Hello, I agree with you but You shouldn't sign the paper. If I were you, I could not sign the paper. If the police arrests me for no reason. Police will be in a big SH*& day that he will be fired and lose to his pension which my mom's brother is the CHIEF OF POLICE. I am living in Toronto, ON Canada. He is the chief of Toronto Police. He can fire the police if Police has discrimination against me.
I'm a CODA and this happens a lot... I actually get out of tickets by pretending to be Deaf because in my state it is the LAW that a cop MUST allow for an interpreter and it's sometimes a long wait. (30min - 1hour.)
If your mom went to court, and she told them that the cop didn't allow for an interpreter, and he couldn't show the video, she could have gotten out of that; I'm pretty sure. XD;
Every American has the right to be informed why they are being pulled over, and if officer fails to communicate this in clear language to that the person can understand(hence they have spanish translators) thus same applies to deaf. They cannot issue a citation.Thus it would in most cases be dismissed.
Bottom line if you went to court, and officer didnt show judge in most case will accept your admission and reduce or dismiss case. Most times officers wont show, and if they did, if you brought your witnesses often times burden of proof is estabalished and case dismissed. I however advocate for the deaf, and disabled people, thus alike fast foods they have those electronic devices for menu ordering I think police should have something simular. with built in translator.
I will say, I agree that the officer should have made effort to communicate by other means other than oral. Many of us today have pagers, cell phones or documents in the glove compartment. While reaching for the glove compartment immedaitely is not advicable, Once you have initaited visual with the officer and they see that you arent some vicious criminal, they should reasonate and allow you to locate paper or use pager or some sort of method to communicate. Officer was being irrational.
The counselor on a deaf community Deafornot dot c om said that "People who may be defined as clinically deaf (unable to hear spoken language) may or may not be members of the Deaf community."
"The other day I made a stop and found both the driver and passenger to be deaf. This surprised me, as I didn't think a deaf person could get a driver's license. But the driver presented a driver's license and it came back as valid.""
This is not ignorance, this is stupidty.
Did the deaf population have this problem in the 30's & 40's?
@MicahDan235 In the 30s and 40s a Deaf person might not have even been able to -get- a driver's license. Read "In This SIgn" by J. Greenberg. It is a novel based on her and her husband's experiences working with Deaf people at an employment agency. Hearing people have been very stupid about Deaf people and it's about time things changed.
One more thing-I am a little confused about the "refusal to sign" thing...see.....in our state (TX), signing the ticket is not "admission of guilt" at all but a "promise to appear in court." So, when you sign the ticket, it means you promise to appear in court at the assigned date. If you don't sign, you go to jail because not signing means "you won't promise to show up to court." Signing the ticket has nothing to do with guilt/innocence of the crime-that is what your court date is for.
I think people kept focusing on the speed limit and how your mom was "wrong" because you kept mentioning how she "wasn't really speeding-it wasn't a big deal." I agree that 29 in a 25 is not that big of a deal but speeding is speeding and a cop can write a ticket. However, I understand that wasn't your main point. The officer handled the whole thing pretty shitty and a "well-written letter" to his department regarding fair treatment of deaf should be sent.
Sad sorry ... ;). Its a nice example of the sort of thing that society needs to deal with to help get along.
Another is the horn!!! The horn is often used as a safety warning from one driver to another. Sadly, a deafie can't hear. If a car flashed lights too that might help?
mom vs cop - cop may win but it is WRONG!!!! officers cannot think they are above the law. they are the law but they have to abide by it as well. honestly, just truthfully being honest to God, mom should have won because this is just so unfair.
Barb... i have a feeling nobody who is as close minded as the ones who have commented negatively towards your vlog can possibly understand the difficulties that many Deaf have had with officers of the law as well as the government. i am not Deaf but i am an interpreter student and many of my teachers, whom are Deaf, have told me many many stories about getting held at gunpoint, and all kinds of crazy stories simply because they prefer not to make an effort to communicate.
That is not the point of my vlog. It is not about whether she sped or not, it is about not having an equal access to communication. When will you get it?
@Capsule21 To let you know that 29 in 25 is fine but if you are going 30 in 25 then it not fine. What I know from the sheriff office they said if the car is going 4 MPH more than speed limt will be ok.
@Capsule21 You are really offensive. Do you understand that? By LAW the cop should have allowed for an interpreter, and the cop lied on the ticket. He gave her the ticket without allowing her equal communication rights and probably took advantage of her. He could have written legibly, but he DIDN'T... A lot people try to take advantage of Deaf people in such situations and the cop was being a dick.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well i am more of on the officer's side because i think he did his job right. Your mom is just made things difficulties for the officer and act all like a dumb and deaf person, not just being a deaf. I am deaf and i would have notepad and pen in the glove box ready to communicate in case if anything happens. This is where you learn in driving education, when you get pulled over by a cop. Take out the driver license and proof of registration. Mom vs cop - cop win!
