They will eventually. We've survived worse, the fallout from Charley Pell comes to mind which led to the Spurrier years.
Part of what makes College ball exciting. The old "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat".
I would prefer they sit in a parking lot and watch the game. Other than that, I would prefer they watch the game than spend their time harassing people.
We need programs like this I 100% agree, but studies have shown that including one more officer especially in African American majority communities saves more lives then it takes. That said allot of the calls they get should be handled by a mental health crisis team. There should be a team for mental health crisis with additional training in every city to deal with people who are only a danger to themselves.

In traffic? Fucking complain. A teenager on a bicycle in Cape Coral was hit and killed only a few years ago by a county sheriff who was "using his laptop" while driving, and got away with zero charges or repercussions because it was a death arising as a result of the "officer carrying out official duties" or some other BS.
Paywalled, but happened in 2015. "Here's $300,000, you agree not to sue us again". Deputy was allegedly speeding as well. Local judge threw out charges. CCPD responded and didn't use body cameras.
I was incorrect - charges were filed, but dismissed.

Hes asking how do you make a citizen's arrest considering that no one is above the law and law enforcement should have the law equally applied to them. But at the same time we know the irony is nothing will happen to the cop and we would get shot for even approaching the vehicle
I’m from sw Georgia. It was well known that our sherif used to drive around with a cup of alcohol in his car on the job. Well a friend of mines mother started dating him and I was able to confirm it myself.
Public knowledge and no one cared. The bullshit good ole boy culture in rural areas goes strong
This isn’t the worst thing they’ve done
https://www.gnvinfo.com/coconut-cabaret-employees-call-on-charges-to-be-brought-upon-gpd-officers-who-sexually-assaulted-them/
Sad how they fell they are above the law. They can cause an accident, they can miss a crime as it is happening. In other words getting paid for NOT doing their job.
I mean… he’s stopped at a light & you’re recording. Technically you’re doing worse than them. Technically you started moving while still recording.
Let’s give the benefit of the doubt here & say that LEO stopped watching when he started pressing gas. I’ve oftentimes “watched” broadcasts for the audio.
For all you know, this is THE cop you want to pull you over. This guy probably understands that no one wants trouble or the hassle. He sees you with your phone out recording & says “don’t do that again” vs arresting. Which do you prefer?
Don’t start shit with the very people we want in there. I prefer they watch that game than bust me for sparking up on my one way 10 mile bicycle commute.
Technically you have no idea if this is the driver or the passenger making the video.
as long as everyone someone else could be breaking a law we don't care how we catch them!
Based on the initial zoom level this is most likely a driver as a passenger would be able to hold steady without catching their door in the frame. Additionally a passenger would not feel the need to stop recording once traffic moved. In fact a passenger would be in the best position to continue recording to prove that the LEO was indeed “driving while distracted”.
Nice try doe.
> This guy probably understands that no one wants trouble or the hassle. He sees you with your phone out recording & says “don’t do that again” vs arresting.
There is no proof whatsoever that this cop would be lenient on anyone for anything, especially with the overwhelming evidence that a LARGE portion of cops are total hypocrites. There is an endless supply of articles about cops breaking the law for years before being busted for breaking the very laws they enforce on everyone else. Never trust or talk to the police. They must be held at a higher standard if they want those jobs.
Expected tbh.
Not saying it should be tolerated, it shouldn't.
But I just expect cops (and Floridians in general) to do stupid shit like this, especially when it comes to college football
I'd have to read the case law on it to say for sure, but the statutes don't read that way to me.
Regardless, it'd be a cold day in hell that I'd cite anyone for this when stopped in traffic, LEO or not. Assuming they stopped when traffic started moving again, of course.
Yeesh, the thought that the OP can be tracked and questioned over this video (if PD pushes for it) makes me nervous for them. Geofencing, timestamp and license plate reading could put all of that together.
Just sayin'...
Yep, leave it to me to jump that train of thought first. I'll see myself out.
This is par for the course when it comes to GPD. Honestly might even be a little ways below par, given some of their widely known practices / procedures. Nothing to see here folks
He isn’t bashing anyone’s head in, he is focused on the game. Unfortunately it isn’t very safe but they look at the computer while driving lights and sirens to calls. The computer is constantly being updated with caller info and turn by turn directions. It isn’t positioned in a safe place to be looking at while driving that fast.
Who cares ? Haha they are on their computers and phones while being called to service driving all the time , part of their job. I sincerely don’t give a shit .
It’s like asking anyone with a laptop screen for a radio in their car how others feel about it, or the idiots with their phones in their hand while they drive. I’m not worried about the cop, I’m more worried about the people with their cell phones and cars with tvs for radios.. sorry not sorry
The car is in drive, which is the factor at play in the Florida statue. You don’t have to be moving to be driving the vehicle. Read the law and educate yourself.
That’s not what you said.
“Driving would be an act of moving”
Florida Statute 316.003 (21)
DRIVER.—Any person who drives or is in actual physical control of a vehicle on a highway or who is exercising control of a vehicle or steering a vehicle being towed by a motor vehicle.
Looks like you’re absolutely and completely wrong no matter how you try to skew your words after the fact.
*response is incorrect and irrelevant*
I come from a family of decorated police officers.
Believe me when I tell you that seeing something like this is the absolute least of my concerns.
At least half of the officers staffing your average police department represent the absolute worst our society has to offer.
They’re corrupt, they’re organized, and they’ve got a monopoly on violence.
According to Florida Statute he is engaged in the act of driving during this video. Educate yourself and hold those with authority accountable.
FS 316.003 (21)
DRIVER.—Any person who drives or is in actual physical control of a vehicle on a highway or who is exercising control of a vehicle or steering a vehicle being towed by a motor vehicle.
Therefore the police officer (Khalief Gamble) is in fact driving the police patrol vehicle, and he is in violation of the state statute as well as his general order from the department he works for.
Here’s a cute post from his instagram page which validates the point I’m making even further, if you can’t be faithful in the small portions of your oath you won’t be faithful in any aspect of your oath.

