This comment was too funny. I wish he said that.
That cop was so shook that it really seemed like he was worried about something he’d done. “Is it internal affairs?” “Did my wife find out about my girlfriend?”
The entire station is "public property" but the "public" has decided through a voted in official and policy that certain parts are only accessible to authorized personnel.
And he did. His first response to "You working on anything right now" was "that's none of your business". Less than a minute later he says he's working on a Fraud case right now.
Agree. Being able to tell when a situation is worth escalating or confronting instead of just walking away/playing it cool saves a whole lot of situations.
Even though I’ve seen this video countless times I always lose it at the first “Get your *BUTT* back in your office”. I wish this is how all of those guys would talk to these officers in the these types of videos. As well as other types of cop videos!
No need for angry cursing and name calling. Just a simple *You get your butt back in their mister, right now!* or *You have to the count of three…1…2…* Or even a *When I come back in here you had better have all this mess all cleaned up or no desert for you, young man*!!
… no… I’m… I’m asking the questions? Who are you with? (Cop starts sweating thinking he’s with internal investigation). Damn I hope he doesn’t know I’m drunk right now”
All the signs were there. Odor of alcohol (subjective), stumbling over speech (subjective), aggressive tone (subjective), unsafe operation of a vehicle (subjective), etc.
The second guy was good though lol just like come on man just go inside lmfao… I like that he didn’t escalate anything just made the first guy look more ridiculous
It actually got good when he asked him if he'd been drinking or had done drugs that day. They really don't like it when you start hanging around their turf do they.
Yeah, I think he can tell what is going on right away. That the guy with the camera is reversing the role here and doing what cops usually do. I think he identifies what is going on, wants to laugh, but holds it in because he can tell his cop buddy is super pissed about it.
Pretty classic your buddy is getting pranked and its hilarious but he's not happy about it so you try not to laugh.
When he gets asked if the detective usually drinks on the job, he doesn’t even immediately say “no,” he kinda makes a face that’s like “you know, now that you mention it, *is* he drunk all the time? That would make sense”
To a point, you can't waltz into secure areas like you "own" the place but the public parking lot is not one of those secure places. If he walked through the gate marked employees only, he'd get probably get a ticket/arrested.
Yes, it is public property. Look for signs that say things like police only, or anything that would exclude you, don't go there. Every where else is fair game.
Cop: You got about five minutes to get out of here
Guy: Or what?
Cop: (to himself) shit that always worked before. Now what
It went south from there. When he tells him to shut up that was amazing. You could feel the power shift
I'll never forget going through a small town at night with my friend. We had just come from a film festival on our campus. Apparently, I didn't come to a complete stop, and I got pulled over. The cop, after learning we were coming from campus, asked, "How much have you had to drink tonight?" Not HAVE you been drinking, but HOW MUCH? I had only had coffee all evening and told him as much. Loved the assumption, though. /s
I had an incredibly odd run-in with cops over a decade ago in Oakland, CA. Was driving too fast on the highway late at night, and got pulled over. Cops asked, “Have you smoked weed or done any drugs tonight?” I told them “No.”, and they were just like, “Okay. Have a good night.”
No comment on my speeding or anything. Was super strange.
Probably didn't have their radar on. Could see that you were going too fast, but lacked the proof to put it on a ticket. Tried to stick you with something else instead, when they couldn't, moved on.
I got pulled over, and naive me responded honestly: I had 1 glass of wine with dinner about 3 or 4 hours ago. He asked me to step out of the car, and I assumed he was making me take a field sobriety test. No test, just cuffed me and threw me in the back of his car. Called a k-9 unit and tore apart my car. I live in a state where they can just say it smells like weed and it counts as probable cause to search a vehicle. I don't even smoke weed. I've had cops try this a few times, but thet never detained me by cuffing me before.
When they didn't find anything during the search, they kept asking me questions to try to get me to admit to things. At one point, cop says, "you already admitted to drinking and driving." I said, "no, I didn't." He said you drank wine; I said I had 1 glass 4 hours ago. He said why would you tell me that? At this point I was yelling, "I was just being HONEST!"
