The Viktor Wilt Show

It's the Victor Wilt Show. The cops have arrived or at least one. He didn't notice when he was in here. Don't tell him. Enforcing the rules, buddy.

Oh, that's what you cops do. Yep. You know, enforcing the rules. You told me what the rules are. We're gonna enforce them.

Well, he he's not listening right now because he's in the hallway. He's not gonna know what rule was broken. I'm a rebel. You are. I'm a rebel.

Well, how are you doing? I'm doing better now. I caught you breaking the rules. Well, at least you can't ticket me for that one. All you can do is snitch to management, and then then, I'll get a talking to, but I won't have to pay.

I'm gonna give you a demerit. I'll get a public shaming from Jade. Shame. Shame on you, boy. Well, I hope you're ready for some traffic school action.

I am. I am. Because without rules, it's chaos. It is. So we need to let people know the proper rules to obey.

And maybe you're out there new to the area, and you're like, I don't understand these rules around here. Just please don't call and ask us how to use a, roundabout or if you can turn right on a red light. We've covered it enough. If you don't know by now, you deserve the tickets. Alright?

Or if we don't have callers, call just so we can make fun of you and ask those questions. Yeah. I mean, you can call and ask us anything. It it doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be traffic law related, but we do try to, you know, educate the community and that kind of stuff.

I did have an interesting thing happened to me coming in today. Alright. Yeah. So let's hear it. So I'm in the left hand lane, the passing lane.

Car on the inside lane, the travel lane. Mhmm. We're approaching an on ramp. K. Whose responsibility is it to merge into traffic?

The person on the on ramp. The person on the on ramp. The guy in the travel lane wants to move over to the left where I'm at Yeah. To let the person on the ramp Okay. On the highway.

He has given me the look of, like, you idiot. Get out of the way. I have to move. And I'm, like, no. I take it you were in your personal vehicle.

No. I'm in my, I'm in my work car, but I had the cruise control set. They they were giving you the look. My my work car doesn't look like a regular state police car. Oh, okay.

Okay. And so but, yeah. He's looking at me like, you are an idiot. You need to get out of my way because I have to get out of his way. And I'm just like no no it's the risk no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no I made a stand today, buddy.

That's right. Putting your foot down. Boy, if that didn't change the world. Oh, I hope that guy's listening. Yeah.

He's kinda calling a complaint. There was some guy who would not merge over so I could let the people in. You trooper think you're funny. You ain't held accountable? Were you driving in the hat?

No. I should've been, though. Yeah. Because She just reached over and grabbed it, put it on. You should've.

That would've been real funny. I am very happy that we already have somebody on hold ready to ask us a question for traffic school. Thank you to this caller. You're an all star. Who's this?

And you do not win a prize. If you don't get a prize, you just get a pat on the back. And getting a pat on the back for Victor means something. Yeah. That I I don't do that for just anybody.

Well, I appreciate it. Who's this? Dusty. Dusty, what's up, man? So, you guys were talking about, you know, people need to yell to get onto the interstate.

That actually happened to me, yesterday. I was coming into, Pocatello, and, here comes a Pocatello Cop, and he's just coming on to the interstate. And he thought I should yell for him. I didn't, and he came right at me and almost hit me. I had to swerve into the next lane.

Well, now I'm getting off, into Pocatello, and he follows me and starts running my license. They'll let anyone be lawmen these days, won't they? I think I heard it's pride or something. Dustin, I'll tell you what, you just made Victor's week. He's been waiting all week for an opportunity to give me one.

Yep. Note to, the Pocatello Police. It's the responsibility the law. Of those on the on ramp That's great. To merge without disrupting traffic.

Right. I'm not driving to Pocatello anytime soon. So Yeah, Dusty. Know if I should stop and go to Dust Bros and get him a coffee and calm him down or what? He got tipped over his Cheerios.

Yeah. Nice try, badgeman. I think this is a setup, Dusty. I think he called Victor, and he like, man, I got something. You can use your little puns that you have stored away for the week.

