I've been a licensed lawyer for 41 years.
I'm a former prosecutor and I've seen everything you can imagine.
And when it comes to stops and police stops and DUIs and NVDLs and failure to displays and expired tags and every aspect, every consideration, every iteration of the police and car stop, I am an expert!
And Tyreek Hill, you are wrong!
Wrong!
What you should do is pay whatever it is.
Enter a plea of no contest.
This is Florida.
Maybe have them withhold adjudication, keep the points off your record, go to a driving school, and you are going to publicly apologize to those police officers, make a handsome contribution to the boys club or girls club or the police athletic league or whatever the hell you want to call it, and thank God they didn't start shooting or club you or this thing could have gone fast or south so fast.
You can't believe it.
Now let me start off by telling you a couple of things.
I'm not a police apologist.
I don't like them.
I don't...
I'm not here to always side with them.
Sometimes they're jerks.
Sometimes...
Some...
Some should not have ever even gotten near a patrol car or a badge or a gun.
But for the most part, the vast, vast, vast majority, thank God they're there because when the you-know-what hits the fan, they're the ones you call.
Not Caitlin Collins, not Stephen A. Smith or Shannon Sharp or whoever the hell these people...
No!
You call a cop.
A cop.
Who just wants to make it to retirement and show up home every night.
And believe me, cops who go through crap, you cannot believe.
Do me a favor.
Do you know what my new favorite pastime is?
This is weird, but it's true.
I watch videos of Karens being arrested.
Demented people from all over the country.
People getting...
Charged with shoplifting at a Costco or a Walmart who all of a sudden start beating up on the police.
Or people who've had weapons.
People who've had guns.
People who are out of nowhere.
And the police officer is sort of so nice.
Hi, how are you?
License and registration.
Next thing you know, they're shooting.
You can't tell who's a nut and who's nice.
These cops have to take gloves all the time.
They gotta...
Stick their hands in the cars full of literal human ingesta and pizza boxes and syringes and fentanyl and God knows what.
They don't want to pull you over.
They don't want to touch you.
They don't want to get near you.
Because most of the time, you're crazy.
And you evince and evidence that craziness by immediately giving this guy a hard time.
Now remember Uncle Lenny telling you this one bit of advice.
Especially all you youngsters.
You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
You may be down the road.
You may be exonerated.
You may drop the charge.
You go into some kind of a diversion program.
Ha ha ha!
But you're going to spend the night in the pokey.
You're going to have a mug shot.
Because you didn't keep your mouth shut.
Because you had to be a tough guy.
Because you had to say, literally, bruh.
Literally, bruh.
Literally, bruh.
Not bro.
Bruh.
And literally.
Combinations thereof.
I was literally driving down the street, bruh.
Come on, bruh.
What are you doing, bruh?
Why are you stopping me?
And they keep repeating themselves over and over.
Don't you touch my window.
Don't you touch my window.
I don't like you.
Let me talk to your supervisor.
That's another one, too.
Let me talk to your supervisor.
What?
Let me talk to your supervisor.
How about talking to the mayor?
You want to talk to the mayor?
I'll get the governor on the line for you.
Who the hell are you?
They learn this.
Or you get these sovereign citizens.
I don't have any...
There's no requirement or necessity to have a license because I'm not in commercial.
What?
I'm not in commercial transit.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm a sovereign citizen.
What the hell does that mean?
I don't know.
You gotta put up with that garbage.
Then the chases.
I would be the worst cop.
Do you know when the...
And thank God for these vest cams.
Because at first...
People thought, this is going to be terrible.
This is going to be a real impediment to the police.
Wrong!
First of all, it's given me the most incredible entertainment you can imagine.
Also, it goes to show you what drools people are.
These people are just brutal.
And how the cops, I don't know how they not nightstick or flashlight people to smithereens.
Especially after a high-speed chase.
When your heart is in your throat and they're going through Neighborhoods and you're afraid some kid walking his dog may turn the corner.
I mean, it's horrible.
So here's the rules.
Uncle Lenny's rule.
Tyreek, pay attention to me.
Number one.
I'm going to repeat it.
You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
Okay?
Number one.
That's number one.
Number two.
To pull you over.
He just needs probable cause.
You know what the definition of that is?
He probably did it.
It means nothing.
It means nothing.
I saw you swerve.
You hesitated.
They're going to give you a reason!
And it's going to make sense!
No cop's going to say, I'm sorry, that does not justify.
What?
Because it's normally a weird kind of driving behavior that absolutely necessitates stopping you and finding out what the hell's going on.
Why'd you stop me?
Don't even ask!
Probable cause, you probably did it.
Whatever he says, or she says, that's it.
Number two.
Roll your window down.
I don't know how...
I'm not familiar with what their laws are regarding tinting, but if it's late at night, and I'm coming up to a car, and I can't see any...
I don't even know if there's people in the backseat.
Roll the windows down.
If I tell you to turn the car off, if I tell you to roll the windows down, if I tell you to put your hand on the steering wheel, do what I say, and you'll be on your way.
Next, do you have your license?
Registration and proof of insurance in a little folder.
I do.
Do me a favor, bruh.
Literally, bruh.
Don't have it on your phone.
Don't.
Especially if you're gassed.
Now, Uncle Lenny's not telling you how to drink and drive or get away with it.
But if you think you're out there and you're going, hang on a minute.
Sure, here's the minute.
I'm a joke.
Why is it?
Hang on.
I can't do this.
Can you get this for me?
I got Geico.
I got the app.
Is there an internet?
Hang on a minute.
Oh, my.
I'm losing.
You look like an idiot.
You're mumbling.
You're breathing all over me.
Oh, that's brilliant.
Especially when it's wintertime and the windows are up and you've been in there just exhaling like a distillery blew up.