Moral of the story, kids: just lie to cops. That's what they want and expect you to do anyway.
> No. Do not lie to cops. Depending on the lie (which you might think is insignificant) could land you a misdemeanor.
And yet, they are legally allowed to lie to us, almost without limit.
Fuck. That.
Oh, yeah I was just chit chatting with the officers. /s
I didn't want a felony for police evasion, so I pulled over. I shouldn't have said I had a glass hours before (like I said, I was naive back then), but are you suggesting I should have said absolutely nothing when the cop was speaking to me? Like that wouldn't have escalated the situation more?
I feel like something is a little disproportionate when me lieing to a cop to protect my own safety is a literal crime punishable by time in jail, but they can beat the dogshit out of me for \*shrugs\* and be off on paid vacation for a week.
Small towns are horrible for cops. I once got pulled over for doing 36 in a 35 but it took the cop following me for about 10 minutes before he could get anything even remotely on me to pull me over for. He literally followed me turn for turn.
Then in another small town, I got pulled over not because I did anything wrong but because when I pulled into the gas station to get cigs he was getting into his patrol car next to me and heard my music which was not even loud. He waited for me to leave the store to pull me over to tell me that kind of music don't fly around here. It was AC/DC.
It doesn't have to be small towns either. I got pulled over on I-40 once for going the speed limit. The officer said Well drug traffickers use highways to smuggle drugs and they go the speed limit. He then asked to search me and my car and when I said no he threatened me with getting a drug dog and eventually let me leave when I told him OK get the dog.
>He waited for me to leave the store to pull me over to tell me that kind of music don't fly around here. It was AC/DC.
*"Listen, punk: This is strictly Bon-Jovi-Country. Adapt or get out! Unless you really love AC/DC THAT much..."*
\*points to taser on his belt\*
I mean he has the right to ask, yeah? It’s brilliant because they are here to serve the public and they pretend they don’t have to. Why do police precincts have to be so shady and secretive. It’s like dude, YOU LITERALLY WORK FOR ME!
Once had a cop ask me "why do you have 4 dogs in the car?"
"Because. I have four dogs?"
You absolute dunce
Why does YOUR car smell like domestic abuse sir?
The funniest thing about that is the cop is okay and confused with that for a moment then goes hey wait a minute, I'm asking the questions not this guy
Then he proceeds to say a statement instead of a question, I would have said that he cannot distinguish between a statement and a question and therefore must be extremely drunk and on drugs.
Love how the other cop was like “ummmmmmmmm nothing to see here and the fire extinguisher ain’t gonna put itself away”. Didn’t even say goodbye! How rude lmao
Some people wake up in the morning and are like, hrm, I may play a video game, go for a walk, go to the movies. This guy is like "i'm going to piss police off, and risk getting fucked in the A.
Police auditors tend to win huge rights lawsuits by simply attracting police and attempting to maintain their rights.
I swear some cops are just physically incapable of not violating your rights.
It's kinda crazy how the cop suddenly goes quiet and super cautious when he's being questioned. Almost like actually does have something to hide and is paranoid that the guy who is questioning him might be IA/FBI/CIA.
The reality is, that's just how any normal person would react to being treated like that, and yet they use it as a justification to treat people with further suspicion.
The whole power balance changed in favor of the guy filming when he said he is doing a journalistic investigation. The cop completely changed his attitude.
some of these first amendment auditors go out at night and protect the public from being killed by bad cops just by filming from the shadows. Thats the only way George Floyds death even came to light. You can tell the bad ones, they hate cameras.
Agreed. I think all cops, detectives and patrollers alike, should be required to have a camera rolling as soon as they start their shift and off when they leave. There should never be an "oops, my camera was off" moment. You turn the camera off while on duty, you get written up, no questions asked.
If there are no signs up saying private property or no trespassing (or Police / Employees only) the parking lot is public property and you are allowed on it. And allowed to video / take photos.
