Hilarious clip of police driving around with a giant speaker on top of car yelling at motorist and pedestrians. Very Barney Fife!

  • Detroit should still do this!

  • HA! Great piece!

  • This is a fake video. They didnt raze him

  • If that was today, they would have stopped for donuts and come out to find their giant speaker had been stolen.

  • whatever happen to that VOICE OF SAFETY now a days instead its. COP: get the fuck out get the fuck out of yo car mister/nigar/wight trash or other slang words. they dont even say sir anymore fo that matter. @RetroRacer13

  • Neat film - you can see the guy who double parked shifting into first before taking off. Detroit was beautiful in those days. You can see the trolley cars.

  • "You've got to nip it. Nip it in the bud." -- B. Fife

  • "Red signal lights mean that pedestrians, as well as motorists, should stop and wait." - - - Dumbed down pedestrians would do well to learn from the reverse of this statement: If the cars on your side of the road have a green light, so do you. - - - It is surprising how many pedestrians will become entirely stranded if the pedestrian-specific signal isn't available or working properly. In any case, thanks for sharing and, as seattlekos said, I too can't help getting the Barney Fife vibe.

  • LOL they must've used this film for the inspiration for Barney Fife! I think 70 years later, we sure could use this voice of reason... but then again, someone would prolly pop a cap in his head just for good measure. Thanks for sharing this rare find!