Oh, man. He was swerving around cars to just get onto my butt to run my license plate. I was like, well, I'm really feeding your cereal. Sure. Wow.

That is that's too funny. Well, I think you guys Dusty? Thanks for being honest because you're the first one that's ever said you bit harassed by the cops. No. I've never heard that before.

I mean, it started at a young age, you know? But this sounds legit. Oh, it is. Man. Well, thank you for the laugh, Dusty.

You're welcome. I hope you have an awesome weekend, man. You're good. With only three charges. We'll talk to you soon, man.

Alright. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Is this a Pocatello Police Officer? No. It is not.

Who's this? No. This is Ethan. Ethan, what's up, man? Hey.

So I had a quick question for you. So are you guys familiar with the, the traffic pattern change on Curlew And Seventeenth? Curlew and Seventeenth traffic pattern chain. I I don't know. They they've been doing so much road work.

That's just past Seventeenth. Right? Yeah. So it's, like, right in front of Sonic. Yeah.

Yep. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a mess. Yeah. I'll let That's your I'll let's do it to you guys on that. You could ask him about an intersection in Chester, and he'd be like, oh, yeah. It's a complete disaster.

These people don't know what they're doing. They'll never get the road work done. Why isn't anybody as smart as me? That's right. So so my question is so I was over there a couple days ago, and I saw, so you're not allowed to go into in into the neighborhood on Curlew going south, but you can go out going north.

I saw two cars going straight through, but there was, like, there was a cop behind them. And I was just wondering what are the circumstances of why the cop wouldn't pull him over for that? Just plum lazy. Because They'll let anyone be the lawman these days, won't they? It it wasn't Dusty?

I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. If it was Dusty, he'd been on the shoulder, man. We'd had him out and prone, but Oh, yeah.

No. Hey. So it's discretion. Right? I don't know if they were headed to another call.

I don't know if they had something else going on. I don't know why they didn't stop them. We see violations all the time. We couldn't stop them all. But, when you see you know, there's been stops I've made that I've got other places I need to be and go, and it happens right in front of you with a lot of people.

You go make the stop and say, hey. Listen. I had to make this stop because you put me in a bad place in front of a lot of people. I've got other things I need to do, but you need to do better when there's a police car around. Right?

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I wouldn't have the answer unless I talked directly to that officer, but I would hope that he was headed to something that may had a little more importance. Oh, okay. Gotcha.

And I will tell you, around Idaho Falls and Ammon, those guys, their call log is backed up. They're going from call to call. They're busy. Gotcha. And so Okay.

They do have traffic, team, and and it probably wasn't the guy on the traffic team, and he's probably just trying to get to his next call. Gotcha. Alright. Well, that makes sense. Well, I appreciate the the answer, guys.

Thank you. Hey. Thanks, Dusty. You have a good one, man. Yep.

You too. Bye. K, Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Are you planning on throwing the Rexburg police under the bus?

Because we've got Pocatello in Idaho Falls down. No. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. I'm getting ready for my weekend. Hey.

The sun's starting to shine, Victor. That means car shows coming out. That means that means those old guys are gonna start coming out with their moldy money. So what up, crazy Carl? Did you know I'm pushing 402 horse over this car?

Yeah. I actually, I checked the air pressure in these tires before I come down here today. They were all 35. Oh, man. No.

I'm, I'm really happy that they bumped it back to, March 7 instead of the fifteenth because that was my wife's birthday. And last year, I was like, well, honey, here's a hundred bucks. I'll take you to dinner later. Sorry. That's what you do?

Here's a hundred bucks? Yeah. I was gone all weekend, dude. She she's good about it. Boy, you just you just messed up my opportunity.

My wife's probably listening. I don't think I'm gonna get away with going, here, honey. Here's a hundred bucks. She'd be like, yeah. Not the one that made it.

Exactly. Oh, man. Oh. So I I got another two wheeler question. Oh, I just want to reiterate, all the kids in my neighborhood.

