The Viktor Wilt Show

Speaker 1: We have a police officer in the studio, Lieutenant Crain of the Idaho State Police. What is happening?

Speaker 2: Oh man, I walked in here and I thought it was, I don't know what, but I was like, it's hard to adjust my eyes.

Speaker 1: I like it nice and dark in here. Yeah, I can't function. Oh, and every Monday morning you come in, it's Monday, Monday sucks. And then at 10 a.m. we have to go to this meeting and it's in the conference room. And for some reason they like to turn every single light on in there and turn them all the way up. So I mean, you know what it's like if you turn the lights on in here, it's pretty bright. In there, it's like the sun is in the room. It's like, ahhh. After sitting in this dark room. Yeah, who'd want a little light in your life? I don't want to see the light.

Speaker 2: I'm hiding the darkness. I know why you just learned why you're so disgruntled to come in on Monday morning. It's because of that meeting and all that light. No, you have to get up and go to Walmart early on the morning. Oh, that's just on the weekend. On your date. That's what I mean.

Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about how we spent our weekends and you were telling me about your buddy who's got it really rough. Yeah. Living the rough life on the weekends and I was like, yeah, me, it's, get woke up at six and we're going to go to Walmart. What are you doing? It's six a.m. It's Saturday.

Speaker 2: It reminds me of the dog that think he's going to get tutored when he's actually going to get neutered at the bed.

Speaker 1: She did let me sleep in Sunday though. I woke up early and then I was like, I am going back to sleep and she finally woke me up like, you got to get out of bed.

The day's going to be over. And you're doing the laundry. Don't don't remind me about my laundry battles. I have socks I need to wear on Monday. You know, when you start throwing the dress socks on that you're like, all right, I need to do some laundry bad.

Speaker 2: Why would you own a pair of dress socks?

Speaker 1: Because once a year or so, somebody will die or something and I have to dress nice.

Speaker 2: Does that go good with a sweatshirt?

Speaker 1: People don't see them. They're hitting by your pants.

Speaker 2: I'm talking when you go to someplace special, you wear your new socks and your sweatshirt. Oh, yeah. I'm always looking classic dress socks and a sweatshirt ready for the funeral and shorts

Speaker 1: so you can really see the dress socks and flip flops. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think you should have to dress up at a funeral. Like if you know, I just killed over today, which, you know, it can happen. It can happen.

Speaker 2: Not that you're not in great physical shape.

Speaker 1: I know I am peak physical fitness and I do all the right things to keep myself healthy. Yeah, no, people don't have to wear a nice clothes to my funeral. I want it to be fun. I was going to come to your funeral.

At least three people, I think I might get three people there and they better make it fun. You know, I want loud music, all songs that are, you know, disturbing and wrong. I'm on the highway to hell.

Speaker 2: He's already there. That's right.

Speaker 1: Well, I think traffic school is going to be pretty good today. Oh, excellent. Because we have a lot of online submitted questions. So if these slacker callers don't call us, we should be able to roll with the show for a while.

So that's good. Always fun or live. But it's always fun.

That's right. Live. So we prioritize live callers as well. If you call the online people can wait. You moved to the front of the line. That's right. So you could prevent the people online from even getting their questions asked if y'all just call the show the whole time. Let the party begin. Woo-woo! It's Friday.

Speaker 2: We'll put them on our muffler so they go woo-woo!

Speaker 1: I'm surprised you've seen that video because you don't watch anything. Oh. I forgot all about that.

Speaker 2: They went through the cops like crazy, right?

Speaker 1: Now, would that be illegal to put something on your muffler to make it go woo-woo?

Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got to give that guy a break, right? You're like, I love you, man. Give me my hug. Send him down the road. Officer discretion. Go woo-woo! Hey, man, we'd like to do something like a woo-woo! Hey, quit smoking the devil's lettuce. But then it's not as full as the muffler go woo-woo!

Speaker 1: All right, everybody. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Like I said, we got a lot of online submitted questions, so that's good. That'll help us eat up some time, tell people quit slacking.

Start calling. Woo-woo-woo! Uh, let's start here with, uh, Chell asking, can I use the can of air to beep at people who are on their phones and not paying attention at a street light? A can of air, like an air horn? I'm assuming an air horn. Mwah! Mwah!

Speaker 2: It's not illegal because, uh, hey, it's not a horn out of your car, right? Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1: So there you go, Chell. Start harassing them. Quit staring at your phones and hit the gas.

Speaker 2: Make sure you do it to people that aren't tougher than you.

Speaker 1: Yes. You could potentially irritate somebody. Could cause your nose to bleed. K-Bear, you were live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 3: Friday, Friday, Friday. Oh, there it goes.