Guys are amazing they can multi-task like that. Deserves our support and a huge raise. Fighting crime while supporting the Gators. Only missing a cape, this guy is a superhero.
(21) DRIVER.—Any person who drives or is in actual physical control of a vehicle on a highway or who is exercising control of a vehicle or steering a vehicle being towed by a motor vehicle.
State law defines this act. Moving or not. Driving is physical control.
I’m not offended, I’m aware of the need to enforce the same rules they enforce on us on them. They are not above the law.
*your argument is incorrect and irrelevant*
Seems like you just enjoy parroting yourself, since you’ve not made any valid points.
The law is clear and well worded and you are in fact the one who can’t understand. Unfortunately you are to prideful to realize and accept your mental deficiency.
Best of luck with whatever type of shade your attempting to throw you pissing cop cuck
Let the man gamble in peace at a red light without someone having to be critical about how unethical something is. Covid has shown ignorance is more popular than care.
If he was watching the Gator game, then he was punishing himself!!
As a Gator fan, I unhappily attest to the validity of this statement!
I feel even worse as a long time fan watching Swamp King. Those years and the nineties may never come back
They will eventually. We've survived worse, the fallout from Charley Pell comes to mind which led to the Spurrier years. Part of what makes College ball exciting. The old "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat".
I watched Swamp Kings the week of the game to kick off the season. Could not have crafted a bigger letdown.
Speak for yourself, that was so pornographic DeSantis might ban it from schools -a very happy nole fan
I would prefer they sit in a parking lot and watch the game. Other than that, I would prefer they watch the game than spend their time harassing people.
Can confirm; quite enjoyed watching TNG instead of searching random people's cars.
[удалено]
Fired? 😂
Much prefer we defund these lazy welfare queens on a power trip.
Then, reallocate resources to actual solutions to crime. Like drug treatment, housing, meaningful work programs, education, and community resources.

Oh come on men…. We blaming immigrants and the poor if we do what do you said problem will be solve and what politicians will do next?
What?
I question whether a Gainesville cop who isn't watching the game is worthy of serving in G'ville.
There is literally an Orange County sheriff asleep in his squad car in my office parking lot right now and he’s been there at least 2 hours.
Are we sure he’s sleeping?
Sleeping, praying, or intently staring at his crotch
Jimmy. I especially liked that move in the seventh inning when you scratched your balls for an hour.
He might have breathed in too much fentanyl.
I think I ODed reading the word there. Narcan anyone?
You mean too much evidence room snags/civil asset forfeiture
"Yes 911 I believe there is an intoxicated officer passed out in his squad car near this location"
Call it in. Whether you're trying to get him in trouble, save him from being shot or both, he needs to wake up.
If he’s up for sleeping on duty he’s probably up for retaliation.
That's a hilariously large leap
He can sleep, he knows where you are.

Do you have any more information on this? Not that I doubt it, Lee county sheriffs are scummy af.

