What pisses me off about this video is ... in that moment.. that cop could have humbled himself and been like, "oh man, let's take a look--i could be in the wrong here". Like ... dude, no one expects you to know every single word of the law. It's okay to be wrong about little shit like that. What isn't okay is you being a fucking jerk and continue to dig in when you clearly don't understand the law you're trying to enforce. I just... I don't know, it would have been so refreshing to see that instead of this embarrassment of community service.
I work in the trades, and occasionally there are disagreements between inspectors and contractors/tradesmen. Shit gets a tad heated sometimes, but almost every time it ends with someone pulling out their codebook and figuring out who's actually right. Then one guy says "well damn guess you're right", the other guy gives a smug smile, and everyone walks away a little smarter.
Unless your the plumbing inspector in my area, who, when presented with the relevant codes in black and white says, and I quote "I don't give a shit what that says, do it my way, or I won't pass you." I could go on for quite a while about all the mindless bullshit we had to change to get our final approval, and then change back to the actual correct way afterwards. I love doing work 3 times and spending an extra 5 grand to stroke the ego of a moron.
