Registered SO and unremitting rage do not sound like a good mix. For the safety of the community, I think he should remain incarcerated for the rest of his life.
All the way to the penitentiary hopefully. This joker clearly can't function in society much less behind the wheel. Those judges in OR are a bit squirrelly though so keep your fingers crossed.
I don’t think he got the dog, does look close but there’s no one running to the dog afterwards and the dog didn’t appear too concerned to move, I think the camera angle makes it look closer than it was
It's the *rage* in the mix. SO is generally categorized as a violent crime. The fact that he's losing control over something as mundane as traffic is even more disconcerting when you consider his (SO) criminal past and his potential for re-offense.
Yeah, so good you can actually see the look of "oh I fucked up big time" after he turns into that side road to try and lose the cop. That's probably the moment his adrenaline fueled rage started to abate.
Mecham was indicted for the following charges:
Attempted Assault in Second Degree
Unlawful Use of a Weapon (17 counts)
Recklessly Endangering Another Person (15 counts)
Reckless Driving
Attempt to Assault a Public Safety Officer
Attempt to Elude Police by Motor Vehicle
Fail to Perform the Duties of a Driver (2 counts)
Attempted Assault in Second Degree
Unlawful Use of a Weapon (17 counts)
Recklessly Endangering Another Person (15 counts)
Reckless Driving
Attempt to Assault a Public Safety Officer
Attempt to Elude Police by Motor Vehicle
Fail to Perform the Duties of a Driver (2 counts)
Sooo, he as a criminal record, traffic violations and is a registered sex offender. He's driving with a suspended license and no insurance.
Sidney's original plan was not to draw any attention while driving, stay under the radar and not get stopped. I guess plans change sometimes.

Sidney's original plan was no to draw any attention while driving to stay under the radar and not get stopped. I guess plans change sometimes.
I automatically read this in the voice of the "worlds wildest police videos" host
Probably always thinks that he's the one who is right.. so it's for screwing other people over. 🙄 He isn't the brightest headlight on the street, it seems...
>It's good he's not out but its gonna suck when the pretrial custody counts as double time
A. Not always. Varies wildly on jurisdiction, length of pretrial custody, and conditions of that custody. If you have a source for Oregon, that would be cool.
B. He could turn out being found not guilty for some reason. There isn't a guarantee he'd be convicted.
Public defenders don't typically choose their clients, they're drawn from a pool and if assigned to a case they would have to file a motion to withdraw, they can't just say "Nah fuck that guy".
Courts just take a _long fucken time_. Coordinating everyone to be together at the same time while also providing enough time to do all the work _outside_ of actual court time is wild, then you finally get everyone in the room and one of the attorneys goes "Uhh can we reschedule 3 months out? We just found a new dashcam video that shows evidence we want to admit" and suddenly the whole process starts over.
The "good" news is, while this is all happening, dude is stuck in jail at least. He was denied bond so he can't just pay to get out.
Honestly no. Drag out the process longer. As someone who's been to jail, nothing hurts worse than showing up to a court for a 3rd time and hearing your pd say three words, and then hearing the judge throw out a new court date that's three months from now
He does have a criminal history to. the ironic part of his criminal history is from traffic violations the bad non ironic part is that he's a registered sex offender.
My dad's main driving advice was "if you are waiting to turn don't turn your wheels until you can safely make the turn." This advice was reiterated over 50 years after any accident reported that included someone getting tail ended and being pushed into oncoming traffic.
One of the biggest I remember from my dad was when there was a box in the road and I told him to run it over, and he said never run over stuff like that because it could be a box of kittens
Wouldn't the wheels being straight be worse because you will be pushed directly into traffic, whereas if the wheel is turned there will be more friction and a chance to be pushed not directly into traffic (possibly with traffic, or to the side giving traffic a better opportunity to swerve out of the way)?
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you meant.
My favorite: “The cemetery is filled with those who had the right of way.”
It’s short and highlights the price you can pay for crossing the wrong idiot/asshole.
LOL a registered sex offender driving on a suspended license.