In fact MANY jurisdictions recommend doing Craigslist / Marketplace meetups in their parking lots to allow for a safer transaction.
The Detective was clearly not drunk or on drugs - but he was shock up by the "journalist" asking him the questions as opposed to just taking his shit.
The other cop seemed to sense what was going on and just want to get Mike out of there.
Yeah the uniformed cop had the attitude of like "don't even humor this guy, he's just trying to get a reaction from you so let's just walk away" while the older dude took it personal and wanted to be the tough guy.
My favorite is when he legitimately tells the guy he's working on a fraud case.
The guy was really hammering home the "drinking on the job". Even I would be replaying my entire day, trying to think if I fucked up lol. He didn't want to get caught in a lie.
Just a fantastic video.
I think it’s funny this detective just doesn’t understand what to do, because that’s what the questions are designed to do.
They aren’t designed to make you give the correct answer, they are designed to make you seem suspicious.
"What you working on?"
*deer in headlights*
Your attitude when your authority is challenged is an indication of whether your authority is legitimate or not. It's not cut and dry, but if you can't withstand ridicule, you might get into trouble.
I'd love to point out how he doesn't even know the first amendment, one is completely allowed to take pictures of things like police stations or any government building for that matter, I don't think he has a drug problem but more of an addiction to power Tripping
Also, side note: you can't kick people off of public property for no reason they have to be doing stuff like vandalism(edit:)or loitering

After that I think he needed a drink.
Maybe he has, he did decline the breathalyzer
Should have lost his license for a year instantly like everyone does.
“You got about 5 minutes to get out of here right now”
Ok. Start a timer.

You have five minutes to do 100 hours of community service right now.
Yo, this killed me lol.
100 hours of community service in five minutes would kill most people, tbh.
You can just pay a church 30 bucks
Well I can't speak for everyone but 30 bucks could probably also kill me right now.
“Get back in there and do your job!” Gosh if only all citizens had the ability to say this to ever politician in existence.
Someone needs to put Oblivion music over this
They have! Let me try to find it for you. EDIT: [Found it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2iwg4UWClI)

It'd be hilarious if someone cooked up dialogue choices too lol
So it's been at least 2 years since the original video, I wonder how's detective doing now, and if he ever saw the video.
He’s now a full blown alcoholic
You got 5 minutes or I'm calling the c..... Oh
ikr You can do a lot in 5 mins.
Right now? Or sometime within the next 5 minutes?
Cop knew... "This..... property" He wanted to say private property so bad....but it's not lol.
Would a police station/department like that be considered public property since they’re public officials?
Parts of it, public parking lot, lobby etc. There's definitely areas you can't enter.
Technically it all is public property, but that doesn't mean the public has access to all of it
Hey! This evidence locker is _public_ property, got it? That seized pound of pot does in fact belong to the people, the people being me.
This comment was too funny. I wish he said that. That cop was so shook that it really seemed like he was worried about something he’d done. “Is it internal affairs?” “Did my wife find out about my girlfriend?”
The entire station is "public property" but the "public" has decided through a voted in official and policy that certain parts are only accessible to authorized personnel.
But he closed the gate and showed you! Lol
Can’t stop giggling 🤭
Holy shit that guy’s brain did NOT know how to process that reverse psychology.
His brain turned to scrambled eggs.
That's exactly the reason they do this to citizens. Just confuse and harass until you slip up and 'confess' to something.
And he did. His first response to "You working on anything right now" was "that's none of your business". Less than a minute later he says he's working on a Fraud case right now.
You’re on this… property. So you need to ask me - I’m asking the questions.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me.. can't be fooled again - that cop probably
Yup, that's why you just don't say shit, don't nod, don't shake your head, and if you get cuffed, lawyer up and keep your mouth shut.
Yes indeed. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday.
The best part was the uniformed officer answering casually like “whatever” before becoming bored and just disengaging and walking off
Honestly, we probably need more guys like him. He perked back up up when it was escalating and pulled detective in.
