Update: Aiken was ticketed and arrested only for speeding. His court date was supposed to be in January but when he lawyered up, the case was postponed until September.
Never let it be said the Mississippi Highway Patrol doesn't hand out switches and coals for Christmas. Check out this arrest in Marshall County on Christmas Eve last year.
The "suspect" was a police officer for 12 years and is the son of a retired law enforcement officer. Aaron Aiken and his family were driving to his parents' home for some holiday celebration and apparently were in a wee bit of a hurry to get there. Enter Trooper Cameron Bell. Trooper Bell pulled the Cannonballer over and ticketed him for speeding. Felix didn't have his insurance papers but he the Trooper let that one slide.However, Mr. Andretti tossed the ticket into the glovebox and that is what angered Trooper Bell. He promptly put him in handcuffs amidst a great wailing and gnashing of teeth from Speed Racer's kin. Trooper Bell admitted in the cruiser he arrested McClure for throwing the ticket in the glove box. You can't make this up.

Just imagine if we talked to cops the way they talk to us...

So what's the issue here?
It's illegal to store a ticket away so you can find it later?
I guess I'll throw my next one on the ground outside of my car then...
Uhh 10:34 - Arrest someone from throwing a piece of paper in their own car?? Nothing was directed towards the trooper.
In a world of every cop needs body cameras why doesn't the "premier law enforcement agency" in Mississippi have them?? Because DPS would be over run with civil suits. They make shit up as they go. A lot of them (not all) are dumb as a box of rocks. They don't know the law.
Yet, because they protect the Gov and get state Reps and Senators out of speeding tickets they are basically untouchable with no real consequences. "We have a troubled trooper... ehh just move him to a different county."
I am pro-cop. Pro-law enforcement.
But MHP is a f’ing joke. A bunch of man-babies.
They do nothing but wait on local EMS and police to work scenes and harass citizens.
MHP need reform.
F them.

Well, how much is THIS "trooper" going to cost the taxpayers of Mississippi in a lawsuit settlement?
Notice the "trooper" advised dispatch he was enroute with a white male for speeding.....AFTER the citation was written. (CYOA)
I back the blue but some of these guys need to look to their left and right to know where the gunshots are coming from. These are self inflicted wounds. Every officer suffers when these recordings are released . You don’t gain respect this way you lose respect. The blue should begin by policing their own. If you can’t control your emotions what separates you from the criminals? If your only response is the badge then you should retire now. Lack of basic emotional control.
I received four tickets in New Orleans. I told the cop I wasn't going to pay them. He told me it was his job to write them. It was up to other people to collect the money. I never did pay them and the other people never called me.
MHP not being professional? I'm shocked!
These recent MHP abuses may start to endanger our honest local police/sheriff guys & gals.
As a 75 year old, white male, I've always had respect for LEO'S. My respect for them, local and state, diminishes each time I see such a report. I know it's difficult to find qualified officers nowadays with the pay they get, but this Rambo, in your face, type of attitude hurts all LE. As mentioned, the force should be policing their own to weed out this cancer within the ranks.
No Governor has had the nads to reign MHP in, and you can say that 50x for Tato Nut. Sad. Especially in a “conservative” state, wink, wink.
All day long for the last 40 years. It is a miracle the cam footage wasn’t lost due to a malfunction which happens all too often.
Did a memo not go out at MHP about the last case like this that was thrown out by the judge? At what point will taxpayers decide they don’t like defending these civil suits? It is time to clean house of any MHP leadership that worked under Marshall Fisher and Phil Bryant. Attitude adjustment is due.
Time to get cams inside and outside your car. MHP cannot be trusted. This is not a one time incident. This is MHP culture.
The Cams might ruin their starched shirts.
@240: stay out of Louisiana for the rest of your life.
The solution is not “throwing out the case”, the solution is getting rid of those unqualified, racist, unfair, undertrained, MHP, deputy sheriffs, local police, etc. There is a reason we rank 50th. In the nation in virtually every category. At least we rank a little higher than Puerto Rica, and Washington D. C.
And was I hearing what I thought I was hearing? Was Trooper Bull jibber-jabber small-talking on his cell phone?
Need to dismantle MHP and start over.
Bunch of roided up thugs !
My dad was a state trooper 25 years form the late 60's to the early 90's. They were different then. One reason...the academy was not "forced" to graduate a certain number of people from a group. You made the academy or you did not. This changed in the 80's. Not only do you now have these guys but no one wants to be a trooper any longer. in the 60's, 70's 80's 90's the applications would exceed 2000 for each class. You could cherry pick the best 200 and graduate the best 60-70. Now the applications barely exceed 250. For the first time ever you can now become a MHP Investigator from an outside police dept. You think this is to be nice to other LEO? no, this is because they don't have a reasonable pool with the MHP. You think this guy would be a good investigator?
I have 25 years in currently as Law Enforcement and the best of the best MHP is some of the most unprofessional officers I have ever seen. He speaks like he is still gang banging and has the attitude to go with it. Dude issue the citation and move on. Get the chip off your shoulder. We have enough public scrutiny as it is. We don't need assholes on the street. Taking someone to jail for speeding just to prove a point is a waste of time and resources.
I've lost so much respect for MHP.
This is humiliating and these roid rage idiots need to be leashed.
I’m impressed at the cop haters today. Y’all just follow the cry babies. This is why the younger generation is trash. No respect.
@8:58 - He let his ego get the best of him and arrested the guy for a misdemeanor infraction because he thought he was being disrespected. This has nothing to do with hating cops - it's about hating the lack of professionalism and the bullying that MHP instigates. They're fearmongers and they view themselves as elite. Former LEO here, btw.
There should be a requirement that troopers shall speak correct and intelligible English.
There should be a zero-tolerance no-steroid policy in place as well as the testing to back it up.
And they should have to get rid of those stupid hats, too.
As a LEO, I have worked with numerous troopers through the years. Most of them were great guys that have a great deal of respect for themselves and other LEOs. This current breed of MHP is different. He should've kept his attitude in check, written the ticket, and been on his way. If I had arrested everyone that I had written for speeding that was pissed off, I wouldn't have had time to do anything else! I suspect that the MHP has dropped its standards some due to lack of interest- like most other law enforcement agencies in Mississippi.
And I would trust this bunch any day over the KGB wannabes in the FBI.
Remember back in the fifties, sixties and early seventies when white MHP troopers would bully and disrespect black motorists? Ain't but one thing changed and that's race reversal.
16 yr LEO here,just imagine if the demographics were reversed. Good Lord the out cry on every media outlet!
Trooper I bet you finished bottom of your class & are trying to make a name for yourself. This is why DPS scrapes the bottom of the barrel to make sure some graduate.
These troopers are a joke. They whine about their salary so much that they start out at $50000 with no experience or education. Most of them make 69 to 100000 K. You see trooper cars in line at school dropping their kids off and running with the air on while they are in restaurants having donuts and coffee. It’s no longer about service. The narrative is always we have a trooper shortage….I think not. We have too many worthless troopers sucking off the tax payer.
So, the trooper arrested this guy for disrespecting him. I'm sure that happens all the time. What's going to hang the trooper up is we live now in a different time. The lords of the highway are now the chumps in court.