First of all, my mom is not dumb. Secondly, not all Deaf persons have pen and pad ready. A police officer should be sensitive when it comes to communicating with the Deaf. Besides, there are stories when Deaf drivers reaching out for a paper and pen in the glove compartment getting beat up or even shot prompting them thinking that they are to get a gun. My mom is entitled to have access to communication and for you to dismiss this is a shame.
@Capsule21 your a pill and stupid pop a pill cause if u said that to my face im known for smashing mouths like yours sorry uncompassionate looser fuck u and the cops mother fucker
you should be shame yourself do u know that most cops don't know nothing about deaf people anad u call us dumb??? well i wish u see for yourself if u were deaf like us and u see how hard that deaf people try to talk to cops and no matter what u should we want equal as same hearing people and that i am hard hearing and i can do anything and we deaf people do anything and you should shame yourself!
they don't pick a interpreter to come stop the car area they can't affrod to got interpreter for cost 45.00 dollar. and. . of coruse . they call to got an interpeter come to the court house. now everyone shut up. this video is past
True but this officer refused to use it...interpreters are not to be expected immediately on the road, you are right however if you go to part II, the interpreter was not even provided for this Deaf Americans but immigrants so what do you make out of that? Besides this happened a bit more than a year ago not eons so it is not exactly ancient history.
That's so far comment. what wrong with you yourself. they establish the service for call to got an interpreter went to the hospital or court house, or meeting. you talk about outside could not pay for . if cop ask you want to pay for got interpreter?. cop gonna await for interpreter come to see you stop the care . it's gonna for 2 or 3 hours waiting. lol
Just go to Part II and you will understand more...they didnt even provide an interpreter for my mom at court, get it? What is wrong with you? Can you read?
well, Avbria ... This is part of the facts and non-facts Deaf People had a power to understand or not understand so it nothing being perfect in this entire world... Hey, it's natural human being that create Deaf people the way it is and etc. Have to understand one thing Hearing people had no way to understand one thing about Deaf Culture. You will know until you figure these thing out. Have a good evening...
True but we are talking about the law and Deaf people's right ya know? It shouldn't be messed up with and that every Deaf individual should have equal communcation access like anyone else. Thanks for your comment.
What happened to your mom is awful. The constitution allows you the right to know what you are being charged with, even for a ticket. It doesn't say except for deaf people at the bottom. She has the right to be explained to her exactly what is going on and shouldnt be expected to guess because they are too lazy to accomidate her. Not right.
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. BUT I LOVE MY MOM SO I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.If you don't copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
I'm deaf myself and have been learning ASL for two years now. After watching this video, I am so grateful that my mother raised me orally, so I wouldn't get into situations like this one, since Deaf people seem to rely on ASL interpreters all the time.
Well, my mother was raised orally, too. It doesn't make any difference for her though. If the cop was more considerate to communicate by speaking a bit slower or writing on a paper, it would be a totally different situation. When being faced in situations like this, anyone can become nervous or something as it can led to misunderstanding.
When it comes to dealing with a law especially in court, there is no way any Deaf people, oralists or not, understand everything which is why ASL interpreters should be requested.
Cop is right because officer told you that you can tell the judge about your problem with an officer. they provide hispanic interpreter becuz they can not read or speak in english.
you can read the ticket, that is why the officer felt that was not need an interpreter for you. anyway, did you win at the court??
It is not what happened to me by the way. I am explaining what happened to my mom. Well, in case you didn't get what I said, I explained that the cop even refused to write what he said. Also did you know that it is a law to provide interpreters for the Deaf? Her rights were violated, simple as that. No one should tolerate the guessing game.
Does it really matter what, if anything, your mother could have communicated to the officer? In most cases, people make it worse by letting the officer know what they think happened. Just take the citation and state the case in court. The officer may have been rude, but it doesn't mean he wasn't right.
Sucks for your mom. :( I saw Part II; unfortunately I didn't understand quite enough, but I hope it turned out well.
Still, you may be being a bit harsh on the cops in that particular police forum. Yes, there was some ignorance, but overall, they were just wondering if the deaf could drive and what problems they might encounter. Personally, I'd prefer people ask questions (however "dumb" these questions may seem)instead of making assumptions.
I am just explaining what happened based on what my mother told me. She requested for a pen/paper and he simply refused. She requested for an interpreter and he again refused. How is he supposed to communicate with my mother? This is not an excuse for ignorance as it is just based on common sense!
