An older gentleman, one Michael Conrad Forrester, from Tampa Florida was stopped by a Tampa Bay police officer on July 26, 2006 for speeding (55 in a 40) and playing his radio too loud. The stop was recorded by the officer's dash cam and his uniform microphone. Mr. Forrester was not very happy about the stop and proceeded to let the officer know his feelings.
This was posted before but a lot of the replies stated that people couldn't hear the exchange very well. I took the time to transcribe it for those who couldn't hear Mr. Forrester.
I am not positive but Mr. Forrester may be Rush Limbaugh in disguise. Listen to the vocal characteristics and the nonsensical insults. All that is missing is the "Da da lut, da da lut".
