Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Was this guy violating the exotic car code of conduct?

Haha...Adam, let it out!

Great summary and I'll add that even if the car did actually run over his foot, it really wouldn't have hurt much.

I had a heavy (2841 lbs) race car run over my foot in driving shoes at walking pace and it didn't feel very painful.

Subject: Re: [Ferrari] Was this guy violating the exotic car code of conduct?

So the cop puts his foot under the front tire after the vehicle is moving and uses this lie as the excuse to assault the person in the car.  Why can't the cop just write up the ticket and add the offense of leaving and disobeying the instructions to wait?  Is there even a law that empowers the cop to compel the driver to wait for the paperwork?  Is there a law that empowers the cop to escalate a parking ticket into a violent assault?  

The dim wit kid driving the status symbol does not have my sympathy -- he was wrong to park illegally, wrong to not behave with simple courtesy and he should have just waited politely to take the ticket and thank the cop for doing a useful job of enforcing the law.  But kids have no brains -- biologically they don't have a fully developed prefrontal cortex (reasoning, consequences, accountability) until the human body is 22 to 25 years old.  And he's a young male showing off to a female.  Another recipe for disaster when mixed with the catalyst of a car ... : )

It's common knowledge that US police are violent thugs ready to escalate any confrontation to life and death.  So the kid was risking his life or at least a face full of mace and a taser to the nuts.  Now he faces months of time wasted in his defense, in avoiding a felony conviction, in fighting the establishment that protects the police from their own criminality.  What's the point?

The real tragedy here is the cop with the predilection to create confrontation, to force the issue, to swing into violent assault -- the situation is patently a matter of an ass clown kid with a rich family, does the cop really "protect and serve" by assaulting this kid over a parking ticket?

I saw this a day or two ago.. I think the guy is just a self-centered ass.  He probably would have done the same thing no matter what car he was driving, he obviously tried to drive away knowing the cop was there giving him a ticket.