Number two, it is not about whether if the Deaf can drive, jeez! FYI, all Deaf people are allowed to drive as long as they pass the test.
I understand. I should have mentioned that I am deaf too. _Of course_ we can drive... ;) ...also, I'm not trying to defend the particular cop your mother had to deal with. He was a jerk. I was referring to the policemen in the forum you posted. Even if they displayed a bit of ignorance (which really can't be helped, as you can't know what you've never been told), most of them recommended just having a notepad and pen handy, and being a bit more patient with deaf drivers.
avbria, I just wanted to say thank you for showing me sign language and also how great it is for me to see at my own pace a story with sign language, and I think it is actually sometimes better not to hear to be able to concentrate more easily while driving and avoid distractions.
Hey i am taking Asl for my language in highschool(pretty amazing) befor i toke this class to be truthfully honest i didnt not get it ya i understood the whole meaning of "deaf" but to me it was nothing more! know that the deaf community has a backround like american or hispanics i have much more respect for them. i am so glad that i am taking it for my 2 language credits into collage!!
I have a very close Deaf friend. Its sadly true that some take advantage of them. I was checking info on pay. its the same. But for ask her if she can read lips Come On not all deaf caan read lips. Like can hearing understand this sign sorry poorly made let me know ok peace ... sign word : \_|__| ?
if you know tell me if not i will tel you . That cop she saw was an Idiot. Sorry to hear that from signing. :( ga sksk. As for me my ASL is grade 4-6. at best. But as 2nd langauge :)
your the same idiot who made the same comment in another asl video. and are you implying that Deaf people are not normal?? trying learning a little sign, you might actually enjoy yourself.
I have a question. I am studying sign, this video is good. About half way through this video, after you discuss Nevada Law, you bring your first fingers from shoulders to center, like a sideways 'need' sign coming together. WHAT IS THAT SIGN? I cannot find it, figure it, even try to learn that one no where. Help?
it's the sign for spanish (language). She was comparing how nevada has interpreters on call for spanish speaking people and so they should have them for deaf individuals as well.
Good on you for speaking out against police abuse. Seems the wrath of the law is spreading like wildfire. I suggest you folks learn Common Law & put a stop to this.
I have many Deaf friends who have shared their experiences with the law. Many of them (cops) will be unwilling to provide an interpreter and I've heard many say they don't believe Deaf people should be driving. Makes me sick to my stomach how discriminating they can be.
Hi. I am hard of hearing and vision impaired. Back in 1997 at night in Minnesota. I was riding my bike home and a squad car was trying to tell me to stop. but I couldnt hear a thing. Went though a red light. and cop turn on his over head lights. So I stop and wait for cop and he is rude. I told him i cant hear please write. he wouldnt. and decides to yell. Made me feel stupid. I had no idea what he is saying. police are stupid and cocky. I think they can do things better than that!
I've had something similar like that happen to a friend of mine, getting pulled over and the officer wouldn't provide any effort of communications..He knew me from somewhere and knew that I'm hard of hearing but also knows that I cannot interpret..I do not lip-read that well..I was with my friend..He literally yelled at me to tell my friend what he said. I refused, for two reasons...Yelling at me, and NOT making any effort to communicate properly.
Wow I'm so jealous. I have taken sign for 3 years and I understood most of it, but it was a bit difficult for me. I definitely could not read the fingerspelling that fast though. I need to work on that, especially seeing as im applying for Gallaudet :-p
i learned sign language like the letters but im going to try to learn the full words i saw some letters in there but she was going to fast i only know how to do it slow but im starting to go a litte faster.
Not really...it is about no effort made in enhancing communication relations between my mother and the cop since he rejected the idea to write what he said since there was no interpreters provided.
if u couldent hear you wouldent be able to sound out silibles and words you would talk verry loud or verry soft because u wouldent be able to here your self talk.
This is intended for signing audience but non signers are welcome to read the transcript. Do you see many subtitles in other videos for the Deaf? I think not.
Ok, if it's for the deaf only then it should not have appeared in the reccomended videos for the day on accounts of people who are not deaf, then I would never have come here. I thought that it was attempting to spread awareness of issues with the deaf to a wider audience and as such would have subtitles. I didn't know it was only to discuss within the deaf community (and as such should have been filtered from me).
Excuse me? It is a free server and I do whatever I wish as long as I follow the guidelines. You are not forced to come here as you can quickly close my vlog when you realize you know zip about sign language and move on! Don't you know that there is a Deaf community video group if you check around. Not all of us are eager to spread awareness since it is a tiring job (imagine doing it over and over) and for once let us discuss topics what we like to share with each other.
