The driver may have been a tool, but the cop should have acted a bit more mature like his badge would suggest.

This poster got it bang on:



Cop was/is a twat

much better and articulate post.

That said, I know there are corrupt cops out there. But what transpires where you're from doesn't necessarily carry over to what is going on in this situation. You implying that the cop is jealous or alluding that he is corrupt is speculation until proven otherwise. All we know right now is that the cop was issuing a citation for an improperly registered vehicle - which he is in his rights to do so. I do agree that this incident could have been handled differently from both sides, and the cop could have been a bit more professional. However, I think the Fcar owner could have obeyed the cops commands and just taken the ticket instead of attempting to drive off. Instead he provoked the cop when he could have just taken the ticket and contested it in court. After all, the cop did warn him a couple of times. Even if the cop did have an attitude or was on a power trip, or jealous, it does not excuse the actions of the Fcar owner.

At the end of the day, this is a snap shot in time. As you can see, there are many interpretations of this incident from a short video clip. Some context is missing, such as what was said initially when the owner approached his car and the cop, but that is lost in the back ground noise.

i woud have ran over thatcops head! what the hell is that attitude?
his job is to protect the citizens !he said he was asaulted....he put his foot under the wheel! this is not right! he should have send the fine to his adress and that's it

The P/O could have taken a different tact but did nothing but his job. To all the young men who think that 458 Italia guy's response was totally appropriate, I wish you the very best of luck in the future.
End thread please.

dont know if this was already stated but the cop repositions his foot quickly under the tire as if intentionally trying to get the guy to run it over. had the driver just took off and ran over it violently, one thing, but watch again and what the cop did was intentional. Yes, the driver should have waited and not acted like he was above it but it was taken too far on another level. Not a fan of the "law" when I have seen numerous situations to take advantage of the law.

I wonder how some would have reacted if someone came to their workplace ignored them and then ran over their foot after they were repeatedly told to stop? The kid could ve lost control and really hurt the cop and he was just doin his job.
There a lot of traffic stops that end up in police officer fatalities,i can see why he got so tense.

I think we can all debate whether or not the driver actually ran over the cops foot or not, but I don't think that's ultimately the real issue here. Yes this will have an impact on the severity of his punishment but the real issue here is that he disobeyed a clear instruction from the officer.

You can clearly see in the video that the cop asked him repeatedly to stop and the driver kept ignoring him. You just simply can't disobey an officer and if you do then the police officer may feel that his safety and others are in jeopardy specially when the other party is behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. It then ultimately gives him the right to use any force necessary to get the situation under control.

Everything else that happened afterwards - punching the window, smashing the door open, forcefully removing the driver & slamming him to the ground - will be seen as justified by the court and the officers supervisors.

No matter how minor or major a situation is you simply have to obey an officer.

A vehicle can be used a weapon. This guy clearly has no regard for human life. This guy should have sneezed at this ticket given the price tag of this car. He probably think he's above the law and i'm certain that this incident will not change his perspective on life. Where's Bain when you need him?

This sums up the incident... sounds like it was the driver at fault if this is accurate.

The owners girlfriend seen in the video is also Stephanie Pratt from the MTV hit show, The Hills.

Can't be that bad of a life!

[MediaArtist]

That was extremely stupid.

[aajami]

The driver is an idiot for attempting to drive away while being cited.

[persian54]

Driver is an idiot.

I also feel the officer didn't act appropriately

[OBI_agent]

I feel bad for both of them.....ignorance vs over acting!!! :P

Guys, it's even simpler than that. Once another person or any other living being finds itself in front of your car, you stop - unless of course your life is in danger which clearly wasn't the case here.

It's not ok to "push by" with your fender, you may be breaking the guy's leg if the things line up the wrong way, or perhaps you dislocate his knee cap.

So cop or not, once he is in front of your car, you simply cannot drive off.


I mean, would you do that if it were your son, wife, GF or mother sitting there?

I'm very impressed by your possible future accomplishments.

[grimlock]

I don't know where some people get their code of conduct, maybe they are actually 18 and never even faced a cop. Amazing.

nypd ftw!

You're dreaming, by the time you're Schnell's age , your mom and dads would have already kicked you out of their house. Hahahahahahaha

[michaelthepsycho]

A) If many of you folks read the YouTube comments, he was legally valeted.

B) Yes, the driver was a douche. Legal rights are written in paper and don't mean squat in the real world unless you're in court. Take your battle there. Five minutes of inconvenience ain't worth getting arrested over.

C) Yes, the cop was a douchette as well. You got the car info, so just finish writing the details and mail it. Terrible acting as well. No sympathy from me. You had no trouble getting him down but afterwards had to lean on the car for support? SMH...

D) Stephanie Pratt is average. Raise your standards, people...

lmao very true!

Here's the interesting, where he parked is actually part of the valet section of the hotel. So basicaly the ticket would have been deemed null since it's in legal grounds of the hotel. Now here's where it gets funny cuz the douchebag things he can just do whatever he wants cuz he owns a ferrari. Sorry sunshine, that simply isn't the case!. So both are in the wrong but man that kid is sooooo stupid
