(00:00):
Milliwakee oh gunquin. That's a goodlife. That's good. We were just
sogging golf because Alice Cooper comes totown and he's like a scratch golfer.
What is he now? Seventy six? Seventy six? And FOP president Brian
Steel points out he goes, well, gosh, he was forty four in
Wayne's world and he looked old.Yeah, and you did. It's just

(00:23):
that scene in Wayne's world. It'slike real. It's actually pronounced milliwake,
which is algonquin. For the dudelife. That's a great scene. Uh.
The Don Ross, the retirement bossesin studio with us as well.
You mentioned Brian Steele is in herewith us, and people calling in with
questions. I love it is Jason, cop, is that what we're calling
it? Call a kop? Calla cop? Sure? Why not call

(00:45):
a cop? If you have acop, talk cop questions? Uh,
you know whatever, And Jason,thank you for waiting all this time.
Welcome to the show. Sure,it's good to be here. I've got
a comment about the corrupt, absolutelycorrupt whole police. They have been violating
my rights since I was eighteen yearsold. I'm fifty years old. I've

(01:07):
been arrested probably thirty times by Whitehall. I haven't been arrested in any other
town. They have violated. Theyarrested me for putting them off. They
arrested me for they threw me out, They illegally evicted me from my home.
They recently arrested me for filming atraffic stuff. They're absolutely corrupt.
It's not just the leadership, it'sright down to the street cops. They're

(01:30):
the worst around. So you've beenarrested thirty times, Jason, I mean
at least okay, wow, andyou just you kind of listed what you've
been arrested for those couple of things. But have any of those been like
recurring or something. You flipped oneof the officers and they arrested you for
that. Yeah, I didn't knowat the time that it was a first

(01:52):
minute protected but yeah, they tookme in jail for that. All you
gotta do is go down there andsay Jason did, and they will come
to my house and put me inhandcuffs and take me through the workshouse.
Wow. That is uh, that'sbrutal man, absolutely corrupt. And anyone
who says they back the blue onethousand Moron. All right, Jason,

(02:14):
thank you very much. I justwonder it's thirty times you have like your
favorite shower shoe or is there astall that's like your favorite one? To
me, I mean thirty a lotof times. Oh man, I was
unaware that if you flip an officeroff, you get arrest. You don't,
I think, I think there's twosides of the story. Yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, thirty times. Really look, no question about that.

(02:36):
I just that's why I wanted tomake sure. And you know,
I'm looking at Brian and and he'sgoing, yeah, no, you don't
there you don't get it because youknow some of the stuff that's out there
on social media. Now, someof it, I guess could be scripted
or it could be something going onwith that. But some of the stuff
you you sweat, you look atit, you watch it, you go,
man, that's real. And thetolerance of some of these officers is

(03:01):
off the charts. And I don'tknow if it's because they know they're being
filled. I don't know what's behindit. But again that's why I say
to myself, man, I'm gladI didn't get into that line of work
because I feel like man, I'dbe fired so fast, probably because I
have about this much tolerance for alot of these situations, not that it

(03:23):
results or that it should result insomebody being gunned down by the officer or
what have you. But man,you watch a lot of this stuff,
and social media is probably the biggestI don't know, it feels like to
me just in general, especially tolaw enforcement, that has to be something
that a lot of them just kindof cringe thinking about. You know,

(03:46):
social media is like the best ofthe videos. There's thousands of thousands of
runs officers going on and absolutely nothinghappens. It's so mundane and day after
day, and they're just taking littlesnippets and throwing it out there in a
ten second Snippet's not a reality ofevery single day. Yeah. By the
way, I'm a moron because Iback the blue Ye can't you niform too?

(04:06):
So you know what, I'll backthat too. You can't you can.
But I do think and as aconservative and a constitutionalist, and I
don't think anything I'm going about tosay Brian would disagree with a word of
which is you do have to holdofficers who do not live up to the
standard of the oath they took.You do have to hold them accountable.

