First, this occurred in Charleston, South Carolina. This self-proclaimed officer was cruising on the interstate in the left land, impeding traffic. When I had the chance, I passed him in the right lane, and flipped him a friendly bird as I went by. Evidently, this upset him immensely, because he sped up, began tailgating me, and then flipped his lights on. He was in an unmarked car - could have been his personal vehicle, for all I know - and had a female in the passenger seat. He pulled me over, not because he had reason to, but simply because he could - this is evident by the first comment he made when he approached my car (Are you being smart with me?! Really, dude?). I asked him repeatedly if I was being detained. When he confirmed I was not, I left, as I was legally free to do so. Our basic constitutional rights protect us from these types of unreasonable stops. And just so everyone is aware, after this occurred, I contacted every police/sheriffs department in my area, whether they had jurisdiction or not, and inquired about this officer, and not a single department knew who he was. Clearly, this idiot was off duty, outside of his jurisdiction, and pulled me over simply because he thought he could. While I have all the respect in the world for officers, and appreciate what they do for us on a daily basis, I will not tolerate abuse of power - and neither should you. via YouTube Capture #PoliceBrutality