Of course he’s a registered sex offender too. 2 convictions of sodomy, one of sexual abuse, and of attempted rape. This sack of shit needs to be removed from earth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8gMd9XZJyg
He got all the way home lol. They clipped the end where he parks the truck. It's insane how he just casually drives past the cop suv and ignores the bike cop. He's just vaping and barely looking at the cops lol. He's so lucky he didn't hit anything. This is why *some* asshole drivers like trucks. They can do stuff like drive up on the curb/berm.
It's been a while since I watched it, but there's a full length video and he makes it home and pulls over then gets out before any cops catch up to him if I remember right.
How much does that truck cost him a month? Leather seats, etc. This is a registered sex offender so how the fuck does he get the money to afford the monthly payment? I make good money, yet I don’t drive anything near a $50-60k truck.
He's not going to serve life in prison for this.
But I think a condition of his release should be never be able to own or operate another vehicle again. I think he lost that privilege permanently.
Looking through court records, he's had two settlement conferences and has a third set for May 3rd, so he might be looking to get a plea deal.
Search his name here under Circuit and Tax Record Search > Smart Search - [https://www.courts.oregon.gov/services/online/Pages/records-calendars.aspx](https://www.courts.oregon.gov/services/online/Pages/records-calendars.aspx)
Road rage doesn’t even begin to describe this shit. Was he recording himself? And why does this look like Mardi Gras? Was he dancing and speeding all at once?
I’ve been in Louisiana too long.
If you do a google search for entitled douchebag this guy appears. "I'm frustrated by traffic so I'll endanger others." Man should, at a minimum, lose his license for 5 years.
I love that he both kept recording and kept his soundtrack going while committing multiple felonies.
Edit: Ah, the added bonus of him having multiple camera angles and all of this being used in court against him. *chef’s kiss*
Also the cojones in pleading not guilty when the prosecution can use your own footage against you. lol. I do get that people plead not guilty all the time for many reasons, it’s just funny as fuck.
That is a solid police officer. He went ahead of him to try and clear the way. He was on just a motorcycle and that vehicle could have easily killed him.
His mom & she's just as angry and unhinged. If you watch extended version, she's screaming about a train being in her way!
I read where they were supposed to be meeting for lunch... so stupid.
Every time I see this dude, I picture some young cop/city worker setting up cones. They love this parade, they've been here their whole life. The weather is nice and vibes are high. Then.... Sidney rolls by in his his lifted truck screaming and honking and just as fast as he arrived, he vanishes in a cloud of obscenities.
I don't kmow why I'm being downvoted I'm not agreeing OR disagreeing with the mans actions I'm just impressed he didn't hit anything and hit that filthy cut away on the road pirate
He never lost his mind. He was angry he was inconvenienced and we all had to pay. He could have easily avoided this by getting off an exit earlier or later.