Speaker 2: I knew this was going to happen because you guys are actually advertised in something that Crazy Carl might be interested in. Oh, really? Yeah. What's that? Thanks for listening to your own commercial.

Speaker 1: I'm so busy I don't get a chance to listen to. Friday, Saturday, Chrome in the Dome. Oh, Chrome in the Dome? Oh, actually, is that this weekend? I have these tickets here. That is this weekend. I'm going to have to give these away this morning. Like ASAP. Yeah, everybody, uh...

Speaker 2: Anybody and everybody that wants to go. At the end of traffic school, if you want to go to Chrome in the Dome, I have tickets. I have a few.

Speaker 2: And Carl will sign your ticket once you arrive there. That's right. Yes, sir. You get a signature and a free Bud Light.

Speaker 1: Thank you for reminding me about Chrome in the Dome. Car show goes...

Speaker 2: We love our cars.

Speaker 1: So what's up, Crazy Carl?

Speaker 3: Oh, man, I couldn't sleep at all last night. I woke up at two o'clock. Oh, it's not time yet. 3.30. Oh, it's not time yet. Five o'clock. I'm like, well, better get some sleep now because it's going to be a long day. Oh, man.

Speaker 2: Did you do any stretching or workout before you golless got prepped?

Speaker 3: Oh, no. I mean, I got to stretch out before my feet even hit the floor. I'm old, man. I mean, you know, I jump out of bed, something's going to break.

Speaker 2: A good beer belly won't let you do a push-up. You got one of those? No.

Speaker 3: What are you trying to say? I'm not kidding. Sit up. That's what I do in the recliner.

Speaker 2: How many cars are you going to have in the show, Carl?

Speaker 3: So the shop, we have five cars going in and we're getting staged right now. There's still loading cars in. I believe they open the door. I like how he says, we. He's not doing anything.

Speaker 1: Yeah, we're out here really putting it to it.

Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just I'm just supervising really.

Speaker 2: The guys down the shop, me, we're really working.

Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. No doubt. Hey, so I'm not on the note of car horns. I mean, I know train horns are illegal, but can you get the.

Speaker 1: Yeah, what about novelty horns like.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're illegal too. It's supposed to be stock. Really?

Speaker 3: Yeah. Even the horns don't get offended.

Speaker 1: Carl, this is the Idaho government we're talking about.

Speaker 2: No, this is the Idaho state police.

Speaker 1: You know, if there's if there's fun, the answer is no.

Speaker 3: Who do I write letters to? I'm probably no.

Speaker 2: I'll forward them. Let him be your spokesman.

Speaker 3: Nice. All right on. Hey, I'm going to. Man, you're giving away free tickets. How many tickets do you have? I've got a few.

Speaker 2: I got a few. Your family could get in.

Speaker 1: So if anybody needs tickets at the end of traffic school, just call me and tell me I want chrome in the dome tickets. But you have to be able to pick them up at the studio today by five o'clock. Yeah, before the show is over.

Speaker 2: That's the key to this. Yeah.

Speaker 3: Speaking of which, I probably got to get back up there and give those guys a hair and I had to run back to the shop real quick. So yeah. I'm trying to get off the phone and go healthy.

Speaker 1: All right, Carl, you enjoy the show, man.

Speaker 3: Five cars. Oh, man, there's no sleep this weekend for me.

Speaker 1: Pure man. I did hope it goes good.

Speaker 2: It's nothing but drinking beer and talking horsepower.

Speaker 3: Exactly. You guys have a good show, man. You too, man. We'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 2: See ya. Back when I was 26, I had me in your bush, 327 horse. Had to sell it after my first divorce.

Speaker 1: I wonder if Ben from the Advocates is going to be hanging out there. He's got a car too that could make it in. I should hit him up to see what he's going to be up to. So I don't know if I feel like driving to Poki. Remember, my plan was nothing this weekend. That's right.

Speaker 2: And I don't know if you and Ben might be divorced. I haven't seen him around here for a while. I haven't seen him for a while either. He might be a little jealous over that wedding you had.

Speaker 1: Oh, maybe. That's marriage. I didn't invite him to that wedding. A lot of people got mad. Show somebody else over top of him. I know. I know he's probably sad. I'll hit him up after the show too. You want some chrome and the dawn tickets, man? Come on, gotcha covered. I'll meet you there. 208-535-1015, the number to call for, traffic school powered by the Advocates.