There's, like, seven of them running around in motorcycles. I wanna reiterate that. Yeah. This now on our program. Yeah.

Is there any 13 anymore. No. But, no. My my hat's off to their parents for at least they're wearing helmets. I mean, they're they're being safe about it.

They listen to the program. That's right. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.

Neighbor. Carl's just listening to the program. So, so my question is is playing it at the old folks' home. No. Oh, you called on the wrong day, Carl.

No. I did. Unhinged today. You guys driving. It's fine.

So, without registering a vehicle or titling it, is it 49 c c's and under you can drive without having insurance and registration for, like, a moped? For for register, yes. It's anything under 49 c c's and under. That's correct. It's 49.

So so I just need to swap out my Pinto with the 49 cc's and I'm gonna go. Yourself. That's what you're running. Yeah. I didn't know it.

Just because you got to your old tires, I'll tune in at 35 PSI. That's what made you got more power. They're still getting 80 miles to the gallon, though. Yeah. That blinker fluid, man, it's right on that bubble.

Exactly. Oh, it's awesome. Oh, man. Right on. Well, sweetie, you guys, you guys coming down to the show next weekend?

Boy, I sure not. No. You know what? You wanna take those off ramps in Pocatello. Yeah.

Cops are waiting for you. Exactly. Well, we hope the the show goes well, Carl, and always good to hear from you. One step out of the old folks home, Carl. I bought me a vintage car.

Yeah. I know. You guys crack me up, man. I love this show. I I look forward to it every week, man.

No doubt. Well, thank you. Thank you. You're Great. You guys have a good weekend, man.

We'll talk to you soon. Hey. You too, Carl. Good to hear from you, man. You too, man.

Bye. Alright. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for. Traffic school powered by the advocates. We had people calling, and I I don't know if they're like, these guys are just too out of control today.

I'm like, I don't wanna put up with their crap. It would be nice. What they're saying is, oh, man. Carl's car shows are starting to leak. I hear about them every single week.

We get it. They're gonna be down at the local ice cream store parked in the parking lot. I won't be able to get through the drive through. Oh, man. What's you know, everybody having to drive through parking lots to get to their neighborhoods and all that?

Carl, you and your car shows, man, are gonna cause problems. Don't use the Walmart parking lot, please. Maybe they could start holding those just at the old folks' home. I think the old folks would enjoy it. Yeah.

What do they gotta do? Yeah. They're just sitting around being old. You know? They need some entertainment.

Probably having to put up with some other crazy old person babbling on about, you know, some kind of nonsense. Show them some cool cars at least. Yeah. Again, (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. Let's go to the phones here.

K Bear, you're live on the show. Who's this? This is Clinton. Clinton, what's up, man? Hey.

I'm doing the speed limit today. Enforcement work Good for you. Yeah. And I'm not calling to razz the officer for, his train horn again. But you know, when they when you pull into the intersection and there's not an actual turn lane, is it illegal to pull up next to somebody that's turning left and to turn right?

Okay. So you got single lane lieutenant crane. There's not a Yeah. Particular turn lane. Can you squeeze to the side of somebody to make a turn?

As long as you don't have to drive up on the curb, if there's a curb there, you can use Yeah. That's okay. Taking somebody's went up over the curb sometimes. Yeah. You feel that.

And then, the other thing would be if there's no curb there, if all four tires don't go off the pavement, you can do that. Oh, okay. Alright. Alright. There you go, Clinton.

Enjoy getting to your destination about five seconds faster. Yeah. That's it, dude. Alright. Thanks.

Hey. Thanks, man. You have a good one. You too. Peace.

(208) 535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Do you got anything new you wanted to let the community know about? Springtime's coming. One thing I noticed yesterday is a lot of motorcycles out. Everybody's enjoying the sun.

It's early. Be aware. Most people aren't gonna be watching for two wheeled motorcycles. So motorcycle riders ride defensively. Drivers just always use caution.

Be looking. Take two looks. Alright. Are you, experiencing any allergies? My eyes are itching.

