    If you’re in a situation like this ; have your insurance/ lawyer request the phone records of the other parties

    This guy is lucky he has everything on tape.

    I’m sure the officer will face all the appropriate discipline. /s

    This is irrelevant to the content of the video, but imma say it anyway: good to see that Loops is already being used to share videos.

    (I know we’re on the fediverse already here so our demographics are gonna be more receptive to using it, but still.)

  • Cop is definitely in the wrong, but I also can’t help but criticize the guy standing in the road. This is precisely why you shouldn’t stand in the road; because drivers like Officer Dumbass here are pretty common.

      They were on a bicycle waiting their turn, not standing in the road. The cop cut the corner and drove into the oncoming lane.

      He wasn’t “standing in the road.” He was stopped, on his bike, at the intersection waiting for his turn. That is not only the correct thing to do, it is required.

      ETA: He was also in his lane, which the cop illegally crossed into making his turn.

      He was on a bike, exactly where he was supposed to be waiting for cross traffic to clear before going.
