I have never been to Texas, but anyone watching that video would think the cop was arrogant. You think Texans are happy with their LEOs, but how do you know that? Texans are most likely anti authority, which does not fit in with your perception.
I won’t answer a cops question that i think is intrusive, at the most I would lie.
Now, go out and ticket people for minor things, and see how far your department gets love and approval from the public.
Well, I am anyone who watched the video, and I don’t think he was arrogant.
I think she was arrogant.
Because I’m a born in bred Texan, which is how I know. Yes, we, Texans hate illegal authority, but we also believe in respect for legal authority. This cop was exercising the legal authority granted to him by Texas and the lady thought she was privileged and didn’t need to abide by TX laws. We will side with the cop in that instance every time since he did NOT violate our laws and she did. We hate people that think they can come to Texas and defy our laws and are so arrogant that they believe they can be disrespectful to everyone here.
You don’t have to answer or you can lie, but any consequences to your decision are your own fault.
