Man Mocks Officers In Profane Video: Fairfield Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield Police have shared a video of a man berating and mocking several officers while at a gas station to show the public some of what cops have to deal with. In the 5-minute video, in which the man was issued an infraction for pumping gas with the engine running, the man mocks the officers with many references to the Police Academy movies and uses very profane language.

The video had been circulating on social media so police decided to share it for the public to see it for themselves. The video was recorded by the man pumping gas and later identified as Justin Lazaro who was arrested later in the day for violating a protective order, according to police.

“While members of the Fairfield CT Police Department work to keep our community safe, they encounter this type of behavior and attitude towards them,” Fairfield Police wrote in a post on Facebook. “This video says a lot about the Officers on scene and the person doing the recording. Our Officers remained professional in the face of this inanity and disrespect. Ensuring police professionalism matters – antagonizing and insulting police just for fun is wrong.

Lazaro was later arrested and charged with violation of a criminal standing protective order, first-degree criminal trespass, criminal attempt to commit first-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools when police said he attempted to break into the home of an ex-girlfriend who had a protective order against him.

Police said the incident for which he was arrested, occurred about 30 minutes before Lazaro came into contact officers and had not yet been reported to police.

The full video can be seen below, but viewer discretion is advised due to profane language.
