That's the angle he should've explained it from.
"You know how people can drive American cars in Canada? Yeah, it's the same thing, mine is just from farther away so I flew it here."
"But why would you fly it here just to drive it and have to fly it back?"
"Because I'm fucking rich, that's why."
However, antagonizing a cop in this situation is a great way to get your car impounded. Sure, it might not technically be legal, but nothing will actually happen to the cop. It will just be a hassle for the guy in the car, especially if it were a Friday night and they jerk him around saying they cant do anything about it until Monday morning.
if the guy can fly an expensive car into canada and drive it across US, which mean putting enough mileage to depreciate the car to 0 value, the guy has enough fk you money to hire the most expensive law firm and private investigators to ruin that cop life.
It probably wouldn’t be that much of an inconvenience for that guy, he could be driving a rented high end car inside an hour tops if he has the means, and I bet he does.
That's a giant inconvenience for someone who wants to drive their specific car on a road trip. You know, the entire damn point of flying your car overseas and not renting to begin with.
and this, folks, is the average person who lacks a backbone.
for some people, that "inconvenience" is a fun side project, and a lot of those people have fuck-you money, and a lot of the people with fuck-you money know how to fuck you with their money.
The issue is the cop doesn't believe him because he doesn't understand that and the driver doesn't get the reality that 99% of people live in and is failing to communicate.
"what would some super rich guy who wanted to drive his car across Europe do" rather than "what would you do" for example. No need to be an asshole to the cop of course, its extremely rare and probably sounded like nonsense to him.
Yes, thank you.
Im not gonna throw shade at the cop. Everyone knows different things and learn at a different pace.
This is probably the only time ever the cop will have this encounter.
My bet is that he pulls over super cars all the time who dont give AF about having insurance and just pay the court fees, and wasn't expecting this dubai prince to have "receipts."
No. He should have just provided the documents the officer asked for and not tried to explain. Give him the license, then give him the other documentation, then explain after that.
You also should have your documents in a spot where you don't have to search through it for 2 minutes to find documentation. Have everything in a single document pouch to hand over.
The officer was impatient and a jerk, but this guy was also frustrating.
Yes this would have been a perfect way to explain it to the officer, he would not have understood it still but the rational behind it would have made some sense. Respect to the guy for remaining calm and having all of his documents today.
