🚨 UPDATE: Bret Baier responds to the viral video of him being pulled over by DC Police amid their crackdown

Bret was given a $50 ticket for picking up his phone, and says from now on, “maybe I’ll just take the Metro.” 🤣

[Bret Baier]: Hey, I know there’s a lot going on with the NDAA today, but I wanted to take a minute to explain something that happened over the weekend. I did get stopped by a D.C. police officer. I was driving my wife’s G-Wagon and I was coming back into Georgetown.

The phone rang, I picked it up, police officer was there and he pointed to pull me over. I pulled over, he said you can’t be on your phone. Then it took me a while to find the registration, wasn’t my car, the phone wasn’t paired to my wife’s car, so I couldn’t do the Bluetooth thing. He was very professional, the police officer was very cordial, I was saying yes sir, I apologized, found the registration, and then he gave me a ticket. I said thank you, and went on my way.

But it got a lot of coverage, a lot of coverage about this video because I didn’t know there was paparazzi across the street. And listen, don’t pick up your phone, don’t drive with your phone, don’t text on your phone. Lesson learned. And maybe I’ll just take the Metro.
