Someone mentioned the dash cam thing however in most police vehicles the cams are only activated once they initiate their lights, atleast thats how the ones I have seen have and been told by family in law enforcement so there is a easy way to tell...

Fight it

NJ state trooper killed 2 sisters when he didn't have his lights on. He was found not guilty.

I hope something works out for yah but it looks totalled.
I think he did yield... but the cop took him from behind... ( :rofl: ). It appears the cop was in the other lane trying to get around on the outside and then hit him in the driver's rear.

No full coverage :( no way could I afford it. Insurance company said they couldnt pay anything for me with the coverage I have which sucks! I know for a fact they wasnt chasing a car cause I was going north on that road and hadnt passed a car in forever, turned and started heading back south and then got hit after that. I got a lawyer which said its clearly his fault just dealing with the cops will be a pita. Hopefully I get another or mine fixed atleast!

It will be a LONG fight it will take a while for you to get reimbursed. Was it a young cop or a old cop. Make sure you get reimbursed for lawyer fees, hospital visits, rental car, etc everything

add a new poll selection, buy a new car and fight the case!

hope your car is paid in full or you got a whole new ball of problems coming your way.....always carry full insurance........and question is did you pull out in front of the cop.....if so you are at fault no matter how fast he was going.......good luck man.

paid cash I had save up for it. No, I didnt pull out in front of him. 2 lane road, turned left, he went in other lane and hit me like he was trying to pass or something.

fight it...and see if he had his camera on to prove he was in a chase.

flyerI 07-13-2009 01:51 AM
Were you tuning on to another road? I so it should have been a no passing zone. He madea an illegal maneuver. Looking at your picture I see double lines in the center of the road. Again no passing zone. If his lights are on he may have some right to pass in a no passing zone but without them. I don't think he has a leg to stand on. Were you ticketed for a violation? If so don't pay it and go to court. Talk to your insurance. They may provide legal cousel for you.

Sciko_Scott 07-13-2009 05:27 PM
Sorry to hear that man, yea some officers can be ___ holes! Some... Haha, I am in the academy right now and I have met quite a few of them all ready just from being pulled over before and from meeting them in the academy.

But yea I would scrap it out and sell the good parts that car is gone!