Okay, this is a long one from Zach. Got a question about the corner of Lomax and Holmes. It's a one-way, has four lanes at the light, left turn lane, two middle straight lanes, and a right turn onto Holmes Lane. Anyway, there's a business close to the light. And in front of the business, there's a sign that says no parking from there to the corner. Yet people have the lazy entitlement to park on the street, which makes it hard for the cars to access the left turn lane so we can turn onto Holmes. The business has a parking lot on the side and behind their building.

Why are police letting people park on the left side of the road when there's a no parking zone? Please go see what I'm talking about from Westmark on Lomax to Holmes around 10 a.m. Let's tow him. That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2: Yeah, Zach, report him. I know, Falls Police Department, those listening, please run over there. Get the tow truck rolling.

Speaker 1: Let's get him towed. There you go. Yeah, Zach, call IFPD. Put him to work. Tell him to get busy. Take care of these problems. Let's see here. How come or let's see, Brittany wants to know how come people can have those bright caliber lights or under glow lights that are bright as heck, but the lights that go on the valve stem my child got a ticket for and had to put the old school ones back on. Ooh. I didn't know you could put.

Speaker 2: I wonder what color. I wonder what color those were because as long as it shined to the ground, I guess those would shine to the side. Yeah, but so does under light glow lights, right?

Speaker 1: Kinda, but they essentially just go down.

Speaker 2: That'd be interesting. I'd like to see what code he wrote that under.

Speaker 1: Yeah, Brittany, get the ticket. Call Lieutenant Cromes. Let's talk code. All right, let's go to the phones here. Yeah. Kay, Barry, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Colin. Colin, what's up, dude? This guy's Colin. Colin is Colin. Great.

Speaker 4: I sure am. So when I pull up to a four-way stop as a driver who is paying attention and know that I am second or third or fourth in line, but nobody else goes, how long do I need to sit there before stomping on the throttle and proceeding with caution?

Speaker 2: Long enough that you know your vehicle's not the next one in the auto body shop.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that one's just patience and caution. Yeah, patience.

Speaker 2: That's a good job. Good answer. I'm a pro.

Speaker 4: No. But there's no like that minimum time like if you get stuck at a stoplight for three cycles, you can proceed with caution.

Speaker 2: There's no law that says that on the light either. That's just good common sense. But no, I just be cautious and you know, you make eye contact with everybody. Don't go across until you know it's clear.

Speaker 4: All right. Sometimes people think alike. You get rough training.

Speaker 2: Sometimes people's 30 seconds is my one second.

Speaker 4: Exactly. Thank you.

Speaker 1: Hey, thanks. You have a good one too, Colin. Okay, Bear. You were live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? It sounded like somebody farted. I bet I know who's Colin.

Speaker 4: Have you ever had a fart machine? You ever played around with one of those?

Speaker 2: That's going to say something, but I better not. No.

Speaker 1: Fart machines are pretty fun. If you need something fun for the office, it's just a little remote controlled fart machine. You can have a great time with one of those. All right. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. What are the rules to the road when approaching snow plows?

Speaker 2: Whoa, they need to give them room, right? Yeah, even with no snow this year, we've had to hit. Really? With the minimal amount of snow they've had to push, we've had to hit. Holy cow.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, what I never understand is when people pass them. I'm going to get in front of the snow plow. The roads are horrible. Exactly. Like one of the best places to be is behind them. About 300 yards. Exactly. Stay back a ways and just clear my path.

Speaker 2: Call your boss and say, the roads are horrible.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Sorry, I can't get anywhere. Roads are a mess. I'm stuck behind a snow plow. And yeah, they'll get over it.

Speaker 2: A good man or woman that's piling this on the interstate or highway, get me to work.

Speaker 1: Yeah. So that one, I would assume there aren't specific rules. Just use common sense.

Speaker 2: Yeah, don't pass them on the right, right? So. Yeah, definitely not. We've had a couple try that. They have wings out on the right. You can't pass them on the shoulder. You'll hit the wing every time.

Speaker 1: Just get mowed down with a big pile of snow and shoved off the road.

Speaker 2: I'm trying to think, okay, there's never a good time to pass a passenger vehicle on the right. So why would passing a snow plow on the right make sense? Because people be dumb.

Speaker 1: My answer for just about everything. Because people be dumb. 208-535-1015, the number to call for, traffic school powered by the advocates.

Speaker 2: This is the thing with those snow plows. When they are actually plowing some good snow, it's like a whiteout when you get up next to them. Oh yeah. And then people panic.

Right? And so they keep trying, but instead of panicking, hey, why not apply the brakes lightly? Slow down. Come back.