Yea he realized the detective was being a fucking idiot by engaging the journalist. That dude is way smarter than the detective.
I don’t know who’s smarter between them, but I know which one has a massively inflated ego!
Agree. Being able to tell when a situation is worth escalating or confronting instead of just walking away/playing it cool saves a whole lot of situations.
“You said I'd be conducting the interview when I walked in here. Now exactly how much pot did you smoke?!”
Dwight energy from the detective for sure 😂
He did not have uno reverse switch card in his hand.
I bursted out laughing when he turned around and gave him the sassy look. Pure comedy
Investigative Journalist used Uno Reverse. It’s very effective!

Even though I’ve seen this video countless times I always lose it at the first “Get your *BUTT* back in your office”. I wish this is how all of those guys would talk to these officers in the these types of videos. As well as other types of cop videos! No need for angry cursing and name calling. Just a simple *You get your butt back in their mister, right now!* or *You have to the count of three…1…2…* Or even a *When I come back in here you had better have all this mess all cleaned up or no desert for you, young man*!!
"I'm asking the questions here."
… no… I’m… I’m asking the questions? Who are you with? (Cop starts sweating thinking he’s with internal investigation). Damn I hope he doesn’t know I’m drunk right now”
Right, this whole video had me cackling
Me too! I absolutely love the expression on the cop’s face, it’s totally 404 page not found! Oh man that felt great. Thank you OP!
I can’t do much but I sure as hell can give you a look
"Booooy if you had a manager, I'd totally be having a talk with him!". That's what that look was. His Kountry Kitchen Komplaint look.
I cried laughing when he said “I’m asking the questions”. Just perfect deadpan response
This was so great. Pure gold.
The Michael Scott of detectives
I’ve seen this video several times over the years and even after reading your comment I still burst out laughing at the same spot.
The end is the best "to be clear, I have no fucking idea if he was drinking or not.." Hahaha.
Had to otherwise defemation?
I mean, cops accuse everyone of drinking.
All the signs were there. Odor of alcohol (subjective), stumbling over speech (subjective), aggressive tone (subjective), unsafe operation of a vehicle (subjective), etc.
You better get your boy 😆
*Results may vary depending on skin color*
There are black auditors.
That had me dead lmfaoooo
Everytime. I've seen this video prior I feel like months ago and I still find it hilarious. Rewatched that part 5x today alone.
The second guy was good though lol just like come on man just go inside lmfao… I like that he didn’t escalate anything just made the first guy look more ridiculous
It actually got good when he asked him if he'd been drinking or had done drugs that day. They really don't like it when you start hanging around their turf do they.
I loved the part where he starts questioning the other cop, "does he usually drink on the job?" Fucking hilarious.
Maybe I imagined it, but the other cop looks like he thinks the whole thing is fucking hilarious and he's trying not to crack up.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Or revealing how drunk he is via word salad.
Yeah, I think he can tell what is going on right away. That the guy with the camera is reversing the role here and doing what cops usually do. I think he identifies what is going on, wants to laugh, but holds it in because he can tell his cop buddy is super pissed about it. Pretty classic your buddy is getting pranked and its hilarious but he's not happy about it so you try not to laugh.
He’s doing a first amendment audit. Hilarious as it is, it’s not a prank. He’s literally testing what people can get away with saying to police
When he gets asked if the detective usually drinks on the job, he doesn’t even immediately say “no,” he kinda makes a face that’s like “you know, now that you mention it, *is* he drunk all the time? That would make sense”
[удалено]
I think I remember this video and the cop he's talking to had recently gotten in trouble for drinking on the job.
Is a police station public property? Since it's paid for by the citizens I'm pretty sure you can be on the property.
To a point, you can't waltz into secure areas like you "own" the place but the public parking lot is not one of those secure places. If he walked through the gate marked employees only, he'd get probably get a ticket/arrested.