Okay, dude. When when I walked in here, I don't know. About an hour after I got here, my allergies was just went insane. I was like sneezing and coughing and eyes watering, had to take an allergy med. It seems to be helping, but, yeah, I'm wondering what is happening in this building.

Somebody's poisoning you. Yeah. Jay, it is poisoning us. K, Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Dusty again. Dusty. What's up? Just trying to get away from those folks' telecast. I just so happen to be pulled over right now.

Hey. Put him on the line. No. I had a question. So how motorcycles, in bigger states go between, traffic?

Is that legal in Idaho? Bigger states. Like Texas? Shoot. Sure.

I don't know. I've seen it on the, like, Internet where, you know, motorcycle goes between Yeah. Parked cars to the light. It's called lane splitting. Idaho?

It's called lane splitting. Lane splitting. Yeah. Yeah. And it's it's illegal here in Idaho.

California, where it's super dangerous, they love it. Alright. Yep. When when it comes to, bureaucracy, don't hope for a lot of things that make sense. So That is very true.

So, yeah, unfortunately, you can't do that, but you can ride at 80 miles an hour, without a helmet. Right, Lieutenant Grant? You can't. If you're over 18, just years of age. Just don't go between any cars.

You wanna talk to the Yeah. You might hit one of those mirrors off those, Dodges. They like to have their, mirrors way out. Oh, man. Yeah.

You gotta be cautious, man. Yeah. Some of Yeah. Do you need a Zyrtec? No.

I I I got meds, man. Battle through this. You want some pills, man? I got some pills. Local drug dealer.

I got Zyrtec. I got vitamin d. I got omeprazole. I got all kinds That's good stuff, man. Ibuprofen.

The Zyrtec did help. It did help. I'm leaving it a little bit. I recommend getting out of here. I don't know.

The room must be, poisoned by dusty or something. Some, anyway. Hey. It's warming up. Yeah.

And I I'm guessing that's part of it. You know, maybe we've got a leak in the roof, and I I don't know. We're infested with mold or something. I don't know what's going on, but it's horrible in here. I don't smell anything, but I'm certainly feeling Well, I smell you, but hey.

You know what? I showered this morning. Okay? Maybe the hoodie's been on for a few days, but come on. Well, thanks, Dusty.

Good luck with the Pocatello Cops, and, hope you have a good one. You too. Thank you. Yes. Remember, the answer is always yes, sir.

That's right. Thanks, man. Thank you. Peace. I'm really trying to figure out what happened around here.

I think somebody did do some cleaning around here, so maybe they used a new kind of cleaning supply or something. Purpose. All purpose cleaner. All purpose brutalizer. Done it on purpose.

Oh, yeah. They're like, we gotta get him out of here somehow. Let's just make sure he's tortured right when he walks in. Miserable. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.

Earlier, I read a story about some thieves who had stolen a credit card and bought a bunch of lottery tickets with it, and they ended up winning the lottery. The owner of the, credit card was willing to split the jackpot with them. No. That's a smart guy. I mean, this was obviously in another country.

I don't think in America people would be willing to split the, the prize with the thieves. That's a win win because not only do you get part of the winnings, but you also get all your stuff back that you don't have to try to call and cancel all your cards to get your driver's license back. We're damn great. If only somebody could break into my vehicle and I somehow get a big fat payout out of it, that'd be fantastic. Parked.

Parked. Yeah. I need to start parking it, I think, a little closer to Sunnyside. So maybe somebody will happen to veer off the road and smash into it. Maybe I could get a new one.

You know? We were out, in Jackson on my birthday one day, and one of our employees called and said, yeah. I've never done this before, but our van's gone. So the trade off was this, not near as good as this guy from a foreign country. The trade off was this.

It had tools and equipment in it. When we got the van recovered, all that was gone, and we had a BMX bike. Tools, but you gotta sweeten the ride out of it. Extra wheels, man. That employee only had to ride that for a year.

