So he was at fault but he won't get a ticket because it was an accident?

I'm fairly confident that the sheriffs department issues dozens if not hundreds of tickets per day to civilians who did something "by accident."

There really are to America's now: one for the government employees and one for the rest of us.

“Clearly at fault” pretty well clears the air about compensation.

I just don’t like cops. There were 5 sheriff’s deputies in my little neighborhood today writing up speeders. The speed limit is 30 and I’ve never seen one going more than what I suspected to be 40. Just in time for Christmas.

Guess it’s still better than the Milwaukee County Deputy who ran a red light, seriously injured a woman, then tried to frame her for drunk driving. As far as I know, nothing has happened to him apart from a 9-day suspension.

There’s a lot of agencies that would let him drive a desk, or work in the lockup so he could “meditate” on his mistake. Not this one. He’s definitely on the watch commanders shit list for a while. been there, done that (nothing this bad).

I've seen a lot of cops around here (Ithaca NY area) racing around like teenagers for no damn reason -- they aren't on an emergency (no lights, no siren), and yet they think they can ignore the rules because they're cops.

Sure, I'd like for them to be able to go home safe to their families at the end of the day, just like anybody else. But when they are blatantly breaking their own laws and endangering others who would also like to go home safe, there's just no excuse.

An undisciplined militarized police force is just the State authorities begging for trouble. By the way, the general population of the USA should be considered citizens, not civilians. This will help keep the values of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in place.