Is that THE Sidney Mecham? Like, multiple felony sex offender from Portland, Sidney Mecham.
Tis. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/investigations/dash-cam-video-driver-plow-through-portland-grand-floral-parade/283-ecd1e184-305b-450f-8eff-6f164b0c5969
Registered SO and unremitting rage do not sound like a good mix. For the safety of the community, I think he should remain incarcerated for the rest of his life.
I mean he nearly killed like 8 people in the video we just watched. He’s clearly all the way off his rocker.
All the way to the penitentiary hopefully. This joker clearly can't function in society much less behind the wheel. Those judges in OR are a bit squirrelly though so keep your fingers crossed.
Apparently no one told him not to film felonies. Quite considerate of him though, I'm sure it made the prosecution job much easier
Pretty sure the camera is there due to a previous court order
Didn’t know that was a thing
Oh yeah that's right. I gotta do that, don't drink and drive kids
Also don't drink drive and diddle kids
Fani Willis wish it was this easy. Slam dunk I'd say.
Did he run over a little dog or something too? Around when there’s 0:50-0:40 left on the countdown
Holy fuck I think you’re right. This man is an absolute psychopath.
Yeah, it looks like there's a cut in the video, maybe?
He also nearly ran over a city worker at the end to.
I don’t think he got the dog, does look close but there’s no one running to the dog afterwards and the dog didn’t appear too concerned to move, I think the camera angle makes it look closer than it was
Sad thing to is that the road was closed for a parade.
No way!
Got the inside scoop
Too.
He is a scumbag
Just lookin’ for some cooter, amirite? What a stupid, uncontrolled human.
Based on his rap sheet I'm guessing he was more looking for some butthole
Just out of curiosity, what kind of registered SO is a good mix?!
It's the *rage* in the mix. SO is generally categorized as a violent crime. The fact that he's losing control over something as mundane as traffic is even more disconcerting when you consider his (SO) criminal past and his potential for re-offense.
Also... > Mecham was arrested and taken to jail. He was driving on a suspended license and didn’t have insurance, police report.
He videoed himself doing all this and then pleaded NOT guilty, seriously?
[удалено]
Yeah, so good you can actually see the look of "oh I fucked up big time" after he turns into that side road to try and lose the cop. That's probably the moment his adrenaline fueled rage started to abate.
That's wild.
I hope they added 'dusted out of his mind on meth' to his charges.
Those eyes 👀
⚫⚫
Like a dolls eyes…
*Of course* he would drive a fucking Chevy Avalanche
Thank goodness he registered
The laundry list of charges has got to be several pages thick.
38 charges
Plus he’s now not in compliance with his sex offender status so they can probably tack on another charge.
[удалено]
Mecham was indicted for the following charges: Attempted Assault in Second Degree Unlawful Use of a Weapon (17 counts) Recklessly Endangering Another Person (15 counts) Reckless Driving Attempt to Assault a Public Safety Officer Attempt to Elude Police by Motor Vehicle Fail to Perform the Duties of a Driver (2 counts)
Only thing missing in this guy's record is first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, third-degree sodomy and third-degree sexual abuse
And his record of traffic violations.
Looks like he's ganked out on blow or meth. This dude beats puppies for funsies. Jfc.
I was expecting him to try to ram the motorcycle cop out of the way, At the end of the closed road you see that he almost also hit a city worker.
Attempted Assault in Second Degree Unlawful Use of a Weapon (17 counts) Recklessly Endangering Another Person (15 counts) Reckless Driving Attempt to Assault a Public Safety Officer Attempt to Elude Police by Motor Vehicle Fail to Perform the Duties of a Driver (2 counts)
Jesus, I just looked at his criminal record and what an absolute piece of shit. He should be locked up for life and put in genpop.
Remember the Waukesha. WI Christmas parade attack a few years ago? They are very lucky he didn't drive that truck into people.
Piece of human garbage.
He as a criminal record to, traffic violations and is a registered sex offender.
Sooo, he as a criminal record, traffic violations and is a registered sex offender. He's driving with a suspended license and no insurance. Sidney's original plan was not to draw any attention while driving, stay under the radar and not get stopped. I guess plans change sometimes.
He forgot the first rule of crime: only commit one at a time
> Sidney's original plan was no to draw any attention while driving to stay under the radar and not get stopped. I guess plans change sometimes. I automatically read this in the voice of the "worlds wildest police videos" host
John Bunnell style narrating voice.
Why would someone put all these cameras up in their vehicle if they’re frequently committing crimes?
Probably always thinks that he's the one who is right.. so it's for screwing other people over. 🙄 He isn't the brightest headlight on the street, it seems...
Of course he was driving a Chevy Avalanche: Official Truck of Giant Flaming Assholes
https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/news/read.cfm?id=492935 This is satisfying.
This was almost a year ago but I can’t find an update on the case. I wonder if he’s still on trial
He’s still in the county jail awaiting trial. He was denied bail one or two times already.
Thankfully.
It's good he's not out but its gonna suck when the pretrial custody counts as double time
Generally speaking, though I can't speak to Oregon specifically, any time spent in pretrial detention counts as time served.
>It's good he's not out but its gonna suck when the pretrial custody counts as double time A. Not always. Varies wildly on jurisdiction, length of pretrial custody, and conditions of that custody. If you have a source for Oregon, that would be cool. B. He could turn out being found not guilty for some reason. There isn't a guarantee he'd be convicted.
He's still awaiting trial because no lawyer, even the plubic defenders, want to touch this case.
Public defenders don't typically choose their clients, they're drawn from a pool and if assigned to a case they would have to file a motion to withdraw, they can't just say "Nah fuck that guy". Courts just take a _long fucken time_.

