agreed, and what if the other person was killed as a result? they would have been taken out due to lack of good judgment on the officers part. this goes for any authority figure.

they enforce the law of “imprudent speed.” they can ticket you if they think your accident was a result of going too fast, witnesses or evidence aren’t even a necessity to hand you a citation. happened to me about 8-9 years ago. my car was wrecked on a back road late at night, an no one saw what happened. it WAS NOT a result from excessive speed either. still, i left the scene with ticket in hand. not saying the officer who clipped the other motorist was or wasn’t at fault, but law enforcement officers really need to start setting a better example, and practice what they preach.