Hey. Those bike cops, you know, they they can get a lot done. They're very sneaky. You know, just all of a sudden, there's a cop there. You don't hear them coming or anything.

Where's your bell, boy? That's right. They should have to have extremely bright flashing lights at least on those bikes. Are are bike cops even still a thing? Yeah.

In some places. Okay. I remember them all over the place when I was in high school in Pocatello, but, I remember down where you guys used to sneak off to smoke your stuff. Oh, jeez. Oh, jeez.

That was the other kids in high school. Those are the kids that weren't into rock and roll. Metal. I remember there was one bike cop, and he was so intimidating because he was massive. He was, you know, like, Peach's height and just just looked like a pro wrestler.

And he rolled up doesn't? So different than what Peach's looked like? No. Peach's got kinda more of the Andre the Giant style look. This guy was like, you know, Hulk Hogan or something.

He was he was very scary when he'd roll up on that bicycle, you know, when people were out in the school parking lot doing who knows what. Yeah. Those rebels. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. We'd love to have your questions.

I would, I'd hate to open this door maybe, but I'm kinda interested. I'd like to hear another story on how I was done wrong by the cops. Like, like That's a good story. Those are fun. Yeah.

I like that. I mean, I've told all mine way too many times. So we need fresh news stories of the cops, you know, doing you wrong, doing you wrong, to we can explain why. Yeah. We but we'd love to.

Yeah. I got all kinds of reasons. I can speculate all day. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. Trying to think if I had any stupid questions.

I mean, I'm trying to avoid, some of the recent political stuff that's happened. I mean, we do have a lot of, potential new laws passing. I I had a good question asked of me, this week. Okay. And I told him, hey.

Gonna have to call on Friday, but they asked it anyway. What we have here is a total lack of respect. Yeah. You want your questions answered by the police. This is where you get them answered.

And the question was this. You have a youth or anybody driving on a permit, and, does the adult in the car that's overseeing the permit driver have to be conscious? Or Conscious. So in other words, not wasted. Yeah.

Can they be drunk and passed out in the passenger seat? I'm guessing they're supposed to be alert. They're supposed to be alert. Alright. And just a note to you terrible parents out there, Your kids can't, you know, drive you to and from the bar hammered.

That meant for this day. That's the only reason I had kids. Hi, caller. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Hey. I got a story about the cop didn't really do me wrong, but I thought he was gonna do me right. My air pressure, my back rear was down to 32 pounds. Man, I was it's Friday night. I'm two days away from turning Monday, I could've gone down, got my license, take the driving test.

I've already taken the written. I'm babysitting my uncle's house. He's in Reno, and I find the keys to his '69 Camaro. I called everybody out. Of course you did.

Yeah. To where my love for cops. There. I mean, that that was his fault. He left the g's on the kitchen table, man.

Classic cars, cops, and handcuffs. Oh, man. So I A wild lemon. My buddy Allen. I call my buddy Allen up.

I'm like, what do I do? He goes, you come get me is what you do. So we're cruising up and down the stretch. He was 14. I mean oh, I'm we were we we weren't doing the speed limit either.

So Let me ask my mom. I get I get pulled over. We're two blocks away from my uncle's house. Literally, two blocks on Pershing. And the cop is like, what are you doing in Jim's car?

And I'm like, oh, I found the keys on the counter. And he's like, how about you take this home and we don't see you again tonight? And I'm thinking, cool. He's gonna let me go. This cop's cool.

He knows my uncle. Nope. Got it. Driving without a license ticket. And, yeah, that was the start of 18 traffic violations from the time I was 16 till I was 18.

Every time I drove, the Pocatello police like, there's Carl again. Let's light him up. That become my love of classic cars and wild women and the cops. Oh, man. Yeah.

I thought, I knew troublemakers when I was that age, but jeez, Carl. Hey, Carl. I gotta share this with you. You wanna talk about cops being in the wrong? My cousin rate was raised in Chubby, and they had a duster four forty duster with whatever motorant that's supposed to be fast.

