had a very similar thing happen to me. went around a road crew traffic guy. guy claimed i hit him. called the cops. was charged with reckless driving. was in front of my house, i simply went around the guy to get to my driveway about 100 feet past the blocked road. charge was reduced to some minor traffic thing. paid a small fine. then the road guy hired a lawyer to sue me for 'soft tissue damage'. my insurance company said they were gonna pay as fighting it never worked. i had vid from my front door. sent it to my insurance company. it showed the guy chasing after my car as i went wide around him. no contact whatsoever. claim was denied. road guy didnt get his payout.
i now always drive with a dashcam. note that i did not 'leave' the scene. the scene in front of my house. |

There is *NOTHING* "common sense" about a LEO engaging in illegal conduct and damaging private property. You really need to look in the mirror and adjust your perception of reality. |

Originally Posted By BURN: 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 View Quote But the cop is the one that can't control his temper. Luckily we had instant carma. |

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. View Quote There_it_is. I’ll say no more. |

I'm going with assholes collide.
Driver has a red light. There's one good reason to blow a red light like that: There's a guy in a yellow vest directing traffic, and that guy clearly instructed you to proceed through the light. In that case I proceed with caution, and I've had cops get visibly pissed at me when my caution slows things down. In this case, it seems pretty clear the guy in the yellow vest didn't want him to go through the red light. Field goal kicker had a violent temper tantrum, and then tried to prosecute somebody for felony "failure to stop and give aid after a personal injury accident", when the "accident" consisted of somebody swinging a long range kick at a passing car. The violent temper tantrum says he's not mentally suited for law enforcement work. Lying to hang a felony on the guy he attacked says this mental child needs a forcible time-out from society to reflect upon the error in his ways. |

I think the hardest thing for good LE working for good agencies to really absorb is that there are whole departments full of exactly the complete fuckheads we rail against here. - vectorsc

Be a shame if that cop and you people taking up for him were to get ran over.

It was contact between a pedestrian and a car. It needed to be reported. IMHO it's better for the driver to play dumb and call it an accident than to assert self-defense in bulling through the intersection "in order to escape the guy directing traffic."

It’s reflex to reach out and hit or kick a moving car that you were not expecting/started by rather than try to get away from it? Do retards have opposite reflexes than those that are not police officers? |

The law there requires you go back after someone intentionally damages your vehicle?

View Quote I don’t think I’ve personally said perjury, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that it had some creative writing that needed to be amended when the video was discovered. I do think that the constable should be charged with damaging the private property. Hopefully the video also has an impact on his workman’s comp claim. |

Yeah, actually, it does require perjury on his part. That's because the cop was the cause of both the injury and the damage to the driver's automobile. Further, there was no duty to stop and render aid to a person who was physically attacking the driver's vehicle and acting in an unlawful, aggressive manner. And, there is nothing "reflexive" about unlawfully attacking someone's vehicle when you yourself caused the problem. Your commentary is so ridiculous, it is bordering on trolling at this point. |

Does anyone here believe if the police report was released that it would say "I kicked the car, broke my leg, and the driver didn't stop"
The fact that the sheriffs office facebook post released says "vehicle struck" the cop The fact the DA dropped the failure to stop felony I'm going to guess the report did not accurately state the facts The one time I was stopped by a cop I FOIL'd the narrative and laughed my ass off at the bottom of the page signed "the information hereby is to the best of my knowledge under penalty of perjury" after the cop lied about the circumstances surrounding an obvious fishing stop for a DUI. How easy he typed the lie and the creative writing to make it look good.(pre-bodycam) It was just so easy for him to lie it blew my fantasy of cops in my own mind |
