Asking Cops Their Own Questions

Asking Cops The Same Silly Questions They Ask Us I'VE BEEN I'M DETECTIVE YOU BEEN THIS PROPERTY INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST DRUGS ON YOU? MY PROPERTY! MY PROPERTY AND DO YOUR JOB

A handheld video shows a man in a blue shirt and tie confronting someone outside a police law-enforcement parking lot. He sarcastically reverses the officers’ intrusive questioning—asking whether they have been drinking or using drugs, claiming the property is his, and telling the detective to go back to his office and do his job. The joke is the pointed role reversal, with the officer becoming irritated when subjected to the same silly questions he asks civilians. The audio is a tense, angry spoken exchange with no notable music; the escalating back-and-forth and repeated phrases make the confrontation feel absurd and comedic.

Watching you take pictures of our parking lot. What's this about? Is that a problem? Yeah, this is a police law enforcement parking lot. That is a problem. Oh, who are you? I'm Detective Mike Jardee. Oh yeah? What are you working on? What are you working on right now? Several cases. Okay. It doesn't matter what I'm working on. I'm asking you, what are you doing here taking pictures? Where have you been today? Have you been here all day? Or have you been out and about a little bit? What is this about? Okay, okay. Have you been to the bar at all today? No, you got any drugs on you? Have you used any drugs today? What a ridiculous question. Would you submit to a breathalyzer for me right now? You're ridiculous. You know that? You got about five minutes to get out of here right now. Or what? You're on my property. This isn't your property. Shut the hell up. Get out of here now. What'd you say? I said shut up and get out of here. No, you get out of here now. Get your butt back in your office and do your job. You shut up and get out of here. You get your butt back in your office and do your job.