Oh, yeah. The four forty. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

Four forty duster. So they he's coming down off the hill from Highland down into Chubbock at a 10 miles an hour Whoo. To the residential. Wow. The cops see him.

Oh, boy. And, believe me, they stop him. They they take him for reckless. Right? And, Oh, yeah.

He loses his driver's license, and it's suspended for a year. Oh. Well Right. There was only one duster, a four forty duster in the town of Chubbock. But every time he would drive it, he would get stopped and cited for driving while suspended and get his car towed.

And he and his parents were dead set that, they're picking on him. Yeah. They're picking on him. No. No.

There's only one duster. And, everybody knows who he is now. Right? You've made a name for yourself. Yeah.

Yeah. You'd think that, people breaking the law would learn that the more anonymous you can be, the better your chances. Halo. Exactly. So I bought that 72 pin o, man.

Nobody looks at a pin o. What I've learned from these two stories is don't mess around with Pocatello or Jubbock Police because they're out there. They'll get you. Dude. Oh, yeah.

They if they pull you over, sometimes they might not be very happy about it. They're on top of their game. Oh, so so quick question. What what is the speed limit that you guys call off at Chase? I mean, like, if you're on the freeway, you know, dude's doing a 50, you just call it in and wait for the next I mean, you can't outrun the radio, obviously.

That's very true fact. And I I'm glad you brought this up. This is a good topic to talk talk about, and we don't let the pursuit justify the pursuit. And anytime it puts a public in more harm's way than the need to apprehend, we shut it down. Right.

Right. And but we do notify those around us. Yeah. And in this day and age, there are so many cameras everywhere. Yeah.

Like, yeah, you're you're gonna get caught. Right. Right. And and it's not worth the liability you're putting on yourself as the suspect or because if you cause, you know, some kind of crash still running or whatever, that call comes back on you. You'll never pay that off in your lifetime.

Especially when you're fighting against the advocate's injury attorneys. You know? You you get hit by a guy that's running from the cops and the guy the victim gets a hold of the advocates. That that guy's gonna have a bad time. That's called kaching.

Exactly. Yeah. Big bucks. Yep. Well, thanks.

Thanks, Carl, and, hope you have a a good car show. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Oh, and, by the way, we we used to have it at Starbucks. There's a wall to wall parking lot right next to the store Starbucks in, Bugcillo.

And we started filling the lot. We started getting more and more members in, and people getting Starbucks coffee are serious about getting their coffee. We had to bail out of that parking lot because, yeah, we had a couple near misses in the parking lot, man. These people need to switch to decaf. We we had a couple of guys pushing on the bumper that one trying to get a push started.

Yeah. Right. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't mess with people trying to get their coffee, man. I mean, you see me in the morning. Like, it's not good. It's no. No.

It was not. Yeah. No. We had to we had to bail out of that parking lot because, yeah, they're seriously angry. Well, good luck at the, new location, Carl.

And Oh, yeah. Hope you have an awesome weekend, man. Oh, you too, man. You guys have a good one, man. We'll talk to you soon.

Right on. Bye. See you. Alright. Alright.

If there's any final callers, now is the time. (208) 535-1015 for traffic school powered by the advocates. No. I I mean, I don't have anything else I was gonna ask that comes to mind, but I'm very distracted by the brutal allergies investing this room. I'm just a little bit, little bit out of whack by what whatever is going on in here.

I hope you make it through the day. I should be okay. I took my Zyrtec. My show should be powered by Zyrtec. You know, these pharmaceutical companies, they got a lot of money.

Come on. Represent Zyrtec. Please get a hold of us now. Yeah. I'd be happy to endorse, that that product.

It works pretty good. K Bay are you live on Traffic School powered by the advocates? Who's this? This is Jake. Jake, what's up, man?

Sorry for you on the cops doing me dirty. Please say it's Rexburg, and I got the mugshot to prove it. No. So it was Idaho Falls or Am, and I don't know. I'll let you make the determination there.

