Cops get OWNED on Springvale Road Last Night!!!

[Horus]

Last night I was driving to the weekly exclusive meet, and as Im heading there along Springvale road, I notice a lot of cop lights flashing up ahead, so my first thought is booze bus/defect station. As I approach it, it turns out that all traffice is being diverted off Springvale road. So then I get to the exclusive meet, and the guys tell me a divvy van had a smash with an X5. At this stage, its hard to say who was at fault, but Im betting that the cop was.

Here are the pics:

Must have been doing double the speed limit trying to catch someone doing 3km/h over the limit.

According to police, any driver at fault of an accident should get charged with negligent driving or whatever it is.. wonder if the coppa will get charged if he was at fault.

[Guest INASNT]

How many cops were involved in high speed chases that caused deaths? None of the cops have been charged.

[dAVE]

I was taking the assumption he wasn't in an 'emergency' situation....

anyway, im all for high speed chases.. if my car was stolen and they just let the ****ers get away i would be pissed.

[Guest INASNT]

I am for the chasers also, but not if the little **** that steals it totals the car.

Havent they been doing high speed chases in v6 dippi wagons and exectives??

if a member of police is found at fault they are charged the same as a normal citizen, their driving priviledges on the force are reduced and also they have to attend a course of safe driving organised by the police acadamey. He also gets reams as to why he got himself in that situation in the first place.

You guys are the biggest bunch of cop bashers around, you don't even know if it was his/her fault.

Its the persona they create everyday on the roads that makes us that way.

gold mate gold!

what he wasn't a TMU or a traffic police, what if he had been rushing to the scene of domestic violence to stop an drunken husband beating his wife. What if the copper was fatally wounded in that accident and left a family with kids without a dad.

At the end of the day that person is still a human being, and deserves some respect for that, don't judge a person by their career choice. If it wasn't a cop you wouldn't be cheering that he wrote the car off.

And I don't see you being overly concerned for the other driver in the accident.

come on, we always like to see those in authority or power fall down.. its what Australian is all about!

bond, scasey, rivkin.. the list goes on!

[Guest INASNT]

Horus should of slapped a canary on the cop car for driving with a broken headlight!

[funkymonkey]

yeah i guess, but they were celebs n shit... like if tomorrow a huge metal pipe fell on denham's head while at work (a la simpsons style) you wouldn't hear me cheering about it.

Then again it is a tad amusing... the cop car being peeled up... and metal pipes falling on denham's head.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Hope they are both okay...i wonder who's fault it was...personally i rekon it was the x5's fault but it could of been the cops fault as well but they usally take abit car when crossing intersections etc.

PHYSCO style?

I need a shower curtain and a can or red paint to reinact homer on that one.

[predator]

yer.. i've been trying to organise the pipework for that, but nobody wants to take the fall

hehe

[Mr. Oizo]

isnt it like obvious the Cop is at fault

whoever drives into the side of the car is at fault, coz its not as if the other car can drive horizontally into the front of the other car..

^^if im wrong.. feel free to correct me

[Guest INASNT]

In the eyes on the vic police they are never wrong.

Remember they are still adamant that their speed camera save lives and are not their for revenue raising!!

[predator]

It looks pretty much RHS cop into LHS X5 or vice versa, which maybe spun the back around a little to hit the back a little. Could be either sides fault. .anyhow, again - we don' t know the full circumstances so stupid to comment too much.

[Jamezilla]

Depends how late the X5 was for picking the kids up from soccer practice...
