YouTuber Christopher “Denver Metro Audits” Cordova livestreamed himself during a traffic stop on Thursday where he received a ticket for driving 87MPH in a 65MPH zone while he was travelling on Interstate 25 south of Castlerock, Colorado.
Cordova was standoffish with the state patrol officer who pulled him over, refusing to crack his window and refusing to hand the officer both his license and registration. Instead, Cordova flashed his driver’s license, initially displaying an expired license to the officer before finding his current license.
With cell service spotty, Cordova’s livestream buffered during key moments of the pullover. At one point he asked his audience to contact his mother if he got arrested based on the traffic stop. He said that sometimes he has warrants that he doesn’t know about and that he’s typically informed of them when he is pulled over.
Cordova updated his main channel’s “shadow ban,” stating that he believed that YouTube may have removed the ban after the last conference they had with his attorney, that Randall S. “The Unhinged Attorney” Newman, Esq.
While waiting for the state trooper to return to update his status, Cordova pondered how many speeding laws police break when they have to catch a speeder when the police officer is parked.
He then spent a moment reflecting on how “people are supposed to feel safe around police,” and that they don’t because of what he called “predatory policing.”
Before he could expound further, the state patrol officer returned to give Cordova his ticket. The YouTuber received six points on his license for going 87MPH in a 65MPH zone, with a $627.50 fine. It would have been three points and a $313.75 fine; however, Cordova was in a construction zone which resulted in the penalties being doubled.
Cordova can pay the fine in 20 days to have two of the points removed or can contest the ticket at an October court hearing.
The YouTuber asked the state patrol officer for his card and the officer refused to do so, stating that his information was at the bottom of the ticket. When pressed, the trooper explained that policy is only to give out cards when no paperwork is presented. Since the trooper gave Cordova the information on his ticket, there was no need for a card.
Cordova again pressed, asking for a card out of “professional curtsey.” Then claimed that the officer’s handwriting was “sloppy,” which resulted in the officer walking away from him.
Addressing the camera, Cordova said that the traffic stop was over, so it was okay to get out of his truck. He exited the vehicle and asked the Douglas County officer who was assisting at the scene if he could do a U-Turn over the double yellow lines without getting in trouble. The officer said it was fine.
Cordova then again approached the state trooper, insisting he needed the officer’s card out of professional courtesy. The officer poked back at Cordova stating that Cordova showed him no such courtesy when he asked to see Cordova’s driver’s license.
At this point, Cordova’s phone buffered and returned with him getting back into his truck, verifying that he had the officer give him his badge number, and eventually driving off.
Cordova’s court date is October 16, 2025, at 8:30AM in Douglas County.
