Nothing illustrates how the times are changing quite like an 11-year-old boy filming the police and shutting down a speed trap.
Mikey, an 11-year-old boy from New Hampshire made an awesome video this week showing him holding up a sign to warn motorists that there was a speed trap ahead. Within only a few minutes, this mini rights-flexing guru shuts down the officer and forces him to move on.
But holding the sign to warn motorists was only half of Mikey’s awesomeness. When the state trooper came back to intimidate the tike, Mikey held his own better than some adults would have done.
Without batting an eye, Mikey continued to film and refused to answer questions, thereby ending the stop before it even began. Below is that amazing video.

That kid has some big balls!
I guess there’s no doubt which bathroom he uses!!
Have a nice day asshole. Love it!
I always double flash oncoming cars if I see a cop sitting somewhere.
I am a ticket magnet. Cops can be such scary thugs. I speed everywhere, but I’m safe about it. I wouldn’t drive 90 in a school zone, but the I90,I87,I81, are all two lane highways with plenty of visibility and low traffic and I should be able to go as fast as I want if I don’t hit someone.
Badly played by the Trooper! A boy with a sign about a speed trap ahead (or oncoming motorists flashing their headlights) achieves the public safety objective just as effectively as a Trooper on location with a radar. People slow down (if only for a short time). I would’ve attempted to be friendly with the boy, not aggressive. Shoot, why not offer him $10 to come back tomorrow at lunch time so I can sit by the side of the road and eat my lunch without having to chase any speeders! ?

A time-honored tradition going back to the days of Alexander the Great (they waved torches back then). Heh. Too bad it’s going out of style these days. When I was a kid, EVERYONE used it.
My kind of kid!
I know where that is.
Honestly though, the trooper was respectful to the kid- “Why don’t you do that when I’m not around to slow people down?”
this is a great example of a human being. His folks taught him will. looking out for the well being of all is a great trait.
Only now, he will now have a folder created on him, by the cops, and the cops will tell the school to also start a folder.
this is how they treat folks who do not “respect authority”
Good rule when stopped by an officer of the law. Don’t run your mouth. (and carry a big lawyer!!)