one more thing if you have read deaf in the tag, then you would or should know that it is for the deaf and/or by the deaf. Providing subtitles is very time consuming and it doesn't make my vlogging experience fun so the best I could do is to provide a summary or a transcript so please give me a break!
Deaf people should not have a sound card at all then because just having a sound card would be the waste of power. Putting the sound card into D3 and turning it off can help to save some power, however sending audio to a computer that has sound disabled or off would not consume a measureable amount of power; so remove the sound card or disable and turn off the speakers if you want to save power.
The only thing that you could argue is the bandwidth of sending the larger streaming codec with the audio encoded. On the software side though once it receives the audio an audio codec could just bitbucket it completely and never decompress to save CPU resources.
But again, we have already established on this thread that this video is deaf only and I should never have come here, youtube screwed up by not putting on the correct segragation.
But why didn't your mother bring a notebook and a pen? That would solve a problem at the very first place. I always carry that in my purse just in case. :)
Totoish - What do you mean what an asshole? I have watched this twice to from start to finish and she NEVER shows her browneye. Kind of a tease if you ask me cause she acts like she's going to. She's just playing the coy and quiet type thinking guys will dig it. I got no time for games like that...
So how could you explain over 100,000 viewers watching this video and having over 800 subscribers? I do reach a lot of people and try my best to make my videos accessible by providing summaries/transcripts. Not many people understand Deaf signers and you would be surprised how many are curious about us and wanted to learn about Deaf culture. I am here to share :-)
Do you understand sign language? If not, then butt out! Playing the coy? What? I am just speaking my language and if you don't like it then leave. There is no tease, sheesh! Take ASL course and you will understand.
man, i'm just learning basic ASL, and this is WAY over my head, i think i understood one word.. car. and mabye a few letters she started spelling out. :(
i was like, if i watch as many ASL lessons on youtube i can learn.. but this totally just put my feelings down:( i guess i should get into a class.. :(
Cool, just keep it up like you would when learning any language. I know how it feels since it goes the same when trying to learn Spanish. One of the secrets to maintain your skills is to interact and practice the language with people who use them :-)
hello? most of us are not dear nor do I know more than how to sign happy. some sound would be nice. lack of it is not making me connect anymore than it helps.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
alright what happend to your mom was wrong but thats only her side of the thing she could have refused the note pad who knows theres no evidence of what happend so as for your mom i dont care. but posting the thing about the cops talking to ea other about deaf ppl...you ignorant to try and twist there words like you did i read all the comments and found non of it to be offencive becaus non of it was meant to harm a deaf person so STFU
I think I understand what is going on in this video, but I don"t sign very well and I wish it had subtitles.
I was just telling a coworker that it horable that they make cops learn how to speak spanish so they can pull someone over or arrest them but they don't teach them how to communicate with the deaf.
If that's the argument then they need to learn every lang used in their area? That is completely ridiculous. I agree that communication is key. But how is it the cop's responsibility to learn every lange so he can talk to everyone he pulls over?
His first priority is safety. Their safety first, and then everyone else's. People don't help that when they start acting freaky or suspicious.
I think there needs to be a BASIC English requirement to drive. Just enough to communicate even a little bit
Whew, you are obviously behind! It is a language for the Deaf not gang signs. It is called American Sign Language and it has been around here since the 19th Century or possibly earlier.
Cops should know who is and isnt allowed to drive..simple as that.
On the argument that they shouldnt drive because they cant hear emergency vehicles...neither can a young person with a loud radio... when you lose one sense you get stronger in ur others..they could see them before we could... and about the use of the horn to avoid an accident...most accidents happen in splt seconds...no horn would help that.
Okay, they "should" know. They have lots of things they need to know, so if one cop said "I didn't know you could do that" - anything more than a personal flaw? How many times at work do you say "I didn't know that" and it was something you "should" have known. People have this idea that cops are supposed to be perfect and anything lacking is the WORST thing ever.
Right, but a young person listening to loud music can get ticketed because it's impairing their ability to hear emerg vehicles.
Why is it insulting that a cop didn't know deaf people could get a lic? Okay, he didn't know, now he does. It makes sense as to why he would think that, doesn't it?
Driving can be very dangerous and it essential that all drivers are aware and have all their senses alert.
It has nothing to do with hate against deaf people. It is a concern for the public safety. Nobody should be insulted by THAT.
My topic isn't about that! The cop did not question anything about Deaf people getting a license. Safety? Deaf drivers make excellent drivers and statistic shows that. Please read the transcript and make sure that you are getting it right. The whole point is that no effort is made by the cop to communicate with my mother.

