Some Things I Learned Watching Live PD.

Some Things I Learned Watching Live PD:

Make sure the lights on the rear of your vehicle are working at all times.

Wearing your seatbelt saves you from a traffic stop. Which can lead to further complications.

Can’t out run from the cops on foot or in a vehicle unless you have a motorcycle.

If you have to hold your pants up when you’re walking there’s no way you can outrun the cops on foot.

Running from the cops because you have a traffic warrant will only cost you more money and time, probably in jail.

Make sure your baby mamas don’t know about each other.

In spite of what your friends told you making a license plate with an inkjet printer doesn’t work in Missouri.

Everybody in Rhode Island is drunk and belligerent.

Most people in Texas are drunk and belligerent.

Many people in Montana are drunk and belligerent.

Don’t violate a restraining order.

If you pick up a hooker make sure you get your story straight before you get stopped.

Don’t frequent known drug areas.

Driving with an open alcoholic container in your car and having your kid hold it for you between sips will get you arrested.

Don’t spill bits of weed on your lap while you’re driving.

This isn’t my pants, shirt, jacket, or hat never works.

Don’t drive like a jerk.

Properly use your turn signals.

Cops win fights because they bring more people.

If a cop looks like he’s over 35 they have heard every story there is to hear. It’s all repetition to them.

Lieut. Danny Brown can smell marijuana from 300 feet even if you’re driving by in your car with the windows rolled up.

If you pick a fight with Deputy Garrow Brown you’re a confirmed idiot.

In Arizona driving more than 85 miles per hour will get you arrested.

In Nevada(my home state) getting drunk and belligerent in a casino will get you a trip to jail.

When you throw your alcoholic container out the window make sure you don’t hit the cop that is walking up to your vehicle with it.

Don’t be belligerent with the cop unless you need a place to sleep for the night.

When the actual sheriff from your county stops you it’s best not to call him names and insult his mother.

Can’t beat the dog’s nose, they will find the drugs.

If you have 18 illegals in the bed of your pickup truck don’t speed on the freeway.

Getting caught with your clothes off with an underage girl or boy will get you arrested.

Asking the cop “Do you know who I am?” never works the way you think it will.

If you hear a helicopter while you’re running from the cops just surrender.

Cops are mostly decent people. They will do their job and if you show them respect they may cut you a break. Face it you’re caught.

Shoplifting in today’s world will get your trip to the jail and a record - unless you are in California.

I live Live PD:

I love it when they bring out the K-9’s to chase down perps. These dogs LOVE their jobs.

It’s hilarious how frequently the perps say to the cops, “these are not my pants”, “that is not my car,” “that is not my weed,” and “I don’t know who that is (sitting in the back of my car)

My favorite red-cheeked Danny episode was when he stopped four young women in the parking lot of that demented blue door motel. The y had shoplifted a massive amount of clothing from Dillard’s, a store which always puts yellow “paid for” tags on merchandise. Danny knew about the store and yellow tag policy, and none of the merchandise in their car had yellow tags. He kept pulling out item after item of clothing, so much that the clothing pile became a mountain completely covering the hood of the car. The four women never cracked, never broke ranks, insisted that they hadn’t stolen anything but had just misplaced their receipts. LOL

I realize that shows like this and COPS etc. cherry pick their incidents. So we're not seeing the real pace of day-to-day work...

That said, I have learned one thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet. I've learned I do not have the patience to be a LEO. Somewhere along the line, maybe in the first couple of months, definitely within a year...about the 700th time somebody just lied stupidly to my face I'd haul off and bust their lip or something.

If you binge watch ID - Investigation Discovery Channel you will assume the entire Human Race is full of insane Murderers.

My wife watches this channel a LOT. Only thing I have learned is if the show ever camera pans and shows a knife block in the kitchen, someones getting stabbed.

I have watched probably EVERY episode of “COPS” “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do”.

Like Live Pd only not “live”. Still, It was “live” at the time. Great show! I believe it’s the longest running show in TV history.

WRONG!

NONE of it is “staged”. You don’t know what you are typing about!

It’s NOT your typical “reality show”. Apples Oranges.

It’a a “REAL” show.

NONE of it is staged. I’m a skeptic at heart, but I’ve seen EVERY episode and NONE of them are staged.

The ones (and there have been MANY) where police officers, perps, and victims have been SHOT, are not staged. The BLOOD is REAL. The HOLES are real. The BRAVERY is REAL!

Another one of my favorite episodes was when there was a vagrant trespassing in a parking lot. The cop went to check things out, went through the man’s back pack which held a very large cucumber, pornography, and a Natty Daddy. A Natty Daddy is a 28 ounce can of malt liquor. What a bizarre combination it things to be carrying around.

The vagrant was sent on his way, no reason to bust him. Dan Abrams seemed bewildered and asked Sticks Larson, “What is a Natty Daddy?” Sticks replied (slightly offended/amused) “Why would you as me that? Why would you think I’d know?” Except Sticks did know LOL.

How about “keeping your mouth shut”? People talk themselves into all kinds of trouble because they run their mouths.

set it on cruise control all the time

Good advice, even on 25 mph side streets. But in the morning rush get used to being honked at from behind, especially by those involved in law enforcement who don't worry about tickets. What's really annoying is when a cop tries to get you speeding by coming up too fast on your rear. The cruise control does not play along and says "hit me!".

I truck out Ethridge, TN. Sitting in that truck lot I have witnessed plenty of folks, bikers included, get pulled over on US43. There have been some bad accidents in that 45 zone. 10 over will result in a fine. The nice lady in the trucking company office can confirm that since her husband was the police chief, and is now the Lawrence Co. sheriff.

What did you learn from watching Live PD?

I learned to DVR the program so I can skip over all the "quick" breaks. I can watch the show in half the time.

“Do they cheery pick patrol area’s?”

That’s complicated. Legally? Yes. Lawsuits? I’m sure. Contracts with jurisdictions? A problem. A balance of urban and rural? Difficult, not as much “exciting” happens rurally although you’d be surprised. Getting jurisdictions all across the country (various time zones) and on and on. NOT EASY.

cherry pick patrol areas? Naturally, they would choose to embed with units in a more “busy” area, but they really cover ALL types of areas. The “hood”, to suburbia, to Bison and Black bears in Montana.

So “cherry picked”? I would say NOT! “Picked”, yes they were “chosen”.

Its my favorite show. I learned our country is farther down the path to irrelevance than I thought possible. I also learned that I cannot vote enough times to out weigh the damage done by the dolts I see on this show. Finally, I must be the only person who has their up to date drivers license with them while operating a vehicle.

“Everyone pulled over always lies to the police. Always.”

I don’t believe that’s true. But I do believe this: The police get lied to so often they believe everyone lies to them even when someone is telling the truth. Been there, done that, didn’t get a T-shirt.

In Illinois, you can get a ticket for doing the speed limit. If you are in the left lane on some highways doing the speed limit and everyone else is doing 20 mph over, you have to move over right. If you don’t, you can be pulled over and given a ticket.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! or get at least an hour recorded, that should be enough to get you through the whole 3 hours, commercial free.

What did you learn from watching Live PD?
*******************************
I learned that whenever I’m planning on ridin’ dirty, I first insure all my safety and signaling lights are functioning and make a point of not speeding or rolling through stop signs.
