yeah boi, first one to comment
ok..... watch how many replies are going to be posted here. lol.
All you that say this is a prank or April fool, think again
I just wonder how many times he's done this? Does Mr. James have a down n dirty criminal streak in 'im?
haha i watched that about a half hour ago...the state is forefeiting his truck! hahahaha
this is a joke
April Fools... come onnnnnnn
Stewie maybe f(*&#d;!!! With this crime being a felony and this happening often his lawyer may not be able to get this reduced to a lessor charge. Will he be able to race this weekend? I don't think so.
LOL ya can't make this chit up!!! Big James is gonna whip his azz!!
All you people think this is a joke? Why would the police do an interview about it? Come on.. get some common sense.
It's not a joke when it's posted on a legitimate new site...http://www.wftv.com/news/27353492/detail.html.
Stewie is officailly an idiot on and off the track now.
"new" = news site
Sweet truck
u need that light on your bike james
Whoo....
Wonder if Big James tore into him after he bailed him out...
First off, I can't believe how many people take pleasure in the misfortune of others. Yes it was stupid, but I doubt he realized he was committing a felony at the time. Was he really "Impersonating a police officer"? Yes he flashed the lights but according to the report, he never said he was a law enforcement officer. It was a stupid prank that went bad. I feel for him. Hope it all works out for the best.
I hope they prosecute Stewart to the fullest extent of the law. What he did was stupid and could have gotten someone hurt. What if the person he was flashing was a wanted felon and decided he wasn't going to be pulled over? Less serious, what if that was your girlfriend or wife and they got seriously freaked out over someone impersonating a cop? Women have been raped and murdered under that same scenario. I'm sure Stewart and pal were just having fun, but it could have turned out bad.
Oh, and anytime you flash emergency lights in your vehicle you're impersonating a cop. It doesn't matter if you flash a fake badge or not so that's not really even an argument.
troopers must have been a CR22 fan...
Bubba lost out on his teenage years so he's making up for it. Really though, some people get a bit caught up in themselves and believe they can make their own rules. Wtf was the 44 year old thinking???? Bubba needs to hang out with Sorby again.
I heard RD does this all the time be he is lucky and never pulls over cops. LOL
What was this boy thinking? Honestly though, whatever Big James does to him will be way worse than what the law hits him with. As Bernie Mac would say, "he gon' beat dat a#$". He seems to me to be a very bitter man. Take it like a man js7, do what ya gotta do and come on back, the sport needs you.
J-Law would never do that! BTW...who's J-Law?
Slaps forehead,....drags hand down face,........peeks through fingers,...........shakes head.........lets move on.....to the next spoilt brat.
Regardless of this incident, and regardless of how many stupid, un-called for comments i have made on here about JS......the guy is the best damn motocrosser i have EVER witnessed in my entire life. I get a little bent out of shape sometimes and act like a fool on here, but it's just because i don't like myself all that much......i guess i should say i'm sorry!! i am!!
tomktm and jonr290- you two made me laugh!!! js is done, and being "the fastest man on the planet" will not help him when his hommies in the big house look to collect...... if you know what I mean lol bye bye bubba
I call BS.
1. Why did they make this video?
2.Rado's only was tampering with evidence? He was the one yelling.
3.What are they chances of actually pulling over 3 police officers?
4. Is James dumb enough to run?
Doesn't make sense, how could he pull up behind and on the side at the same time. I think he was just trying to speed around town and got caught. Not really anything close to impersonating a cop. I'm sure being showed up outraged the off duty policemen. How many times have you been stuck in traffic and wished everyone would move out of the way. Unfortunately James didn't realize flashing lights are a felony. Seems like a honest mistake to me. Quite bashing because if you were stuck in a bottleneck and had lights to move everyone out of the way you would use them too.
It's April Fools, read the Racer X canceling April Fools article, they had cops and everything involved.
damn seizing that tundra, even if it does belong to a millionaire thats still about a $70,000 hit. ouch
I think he is gonna come back in Dallas and kick some serious ass on the likes of Reed, RV, Dungey and the rest of 'em!! I personally cannot wait to see it happen either!! I've been somewhat of a closet fan for years, but i'm not gonna hide it anymore!! Go get'em JS!! WootWoot!!
everyone needs to email AMA to have Stewart banned for life from AMA competition
Everyones just gotta chill about this. he was just having a little fun and just got into a little bad luck. what do u think the chances of running into an off-duty cop is? kids just having fun
At Defender72
You are way off. I work in this feild and any attorney could get James off. He did not Identify himself as an officer. County employees have emergency lights and so do on-call DR.s, i used to mess around with a Key chain and a PA and do the same stuff.. James did not get to have a childhood. His success is a result of EXTREME DISCIPLINE. All the Pressure must be released in some fashion.. GO JS7!
....sorry, my stupid racist comments were totally uncalled for. My bad!!
thats one nice truck !
I don't think police consider it having fun, many women have been raped by being pulled over by police impersonators.
I use to be a JS7 fan, but if this story is true then I have lost all respect for the guy and hope he rots in jail. Hes a moron and doesnt deserve the championship. If its an april fools joke...he is still a moron. Dont joke about this kind of stuff.
Sorry, but flashing some red and blue lights is NOT impersonating an officer. You sheep need to realize that this alll reeks of an April fools joke!!
Man, some of the various news and media sure like to make it more than it is....Sure, they can get him for the lights which was dumb....but I think just about anyone that saw this "monster truck" as one reporter calls it coming up behind them with lights on it wouldnt think that it was a police officer or any type of federal veichle....give me a break...if it was a federal or police vehicle, they would use the PA speaker and identify themselves if they were driving that "monster truck"......bad move...dumb move...and more bad luck.....but it was a joke and I think everyone learned a lesson....no criminal intent...just a rich superstar being stupid......
266jking, only law enforcement is allowed to have red and blue lights. All other emergency services/ other vehicles with lights are a sold color (some fire/ems are two colors but not blue/red). There is nothing in most states laws that allow DR's to run "code" and use lights (that would be a Felony).
As much as I would wish for it to be a April fools joke, I dont think so.....man...if it is I am a fool for sure....but Momma and Big James looked pissed....that you cant act....
Straight up bonehead stunt...let it go. Yes it's wrong, yes he will (and should) have to pay the price. We often assume that because someone is better that us at one thing, they are better than us at everything. James seems superhuman on a dirtbike, but he is not superhuman...he can have his head up his butt on any given day just like the rest of us. Let it go, let it go, let it go.
266jking: how am I "way off?" Is Stewart a county employee or an on-call DR? Talk to any cop. I work around cops all the time and I asked a few of them about this today and they all said the same thing: he' s busted. You absolutely do not have to flash a badge to impersonate a cop. This directly from a Florida officer:
It would be illegal in Florida - just to have the lights installed - whether they were in use or not. He would face arrest and could have his vehicle impounded.
Duh. He's using emergency lights and presenting himself in the same manner as a cop would in traffic. And I'm not saying a good attorney won't get him off relatively easy - because he will - but that has nothing to do with what I said. You are a total apologist for Stewart. You need to get past that. He didn't have a childhood, boo-hoo.
This is what happens when you don't race the outdoors!
its for real espn is also reporting along with his mugshot , its over no more ama no future in nascar yayayayayayayayaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
Below is the state law that says you cant do the light thing, doesn't say its a felony even if you read all the way through it. So unless the driver or passenger says they were a cop, which it doesn't sound like they did. Its gonne be pretty hard to take this to court as a Felony.
Florida Laws: FL Statutes - Title XXIII Motor Vehicles Section 316.001 Short title.
316.2397 Certain lights prohibited; exceptions.
(1) No person shall drive or move or cause to be moved any vehicle or equipment upon any highway within this state with any lamp or device thereon showing or displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front thereof except for certain vehicles hereinafter provided.
..........lists all color who and when........
(10) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318.
looked up 318, not seeing where red and blue make a felony.
Not a JS fan here, but this has been blown way out of proportion by some off duty cops.
When did we start calling 25 - 44yr old men "kids"? The same botards that think that just being a SX/MX rider people should "respect" them automatically. If the guy would just go to the airport with a PR man or a girl like a normal 25yr old millionaire, no he chooses a 44yr old loser that would stick his out a window and yell at strangers??
I think the real question that needs to be asked here is when is the Orlando police auction ?? I have dibs on the truck !
Just a little more information on this for those not familiar with the road James was on (SR 417). Its a toll road (ie an interstate). So to think that he was just using the lights to get around traffic and through stop lights is just not accurate.
