Yeah the guy is a commedian... but he uses the real cops, and it is a small town, so everyone plays along... funny stuff
His name is Marc Ryan, but "Steve" is a real guy (Marc plays Steve in these videos)
This is a little blurb about how Marc met steve and how the videos came about:
I grew up laughing at the oddities and wonder of Steve. We'd be ready to hit the bars for drinks and he'd yell out, "I'm goin' to jail tonight and I'm takin' y'all with me!"Steve and I met down at the Amite River in South Louisiana. We'd spend the weekends sunburnt, drunk and trying to invent something new to pull behind the boat. We partied down there so much all our clothes were dyed river water brown. We spent most of our Saturdays and Sundays right here at The Dock down from my Maw Maw's camp.
One weekend after the river, I heard the now famous "I know my rights" for the first time. We stopped off at our neighborhood strip club Southern Cumfort to see some river rat hookers we ran with at the time. Steve was wasted and passed out on the dumper in the girls bathroom. When the cops drug him through the club kicking and screaming, "I know my rights" all our friends died laughing and haven't stopped since. There are many other little phrases you hear Steve say too.... Dang it!, Do it!, What the hell? And of course it's always someone else's fault. "I didn't do it!!
