TLDR: Asshole driver to cop after getting busted for going 51 mph in a 20 mph school zone.
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said an officer pulled over 62-year-old, Joy Feinberg, near the Hagen Road Elementary School in Boynton Beach, Fla., on Sept. 1, the Palm Beach Postreported. The officer issued the driver a $606 ticket for speeding in a school zone, Bradshaw told the Post.
On Wednesday, the sheriff's office posted a one-minute clip of the dash-cam footage with subtitles as well as the full 15-minute video on YouTube. In the longer video, Feinberg repeatedly asked the officer to let her off with a warning. When she realized that her attempt at "begging" had failed, she said, "You know what? No wonder you people get shot. You're absolute a*****es."
Bradshaw said the deputy was not rude to Feinberg, WSVN-TV reported. "There seems like there's this trend of disrespect when here's a deputy trying to save children's lives," Bradshaw told WSVN-TV. "And somebody has got to talk to us like that? I think it's unacceptable."

She is lucky she got off with being "unacceptable." Being mouthy has gotten more than a few Brown folks killed.
And I can't with this woman thinking she can speed in a school zone.

And not just speed. Go more than DOUBLE the speed limit! This was not a case of going 25 in a 20! 51 in a 20?! FIFTY ONE! That is a motherfucking small highway speed. I am not sure there is a single non-highway road in my entire city limits with a speed limit of 50. In a motherfucking school zone?!

In most places, they are REQUIRED to ticket you in a school zone. My dad's aunt was like 81 when she got her first speeding ticket, and the cop didn't want to have to write it because she was going like 26 in a 20, but it was a school zone.

We joke a lot around here about Boomers being entitled shits, but here it is in spades to a degree that even my fogey-hating heart finds shocking. Damn.

It sounds like she's pissed because the unmarked car means she didn't get to slam on the breaks so as to avoid the ticket. That, and she's an entitled ass (they come in all ages!)
Also, I mis-read this the first time and was equally horrified when I thought the deputy said this to the woman. It's sad that it was so easy to believe that's what happened.

Lol The cops are resorting to social media shaming to get their point across... This is probably far more horrifying to her and then getting the actual ticket, now everybody knows she's a bitch.

Can they do this or maybe the question is, should they do this? I mean using a video for public record at trial is one thing, but I'm not sure how I feel about a city resource used to shame the citizens paying for it.

You are right- probably not the most right/ethical/moral/responsible thing to do but it will also probably make a few people think twice about smarting off to officers if they know it's being taped.
I think the whole age of social media brings a new some new boundaries that we all need to be aware of anything we can/say/do could go viral & millions of people could see it....which is pretty scary.
