on youtube?

If you're going to record this kinda shit, report that corrupt asshole.

This looks like it could be fake. But assuming it isnt, I'm sure getting your car from impound is gonna cost you more than $30 so it's a no brainer.

I suppose you'd all be happier having your car impounded and the hassle that goes with that huh?

I think I would be happier with the cop fired and the $30-$50K I would get from the city as a settlement.

I highly doubt your car can be impounded for driving with an expired registration , even in PA. That is very nearly the least significant traffic violation there is. Of course, the police lie about that sort of thing all the time, which is probably the case here.

Even though people hate them, this is actually one of the reasons I'm all for automated traffic policing devices such as speed cams, stoplight cams and even more advanced devices as technology allows (with proper care for privacy in data collection). In the US, for instance, everybody knows you can generally drive up to 9 miles an hour over the speed limit without worry. This should not be the case. The police let this happen because if everybody is always technically speeding because that's just what's done, they can justifiably pull over and hassle whoever whenever they want to (read: minorities).

My understanding is in California your car can be towed and impounded by an officer if your vehicle is six months out of registration.

Ive been pulled over with expired tags multiple times. They have used it as an excuse to check me out. I've been let go the couple times its happened to me. One time just had a good conversation about disk golf after he saw my disks in the car. Another time he wanted to search my car, which i refused. Then i was given a drunk test and grilled about why he couldn't search my car. He ended up just letting me go.

That's essentially how it works in every fucking country, including the U.S. Pay the bribe or do the time.

eric3579said:

^ really dude?

Getting your car from the impound opposed to paying the bribe is kinda missing the point. Don't ya think?

newtboysays...

Your car can be impounded for whatever reason the cop wants to make up to make it 'legal' for him to do so.

>Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey told Action News that Internal Affairs is investigating the incident involving the officer, 32-year-old Matthew Zagursky.
He’s a nine year veteran of the force.

Extortion, homophobic slurs...
How long do you think it'll take this shitface to work as a cop in another city?

Had to upvote your comment just because of this. Garden variety Innova/Discraft or something a bit more exotic?

eric3579says...

It was about 15 years ago. I threw mostly Innova disks. Haven't played in 8ish years but still have 40 or 50 disks sitting in a bag somewhere. Maybe one day ill pick it up again.

Fuck you guys are so anti-cop zealous its really becoming an echo chamber in here. You all seem to forget (or more likely completely dismiss) that the driver's breaking the law in the first place.

The cop probably should have had the car towed and impounded and issued a fine, but he's probably not a complete dick and thought he'd let them off with a warning if they bought a few tickets.

You're all acting like the bastard killed someone.
