I want to know what ajenda ABC news has reporting something that happened 6 months ago?

 

I do not think the deputy used excessive force at all, he did in fact ask the woman if her father was under doctors care and she said she did not know and she did not know if he was even at that location. Good enough to disbelieve her story for me. Now consider she’s going 30 mph over the limit and then leaves before the officer can properly investigate her background or story.

 

The only reason people are upset is this is one of the rare occasions someone wasn’t lying to get out of a ticket. Thank god, that selfish woman didn’t hit anyone in the parking lot or cause an accident.

 

 

Wow, Okie doesn't like the laws this country has in place. 

1. 30 miles over the speed limit is ok.

2. Leaving a traffic stop is ok.

3. The Sunstar medic did her job, she is not allowed by law to tell you where they are transporting your neighbor.  It's call the HIPAA privacy law.  You would have to be a family member to recieve that information.

i am aware of hipaa...im a retired rn...worked for the dallas va hospital for 12 yrs...i also know about compassion and respect for my patients wishes...she was having a heart attact and asked me to call her daughter...i am also aware of police brutality and a holier than thou attitude...have seen it way too many times...mostly among police and paramedics who lack the intelligence to be doctors and lawyers...

worked for the va huh? then you know all about doing as little as possible lossing paperwork denying benifits and following the rules.

 

 

 

I think the Deputy was wrong. He should be suspension!!!! He should have

followed her to the hospital to check out her story.  If it wasn't true

then do something about it.  I think just the way the girl was telling her

story to him, It was TRUE!!!!!! not everyone tell's stories.

I hope someday very soon someone close to you is in the hospital lets see what you do. You sound like you are heartless. Did you not listen to what the deputy said, He told her GOOD when she told him again that her dad was having a heart attack. The deputy should be FIRED!!!!! He will do it again.

did you not listen when he pulled her over and asked is he under doctors care and she replied she did not know and she did not even know if he was at that hospital?

 

she lost all credibility in the firsts 5 seconds of the stop.  had she waited until after the ticket was written she could have then gone and checked, or heck why not use her cell phone to call and ask while she waited?

 

no she felt the law did not apply to her and left...now 6 months latter we see this poor officer cruicified over a legitmate stop

Motomo- I'm heartless?  Hoping that something happens to my family very soon is a pretty heartless thing to say when you don't even know a person.  I'm commenting on a deputy and a lady breaking the law (twice).  Wow, wishing personal harm to my family...You just took this a little to far

well you know how violence and threats are the first refuge of the uneducated :)

First of all, the officer should be fired - point blank.  Mistakes are expected because we are all human, but this was BLATANT abuse of authority - not a mistake.  If you are going to do something that may get you in trouble with your employer - turn off the in-car camera, genius!! (sad to say...but these are our tax dollars at work).

Second of all, this situation pisses me off and reminds me of a similar situation that I had in 2004.  Here is the synopsis: I was arrested and charged for something absolutely ridiculous, which the cop tried to categorize as a felony.  What did I do wrong? I was speeding - that's it.  Since when did speeding become a felony (especially if you do not cause an accident, or kill anyone?)  I bonded out of jail three hours later, proceeded to search Tampa for the vehicle that I was driving (which was not mine and had been impounded), ended up hiring an attorney, doing community service and eventually having the charges dropped.  The process of having my records expunged is another ridiculous process, all of which could have been avoided if he had just given me a speeding ticket.  That would have been the appropriate course of action.  When I explained my reason for speeding (which was understandable, but certainly not as drastic as hers) the cop's response was simply "You won't make it to your destination, because you're going to jail."  Here's my problem with this: The cop over reacted because he mistakenly "assumed" that I was trying to get away, so why was the burden on me to spend a great deal of time and resources fixing his mistake and clearing my name, without ever being reimbursed for the value of that lost time? (There is something to be said about "assuming" - once again, a prime example of our tax dollars at work!)

I think that the officers in Hillsborough County watch too many episodes of COPS (so I agree with you on that).  I also feel that they take their jobs a bit too seriously at times (as evidenced by my incident and hers) causing them to over-react at times when it is not warranted.

Third of all, you are absolutely right!  We the taxpayers DO pay for their services, the basic foundation of which is to "protect and serve."  If this is the level of service we receive for our money, it's not surprising that you feel we are all in trouble. We are!!  Furthermore, I think we're entitled to a refund...LOL

I would not be surprised if the officer has been suspended with pay, as that seems to be the common "slap on the wrist" for cops these days (once again....our tax dollars at work!).  I don't buy into the statement about him being a good cop, because a good cop would have used sound decision-making.  He would not have had an intellectual interlude at the wrong time.

Just my two cents,

Nicole

make this about yourself....typical...your not part of this story

 

btw i belive speeding is a felony when its 100mph+ or 30 mph over a posted limit.  I do not think the cameras can be turned off in the cars either they are there for the officers and our protection

A person commits a 2nd Degree Felony if they attempt to elude a law enforcement officer who is operating a marked patrol vehicle with siren and lights activated and the person drives either (1) at a high speed or (2) "in any manner which demonstrates a wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property...." The sanctions for this offense are imprisonment for not more than 15 years, a fine of not more than $10,000 and license revocation for not more than 1 year. §§316.1935(3) & (5), 775.082(3)(c) and 775.083(1)(b)

 

316.192  Reckless driving.--

(1)(a)  Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.

(b)  Fleeing a law enforcement officer in a motor vehicle is reckless driving per se.

 

316.072  Obedience to and effect of traffic laws.--

3)  OBEDIENCE TO POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS.--It is unlawful and a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083, for any person willfully to fail or refuse to comply with any lawful order or direction of any law enforcement officer, traffic crash investigation officer as described in s. 316.640, traffic infraction enforcement officer as described in s. 316.640, or member of the fire department at the scene of a fire, rescue operation, or other emergency.

 

 

Glad to see action taken place, the Deputy derserves more than a suspension--more and more officers take advantage of the power of the badge.

 

THIS REALLY PROVES THE FACT, THAT YOU ARE EITHER A COP, OR A LAWER, ONE OF THE SAME.  WE HAVE A COP IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHOM THINKS HE OWNS OUR WHOLE STREET. HE IS A BULLY.

I dont see why you would be concered with a person in either of those professions unless you are a criminal.  Are you a criminal with something to hide?  Its obvious you are insecure about something, might I suggest seeking some counseling?
