St. Petersburg Police giving tickets for honking horn

[thudson99]

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I can't believe they would cut up the only thing they have. Where are they suppose to go now? And those that weren't there at the time could've been looking for work! Whoever decided this raid was okay, needs to go homeless for a week minimum!!!

[the6stringassassin]

baywalk can burn!!! it shouldve never been allowed to be privatized. downtown st pete isn't that damn special!! since i've been down here, i've come to learn that st ptersburg,fl is nothing more than a haven for drug dealers, drug users, sex offenders, child molesters, rapists, prostitutes, last, but not least, too many f'in old people on meds that get out and drive!!!!!!

[SubconsciousDweller]

Honking your Horn is Illegal..???? .Welcome to America!!!!???

[oogiemaster]

What has America becoming? I guess soon it'll be a crime to breath or snore, or even clear your throat!

[Skrubybrother]

LOL at 2:07, I know how ya feel man, I live here.

[muta157]

I love how the cops don't do anything to the protestors....oh look at Baywalk interupting business as usual.

[Pfsif]

Police= brainless thugs working for the government mafia.

[Gulfporter]

Your horn is emergency equipment. It's not to let your friend know you are in the driveway or that you like what someone has on his sign. Didn't your mother tell you that?

PS- No wonder they didn't want you outside Baywalk. You're noisy.

[maicon9]

thats excesive honking lmao.iono i think i woulda went to jail that night for such a ridiculous ticket. really would fuck the police. and they think we hate them coz we want to. nah nigga you make us.you claim we the criminals when you the one that made me biaaaaaaatch

[Sreewtyui]

FUCK THE PIGS... DEVILS CHILDREN

[leafsoup]

Baywalk sidewalks are now private. People getting arrested and shit like that will be a lot easier to enforce. No more performers, no more protests.

[Gulfporter]

@leafsoup There can be protests every night- in the public square. There is a public square at Williams Park, Straub Park, Vinoy Park, SOmebaseballdumbass Field, etc...

[benman333]

fuck that.. Cops don't need to act like that. how is that in any way necessary for a person to get a ticket for that. Cops are ridiculous. I, just now, got a ticket at 12:00 am in the morning on a monday night, tuesday morning for parking on the opposite side of the road in a neighborhood of three houses.. now tell me if cops aren't ass holes?

[danimal9579]

Some are A-holes because look at who they have to deal with.

[Markle0125]

St. Pete cops are assholes

[Markle0125]

I know every town has a dickhead for a cop ... but I live in St. Pete and the cops are really nothing but fat dickhead pricks who fuck with everyone ... you cant breathe wrong in that fucked up city ... maybe thats why St. Petesburg is named the 2nd meanest city in Florida.

[Gulfporter]

@Markle0125

You must be in the white zone. At 22nd Ave and Ninth you can put loudspeakers outside your business and blast the street, and sell drugs out of the gas station while the cops sit right there and do nothing.

[Impalaalex]

Call me whatever you want, I believe in freedom of speech don't get me wrong, but at the same time do it within the law, because believe it or not people who honk their horns are not really doing it for the cause but for attention and thats why it's only purpose is to use for HAZARD purposes only. And no my hippie friends I don't believe in wars at all!!!!!! Thank You

[aug1206]

those people were honking in support of the protesters who were being caged in - they didn't honk to get attention. just like when you clap at a football game - you're clapping for the team not for yourself. and "freedom" of speech should be just that - free, otherwise it's a contradiction in terms.

[Impalaalex]

it's only legal to honk your horn to avoid an accident, and thats everywhere dumb asses!

[aug1206]

hey Impalaalex - what kind of "freedom" is that? honking a horn gets you arrested? you hypocrite - i bet you agree w/the wars in afghanistan and iraq because you think we're bringing "freedom" to them.

[moomoogod]

they're makin alot more noise than the horns, and they're doing it for hours on end. yet the drivers get tickets? they're protesting too. seriously. thats sick. and they DO make up the rules and everytime they DO change, because i've dealt with the SPPD a few times. its sick. and wrong. and they're violating his rights, hes protesting, i mean, hes not doing it for HOURS ON END on foot, with hundreds more, but, because hes in a vehicle, they screw him in any way they can.

corruption.

[clockmover]

727 fuck the pigs

[jeffkid101]

i hate cops tht abuse their power

[LO00OOOOL]

this isn't Saint Petersburg, there's only one St. Petersburg and it is IN RUSSIA.