(04:30):
And sometimes yes, you know,we saw it with unfortunately, I forget
the shooting the gentleman in the garagewho was walking around his car and he
got he got killed, and thatwent but it went through a due process.
What I'm saying is there are peoplewho seem like it's a snap judgment
either way or the other. Nomatter what, the officer is always right,

(04:50):
or no matter what the officer isalways guilty. This is such a
convoluted, complex, intense, pressurefilled line of work that you have to
let due process that plays out.We get a day in court, we
get due process. So do yourofficers, and you're upolutary and that's all

(05:10):
the matter is the end of theday. I'll never tell you that we
get it right every single time.I don't know a single profession that gets
it right every single time. Ialways say, there's a mistake of the
heart and mistake of the mind.If you make a mistake of the mind
and you make a split second decisionand it's wrong, hey maybe you're disciplined,
maybe you're suspended, maybe this job'snot for you. But we could
talk about it. If you makea mistake of the heart, which is
very rare but ken and does happenat times, well then you can't work

(05:33):
here. And I'll be the firstone to take your union card and stick
it in the shredder and say,hey, this isn't for you. Yeah,
we we I mean what we dofor a living. I mean we're
pretty close to perfect. I mean, wouldn't you say we are? You
know, we're not like that.We're not like those meteorologists. I mean,
if you could arrest a meteorologists forgetting the weather wrong, there would
be no meteorologists. There would bea federal prison just full of meteorologists.

(06:00):
That's funny, boy. Then Igotta I got a direct message. Can
you ask, mister Steele, whateverhappened to the rule that vehicle windows couldn't
be tinted so dark? Is Isthat still a thing? Or there's a
percentage in the RC and then theColumbus City Code, and I don't have
it off the top of my head, but there is there is a percentage.
And if the officer stops you wantsto write you a ticket for that,

(06:21):
they're gonna have some kind of tiptent meter and that'll show the problem
cause and one of the number onenon excuse but justification. They'll say,
as well, it can't be illegal. I bought it this way. Well,
in some scheme to make money,maybe a dealer sold you something with
tinted windows that were illegal. Thathas nothing to do with the officer.
So just just go with the flow. If you have a problem, go

(06:45):
pay your ticket, or just godown to court plead not guilty, and
let them prove that it was itwas illegal. I have a question,
and I've always wanted to ask this, So is it because on limousines the
windshield is clear and you can seethe drive, but a lot, if
not most limousines have very darkly tintedwindows to keep what goes on in the
limousine private. I mean, you'dthink what's going on in the back of

(07:08):
the limousine happens in like liquor stores. But I'm saying it seems like limos
are exempt from that rule. Itfeels like I don't know what's the There
are exemptions. I can't speak toa limousine, but there are some police
vehicles. There's exemptions for there's someexemptions for if you have some kind of
medical card that you know you needa tent. There are exceptions to everything,
okay, but there are some thatare so black you can't even see

(07:30):
you when you put your head rightup to the window right shout, I
would see the back door of aof a limo. W be okay because
it wouldn't have struck the drivers,because I think that's important part the driver
being able to see. Sure,I've seen individuals driving a car at night
with tinted front windshields and sunglasses on, and you're like, hey, Ray,
Charles, how you doing this?That's pretty amusing that guy, by

(07:51):
the way, But okay, yeahit's too DRD. Hey, what are
your thoughts? FLP President Lobs nine, Brian Steele's in studio also retirement boss
Don Ross. We're just kind ofhaving a round table and people are calling
in asking questions, so on andso forward. But what are your what
are your thoughts on the seat beltthing that's happening now where it's you're not

(08:11):
wearing a seat belt? Is thata they're trying to make it a primary
effect, primary offense. That's whatI was missing here, Like do you
have a lot of officers going ah, jeez, I mean they they may
like it as something in their backpocket because they're going there's some swerving going
on there. That person could possiblygo left to center, kill family or
you know whatever, somebody's mom obviouslyor or what have you. There's all

(08:33):
kinds of different I guess thought processeswith it. But what you know,
do you do? You have kindof a certain way that you kind of
feel about that or not. Soyou stump me. You said there's a
bill I'm not aware of. I'mnot aware of this. I personally wear
a seatbelt. I believe in seatbelts. I value my life. Just like
when I rode motorcycles, I worea full face helmet because when you're as

(08:54):
good looking as I am and ahair like I am, I am not
going to red Brian guys like uswho wake up better looking every day.
You just put himself with you.No, I mean, I mean Brian
and I if the struggles real.Three of us have a face for radio.
He does not. So you're notaware of making that a primary offense.

