If this real, unfortunately a question that needs to be asked these days, this dude is a fucking legend.

The legend's name is actually McLovin and then the cops took him to shoot their guns for some fun lovin' target practice, and drink more beers

I’m not a cop but I did have two beers and I’d let him do a wheelie in my patrol car.

Is he a legend or are cops generally just the dumbest mfers on earth?

You actually can't become a cop if you're smart or you score high on an emotional quotient test. They want you between 80 and 100 IQ, and have little to no empathy.
Those are actual requirements in the United States police academies.

I remember this one from a few years back I think so it should be real

u/HeyGayHay Jan 18 '26
People scripted shit years ago already. They just didn’t heavily monetize it and subsequently did it mostly for giggles. But old != real

It is hilarious (and a bit sad) that the future is going to be so laden with authentic-looking AI content that people are going to collectively forget that we had anything fake before AI.

u/chasewayfilms Jan 18 '26
I mean the same thing happened with photoshop and staged older photos
I’m not defending AI, but we have gone through this before

This guy sounds like the guy that does the insane ass jack in the box horror commercial. He dressed up as jack and terrorized a guy into trying some food and forced him to like it.

If this were true, these cops are Chief Wiggam level of incompetence.

If it's a small town, the cop probably knows him and it's just a procedural arrest. It's not some guy from the next city over that spends all day scolding strangers about the law and trying to hit ticket quotas. It's Bert from up the road. He went to high school with your dad and it's not unusual to see him at a cookout once or twice a year. He used to give you grief for skateboarding in the school parking lot on the weekends and he doesn't even bother with the pat-down when he takes you in anymore. He'll sit you in his office for an hour, write you a warning, or maybe a little fine, then send you home. If you're super drunk he might put you in a cell overnight or call one of your family members to come get you.

Plausible but I can see Bert taking this melonhead home and handing him straight over to dad to deal with. Old HS buddies do that in small towns.

Lived in a small town. Police chief caught me drinking under age at the edge of Dad's property. Told me to pour the only beer I had out. Was with friends so downed it.
He gave me a dad frown & said "You know that's not what I meant but I'm letting you off with a warning cos you didn't spill any. Don't let me catch you again"
Small town policing is kind of interesting

I’ve always been a bit nervous of the “your sister rejected me in front of everyone before prom 10 years ago, now it’s time to take it out on you” or “them Hatfields are always up to no good”. You can be just minding your business and someone else’s beef ruins your day.

Yeah, my brother dated a black girl for a while in high school and the DAY he first brought her over for dinner, he got pulled over by the sheriff, who'd known him since he was in diapers, and got treated cold as ice. He got pulled over every few months from then on out even after he split up with that girl. He got added to the list of "troublemakers" the local cops would periodically pull over just to "check on them" or "keep the min line". After that, every time people would mention him during chitchat, they'd talk about him in the past tense like he had died or something.

As someone who currently lives in a small town I can agree with your last statement. 100%

Not sure about the one in OP but it happens sometimes

u/Skatchbro Jan 18 '26
Unfortunately it does. We had St. Louis City officer killed a few years ago because he did a shitty search and missed a gun on the suspect.

Dude one time, back when I used to do lots of drugs, me and my then-gf got pulled over by cops, and they half assed checked my pockets, didn't find anything, and then found fentanyl on my gf. We had been fighting that day. She tells them "well he has meth, so he should get arrested too right?" I did have meth. In my pocket. The little tiny jeans pocket for change or whatever. They checked me AGAIN and didn't find it. Laughed my ass off, walked away and got high a few blocks over.
Different time, I had a little box about the size of a phone, in my hoodie pocket, full of drugs, and got handcuffed, pushed onto the hood of my car, patted down, and had a full discussion with a cop about a warrant I had in another county, and then he sent me on my way. Some cops are really bad at their jobs lol.

The record will show that my client chugged that beer while in police custody while not operating a motor vehicle.

I got nicked once and when I was let go they gave me my wallet back, complete with the gram of MDMA I had in there.

Pulled over for tail light. Arrested for no insurance. Car impounded. The half zip was still in the glove box when I got it out. Sad story with a happy ending.

u/Apprehensive_Use3641 Jan 18 '26
Never had alcohol so I've never paid attention to open container laws, he opens that beer up, is everyone in more trouble or just him? I figure that the cops already in trouble for not searching him, but who do open container laws apply to, driver, passenger or both?

u/KIw3II Jan 18 '26
From what I understand, it's a "within arms reach of the driver" that causes it to become a no-no typically but since there is a separation gate.. who knows.

u/plaev, your post didn’t get enough love (or hate) to make a call.