[44774477ric]

Fascist mother fuckers its a fascist takeover of our country look at these shaved headed fuckin ex military pigs on steroids.......time to rise up and kick the fascist out of our country.....and kick hard the fuckers have takin root!!!!!!!

[montoyams]

Get over it, you can't have your cake and eat it too!

[sk8oholic666]

What good is a fucking cake you can't eat?

[YamiAisha]

hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lexy015]

yea cops can do that. its to bad, but using your horn to much is traffic offence

[qv76]

Disrupting the peace, using the horn illegally. Now you know

[SnarlyCharly44]

but all those protesers aren't "disturbing the peace?" it doesnt look too peaceful there in the 1st place...

[imanerd36]

Honking your horn in this case is clearly freedom on speech, which overrules violations such as disturbing the peace(Cohan v. California.)

[perfidious2]

I wana be a cop just to give you fuckers tickets.

[mustange550]

Disturbing the peace. Thats why she got a ticket.

[LuvNewYork2]

Is this BAYWALK?/ Drop me a message the next time there's some type of protest. By the way how do you find out when protest are held?

[bbb011420789]

Hello? that would be agressive driving. If you don't like America, leave

[gulfportvc]

and Don't ticket kids for loud car music???

[gulfportvc]

come on ticket for honking a horn??? And these SP cops don't even give these punk kids for their loud car music???? what a kind of crap is this????

[200103511]

I'd say, it's total crap!!!!

[NYTDDS]

As for the part at the end. The noise thing.. Business make money. You guys are protesting. Not making money, on bay walks property might I add. Hence why they can make noise and you cannot I assume? Sucks doesnt it.. But yes I do agree that cop giving a ticket for honking a horn... He'd be a better Jerry Springer Guest Security Personel then a COP.

[cdpresx582]

The protesting is on PUBLIC property, not Baywalk property. Such actions are protected by the U.S. Constitution.

[NYTDDS]

oh boy... are you a liberal. I speak of true freedom. Polotics are reatrded. But it looks like they are on baywalk property.

[imanerd36]

You are allowed to protest on private property, Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins, 447 U.S. 74 (1980)

[TQXPreturns]

that was so stupid come on. she was supporting the cause and not messing with anyone.

[DrYarkish]

Uh, she got a ticket because it is a vehicle code violation to honk your horn unless there is an emergency or to avoid a collision, not because of noise.

[fume2000]

are you serious?

[Ez2nV168]

sadly i think its a law here in Florida that you cant honk your horn more then 3 time in a row or for more then 5 sec ive been pulled over for it and having my stereo to loud witch is also i law u cant be able to hear it over 25 feet witch it 2 reasons i alos would like to say FUCK THE POLICE!!!

[blaster21996]

Ez2nV168.... If it is the law, well, obey it! If you do not like it, change the law! If you are in the minority of the folks who dislike the law, well the only option is to move to another state! Either way, good luck idiot!!!!!

[Ez2nV168]

oh stfu DOUCHE!!! ill listen to the music as loud as i want and if i have to pay a $80 ticket every now and then o well. if it pisses off doushes like you i dont care. thank you come again

[blaster21996]

Ez2nV168...... This vid is a waste of server space! And you are a waste of flesh! If you pull up next to me at a light with that garbage thumping, you will get what I give to all you inconsiderate wigger wanta b's! Bring it on girl! I'll make you scream!

[Ez2nV168]

rofl. im done with you.

[fume2000]

yea you are right about that man..25 feet that sucks and i have 2 15s in me jeep

[StijnMartens]

Fuck the Police !!!!

[abc7536]

She should call the ACLU for help on fighting the ticket. I think honking a horn is protected under 1st amend. because it is part of a political protest.

[niuchemist]

To a certain extent. I think you'd agree that you don't have the right to constantly honk a horn (especially at night), because it's disturbing the peace.

But from what I see here, it looks like their first admendment rights were being violated. I'd take a ticket like that to court.

[abc7536]

She has a vidoe of it so she can show that it is political and not just the cop doing his job. The clubs have music so loud you can hear it in the street, but the cops did nothing. The political element is what can get her off.

[abc7536]

Pluss Florida cops have a history of abuse.

[cezayerliplaka93]

This isn´t St Petersburg... There´s no palms there

[ZDVids]

Its St.Petersburg Florida DUH!!

[redash2006]

so where is it then

[jonskyeagle]

The police some brave MF's

[edogriff]

facist ? are you kidding

[VideoFish]

That lady was waay out of line honking her horn like that

Geeeeeez! Good thing those "police" were on the scene to serve and protect!