Albeit a dumb move, Stewart doesnt deserve to be banned from the AMA, dont be rediculous. Some pro atheletes shoot themselve or others, have dog gambling rings, DUI's, lets not forget Pastrana almost killing his friend going 100 mph into a tree.....it was a dumb prank and will be treated as such....the Police didnt know it was James or "who" James Stewart was until after..... This was his first run in with the law and I am sure they will release a statement and it will all blow over.....
One of the reports says that after he turned on the lights and the car pulled to the shoulder Stewart rolled up alongside, lowered the passenger window on his truck and hollered at "Slow it down you guys!" and kept on rolling. In other words he had no intentions of actually stopping the other car or having any kind of an interaction other than a prank.
Stupid, but if intention counts- and it should- he will be severely reprimanded but not severely punished.
It appears to have been intended to be a victimless prank, and that explains a lot.
oops, sorry guys, i had a little relapse there!! I'm sticking to my first post up above!!
I think I saw him doing this in Daytona also...Remember Alessi pulling over for him???
a neighbor did this in front of my house to a couple of teenagers, no big deal i guess he was driving a piece of crap car and had no money, maybe if you worked your ass off in motocross since you were 4 you might just be able to afford that truck if not shut up and go back to racing at your local track, dont hate appreciate, we all do stupid stuff no ones perfect, racer x should maybe consider reporting on motocross and not someones misfortune, who knows racer x just might have made james richer for reporting this before innocent until proven guilty. hope to see you win dallas get it back together james you got the world in your hands dont throw it away. go ahead and continue to talk shit, some of us hate what we cant have
UMMMM, OOOPS, MY BAD! ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT HERE! I'm sure it was a situation where james got a bit ticked at the vehicle and let his stardom go to his head pulling a DUMBASS TOUGHGUY trick and got trumped in the situation. I don't really care for J-law, but you have to give the kid props for his ability to ride a motorcycle! James is in the same boat for me now. Let's jsut hope big Jimmy kicks his ass and straightens Jr out a bit. Can he come back? J-law hasn't! I really hope RD stands tough in the title fight form here on out. He fits the bill as the modern day Stanton. Hard worker. Not always the fastest. Overall good guy. and somehow finds a way to be " IN IT" at the end.
This is no big deal, people are making way more out of it than needs to be and bashing the guy far too much!! So he was having a little fun...big deal....let it go!! I just want to make sure we all get to see him out on the track in the future. The dude is just to amazing on a motorcycle to not have him out there!! Sorry, fact is fact!!
is it really that big of a deal??? come on man!!!! no wonder peeps are cappin them fools
Let it go? What are you "let it go" people even talking about? Do you think every MX website on the planet is going to "let it go"?
No way is anyone going to let this go...ever... face it, James has soiled his career with this move as some people are never going to respect him. Maybe YOU can let it go, but many people won't so get used to it.
This was not some "kid having fun" that's a weak way to look at it. If they didn't know it was wrong why did they run, and why did they hid the lights??? Guilty people run, guilty people hide evidence.
I'm really shocked that people are like "it's no big deal" because it is a big deal in this day and age. We all know that James was just having fun, and was not going to hurt anyone... but the reality is that people do use this ruse to rape, murder and steal from others all the time. And that's not a joke.
James knew he got caught... now he's going to have to deal with the repercussions of his actions. I hope the "fun" was worth it.
This is on all of the major news networks now. Either this is the biggest April fool's joke which has gotten totally out of control or it is for real. Also, please stop the racist comments (you know who you are).
Ryan 93 your right bad luck on their part.They were just trying to have fun.Back in the day you could get away with this.Now days people so attention starved trying to get noticed for ANYTHING,It's best to just do your own thing without bringing attention to yourself.Once you have a record It is there forever.But still GO REED!
Free Stewie!!! his not criminal his mx champ.
This is a pretty STUPID prank for JS7 to be doing, but come on! Stupid shit is pretty much common ground for 20 something males so it's not that big of a deal. His luck hasn't been too good lately and lighting that thing up on off duty officers just put the icing on the bad luck cake.
j law is still hiding under the back seat
What kind of "pranks" are felonies? Since when is a felony considered a mistake. Rapes, robberies, and murders have been committed by people posing as law enforcement. There are warnings to people about unmarked "police" vehicles. This is not a prank or a mistake nor is it funny in any way.
tampering with evidence and a felony? GIVE ME A F*CKING BREAK. suck a fat one florida police.
pizzacorner, did you ever see RC race before?? Whipped Stewoe for every motocross title he went for. RC4 is the best motocrosser I have ever seen race..
Seriously, I have never seen so many morons commenting on things than I have on the orlando sentinel and racer x. And here I thought racer x would be more understanding, but no, just a bunch of idiots making ignorant comments cause the internet has given them the power to do so. For one, realize he flashed blue and red lights and the vehicle in front of him pulled over, he did not pull over WITH the car, he wasn't dressed as an officer, he didn't try and act like an officer. He did not flee or run, he drove by and the officer in the car flashed his badge and said he was an officer. He didn't chase him, he kept driving and they called it in and showed up at the airport. Wow, big deal. what has happened to everyone, we are all nasty piece of crap humans who take something so small and blow it up and then act like he committed murder or is anything like J-Law cause it's the only thing to keep us away from our boring lives for 2 minutes. Get a life and stop wishing harm on people cause they made a small mistake.
UM, Don't most people pull april fool jokes in april.Duuuu.J-Stew and J-Law=Team Losers
man james needs to get larry brooks back .he is falling apart
Great another 'what if?" IF James didn't get arrested on 2011, he would have won the rest of the races. Or maybe he was testing it out for the 450? He could turn it on when approaching lappers!
Jokes aside I fell bad for him. He likely didn't realize the seriousness of his actions but stupidity is not a defense of the law.
so what bd200!!! James is still a better overall racer than RC....indoors and out!! The best i personally have ever witnessed!! Can't be denied!! IMO!!
that truck looks just like a cop car. daaaa
Excuse me Floridian1---Did he not act like an officer when he pulled up next to them, rolled down the window, and told them to slow down? Pull your head out.
If you watch the video from the Orlando Sentinal that RacerX posted, MORONS, you'll see a deputy sheriff or highway patrol officer explaining that:
a) This was a felony.
b) The state has confiscated Stewart's truck (forfeiture seizure because it was used in the commission of a felony.)
Now, f-off you Bubba nut huggers. Its is obvious, he is going to do some jail time and lose his truck. Florida is notorious for not cutting slack to high profile cases, impersonation cases, and felony actions by minorities. Stewart fits all of the above criteria.
LOL This isn't even close to what it sounded like this morning, just a damn joke at the WRONG TIME. We've all been there, done that. I feel bad for him. Just let him race AMA!
Where all da white women at?
Nice Truck.
Well, i'm a dipshit actually.....he wont do any jail time!!! Excuse me for awhile...i need to go pull my head out of my butt!! Sorry for the lame post!
...i guess the answer to my question is......they are probably with the rich guy, cuz' they are obviously NOT with my low-life hatin' ass!!
I used to work with ignorant cops everyday. They would always be going somewhere (lunch,donuts, court, whatever) they would constantly speed and weave in and out of traffic just because they were cops they think they are above the law. Point is they also do it in theyre own cars also, all they do when they get pulled over is flash theyre badge for a courtesy pass. This is probably what they were doin. Shoundnt have flashed the lights with that truck he should have run over them. Three less corrupt donut eaters.nuff said JMO
what a publicity stunt. he does make a good point though; i wouldn't pull over for a shady looking cop.
Some retard posted something above as if it was me, supporting James "The Felon" Stewart. It wasn't me. I don't support that disgrace to the industry.
I think James committed a crime, and it's a felony. I wonder how many women he has raped with his fake police light, and I wonder how many people he has thrill-killed with his fake police light.
He probably goes out and kills and rapes anytime he doesn't get his way. He sees the Supercross season slipping away, and he makes stupid and greedy decisions anyway. He probably feels entitled to act like a cop so he can have his way with innocent women, men and anybody he can victimize. I'm surprised he didn't have a cop outfit, a shovel, some visqueen and some rubber gloves with him. Maybe he did.
He set motocross back 40 years with this criminal act. Now everybody who hates motorcycle riders will point and say, "See? Motorcycle riders are punk felons." They won't let their daughters date motocrossers. They won't let their kids hang out with a motocrosser. They won't let their kids have a motocross bike.
James Stewart, you have ruined motocross for a lot of people. I'm sure you feel entitled to do that to our sport. Enjoy the karma.
Ah celebrity, wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
i'd be like yo that's not a cop it's james stewart lol.
Post 9/11/2001 the cops stopped giving out free passes to childish pranksters.
This looks like a childish prank.
