We’ve had two “death by cop “ driving accidents in South Jersey in the last six months . One state trooper ran a stop sign at night , no lights, sirens, etc. and killed two girls. The other local cop blew through an intersection at 90 mph and killed an 80 year old man whose son was a cop in the same town .
We recently had a situation where a cop blew a red light and caused a series accident. He blamed the driver of the other car, who was illegal and did not speak English, and gave her several tickets thinking there were no independent witnesses to dispute his version of events, which occurred in the early morning hours. Little did he know that my friend, who is a late night techie, had stepped outside his office for a smoke and witnessed the whole thing.
