Officer Down! [updated with legal resolution]

Well, I've seen hundreds of motorcycle cop stops around here and they NEVER use their siren for starters. Just the flashing lights unless the person doesn't pull over.

Bunch of bullshit.


This guys got it right.



First DA knew it was bull also



Without any kind of pre crash road rage going on, you'll never prove intent to short stop with malice. If you hit a siren right behind a convertible with the top down, they're going to hit the brakes. Cop wasn't prepared.

Hitchcock also has TWO witnesses that corroborate his version.
 
The guy should have rolled out of his car onto the ground and started shouting "my neck! my neck! whiplash!" This is America after all.
 
and the beemer driver will have to move, cause the police in that town will now have his number and never gie him a moment of peace.

Cop should be prosecuted for perjury and anything else they can throw at him. City attorney for malicious prosecution.

Cop probably hasn't signed anything under oath or affirmation under penalty of perjury.

City attorney is protected by absolute immunity. (As opposed to cops who have qualified immunity.)

Ask me how I know. :p


I read somewhere that in CA, LEOs are immune from crash liability once they illuminate a red light. I recalled that when I had a CHP (no light) six feet off my rear bumper at 70 mph.

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.

Yup. Didn't the DA and his buddy cop finally get run out of office?

Finally got some serious press, including Lat 38, so some light got beamed onto the pricks. Hopefully same will happen here.

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:

The day after the wreck, Parente was reported to have "soft tissue" injuries. Since June he's been on paid medical leave, and apparently not having much fun. "The assault has caused me some intimacy problems with my spouse," he wrote at the end of his report.

Ah, so that's what this is about. Ah, so that's what this is about.

So Strosnider asked Redondo city prosecutor Brenda Wells to pursue a misdemeanor criminal assault charge against the baffled and outraged Hitchcock. Wells agreed.

That city attorney know's what's best for Redondo Beach...

Redondo Beach City Prosecutor Brenda Wells is receiving considerable heat over her decision not to charge Torrance Police Sgt. Michael Mastick, who was involved in an off-duty hit-and-run collision. He admitted that he fled the scene because “judgment was impaired by alcohol.”