James Stewart is a grown Man.
Felony convictions are no joke, they follow you around the rest of your life.
American criminal justice system is out of control, James Stewart's life appears to be spinning out of control, they make a cute couple.
Cherish and fight for your freedoms, there are government enteties dedicated to taking your freedom away as well as stealing your property in the name of "Justice".
I'm not a JS7 fan, but I hope he walks with the slap on the wrist, which is about all that this silliness deserves, and I really hope he can continue to provide the kind of on track entertainment we have all been privleged to witness this season.
Bad boys, Bad Boys....whacha' gon' do?
Flash cop lights 'till they let me through............ doh!
forget what the law says,what is in AMA rule book about a felony( it became a felony when he fled).he should be suspended and be held accountable for his actions. hopefully he learns and not take for granted the sport that many of us love and value.NOTE to AMA DO THE RIGHT THING.
@jairtime if you're serious, you are a douche and need to take a chill pill.
I just watched the racerx post of bubbas world season finale, stewart say at the end if this year 2011 he isnt champ then he is quitting , dont worry about quitting the AMA is gonna ban you , no you can ganster around and listen to rap all day
YES! YES!
What a n*gger
You know, this is the kind of thing that happens when you DON'T thank Jeebus on the podium.
Maybe one of his more pious competitors put the "smite my enemies" whammy on him!
ok, i think i need to go check myself in......i may have a multiple personality disorder!!! I'm wishy washy on this whole thing and i keep posting stupid stuff!! I am clearly NOT very happy with myself or my life...so much so that i feel i need to take all of my frustrations out on James Stewart.....my last post contained some seriously out of line comments.....i regret them all and i wont let it happen again!! Sorry fellow mx fans!
yamaha is currently putting together thier legal staff...BYE BYE BUBBA!
How in the hell can you say the guy "fled"?? Was he verbally told to pull over?? How is driving away from someone flashing a badge an indication of "fleeing"??? Seriously?? You all say how potentially dangerous it is for someone to flash lights as if they are a law enforcement official....how is it any different than some yahoo in an unmarked vehicle flashing a badge.....what authenticates that?? It could have just as easily been some jerk with a fake plastic badge. How in the hell is someone supposed to be able to verify that it is a legitimate police officer when going down the highway?? Hypocrisy.....stupid to flash the lights, yes....but to say he fled from law enforcement is ridiculous. Dont you suppose that a fake badge is how some of those more serious crimes have been committed by true criminals before??
I think this is a joke, but if not, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH. DUMBASS!
Tony. You are just a plan. A$$hole. Pizza corner What ever the hell that is .? You are definitely new to motox. And all. You have to do is check the records The goat.

I think the comment 'WHAT" posted above might just be the straw that breaks the camels back and gets this thread shut down!! Way to go racist idiot!! It is the best thing that could happen though.....this show of intelligence on here is extremely embarrassing!!
Jairtime, think about what you just wrote? Nothing could be more hateful than your post. James pulled a silly prank and I am sure he is embarrassed about it. From what I see, he's never had a childhood and has been under his Father's strict rule since he was almost born. He's had a lot of pressure on his shoulders each and everyday and just once he did the wrong thing. Big deal. As they say "those of you who have not sinned please step forward now".
Check this out!
"A disturbingly significant number of serial killers pose as police officers.This gives them a convenient pretext to approach and gain control over their victims without the necessity of putting them at ease. The FBI has noted that the serial killer's preferred color of automobile is blue because of its connotation with authority (maybe black for the same reason?). Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi, The Hillside Stranglers, posed as plainclothes police officers...Ted Bundy...posed as a police officer."
Quoted from Serial Killers: The Methods and Madness of Monsters, http://books.google.com/books?id=SfYFYEWb62AC&pg=PT265&lpg=PT265&dq=serial+killer+posed+as+a+cop&source=bl&ots=Este4xqd95&sig=IjUOHxreFEfDX1kXS8BVO1tIC_Y&hl=en&ei=BWySTYGIBYLCsAOrtejaBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f;=false
ok, so that was a stretch.....i admit it!! I hope my white jacket fits me!!
WHAT. That. Was completely un called for some are. Butt. Seriously
WHAT. That. Was completely un called for some are. Butt. Seriously
This is starting to sound more and more like a joke, or James is like me and gets mad at careless drivers and tried to scare the other driver. Just because they were cops does not mean that they were obeying the traffic laws, have you ever seen how some of them drive if so... you know what I mean. I have friends that are troopers and even off duty they are sort of reckless, and think that people should get out of their way...enough said!!!
James being Stupid YES! Criminal intent, I don't think so! Asshole cops being Asshole cops that think they can do anything they want because they are Asshole cops, YES!!! The way all those guys roll anymore is that you are guilty until proven innocent and good luck proving you're innocent. Now the Asshole cops are making sure they cover for these other Asshole cops. FAT, OUT OF SHAPE Asshole cops who for the most part suck the blood out of the tax payers! Asshole cops who will come along after you get nailed or shot or robbed or whatever you frikin name it, act like they are bothered by you and ooze attitude at you because they were bothered by you and then not do shit to help you while taking your tax dollars and then continue to be Asshole cops!!! Can you tell I don't like cops! That's right!!! Hope I didn't offend any Asshole cops!!! To the cops that don't fit the bill of what I described above, I think you are a minority among your peers! Sorry! Graveyards are full of people who thought their shit didn't stink!
Oh and whoever WHAT is, your a ignorant jack#$%^ fool, our sport does not need the likes of you. You probably don't even ride, moron!!!!
Jairtime. You are without a doubt Retarded you proved it now Please refrain from coming on this site. again. W t f
Take it easy! Sheesh...stupid prank but give him a break! He's not a criminal, just chose the wrong person to joke with!
Under the "Serial Killer" paragraph:
"He believes he can outwit and outmaneuver the police, sometimes posing as a police officer, and never expects to get caught (Douglas and Olshaker, 1999; Fox and Levin, 2005). If a serial killer is apprehended, it is typically only after he has eluded detection for weeks, months or even years (Hickey, 2002)."
Since when does being a fast motorcycle racer qualify you to be exempt from justice? I hope he gets an equal sentence to someone who doesn't have fame and fortune. The sport of motocross doesn't need someone who breaks the law, but it most definitely doesn't need someone getting off easy because of they're motocross status.

After hearing her explanation of incident, I'm guessing the cops were speeding and cut James off. He got pissed and thought he'd scare them. Big mistake on his part.
james owns the team now he will have to give himself a slap on the hand and a big fine..haha
Yo Jairtime , you sound like a idiot and a moron...now go away!!!!
DEFENDER72 SHUT THE F*CK UP YOU DUMB ASS P*SSY ASS MOTHER F*CKER QUEER BOY I WOULD GET THE BIGGEST HARD ON BEATING YOUR ASS B*TCH ASS
NOW THAT I'VE SEEN THE VIDEO IT DONT SOUND AS BAD. ITS NOT LIKE HE GOT OFF HIS CAR AND ASKED FOR LICENSE AND STUFF. tHE COPS WERE SPEEDING AND HE PULLED ALONGSIDE AND YELLED AT THEM SO THEY SHOWED HIM THE BADGE AND ISH WAS ON. THIS IS HIS FIRST OFFENSE SO HE WILL GET A DEAL BUT HE WILL DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY HRS. NO JAIL TIME FOR FIRST OFFENSE AND HE DID COOPERATE SO HE SHOULD BE OK.
nice truck!!
DUMB MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of JS7 how about J-Law(Breaker)??
it is what it is denial is not the answer insanity now has control of this website....run you retards run......you like apples?
has twotwo made js7 go crazy that and too many soil samples.
Its definitelly a real stupid move on JS, however it will never compare to killing animals like some hunters like RV do for fun .
He made a stupid mistake, let it go. I'm sure a lot of you have done worse, and for the sake of this great sx season I hope they put it all behind, or just get ready for a boring season
Not all cops are bad, don't stereotype. Don't speculate what the cops in question were doing either, none of us were there to witness the incident. Not covering for bad cops.
Some lines shouldn't be crossed, and this is one of them.
As great as the RacerX content is, I'm really starting to appreciate why MXA doesn't allow commenting on their site. Some of the post here don't speak well for the make up of the MX community.

What a freaking idiot!!!