In other case, driving 29 mph in 25 mph zone is speeding by the law.
Capsule21 2 years ago
That is not the point of my vlog. It is not about whether she sped or not, it is about not having an equal access to communication. When will you get it?

@avbria I'm hearing and i agree with you. Cops should have a notepad with them all the time or other means of communication with the df or hoh.

@Capsule21 To let you know that 29 in 25 is fine but if you are going 30 in 25 then it not fine. What I know from the sheriff office they said if the car is going 4 MPH more than speed limt will be ok.
kivfd15 1 year ago
@Capsule21 You are really offensive. Do you understand that? By LAW the cop should have allowed for an interpreter, and the cop lied on the ticket. He gave her the ticket without allowing her equal communication rights and probably took advantage of her. He could have written legibly, but he DIDN'T... A lot people try to take advantage of Deaf people in such situations and the cop was being a dick.

Well i am more of on the officer's side because i think he did his job right. Your mom is just made things difficulties for the officer and act all like a dumb and deaf person, not just being a deaf. I am deaf and i would have notepad and pen in the glove box ready to communicate in case if anything happens. This is where you learn in driving education, when you get pulled over by a cop. Take out the driver license and proof of registration. Mom vs cop - cop win!
Capsule21 2 years ago
First of all, my mom is not dumb. Secondly, not all Deaf persons have pen and pad ready. A police officer should be sensitive when it comes to communicating with the Deaf. Besides, there are stories when Deaf drivers reaching out for a paper and pen in the glove compartment getting beat up or even shot prompting them thinking that they are to get a gun. My mom is entitled to have access to communication and for you to dismiss this is a shame.

