In Ohio your specifically required to notify immediately and as early as possible. They just passed a law within the last 30 days to modify this as it was overly broad and vague, but it doesn’t go into effect until something like January. This incident was about the time they were voting on it.
He attempted to tell the officer very early in the incident but was told to shutup before he could say anything. You can here him start the sentence and the response the first time they talk to him before talking with the “lady”. They also fail to listen to him as to why he is there (just off night shift cleaning duty) or how he knows her from when he was a taxi driver.
There are also threats toward the end about targeting him going forward anytime they see him in the area as retribution for his “lack of communication”.
According to the video, the cops were traveling blacked out which I assume means without headlights on and blew through at least one stop sign without stopping or slowing down. Laws apply to “them” not “us” mentality is readily apparent in the video.
Oh forgot, the dispatch failed to imform the cop - until after the diatribe that the driver was a CCW carrier. Which I think just made him that much angrier.
I just realized I was repetitively redundent “immediately and as early as possible” - basically as soon as you can you have to tell the cops, but it’s vague - I think the wording may be similar to Michigan as “timely”, so they’re changing it to eliminate the “police interpretation”.
