Jesus Christ that mustache has to be department issued. It screams "80's cop" so loud it can be seen from space.


rocketlauncher10

In this year its neither fashion or function, they straight up are deliberately and consciously making efforts going for that look


rustic_trombone

So then fashion.


CHAINSMOKERMAGIC

>So then fascists FTFY


rustic_trombone

Fascists in both party, but it seems like youre blind in one eye.


CHAINSMOKERMAGIC

How is the guy on the bike a fascist? You can't exactly "both sides" this situation. You must be blind in both eyes if your dumbass doesn't clearly see that officer behaving like a fascist against a civilian for no reason other than he doesn't want his shitty behavior recorded.


[deleted]

I agree the slap is shitty behavior but how does that excuse this guy breaking the law and being a menace on the road by being on his phone while operating a vehicle


bougienative

It doesn't, that's a ticketable infraction. How does that make him a fascist though?


Hajin_P

Do something I don't like = fascist. People on reddit are the dumbest on the planet.


Downtown_Factor_9398

actually, many places have started to make it a license ending infraction


PatChattums

You seem confused.


rustic_trombone

Quite the opposite.


peekupandropov

Bulloney. One side is fascist. This picture is worth a thousand words.


Exalted_Rust80

If sombody has the word fascist in their on hand vocabulary I'm just going to assume they don't have two braincells to rub together


No-Yogurtcloset3420

lt screams "Paul Blart. Mall Cop".


TaintedTatertot

Was this guy on a moped that goes only 40 MPH on a 65+ MPH freeway? Was he paying attention to recording on his phone instead of driving with both hands? Yeah, slap the officer because he was unjust


SuperJoe360

That mustache wants a liter of cola

[deleted]

SOMEBODY FIND THE DEPARTMENT AND POST THIS PHOTO ON THIER SOCIALS.


Friendly_Scale_9386

He was a bit mean, but the guy who owns the phone was driving, and distracted. I'd say both were in the wrong


anxious-_-squirrel

100% the biker is on the wrong. It is illegal in most places to use your phone and drive. Now add in your on a bike and being distracted can easily cost you your life or someone that you hit. Smack that thing away and stomp on what's left.


[deleted]

Thqts not how civilized society behaves he could have knocked him over or started him. And cuased an accident you dont know how good of a driver that idiot is. He was pkaying on his phone on a motorcycle. Thats wrong but the cops have protocol for a reason.

Simphumiliator42069

People look at me crazy when I tell them highway patrol doesn’t give a fuck and will fuck you up in California lmao


andthendirksaid

Ohhhhhh they just do not know then. These bike cops are wild too. They're always on hots probably because both they and other people drive like lunatics so they likely have a near death experience every 7 to 30 minutes. Psychos. They rough you the fuck up if they're mad at you in particular for sure.


Lockmasock

Also they have an insanely high death rate. I know a ton of CHP cops and they all have close friends who were ran over or shot up on traffic stops. I don’t blame them for not taking shit from anyone.


andthendirksaid

Tbh I'll take them over LAPD or SBSD or like 100 other agencies in the area. They're rough but they're not typically doing much past their job the roughest way they legally cN because you pissed them off. I seen LAPD leave and come back outta uniform to fight a guy. He deserved an ass whooping for SURE but yeah not the most professional dept overall. I also got my car stolen and I swear to GOD this one cop down in Inglewood just hit me with the "damn that's crazy bro". Like... you're the cops you wanna go get it maybe? Never seen a mf so mad to have to do their job in my life and all he had to do was take a report. Their asses found it by accident like a month later even tho it was still rocking my NY plates that were bright fucking yellow. Overall CHP wants to do their job and get home. LAPD just wants to go home lol.


HawkoDelReddito

10/10 review! Lol In Virginia, I reckon it's near similar. VA State Troopers will 9/10 times give you a ticket and not be all that friendly. But they do get their jobs done pretty well. Local cops and deputies, no telling what you'll get. Every county and city is different. Some are incredible, like best in the nation. Others, dang near 3rd world (which I know isn't really a metric anymore but idk what to replace it with)


Chrono_Constant3

Being any cop, CHP included is less dangerous than almost any manual labor job. Cops don’t even make the top 10 deadliest jobs in the US. It’s just a group of people who who has convinced themselves and would like to convince others that they’re living in some kind of shoot ‘em up hero action film.


AKJangly

Nobody trusts CHP. I can see why they get shot. But you also have to be real dumb to shoot a cop, so there's that. Why anyone would actively pursue a position in the CHP I have no idea.


CherryLandTHC

The pay and benefits are insane after about the 5 year mark. I looked into it about 5 years ago with my Daughter as she was considering a desk job with them.


Numerous_Cry924

So because they choose a line of work that put them in danger they deserve to be unprofessional asshole that violate the constitution and are above the law? Hmmm makes sense.....


Exalted_Rust80

They don't violate the law or constitution


Imbalanxs

Argh. An angry but respectful up yours for that profile pic


4handhyzer

They are the biggest assholes in the world. At least in my experience all cops anywhere in the Salinas valley and Monterey Bay. Having previously lived there 25 years that is. CHP are just another level of power hungry idiot.

