Officer Down! [updated with legal resolution]

ScorpioVI said:
#3 I hope the officer goes to jail for knowingly falsifying a police report.

#4 I hope the rest of the officers and prosecutors involved goes to jail for covering up, making false claims, illegally recording conversations, filing unwarranted charges, harassing a citizen, malicious prosecution, breaching the public's trust.

I also know that the above won't happen. They ruined a man's life for no reason, and they will get away with it. (At least they didn't kill him, yay!)

Nobody's watching the watchers.

#5 I hope all of this is aired out with full transparency, not swept under a rug somewhere. That this investigation is openly shared with the media and public for once- is that too much to ask for?!
 
i always worry when they follow me so close.

and dont you love it when they try to make it the civilians fault so they can not have a blemish on their perfect police record... but when they wont be tried for filing a false police report...
 
Obviously this cop just doesn't have the balls to admit he was wrong.
 
1. Anybody else, but The Authorah-tays, and the rear-ender would be immediately declared 'at fault', and the matter 'done with'.

2. Anybody else, but The Authorah-tays, secretly recording a conversation would be in serious legal trouble.

3. Anyboody else, but the authorah-tays, spends the resources on a "MONTH-LONG" investigation ( witchhunt ) in an attempt to clear Officer Tail-gater, would be freakin' FIRED.

4. Did they really document that the officer was at the end of a 12-HOUR shift ? Ah, - reasonable doubt on how well he was riding, anybody ?

Does anyone in charge have ANY idea how this crap undermines the validity of The System ?

Any of you guys follow the Clear Lake case over the past few years ? - this isn't that bad as that case, that one sure sure torpedoed my confidence in the judgement of the Authorities.
 
There's nothing really funny about this. The cop is using his position of power (along with his dept. and DA office, all of which is paid for by the tax payers), to bring an obviously innocent person to trial. People should be losing thier jobs over this, and yet nothing will come of it, except the BMW driver will suffer financially trying to defend himself from these public service scumbags. The police overstep too much and no one is taking them on and putting them in their place.
 
all cops are dirty. they are human i think?
 
I think it's safe to say we can pretty much agree the cop was at fault with this one. Correct me if I'm wrong but in a rear end collision, it's usually the person behind that is found at fault. Had the officer been following at a safe distance, he would have had enough time to react to the brake check.

I've been pulled over several times in my life, and there's been a handful of times where the officer would be riding my ass with his lights on. I've always thought it was unnecessary, but figured they were just trying to get a read on my plate.

Hope the cop recovers from his injuries & humiliation of the photo... :laughing

Details?

Couple years back a deputy Perdock with the Clear Lake Sherrif's office runs over a sailboat, from behind, with his high-powered speedboat while traveling at a high rate of speed on a dark night, killing Lynn Thornton and injuring 2 others.

One of those two - a guest that was holding the tiller of the nearly-stationary sailboat at the time it was run down was charged with manslaughter because he'd had a few beers and was over the limit. The speeding vehicles' driver was tested for alcohol a day later, and has never been charged.

Multiple, credible witness that stated the sailboat had it's running lights on were told thier testimony wasn't needed.

The case went the whole way to trial - where the now-jobless and broke guy that got hit was acquited of all charges - dispite the fact that it was well-known just where the fault lay:

Your tax dollars at work.

That's pretty pathetic. And hilarious.

Pathetic, yes. Hilarious, to a point. But I'll bet the driver of the car is not finding it funny by now.

If it were me in that guy's position, I would have grown very, very tired of it by now, I'd have hired a lawyer, and then filed suit against the officer, the department, the DA's, and the city. That'd wake them all up and I'd settle out of court for what I deemed reasonable for screwing with my life like they did.

Lame ass cop trying to hang his incompentency on someone else. That's fucked up.
 
I can't figure out which is more douchey, that lying bastard cop making this poor slob's life a mess over nothing or Two Stroke spending all his time searching for this stuff on teh interwebs.
