Florida man calls 911 complaining that cop took too long to write ticket

[UrbScotty]

A Collier County Deputy pulled over 29-year-old Judes Exantus of Immokalee for running a stop sign during a turn at Boston Avenue and 9th Street.

Exantus denied running through the stop sign but the deputy told him he watched him do it according to the report.

The deputy said Exantus started arguing with deputy and while the deputy was writing up the ticket, Exantus called the 9-1-1 center to complain about the deputy's delay.

The deputy admitted there was a delay created by the apparatus that creates the ticket however the call to 9-1-1 to complain warranted a miss-use of 9-1-1.

1. calling 911 sounds like a reasonable response

if you've been held at a traffic stop for over an hour with no explanation. That's what he says in the 911 call.

This tracks with the driving while black experiences some of my students have had while driving to school. They get pulled over for no reason and the cop walks away and becomes unresponsive. The entire goal seems to be to harass them for driving through a white neighborhood. In one case, one of my kids was pulled over, no explanation was given, the cop ran his license and gave it back, then told him to wait here - then walked back to his car and left! The kid was sitting in his car for half an hour just alone for no reason. Finally he cautiously drove off. I can only assume that was the point, to fuck with him.
