Tyreek Hill arrested for traffic violation by stadium in Miami on gameday (Hill played) [Reckless driving & seatbelt charges dismissed]

If you think the cop had a chance to ask for those, you watched a different video than me. Hill had refused to answer all questions up to that point and was in fact ignoring the officer other than to give the officer instructions.

He had the opportunity to asked for those items when he chose to berate the driver about their seatbelt.

Hill terminates the interaction at 1:22 by instructing the officer to "Do what you got to do." then rolls up his window. The officer instructs Hill to roll the window back down and knocks on the window multiple times. Hill eventually cracks the window and instructs the officer: "Don't tell me what..." and things escalate from there.

:dedhrse:

How is the officer supposed to do what he has to do when Hill has instructed the officer not to initiate interaction by knocking on the window, closes his window, and then refuses to re-open it?

The cop is under no obligation to adhere to the drivers "demands". The driver can be the biggest butt crevasse as long as his antics are not physical, there is no reason for the cop to address the driver's verbal tantrum. The cop's failure here is that he didn't proceed with the reasoning behind the stop. DO YOUR JOB! Then we can proceed with, what should have been, a routine traffic stop.

MarCowMar said
If you listen to the tone of the officer around 1:16 he's in a polite, conversational mode, but perhaps wasn't someone who follows football and understands that Hill would expect deference. He states that he had to knock to let Hill know he was there.

Meh.

MarCowMar said
Hill was unsatisfied with that and tried to assert dominance through his window games--

They showed him! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAAAY!!!!!!!

MarCowMar said
Drew will be spending a lot of time soothing Hill's ego and gently dissuading him from pursuing anything legally.

And Miami-Dade will be doing the same for this officer!