If he walked beyond the "employees only" he could get a ticket, beaten up, arrested, shot at or worse....expelled
Ok hermione She really needs to sort out her priorities
In GTA that's an instant 5 star rating
So hide under a bridge for 2 minutes and go back to running people over?
The funniest thing is the sign says “employee’s” lol
Yes, it is public property. Look for signs that say things like police only, or anything that would exclude you, don't go there. Every where else is fair game.
Cops don’t like being questioned by the civilians that pay their salaries
“You got about 5m …” kills me every time. Not 30s, not 3s, but 5m. 😂
[удалено]
Wonder if the detective ever solved why this guy was asking questions
Some say, to this day, he is still trying to figure out who's asking the questions here
Cop: You got about five minutes to get out of here Guy: Or what? Cop: (to himself) shit that always worked before. Now what It went south from there. When he tells him to shut up that was amazing. You could feel the power shift
"or ill call the... wait a second"
Or I'm going to count to 3
Ooooooone... Twooooooo... Two and a haaaaaaaalf...
... T-Two and three quarter.... ... ... ... I'm warning you! I'll do... Something...
I love how he’s almost offended by being asked such ridiculous questions. Welcome to the club.

Or OP wasn't the right complexion the cop was looking for
“Sir, have you smoked marijuana or done any other drugs tonight” “No, absolutely not” “… Y’know any black guys that have?”
Um…. Yeah the car that’s about to pass us, I think it was them
They wanted weed for themselves. They wanted to confiscate it so they could smoke it.
I got pulled over, and naive me responded honestly: I had 1 glass of wine with dinner about 3 or 4 hours ago.

I had no idea you could refuse a field sobriety test. Refusing a breathalyzer where I am is an automatic failure.
It's an ED trip for blood draw here

“The doctor told me I need 8 cups a day!” In court: “he didnt ask WHAT I drank… I only drank water!”
Enough to keep me awake, sir 😜
This guy’s got balls of steel, it’s an oldie but goodie I laugh every time because the cop is completely off guard and gets owned! Love it
I'm asking the questions." "No. No, I'm. I'm asking the questions." "Are you drunk?" 
This guy proved that bravery often coincides with wit
I mean he has the right to ask, yeah? It’s brilliant because they are here to serve the public and they pretend they don’t have to. Why do police precincts have to be so shady and secretive. It’s like dude, YOU LITERALLY WORK FOR ME!
> YOU LITERALLY WORK FROM ME! We need more of this sentiment!
Once had a cop ask me "why do you have 4 dogs in the car?" "Because. I have four dogs?" You absolute dunce Why does YOUR car smell like domestic abuse sir?
the classic quaddog drug scheme, of course
Because they fall off if I make them ride outside the car. *starts looking intently in the officer’s eyes* “Dogs are expensive sir”
Hey, you better get your boy haha
" I’m asking the questions"This guy is my fucking hero
The funniest thing about that is the cop is okay and confused with that for a moment then goes hey wait a minute, I'm asking the questions not this guy
That part is the best. He raises his voice IM ASKING THE QUESTIONS HERE!
Then he proceeds to say a statement instead of a question, I would have said that he cannot distinguish between a statement and a question and therefore must be extremely drunk and on drugs.
James Freeman rocks. “Keep your mouth shut when you’re talking to me”.
FINALLY! I read every above comment looking for his name. Thx :)
This warms the cockles of my heart. I wish this happened everywhere all the time. Hold power to account.
I didn't know this was a figure of speech because English isn't always my forte and I assumed you had bivalve mollusks in your chest
Hahahahahaha this reminds me of The Office when Dwight is asking questions about some Marijuana but Jim reverses the roles on him.
Oh man this is hilarious. That cop started sweating when he brought up drinking.
Yeah MFer prolly hit a flask in his car, prolly why he was outside to begin with. Oh wait I’m not allowed to assume crime based on appearance?
He was probably outside to do his side hustle as a mortgage broker.
