Here's a video of a clinchpoop Bill O'Reilly fan getting stopped in Largo for speeding and having a loud stereo (playing O'Reilly).
As you'll see in the video, O'Reilly's favorite noun seems an appropriate moniker for this fatheaded "Factor" fan who heaped abuse on an officer who had him dead to rights.
After hearing him call the officer a "doughnut-eating animal" a few times, I was disappointed he didn't escalate the confrontation further so I could watch him dance to the music of a hot taser.
Everybody's going to get pulled over sooner or later; no need to be a jerk about it.
UPDATE:
Via Dorkafork in comments, a hilarious video on the topic.
The link doesn't seem to work at the moment - not sure I really want to see it though.
I could never make it as a cop because I'd probably pepper spray the guy for shooting off his mouth. I don't know how cops put up with that sort of stuff all the time.
Posted by: tfhr at August 17, 2006 05:55 AMI have many relatives and friends in law enforcement and the best way to handle being pulled over for any traffic violation is to be cooperative and polite. Insulting the officer gets you nowhere and will probably make things worse for you even if it's something as small of a difference as being issued a warning rather than being issued a ticket. For the most part, law enforcement officers have a legitimate reason for pulling a vehicle over and it is their duty to enforce the laws for the safety of the public. Respect them and they will respect you.

Posted by: dorkafork at August 17, 2006 01:25 PMoh he is so lucky...and I am sure that policeman had somewhere to go at the end of his shift. One or two more words though....
The problem is we have nobody observing any speed laws in Florida it seems. It's ridiculous.
Well, O'Reilly is on soon, can't wait to see this
in the 'Most Ridiculous Item of the Day' segment..btw this guy was shameless.
That's hilarious, Dorkafork. Thanks.
I got a ticket once. The officer was a little taken aback by my pleasantness. He said, "You've sped before, right?" I said, "Sure. I'm not squawkin'."
One ticket per (secret number of) instances isn't too hard to bear. ;)