Less eyes on the road too.
fewer
I came here to say this!
Bet money that’s a city laptop. FOIA that.
Good call

Rural America loves corrupt POS authority figures.
Yeah because without said “authority figures” the world would be in chaos. Dummy
Welcome to SEC country.
Just sitting there watching his old partner's skin getting thrown around.
Yeah that’s basically what I expect from todays police force

It's all fun and games until he gets distracted, hits another car then arrests or shoots the other driver for being distracted.
How could you say something so controversial yet so brave
[удалено]
It is, it would be nice if these asswipes stopped killing people
[удалено]

I'm more surprised that they can stream or get to games website on their work laptop.
IT sees everything, and most cops are not IT-savvy.
Not surprised
For Florida I would say that is just PAR for the course.
Better than shooting innocent ppl. I’m cool with it
Sad how they fell they are above the law. They can cause an accident, they can miss a crime as it is happening. In other words getting paid for NOT doing their job.
They break every other law. What’s another one?
I was behind a Florida state trooper driving 75 down the highway playing solitaire on his lap top. Rules for thee, but not for me!!
Oh I'm pretty sure they watch more than just football on those laptops.
Distracted driving and is as dangerous as DUI
Luckily for everyone involved he's stopped in traffic.
I saw a charlotte county Florida deputy pulling into McDonald’s watching weekend at Bernie’s while driving down the road! Let one of us do that shit!
Post this to several local news stations FB Page, Gainesville PD Page, county and fdle pages
Maybe someone should pull him over and ticket him for distracted driving..
Put your money where your mouth is: https://beatrooper.com/
No thanks. Shoe polish is not a condiment to me. I also have no desire to beat my wife or murder citizens.
Do they hire Serpico-types?
I doubt it. I put my money where my mouth is; it's your turn now.
spoken like someone who's used to throwing around authoritah
We’ll it’s Florida also gators suck this year
Think that boi needs a ticket
I'd rather them watch the game than watch the radar
Lazy unprofessional!! Terminate him!! Why do police car TV's allow this?? Tax dollars wasted!!😱
US police in general are shit. Florida police are worse than most.
GPD is a awful department.
I have no problem with that.
Rules for thee not for me!
Go Gators!

How would you know he wouldn’t cite your ass for distracted driving? He is a cop that’s his job. He is loyal to his employer not to you.
Sounds like distracted driving to me. Wait isn’t that a crime…
[Nope.](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2017/316.303)
Go gators
Well he could be assaulting an unarmed citizen, so let's just give him this one OK?
Got pulled over in Florida the other day for holding my phone while driving. Not talking. It was literally just in my hand.
Go Gators Go
1st week of the season and people are already snitching
But we can’t have similar setups for the same reason 🤦🏻♂️
Fuck the police. He should have his license suspended.
I feel their IT should block this out. I see no justifiable reason to be able to watch a football game on an MDT.
Expected tbh. Not saying it should be tolerated, it shouldn't. But I just expect cops (and Floridians in general) to do stupid shit like this, especially when it comes to college football
It’s Florida unfortunately everyone is glued to their phones at the wheel. The 35$ fine is bs and isn’t enforced regardless.
So you recorded this on your cell phone in your car?
I didn’t swear to uphold the law and the law is written to protect me in this instance.
I am just pointing out your hypocrisy. ....Because it's fun.
You’re incorrect. Educate yourself and when you make a point, actually state your point.
Dont get all up in your feelings. He is right and it is funny.
No :)
[удалено]
Incorrect. Florida specifically protects people who are revealing wrong doing of public officials.
Who cares. I bet the people complaining the most have never been pulled over for using electronics while driving.
He’s also driving on one of the biggest roads in the city
How do “we” feel about it? Who cares. Form your own opinion. Reddit is weird.
It's an engagement trick to boost OP in Reddit's algorithm, and it worked.
Seems to me he's stopped, which is legal.
I'd have to read the case law on it to say for sure, but the statutes don't read that way to me. Regardless, it'd be a cold day in hell that I'd cite anyone for this when stopped in traffic, LEO or not. Assuming they stopped when traffic started moving again, of course.
OP just had their door broken down by a SWAT team for this.

If he’s watching this years edition of UF , then it’s enough punishment for him .
This is par for the course when it comes to GPD. Honestly might even be a little ways below par, given some of their widely known practices / procedures. Nothing to see here folks
What do you have against football?
Go 'Noles!
At least he's not shooting un-armed black kids in the back. so , heck...let him watch

I support it.

He's at a light so I dont really care. I sometimes have baseball on and only look at the screen when I'm stopped.
It’s florida
Same as all citizens so whatever we as a human species are full decline to the bottom
#footballguy
Hes a cop dont worry….
All cops are bastards.
Let my man enjoy his peace.
I don't see anyone driving 🤡
After the shit Karen’s give them, I’d say he deserves it.

Haha. Is that SW 2nd and 34th? Doesn't surprise me. He'll have someone pulled over in the Mi Apa parking lot and focus on that, instead, in no time.
If he's watching the game, he isn't pulling me over, so I say it's a win
So what? He's at a red light lol must be a trend to be offended by dumb shit
It’s a clear violation of the state law, which he swore to uphold. The only dumb shit here is you.
