Ever been broke? So broke that you simply struggled to pay your automobile insurance coverage and knew that one sudden invoice, like a the price of changing a flat tire after hitting some particles on the highway, may tip you right into a monetary abyss?
If you realize what that appears like, you’ll have felt for a man seen in a brief video posted to social media and seen over 5 million occasions a few police visitors cease in Florida. We see the middle-aged man, carrying a plaid shirt and baseball cap, shouting at cops in exasperation, begging them to not tow his truck away.
“Let me push the factor, don’t tow it away, it’ll value me cash” he shouts. “I don’t have any cash, dude, I’m broke man, my life sucks, you’re making it worse.”
As he walks proper, and out of body, we hear him inform the officers: “You’re not good, you’re not cordial, you don’t give a **** about folks like [me]”

The phrases “felt this” have been superimposed over the TikTok video, and it’s onerous to not marvel if the police had been being heavy handed. When fuel costs and the price of residing have spiraled, this man could possibly be any of us.
However fortuitously, he isn’t. As a result of that is yet one more instance of social media solely exhibiting us a portion of a narrative, and permitting, and even encouraging us to make a judgment with out understanding the total story (or fuller story), which is now accessible on the Lively Police Cam YouTube channel.
It seems that the driving force, who had been pulled over for a faulty rear mild and license plate mild was on the wheel of a truck that on the time of the cease hadn’t been licensed or insured for nearly 12 years. Nobody likes paying for automobile insurance coverage, license charges or automobile repairs. And we get it, generally it’s not nearly making a alternative to not pay, it’s about merely not having the cash to pay. However to seems to be like this man actually has been taking liberties for years and years.
Livid that the police received’t let him push the automobile into a close-by parking zone the place he can prepare its restoration later, he refuses to signal a quotation, truly calls 911 on the police, after which resists arrest. In keeping with a narrative on Tire Meets Street, a few these costs had been finally dropped, leaving him with a invoice for $353, plus the towing and impound yard charges. Our guess is that truck’s not going anyplace in a rush. Which remains to be sort of unhappy, as a result of being broke sucks, however as anybody who’s ever been hit by an uninsured driver and been left to pickup the items will testify, it’s for the perfect.
