I just got back home from being harassed by some kid FHP officer who decided to have a power trip on me. I was driving in traffic, there was a fender bender up ahead, several cars were in the median along with several people including an FHP officer, I was in the left hand lane, there was a turning lane to my left and the median to the left of the turning lane, I must have been 12 - 16 feet from the people, as I drove by we were slowing down for the accident, I was downshifting and tapped my throttle as I went by... Well the next thing I know the cop on the scene decides to chase me down the street, he pulls me over, puts his hand on his gun.. orders me out of my Viper, has me spread out on my hood while he's patting me down, tells me he's going to arrest me for criminal wreckless driving as he was "In fear for his life." I tell him ********, I just tapped my throttle, I never did anything wreckless... he said well its my word against yours and I was in fear of my life. I responded, well I'm going back to the accident scene to gather names of people, they are witnesses to all of this and I'm sure they will make statements backing up my story as you're making this BS up, he responds to me that I will be arrested if I drive to his accident scene.. I couldn't believe this guy! Anyway the cop goes to his car, comes back, says to me "ok, I see you have a clean record.. I'm letting you off easy with careless driving." then goes on to tell me that if I show up in court he will tell the judge he was in fear for his life and things will be much worse than a $115.00 ticket.
After all of this I drove to the FHP headquarters where I met with the Trooers boss (SGT), at first the SGT was being an [******] but upon hearing my story he changed his demenor and was more helpful, the SGT called the trooper on the phone, he told the trooper to get everyones phone number at the crash scene as he wants to question them tomorrow on my incident, I was told the officer will get a letter of counseling if he finds the officer mishandled the situation.. but I'm stuck with the ticket until I go to court. After leaving the FHP office I drove back to the accident scene, bought a disposable camera and took pictures of everything, 2 of the wrecked cars were still there at the scene, you can clearly see I was 15 feet or more from the median, plus you can see the median was so high it would have wiped out the front end of my Viper had I hit it, this was total BS. I hate cops that lie.