Get where you can see, where you feel comfortable. They're not going forever. They're just going to go to their section of road turn and go back the other direction. Right? So you're going to get the chance to get out from behind them sooner than later. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1: Yeah. And again, it's the best spot to be if you're driving in bad conditions. I don't know. No common sense with some of these people.

Speaker 2: How many times have you watched that vehicle blow by you on those roads? You're like, man, they're going fast. And then a mile down the road, you're like, man, they're off the road. They're in the ditch.

Speaker 1: I've seen it many a time as a matter of fact. I saw this photo pop up and I was going to ask you if you think this is real. It says nobody does quiet highway patients quite like Idaho state troopers out here. The road stretch for miles between forest farmland and mountains. You can drive an hour watching nothing but rolling hills open sky and the occasional pickup truck. And, you know, it feels calm, wide open and peaceful.

And that's exactly when Idaho is watching. They don't always sit on the shoulder where you expect them. Sometimes they find a low dip beside the highway, tuck that dark cruiser down in the tall grass, and suddenly the whole car disappears into the landscape like it grew there with sagebrush. I've seen state police cars. That doesn't really look like one of yours.

Speaker 2: That's not one of our cars, but that's hilarious.

Speaker 1: And I tell you, there's a police car hiding in the grass next to the road.

Speaker 2: I want to move to Idaho, but I want to drive your speed limit.

Speaker 1: And look at the rest of the image. It's really funny because it's you can tell that it's supposed to be a two-lane road because there's no other lane. This is in a valley, but all the cars are driving in one direction on bullsides of the road with the yellow lines.

Speaker 2: And if you really look at that, they're actually leaving Idaho. They are.

Speaker 1: They're all on their way out. And so you would be... We're on the long side of the state line. Yeah, you're outside of your jurisdiction. Yeah. I'm guessing this might have been made with AI. No way. Just checking.

Speaker 2: Man, I tell you what, you are really on top of things.

Speaker 1: It's a very popular post. You know, got 1100 likes.

Speaker 2: And what's interesting about that, we've wrote more than 1100 tickets last year.

Speaker 1: I believe it. I believe it. Oh, it's funny people. Look at that. An old fashioned speed trap. Looks like a tank trap. Yeah. I mean, I'd be very impressed if I saw a cop pull that off.

Speaker 2: You deserve to give me a ticket.

Speaker 1: 208-535-1015, the number to call for. Traffic school powered by the advocates.

Speaker 2: You know what's interesting? That's the same person will call in and say, a person just passed me. I love getting speed complaints in neighborhoods, right? Or areas. And then you're like, okay, yeah, we'll get a trooper out there. Put a trooper in the area. The first person they get is them or their wife or their husband. And then they call you, why are you writing as a citation? That's our neighbors.

Speaker 1: Be careful what you wish for everybody. That's right. And again, 208-535-1015 is the number to call for. Traffic school powered by the advocates. Let's see what we got here. Mike wanted to know when making a left or right turn, why do people first veer in the opposite direction? Just to tick him off. That's right. Mike, because people be dumb.

Speaker 2: Now, when we're talking passenger cars, that might be an issue, right? But when we're talking semi tractor trailers or long loads, they have to do that. So they don't take out the curb or the power

Speaker 1: pole or the light pole on the corner. Well, but that, you know, gives the city worker something to do.

Speaker 2: I actually just seen that happen. I was in a marked unit taking, we've had a couple of rests that turned into pursuits. If you watch the news lately, we've got some crash cars were getting fixed. I took it down to get a bid. I pull up. I'm in my marked police car in the, what we'd call number one lane, the lane closest to the center. Sim, I'm going to make a turn.

So I let him have some room and a car comes right up underneath him to make a right hand turn. Oh my gosh. And I'm like, are you kidding me? And I'm too busy to worry about coming and talking to you about being dumb. You need a bullhorn.

Speaker 1: Stop being an idiot. Trying to do something here.

Speaker 2: I'm busy. I'm busy and everybody's looking at me do something with that idiot. Exactly. And the truck driver especially is looking at me going, this is what I get on my camera every day.

Speaker 1: Don't pay your paycheck. Why aren't you dealing with this person?

Speaker 2: So of course, make contact. You put me in a very tough situation.

Speaker 1: Um, Rasmow wanted to know, help us with your name, right? Do people ever get cited for driving too slow? Serious question. He says, I mean, at least drive the post and speed limit.

Speaker 2: So that's the first part. Even if the slick and roads are icy.

Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3: Just do it. Get out on I-15 in Blizzard at 80.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I would assume there have to be some situations if you're endangering other drivers.