Hey guys, do my posts make me sound like an idiot?? Am i grasping at straws here?? Should i get a life, well a life outside of the pathetic one i lead trying to drag James through the mud in any and every way i can?? I'm trying really hard to make him sound like a truly hardened criminal, am i pissin' in the wind?? Spittin' in the rain?? Damn it, am i barking up the wrong tree here?? HELP ME!!
hey PAO your girlfriend just left my house,it's ok,just let it go,just let it go...at least now she's happy...just let it go
I guess not having a license should help his focus for the rest of the series..
i think the prob is they want to make an exsample of him if the of duty cops flashed a badge how did he know if they were cops or not if people would treat people as people and not dirt it would be a better place the cops get a badge and a gun and they are god i have done worse when i was younger and cops took me home and had to deal with dad it was a bad day i think fine him community service but dont end his career over it people do alot worse and we never her about it and we all have done things we all are sorry for so before you all condem hime look at your self it ant wright what he did but no harm was intended im shore
I am a cop. Have been for 20+ years. I am also a father and a coach. I have worked with youth within my community since I was 16. I have started 5 different youth programs. I also race motocross. I have been at the track with James and Malcomb,,although they blew by me like I was sitting still. I have met their father. Good people,,,all of them.
Now,,,with that said,,,MR Harddog321,,,shame you feel the way you do,,,must have had some bad experiences with law enforcement,,but I will go to my grave knowing my family, the kids I coach, their families, and the people I deal with at work, think I am in your "minority." You are the type of people we deal with on a daily basis, but we still put our lives on the line to protect the people of the community. Even the ones that don't like us! So don't worry,,,your safe, I will still treat you and your family with dignity and respect, no matter how much you hate us! As far as Cops thinking everyone is guilty, that is not true. Cops develop probable cause, PERIOD! Its up to the courts to determine guilt,,not the cops.
James may have been playing a prank. The off duty cops may have been speeding. It will all come out in court,,,that's what our system is designed for. I really don't think anyone should be bashing, until they know the details.
PAO. That was one of the dumbest comments I have heard ! If you want to fluff bubbas. Balls. Go ahead. Butt leave RV. Out of it. Hey. Your. Girl just left lookouts. House. I saw her ! LOL
PAO. That was one of the dumbest comments I have heard ! If you want to fluff bubbas. Balls. Go ahead. Butt leave RV. Out of it. Hey. Your. Girl just left lookouts. House. I saw her ! LOL
This is either a very good Apirls fools joke or a very big joke finally gets caught!! I thinks its great either way!! He knows he blowed the season by being"the fastest man on earth that cant stay on two wheels"so he's getting all the attention he can by letting his I.Q.shine!!! Move over J-Law!!!!
Isn't this alot like the movie the fighter?! Mookie will be the next champion Stewart and pride of Haines City, James will get out just in time to coach him on his way.
What an idiot. but still pretty funny!
Everyone is so focused on the past, get over it. I'm pissing my pants laughing at how fun it would be to line up next to js7 in Dallas. I'm guessing that it would be pretty easy to break his concentration or get him a little rattled before the gate drops. The look on his face (mug shot) doesn't seem like he's having fun, or thinking this is just a big joke.
BA117...she just came back....are you watching me?LOL....NOW THATS FUNNY funnyhaha
what the hell is stewart dooing??? hes bein a total idiot he needs to focus on racing but this is still pretty funny
Guess we need to be looking for the Limited Edition Answer Motocross Gear to be released soon, rumor has it it will either be County Jail Orange or State Issued Black and White Stripes...........wonder what the butt patch will say?????? Maybe Plugged!!!!!!!!!
There is not a single perfect human being on the planet. We ALL make mistakes. James's lack of discretion will cost him, but as a fan that is an imperfect human...I would like to let James konow that I believe in him as a person and that he will learn from his mistake
my god, it ain't like he had drugs or something........they were goofing off & got busted....(in a bad way) have none of u people ever acted like a idiot! (on another note: that truck is freaking BADD!)
fue un boludo
He could flash them lights when he pulls onto the track in front of someone so they don't hit him.
He should be suspended for the rest of the supercross season and maybe beyond. Our sport doesn't need this kind of publicity. Apparently he's no different than some of those stick & ball athletes. YOU CAN TAKE 'EM OUT OF THE HOOD.......BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HOOD OUT OF 'EM.
sooo embarassing,,jartime needs to be banned period. dude do you live in alaska or what? sounds like you dont see the sun that often. this is such horseshit,,all you haters suck. he will come back and win..duh
I am now convinced that all of these bubba fans are complete idiots! It is one thing to defend his racing, but totally another to defend this felony offense. Grow up little kiddies, this is not how a mature adult acts!
Once, i was driving away from work on my lunch break, and a dark blue dodge intrepid started following me, like he was pissed off, so i sped away and tried to lose him, i thought he was a psychotic road rager and wanted to fight me. He followed me very aggressively for over a mile down three different streets. I really didn't want to fight him, i just wanted to go get a hamburger and go back to work. I even used a guy on a bicycle to help put some distance between us, but then i got stopped at the next light, with no where to go. So, I am looking around for a cop, to protect me from this guy, and i'm about to jump out of the car and take him on in the middle of the street, and all of a sudden this duetchbag turns on his dashboard police lights. HE was a fucxing cop in an unmarked car. He did not give me a ticket (i rolled a stop sign at 2 mph earlier) but he was very angry and yelling at me, like he was going to send me to the slammer. Some cops really ARE dildoooo's, it is very TRUE.
I would definitely throw the April fools’ joke out the window. I googled the officers name in the video. It seems that the Tiger Woods of motocross and Tiger woods have something in common. The same lady was assigned to their case.
Ya know James to me was an idol! i watched that kid grow up racing ever since he was on a 50! The guy has life by the balls! Everything he has ever wanted! and now some dum shit like this? Think about all the up and comers who look up to james! stupid choice by him and i think he is all done! sad to say cause he is an outstanding rider. But stick a fork in him folks he is all done! what a loser
Sheheen was the passenger but I don't see how he could yell at the cop with a mouth full of co*k
This is absolutely classic. Guess thats karma for knocking down RV2 last weekend...
I wonder how "the fastest man alive" is going to rebound from this one!
#7 = #338 its all downhill from here lol
I am embarassed that so many fellow MX fans refer to this as no big deal or just having fun. Know how many women have been abducted by killers using this tactic? I have no problem giving him the business with this either, because this is just a pure act of stupidity. It isn't bad luck or a bad choice...it is just completely idiotic. I don't want to hear about giving him a break or kicking him when he's down. Too bad James. I've been on James case for awhile concerning his actions as a professional with his racing actions but this is beyond comprehension for me. Pulling people over and telling them to slow down? This friend of James' seems to be a wonderful influence.
I really hope this a prank, and not for real, cause it's only going to make people like
Defender72 and mxster207 look like real people and not the cartoon caracters that
they are, what a bunch of freakin'' boy scouts. And by the way i have a daughter who
is smart enough to know if she's being pulled over by a real cop, teach your kids and they'll be smart. If this was James being a dufuss, then treat it as such, and not just an excuse to show your true predjudice feelings. By the way I'm a white man, before you come back with some stupid BS.
It was nice to see on several news stations across the country today that MX got it's first mention. Unfortunately, it was concerning the arrest of one of its biggest stars for being a complete jackass. Thank you James for representing the sport in such a positive manner.
Cutshall, how do you determine if you're being pulled over by a "real" cop? The only way to do that is to make note of the color of the lights. ONLY police officers have such lights, red and blue. In CT there are state cops in blacked out Chargers, Camaros, Mustangs, Explorers, and Yukons with red and blue lights in the grill and on the dash. No other markings. On a dark highway at night are you or your daughter NOT going to pull over for red/blue flashing lights? The cops pulled over thinking James "might" have been an official vehicle, so how does your daughter know how to tell? Hope she never gets pulled over by an undercover car and decides wrong.
@Jairtime, if stewart really is a 'serial killer', then why wouldn't he just kill villopoto, dungey, canard and reed ? Then the 2011 titles would be all his for the taking. Why would he waste his time with women driving alone on the freeway at night ? You are not making any sense at all.
James is been doing this with lights for a few years now. So is not bad luck. I almost got in trouble two weeks ago. Now big james is kicking me off. I say screw them all.
Just imagine if the Duke Boys lived in Florida!! Good thing we didn't have the internet back then!
i votid fer obomu cuz heez gud at reedin stuf. stay in school!!!!
Maybe James was contemplating a career change after dropping back to 4th in SX.
no more james ............
James Lawrence strikes again! No, wait, Jason Stewart. Bubba 338? Actually, it was just a boneheaded move. If Sorby's right in his comment, then he does deserve to pay big time, though I'm wondering who will end up with that nice Toyota. I'm guessing he won't miss Dallas but it will cost him a LOT of money to post bail. I wonder what Chad, RV, Trey and RD have to say about all this (THERE'S your interview Racer X!). Villo is probably thinking this is the break (sans surgery) he needed to make up for last years "break". Depending on the outcome, I can't help but wonder how this will play out in the title chase. If James misses one race, he could still win the title. If he misses two, he's out but will still make it a nightmare for anyone he beats with the hole shot, especially Reed.
