Video: Cops Set Up Trap to Generate Revenue, er…Catch Dangerous Criminals

Right here is where “public safety” meets revenue generation.

Are you familiar with the term “highway robbery”? Check out what the cops are doing in this short video:


Brilliant, no? They apparently get some guy (probably undercover cop by the way he keeps seemingly looking for a signal) to hold up traffic by crossing the street at this crosswalk 100 times, then a patrol car waiting in the wings pulls over the people who don’t stop when this man repeatedly crosses the street over and over.

He just walks right out in front of traffic multiple times here, not even waiting for a break in traffic flow or looking both ways first like our mommas taught us.

What about this is “protecting and serving,” by the way? This is more like a criminal racket set up to extort money from people who are otherwise minding their own business just trying to get where they’re going on an American street.

  1. There is way too much of it that is pure revenue generation. This looks like a perfect example. When do they quit trying and simply start writing you up for whatever they like, whenever they like it?
