Ferrari driver's police-chief name-drop doesn't prevent a speeding ticket

KTLA 5's body-camera clip shows a Beverly Hills officer refusing both a warning and a negotiation.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 435,833 views a day, 29 times a normal first day on this channel (15,037).

The ticket wasn't negotiable. A Ferrari driver asked for a warning, then tried another question: "Is it negotiable?" The Beverly Hills motorcycle officer's answer was just as direct: "No, it's not negotiable."

KTLA 5's Short combines dashcam footage of the dark convertible traveling along a palm-lined residential street with body-camera footage of the stop. The officer tells the driver he clocked the car at 52 mph in a 25 mph zone, even after it had slowed down.

Before receiving the citation, the driver asks whether the officer knows Police Chief Mark Stainbrook and says he has hosted fundraisers for the department at his house. The officer confirms he knows the chief, but the conversation doesn't change the outcome.

The clip drew roughly 187,000 views in seven hours, already far beyond KTLA's usual full-day audience for a Short. Its comment section was also much busier than a typical first day, with viewers discussing the name-drop and the officer's response.

As he hands over the ticket, the officer explains that the speed is dangerous regardless of the vehicle, then tells the driver to say hi to the chief next time he sees him.
