Cops hit parked car, then arrest & charge passenger to cover it up

Cops hit parked car,
...then arrest & charge passenger in parked car to cover it up


Two Brooklyn cops sideswiped a parked SUV, then arrested a man sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle, accusing him of damaging their car, a suit charges.

And the officers would have gotten away with their lie — had the whole bizarre drama not been caught by a security camera.

at the VERY least, these 2 cops should be fired and face equal jail time as the accused man would have faced.

They looked for cameras before arresting him.  Total crap.  Indefensible.

Exactly. Once you break the law as a cop, you should immediately be fired and treated as a criminal.

This is why cops hate being video taped.

It will be determined that they violated 'policy' because their training was substandard.  They'll get a slap on the wrist and a pay raise.

I believe there is a law that states any police officer who knowingly submits false evidence, or knowingly levees false charges against an individual or individuals is subject to the same penalties demanded for the charges they laid. I'd love to see those pigs do a stint at Riker's with the entire population there knowing what they're in for.

Yeah - wjat is written in the books does not matter

[Jack T. Cross]

Oh, I'm sure the two officers had been conducting themselves properly throughout their careers, right up until this miscommunication.

They released the pics of the 2 officers.

I wish these pigs would get life sentence.

Both sides were likely lying. The 350 lb guy was not in the passenger seat. The video cuts off before you can state if the cop every approaches the drivers door or not to see the keys. The "looking for survellience cameras" is from the subjects opinion and not verified. So the subject probably drove there and was parked. I have no idea what the cops said to him, hopefully their vehicle is equipped with cameras and audio and that can be brought forward. But the fact they charged him with destruction of city property is a clear indication they lied as they were going the wrong way and hit the parked vehicle. Fire them and throw whatever law can be thrown at them.

You can speculate all you want about what this victim of police abuse of authority may have done, ...but what matters are the facts demonstrated and preserved by videotape. And those facts demonstrated and prove the cops lied. They hit a legally parked car, then abused their authority by arresting an innocent man and charging him with damage to city property.

uh..the video tape shows the man lied and the police lied if we are basing our entire conclusion on what was shown on the video tape. Granted, cops lying is significanly worse than a guy lying about operating a vehicle with an invalid license. I think there a LOT is speculation in the article,, did that bother you as well?

Where are you making that up from?  From the video, you can't see inside the car.  And the DA dropped all charges indicating they have no case.

And, you can see the guy closes the door when he gets out.  But the cop claimed it was open in his report.


By the way, nice back-tracking by your Chief on the jaywalking shit, lol.  It was actually pretty funny.

She lives by speculation based on assumption, fear, hate, and stupidity.

We are all speculating on the video. My speculation is the man is lying. No way that dude is climbing over the console to get out on the driver side. No need to. The guy gets out and shuts the door but then later goes back and opens it. Video stops so we don't know if the officer walked up to the driver door or not, tap danced on the hood, or did a mime impression. Why did the video stop there?

What back tracking are you talking about? I thought he stood firm on the jaywalking issue. Apologized for throwing dirt at other departments for sexual assault comment. Maybe I missed it