And you're like, oh, this is beautiful.
This is PC.
It's probable cause.
You're going to, you're DUI, pal.
So do yourself a favor.
Make sure when you get done watching this, say, you know what, can I get a little folder?
They sell them on Amazon.
It's a little plastic thing that says, my stuff for my automobile.
And you just have it in there.
And you say, here you go, officer.
Be polite.
Yes, sir.
I wouldn't even ask, why are you stopping me?
Does it matter?
Does it matter?
They're probably going to tell you that.
The police officers are probably going to tell you why they stopped you.
They normally like to tell you why they stopped.
They do.
They're funny about that.
And when you hear this, you can say, Really nothing.
You can say, I'm sorry, or I see.
You don't have to respond.
You're not going to talk him out of it.
You're not going to convince him that maybe he's made a mistake.
You're not going to provide some statutory element that he is unaware of.
Maybe you know about failing to stay in a single lane.
Maybe you know that statute better than he does.
So just, you know, whatever.
Hands like this.
Yes, sir.
If he wants you to get out of the car, get out of the car.
If he wants you to roll down the window, roll down the window.
Now, I've got to tell you one thing, too.
I don't know where people have this idea that, you know, I have the right to remain silent.
Well, yeah, but if they ask you, who are you, you don't give them a driver's license, they don't know who you are, they'll take you down to the pokey, to the gray bar end, and they'll lock you up until they find out who you are.
So, you want to keep quiet?
Go ahead.
That's what the license of registration is all about.
Now sometimes it gets a little dicey.
Where are you coming from?
What are you doing?
What did you do tonight?
Have you been drinking all this stuff?
I'm not going into this whole business about Miranda.
But I've got to be honest, I've got some serious problems about you being asked all kinds of questions when you're not free to leave.
And that is Miranda.
Custody plus interrogation.
But I'll talk about that some other time.
You don't owe people volumes of information.
And believe me, the officer does not want to tussle with you.
Officer, officers.
He or she does not want to roll around with you.
He does not.
And if you do not get out of the car, he will do one of two things.
He or she.
I keep saying he, but he or she.
Number one, he will bust your window.
And just...
Or, once he gets you out, he can drag you out of your car.
Completely legit.
All caught.
On the camera.
Because you weren't paying attention.
Literally, bruh.
Hey, why are you stopping me, bruh?
Why are you stopping?
I'm going to call.
Can I call my mother?
That's my favorite.
I just want to call my mother.
Or, you see this.
He's talking to me on the phone, yeah.
He's pulling me over.
I don't know why.
I don't know.
Tap, tap, tap.
I'm busy.
So anyway, I was going down here.
I was on 275.
I said, I'm busy.
Oh!
Asking for it.
I don't understand.
Then Tyreek was saying, well, you know, they're joking about being arrested.
That's great.
But you know what they also said was, they said, if this had been somebody else, he didn't know who you were.
Now, was this cop who stopped him aggressive?
Yes!
Was he a bit of a jerk?
Could be.
He's a cop.
I don't know what they've been through before.
He's been nice to people, and they've taken advantage of him.
I don't know.
I don't want to be this police officer's friend, the one who's really commanded.
I don't want to know him, do you?
That's not his job.
You're an adult.
You're making millions and millions of dollars.
You're driving, what, a McLaren down the road?
Be happy.
Be lucky.
This is the greatest country in the world, bruh.
Just do yourself a favor.
Pull over.
Hand him whatever he wants.
And more often than not, you'll be on your way.
Yes, officer.
Thank you, officer.
It's not doing anything.
You're not...
What is this?
Exceeding or acquiescing to the apparent control of a police officer?
None of that stuff.
I don't understand it.
Bruh.
Literally, bruh, stop asking the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Do me a favor.
Promise me.
After this, go to YouTube and just put in Karen's getting arrested.
Karen's getting arrested.
Getting arrested.
Karen's, whatever the hell it is.
Just Karen's getting arrested.
Do yourself a favor.
You will not believe what police go through.
So Tyreek, you have no defense.
You will probably enter a plea of some sort.
Negotiated.
It doesn't look like it's, I don't know if it's criminal, I have no idea.
Obstructing or opposing a police officer, resisting with or without violence, it can turn into criminal really fast.
RAWB, resisting arrest without violence, depends upon your, all that stuff.
But when you get this disposed of, probably favorably, do yourself a favor, do a public service, and thank the brave men and women.
I'm telling you.
Whether you believe this or not, I don't care, because that's half the part about being sincere, is whether you believe it or not.
Get out and tell people flat out, this is what I want you to know.
I was wrong, and I want to apologize to that police officer, and I am donating a sizable amount to the Police Athletic League, or whatever it is, in his name, and in honor of the fallen police officers.
And kids, do me a favor.
Don't be like me.
They've got a tough job to do.
You will come out aces!
Your stock will rise!
Oh my God!
It's brilliant!
Can you do that?
Can you do that?
Listen to Uncle Lenny.
And kids, remember, and that goes for you adults too, remember, you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
These cops may be 100% wrong.
But you're going to go to the Gray Bar Inn.
You're going to go to the Pokey, to the Who's Gow.
You're going to go.
You're going.
As they say, he's going.
And God bless police officers for doing what they do.
I don't want to do it.
If somebody called me at 3 in the morning and says, 9-11, go over, some marauding...
Haitians are attacking.
They're with meat cleavers.
They're going after kittens and ducks.
I'm sorry I had to say that.
What was that again?
Yeah.
Are you sure you need me?
Yeah.
Have you thought about working there?
Yeah, I know I'm the police.
But listen, this sounds a little bit...
This is not my cup of tea.
Uh-uh.
Doesn't work like that.
All right?
Good.
Do me a favor.