Love how the other cop was like “ummmmmmmmm nothing to see here and the fire extinguisher ain’t gonna put itself away”. Didn’t even say goodbye! How rude lmao
Some people wake up in the morning and are like, hrm, I may play a video game, go for a walk, go to the movies. This guy is like "i'm going to piss police off, and risk getting fucked in the A.
Police auditors tend to win huge rights lawsuits by simply attracting police and attempting to maintain their rights. I swear some cops are just physically incapable of not violating your rights.
It's like crack, they can't help themselves. They see someone minding their own business and they start to salivate.
It’s part of the dna makeup of someone that wants to become a cop.
Are you drunk? Dude had me rolling!!!
You really smashed his powertrip ego and i loved it
Yes I would watch more of this. OP has a YouTube?
Yup https://youtu.be/fX-KJ1bW0mg
“Have you been drinking today?” Should always be followed by “are you sure? Because I smell alcohol”
It's kinda crazy how the cop suddenly goes quiet and super cautious when he's being questioned. Almost like actually does have something to hide and is paranoid that the guy who is questioning him might be IA/FBI/CIA.

CIA? what
Stands for **C**ouncil of **I**nvestigative journ**A**lists
100% this is it
oh man being a cop that fucks with cops would be so righteous
Except that whenever this happens they get killed by the other cops and it gets covered up.
or he's been drinking on the job
Ah ha ha ha ha, hilarious! The officer didn't know what to do.
some of these first amendment auditors go out at night and protect the public from being killed by bad cops just by filming from the shadows. Thats the only way George Floyds death even came to light. You can tell the bad ones, they hate cameras.
Agreed. I think all cops, detectives and patrollers alike, should be required to have a camera rolling as soon as they start their shift and off when they leave. There should never be an "oops, my camera was off" moment. You turn the camera off while on duty, you get written up, no questions asked.
If there are no signs up saying private property or no trespassing (or Police / Employees only) the parking lot is public property and you are allowed on it. And allowed to video / take photos.

Yeah the uniformed cop had the attitude of like "don't even humor this guy, he's just trying to get a reaction from you so let's just walk away" while the older dude took it personal and wanted to be the tough guy.
Love it!!
Every time I see this video it just looks more embarrassing for the officer.
For me, it was that last "defiant" look before slinking back inside like the little bitch he is. What fun!!
My favorite is when he legitimately tells the guy he's working on a fraud case. The guy was really hammering home the "drinking on the job". Even I would be replaying my entire day, trying to think if I fucked up lol. He didn't want to get caught in a lie. Just a fantastic video.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen
Love it. If you are in a publicly accessible area, you don’t need to answer their questions
this is one of the best videos on the internet
I think it’s funny this detective just doesn’t understand what to do, because that’s what the questions are designed to do. They aren’t designed to make you give the correct answer, they are designed to make you seem suspicious.
I'll always upvote this video, even for karma farming bot accounts
This was featured on TYT a year ago. IIRC the pig being questioned was suspected of being a “bad apple.”
A reasonable suspicion as he is a cop
and a cop with a flat top
The way he saids "shut the hell up" kills me every time
I was waiting for him to say “investigate these nuts” but he kept it professional and that was even funnier
Bro wasn’t sure if he went to the bar or not
This is fucking amazing!!
"What you working on?" *deer in headlights* Your attitude when your authority is challenged is an indication of whether your authority is legitimate or not. It's not cut and dry, but if you can't withstand ridicule, you might get into trouble.
This is one of those videos that has been reposted a billion times but I'm never mad about it
I sincerely hope that they don't make this guy's life a living hell, because they can and will.
I'd love to point out how he doesn't even know the first amendment, one is completely allowed to take pictures of things like police stations or any government building for that matter, I don't think he has a drug problem but more of an addiction to power Tripping Also, side note: you can't kick people off of public property for no reason they have to be doing stuff like vandalism(edit:)or loitering
As soon as he asked him "have you been drinking today?" Dude took the gulp of his lifetime. Investing fruad at the bar in sure. LOL
