'And that's what happens when they know you're recording': Cop caught by trucker for speeding

( 'And that's what happens when they know you're recording': Cop caught by trucker for speeding and talking on his cell phone changes his tune when he sees camera ) A trucker was driving through Illinois last week when he says a police officer sped past him going way above the speed limit - while chatting on his cellphone.

Brian Miner decided to take the law into his own hands and honked his horn repeatedly, prompting the officer to pull over.

In a video posted to YouTube by Miner, the officer undergoes an amazing transformation once he realizes he's being filmed.None too pleased at being pulled over by Miner, the officer is confrontational and resorts to outright lies when Miner questions him on his actions. 'You pulled me over with your horn, I don't know what that was about,' says the officer. 'Because you were speeding and had your cellphone in your hand,' replies Miner. 'Police officers can actually use technology when we're driving,' the officer responds, stretching the truth somewhat. 'Oh, so you guys are above the law?' the trucker asks. The officer asks Miner for his license and the officer questions him on how fast he was driving. 'You passed me! Are you above the speed limit as well?' says Miner, adding that the officer was going well above 70mph, the speed limit.

The important evidence.... would then be available regardless of the location

Which would then be discovered and raided by an MRAP full of SWAT team members "Because a trusted informant told us there were [fill in the blanks] in this house."

Several years ago there was a thread on one of the car/truck forums I am on asking about buying an old police car as a back-up vehicle.

One guy chimed in about buying an old detectives car that still had the spotlights and antennas on it and dark tint. He said he would get on the interstate and hit the cruise at 100mph and just get the secret wave as he passed the radar.
