So why didn't he detain him, and worse allow the guy to get in the car? Then after he allows the guy in the car why is his first step in front of the car and not to the door?

The cop wanted to get "run over".

Had he stepped to the side or to the door, the driver could have left the scene. He was blocking the driver's escape. As I said, that was doing the driver a favor. Had he left, he would have had committed another offense.

Blocking his escape with his foot that the driver couldn't possibly have seen? If he wasn't being detained or under arrest why would leaving be another offense?

Do you honestly think the cops foot was hit by the car?

He was partially in front of the vehicle. And no, it is fairly obvious that his foot was not actually run over. At least, not fully run over. The tire might have hit his boot, but that's sufficient.

I think it's reasonable if you put your foot in front directly in front of a moving object it's going to get hit, so while on paper "a tire running over a cops foot, even a little" is sufficient the circumstances don't add up. Cops can't throw themselves into traffic and claim vehicular assault. So this goes back to a question you didn't answer; why didn't the cop detain/arrest him before he allowed him in the car?

He didn't throw himself into traffic. He stepped in front of a car that was slowly attempting to leave. While writing the ticket, he had the vehicle detained. A vehicle can be temporarily detained separate from the individual. When the driver got into the vehicle, both the driver and the vehicle were then temporarily detained. If I had been the issuing law enforcement officer, I would not have allowed the driver to get into the vehicle. He did. At that point, the driver should have sat there and received his ticket. If he wanted to contest the ticket since he was supposedly parked in a valet line, he should have not paid the fine and gone to court to get the ticket dismissed.

Challenging the authority of a law enforcement officer is not smart. Using your car to intimidate the officer by accelerating and braking a few times is not smart. Doesn't matter if he saw his foot or not. The officer positioned himself such that the driver knew the law enforcement officer's intent to detain. There is no valid argument to the contrary.

Hmm not sure what you mean.

The car was $36990, that's not the out of door price.

Taxes, shipping, etc.

Taxes are 2400

Shipping the car was another $1200

The warranty was $5300.

so where the fuck am I lying?


It's still an '06 :rolleyes:

1. The word you are kooking for is chock
2. Agreed hes faking injuries at the end
a. Who the fuck tries to stop a moving car by sticking their foot under the tires
b. Car does not raise when approaching his foot which means it never went over his foot
c. Even if it did run over his foot, the weight of an exotic car, especially over the front wheels of a mid engine sports car, is nothing so it would not hurt.
3. Then he tries to pull the tough guy act by smashing his fist into the window. That probably hurt him more than the tire nudging his foot. Notice how delay the outburst was.

Cop was looking for a reason to yank him out of the car to cuff him.
*not saying the driver wasn't at fault

Curb weight: 1,485 kg (3,274 lb) Yeah, that's pretty much nothing.

I'm confused. Why are "people" stupid enough to say that the cop didn't identify himself when it's already been pointed out that prior to the filming, there was already an interaction between the officer and the arrested person?

Do you people think someone was filming an officer writing a ticket for the hell of it, then got lucky when more stuff happened?? That's pretty stupid.

fleeing a ticket is a much lesser offense than vehicular assault on an officer.

It makes me so angry that these police pigs think they can harass people with Ferrari's. Why don't they get a clue and go after people driving Toyota or Honda?

Well, had the driver heeded the officer's warning and body positioning, the driver would have received only one citation, not two. But the idiot decided to say fuck-this-detainment and used his car to threaten, intimidate, and ultimately hit the officer.

so are you absolving the officer from all responsibility and blame here?

Hmm the cop was doing the threatening and intimidateing with his body...the driver simply decided not to be persecuted to a cop going beyond the law.

Which leads us to where is the extra footage then?

Not beyond the law. If you get pulled over by a cop for, say, speeding. But you KNOW you were driving at 34 mph in a 35 mph zone, you CANNOT JUST LEAVE.

Same principle applies. He was getting a ticket. He can't just leave, even if he disagrees.