Ammon is Idaho Falls. They like to pretend they're their own place. Just playing, Hammond. Just playing. So I'm 16 to 17 years old on, on New Year's Day, so December 31.

You know? And, I've done it. Leaning towards the cops. Exactly. They dumb and dirty, but these two first bullet points I've done nothing wrong yet.

That's correct. Alright. So me and my friends were at the time at my parents' house and doing whatever teenagers do on New Year's after, you know, after, you know, 12:00. Some stuff I don't have to divulge unless I'm required by the judge. So I'm along that line.

So after everybody's done being excited, it's my responsibility to take everybody home because not everybody was driving at the time. And so one of the first friends I drop off was all the way on the Far East Side of Ammon. So I go down Seventeenth the whole way. And, I go where cops don't hang out very often. They're never on Seventeenth.

It's a it's a neighborhood. It was a newly developing neighborhood at the time. But we go in, drop him off, and on the way out, it's one of those four way intersections, you know, where you know houses are gonna be on the corners, but there weren't any yet. So I could see hundred plus yards in each direction. No need to stop.

So yes. So I'm like, you know what? It doesn't matter. It may and my friend's like, you know, there's a stop sign there. And I may have said something to the effect of, you know, not in favor of the police.

Let's just say something like that. And, bullet point number three. Yeah. There's no there's no police there. Nobody was there.

And nobody. Not a soul. So I start heading back towards the West side of town on 17. So at this point, I'm over past Ammon Road. So then past Holmes on 17 heading west, I get pulled over by a police officer.

So this has been ten, fifteen minutes at this point, and I get pulled over. There's a rat. There's a rat. One of your friends is a snitch, dude. Yep.

Probably. So he gives me the whole you know, back at this intersection, and I didn't know the road names. I'm like, I'm sure you're right. I probably just didn't see the stop sign wherever you're referring to. And I told my friends, I don't respect you.

I was smart enough not to tell him that. But so I get Fuller. He gives me a ticket for running a stop sign. And I'm like, alright. I think that's it.

I mean, next thing I know, some strange dude just walks up to me, not in a uniform or anything, just some guy in a shirt and pants. And it's like, you know, it was an off I'm an off duty police officer. You were in my neighborhood being reckless. And, like, I'm thinking to myself, what is this guy doing outside on New Year's Day now watching for traffic on his day off or at least his time off? We live it.

We live it every moment. Sound like something that sound like something that happened in Coeur D'Alene A Few Days ago. But he was mad enough about it that he followed me all the way from that interstate. He ran home, got in his car, decided to follow me all the way down to Seventeenth or down Seventeenth until somebody could pull me over. Did he get the zip ties out?

No. He did not. Okay. Listen. It's not over until justice is served.

Justice was served. And unlike the last guy, that's my only traffic violation. Now if somebody's claiming to be an officer, I mean, how how can you really tell? I mean, somebody could have a Yeah. A realistic looking badge or Absolutely.

So and we've arrested people. My second day, on my own with the Idaho State Police, I arrested a guy I went to college with for impersonating a police officer. Really? Yeah. And how did I figure that one out?

Because I knew him. Because you were Like, I know you're not a cop. What's wrong with you? We just were Wait. Wait.

You actually arrested him? Yeah. Yep. At the, I am. At the, rest area at Raft River.

Maybe that's too heinous to let him off with a warning. Yeah. Yeah. No. It was it was needed.

And so, yeah, it was my second day down there and got a call out to the rest stop and a guy impersonating a police officer. I pull in. I'm like, hey. I know you. Up in, what are you doing?

He was soliciting stuff, and it wasn't trying to sell newspapers. At the Raft River rest area. Yep. Okay. Good clientele.

Yeah. I can only imagine, you know, you're on your way to Burley. Got to make a pit stop. Jeez. So Alright.

Thank you, guys. Hey. Thanks, man. Appreciate the call. Yeah.

You have a good one. Alright. Hey. Real quick. Let me finish answering your thing, though.