So, BK-R......if i'm driving down the highway and i pass an unmarked vehicle and someone in the vehicle flashes a "badge" at me from inside their car and i continue to pass them and drive away, am i fleeing the scene?? resisting arrest?? How could those two be sure that the gentleman in the car were really legitimate law enforcement officials??
Since jairtime has asted like such an a$$ I will tell everone his backround. He is from Vegas and raced as a kid and always got smoked and never made out of the novice class. Then he became a Evil Kenevil want a be and did these stupid little jumps around town (100' sometimes one handers) Jumps the average 10 year old can do all day long and just made a a$$ of himself. When he failed at that he tried teaching motocross schools and failed at that. Remember he couldn't get out of the novice class. Everyone in Vegas used to laugh at this guy because he was such a Dork!! I have heard enough out of this dunb a$$ and I thought you guys should know what idiot Jairtime is. (Everything I just wrote is 100% true )
I'm somewhat taken back from reading some of these posts :-(
Forget Stewart for a moment, stupid stunt........This is a great argument for why police should ONLY drive around in marked patrol cars with lights on top and do away with unmarked cars. If there are no police markings, you know its NOT a cop and wont pull over and be raped, robbed, murder by an imposter. (its such a problem some states are considering adopting this policy) That's the reason why they made it felony to have/use those lights because you could impersonate unmarked cop car. So to solve the problem, GET RID OF UMARKED COP CARS!!! Then there will never, ever be any confusion if its a real cop or not, period.
I don't know what would be better...if JS was kept in jail, or to let him race this weekend. Either way, he could take it the hard way. Looking forward to his fan reception.
I wonder what Nike and San Mauel think. Jeff Emig lost his ride for rumors of him smoking wacky weed.
I wonder what Nike and San Mauel think. Jeff Emig lost his ride for rumors of him smoking wacky weed.
I don't know about that, Johnny. They never would catch guys like that if cops had to be in obviously marked cop cars. A lot of off-duty or plainclothes cops solve a lot of crimes that a uniformed cop might never see.
San Manuel, My bad.
Cutshall, is your head buried in the sand? Why are you still entertaining the idea that this is a prank? Have you seen any news reports tonight? Geez, get up to speed here, you're slowing everyone down. And you're right, I'm a freakin' boy scout because I don't stick lights on my dash and pull people over. Brilliant.
BTW, if you have someone behind you flash lights and you're not sure if it's legit, keep on driving and call 911 and tell them what's going on. They can confirm if it's a cop or not and, if not, a cop will be there quick.
Bill Petitt ,thank you for an actual take on the topic.. I hope JS7 learns from this and squares himself away , we have all made mistakes. It was dumb and it will cost him more than money. All the haters and racists will have their day now. Me, i would like to find jairtime and choke him out then have defender72 defend me because he wants "the fullest extent of the LAW", then he could go straight to hell with his fellow lawyers and smoke....what a couple of wankers.
I wonder, was this a move to increase his redneck fan base ?
yee haw, mofos.
-TOO MUCH TIME AND MONEY ON HIS HANDS !
-MAYBE NEXT YEAR U CAN TRY TO REGAIN THE # 1 PLATE IN SX AFTER REEDY WINS THIS YEAR
-MAYBE YOU CAN ATTEMPT ANOTHER HALFAS* RUN AT THE OUTDOORS THIS YEAR AND GET SMOKED LIKE YOU DID LAST YEAR WHEN YOU TRIED OUTDOORS
Tonewall, sure I'll defend you, but I'm not a lawyer and I guess that's about what you deserve. For the record, I have nothing against Stewart, I'm not a hater and I'm certainly no racist. You're the one playing the race card here. I would have said the same thing if it was Dungey. Whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony, I'm just saying he broke the law and he should pay. It wasn't a "mistake" it was a willful action. I bet you wouldn't be so forgiving if he weren't a star motocross racer.
Poor bloke. Hope he gets to race the rest of the season. But, everyone knows you don't impersonate a cop. Thats just plain dumb.
Getting locked-up with "Bubba" doesn't have the same ring to it now.... haha
I've just read your comment about people using your alias and making silly comments. I wouldn't do that and don't like the fact that some people are abusing this easy to use system BUT, your statement about finding out whodunnit tomorrow at work is pure bull. I'm calling you out buddy, put up or shut up as the saying goes.
Very dumb move by james but who was the perp with him this guy looks shady
Tonewall, if it was your little sister or your mother getting pulled over by some stranger in a big black truck posing as a law enforcement officer, and it wasn't really an officer, it would probably scare you and upset you. It would upset anybody who was the one getting pulled over, and it would scare their family members. One has to wonder what his ulterior motive was. I don't care what he says it was, it might be something he would never admit. I'm just glad he tried to pull over some real cops. They probably put a stop to a long string of these unsolved felonies.
I'll just say that a close relative of mine was duped in a similar manner and raped with a knife against her throat. All these years I've wanted to get my hands on him. You can't imagine the rage when that happens to someone you love. To see some no-rules, entitled egomaniac posing as a cop and pulling people over, it's easy to imagine him wearing the shoes of a potential rapist or murderer. If he's capable of impersonating a cop and pulling someone over to the side of the road, what else is he capable of? I shudder to think about it.
Ralph Shaheen probably posted the bail. Who is Bubba's PR guy now that Brooks in gone? He got lucky getting out when he did. I wouldnt want to be the one explaining that one to sponsors like Nike. The upside is that the "Bubba's World" TV ratings will go up now. This one might even be on "Cops".
I did the same thing when I was in high school, except I pulled over one of my friends not some random person!
jaittime, really? I shudder at your inane comment.
On the one hand, a total bonehead move, and anyone in James' position should think a little more before doing stuff like that. On the other hand, it seems they were just f-ing around on the way to the airport. Its not like he was in uniform and set on beating whitey with a billy club. I gotta wonder, would there be more laughing than b*tching if this happened to an FMX star?
This incident seems to mirror his season, a little mistake that may otherwise have gone unnoticed got exacerbated by bad luck and wreaked havoc.
While this is not cool at all, I still believe James is a good dude and a heck of a racer.
Does anyone else find this video kinda strange ? Its more like they're trying to sell the truck !
Can't wait to hear Frodaddy's comments on Speed this week. I remember him losing his Kawi ride in 1999 when they got rid of him as if he was Pablo Escobar. I hope this doesn't turn into anything like that, when a ride, endorsements etc...are pulled.
Kawasaki might have gotten rid of Fro, but I doubt Yamaha or any of Bubba's other sponsors would get rid of Bubba with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton leaning on them.
@Ride2. By far the best post on any of these threads so far, regarding the stewart situation.
I hope shaheen and emig stop doing the stewart token black guy crap now,did anyone notice when emig did the race tips thing b4 toronto it was about stewart and whether or not he can last 20 laps being injured and all from the last race. WTF! i thought the tips were for everone its really bad, who cares he's a spoiled punk now he thinks he's above the law!!!!! james 'convict' stewart total idiot.
@verge, i was thinking kinda the same thing, nowadays these things happen and it turns out to be a blessing in disguise. its sad but james convict stewart will probably make $$$$ on this.
If RV put red and blue lights on his helmet, do you think bubba would pull over for him in Dallas???
Have anyone of you realized it's not April yet it's not a prank until April 1st it's still March HELLO!
Yamaha645 is an even bigger idiot than I thought.
Yamaha645 sucks.
Don't worry everyone. bubba will be alright. He will pay his way out of this mess just like tiger and kobe did. I feel bad for the kids that look up to these clowns as role models. He is a typical young athelete with too much money and fame that has gone to his head.
Defender72 you don't know what i deserve and you sure want to sound like a lawyer. Does anyone (including you)have all the facts yet , before he gets" the fullest extent of the LAW ".. was he proven guilty while i was'nt looking. jair your comments are so overwhelming the site and are mostly idiotic shit with nothing to do with topic so don't blame me if i don't read them when you actually say something decent. NO one in my family is DUMB enough to pull over for anybody but a marked police car unless in view of witnesses. These sites used to be fun racing takes and enjoyable ,not so much anymore.
i still think its ALLLL a joke somehow all these people are in on it...... anyone agree?
@jairtime... If the story is true what happened to your relative.. Even though i don't like your comments and therefore you as a person.. Sorry to read that man.
