An episode of COPS filmed in Vegas...

So I was in downtown Vegas after a $100 Binion's tourny (placed third for $580)...

Anyway, walking home an episode of COPS the TV show was being filmed after these cops were arresting this dude for J-Walking. I had to JWalk to get some pictures and this cop starting SCREAMING at me. He asked me if I was from Las Vegas and I said, "No I am from Canada." He said, "Don't they have J-Walking in Canada?" I said,"Sure we do, but the cops are fucking pricks." Anyway, he flipped and told me that the shotguns between his driver and passenger seats were 'reseved for Canadians". I said, "I'd carry a shotgun too if I was 5 foot 8 and had no dick..." Well the next thing I know he gets all serious (ON CAMERA) and cuffs me, emptys my pockets, searches for priors and sticks me in the bak of a cruiser. My buddies are standing looking at me laughing their asses off while I moon the camera and start freaking out in the back of the car. Eventually they let me out, give me a warning, have me sign a release for COPS and let me go.

COPS the show, is stupid and rigged.

Haha...sorry, just a fun story I thought I'd share.

  • Did I just read that?
  • Only you know.
  • LOL! Were they arresting the same guy who mugged you with an 8" blade? Just kidding man... I really hope I never see your big white ass on TV though.

    /g2
  • No worries Greg, it will likely be blurred out. :D

    I sooooooooo hope it is on TV. I love footage that makes me look like a HUGE moron.
  • OF ALL THE STORIES, THIS ONE IS TOOOO MUCH !!

    JOSH, I LIKE YA, BUT COME ON?

    Wait til Wolffhound gets a hold of this one.
  • Nice one, Josh!

    But unless you were running around in your underwear, and totally drunk/stoned out your mind you won't get on the show.

  • So you gonna be on TV?
  • I guess it'll be on TV.
    When I talked to the camera guy he said he wasn't sure but it is probably enough to make it. They film daily apparently and take the best bits. So the most f bombs and stupidness...I hope I qualify.

    And Cory, quit talking shit man. In fact, why read the posts I start if you are just going to arrogantly and ignorantly call bullshit on their content?
  • Dude, you can't be serious right now?

    Why would you be ARRESTED for J-WALKING?

    And PLEASE, PLEASE, tell me how exactly you were able to "moon the camera" and "freak out", while cuffed in the back of a police car.


    Sorry bud, but,

  • I dont even know you but this sounds a little "exaggerated".
  • Just post the pictures that you took of this incident. Since you said you took some.

    I can't wait to see this thrilling episode of COPS in Vegas where they apparantly have a sting set up to catch J-Walkers. No one can top a show where people get arrested for violating municipal laws that only require a citation.
  • You erred reading the post Andrew, Josh was unfortunately apprehended J-walking to take pictures of the other gentlemen being arrested.
    Josh never said he had photo evidence of this obviously sobering incident.

    Please do not hold your breath or stay up late waiting for the pictures.

    Perhaps next time you will read the post a little closer so as to not make unreasonable requests of this young man.
  • $5,000 bucks says I have pics of the first guy they arrested complete with film camera and boom mic guy.

    Maybe the collective of shit talkers on this board could pony up for the bet?
  • just post the pics and prove to everyone you're not full of shit. Most people here dont even believe you're in Vegas let alone that these amazing stories are true.
  • First of all, I wasn't "shit" talking you, but, now I will...

    If you can avoid being mugged, meet a girl in 2 weeks and supposedly were going to get married, keep winning money as an underager in Vegas at numerous tournaments, hit large jackpots on the slots, were on the verge of buying a condo, supposedly sold your business for thousands and thousands and are staying and working at a hostel, suggest you might play for $10,000 on roulette and "maybe" donate $4,000 to charity, act like your going to meet up with numerous forum members and never show, supposedly almost be arrested for J Walking and moon a camera in the back of a police cruiser and more importantly, keep posting here with these insane, untrue, unrealistic, borderline ridiculous stories you continually tell and want to come back and play with some of us and not expect us to question these stories when you return from "your trip", all the power to you.

    Now I will wait for your reply to threaten me because I'm shit talking, blah, blah, blah...  Just read what I wrote, grab a mirror, look in it and say, what am I doing and why do 20 forum members come on here and can't believe what I post everytime???

