Spotsylvania is on Reelz TV - Episode 58

First and foremost, I want to thank you all for the outstanding work you do every single day. Feel free to seek me out for any assistance that I may be able to offer. If you need a cold drink on a hot day, just knock and I or someone from my family will come to your aid. You have a thankless job, that many people do not understand. Thank you

Spotsylvania County, Virginia (where I reside) is being featured on On Patrol: Live, from December 2 through Feb 4, 2023 (we have been extended for a while longer). On Patrol: Live is on Reelz and if you don’t have cable, then it is available on Philo. Philo is a digital streaming service, for just $25 a month.

New episodes coming on Fridays and Saturdays.

This episode was S01E58 broadcast on February 19, 2023. Camera crews tagged along with Sergeant T.J. Grasso and Deputy Tristen Burnette.

** I will only mention the names of individuals who were arrested. Those arrest records are available online in several places and in the local news media as well.

This episode lasted 3 hours with Spotsylvania being featured one time, at the very end of the episode.

I’m going to change how I make posts about On Patrol:Live. I plan on shifting my focus more toward Spotsylvania being on the show and less on the show in general. The show is awesome, but it’s taking way too much time reviewing the entire three-hour episode, I from time to time will hight some interesting events.

Spotsylvania

Spotsy first appearance and only appearance is an hour into this episode, where Deputy Burnette is following an older white passenger van, also known as a clown car in these parts, due to the sheer number of Hispanics that are inside. Shockingly, only two passengers in the front and three in the back. The van that I follow out of my neighborhood, which just happens to be two houses down from mine, fills up with a good, 10 or more in the back of a cargo van with no seats.

The van pulls over into the WaWa parking lot (Mine Road & Falcon Drive). I feel really bad for Deputy Burnette, having to deal with this. In the entire van, no one spoke English and he had a very difficult time dealing with them and the language barrier. I know that some will state that he can use his cell phone and a translation app, but many jurisdictions do not authorize that for use.

Deputy Burnette trips repeatedly to get the guy to follow the instructions for the field sobriety tests and the breathalyzer, but the guy is too drunk and then there is the language barrier.

After 15 minutes, Luis Edgardo Resendiz-De-Santiago is arrested for DWI and driving without a license.

This incident really highlights the problem in this area of Virginia. We see a ton of Hispanic drivers, who do not understand the rules (and laws) of the road. This is likely due to them not having a license in the U.S. We also see things like a 5-passenger vehicle with 6-8 people in it.

One of the most bizarre accidents, was when an F-150 hit a cargo container being hauled. It ripped the entire side of the truck, it peeled it like an onion.

It seems that most people do not understand the laws about videotaping or taking photos. Basically, the law is that if it is in public and anyone can see it, then the photographer/videographer does not require permission to film. Here is an article about Photographer’s Rights.