U got to make some simple guidelines man... Over here in Holland... Unmarked police cars who CAN stop other vehicles.. The cars are manned with at least 2 police officers in uniforms. Now if they do not wear a uniform... They can NOT stop a car.. And have to call for backup. Simple? Unless they are pursuing a suspect.. Then those rules do not apply.. However they still call for backup to assist when possible.
But again... Cops over here or in europe are not as trigger happy as the ones in the US.. And even though a simple high school diploma suffices to be a cop (At least over here)... Give credit to those guys (cops)... They try to serve and protect against a shitty pay.
Well.. Yamaha is in a dilema.. They have no other rider capable of winning.. Milsaps is a utter waste of space on the track who gets millions to finish 10th or worse... Brayton is still too unproven and relatively old for motocrosser... Sipes is old and is still in the 250 class... Regal is Regal... And no other rider seems to be fond of the latest yamaha yz...
Stewie's season is over anyway.. Just see RV come back and win.
This just in.........A new team announced- JAIL BIRD RACING.....formed by JLAW and Stewart. At least one of them will be out of the slammer come the main event......hopefully!!! LOL WHAT A COUPLE OF STUPID BUMS!!!!!
Regardless of what your name is, if you are a superstar such as James Stewart you are always in the spotlight of media. They are going to watch your every move and try to get any story possible. Why is everyone getting so upset and calling James stupid and what not? Nobody is perfect. Sure they are supposed to be a role model for kids but does that mean they can't make mistakes? Anyone who is being disrespectful towards James for a kid just being a kid and having fun then you are clearly illiterate and see only one side of the fence. Haven't we all made dumb mistakes that we thought were funny to begin with? Do you think all this gossip everyone is writing about Stewart really matters? No. Stewart IS the FASTEST man on the planet and this is not going to change that whatsoever. Quit being so jealous of James Stewart's fortune and fame, and shut up and watch moto!
Man oh man!! James, what did you do to yourself? Doesnt make any sense! When you are supposed to be concentrating on a championship, youre out here doing the most ignorant thing a man in your position could do! What the hell was he doing with the lights in the first place? Does he want to be a cop? Or does he want to be a Supercross/motocross champion again? Doesnt look like it to me! Now you got your ass backed in the corner. You took your fame and talent forgranted. Now what do you think is going to happen? There are ALOT of people who wanted you to fail. You just made things alot better for them. I really really hope you and your career can recover from this! I for one hope you can. But what you did was a serious mistake. The law is nothing to mess around with. They dont care who you are unless you are contributing fiinancially to their campaigns to be in office! Damn! Your creditability just went out the door, homeboy.. Next episode!
God this so pathetic its not even a big deal just been blown out proportion, he will just get a slap on the wrist and it will be forgot about come dallas.
Oh by the way! The 44 year old should have been the mature one and told him to put the damn lights away and told him "are you crazy?" But these two fools have been friends for awhile and it just shows it doesnt matter how old you are. You can be stupid and immature at any age. I think its time to grow up gentlemen!
Oh its not a big deal? How would you feel if you had truck taken from you? I dont care if Stewart is a millionaire! Its almost the same as if it was stolen from him! Oh I bet its a big deal to him and being charged with a felony! Pretty big deal to me!
april's jokeeeee! for suree
I have a idea,......CANADA !!!! lol...ya might even win up here...But I dunno these boys are pretty dedicated to their profession just say'n LMFAO....
If that was my kid & thats the worst thing he ever done I think i'd get over it. I've done stupider things, i'm sure most people have. Just wrong place wrong time. Everyone does stupid stuff, James just picked the wrong car at the wrong time. Its not like he slept with 20 girls behind his wifes back!
thats not a felony is it?
nm, you'd have toi get thru customs to ride in canada, thats out......
TIS NOT JAMES ??????????????
everyone gave me shit about not liking stewart and liking reedy n rv. but i guarentee you that reed nor rv will ever be so stupid to do something like this. so ya im glade im not a james stewart fan
Kirst Racing,,,, Oh give me a break !!!
let he without sin, cast the first stone...
period.
"RECESSION IS WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOR LOSES HIS JOB!"
"DEPRESSION IS WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB!"
"AND RECOVERY IS WHEN BARACK OBAMA LOSES HIS JOB!"
Once a punk, ALWAYS a punk!
After watching the interview with the trooper it sound more like unauthorized use of an emergency light than impersonating a police officer, he never pulled behind the vehicle only alongside of it and they never identified themselves as police...I think if there had not been off duty troppers in the vehicle it would have never gone this far.
He'll get a good lawyer and get the charges reduced to a misdemeaner with a suspended sentence and community service. As long as it is his first arrest.
Dude needs to stop hanging with 44 yr olds with poor judgement. Pivotal time in JS life for sure.
Hollywood James probably didn't know how illegal this little joke was... and what are the odds of it being a police vehicle ?? There are plenty of seized, unmarked, odd vehicles used by the police in our state.... A day in jail... public apology, and community service doing MX clinics for the kids.... I want to see him race again...I love this season !! All you fastest man on earth guys.... the fastest man is the one over the finish line first.... the rest is just minor footnotes...
James: Just wanted to let you know how much we love you and how much your friendship has made to our entire family over the years. We sure enjoyed watching you and Malcolm grow up and it seems like just yesterday when you were coming through our pit asking if we had anymore of those "cinnamon buns" that I used to make on race days. Get your mom and dad together sometime and come up for a visit. See if we can't scrape together some cinnamon buns. Love always and God Bless, The Joiner's
OldHuskyGuy
How could JS7 not know this was illegal? He's 25 years old. When does common sense come into play? I like the comment on the fastest man on earth. Just too add to it, When people line up at the gate against 19 other racers in the Main this is straight up racing.
Everyone - I have THEE scoop here. This is the way it went down according to the OPD.
The sedan pulled out in front of James from a side road, after speeding around a corner.
James may have seen this as other "kids" driving fast and decided to "teach" them a lesson. But that is speculation at this point.
James rolled up behind the car and started following closely. He then backed off and flipped on a red/blue flashing light that was affixed to his dash. The driver of the car, did not pull over right away. Stewart kept the lights on for long period, still following.
After some time (about 30 seconds) the driver of the car finally pulled to the shoulder, thinking that perhaps it was a fellow cop that knew him or one of the other officers in the car. They were highly suspicious because no one in the car recognized the vehicle.
Stewart pulled over to the shoulder behind the car with his lights still on.
Then, Stewart pulled up next to the car quickly, at which time the passenger in his truck rolled down the window and yelled "something about slowing down".
The officer driving the car, had pulled his badge and police ID.
At this time, the officer intended to ask for ID but Stewart sped away.
The officers followed the truck, and dialed 911 - a seven minutes 911 call is on record.
Stewart admitted to "just having fun" but the police were having nothing of that.
According to Florida law - you are supposed to stop when an officer identifies himself and asks for ID. Stewart did not, so they nailed him with felony evasion.
It is also against Florida law to have red/blue combo lights in any vehicle unless operated by a sworn law officer.
I'm a Stewart fan, but this was just a stupid stupid thing to do. Two years ago in Orlando a woman was abducted and raped by a man in a "dark colored pickup truck" posing as a cop with flashing lights. The women got away by the the cops never found the truck or the driver. The cops don't suspect James of anything of the sort, but pulling a stunt like this, is NOT going to sit well with the police or judges.
The fact that James is a celebrity (of sorts) will probably keep him out of jail. Because I'm sure the judge will see community service as a better way to help others not make the same mistake.
He has never done 1 thing wrong he is a outstanding citizen of the community hes a role model it even says welcome to Florida home of James Stewart on the city welcome sign this is whats gonna happen!
1.The DA is gonna say wtf did you arrest him for Mr.James we will drop the charges to a misdemeanor if you plea guilty pay a fine maybe do a couple hrs community service @ the most! and pay the impound fees and you can get your truck back Thank you Case Closed
I'm 42 and still immature.
above all of it,their takin his truck..so the prick judge,or state trooper,or governor,or hell...even obama..is gonna get bubbas what..,60,000 dollar truck..thats bullcrap..if i got pulled over for it,i wouldnt have made the news in my hometown,which is only like...100 square foot,lol..look up vidor stabbing on youtube and youll see my freakin hometown,but i mean..he shoulda got in trouble..yes,but they went to far,with takin the truck and all that bs..
Good God, what's the average age around these boards, 10? And come on RacerX, how about a little administration of these boards, the racism is completely uncalled for and shouldn't be tolerated.
When you look at past motocrossers who have been in trouble with the law, it hasn't been good for their careers. Should JS get a pass? I honestly hope not, even though I'm sure it was meant as prank. Should it be a career ender, I would hate to see that.
