Stupid Cop back-up

[monkeyja]

Last night, I went to stempede around 11pm and found a free spot to park and I walked across meclord tr at the intersection near Humpty's with my friend. When we was waiting for the light, a cop car stopped in the middle of the cross and also in front of us because of red light. The stupid cop car then back up and hit a car, that is a green VW jetta. We heard a loud "Boom" and the cop car stopped. We saw the cop got off the car and seems to ask that guy why you saw him backed up and he dont back up also. That is so stupid and that cop seems to be young. I think he should go learn how to drive.....:thumbsdow :rofl:
I never saw that happen before, but we are so happy and even other ppl walk across was :clap:

And the funny thing is, its the other drivers fault and he's is gonna get fined big time!

Are you smoking crack? No fucking way he's going to get fined or "taxed". Didn't you read the story... the cop was in the crosswalk... backed up into a car that COULDN'T back up.

Actually it is the guys fault. If I roll my car back and hit you it's your fault. There's a minimum distance you HAVE to be from the car in front of you and it's not realistic. Something like 1.5 lengths. If you're closer, I can pretty much reverse into you.

The jetta guy just has to hope the cop doesn't fight, or if he does the judge is feeling fair (hahahah).

:bullshit: where do you come up with this all this bullshit?? the cop didn't roll back, he reversed, there IS a difference between those 2! And it's not 1.5 lenghs, my drivers ed teacher told us that you have to be able to see the bottom of the guy in front of yous rear bumper

[mwmhong]

Bad boys!
What you want, what you want, what you gonna do.
When Sheriff John Brown BACK INTO YOU?
Tell me, what you gonna do?
Bad boys, Bad boys.......:hitit:

[hjr]

im pretty sure its not BS. I have heard of that on a few occasions. You have to leave a rediculus amount of room between you and the car infront of you. Plus, if the jetta guy was just a bit considerate he would have left him some room to back up anyways. The cop was in the crosswalk and jetta guy couldnt give him enough room to get out... well it 'sounds' like he was bing kinda a dick. But I really wasnt there and i dont know all the circumstances, so i will end there.

[Mckenzie]

There is a difference. If I am on a hill at a light and I roll back because of my manual tranny and hit you behind me, then its your fault.

You are NEVER supposed to reverse in the opposite direction that traffic is flowing. Even if you come to a screeching stop halfway through the crosswalk, a cop could give you a ticket for backing up.....weird rules but thats the law...

[nickyh]

My brother was rear ended by a cop on McLeod Trail 1 year ago.
Over $7000 damage to his rear end, the only excuse the cop gave was he thought my brother was going to run the orange light so he did not bother to hit his breaks.
Even my brother drivers seat broke (later recalled by Chrysler) by the force of the impact.
He did not sue though.... lucky for them since my parents have a laywer on retainer for an accident they had earlier. I would have taken the city for all I could.
The dumb ass cops even lost the paperwork relating to this! (Right - I believe that!)

They think they are above the law so regular rules don't apply to them.
I hope the VW driver takes the cops on! Any lawyer would love that job.

CORRECT........!!!!
you are so wrong that it's not the guy in VW's fault because the gap between the cop car and the VW is more than half car, just the stupid cop keep backing up.....
sorry didnt mention in my story......

What a idiot.

Yah, if the person is on your ass and you have absolutely no room. Other than that, just put your e-brake up.

I had this exact same thing happened to me under the overpass on Glenmore Trail/Macleod Trail 3 years ago. This lady in her manual Jeep must of let her foot off the clutch cause I was watching her, her head was down looking for something. Next thing you know she is rolling backwards, I honk but obviously she wasn't pay attention and BAM. She backs right into my front bumper, I was pretty fcuking pissed. She had the nerve to say I was following too close, fuck that shit. Dumb ass bitch and there was room between us, at least 1 car length in rush hour traffic.

Khyron Really? Can you imagine what traffic would be like if that was the case?

