I watched the video again..I'm totally on her side now.
Four diff times, she can be heard saying "I didn't think it was safe for you" to be pulled over on the shoulder. Fully admitted to the speeding. That cop needs to go. |
Bye the way, this incident was in July 2020. My guess is the kid is out and crapping away. Looking up at momz and saying "trust fund"?

Close to 20 years ago, I was working late. I got off work and was headed home at about 1 am on a weeknight. The roads were mostly empty. I still owned my 911. I was on a 5 lane road that probably had a 35-45 speed limit. The only thing in the area were businesses that were all closed. I ran it up, probably to about 60, went through a green light, under the freeway and turned left onto the feeder to get on the freeway. Just before I got to the onramp, probably going 60-70, I noticed a police car lights on coming up behind me fast. I hit my brakes and pulled right into a parking lot. Because the cop was probably closing on my with a 20-30 mph differential, I think he damn near rear ended me and overshot and had to come back. I think it scared the crap out of him. I just got a warning. |
I think I read an article couple of years ago where a cop got on a power trip and tried to write the driver up for unsafe stopping when he had indeed rear ended the car he tried to pull over.
Here it's pretty strange, cops will over take you turn the lights and fanfare on.. POLICE FOLLOW and drive to wherever it's safe to stop.. But... obviously here, cops are always with 2, driver and co driver. which i think makes it all a great deal safer and more manageable. Less fear and worry on the cops end as well |

In Ohio, going north on an empty freeway maybe 5-10mph over, once had a cop pull out across both lanes right in front.
I had to slam on the brakes and go off the shoulder to avoid t-boning him hard. The "Welcome to Michigan" sign was right there. (and yes I got the ticket) |

Yes, he got ticketed... |
Cop must ave been in a Mustang too?

The PIT maneuver was adapted from the bump and run technique used in stock car racing, where a driver would bump a competitor in the rear bumper to cause the other car to lose traction and swerve away from the racing line. The PIT maneuver differs from the bump and run in that the car is bumped from the side near the rear wheel, causing the vehicle in front to spin out. It is illegal to perform this maneuver intentionally in stock car racing because it is very dangerous. The high speed involved in auto racing makes it much easier for drivers to take out another car with a less substantial bump than at lower speeds. When employing the PIT maneuver, the speed of the two cars involved will determine how far the car will travel once it is bumped. Partially for this reason, the higher the speed, the more unpredictable and dangerous the PIT maneuver becomes. This is just one of the very important factors a police officer must consider before implementing the PIT maneuver. In an ideal world, a police officer would be trained to wait until conditions are right before attempting a PIT maneuver to avoid the use of deadly force. Speeds must be lower[clarification needed] and the "landing site" for the bumped vehicle must be clear of danger.
The first US law enforcement agency to teach PIT as a technique to halt fleeing vehicles was the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia,[3] which modified the parameters for initiating and executing the technique for police use. Terry Pearson and Joseph McDowell were the first law enforcement officers to incorporate the technique into training. Terry Pearson named it the "Precision Immobilization Technique" or P.I.T. A publication of the United States National Institute of Justice wrote in 1996: |
Known initially as "tactical ramming" or "legal intervention", this maneuver was more fully developed and popularized more than a decade ago by BSR Inc., the Summit Point, West Virginia, advanced driver training center, as tactical vehicle interception (TVI), a formal training technique for law enforcement. The first large law enforcement agency to teach TVI as a technique to halt fleeing vehicles was the Fairfax County (Virginia) Police Department, which modified the program for police use and named it "Precision Immobilization Technique" or P.I.T.[1]
Police departments throughout the United States consider the PIT maneuver as an intermediate force option that can safely end a pursuit. Police vehicles often have reinforced front bumpers to support this technique. The PIT is not applicable in every situation, and many factors affect the usefulness of the technique. Many of these factors relate to safety concerns: typical police regulation recommends that an officer not attempt the PIT at speeds greater than 35 miles per hour (55 km/h), and requires careful choice of location, considering all possible effects on other traffic vehicles and pedestrians. Because of the police department's potential liability for the injury or death of not only of the occupants of the target vehicle, but also bystanders, most departments limit its use to only the most high-risk scenarios. Most departments specify that the PIT should only be used to stop pursuits that are immediately dangerous and ongoing. When possible, a minimum of three pursuers should be present when a PIT is executed: one as the PIT vehicle and two following at a greater distance to react to the results.[citation needed] Limitations: The PIT is especially hazardous when the vehicles' bumpers are of significantly different heights, or against target vehicles with a high center of gravity such as vans or SUVs. High center of gravity vehicles frequently roll over. It cannot be safely used on motorcycles at any speed. At speeds below 35 MPH, it can be used on a fleeing vehicle, if the legal parameters would justify "less than lethal force" against the driver. At speeds greater than 35 MPH, the technique still works, but it is considered potentially lethal and normally would only be used if lethal force is justified against all occupants. It is best used when the driver is on surface streets and cornering. A high speed motorist may kill innocent people and it can sometimes be justified for that traffic offense. Since there may be unwilling or innocent passengers in the car, there is an inherent difficulty in justifying the use of PITs. Some suggest that due to the utilization of electronic control systems on modern vehicles, the policies of using PIT maneuvers might need some more consideration.[5] |
