Lesson of the day: Dont run over a police officers foot - not even in a Ferrari (VID)
 

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

according to the article the blonde chick is Stephanie Pratt from The Hills

OPPS lol

Americas finest hard at work.

The cop had no authority to detain him.

Parking tickets are a civil matter not a criminal matter.

assaulting a police officer might be though

Appears to me that it obviously turned into assault with a motor vehicle... which is a criminal matter.

It didn't "turn into" an assault. The cop attempted to detain someone illegally. If I attempt to detain you illegally you have every right to attempt to leave.

Unless you believe police are above the law there is no justification for his actions.

It was not intented, just an accident :winkwink:

there might be law - and then there is common sense...

Your common sense dictates that police can detain you for civil money collection and my common sense dictates that they can not.

That is why we have the rule law and not the rule of common sense.

The hell he didnt he ran over his foot , Id done same thing

that is easily said when you sit behind your keyboard. i'd like to see how you run over a police officers foot cause the law says you can. but make sure someone films it - for our amusement :)

The attempted detention occurred fist. It is very clear that the cop intentionally stepped in front of the vehicle.

I'm completely willing to defend myself right up to taking a persons life if need be. It makes no difference to me what costume they are dressed in.

I have no respect for the revenue collection aspects of their job, but I also have no specific animosity towards any of the police I have encountered in real life.

This looks like a case of everyone being stupid. The guy decides to leave, probably thinking he might then get out of the ticket or just because he thinks since he drives a Ferrari he can do what he wants. The cop then steps in front of the front tire and ends up getting his foot run over. The cop should have just let him go. Once he had his license plate number, which is typically the first thing they fill out on the ticket, they will just mail you the ticket.

yes, sure, you will shoot a police officer that gives you a ticket. right on :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That isn't even remotely close to what I just typed.

its just the logical consequence

Well said. :2 cents:

Bullshit, and you'd be the first whining when locked up

No its not.

The real core of our disagreement is that you expect me to have fear and reverence towards a group of people that I simply don't. I place myself on the same level as them legally and morally.

I guess being submissive isn't one of my kinks.

Tyler Dumstorf would have been a more hip/contemporary line. At least people could look it up and figure it out.

no, the problem is that you automatically imply that the police is something someone should have fear of

when i park my car wrong, i accept the ticket and move on.

not because i am submissive, but because i was an idiot to park there.

i will smile at the officer, take the ticket, maybe have a chat and then drive away.

the police is not my enemy - at least not over here. they're just people in uniform. but i respect their job.

At least the cop can now claim disability for the rest of his life from this incident :)

None of what you just said has anything to do with the video. We're not talking about YOU or ME getting a ticket we are talking about a specific incident on video where a cop steps in front of a car to detain someone. You can't win an argument by convoluting it.

I think I am going to actually get some work done. Respect for the debate.

getting your foot ran over doesn't even fucking hurt

good for the cop, He was already writing the ticket and the dude should not of tried to move the car (big deal Like he can't pay the ticket). Anyways once he tried to move it...running over his foot is like an assault on a police officer. That cop should of busted out the window and pulled him out of it.

Clearly vehicular assault.

The cop was in the process of writing an infraction. Whether he intentionally stepped in front of the vehicle while writing the summons or not doesn't grant the vehicle owner the right to drive over the officer's foot.

Looks to me as though the Ferrari owner figured he owns the world and doesn't have to play by the rules. Good to see the cop(s) take that jackass down.

Hope the judge throws the book at him.

the cop should have knocked his teeth out for being a cocky idiot.

lol .

Yep, the cop definitely deserved that and hopefully this video will be used in court for the guy to sue the city.

A cop did kind of the same shit to me and eventually I got 4k and a clean record because of it.. :upsidedow

It really doesn't, he was acting like a pussy since he probably saw someone recording him.

If there's anyone who can comment and be correct, it's the guy who writes tickets for a living. :thumbsup

Parking Ticket is a civil matter, you are right. But according to the American laws (if my lessons serves me well), assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon (this case a car), now that is criminal.

Yep they law can be a messed up thing.

Even if you are correct in your interpretation of the law...my common sense as well as the law says you cannot run over an officer because you think he is illegally detaining you. That constitutes an assault with a deadly weapon at the very least which is a major felony.

cocky shit had it coming... heh heh!

You don't have the right to willingly hurt anyone unless its to defend yourself or your property (and that depends on the state). If you step in front of me and prevent me from leaving, i don't have the right to run you over. Not sure what planet you live on, but unless you live in Somalia, i think you'll find this is the case all over this planet.

Ah, i would have helped the guy.

The guy was an idiot to attempt to drive off, however the Officers reaction was way way over the top.

Hitting the guys car, slamming him on the ground, abuse, leaning all over the car (bet he did that bullshit to scratch it on purpose) and then developing a fake limp for the cameras :1orglaugh

the cop could have said dont move until i have finished

...Or not put his foot near the tire.
Fucking idiot.
:disgust

the correct answer was stated already. However, & I'm not saying this as an OG thug, but most people have had some trivial run ins with the law, & last thing you do is what this guy did. I'm on the cops side on this one. The word "detain" was used. Define detain. A cop on the street basicly becomes a traffic sign. If he says stop, effn stop. Defining "detain" is irrelevant.
admittedly, some police officers don't always portray themselves the way the public sees fit, however, this officer got his foot ran over. He was litterally threatened with a deadly weapon & did a pretty good job of keeping his cool.
just my 2
ds

leave and go where, he was blocked in by traffic. he was just being a douchbag he saw the cop there, probably thought he was better than him and was about the law since he had a Ferrari

anyone with common sense would have waited. this dude just thought he was above getting a ticket

I would have turned this on,



and stared his four eyed bitch ass down :thumbsup
