Re: Ferrari 458 Spider runs over police

Notice how the cop is next to the car when the driver gets in - he does not engage him prior to getting in or in any way tell him to stop. It could be argued that the driver may not have even known what the cop was doing. Suddenly the cop steps into the path ONCE the engine starts.
There seems to be an exchange of words before he gets into the car. The driver is saying something the to the cop and it appears as though he replies...
So - at worst it was a parking ticket and it was served. The cop did not have the authority to impede him - that would be false imprisonment, or even detain him. The cop did a dumb thing by stepping into the path of a car, then assaulted the driver - NOT a smart move by the cop. Nick would love this case - he can argue don't you know???