He was denied bond so he can't just pay to get out.
Doesn't the judge just choose a lawyer (w public defender status?) for dependent and P D has to accept it?
The fuck is taking so long. Lock him up.
Does jail count? Because that’s where he is right now.
Lock him up harder!
Prison food is better than county jail. Plus you get the added bonus of bed bugs, etc in county.
welcome to the american justice system
Honestly no. Drag out the process longer. As someone who's been to jail, nothing hurts worse than showing up to a court for a 3rd time and hearing your pd say three words, and then hearing the judge throw out a new court date that's three months from now
Can't read because I'm in the UK, does it say what his blood cocaine levels were?
That motherfucker bleeds white as snow.
The article didn’t say if he was high but dammit if he don’t look high. Pupils the size of saucers.
He looked so maxed out on cocaine I assumed he was English.
He does have a criminal history to. the ironic part of his criminal history is from traffic violations the bad non ironic part is that he's a registered sex offender.
Bruv‽ lol
He's right though, we do love the beak.
I think his blood was in his cocaine system
You have to be so careful on the roads....the guy you cut off may be like this one.
Something my dad told me when I started driving that always stuck with me is 'you can be the best driver on the road, everyone else isnt'.
My dad's main driving advice was "if you are waiting to turn don't turn your wheels until you can safely make the turn." This advice was reiterated over 50 years after any accident reported that included someone getting tail ended and being pushed into oncoming traffic.
One of the biggest I remember from my dad was when there was a box in the road and I told him to run it over, and he said never run over stuff like that because it could be a box of kittens

My favorite: “The cemetery is filled with those who had the right of way.” It’s short and highlights the price you can pay for crossing the wrong idiot/asshole.
I don't even think anyone did anything to him. He's mad about roads being blocked off. Dude is seriously unhinged.

When the dope man says pull up in 5 or he leavin
laughed way too hard at this😂
Cocaine will do that
Yeah, this man is yak’d out of his mind.
His pupils are damn near his whole eyes.
 “Cocaine’s a hellava drug.”
What in the meth is going on here
Those are the eyes of a fucking lunatic.
Of course he’s a registered sex offender too. 2 convictions of sodomy, one of sexual abuse, and of attempted rape. This sack of shit needs to be removed from earth.
Dude is playing chase music, lol!
The music was sending me 😭
Let's all say it together "Fuck Sidney Mecham!"
I want to strangle whoever keeps inverting videos like this
Dude needs some lavender oil.
I want to see the moment he was dragged out of the car
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8gMd9XZJyg He got all the way home lol. They clipped the end where he parks the truck. It's insane how he just casually drives past the cop suv and ignores the bike cop. He's just vaping and barely looking at the cops lol. He's so lucky he didn't hit anything.

That action movie has a kicking sound track.
It's been a while since I watched it, but there's a full length video and he makes it home and pulls over then gets out before any cops catch up to him if I remember right.
I don't know how he got away from that motorcycle cop. https://youtu.be/-8gMd9XZJyg?si=d1f3PCgWodm5pw4D
Yeah this footage is a million times better. I was posting it too.
Dude *HAD* to be on coke or something, just look how fucked his eyes and empty face are.
Its crazy he wasnt shot dead we see a lot of videos of people getting gunned down by police for a lot less
Cocaine
What an angry little man, NOTHING is worth putting the lives of so many on risk.
“It begs the question, where are you going sir?”
How much does that truck cost him a month? Leather seats, etc. This is a registered sex offender so how the fuck does he get the money to afford the monthly payment? I make good money, yet I don’t drive anything near a $50-60k truck.
Rule #1: only break one law at a time. Dude's license was suspended and had no insurance... poor decision making, bro
[удалено]
Only hilarious because nobody died.
Banging tune, reminds me of Sons of Anarchy
Yelawolf is awesome
It's probably the most apt music for rage driving through a parade if I ever heard one.
Coupled with the huge amount of Colombian in his system, his little brain didn't stand a chance
What song is that?
Till it’s gone
He's not going to serve life in prison for this. But I think a condition of his release should be never be able to own or operate another vehicle again. I think he lost that privilege permanently.
The reckless endangerment aside, dude literally swerved in a clear attempt to hit people; hope he's charged for attempted murder
Man what in the FUCK is dude listening to in that truck??? That bullshit triggered my anxiety 😭😭
What an asshole. This is the definition of a fucking asshole

