Dashcam footage clears man of felony charge after showing constable injuring himself

41 comments

And the 4 police officers on the scene who lied about the incident will be dismissed and charged with lying to the police? Noo? Noo?

The fact the driver was charged means the police are lying systematically

- They investigated themselves, no one lied, they just had amnesia during those 5 seconds.

- ACAB but I wouldn't put too much weight in the other officers intentionally lying. The incident happened so fast I'd assume 3 of the 4 didnt even catch it from the right angle and are just going off of what Dumbo says happened.
  
  Cancan Dan should go to prison for the same sentence as the crime he falsely accused the driver of.

  Isn’t that a lie, if they claimed they witnessed it, just to back up what another guy said? By corroborating a lie, they contributed to false charges which could have sent someone to jail, ruined his life.

- Okay people, I gotta just keep saying this until it sticks.
  
  Multiple Os in a word sound like a long U, not a long O. This means unless you’re heading into another consonant, you’re not saying “Go” any more you’re saying “goo”.

  What's your alternative to convey the meaning that everyone understood already?

Breaks my heart thinking about all the innocent victims that aren't lucky enough to be exonerated like this :/

- Yes. This is like opening a random door and discovering an axe murder in progress. It makes you wonder what’s going on behind all the doors that didn’t get opened.
  
  One of the worst states a society can be in is one where it seems normal on the surface, but there’s massive hidden injustice happening under the surface. With something like the Battle of Britain, they truly were all in it together. But with the way our policing system works, people are getting horribly treated and their stories just aren’t known.
  
  A society based on human sacrifice is invalid. If there’s a monster eating people, we need to all be aware of it. Currently the monster is eating people and getting away with it, because we have a cultural assumption that anyone talking about the monster is to be avoided and shunned.
  
  It’s horror.

So.. filing a false police report? That cannot be qualified immunity.. right?

71
- If straight up planned murder is under qualified immunity, then why would they care about a false police report?
  
  21
- You'd be surprised.

  Believe it or not... no jail

It sucks that they turned this into a story about how great mass surveillance is

64
- In fairness, the mass surveillance is just more evenly distributed when civilian dashcams are proliferated.

  I'm a lot more ok with many people having non internet connected dashcams than one corporation having continuous access to a giant network of cameras

- Mass surveillance is here to stay, but the fun part is we can mass surveillance right back.

  Still not ok, when there is no downside for lying on a police report. Not everyone will be lucky enough to get dashcam footage contradicting four police offices conspiring to lie

ACAB

Cops kill.
Cops lie.

Hopefully that leg break was a severe one.

Dorner did nothing wrong

From the preview tab, looks like it might be the cop who kicked a moving car and broke his leg? I won't watch the ad YT is shoving at me and don't care enough to download the video using a workaround. Either way, fuck cops.

- Yeah don’t watch. I’m usually fine with gore videos but this leg break is something I feel. I didn’t need that footage rattling around in my brain

- I like your style, Comrade!

- It’s actually a brutal leg break…

"real time conviction"

Is it me or does the legal analyst at 1:25 in the video bear an uncanny resemblance to John Waters?

Y'all should really watch before commenting on this one. The video that driver certainly not following traffic law on this one. Speeding illegally through an intersection lmao.

-18
- Then the driver should have been charged with those offences. Also I have no idea how YOU know he was breaking any traffic laws from that video. The officer onsite indicates the lights are not to be trusted, and "speeding", I'd love to see how you went about determining that from this video....
  
  The cop played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. In a just world once he heals up he would go to jail for the same crime/time as he falsely accused the driver of. Oh well.

- The good old but he did that so he must be held responsible for this argument. I hope that one day you'll be caught in a similar situation but without the cam footage to save you.

Wait, wait, wait. When the video starts showing the constable, he is already holding his leg out in front of him, as if to force the driver to stop. No kicking motion can be seen in the video. So it's legal to just hit someone who is holding his leg out in front of your car (however stupid that may be), injure him seriously and then just drive away?!

-18
- You don't get to jump out in front of a moving vehicle, then claim they ran you down.

  Ok but don't you at least have to stop and check on the injured person? I mean even if it's an accident, you're obliged to stop and help, aren't you? Is that just a Europe thing? I'm not American, but it would seem like a very basic rule to agree on.