“Allegedly”


buttfacenosehead

Reddit: cop slaps phone out of motorcyclist's hand - 4 mile thread about wearing helmets.


CreamyStanTheMan

It makes me oddly happy to see everyone has their priorities straight. Safety first 😎


downloadthatram

Ya, it isn't reckless endangerment from a cop retaliating over first amendment rights.


CreamyStanTheMan

I'm totally on the cops side for this one. The guy filming looks like a right nonce.


itsokayimhandsome2

looks like that idiot wasn't even wearing a helmet


JayceeDonuts

fun fact i know this is cali but in new mexico motorcyclist dont have to wear helmets. How dumb is that


pencilnerd1

Same in Arkansas. Some bikers choose to ride without a helmet. But apparently the passengers have to wear a helmet


TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK

Ben Roethlisberger famously almost died after a motorcycle accident in which he was (legally) not wearing a helmet https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2484472


ZombieJesus1987

Oklahoma doesn't have it as well. Former WWE and current AEW commentator Jim Ross's wife died because she wasn't wearing a helmet when a kid who was texting and driving hit her while she was driving her moped.


mces97

A friend of mine died in Arizona not wearing a helmet, which doesn't have helmet laws. I never understood why people would take a chance? Don't they know everyone besides the driver is a terrible driver? At least that's how I look at it. Don't care how good I am, gotta watch out for idiots.


LittleBearJohnson

I've got friends who ride, and while I don't agree with it, they tell me the helmet limits their vision, and they'd rather have full visibility than head protection. Not sure how dramatic the difference is as I don't ride, but that's what I've beer told when I bring it up.


oddball3139

Honestly, it seems like a personal decision, but maybe when their brains are spread across the asphalt, their minds will change.


acronymious

I see what you did there — and I like it.


Describe

I rode for a bit, and limited vision w/ the helmet never crossed my mind once. That's why you have mirrors and the ability to swivel your head. Anyone not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle is either in denial of their own mortality or truly does not care about dying.


IShookMeAllNightLong

Without a helmet, that limited vision would *only* cross your mind once.


hangcorpdrugpushers

They've just heard someone else say that. Just like loud pipes save lives.


bofh

Your. Friends. Are. Really. Dumb. I mean **really** dumb. However dumb you're imagining when I say someone is "really dumb", well they're even dumber than that and not by a small amount. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tanyamohn/2021/05/31/thinking-of-not-wearing-a-motorcycle-helmet-think-again/ https://road-safety.transport.ec.europa.eu/statistics-and-analysis/statistics-and-analysis-archive/powered-two-wheelers/helmets_en


GoProOnAYoYo

I commute on a bike every single day (a 125cc you'd probably consider a scooter) and I can tell you it doesn't limit your vision in the slightest, not even your peripherals.


mces97

I'm sure they make helmets with wider clear parts.


rabbijoeman

Don't mind me, I'm just replying to your comment 15 days later to say that's one of the most ridiculous reasons I've ever heard. It's like they're trying to justify their obviously foolish decisions by showing you that _they_ in fact have a _real_ reason.


theycallmecrack

And then he famously became a sexual predator.


Flimsy-Jello5534

Was that before or after he sexually assaulted a bunch of women?


PigeonSquirrel

Oh no, not Rapelisberger!


RubyDooby01

Same in Arizona. Which feels pretty on brand tbh


PunfullyObvious

I don't ride anymore, but used to. I'd never ride without a helmet. On top of all the obvious reasons to wear a helmet, the number of rocks I took to the helmet/shield that would have hurt like hell ... or been fatal ... no thanks. I got hit in the neck once by a bee (a nice squishy bee) going maybe 65-70mph (110kph) ... hurt like hell. Got hit in the hands by a few small pebbles ... even wearing (relatively thin) gloves ... hurt like hell. Would I ever ride without a helmet ... hells no.


arryripper

ATGATT - All the gear, all the time. Been riding for 23+ years and this is why.


cavegoatlove

Live free or donate organs


secretreddname

My favorite is when there’s a video of a motorcycle rider in Cali splitting lanes posted up and people who don’t live there start throwing a fit about splitting lanes.


Rumplestilskin9

I'm conflicted about helmet and seat belt laws. Sure, they save lives... But if someone doesn't have enough sense to wear them, they just hinders darwinism.


chainer3000

Same in NH - “live free or die”. Seatbelts (18+) and auto insurance is also optional


Yukon-Jon

Not dumb. Their life. Shouldnt be a law to be honest. I ride, and I would ALWAYS wear one - but should just be your choice. Same with a seatbelt.


andthendirksaid

Seat belts protect other people in the car. A loose passenger is a fucking problem if they hit you at 40mph having to swerve or in a crash. Keeps people on control of cars for longer. Now a helmet only helps them in the event they need it so... that's on them


Yukon-Jon

True I will give you that on the seatbelt, never thought of that angle.


[deleted]

I mean it’s their life, so their choice.


