To the cop who thinks its funny!

[E5RANGER375]

just wanted to vent about a IMPD cop who backed out in front of my wife today and made her slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. then he thought it was funny while talking on his phone. she had the presence of mind to get his car number and license plate number. we will be filing a formal complaint. LEARN TO DRIVE JACKASS! & get an ear bud! I hope its no one on here! This happened on the edge of Beech Grove.
backing out of a residence with a clear line of sight unless your talking on a damn phone while you drive!

car color grey. she got a picture too.

if any local LEO's wanna know the car number and plate number I have it, PM me. i dont see a point posting it here.

thanks! I have tought her well, and she is no dummy especially when it comes to dealing with cops. she worked around enough of them before to know the game. the part that really ticks me off is he thought it was funny and laughed while he was talking on the phone too. how the heck do you properly back out into traffic while talking on your phone?? it was a residence he was backing out of on the edge of beech grove.

Yeah, I can see if he wasn't on his phone or laughing it wouldn't have been so big of a deal. I'm sure if he would have stopped and apologized instead of laughing, your wife may have not even been inclined to file a complaint.

For every action, there is a reaction.

yeah, if he wasnt on the phone or laughing then no she wouldnt. but with those 2 things. its a given in my opinion. if nothing else it will be in his file in case he kills anyone down the road.

thanks. me too. thats the biggest thing is no one was hurt, and hopefully filing a complaint will keep it from happening again but I wont hold my breath, but at least it will be permanent record.

In my experience, cops go where they want, when they want, and its your responsibility to avoid them.
Always watch out for police cars.
Always expect them to pull out, run the red light, cross the center line, or otherwise invade your space.
Always give them plenty of room.
Never expect a police car to use turn signals. If they do, fine; just don't expect it.
Never stay in proximity of a police car. Back off, turn a corner, pull into a parking lot, anything. Just stay away from them and avoid drawing attention to yourself as you do so.

Pulling into a parking lot as soon as a cop gets behind you is a pretty good way of drawing attention to yourself. Especially if you were in the left lane and make that hard right once they pull out. Doing that is actually improper lane usage and it's going to make the cop wonder "Why doesn't he want to be buy me". Most cops would be willing to wager that most people that try to avoid them are criminals.....

So are you telling all of the interwebz that you are a danger to yourself and others on the road or that you would intentionally ram the cop?

good for your wife!

im less of a threat than some old person
if a person was unable to stop it would have been the cops fault anyways.

hell' a teenager could have accidently hit the gas and killed themselves or the cop. i hate ALL people who talk on or play with their phones and drive.

Age ain't nothin but a number, it's all about how you feel.

But, yeah... it would have been the cops fault. If he was exiting a residential driveway onto a thoroughfare, he had the responsibility to yield.

I'd say that's pretty good advice that applies to about 70% of any of the drivers on the road.
