Getting pulled over is never a great experience. However, Chris Dixon (flexboss83) found himself particularly upset when he was pulled over because he was confident he hadn’t done anything wrong. Chris was headed to the UGA football game when a police officer suddenly cut across the median to ticket him for speeding. However, as he showed his viewers, the reason he was confident was that his Cadillac had proof of his innocence.
Chris’s posts about the situation blew up, racking up more than 9.2 million views on Instagram alone. He explained that he was on his weekly drive to Athens, Georgia, when he was pulled over. In his YouTube caption, he alleged, “My cruise was set & the next thing I know I’m being ticketed for going 77 like I’m a whole criminal! Cop LIES BOLD FACE IN 4K!!”
In the Instagram video, we saw Chris’s interaction with the officer. He pointed to the Cadillac’s dash monitor and said, “Sir, I got a recording of this car. You can watch it.” After the cop told them that he had recorded their speed at 77mph, Chris’ passenger pointed to the Cadillac’s monitor again, “It shows you our speed. It shows you on here.” Then she told him, “When you passed us, we were going 70.”
Chris told the police that he bought his car for this exact situation
Chris’s posts on Instagram and YouTube both highlight different portions of the conversation. It’s difficult to tell which came first. On Instagram, we saw the cop tell Chris in response to the recording, “What I’m saying is, I mean, you can contest it in court.” On YouTube, we saw the officer try to calm Chris down, telling him, “It’s nothing personal, man.” Then he told Chris and his passenger, with regard to the car’s recording system, “I can’t go by that. That is not a state-registered device.”
In both videos, Chris also laid out why traffic stops stress him out so much. “My cruise is set, man. That’s why I bought this car because I went through something terrible,” he told the cop on Instagram. “I went through something in 2024 that I still have PTSD over.” On YouTube, he just closed the conversation, telling the officer, “I’m not… we’re not going to argue. I’ll will sign whatever I got to sign, man.”
Both posts show a clip from the dashcam footage, as well as the speed data it recorded. We see the car holding a speed of 70mph as a police car approaches from the other side of the highway. We see the police vehicle’s lights come on, and the police car careens over onto the median, and to the side of the highway Chris is on.
Chris alleged that this was the same vehicle that pulled him over. On Instagram, we hear Chris’s narration at this point in the video. He says, “There he is. Calm down, big dog. It’s not that serious.”
Many of Chris’s viewers felt like the officer’s actions were an overreaction. However, it should be noted that all we have to go on is Chris perspective, since it is his post and his edits.
One user commented, “There is no f—ing way he just completely drove over the grass… u better go to court n show them that s—.” Another person added, “Bro risked a head on collision for an alleged 7mph.” A third wrote, “So he clocked you going 77 WHILE he was driving? On the other side of the road going the opposite way? That doesn’t even make sense.”
General Motors actually offers several recording systems with Cadillac cars. Per GM Authority, the Performance Data Recorder, or PDR, is an industry-first system that integrates video, audio, and motorsport-inspired telemetry. It uses a 720p camera and a dedicated GPS receiver to record driving experiences, including speed, which can be reviewed later.
Another is the Surround Vision Recorder, which also uses vehicle cameras to continuously capture the surroundings. According to GM Authority, this system can record for up to two hours, saving footage in MP4 format.
According to Nerd Wallet, the information from recording devices like dashcam video and GPS data is key evidence in fighting a ticket. They note that while you should be polite and say as little as possible during the stop, having physical proof that you weren’t speeding is your best bet for a successful outcome in court.
On Chris’s post, many viewers felt like a dashcam is now a need. One user wrote, “This is just proof everybody should have recorders because cops will lie as always just to get their tickets.” Another user, however, saw this as a strong selling point for the car itself. They wrote, “I was putting it off but Now I gotta buy a blackwing.”
