For the most of ... ( 3 months ago by pcwalker)
For the most of those commenting on this video, I certainly don't agree that the author of this video had good intentions in taping this video. Even though he received a citation for something that, at least now, doesn't exist, he was trying to start something. Kudos to the Trooper that had enough restraint to keep from getting too visually aggravated, but please do my family who resides in Tennessee a favor, re-read the T. C. A. Tennesseans will appreciate you more for it.
Agree. As a ... ( 3 months ago by pcwalker)
Agree. As a visitor of the area for many years, the severe curves of the roads there warrant a 30 mph speed limit. It would be faster, but it seems everyone on the planet knows about it now and is using it for a race track as you put it. Totally agree.

The Dragon isn't for thrill-seeking. Although I do love a curvy road every now and again, I don't drive them at break-neck speeds.
The Dragon is a ... ( 3 months ago by pcwalker)
The Dragon is a victim of it's own popularity. The higher numbers of users, the condition of the road, and other factors translate to the high number of officers you see on the road. You guys have it easy there. Much worse in my area of Texas.

No. I generally don't read all of posts on one video like I did on this one because I knew that the video was sensationalized. However, you will read in previous posts by two different individuals that computers and video equipment for law enforcement is exempt.
The guy shooting ... ( 3 months ago by shaggycowboy)
The guy shooting this video should have had his arse arrested. It doesnt matter if the camera had a screen or not, the fact that he was out driving on such a technical stretch of road recording (NOT PAYING FULL ATTENTION TO THE ROAD)he was distracted, period. Give it up and get a life. Its idiots like this guy that kill people and then try to get off because the LAW didn't specify exactly what they were doing. A bullet for people like this sounds real good. Good Job trooper, get em all....

Everyone who sided with the officer - I hope one of two things happens.
1. You have some sort of mechanical failure due to riding brakes, or engine "braking" while staying under 40 on the downhill stretches.
2. You momentarily go hit 40 mph and are issued a citation from the THP. That way you can't "get out of it" for $10 at the BCSO.
While I wish no harm on anyone, and do not condone reckless driving, I also do not like harrassment that causes a drop in tourism and a loss of money.

Don't believe me? Think I am just one of the dangerous people who drive the road and want the cops off of it? Google Dragon's tail and Tourism. Visit the officail dragons tail website. Or don't, you will come back and say they are all biased anyway.

I'm actually impressed with how patient the police are in this video. Recently here in PA, a teen videography student was placed under arrest and charged with felony wiretapping charges because he videotaped a police officer while he was being stopped.
Anyway, how did you make out in court, dragon?

Deal's Gap and the Dragon is the same thing, idiot. Plus, there's been like 12 deaths since '95. Maybe you should think before you post, hmm?

Dude, seriously stop being a dick to the cop. He is doing his job, and you did seem a bit distracted by panning the camera to view where all the police officers sat. You were in the wrong, hope that was a lesson took to heart.

easy there fredo, just because it's his job dosn't make a fact he will be calm and polite, i think most people realize that an officer can have about any attitude he wants to. I'm just giving him cudos for being professional, regardless of how legit the ticet maybe. albeit the whole situation out there is rather redicules though. Our governer in IL wants to do away with a volunteer group that helps bring in around 230 million of toursim for.......well i imagine he's working on a good reason

Your an idiot, YOUR putting peoples lives in danger driving with a video camera in your hand. Whether the law states it or not, you are being distracted by looking around with your video camera to video the police instead of paying attention to the road!!... If you had someone else in the car video taking then that would be great, but your a damn fool and a moron!!!

I was going to take the wife for a weekend drive to see the fall colors in this area but after seeing this video, no way. I will take my tourist dollars elsewhere. I don't need to be harrassed by a over whelming presence of law enforcement attempting to generate revenue by issuing petty citations. Place reminds of a visit to East Berlin in 1980. Being watched and harrased at every turn.

Perhaps the freakish numbers of police cars were the real distraction which should be dealt with. The area has poor cell phone coverage and is somewhat dangerous, but the ratio of police to other emergency vehicles is WAY out of whack.

Kudos to you Sir, for pointing out injustice and lawlessness in the Tennessee mountains. These yahoos with badges need to have their antics filmed more often. Glad you were exonerated.