police have a note and paper , pen.
they don't pick a interpreter to come stop the car area they can't affrod to got interpreter for cost 45.00 dollar. and. . of coruse . they call to got an interpeter come to the court house. now everyone shut up. this video is past
Reprovedhornet 2 years ago
True but this officer refused to use it...interpreters are not to be expected immediately on the road, you are right however if you go to part II, the interpreter was not even provided for this Deaf Americans but immigrants so what do you make out of that? Besides this happened a bit more than a year ago not eons so it is not exactly ancient history.
avbria 2 years ago
That's so far comment. what wrong with you yourself. they establish the service for call to got an interpreter went to the hospital or court house, or meeting. you talk about outside could not pay for . if cop ask you want to pay for got interpreter?. cop gonna await for interpreter come to see you stop the care . it's gonna for 2 or 3 hours waiting. lol

What happened to your mom is awful. The constitution allows you the right to know what you are being charged with, even for a ticket. It doesn't say except for deaf people at the bottom. She has the right to be explained to her exactly what is going on and shouldnt be expected to guess because they are too lazy to accomidate her. Not right.

I'm deaf myself and have been learning ASL for two years now. After watching this video, I am so grateful that my mother raised me orally, so I wouldn't get into situations like this one, since Deaf people seem to rely on ASL interpreters all the time.
angelstar819 3 years ago
Well, my mother was raised orally, too. It doesn't make any difference for her though. If the cop was more considerate to communicate by speaking a bit slower or writing on a paper, it would be a totally different situation. When being faced in situations like this, anyone can become nervous or something as it can led to misunderstanding.
avbria 3 years ago
When it comes to dealing with a law especially in court, there is no way any Deaf people, oralists or not, understand everything which is why ASL interpreters should be requested.

Cop is right because officer told you that you can tell the judge about your problem with an officer. they provide hispanic interpreter becuz they can not read or speak in english.
you can read the ticket, that is why the officer felt that was not need an interpreter for you. anyway, did you win at the court??
Deafish 3 years ago
It is not what happened to me by the way. I am explaining what happened to my mom. Well, in case you didn't get what I said, I explained that the cop even refused to write what he said. Also did you know that it is a law to provide interpreters for the Deaf? Her rights were violated, simple as that. No one should tolerate the guessing game.
avbria 3 years ago
Does it really matter what, if anything, your mother could have communicated to the officer? In most cases, people make it worse by letting the officer know what they think happened. Just take the citation and state the case in court. The officer may have been rude, but it doesn't mean he wasn't right.

srogers08 3 years ago
Sucks for your mom. :( I saw Part II; unfortunately I didn't understand quite enough, but I hope it turned out well.
Still, you may be being a bit harsh on the cops in that particular police forum. Yes, there was some ignorance, but overall, they were just wondering if the deaf could drive and what problems they might encounter. Personally, I'd prefer people ask questions (however "dumb" these questions may seem)instead of making assumptions.
BTW, you look very pretty in Part II. :)
ATWolf89 3 years ago
I am just explaining what happened based on what my mother told me. She requested for a pen/paper and he simply refused. She requested for an interpreter and he again refused. How is he supposed to communicate with my mother? This is not an excuse for ignorance as it is just based on common sense!
Number two, it is not about whether if the Deaf can drive, jeez! FYI, all Deaf people are allowed to drive as long as they pass the test.
avbria 3 years ago
I understand. I should have mentioned that I am deaf too. _Of course_ we can drive... ;) ...also, I'm not trying to defend the particular cop your mother had to deal with. He was a jerk. I was referring to the policemen in the forum you posted. Even if they displayed a bit of ignorance (which really can't be helped, as you can't know what you've never been told), most of them recommended just having a notepad and pen handy, and being a bit more patient with deaf drivers.
ATWolf89 3 years ago
By the way, statistics show that they are better drivers than hearing people.

