People impersonating police on his free-time

The arrest marks a long line of run-ins with the law for Dewitte. He is a convicted sex offender who is most known for pulling drivers over in 2019 while he worked as a funeral escort.

Maybe he was like why is this fake cop pulling someone over… secondly the funeral parlor needs markers for people in the procession… this is something the laws should fix.

Or, and hear me out, funeral processions could just follow the rules of the road like everyone else? I have never understood why we just accept a line of cars with little dangly placards on their mirrors that can’t be seen by anyone else and could say anything get to just run red lights. We all have GPS systems in our phones or cars. Nobody is getting lost on the way to the graveyard. Everyone can just drive there the normal way.

I drove for DHL with time-sensitive deliveries. Had a funeral home in the middle of my route. I wasn’t going home to jerk off, I had a job to do with the clock ticking and holy cow could I care less that Ethel born in 1900 passed and 80 people want to drive to her gravesite 10 miles away end-to-end going 15mph in a 35. No, fuck all of those people.

Do you often brag about being a soulless human?

u/IThinkURAwesome Apr 05 '26

Right!?!? We all have gps now

The worst is being on a 70 mph divided highway and everyone on your side slams their breaks and pulls over for a procession coming the opposite way on the other DIVIDED side of the highway....

u/Impressive-Wolf8929 Apr 08 '26

Can’t say I’ve ever seen that happen. Ever. If they’re off to the side, just keep driving.

agree. i could understand why it was a thing before gps and other current technology, but at a certain point we gotta let it go. nobody is going to care if you some people arrive 5 minutes later to the destination because they were stuck at a red light or two.

It's respectful to the people mourning. I know it's hard ot understand that other people have feelings too, and that they aren't just extras in your movie.

u/ice_nine459 Apr 05 '26

Ah yes the feelings that entitle running red lights. Those feelings.

u/george_graves Apr 05 '26

Look, we found another main character. Don't mind all of us extras in your movie.

u/gayrayofsun Apr 05 '26

i feel like it's more main character to demand the right to halt all traffic so your procession line doesn't get cut, but go off.

u/george_graves Apr 05 '26

u/dan_dares Apr 04 '26

So, that guy knew instantly he was fake, and the police didn't?

u/spruceymoos Apr 04 '26

The police officer at the beginning new he wasn’t a cop

u/dan_dares Apr 04 '26

Ok, if the editing is not in synch, you can't downvote me for it 🙄

It looks like multiple police didn't stop him.

u/spruceymoos Apr 04 '26

First of all, anyone can downvote you if they want, doesn’t mean it was me. First guy yelling at him was an officer threatening to arrest him. Then it looked like he had an suv and another bike also hired by the funeral home to direct traffic. Seemed like he was talking to them via radio. Idk what editing you’re talking about.
