This dude took over the parking spot that the local PD likes to radar from and the officers can't handle it. It's like a child that got their favorite toy taken away.
We are in Henrico County for this one. You have a citizen journalist that is aware of the favorite parking spot that the local PD loves to post up at to conduct speed traps.
The journalist took over the parking spot minutes before the officer and let's just say, the officers was lost on what to do about it.
The attempt by the officer he pulled up behind the parked vehicle of the journalists. Officer James approached the driver’s side window, standard protocol and tried to turn things into a welfare check, and requested that the driver roll down the glass.
Right from the jump, the driver established his boundary: he flatly refused to roll down the window, asserting through the glass that he could hear the officer perfectly fine.
Recognizing a non-standard situation, Officer James immediately called for backup ("Code 2") while attempting fish for something to escalate the situation and turn this into a traffic stop. He began by asking if the journalist was broken down, experiencing a medical emergency, or in need of assistance.
What followed was a clinic on how to handle the police through awkward silence. Instead of speaking, the driver responded to the officer's safety inquiries exclusively with thumbs-up gestures through the closed window.
The interaction hit a snag when Officer James questioned why the journalist was stopped in a turn lane. While the driver refused to answer out loud to the officer, he later pointed his camera to show the layout of the road. The journalist showed he wasn't blocking a turn lane at all; he was parked on an asphalt cutout next to the turn lane—an area that is frequently used for overflow parking.
Realizing he was not getting anywhere, the officer went back to his car for one last ditch effort by running the plates of the journalist. Once things came back clean the officer had to do that walk of shame and left.
The encounter didn't end there, though. A second officer, Officer Jennings, arrived shortly after also looking to park in the spot to conduct a speed trap.
Interestingly, the driver shifted strategies for the second interaction. Rather than sticking to the silent thumbs-up routine, the driver chose to verbally engage with Officer Jennings through the glass.
He explicitly confirmed that he was completely fine, did not require any emergency help, and was simply sitting there. Once again another walk of shame when the officer came up empty handed from his fishing exercise.
It's amusing to see these officers have to basically pack up their toys and go home because they could not use their favorite radar spot.
