I hate cops more than anyone but it's not completely impossible that they call you a fucking idiot/curse you out and let you go/promise to go extra hard on you if it ever happens again

Likely only if it was empty road/area or that's known for basically having no activity. Driver straight up makes no excuses and says that was fucking stupid of them. "That was just plain stupid of me" only referring to the self, not the others in the car. They are the one behind the wheel...and everybody immediately has their IDs/nothing else wrong in car or on records.

Wouldn't count on it, though.

Always make sure you have a few phone numbers memorized. If you are the friend of someone getting arrested, have them memorize it if you can and also ask if you could know where they will be taken/how to find out.

So many people have become reliant on our phones just having numbers saved. Situations like this don't lead to clear thinking. You don't want to find you or a loved one in cuffs only to realize you DONT KNOW A NUMBER TO CALL or HOW/WHERE TO BAIL SOMEONE OUT

Obviously, don't do stupid shit...but people can get arrested for doing literally nothing so it's good to practice. Teach your kids to memorize a few numbers, seriously

Hating cops is the edgy internet thing to do. Like a similar percentage of teachers are borderline or actually abusing children, but hating on teachers isn’t as edgy.
