Many also come to Europe every year with some amazing cars. Not the best drivers and also nocited some dont respect the land esp in beatiful parts of Switzlerland where they will throw their trash out on the road.

I assume the copper was traffic police? Are they all this stupid and igorant of their own laws?

Must be a different culture in the US towards cops. In the UK if the cop pulls you over for an uncessary reason many drivers respond with angry abuse, I do. They are to serve the public not to get a power trip.

This chap must be incredibly stupid to think someone driving such a car would do it illegaly.

Oh man, showing anger to cops can never happen in the US and never ever advisable. I think the difference is largely due to all cops here carrying firearms and never having any hesitation in using it as well. Not just firearms but tasers or even just getting physical without hesitation. I think cops in UK are largely more well behaved which probably emboldens citizens when conversing with them.

It actually was not smart at all to be this mocking and attitudy with cops. That's what was rubbing this cop the wrong way. Lucky for this guy, this cop was an idiot who couldn't think of legal ways to harass him further. He may not be that lucky next time.

Never a good idea to act all condescending to cops, especially when you are in a foreign country.

Confidence is fine, over-confidence is foolhardy.

Credit to the cop and the American system. When the cop realized that the driver had not done anything illegal, he let him go. In many other countries a cop who felt disrespected would simply have arrested the driver and made up some reason for the arrest.

It is not as if Mideast money is anything to be proud of as it has been gifted by nature rather than created by labor and intelligence.

There was also nothing disrespectful in the way the driver behaved. It’s not his fault the police officer did not know the regulations. It’s also not his fault that the officer cut him short every time the driver tried to explain the situation to him.
A different approach from the officer should have been adopted. The ending tells you all you need to know about his professionalism.

The driver acted like a know it all jerk, the cop was doing his job. Yes cops don’t know all the law and you can’t expect them to be well versed in all the law. It’s not often they come across people driving in Imported vehicles with international license.
Also due to gun culture, being a police officer is a very dangerous job in the US. A routine traffic stop can turn into a deadly situation in seconds, so cops are on the edge here. It is not guranteed for a cop to go home alive after their shift.
This guy could have just kept it to the point and given his documents to the cop and let him figure it out with his supervisor.

Disagree totally, the driver was respectful at all times. The cop was not ignorant either, he seemed to have a good knowledge of the basic law, this was an unusual case which obviously traffic police don't deal with on a day to day basis. He was adopting a menacing demeanour because he was obviously pretty sure that the arab was driving the car without the required paperwork. Once he realised he was wrong he made a weak excuse and left with his ego throbbing painfully. The driver was quite within his rights to laugh at his attitude.

Yes credit to the American system, they adhere to their laws much better than corrupt south Asian ones do. Middle east money might have been gifted by nature or Baghwan if you like, but their resources have allowed them to provide fuel that drives the world's economies and give employment to many of the world's people.

The cop stopped him for what he though was improper registration, he probably thought this was a stolen car. You can see the cop was getting agitated when the driver would not hand him over his DL, reg and insurance immediately. This guy was fiddling with his stuff and the cop’s suspicion was raising. When asked for driving’s document yiu should hand them over immediately. If you have your registration in the glove box yiu should let the cop know that you are reaching in the glovebox to get the reg and if yiu are going to pull your insurance card on yiu really phone yiu let him know that’s what you are doing.
This guy was fiddling with his stuff with a smirk on his face. Cops in the US are not highly trained and they are not the sharpest tool in the box. They are not that well paid either so you don’t get smart people for the job. Also lot of experienced cops leave the job because of the stress involved in the job.
Imagine if an Indian or Pakistani acted like this guy to an police officer in an Arab.country. They will be in some torture chamber within minutes.

The guy was fiddling with his stuff because he was searching for his documents, the cop kept asking him for additional stuff while he was trying to locate them. I don't think he was smirking either, he was merely smiling while trying to explain politely to the cop his unusual situation. The cop was in contrast unnecessarily hostile, possibly because he didn't believe the arab was telling the truth and was being evasive, and he left in frustration after proving to be wrong.

South Asian police are corrupt, I was comparing them with the Americans not the middle east. In agreement with you I thought.

At no point did I praise middle eastern regimes, merely looked at the positive side of their wealth and resources. It may be unfortunate that they are sitting on such natural resources, but we don't decide who gets to exploit natural resources at their disposal so seems a bit churlish to be jealous of some and not others.

