An entitled law enforcement official was caught on bodycam footage throwing a tantrum and calling another cop a ‘f***ot’ in a shocking outburst as he was pulled over. 

William Scott Jr., 62, was seen in newly released bodycam video losing his temper and trying to use his status to get out of a ticket as he was pulled over in Las Vegas on August 18. 

Scott serves as the Chief of Investigations with the Nevada Attorney General’s Office and previously served as a captain in the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. 

His role sees him ‘tasked with investigating public integrity, child exploitation, human trafficking, Medicaid fraud and elder abuse’, the AG’s office says. 

After he was pulled over for using his phone while driving, an irate Scott barked at the officer: ‘I thought you could use your speakerphone.’ 

The officer was seen in the footage, first obtained by 8NewsNow, explaining that he was giving him a ticket because he ‘can’t have (the phone) in your hand.’ 

Scott then tried to pull rank over the officer as he said: ‘I’m a retired police captain with Metro – and I am the chief of investigations right now with the AG’s office.’ 

The officer responded: ‘Okay, then you know the law, then.’ 

Shocking bodycam footage captured the moment William Scott Jr., 62, a former Las Vegas police captain and Chief of Investigations with the Nevada Attorney General’s Office, threw a tantrum and called another cop a ‘f***ot’ in a shocking outburst as he was pulled over

Scott tried to use his status in law enforcement to escape his ticket and name dropped the sheriff before using a shocking slur during the incident 

The exchange grew more hostile as Scott name-dropped Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill, although the officer who pulled him over was with the Las Vegas Metro police. 

‘So maybe I just call Kevin and just tell Kevin you’re giving me a hard time, because I’m telling you, I didn’t know dude,’ Scott said. 

The officer then walked back to his motorcycle to write a ticket, at which point Scott got out of his car to speak to him face-to-face. 

‘Sit in the car, sir,’ the officer yelled back to him as tensions began flaring. ‘Stop! Every second I spend with you tells me there’s no way you’re a retired cop.’ 

When the officer returned to Scott’s window and handed him the ticket, Scott flashed his badge at the officer to prove he was law enforcement. 

‘There you go, right there buddy,’ he said as he held up the badge. 

The officer responded: ‘OK, yeah, should have just led with that.’ 

Scott, seen flashing his badge during the traffic stop, is a well-known law enforcement official who has taught classes including ‘Preventing Police on Police Confrontations’ and ‘Ethics in Leadership’ 

Scott was handed a $119 fine as a result of the incident. 

In a shocking outburst as the confrontation came to an end, Scott said: ‘Bye, I have enough money to pay for mine, f***ot.’ 

The officer appeared stunned by the slur, and said: ‘OK, very classy. I’m so glad that you’re retired and not with the department anymore.’ 

The incident sparked outrage in Las Vegas, where Scott is a well-known law enforcement official who has taught classes including ‘Preventing Police on Police Confrontations’ and ‘Ethics in Leadership’, according to his LinkedIn. 

The Attorney General’s office where Scott works as Chief of Investigations condemned the incident in a statement to 8NewsNow. 

‘At the outset, the [Office of the Attorney General] does not condone Chief Scott’s conduct or comments,’ the statement read. 

‘Accordingly, and consistent with office policy, we are conducting an internal inquiry into the matter to determine an appropriate course of action that comports with our commitment to respect and anti-discrimination. 

‘Chief Scott has expressed sincere remorse and apologizes for his actions. We will not comment further at this time.’ 

The AG’s office said Scott makes $151,000 in salary and did not say if he had been suspended. 

Scott (right, seen in an appearance on the Raising Humans Together podcast) was condemned by law enforcement officials for his tirade 

LVPPA president Steve Grammas added in a separate statement: ‘The Las Vegas Police Protective Association (LVPPA) is appalled and frankly, disgusted, with the choice of words used by a retired LVMPD captain.

‘While expressing displeasure with a car stop is the right of all people, using verbiage like we saw in the Body Worn Camera, by a former leader at LVMPD and current investigator at the attorney general’s office, toward an officer doing their job, is something that is extremely hard to comprehend. 

‘If he did not like the way he was treated, he could make a complaint to Internal Affairs. 

‘But holding his own personal judgement of our officer, and using language the way he did, should at minimum warrant a personal apology to our officer and potentially even an internal investigation by Attorney General Ford.’
