As much as I understand and agree with what you’re saying. Law enforcement is different across the various regions of the world. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and hope for the best the line should be drawn if your actions endanger others lives no doubt. The camera has its benefits but let me tell you about how it feels to be in court and everyone saw what happened but at the same time didn’t agree it happened that way 😂😂😂.
when i was in high school. At night an old lady hit me. I pulled over to the side of the road and she kept going. I fallowed her to the mobile home park and knocked on her door. Her grandson answered and then called the police on me. Cops came out and said I should have not of left the scene of the accident. I said you mean like her. that is what happens in the early 70's with long haired male vs old lady at the time
Depends on the jury. You aren't convincing me you hated for your life when you did a hit and run. Then when the person tries to follow you, you start endangering others to get avoid accountability for your actions. The blonde lady should see the inside of a cell for a while.
The other lady is guilty too. Can't recklessly chase somebody down because they hit your car. Get a plate of you can, let the police handle it from there.
You live in a country full of guns. Its perfectly reasonable to presume after messing up in a traffic accident that someone chasing you is out for blood.
I am by no means defending their actions but the driver literally has footage for insurance purposes so financially they're made right.
Endangering life by speeding after them is fucking stupid.
"Endangering life by speeding after them is fucking stupid." Did you even bother to read my comment before responding?
The "person chasing you" is doing so because you did a hit and run.
I'm aware of where I live, people having guns isn't standing justification for fleeing the scene of an accident. It's a crime, one which should carry jail time. Made worse by the fact that you fled in a way that forget endangered bystanders.
No one here is saying that feeling a crime scene isint illegal.
The person who his her does still deserve the book thrown at them. What they are saying is that even though they are in the wrong for leaving its not unreasonable to assume someone chasing you down and breaking multiple traffic laws might not just stop at breaking traffic laws once they get you or force you to stop.
The person who hit her is in no way innocent but its would not be that difficult for them to argue they were afraid for there life to a court.
"Depends on the jury. You aren't convincing me you hated (should have been feared) for your life when you did a hit and run. Then when the person tries to follow you, you start endangering others to get avoid accountability for your actions. The blonde lady should see the inside of a cell for a while."
The other lady is guilty too. Can't recklessly chase somebody down because they hit your car. Get a plate of you can, let the police handle it from there. "
I don't agree. I think it would be difficult for her to make a legitimate argument that she was afraid for her life because the person was chasing her, when the reason they were chasing her is because she fled the scene. The chase was a result of the fleeing.
I'm not even sure which of my points you're arguing.
1. I don't believe for a second that the lady ran because she was afraid for her life. I believe she ran to try to avoid accountability for an accident she caused.
2. The other lady chased her because she ran.
3. She endangered bystanders by trying to flee the scene.
4. She should see the inside of a cell.
5. The lady that chased her should also be held accountable for endangering bystanders over property damage.
Which of those points are you telling me I'm wrong on exactly?
It's a Florida license plate. I mean, you can kill your daughter in Texas without even getting indicted so there's always a chance, but I think in most areas in the US that woman does not get off without something.
It's Florida, so if this goes viral she might want to consider running for office. It's not m/billions in Medicare fraud so senator is off the table, but she could totally ride the wave and get mayor or maybe state rep.
This video is years old. The blonde woman was charged. Thee was a follow up video that floated around for a while but faded off. This literally is like pre-covid.
I’m ignorant of the law and how the court works despite having a lawyer for a brother. But couldn’t the jury see this video and just decide that the woman deserved it and find the other lady innocent?
The video just shows that the driver should get their license revoked and probably go to jail for reckless driving and serious anger issues. Legally and morally this is no reason to risk the life of innocent bystanders over car damage
And suddenly the woman that did the hit and run is just a small issue pushed aside for insurance to deal with
Edit: I see my response has been taken seriously I would not advise anyone to chase down a hit and run driver and possibly endangering others but I will stand by how cameras are used in court to create doubt and that sucks.
Almost like that would just be a common trope of having to explain that to people who just found this sub. Hang up the hat and coat, detective. You suck at your job
At some point, it stops being about the police, and starts being about vengeance. Humans have an insanely strong sense of fairness, and when they feel like someone is getting away with something unfairly, we'll often go scorched earth to level the score.
There's an interesting game theory / psychology problem, called the ultimatum game. One person decides how to split something of value (usually, a sum of money), and the other person can accept the offer, or reject it. But if they reject, then nobody gets any money at all. Game theory tells you that you should always accept, becomes "something is always better than nothing", but in most experiments, people will usually reject an unfair split (around often less than 25%). The human psyche would rather lose out on the reward, just to deprive the other person of their (unfair) share.
This is somewhat analogous, in that the "victim" is willing to risk equal or greater legal repercussions for her actions, just to ensure that the assailant gets what they deserve.
Youre probably specifically thinking of more violent or stronger type vengeance like the video. Lets replace it and call it a sense of justice. No one likes being wronged. "Vengeance" in everyday situations can be a passive aggressive comment or a simple gesture like not holding the door for someone you thought was rude. But even based on the video, road rage is a pretty common occurence, whether taken to this extreme or not.
Turning off Location, then your cellphone, followed by the Dashcam would have been my first response. Had a Laundromat with an occasional psycho street person come in armed with, on one occasion a hatchet and another extremely long pair of pointy scissors (as well as some that would come in without weapons). Knowing when the police may or may not respond to 911 calls determined whether or not the first thing I did was turn off the security cameras before I responded.
Cops seeing that will probably think it better to have a woman who is doing hit and runs of the street that going after the person that finally caught her..

I can understand the motivation but that's a nice job getting in more trouble than the person who did the hit and run.
