0:00.0	What happens to cops who arrest other cops, VIPs, or just people who think they're above the law?
0:06.7	I policed in a smaller town, about 20,000 people tops, for eight years.
0:11.3	I was a military transplant. I didn't know anyone locally when I was hired.
0:15.3	Lots of good old boys and friends of friends that could get away with almost anything.
0:19.9	So he had a city councilwoman who
0:21.5	believed no parking signs on her street didn't pertain to her. One particular shift at about 2am, out of
0:27.5	sheer frustration, I guess, I found her truck parked in the street and decided to wake her up and
0:32.3	politely ask her to move it. Thank God for body cameras. Next morning at 9 a.m. I was awoken by a phone call from my superior
0:39.6	that a formal complaint had been filed for vulgar language and intimidation by same councilwoman.
0:45.3	Again, thank God for body cameras. My father had to arrest a retired NYPD officer for a DWI in

1:11.5	pensioned off. Thanks for a lifetime of pain, a drunk driver. He was back on the road before
1:16.6	I got out of traction. So yeah, I always had a thing against drunk drivers when I was a
1:20.9	policeman, found out pretty quick that cops make up a high percentage of offenders in the late
1:25.3	1970s, and I was pretty quickly ostracized after locking
1:28.6	a few of those guys up. The local head of the police department here gave himself a ticket
1:33.7	recently. He realized he'd parked in the loading zone. He'd just been telling his team how they had to
1:38.5	respect laws around parking and zoning. So props to him. I really respect the guy. He also tries to encourage the state government
1:46.0	not to increase police funding and instead spend more on social work, early intervention