(09:16):
There's a bill that I'm gonna pullthat bill up. I'm not aware
of that one. Oh yeah,it's uh, I don't know where it's
at right now, but I don'tI don't know if it's been voted on
or if it's still floating around committee. But the other thing that would do
it would be a tool that ifyou, you know, you you suspect
someone maybe intoxica, and say youkind of follow them out of you know,

(09:37):
the dub pub or whatever, andthey're not swerving, but they they
don't have a seatbelt on, Andit's very clear they don't have a seatbelt
on. That's it, That's okay. Well, you know what, Now
I got PC to at least havea start a conversation to figure out is
this person a danger to themselves andeveryone else on the road? Boy?
We got yeah, we got alot of we got a lot of calls

(09:58):
just fire enough. So we've strucka nerve here. Hey, Nate,
welcome to the show. Hey,thanks for taking my call. Sure,
So, I wanted to comment onthe windows situation. So I have a
jeep that the windows are fully blackedout on in the front windshield also is
tinted. But so the law isthe two front windows, like the driver

(10:26):
door and the passenger front door,those have to be fifty percent visibility and
anything behind the driver in the passengerseat can be as dark as you want,
and that can be right. Now, are you referring to the hioervice
code or the Columbus City code,And just know that there's two different things
here to HIO a vice code,but different agencies such as Columbus can use

(10:50):
the Columbus City Code and you knowthey may not exactly mirror. They usually
do, but they not always do. So just know where you're driving through,
what jurisdiction has, what local ordinances. Yeah right, So also you
know a lot of the reason whythey say that they don't want the front
windows ten it is so that theycan see inside the vehicle. But as
soon as I get pulled over,no matter if I'm driving that or my

(11:13):
accord, as soon as I getpulled over, I roll down on all
the windows anyway, I just it'sa habit that I made and I always
do it. That's pretty smart andwe appreciate to do that. And it
just comes down the officer stop inyour car. He wants to be able
to see inside that vehicle. Andthat's all it does, come to safety.
And I'm reading a high advice code. It looks like the front could
be tinted five inches down. Theside windows must allow more than fifty percent

(11:37):
of the light in, and theback windows any darkness. But again,
the officer could look at it andsay, hey, that might look like
too much tint, But unless theyhave a tint meter, they wouldn't really
know, and you're most likely notgoing to get a ticket if they didn't
have a tin meter. Unless you'rein Whitehall, then they're going to order
you to write the ticket. Hey, hell Nate, thank you very much
for the call. Appreciate it.Hey, Ed, welcome to the show.
What's up? Brother? Hey?Thanks? I got a question,

(12:00):
Brian. Is it going to bea civilian course that will teach us how
to be a multitasker when we drivea multiwitzer a multitasker. Multitasker, you
know you can get cited now ifyou're found distracting by textings. Yeah,
but if you look at a cruisersTAE patrol police, doesn't matter. You

(12:22):
got your radio on your shoulder,you got a laptop in the car somewhere,
you got your radar. You're payingattention to plus traffic, not to
mention if you still have radio traffic. I mean, all of this has
happened with you guys? Did yougo through a special class and teach her
a multitask? We went through aspecial class by the Seattle taught us about

(12:43):
ED. Thanks. I appreciate thecall. Yeah, you get people that
ask that or have problems with thatbecause, of course, yeah, that's
something with the texting and the distractedand all of that. I don't know
the other The answer is, it'ssomething you have to do as an officer.
It's not even a it's not like, well you have a choice on

(13:05):
that you don't really have. Andwe could be exempt by law, but
that doesn't mean we're exempt from policy. If we were to get into an
accident, maybe it might be nota violation of a law, but it
might be a violation of policy ifI was typing on my computer and I
rearended something. Yeah, but you'realso allowed to drive around with an AR
in the back of your car ina position ready to go that I can't
do with mine. And because youneed to have that, and and speed

(13:28):
and and disregard most traffic signals,if you know, if applicable. Yeah, yeah,
