That show is surprisingly funny. Lots of good cameos.

It's nuts. What if her ploy actually works?

This is the most shamelessly transparent instance of ass kissery in history. Will it work? Stay tuned!

Not gonna hit their daily quota if there's 16 guys trying to get one dude to show his ID for 30 minutes.

I agree with the people who are saying we should obey the cops. Not because it's the law and they should automatically be respected. Rather it's because if you don't, you could get shot in the face. Officer Friendly has been replaced by a jacked up guy with neck tattoos in full tactical gear...

Cool bike! Looks like it could use some cable management.
