Rider down/dead...N.P.R.
St. Pete PD sent me letter saying they were no longer considering me (for whatever reason), and HCSO called me right before I came out to Iraq...I had to refuse the offer, but I think I told them maybe later...
whatever happened to Cecil's post after this about his buddy being the FHP guy who responded and how it was the kid's fault and the old lady was mindiing her own business? Oh, wait a minute. It was taken down after FHP internal affairs investigated his buddy. What's that ? The buddy was reprimanded in writing? The old lady was ticketed for violation of right of way? Yes, incredible as it seems the trooper did say what his report would say and violated FHP policy in doing so. Yes, this report was rewriiten three times and the rider was cleared of any wrongdoing. In fact, the off duty trooper who allegedly withnessed everything couldnt tell the same story twice.
This is going to be quite a story when it appears as a follow up to the original in the paper very soon. Now since I am buddies with someone too, I will tell you the trooper didnt ticket the old lady because he told his sgt it would be like ticketing his grandma. Oh yes, sarge was written up too. Seems the trooper also said the kid was riding without a license, not true. Letter of apology written to family from secretary of highway safety and motor vehicles. Oh, all that BS about two to three time the speed limit? How about physics showing max speed possible was 47? Cecil's entire post was BS but IT WAS the essence of the traffic homicide report as originally written.
His buddy's report was BS. Two write ups for the corporal, one for the sgt and one for their commander. Remember kids, don't believe everything you read, even when it is by someone who is a legend in their own mind. And for God's sake never ever accept an FHP report at face value. They are only cops because they couldnt qualify for a better job.

You know how many other LEO's make bad decisions or mistakes?
Do you really know all the facts in the case? I don't... I'm sure you don't eitheir. One thing you have to understand accidents do happen. If the person that causes a fatal crash doesn't mean they go to jail unless there being reckless or meant to cause the crash. Now imagine you, by some chance made a turn in front of another vehicle and caused a fatal crash. Now do you think you should go to jail.... I didn't think so...
I do agree she should have been written a citation.
The quote you made is really an educated one...
i did. so i dont fail.