Speaker 2: So we don't have a code that says driving too slow. What we have is a code that says impeding traffic, right? Yeah. And so the other code that we're just talking about is driving to the conditions of the roadway.

Yeah. Speed for conditions. So as far as have we ever rode a ticket for driving too slow? No, because we don't have a code to enforce that. Have we ever rode a citation for impeding traffic? There has been some situations and I don't think it fell under that code where somebody's moving something down the roadway. Don't have their slow moving signs out. Don't have the proper pace cars and stuff and it's caused a crash. They get cited. Not necessarily maybe under that code, but yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1: There's a citation's issue. All right. Yeah, I know it is aggravating, man. When you're cruising down sunny side and somebody's doing 30, what are you doing? Go! Go! I got to get to Walmart by six. That's right.

Grocery shopping must be done at the crack of dawn. Oh, let's see. He also wants to say or ask, will something be done about the red light runners? It's the norm these days. Someone's going to get killed. Ridiculous. You guys going to do anything about it?

Speaker 2: People running red lights? This is a serious question. I want a serious answer. I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to take action on any red light runner we observe.

Speaker 1: There you go. All right. You've got the commitment. Yes. If they see it, they will do something about it.

Speaker 2: Now understand this. One time. This is an exception to the rule. I just said, if we have somebody in our car in custody, we can't take action, right? Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. If we've seen it and somebody's sitting in the back seat of your car, because I've had that happen, right?

You've got somebody in custody in the back seat of your car, somebody that's not so smart, a head of you does something and everybody's looking at you like, do something. You're like, I can't.

Speaker 1: Sorry. See you later. Heading to the jail. I was driving and I saw this officer doing nothing about these problems. Let's see. Did he have anything else? Oh, he just wanted to rebrand Poca-tello, slow Catello. This guy's busy. Important and busy. Let's see. Will wanted to know, by the way, people listening, you can call us at 208-535-1015.

Speaker 3: Now wait a minute. You think somebody's listening? I think everyone is listening and if they aren't, shame on them. Shame. Shame. So Will says, if I forgot my wallet and I get pulled over since I don't have my actual license on me, will I still get the ticket if I can give the officer my driver's license number because I do have it memorized? That is an ISP felony. I knew it. I knew it. Go into jail, Will. Taking you away. Going down, we're going to beat you with a stick.

Speaker 2: So the Idol Code says you do have to have your actual driver's license on your person at any time you're operating a motor vehicle, right? If you have it, we can check it. It's valid. 92% of the time you're walking away with no citations for that. Yeah. But depends on how everything else goes on the stock.

Speaker 4: Maybe you could walk away with a citation. All right.

Speaker 1: Okay, Bear. You were live on traffic school powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Who's this?

Speaker 5: What's up, Bob? How's it going? It's Stuart. It's doing pretty good. What up, Stuart? So I saw a post about somebody that sabotaged the cigarette because their brother kept stealing cigarettes with cayenne pepper. Now, if you do that and it injures somebody because they stole your cigarette and smoked it, would that be considered a salt?

Speaker 2: So that's a big question. And depending on the circumstances and the totality, if you set something up knowing that it was going to harm them, you've done that with the intent.

Speaker 1: Put a firecracker in it, blows up in their face. Yeah, that's something that caused them death or bodily harm. You're probably going to have a consequence. Yeah. But what if it's just a mild discomfort?

Speaker 2: Now know this, maybe not legally as far as criminal law, but they can always come at you civilly. That's true.

Speaker 1: That's true. So yeah, be careful with your pranks, Stuart.

Speaker 5: No, I'm not going to give you anything like that.

Speaker 2: My dad was a cigarette your brother doesn't like.

Speaker 5: No, I just made a comment on the post that it was a salt. People were arguing with me and I'm like, I'm going to find out.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess you'd have to do them some harm. Yeah. So a salt, yeah.

Speaker 2: And it would be a battery. You don't have to do anything for a salt, right? Because of the threat. Yeah, now I don't know what that would fall under because it's not necessarily a battery. You're not putting hands on them.

You're not the unwillful touching, right? But causing bodily harm would be the code. Causing injury or something would be that.

But that'd be a great argument because if you'd done it, not knowing who was doing it, just done it and left it around and somebody took it. Not really. I don't know. It's all going to be referenced back to the totality of everything and what people knew and what was done and different things like that. Okay.

Speaker 1: Thank you. Hey, thanks, Stuart. You have a good one, man.