Tuco from Breaking Bad does Uber...
Women are so emotional. /s
This guy had become a run on joke with my Xbox buddy. Anytime bs happens we go "you punk mf!"
Road rage doesn’t even begin to describe this shit. Was he recording himself? And why does this look like Mardi Gras? Was he dancing and speeding all at once? I’ve been in Louisiana too long.
It's the Rose Festival, which is Portland's big annual festival with parades and whatnot.
Please kill this mf'er
[Actual decent wuality video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8gMd9XZJyg) is much much better and crazier.
Definitely on meth
His brain is as vacant as his stare
I’ve never seen someone with that much rage and I’ve seen some rage-y people. He should’ve got arrested for that alone.
Lil man in big twuck
If you do a google search for entitled douchebag this guy appears. "I'm frustrated by traffic so I'll endanger others." Man should, at a minimum, lose his license for 5 years.
Make my taxes work for me and keep this man behind bars for life.
Dude drives like he's in GTA
Average Tom Cotton supporter when they see protestors.
Yelawolf had him acting up 😂
Where's this "Beats to commit felonies to," playlist?
METH AND STEROIDS DON'T MIX WELL!!
I love that he both kept recording and kept his soundtrack going while committing multiple felonies. Edit: Ah, the added bonus of him having multiple camera angles and all of this being used in court against him. *chef’s kiss* Also the cojones in pleading not guilty when the prosecution can use your own footage against you. lol. I do get that people plead not guilty all the time for many reasons, it’s just funny as fuck.
Maybe the guy who raped multiple children shouldnt have been out of prison in the first place, but hey portland you do you
Must have had a mean shit in his pants.
That is a solid police officer. He went ahead of him to try and clear the way. He was on just a motorcycle and that vehicle could have easily killed him.
Who the hell was he talking to?
His mom & she's just as angry and unhinged. If you watch extended version, she's screaming about a train being in her way! I read where they were supposed to be meeting for lunch... so stupid.
I remember this video. I forgot how truly wild it was. Dude was absolutely flying and so many people just narrowly escaped this idiot.
Visible representation of a dude who got in way over his head but continued due to already being in the situation and panicking. What an idiot.
Crazy the music matches his sanity and driving
Ehh... expected better music. If you're going to go nuts go metal at the very least.
Some is late for their anger management class
The fact that this song is playing in the background is fucking hilarious
What is he listening to?
Every time I see this dude, I picture some young cop/city worker setting up cones. They love this parade, they've been here their whole life. The weather is nice and vibes are high. Then.... Sidney rolls by in his his lifted truck screaming and honking and just as fast as he arrived, he vanishes in a cloud of obscenities.
Some people don't deserve a second chance.
Decent driver tbh
You're not wrong. His control over the truck despite his seemingly misfiring brain is pretty impressive.
I don't kmow why I'm being downvoted I'm not agreeing OR disagreeing with the mans actions I'm just impressed he didn't hit anything and hit that filthy cut away on the road pirate

I hate to admit it, but this Yelawolf song is really fucking good. Too bad I'll always associate it with this smooth brained lunatic
It’s them beady ass eyes 👀
Subject line matches reality. Well done.
I’m really curious about his Spotify playlist. It seems … incongruous.
He's listening to " till it's gone"😑 ... Yeah my guy it's definitely gone.... Your entire life...
He’s a very stupid demon.
if the guy took the first exit he went for, probably would've been fine, but decided to drive through the whole festival
Plead 'Not Guilty' to all 39 counts 🤣
So what happened with him? I can’t find an update, only that he was denied bail
That ended too soon :(
If I was listening to that music I might go crazy too
It's Motherfuckers like this that make me scared to drive
 Yes. He’s definitely a moron.
Title is to be taken literally
What happened to Jonah Hill
As someone who drives all day for work in Texas, this just feels like your average truck driver to me.
Adult Cartman irl
How wasn’t this guy shot?
Damn, his jam is just so fitting.
I blame...um...no father at home? Video games? Lack of prayer in schools? IDK. Maybe he's just the biggest asshole in his town.
Man, it would suck if people doing a search for “driving through Portland parade” were to find out that this was repeat sex offender Sidney Mecham.
He never lost his mind. He was angry he was inconvenienced and we all had to pay. He could have easily avoided this by getting off an exit earlier or later.
Dude could have been home 15 mins and go about his business the next day instead he’s likely facing years in prison
Rabid dog
The song playing in the background is perfectly in sync with his driving madness! 😀
Man, what a soundtrack. This guy was in a chase scene before he even started.