    I have no beef with you, but, I won't let you sit there and act like some hero wherever you are and trash me on here.

    If this is all true, I apologize and continue to have fun.

  • Hey Josh,

    I'm just happy that they let you use the internet in the sanitarium, I know how long the days can get.

    See you at Binions tonight with the fake passports buddy,

    Deadline is November/06...

    Given the number of stories you have to choose from, you may end up starting and winning your own division.

    Congrats in advance on what might be your own "real" victory to date.
  • I'm buying a cable to take the photos off of my phone to my PC just to prove it.
    I tried emailing them to post em, but emailing from my phone isn't working, maybe because it is pay as you go.

    Not in Vegas....god, three months of hiding from everyone I know would be hard if I wasn't 1000's of miles away.
  • PS... I know your in Vegas

    Quick Background:
    From 16 to 20 years old I managed a record store in Waterloo and co-managed the Kitchener location when it opened in 2004. I started my own business, gave great paying jobs to any of my friends who needed it, had 18 employees and sold it all a few months ago. I was arrested three times in those four years for being an ass in public. Been kicked out of almost every bar in Waterloo on King Street. Played in three bands. Started an online radio station. Threw concerts all around K-W. Went in as a silent partner in a restaurant called Embers with my Aunt in Scarborough and paid for my Mom's school. Was almost expelled from highschool in grade 12 for an online journal thing I had where I posted stories like these that happened to be in highschool...this incident was part of one of the candidates topics at the candidate debate on live TV. A church group found out about it and made "Save Haddon" tees to raise money for legal fees in case the expulsion went through.

    Stories I've got. Lies? Who needs them? I live every effing day ensuring that if I died that day I would go out having a blast and living the dream. And if my daily life events seem farfetched, I'm done caring. I know they happened, the people I'm with usually get to go home with a story and no day is ever boring. I live the dream. And I don't work in the hostel. I stay for free and get $180 a week to run 3 events a week. One is a free tequila based poll tournament. One is a limo tour of the strip with VIP access into two clubs. And the third is a Karaoke night. So if by work and live at a hostel, you mean getting hammered with great people from all over the world while living in a clean, diverse place with a girl I am going to marry then you are right. She's a manager here, or else I would have a condo.

    I've looked in the mirror Cory, 4 months ago and hated my life. So I sold my old life and found paradise on earth. I've never been happier and I truly wish you could experience the surreal constant catharsis I feel everyday.
  • In all honesty, I am glad your enjoying paradise currently and I will buy you a beer when you return.

    ME
  • I truly am curious how you managed to pull your pants down while hand cuffed?

    Oh, and want a real easy way to prove this? Take pictures of your wrist and that should be all the proof you need. When you really piss a cop off, they don't cuff you lightly, I had very clear bruises for a good week and a half.
  • I guess GTA's pic in the where's Haddon thread is true. He's in Vegas in Jail....... Dude read folded's post, then think about what your saying. I spent a month in vegas when I was just slightly older than you. Not even 1/4 of what has happened to you in the first week happened to me in a month. Mind you I stayed in a hotel not a hostel. Why don't you post a pic of you standing in front of ceasars with the bruises on your wrist's. Then we will know it's all true.
  • They wouldnt be arresting him for Jay-Walking, but for probably being drunk out of his mind.
  • i truly beleive that this post made my day.


    lol.

    Haddon, did you make any re-buys in the tournament?

    No rebuys.
  • I have one of those "Save Haddon" t-shirts!!! But the lady who sold it to me said it was to raise money to save a little boy who fell down a well.
  • I ordered a 'Save Haddon' shirt from some shirt making company in town...but after they charged my credit card and never sent me the product I decided to go to the press in an attempt to get results. After they got the scoop and printed an article showing the seedy side of this business I finally did get my shirt but it was the wrong size and said 'Shaved Haddock' on it instead? I'm trying to get a refund but the 'owners' are unreachable?
  • This just in ...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Strong DVD sales of "Chronicles of Haddon" and continued growth at its domestic theme parks drove higher third-quarter revenue and profits higher at The Walt Disney Co.