Speaker 2: I would say this, if it's going to cause any harm or injury to somebody, probably not a good idea.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems like a good rule of thumb. Yeah. Yeah. Is it going to hurt them? 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Let's see. The other day, Peach has got a call from, I don't know, somebody trying to give him a loan or give him an auto warranty, one of these spam calls. I've never got one of those. You've never got one of those? So when Peach has answered, he said, I will find you to the person on the other end of the line and they mimicked him saying, oh boy, I will find you. If you tell a telemarketer, I will find you. Is that like assault?

Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. No, because you didn't say, I will find you and harm you in this way. Right? Okay. Just, I will find you.

Speaker 1: So if he had said, I will find you and I'll kill you, but he would have to have the ability to find them.

Speaker 2: If he says, I will find you and I have a baseball bat that I'm going to beat you with to death. And then we find out that he is actually looking for their address. He does own a baseball bat. He has had a criminal history in the past for battery.

Speaker 1: You know, probably getting the assault charge. We're probably going after you. All right. All right. There you go. Peach, is that, did you hear the answer to your question? Yeah, but you got the story wrong. I'm following what you, you said on here.

Speaker 2: You misspelled so many words. It was hard to read.

Speaker 6: Fat fingers, you know. All right. No, I said, oh boy, because I heard the bloop.

Speaker 2: No, and it was a spam call. Oh, and then when you hear the bloop, you know exactly what the bloop is. Okay.

Speaker 1: And then the lady mimicked you.

Speaker 6: And then I said, oh boy. And then she went, oh boy, oh boy. I just like got real serious. I was like, I will find you. And then she just hung the phone up right there.

Speaker 1: Well, you're okay. All you said was I will find you. So, yep. Say that too. As many of them as you want. Um, 208.

Speaker 2: I remind you of another video. We will find you. Oh, lock up your husband.

Speaker 1: Cause we're going to find you. All right. We got another caller here. I don't watch anything. I know you don't watch anything, but you've seen all these five videos. They're videos. It's farting around on YouTube. K-Bare, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Dusty. Dusty, what up, dude? How's it going? Decent.

Speaker 7: So I just had a question.

Speaker 2: He didn't want to hear the answer. He went right to his statement. How you doing? Well, there's my statement.

Speaker 7: So my question is, are cops now just traffic cops now? They're just lazy. Enough cop cops?

Speaker 4: Just lazy.

Speaker 1: Do you have a story?

Speaker 7: Why would you think that? So the reason I put that is because of the hearsay law. The hearsay law. So if a cop does not see the crime, they can't do nothing about it. And so what I've been told by a bunch of cops is say, I can go kick my neighbor's door in. And as long as the cop didn't see it, they can't do anything about it. It's hearsay. Or I could beat the living crap out of the wife and they can't do nothing because it's hearsay.

Speaker 4: Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Speaker 1: You're going to say this doesn't sound right.

Speaker 4: Wrong, wrong, wrong. He hearsay law.

Speaker 7: This isn't.

Speaker 3: Well, what I got out of it is the hearsay law came out of voicing because of a guy slapping a girl on her butt, took it to the Supreme Court and he won.

Speaker 2: So we're going to cover that. But this could take some back to one more thing I've seen.

Speaker 7: I'm getting this all out of my black but cops.

Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk about it in a second. But I got something else. Back to a side fold episode where he lays like fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.

Speaker 1: I need to get that clip for the button bar.

Speaker 2: So let's answer your question. There is some truth to what you're talking about. And what happened is the courts decided a couple of years ago that a misdemeanor that did not occur in our presence, we can no longer arrest for. That doesn't mean we can't take criminal action on, but we cannot arrest for it. So let's say somebody gets involved in a crash. We get there, their DUI. We didn't actually observe them driving the vehicle. But we know through witnesses and evidence that they were the driver of the vehicle and they've been drinking.

We still processing for DUI. The only difference is we sit and release them for the DUI rather than take them in custody because it's a misdemeanor that didn't occur in our presence. Now, when you talk about I can go kick in my neighbor's door and there's nothing you can do about it because you didn't witness us wrong. When you commit a felony, we can arrest you. And if you batter somebody to the point that it's a felony, we will arrest you.

Now, I don't know what the case was about whether that, but if it was a misdemeanor where it was an unwelful touching and we didn't see it, yes, we would go, we would cite them with the misdemeanor that have a day in court, but not that you're getting out of any criminal charges, just you're not going to jail that day.

Speaker 7: Well, it sounds like the Blackfoot police need to be really trained.

Speaker 1: Maybe they, you know, just didn't express what they were trying to say, right? You know, I mean, because yeah, it wouldn't make any sense to me that you'd just be able to do whatever you want if the cops don't see you.

