He got off light. They could have poped him with fleeing and attempting to allude arrest for running. Live and learn from his mistake and don't be a Jackass.

Hate to break it to ya billy badass..short of you being a fellow cop...you could not have prevented him from "getting away with it", he was in the wrong, and he got burned.

Just so you know EVERYONE who gets arrested in Hillsborough County gets processed at Orient. "max" security, I like it!
Did he see Hannibel Lecter while he was there?
Oh and if it was really just an accident then why did they plead no contest? What, did he get one of those $500 lawyers?

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

This is technically the equivalent of accidentally elbowing a cop in the face while trying to run from the police.
It pretty much sounds like he got what he legally deserved.
I'm with Taylor on the subject of haning around. At both the spot in Daytona Beach and my few times at gandy I just hang around till all the young dumbasses have have scrambled to calmly leave.
Most times all the cops are there to do is disperse the onlookers, not arrest everyone. It also helps to be a resonsible adult with a nice car.
If you go running like a dumbass, or even worse, hitting a cop while running like a dumbass, I can see why a cop found your friend worthy of a criminal charge.