[tctdmx]

well, its funny how all this " reverse " in an intersection shiz is messing us up.

couple month ago i was driving down McLeod trail into downtown, it was raining pretty heavy and you know how SLOW peeps drive. Anyways, i came up to the intersection of 17th ave while the light turn yellow, tried breaking but if i did to come to a stop i woul've been in the middle of the intersection, so then i decided i'd just go since its yellow...

BUT nooooooo , a ghost car then catched up to me at 12th ave , pulled me over and asked me why i did not stop for the yellow light, so then i said, well, i'd be in the middle of the street, and i'm sure he saw me attempt to stop my car ......

here is what he said to me, as well as later in court as i tried fighting for it .. and apparently its VALID as well..... is " IF YOU TRIED TO STOP AND RESULTED TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, ACCORDING TO LAW YOU COULD HAVE BACKED UP AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU WILL HAVE NOTICED AND EITHER LEFT YOU THE SPACE THAT YOU REQUIRE, OR THEY'D BACK UP AS WELL."

i was like... WTF !!! , but i lost and i had to pay that stupid fine..

well, good luck man, hopefully you can get through this fair and get what those cops deserve ----

[Fluidic]

Hmmm... I need a new rear bumper... I think I want aftermarket... I'm going to go drive downtown... drive and brake in a crosswalk... wait for it to turn red then reverse into the car behind me.

Be right back guys!! :D ;)

It's called "assured clear distance" or something like that. You have to be able to see the tires to the car infront of you, any closer and you're at fault for whatever happens. If you're too close to the car infront of you and they roll into you, it's your fault for being too close. Now, if buddy puts it in reverse and backs into you without looking and you're within your clear distance, it's HIS fault.

I hate it when cops are above the law.

It's especially true with Kingston police (in Ontario). My friend's cousin got plowed by a car driven by a cop's daughter. The cop's kid was speeding through a red and hit her at over 50km/hr... enough to knock her shoes off.

There were eye witnesses, but none of them were interviewed. A lot of paperwork in the case was lost and the end result? Aboslutely nothing happens to the cop's kid.

Shit like this makes me furious. I hope the cop gets his ass fired and ends up on the street so I can throw fistfuls of pennies at him and his dumbass family.

To serve and protect? Go fucking fist yourself.

*OMG LOL*

So lemme get this straight. I stop on a hill and don't pull my e-brake. I roll back when the light turns green, and hit someone. It is now thier fault.


Anyone see anything wrong with this ? :dunno:


There should be NO reason that you roll back in a manual transmission car. In other countries that have better drivers than we do, when you're on your drivers license road test, if you roll back even one centimeter on a hill, you fail the test.


If someone rolls back into me, and the accident gets blamed on me, I'm hiring a lawyer and going to court, period.

If the guy behind you is too close and you're not PURPOSELY tryin' to be an ass, then yes, it's their fault. But if they stop with plenty of distance and you roll back and roll back and roll back until you do hit them, then it's your fault.

Yeah... and if you roll backwards more than an inch in a manual, ya don't deserve to be in a manual anyway. I agree. That was part of my drivers test too... though, the car was allowed to rock no more than 1 inch to allow for time between pedals.

[a_peep]

How could you prove that they weren't far back enough?!

[mustang]

It is illegal to reverse in a lane of traffic....

Still, that's what an e-brake is for, isn't it? :dunno:


But anyways, this law is complete bullshit, who the hell came up with anyways?? :thumbsdow

[Hakkola]

Was the car the cop bumped into in the intersection or behind the crosswalk?? If it was in the intersection I think he's screwed, otherwise logically I can't see a way it wouldn't be the cops fault. This is interesting.

On macloed trail near Henninger toyota, I saw a cop try to do a u turn drift (power over) but all he did was slide sideways into a crosswalk pole. It was some funny shit! We saw the same cop outside chinook an hour later, we yelled "howd ya get the big dent?" and all he did was glare... funny shit, then we left quickly no need to have him go Rodney King on my ass!

Damn... how come I never see things like this??? LMAO

[max_boost]

Why didn't he just turn on his sirens, lights etc. and blow through the intersection? Why reverse? LMAO