Pay the fine, do the time, make your apologies, and then back to what you do best.
Better hope the Judge isn't a Chad Reed fan.
it's for real....live outside of Orlando....check out local stations website:WESH.COM
the cops are just pissed that stewart wipes his ass with what they make in a year...dirty cops....they wouldnt have caught his ass on bike! haha

JS should make light of it and run the lights on his bike in the next SX
Seriously? Some of you feel sorry for James because he "never got a chance to be a kid". And even worse, you excuse him because of it? He's not a kid any more. I didn't have the best upbringing either, but I don't use that as an excuse to commit felonies.
This wasn't just a couple of guys "having fun". Having fun is getting together at a motocross race with friends. It's having a barbecue in the back yard, or watching a great basketbal game. "Just having fun" is NOT committing a felony. Face it, just like his idol, Tiger Woods, he's got everything he ever wanted, now he has to find ways to get thrills. At least Tiger was smart enough to not commit a felony.
Florida is the largest drug trafficking state in the nation with half a million illegals and the State police are bragging about this arrest? unbelievable.....
If it were any one of us we would still be sitting in jail and they would be checking DNA samples trying to pin other crimes to this little "prank". I know I'm happy that some of you feel celebrities should have a different set of laws to follow. I have seen people refer to Stewart as a kid or adolescent. He's 25 freaking years old.
Hope this didnt ruin larry's family vacation...
@motorhead.. On the contrary.. This just spurred Larry to extend his family vacation!!!! He did not want to deal with all the negative press this might cause...
I don't think that the police are bragging about this arrest, and it would not have made such headlines if there was no chase to the airport. All I have to say is that this supports my Bubba is not a good role model for kids. Probably some how this is CR's fault and if he wins the championship it won't be "straight up" anyone who prevails over JS will never get the credit due to them because for some reason JS is thought of as some super hero. He obviously is not a super hero just another person that can lose and get caught. Money prevails in the court system and JS will do the minimum sentence possible for his crime.
Come on Bubba fans chill out,You can get away with murder if you have money in the good ole USA. Remember OJ ? Hell look at all the S#!T Sheens got off with. Poorer men would be up shit creek without a paddle. Bubba will be back kissing babies and Imploding on a racetrack near you soon.
When I was 16, borrowed my dads 3 on the tree pickup with a camper shell, on Halloween night, me, 3 buddies in back, 14 dozen eggs. I slowed down, it was dark, and a car came up. Before the car went around us, my buddies flipped up the rear camper door above the tailgate, unloaded a dozen eggs on what we thought was our buddies car. Friggin Sheriffs Deputy...........It took the local rural surgeon 6 hours to extracate my dad's foot from my ass. Talking about buzzkill.
I have an inside source that told me JS7 cannot leave the state until after his court date.
Bubba scrub just got a whole new meaning.
I was hoping James would get beat on the track by his competitors, not off the track by himself. It sucks for the fans because now the bubba-heads have a whole new batch of excuses.
Any statement from JSE? Didn't think so, He is guilty as charged
Just in,......James will not be racing in Dallas. he cannot leave the state of Florida.
I did not see sorby around when they let little james out of the cop shop,
I guess he showed his true colors. lol
ha ray for Racer X for non censorship!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid move.Period.
Hope he's still racing Seattle. Heck will even give em a police escort.
Nah maybe not.
"We hope to continue to allow commenting on our site without logging in, but if we continue to see racist, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate comments here, we're going to be forced to switch to a registered log-in system only." Uhhhh, i think it may be time to back this statement up RacerX!!
Makes me want to go to Dallas and sell those flashlights the spin around with the reflectors like a cops lights.....in blue & red only of course.
Calling for an AMA ban for life?! You must be one of the one's afraid JS will beat your favorite rider heads up; like he always does.
This isn’t even that bad. Yes, it was a poor decision. Yes it could’ve been worse. But, at the end of the day it wasn’t. Get off your high and mighty horse about “what about the kids” and “what if it was your wife/sister/daughter”; it wasn’t! Parent your own kids and strive to be their role model.
I bet JS won’t miss a race. It’s hardly as detrimental to society as some have trumped it up to be. There was zero kidnapping and zero displays of violence. He’ll pay a fine and do some community service. Mean while, he’ll still line up at the gate and gain points in a championship series he very likely will not win.
I agree Mx Jesus!! And the song for JS7 will be the Bad Boys theme!! Whacha Gonna do??
I am sure if it is fact JS7 is not allowed to leave Florida, he is not considered a flight risk and they will give him permission to go to Dallas....Heck , all they need to do is check up in Racerx Twitter and they will see he is at Dallas setting the fastest laps and on his way to the biggest F U all win of his career ......hopefully.
I am betting that with the size of James truck and the height, he couldnt even see dudes ID.......and it could have been a gun, so he bailed!
sounds like these off duty officers were driving around like a-holes as well.....
A.) Its not a joke. It is on the news here in Florida.
B.) I'm sure that all of you that are throwing JS under the bus are satisfied with every decision that you have ever made. You are extremely blessed to have never messed up and done something dumb. I'm very jealous of you, what with being perfect and all.
C.) People that enjoy other's mis-fortune make me sick.
D.) If I was a lesser person, I would say that for all of you perfect people out there, If you ever do something that you regret, I hope it screws you over as bad as possible, just like you wish bad things on others. But since I'm not like that, I hope that if you ever have difficulties, everything will turn out for the best for you.
E.) Oh yeah, I got so caught up in all of this Soap Opera that I forgot that this sport is about a bunch of very fast athletes, doing awesome stuff on dirt bikes!
Game over!
I'm not falling for this. I'm still getting over the Everts riding in the States april fool... Man that would of been specail.
This is an April Fools... you dont think James Stewart has the pull in ORange County to make this happen? Come on, This is sad beacuse it will be like the boy crying wolf... Better come clean before this goes to far, I think it already has.
I don't know why anyone would be "enjoying" this. It's not good for motocross, it's not good for James. It's not good for anyone.
It was a stupid stunt that might have at the very least ruined his season. That alone is enough to make a big deal of it.
and moto 153... yeah we have all done something dumb? But this isnt dumb! If this did happen to be true he should be thrwon in jail for a long time... this is just ignant
If this is true James by now, would of made an apology to all his fans unless he's an idiot and don't care bout um.. People always say on here that he's always goofin around trying to be funny and that.. I just see it as that. Him trying to be funny again.
If you listen to the audio of the 911 call it definitely sounds like they were just goofing around and hit the lights behind the wrong vehicle. They didn't run after seeing it was cops they just drove off and the off duty police stayed behind them. I'm not excusing James' stupid actions, but he certainly didn't mean any harm by it.
I am most interested in the AMA's stance on this. Do they have a code of conduct policy similar to other professional sports associations? If they do I'm sure being convicted of a felony (if he ends up being convicted) would certainly result in some sort of suspension.
Someone has the 911 call posted over on VitalMX forums if you haven't heard it yet.
Frankthetank:
Please re-read my statement and replace my word ("Dumb") with your word ("Ignant"). My point is still the same.
BTW, did you actually watch the report? He flashed a light at someone, then pulled up beside them and told them to slow down. That's all. Was it dumb (or ignant)? Yes! Does it warrant being "thrwon in jail for a long time"? Um....Probably not.
I dont think the AMA will need to take any action on this, nor should they. This is not really realted to the AMA.....Did the AMA get involved when past riders got popped for drugs or when Pastrana almost killed his buddy. If it happened at an AMA event, then they could do something......They may tell James, dont pull that crap here....but the AMA banning James or taking any action is highly unlikely....not their jurisdiction so to speak.
I am poaching this from a message board but I love it... "little guy with a bubble butt in jail... I guess he will soon find out if he is really the fastest man on the planet". BAAHAAAAAAAA
JS is a JA... Rides and apparently lives with complete disregard for those around him.
you guys are gay
This wasn't a stupid stunt where he just had a momentary lapse of judgement.
He went out and purchased these lights for this reason. Why else would he have them? Do some of you really believe this was the first and only time he pulled this? Only thing stupider are his dance moves!
I used to be a fan. Now can't stand the most arrogant man on the plant
If there was a time for Florida to have the death penalty, now is the time to enforce it.
Wonder if JS7 buttpatch this weekend will say A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
Advance happy april fools everyone.. ;)
So comforting to see that 1/4 of motocrossers would do the same thing. This is serious business. If he tried to pull me over I would freak out. I would follow him, and I would beat the crap out of him. These kinds of things easily get out of control. What if it was a young woman, who couldnt make sense of the big car? This is a huge lack of respect both for the police, but also for usual citizens. Im 23, and I dont see it the least bit funny. Of course people suck these things up. When arrogant dbags go down, its fun. I enjoyed the fall of Jlaw, and will do the same with Stewart. Am I a bad person? Maybe, but at least I know how to behave "in real life".