Speaker 7: Well, that's what my neighbor likes to do. He likes to harass me. He's broken over $1,000 worth of my lights and the cops said, well, there's nothing we could do about it because we didn't see it, but the neighbor admitted to doing it and he's like, well, we can't do nothing. Well, it goes on by, then he comes over and assaults me and the cops like, well, we can't do nothing because we didn't see it. And that's when he explained the whole hearsay law. He goes, yeah, you can go to Walmart and rob Walmart, but if we didn't see you do it, like...

Speaker 2: You go to Walmart, rob it, you're going down.

Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. Blackfoot police probably needs to be like retrained.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me. So how much is your house worth today? In that situation, if you were having an issue with the local police, could you call the county police?

Speaker 2: Call them to say, can I get a deputy out here? And I'd start with a supervisor. I think there's some miscommunication there somewhere. And I'd start with a supervisor with the Blackfoot PD and say, hey, could you come and visit with me? I've got some concerns and give me a good direction here. What do you want from me?

Speaker 7: Okay, so if I'm not getting anywhere with my local police, you would say go to the next level, go to like...

Speaker 2: What I'm saying is I would talk... No, no, no, no. What I said was go talk to a supervisor of that agency. And then if you don't get satisfaction there, you can call an asset county to come and take a look.

See if they would do it. But the bottom line is if somebody's comment battered you and you file a report, they can take that report, turn it into the prosecuting attorney, and then they would make a decision whether there was grounds for charges.

Speaker 7: We'll see. And that's the problem. The prosecutor said, well, because he's 77 years old, we can't do nothing. We're not going to put a 77-year-old in jail. And I said, well, he assaulted me.

Speaker 1: I think they should lock him up immediately.

Speaker 7: I guess what I'm getting out of this is you're going to be old and crazy and do whatever you want.

Speaker 1: Well, you know, I think it's all these old politicians setting a bad example. I deal with this every Friday with Victor.

Speaker 2: He's old and wrong ideas.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you need to call a supervisor at the Blackfoot Police Department. Are you getting this recorded?

Speaker 7: Yeah, I've recorded it and I have security cameras around my house now because of my psychotic neighbor.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like me and Victor would like to give you an offer on your home as soon as we're off the air. I mean, I'm down, yeah.

Speaker 7: It's all remodeled, ready to go.

Speaker 1: There you go, yeah. Fresh new lights.

Speaker 2: Maybe we ought to change this program to, we will buy your home. If you've got a neighbor you don't like, we will buy your home. Yeah. Penny's on the dollar.

Speaker 1: Well, you know, give us an update after you talk to a supervisor because yeah, that doesn't make any sense at all. You can't go rob a store and they didn't see me. But back to...

Speaker 7: See, I was thinking about going talking to the mayor. I mean, is that the next step?

Speaker 2: So I would start, let's say all problem resolution is best to start at the bottom, right? So talk to a supervisor with the police department. If that doesn't get it done, then you can talk to the chief of police. If that doesn't get it done, you can go to the mayor. If that doesn't get it done, you can go to city council in front of everybody and say, this is what's going on. So there's steps to that, but I think you'll find a resolution prior to going to the attorney general's office.

Speaker 7: Well, I hope so. Yeah, because here's another story. Be careful with the potholes out there because the people who are doing the highway do not want to pay. We hit a huge pothole right before Fort Hall, heading to Pocatello and told the company and they said, oh, we're not paying.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess...

Speaker 7: And I even called the state police and they took pictures and videos and everything and we sent them in and the company said, no, not our problem. We're not paying.

Speaker 2: I got a question. Have you ever thought about starting your morning out every day with like 10 minutes of yoga?

Speaker 7: You know, the only way to be through life is Dutch Bros.

Speaker 1: I'm not even lying. To pound coffee and get riled up.

Speaker 4: A lot of coffee. And then just crank up the radio and go from there.

Speaker 2: I know what it is. It's a coffee and cave bear.

Speaker 1: That's getting you two wound up. I mean, I just am excited. I learned something new today and if I make it to the ripe old age of 77. I can do whatever I want. You know what everyone wants? They're not going to arrest somebody who's that age.

Speaker 2: The only difference is that guy's probably dressed. You'd be in your underwear and a cowboy hat.

Speaker 1: Hey, that's legal as long as you got the underwear on.

Speaker 7: I am excited for spring because I am going to wear that jockstrap that you told me I could wear. Ride my motorcycle.

Speaker 2: All I know is here comes Victor over to his neighbor's giving him a problem riding a Shetland pony with nothing but underwear and a cowboy hat on. You can't have that Shetland pony in the city limits.

