Felony charges dropped after a constable kicks a car and injures himself. A third party recording the encounter shares the video and the DA dismissed the charges.

And yet no mention of charges of filing a false police report or perjury

Coyote with 40 people crammed into a minivan gets into a chase with DPS, Paco over estimates his driving abilities and *whmmo!* the Astrovan of Immigration becomes a Pinata of Pain, hurling broken bodies like so many tasty pieces of cheap candy...

Cop should serve the maximum sentence that the driver would have received if convicted.

Fire him, then jail him.

Made up charge to cover his dumb ass decision. I’ve worked traffic control in those situations and there are plenty of dumb drivers that don’t listen.

Absolutely ZERO excuses for that liar. He flat out lied in his report and should be charged.

Wake up, wake up and smell the ashes.

Wants to ring up dude on a felony.. Nice. Wonder what penalty would have been? Jail time or big fines, plus maybe loss of gun rights?
At least the office is investigating the wannabe framer who is clearly captured on video and trying to ruin someone's life |

This reminds me of the other day I had to explain to my wife why kids at a HS basketball game kept flying backwards and landing on their back. I had to explain the theatrics of trying to draw a foul. This guy was basically doing that.

According to the paperwork shown in the video he was charged with failure to stop and render aid a third degree felony. No mention is made of vehicular assault or assault on an LEO. Unless there is something unexpected in that law it is a valid charge even with the cop's poor decision and should not have been dropped. Plus the ticket for ignoring the traffic control directions of course.

When you have a god complex and attempt to damage the belongings of a peasant, but then some nub with a potato for a cam catches you and releases the video exposing you and blasts your evil ass back to reality.

how many people are in jail because cops lie all the time?

Hilarious, they are still investigsting the driver but not the idiot who kicked the car

I should have to stick around to allow them to continue the assault. Should I get out of my car when someone begins kicking it. I would also state that I saw no evidence of him breaking traffic control directions and since the cop has already impugned himself once especially while he is it while committing a crime that I find his testimony on it less than credible. That is pretty much how that would be summed up by most defense attorneys I would imagine. I think I would drop it if I were the DA as well. |

View Quote much like soccer players, even professionals, do the same. roll around on the ground when they’re not truly injured, in hopes the ref gives a PK or card. can’t tell you how many times i’ve seen that in MLS games, it got to where i gave up watching. hockey isn’t like that. |

Video says the driver still faces a misdemeanor charge for the original traffic infraction.
Legal experts: Wouldn't this be a case where the charges should be dismissed because of the double jeopardy concept. The driver was already punsihed for the alleged traffic infraction by the kick to the car. The damage to the car was probably more than the fine would have been. |

If a cop is directing traffic and you ignore him, and he strikes your car...
Yeah, he struck your car because you ignored his traffic directions... You are they bad guy not the cop. YMMV |

Originally Posted By gillplate: Cop should serve the maximum sentence that the driver would have received if convicted. These comments are just asinine. First, if the police officer is engaged in illegal conduct (kicking a car), then there is no duty to either stop, render aid, or in any way do anything other than leave the area to prevent further illegal acts from being perpetrated. Second, the officer then compounds the illegal acts by what appear from the reporting to be filing false charges. Finally, the video seems to indicate that the only person who engaged in illegal activity appears to be the police officer. The cop should be put in jail for perjury and filing a false police report if the reporting is accurate. Further, if that is the case, the officer should be forced to pay for the repair of the motorist's vehicle personally since his actions were outside the purview of his job (and unlawful). |
