Quoted:
I did not say that. However the chances of your kid being struck by a vehicle in someone elses driveway goes down a lot if you keep your kids off of other peoples property. That's pretty reaching. And really, so what? What kid rides their bike only in their driveway? And the guy couldn't apologize? And the sheriff couldn't find another damn unclaimed bike? Every dept has 50 of them laying around collecting rust. Why would you apologize for something that is not your fault? Hitting a child on a bicycle while your driving a vehicle isn't your fault? Really, seems I've settled a few of those cases very easily. |

Not every instance. Really it depends on the mental state of a child. A child cannot be guilty of contributory negligence in Alabama until a certain age. In this case if we assume the girl was somehow partially negligent and the drive was negligent (failure to keep a proper lookout, which is in the Code, etc.) then the fault is all his. Being a 5 year old means she is, in the eyes of the law, incapable of contributory negligence. Thus, his fault and an apology would have solved the problem. |

I in no way shape, form or fashion think it is "just fine". Accidents happen. Your child being stuck by someone elses vehicle, on someone elses property is not likely to happen if you don't allow your child to be on someone elses property. A report was taken. What else do think is going to happen? It's not his fault their kid was in his driveway when he entered his property. <---IRL, I personally deal with this all the time, Neighbors kids like to ride their bikes down my driveway because it is a steep. Not my fault one day if I crunch one, and if it happens I will not apologize for it. I have also worked one where a neighbor ran over the next door neighbor kid in guess where, the other neighbors driveway. Empathy is what makes us human. If you don't have it, you need help. What kind of person would "crunch" a child and not say they were sorry? Take a look at yourself and think about that. I would feel for them that their kid got crunched but I'm not apologizing for it. Keep your kids off other peoples property. It's amazing when folks around here talk about property rights until something like this comes along now it's ok to trespass.

SO that excuses his behavior? and not apologizing? according to reports he was driving fast for a residential street, and an SUV no less. Even if she was on his "property" the son of a bitch should have acted like a man instead of some asshole who thinks he's above the law simply because he wears a badge and carries a gun. NO EXCUSE for acting like an asshole he should have manned up but he didn't and I do hope he loses his badge, although not likely as the "good ole boy" network is hard at work to protect him.

According to the mom who admits she was on his property and jumped his ass first. He was cleared of any wrong doing by the state police, the DA and apparently the SO. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
If you actually believe that suffice it to say I think you're in a small, small minority. We've all seen contempt of cop for a lot less than that. I can't make up a charge because I am pissed off, nor would I ever dream of doing such. I take the responsibility that comes with authority very seriously. One's pride will sometimes take a beating....trust me. But that is part of the job. Contempt of cop usually involves cops arresting someone because, yes they are pissed, but elements of a crime still exist. A matter of discretion not going the perpetrator's way. If they are making up a charge they belong in prison...under the prison. Either way, I think it is never good to let your emotions rule you when doing this job, or any job for that matter. |

Which side did you fall on in Texas case where the man was in his garage? Oh yeah, that's different. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I would feel for them that their kid got crunched but I'm not apologizing for it. Keep your kids off other peoples property. It's amazing when folks around here talk about property rights until something like this comes along now it's ok to trespass. Which side did you fall on in Texas case where the man was in his garage? Oh yeah, that's different. The cops fucked up. You're a smart guy don't let yourself...

You're telling me people who'll lie about that wouldn't claim you were driving wrecklessly when you hit their little girl then told them to put a fucking bandaid on it? You cannot believe that. There's another thread right now about traffic violations, and if the cop says it, it happened. Maybe you're a good guy and would never do that, but you cannot be naive enough to believe that nobody else would. |

If the five year old kid rides his bike into the travel lane and gets crushed it's the kids fault. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Why would you apologize for something that is not your fault? Hitting a child on a bicycle while your driving a vehicle isn't your fault? Really, seems I've settled a few of those cases very easily. Not every instance. Really it depends on the mental state of a child. A child cannot be guilty of contributory negligence in Alabama until a certain age. In this case if we assume the girl was somehow partially negligent and the drive was negligent (failure to keep a proper lookout, which is in the Code, etc.) then the fault is all his. Being a 5 year old means she is, in the eyes of the law, incapable of contributory negligence. Thus, his fault and an apology would have solved the problem. If the five year old kid rides his bike into the travel lane and gets crushed it's the kids fault. Not in Civil Court. |

I already addressed criminals and said what should be done to them. |