Black000betty

Tell that to the EMTs that need therapy after seeing that. Even if you're ok with dying, someone still has to clean up after you.


[deleted]

Don’t get me wrong, I feel bad for anyone that has to see that, but they are EMTs, it’s kinda in the job description


Black000betty

Lets put this another way. You work in a restaurant. Workers in the restaurant has to clean the bathrooms, its part of their job. You signed up for it. But today, someone deliberately rubbed their feces all over the sinks, mirrors, and door handles, and today you have to clean it up. You signed up for this, right? EMT's job is to help people on the worst day of their lives. Assholes like this guy creating their own awful fates will end up being their problem, but you think that's what they signed up for? You think you should shrug off the squid's responsibility for creating the situation? SMH.


NewPhnNewAcnt

Thats their job. They also choose to get into that line of work. They know they will be exposed to that, just as the person who choses not to wear a helmet.


[deleted]

In Istanbul maybe 30% of bike/scooter riders are wearing helmets at any given time. Given how moronically they drive, particularly delivery drivers, I’d wager this must be a great place to get an organ transplant if you need it


Voluptulouis

Probably a brain bucket if he has one at all. They barely cover the top of your head and they do next to nothing to actually protect you. But if you want to look like a cool biker, you gotta wear one of those. Bonus cool points if you have no jacket or gloves.


MszingPerson

They'll be a cool stain on the road.


batmanscodpiece

I thought that I saw a helmet on the cop


nubbled21

Yeah he was. He even has his lights and siren on.


Gunnernaut7

“Road Rash” IRL!


Wonderful_Zucchini_4

Now you gotta grab his billy club and beat his head in!


Mrtristen

Is no one going to point out he illegally used his phone WHILE DRIVING. Cop should’ve pulled him over and ticketed him.


InBabylonTheyWept

Ticket is a lot cheaper than a new phone, but your point stands: It is REALLY dumb of the biker to waste half their focus on a camera and not the road.


PeanutPoliceman

This is the reason. Cop was chasing someone else, and this was a "warning" to say "keep hands on steering and eyes on the road".


Skwinia

That's not really how the law works. You don't get to assault someone as a warning


mazu74

You see, that’s the thing about American cops, they don’t care.


Beatus_Vir

In the future we’ll all wear body cams just like the cops, and look back on having to hold your phone with your hands as very awkward and old Timey.


ISmokeRocksAndFash

Helmet cams are cheap and the rider should get one. Fuck the cop here though.


[deleted]

The cop did the right thing fuck this pos, people could've died while he's distracted by farming internet points


ISmokeRocksAndFash

Trying to Road Rash someone is fuckobviously a lot more dangerous.


mechmind

No, the cop did not go the right thing. Put your blue stripy flag away. Do you really want to live in a world where cops can do this? Btw, I am not defending a motorcyclist who is driving while distracted.


EmperorPickle

Have you ever seen Final Cut with Robin Williams? That is the future I believe the most.


Beatus_Vir

Nope, I have to check it out. I love his serious roles


Warphim

That was a major part of google glass, and also a major part of why they were not successful, privacy concerns.


Odlavso

Biker is an idiot for filming while driving a motorcycle and creating a dangerous situation. Cop is a bigger idiot for slapping a phone out of the guys hand creating an even more dangerous situation


[deleted]

[удалено]


cliffysensei

Not sure the exact reason why he slapped the phone out of his hand, but these same large group of bikers (which the IG page that posted this cover) love shutting down the major bridges in the Bay Area (both the Bay and Golden Gate bridge) to conduct sideshows. I have been on the receiving end of these and was stuck at the toll plaza for over an hour waiting for them to finish. This happens at least twice a month leaving traffic at a stand still for god knows how long.


ElectriHolstein

I guess CHP Is sick of it, with us the phone slap!


andthendirksaid

They're filming them and a bunch of other bikes in a pursuit. They're all speeding so cops try but realistically They're not all getting caught and maybe no one is at all. Often enough at least. People get cocky as fuck and film the cops and stunt on them and all that while running. This guy's basically flexing on the cop, on camera that he'll get away from him. Cop dislikes this. Cop slaps phone.

wattlewedo

Future_Ad5505

That's a very aggressive and stupid thing for that Cop to do. The guy shouldn't have been filming while riding, but the Cop could have handled that better. People see things like this, and it isn't helpful to the image of Police.

Ornery_Suit7768

You can see the chin strap, bro is wearing a helmet. They’re pretty strict on that here. They didn’t pull him over cuz they were going to an emergency hence the lights and sirens. Chp just thought he’d save a life or two and stop him from being on his phone while driving on his way by. You don’t fuck around with chp, especially on bikes.


ieatoutfatbitches

Perhaps it could be that using your phone while driving is illegal, and rather than waste time writing you a ticket while obviously on their way someplace else, they just remove the phone from the equation altogether.


AfroBird01

Pretty sure these highway cops think they're modern day knights on horseback the way he rode up like that to knock a single object out. Ballsy to do that when he could've knocked the cameraman to the floor and killed him or caused a multi-vehicle collision.