I’m amazed the driver continued to address the officer with ‘sir’ throughout the incident.
His behaviour was exemplary in comparison to the way the officer dealt with the situation

Are people here giving credit to American police just because of how cop was embarrassed for not knowing the law but left without apologizing after realizing he was wrong ?

There are countless video where ignorant American police officer have pulled over, used extreme force, killed innocents, all of that because the officers themselves did not understood the law.

 

[Pakistanian]

In all honesty, American police are still much better and more professional than police officers in the subcontinent or middle east. At least he didn't beat him up, lock him up for no reason, ask him to bribe him, or take his keys away and impound his car for no reason but yes compared to other developed countries this was unprofessional.

I suspect that some people who come from the shining subcontinent have an inferiority complex and can't relate to a brown man dealing coolly and confidently with an American cop's attempt to intimidate the driver. Either that or maybe they don't like Arabs in general, even when they are in the right.

It’s very different when you’re friends rom relative so become cops and hear about the stuff they have to put up with. The Arab kid was acting all passive aggressive and the cop realized his mistake and went on his way. Yes, the cop could have been more polite, but we don’t know what he had to deal with before this incident.

There is a study which shows US police kill approx 3 people a day. This doesn't happen in Pakistan or the UAE.

Go back to the LA riots where it was on video the cops beat the black man to death and were found not guilty in court. Police in the US seem to have too much power and sympathy.

That's cause it isn't reported in Pakistan or UAE, they aren't as developed as America that keep databases on that kind of stuff. I bet more than 3 people are killed by cops in Pakistan and India everyday, as for the UAE they have small population but there cops are much worse. LA Riots are once in a generation things, in Pakistan and India this kinda police brutality happens every month and most police officers go unpunished.

I think you don’t undersatand the concept of passive-aggressive.

There was nothing passive nor aggressive from the driver. He knew the law of the visited land better than the officer who was trained to upheld the law of his birth land.

Being a police officer is a very difficult job, especially a country like US, but that doesn’t give an excuse to be ignorant of the law that you’re suppose to upheld and preach. I have many friends who are working as police officer, they have to deal with lots of crap and some of that crap is due to ignorance of their colleagues, and this video is the perfect example.

As one of my friend who is an officer of law put it, an officer with a gun and a doctor with a knife have to be best at what they do as both of their ignorance can ruin or end a life.

You're just guessing. Pakistan is not North Korea, if people were gunned down in public it would be reported. You should read the report , the cops in the US are trigger happy. The LA riots didn't take place because a black man was beaten, this happens all the time or worse. The riots took place because even though the video was clear, the court did not find the police guilty so they are protected immorally by the system too.

I've been stopped by police in many countries and many times in Pakistan. No officer has ever talked in such an arrogant way as this cop was to the Arab driver. Police are employees of the public, they shouldn't have any power over you.

It isn't free money, they sell oil and get paid for that commodity. Fortunately the gulf arabs are diversifying their investments, with their small population and increasingly educated youth I think their future isn't as bleak as some think. They have so much money that it could cushion any economic recession for years.

Who are you kidding? Really. Who is Rao Anwar, and why is he an issue?

What happened in Sahiwal, where a family was going toattend a wedding and husband wife were shot and killed in front of their own little children while they begged to give up all their money just to save their lives?

Wasn't a senior police officer kidnapped in Islamabad and killed by "suspicious actors" who are suspected to working with "agencies?

Isn't there a home security video floating around on twitter, where a college professor's home was invaded by the cops at 4 am, simply because he gave a speech?

All of the above happened in the land of the pure, and in only in the last few months.

And its not just Pakistan. Sub-continent cops have total impunity to get away with all kinds of situations. Only difference is that the gun culture is different.

Shale in the Bakken used to be economic at $90 per barrel in 2012 and now it is profitable at less than $60 per barrel for eg.

So simple drop in oil prices doesnt matter. What matters to Saudis or the US producers more in stability in prices and we are seeing that this year with WT to hover between $50 and $60 worst case scenario

Solar is now much less expensive than oil. The world is going to move away from oil. In 10 to 15 years, WTI will at $10 per barrel (as it costs the Saudis about $5 go get it out of the ground). Saudis will keep making a profit on the oil they sell, but only 10% of what they make now. Expats from South Asia will no longer be able to get the high salaries they currently receive.