Hi. I am hard of hearing and vision impaired. Back in 1997 at night in Minnesota. I was riding my bike home and a squad car was trying to tell me to stop. but I couldnt hear a thing. Went though a red light. and cop turn on his over head lights. So I stop and wait for cop and he is rude. I told him i cant hear please write. he wouldnt. and decides to yell. Made me feel stupid. I had no idea what he is saying. police are stupid and cocky. I think they can do things better than that!
Sharky58 3 years ago
I've had something similar like that happen to a friend of mine, getting pulled over and the officer wouldn't provide any effort of communications..He knew me from somewhere and knew that I'm hard of hearing but also knows that I cannot interpret..I do not lip-read that well..I was with my friend..He literally yelled at me to tell my friend what he said. I refused, for two reasons...Yelling at me, and NOT making any effort to communicate properly.
Pisses me off!

Ok, if it's for the deaf only then it should not have appeared in the reccomended videos for the day on accounts of people who are not deaf, then I would never have come here. I thought that it was attempting to spread awareness of issues with the deaf to a wider audience and as such would have subtitles. I didn't know it was only to discuss within the deaf community (and as such should have been filtered from me).

Excuse me? It is a free server and I do whatever I wish as long as I follow the guidelines.

one more thing if you have read deaf in the tag, then you would or should know that it is for the deaf and/or by the deaf. Providing subtitles is very time consuming and it doesn't make my vlogging experience fun so the best I could do is to provide a summary or a transcript so please give me a break!
avbria 3 years ago
All the other videos should have sign language and cut out the audio, not being rude, but it's just wasting deaf people's computer power.
SmartGuyMan 3 years ago
Deaf people should not have a sound card at all then because just having a sound card would be the waste of power. Putting the sound card into D3 and turning it off can help to save some power, however sending audio to a computer that has sound disabled or off would not consume a measureable amount of power; so remove the sound card or disable and turn off the speakers if you want to save power.
tobyeo 3 years ago
I dont even use sound when compressing my video so the audio card is already off. Why are you worrying too much? You are not even paying for it.
avbria 3 years ago
The only thing that you could argue is the bandwidth of sending the larger streaming codec with the audio encoded. On the software side though once it receives the audio an audio codec could just bitbucket it completely and never decompress to save CPU resources.
But again, we have already established on this thread that this video is deaf only and I should never have come here, youtube screwed up by not putting on the correct segragation.

If that's the argument then they need to learn every lang used in their area? That is completely ridiculous. I agree that communication is key. But how is it the cop's responsibility to learn every lange so he can talk to everyone he pulls over?
His first priority is safety. Their safety first, and then everyone else's. People don't help that when they start acting freaky or suspicious.
I think there needs to be a BASIC English requirement to drive. Just enough to communicate even a little bit

Cops should know who is and isnt allowed to drive..simple as that.
On the argument that they shouldnt drive because they cant hear emergency vehicles...neither can a young person with a loud radio... when you lose one sense you get stronger in ur others..they could see them before we could... and about the use of the horn to avoid an accident...most accidents happen in splt seconds...no horn would help that.
thedoors8616 3 years ago
Okay, they "should" know. They have lots of things they need to know, so if one cop said "I didn't know you could do that" - anything more than a personal flaw? How many times at work do you say "I didn't know that" and it was something you "should" have known. People have this idea that cops are supposed to be perfect and anything lacking is the WORST thing ever.
Right, but a young person listening to loud music can get ticketed because it's impairing their ability to hear emerg vehicles.

Why is it insulting that a cop didn't know deaf people could get a lic? Okay, he didn't know, now he does. It makes sense as to why he would think that, doesn't it?
Driving can be very dangerous and it essential that all drivers are aware and have all their senses alert.
It has nothing to do with hate against deaf people. It is a concern for the public safety. Nobody should be insulted by THAT.
Tyzue 3 years ago
My topic isn't about that! The cop did not question anything about Deaf people getting a license. Safety? Deaf drivers make excellent drivers and statistic shows that. Please read the transcript and make sure that you are getting it right. The whole point is that no effort is made by the cop to communicate with my mother.