Speaker 1: Yes, again. You didn't see it. Officer didn't see it. I do what I want. All right. Well, good luck with all your problems, Dusty. Do you think that made you saddles more? I'll let you know about my. Thank you.

Speaker 2: Thanks, Dusty. What was the song where the guy's riding a horse and got a cowboy hat and Lil Wayne or something? What was his name? That picture of you in my head for some reason.

Speaker 1: Oh, are you talking about the.

Speaker 2: It was a one hit wonder. Oh, crazy. Crazy.

Speaker 1: I know what it is. Yeah, he's riding a horse. That reminds me.

Speaker 1: Why can't I think of the name of that stupid song?

Speaker 2: It was a country artist that had just a couple hits too. That was it. I know what you're talking about. Hannah Montana's dad or whatever.

Speaker 1: Billy Ray Cyrus? Yeah, it wasn't Billy Ray Cyrus. Oh, I was thinking of somebody totally different. No, Billy Ray Cyrus and a hit rapper and the rappers on the horse. Was this new or was it Lil Nas X? Yeah, Lil Nas. Yeah. What is the name of that song? That's you.

Speaker 2: Geez. That's you when you're 77, riding your horse. Old Town Road. Yes.

Speaker 1: Oh, it was driving me crazy. I was like, why can't I think of that? That's what you do for a living. Fail to think that is what I do for a living.

Speaker 2: All right, man, I'm glad I'm not that last caller.

Speaker 1: He's having a rough time. I mean, geez, I got, you know, older neighbors, but they're pretty chill. Not coming over and insulting me. Breaking all my lights. Assaulting me. And then the cops doing nothing about it because he's old. Cops don't have to break your tail lights down. I'm getting it. If you're old, move to Blackfoot. You can do whatever you want. All right.

Speaker 2: I wonder if he lives next to the big white building. The big black.

Speaker 1: Is it the asylum? Yeah. I don't know if that's the proper name for it.

Speaker 2: Maybe that's where the neighbor's coming from. Maybe. I just can't reason with this person.

Speaker 1: They keep dragging him back in. All right, everybody. That time went by really fast. Are we done? 922. Yeah. I think we're done unless anybody calls like right now. I think I hit most of the online questions.

Let me check my notepad here. Oh, I did have a guy who called me earlier and said he saw a truck pulling a trailer. That was a really large trailer. He said it looked like almost like a mobile home that they had converted to a flatbed.

Said it was about 25 feet long. And that on the back of it, they had just spray painted in big letters. No lights exclamation point. Because they didn't have any tail lights on. Is that legal? No.

Speaker 2: And it sounds like he's probably violating the weight capacity that his truck's able to tow.

Speaker 1: Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't ask what type of vehicle was towing it.

Speaker 2: So if the trailer can maintain more weight than the truck registered, that's another violation.

Speaker 1: All right. And I just remembered something else I was going to ask you about. You know, because we've learned on this program new laws happen in Idaho in July. And they announced that they're going to stop doing license plate stickers. That's correct. How happy are you guys about that?

Speaker 2: Well, we'll still be able to get won't be as quick, right? Because we got guys that can spot them from 100 yards away that are expired. But that was John Weber out of Rexburg. Great guy looking to save the state some money. It looks like in his proposal will be about 300,000 a year saving for the state.

Speaker 1: Yeah. I just figured it would make your job a little more difficult because you can tell if somebody's plate's expired by the color of the tag. Yeah.

Speaker 2: And guys that are out there on the road continuously, they get dialed in on what's current and what's not. Oh, yeah. So it will add an extra step to what we have to do, but we can still find out, right? Yeah. Easily. Computers. Yeah. We just yeah, we inattentively drive. We type on our computer and read our computer while chewing some floured seeds and drinking soda. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1: Eating donuts. Okay. Yeah, I just saw that one and I figured, okay, sounds like I don't ever got to renew my place again.

Speaker 2: I'm going to save that 80 bucks a year. That's awesome. No, it's going to be interesting. I would think there'd be a little more savings to the state of Idaho over 300,000, but we'll see, but that's his proposal. And it'll add just an extra step, but it's nothing we haven't. We've worked through other things before and it won a little extra step for $300,000 isn't bad. We'd do that in our personal lives, wouldn't we?

Speaker 1: I'd do just about anything. $300,000.

Speaker 4: What's the challenge you got?

Speaker 2: I'm not offering you anything. Boy, that look at you guys got me a little worried. $300,000? You want to ride my pony?

Speaker 1: Have you heard of any other new laws coming up in July?

Speaker 2: Nothing that we could say is pretty much concrete, so let's wait and see. Okay. All right.