What resource is used is finally about costs. Yes, you are right you have been hearing about the death of oil for decades. Speaking of decades, price per watt of solar cells used to be $76 40 years ago, $10 20 years ago, and is currently $0.30. Oil in comparison is currently about $0.60 per watt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell#Declining_costs_and_exponential_growth

When the price of the competing source of power has fallen by 99.5% over 40 years, and keeps on falling, it doesn't a great understanding of economics to figure out that oil doesn't have much of a future.

The "mock" is not so obvious but its a subtle "inflection" which he cannot control.

If you were raised in "pitfalls of money" and were "rich as this guy" you would also naturally develop that "demeanor and tone unintentionally."

It happens because you expect everyone to be surprised at things you do, and I don't blame the tourist for it, as he is not doing it on purpose but out of habit.

No one has to be subservient and impose himself on the other. It is not a competition or a battle of egos. The Emirati guy should know that if he is going to zoom around in the U.S. in his Dubai registered car, he is bound to attract eyeballs. It appears that he was itching for a confrontation with the cops so that he can put it on camera.

The cop was simply doing his job.

Have you ever been pulled over by a cop in US?

I have seen people getting pulled over and given ticket for driving on Canadian license in bordering states with Canada, driving on Canadian license is totally legal with Canadian plate and registered car.

It doesn't take that much to find out about the law, takes 2 second to click and speak to someone who does.

It doesn't take that much to find out about the law, takes 2 second to click and speak to someone who does.

Imagine if this was in Pakistan, IK would have been blamed

You just threw in your 2 cents because it was Muslim, Arab, and if he was Pakistani, then we would have had received paragraphs after paragraphs.

He purposely states the opposite to everyone else to be controversial. It is quite sad that someone is after recognition on a forum.

No one has to be subservient and impose himself on the other. It is not a competition or a battle of egos. The Emirati guy should know that if he is going to zoom around in the U.S. in his Dubai registered car, he is bound to attract eyeballs. It appears that he was itching for a confrontation with the cops so that he can put it on camera.

The cop was simply doing his job.

The cop was "simply doing his job", and the arab was "simply answering questions" and providing the correct documents. I don't get why you have a problem with this guy driving his car legally, with all the necessary papers... also what makes you think he was zooming around? Don't you think he'd have been booked for speeding if that was the case? Your bias here is mystifying.

Posting the video on the internet is simply saying "hey, check me out, I am so rich that this dumb American cop can't comprehend my lifestyle".

At the other end of the spectrum, the much richer Bill Gates stands in line to get a burger

lol.

I do not know if you are intentionally trying to sound dumb or this is your another failed attempt to troll, whichever it is, it is quite pathetic.

Ever bothered to check out his Youtube page before you made insinuated comment?

He happens to be rich and Arab who like to drive around his car around the world, legally, like many other have done in the past.

If Bill Gates had to deal with ignorant cops standing in line, not his fault, fault of the system that they go through to become a cop, Bill Gates would probably laugh at him, too.

And, how do you know if the person driving the car wouldn't stand in line to buy his beef steak sandwich? Do you know him personally?

lol

You are back? Go away, shhhhhh...

You can ignore me but don’t act like a little wanna be American Cinderella.

There was also nothing disrespectful in the way the driver behaved. It’s not his fault the police officer did not know the regulations.

Do you have any idea what would happen to a brown person if they behaved in a similar way to any police office in any of the Middle Eastern places, including Dubai ?

Whataboutism isn't really of any value here, we can't vouch for eastern countries standards whatever they may be, we can only judge by what we see, and the driver was polite and compliant at all times in this case. Whatever you may think of his race or nationality, he was observant and respectful of American authority which is what was required on his trip to another country.

Emiratis are brown. The same thing would happen to brown people if they behaved the same way with a police officer in India/Bangladesh.

I am brown and my experience with cops in India has been uniformly pleasant.

The car driver was on the point and spoke with the utmost respect. A lot of Americans and of course my Pakistani/Indian brothers have no idea how cops should talk to a citizen with respect as that is something they have never seen in their countries so they may never understand.

Honestly that is good to hear, all cases should be judged according to their merit, that is to say we should look at the evidence rather than make our minds up because we have a dislike in general for Indians, Arabs or Bangladeshis.

Exactly.

There are few on this thread who got worked up because he is an Arab/Muslim.

The drive was on point and at no point he was being disrespectful to the cop.

Of course in India, like all other poor countries, cops tend to respect more if you are not poor. Having said that, my experience with cops in the Punjabi/Jat belt I grew up in was that they were blunt but generally fair.