If you think something suspicious that, you know, they're not in uniform, they're not driving a marked police car, call 911, call Star ISP, say, hey. I'm being stopped by this person. Do you guys have a unit in the area? Or ask those questions. Or if you're out in the middle of nowhere, don't take off.

If you take off, you're probably gonna get your tires spiked. But if it's, you know, a car that's not a marked police car, maybe just one light in it, whatever it may be, wrong time of day or night is questionable, turn your hazards on, slow down under the speed limit, drive to a well lit convenience store or something like that, stop there. Also, call on the way, nine one one star ISP, either one, say, hey. This is where I'm at. Do you guys have a patrol unit?

Are they trying to stop me? Because if they are, I will pull over. Yeah. And same thing to do if you're dealing with, you know, an aggressive driver who's following you. Yeah.

You know, get to a well populated lit area. Call the police. Yep. What do you do if you're in a, like, a town hall meeting and you aren't sure if, somebody taking you to the ground's a cop? The only thing that could have been better is if that was you sitting in those chairs and it was me getting to drag you out.

Oh, I would love to get dragged out for screaming at politicians. I don't know how much my bosses would like it, but say, Victor, will you just disturb my peace. I did have a good time making, you know, some phone calls and leaving some answering machine messages recently. That's fun. But, yeah, less chance of getting dragged out kicking and screaming when you got that going on.

Should we do one more caller? Sure. Alright. K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Dusty. Dusty again. Alright, Dusty. What's up? Dusty Dusty Victor Wilt show.

I have to ask this. Have you ever done any Super Trooper? No. But it that would be good. And, to be honest with you, I haven't even watched the whole show.

I've just had people show me parts of it. I'm not a movie goer as Victor can tell you. I know. I tried to even get you to go to the movies. I bought you tickets to movies for you and your lady.

You know, there you could go see I I don't know what's in the theaters, but, there's gotta be something good. Some kind of cop movie. I don't know. That's the last thing I wanna watch. You seem like a star wars guy.

Oh, yeah. You can call me Luke. I will show you the force. You gotta try the one where he goes meow. Okay.

I'll look it up. Yeah. We we should do, like, a a rent out a movie theater and do super troopers with the cops and the listeners. Dusty, I'm gonna tell on myself once again. I probably shouldn't.

I do it too much on this station. But young in my career, I had this kid that just was always pushing his luck driving fast. One one night, I get him at 68 miles an hour and a 35, and I'm like, oh, you are going down. And he was obnoxious kid in our community. So I go pull him over.

I walked up to his car, and I said, hey. What town is this? And he said, the town's name? I said, yeah. This ain't Indianapolis, and you sure aren't Richard Petty.

And the, traffic stopped ended with me giving him a citation, but the whole incident ended with me in the Chief's Office. Because you made a smart remark? Yeah. Jeez. Come on.

She a professional, but I'm like yeah. Yeah. This isn't Indianapolis, and you're not Richard Petty. I think a little humor might help out in a traffic stop. His parents didn't think it was very funny.

We didn't he he That's our little boy. We know he was out there endangering everyone, but he he made fun. He didn't even get to see his radar. And the funny thing is he's probably listening right now. I hope so.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah.

I was just gonna say, Dusty, appreciate all the calls today. And, yeah, I hope you have a good weekend, man. Yeah. You all y'all have a good one now. You too.

Thanks. See you. All right. Bye bye. All right.

I guess I could get you out of allergy central here. You know, appreciate you tolerating. Whatever's going on in this room. I'm gonna go find some emergency care. Yeah.

You're gonna need, like, Flonase. You're gonna need all kinds of stuff. Just be careful. That Benadryl make you woozy behind the wheel. So you I'll do my best.

Gotta go with a drowsy, free formula, you know, as you continue throughout your day. Alright, everybody. We'll do traffic school again next Friday morning, 08:45AM right here on K Bear. Traffic school is a production of Riverbend Media Group. To get more info on the show or to contact us, and up our website, riverbendmediagroup.com.