Excuse my english. I hope its april fools.
joker529 his buttpatch is going to say "no entry"
It made it in my paper this morning. Kind of looked like a mug shot.
don't know what's up with stewart, his head has been in left field past month or so on and off track, doen't make wise decisions on the track been screwing up there and now this. what's going on? too much money make you this dumb? just saying
Maybe if geting beat every weekend doesnt do it, this will shrink that giant ego of his.
When is the police auction? because i'd like to bid on that truck
I honestly cannot believe the level of pure hatred you shallow people on here spew out of your mouths. It is really pathetic!!! Even with this incident, i'll bet James Stewart does more for charity than most of you who are tearing him down combined!!! WHat is it like being the perfect human beings you all present yourself to be??? Make sure you think twice before you get mad at somebody on the road....YOU don't know who the next person YOU b i t c h at might be either........SHameful people.....shameful!!
hope he races and works to get this behind him. But now wondering about his next press release if any and what he will say if on the podium, will speeed bring it up or will they be informed ahead of time not to, will he be booed, just gotta wonder how tough if will be for him at his next race. No excuses thoughs, dumb move and prices to be paid.
Just heard ! James might not be able to leave the county because of BOND ?
Just heard ! James might not be able to leave the county because of BOND ?
I agree with Shame on you people! SHAME ON ALL YOU PERFECT ASSHOLES!
sounds like a big prank to me idk how hiding the light would be tampering with evidence!!! maybe an obstruction of justice charge but def not tampering with evidence. all he did was slow down the police if it were a real crime that is.
and i meant slow down as in after the on duty cops caught up with him at the airport
I think James should lose all of his sponsorships. This sends what kind of message to kids? I am all for a prank. But, impersonating an officer and then fleeing the scene??? Come on! James will sell his buddy down the river. His buddy is being slapped with a felony. James only gets a slap on the wrist misdemeanor. Not right. Not right!
We dont know all the specific details....if the lights were not James and the idea was his 44 year old buddies, then James could be an accomplice ....I dont know how they would be able to identify the off duty cops ID from way up in the air of james' truck...if they even saw it at all....so they may not knwo they were cops...the off duty cops didnt say anything, just pulled out and ID, which could have been fake too....Bad idea, bad situation, but it was all just a joke that went bad....Stewart has kept his nose clean for along time as far as any law breaking....slap on the wrist is all he deserves, now lets go racing.
Were those of you that are calling for JS to be shot, drawn and quartered, hanged and then burned calling for the same treatment when Ryan Villopoto got in a fight with JLaw at Hangtown in 2007? I mean after all he actually struck another racer with his fist out of anger. Come to think of it, Villo should have been banned from the AMA for life, and thrown in jail.
There now I feel like I fit in with you "Saints" that can't stand others, and over-react just because you don't like someone. You would be singing a different tune if your favorite racer was in the same situation. I'm not condoning what he did, I'm just saying that maybe its time to put down the torch and pitchfork.
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS NUTS, BUT MARK MY WORDS MALCOMB AND JASON "J-LAW" WILL BE ON THE SAME TEAM FOR THE OUTDOORS. U WILL SEE.
Moto153,
I'm with you. We should also hang Chad Reed upside down by his thumbs for taking out James a few weeks ago. I also heard Ryan Dungey give thanks to Jesus and Windham gave a fan a dirty look once. Like you, I think we should just ban all the pros so you and I can race the series. There would be a lot more crashes.
Give him a break!!!! James was goofing around - went a little too far - and now he found out it was a serious line he crossed. He is great talent and roll model. Let him learn from it, which I'm sure he will and let's all move on.
I say, at the most, give him probation and some community service. It is not like anyone got hurt or he intended to hurt anyone. Just a prank for some fun - I'm sure he needs some fun and release with all the pressure that mounts on him from everywhere!!!
Now back to a great competitive season.
TSM racing has said on its web site that JS7 will be racing in Texas and that James is sorry for his actions.So there you have it no April fools now lets get on with the rest of the series.My money is on CR22 go Aussie.
Yep!! It's official gentleman, he will be in Dallas, and at the remainder of the races!!!
Even for Stewart what a stupid thing to do , If this is a joke then so be it but if it is true I hope th State treats him like anyone else and throws the preverbial book at hm. I am far fom a Stewart fan so I would hope it s true !!!!!!! Wonder how his sponsors are feeling about this F #%$ up
haha yeah^ ^ dabber it was a stupid thing to do and hope he will get screwed over for it
If the cops wern't speeding he would have never pulled them over...citizens arrest
"He went out and purchased these lights for this reason. Why else would he have them?"
One of the newspaper articles, says he got them at a swap meet. I doubt he went to the swap meet, specifically looking for police lights to put on his dash, so he can pull other people over, in his big giant pickup truck. I have bought some pretty crazy stuff at swap meets myself.
Fact: .....The incident occurred at 4:50 pm, on a toll freeway that moves 70,000 vehicles per day. Had he done this after dark, on an isolated road, only then, could raping, robbing and killing be implied. In the context of the stewart incident, it makes no sense whatsoever, just pure sensationalism.
I have seen plenty of cops, that I would like to pull over.

Sorry, but I cant deal with the immature, splineless wimps that come on here, trying to mess with other people, just to get thier little jollies off. im out. you have suceeded. I would rather be alone than be with you, because you suck. It is a game for some people ( probably underage children ) who gain amusement, by taunting other people behind the safety of thier personal computers. One day that will catch up with you somehow, it always does.
Anything else you read on here from trick , from now on, is the work of the poser, so if you miss me, you can blame him/her. When you cannot even tell who you are talking to, and you even have little pansie asses who cant even spell 'good', changing thier fake names all around, impersonating others, and messing with people all day, what can you do ? I am 100 percent positive that these little punks will get thier asses handed to them, in due time. If they act like little assholes on the internet, then they will do it in real life too, by the time they grow up. WOW, you guys are COOOOOL ! ! ! , a cyber world of make believe tough-guys and bullies! I am now so petrified, that I'm going to do my laundry. Later assholes. you know who i'm talking to.

@ welker.. carlsbad..francisco bulto... all my om's, my 'braddahs' it was cool to chat with you all. we had some good ones for sure.... carry onward and live good. ring-a-ding-ding 4 ever... Oh, and stay away from the internet 'chatter' boards. It's just like being on a picnic, and not having a fly-swatter.
I want stewarts tundra when it goes up for police auction!! HAHA
WOW, you guys who back james up are crazy in Modesto Ca there are trucks being used by undercover all the time, siveradoes, tundra, anything they want even seen a saturn used by undercover, also if i did this i would be looking at 1-2 yrs in jail so how is it fair for him to not face the same consequenses. All the people i know around stanislause county and the bay area know how much trouble it is to impersonate a police officer and he did try and pull them over and not just turn the lights on like some say
James should be put in jail and not allowed to leave Florida...any regular person who would do that would be put in jail for a while and just because he has money he can get out of stuff! thats not right.....I hope Sanmanuel team gets rid of james after this year for his stupidity!
Also this doesn't make the AMA Supercross series/ supercross riders look good at all. This makes us look like irresponsible people and that isn't even close to what most of these people are. That was really really dumb on James's part.
If the state of Florida (hell) is going to take his truck then that should be his punishment. Either take his truck, or jail, probation, and or fine. Their gonna gut the poor kid. Yes he will be racing this weekend. duh! And it wont hurt the sport. When was the last arrest of a rider? J law? Ron Lechien 1981. Everyone get a life
you know i cant beleave all you socalled racers i race gncc woods and we staned behined all our racers and help each other out leave the guy alone do you all know what happened was you there it is all here say we all make mistakes in life no one is perfict we have bigger prob gas prices the war real prob a young make blowing off some steam did he blow up his school no did he kill some one no let it bee you people are are not happy in life so make droma for some who went after a dream and showed us a talant we never seen before he has done things we dream about let him sort this out on his own
i think he was having fun u never have a child hood when u r racing all the time trust me i know i raced for 13 years i missed out on alot of stuff that kids get to do and he dont need to be banned form the ama ppl have done alot worse and still raced most of yall r just mad cuz he made it and living yalls dream so quit being a hater and deal with it he gonna be put through enough i would not wanna see big james if i was him tho i would run lol
thats a pretty bad ass truck i like the bullets in the tiers haha
