Bret Baier Proves No One Is Above the Law in Trump’s Washington DC – Twitchy

Despite how the media reports them, there is no such thing as a routine traffic stop for law enforcement. There is, however, a textbook example of how one should behave during a traffic stop if you are the driver, and it was a master class put on by none other than Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier himself. You can see a bit of it below.

LOL! No criminal is safe in DC! Bret Baier just got popped. 🤣pic.twitter.com/HBBdLPVT4J

While we can’t hear any of the exchange, it is pretty apparent that Mr. Bair remained calm, produced the usually requested documents, accepted the citation, and went on about his day. 

This is awesome. 🤣👏🏼♥️. Bret Baier is showing Washington DC the proper way of being pulled over. 👍🏼

And gee he showed his ID and didn’t cause a scene and off he went.

No yelling, no “do you know who I am?”, just compliance and “have a good day sir.”

Like we said, a textbook example. 

I can’t help but notice that he complied with the officer. Certain people need to watch this and take notes

Hopefully they’ve watched it more than a few times…

He should have told him he was an AG

Well, it didn’t work well for her, and it wouldn’t even have been true for him. All this writer can say is that the words ‘Do you know who I am?’ never seem to be uttered. Thank goodness!

Mr. Baier himself seemed unfazed by the social media attention and even took a moment to explain on X:

I picked up my ringing phone as I drove past an officer while driving my wife’s car in Georgetown. He pointed to have me pull over- I did. He was very professional. I had to dig for the registration card. Got a ticket and left. I didn’t know there was paparazzi. 🙄 https://t.co/JNllA3TKgj

This writer only has one question for Mr. Baier. No hands-free device in 2025?

For shame, sir!
