The cop didn't mess about did he, he positioned himself so the guy couldn't go anywhere, but yet he still tried to drive away, was only going to be one outcome. Apparently the Ferrari was parked in a hotel valet bay and the hotel had the keys, so seem to have been legitimately parked, still no excuse for driving over the cops foot.

Soooo let me get this right.

The car isn't obstructing traffic and the officer is writing a ticket (fair enough if it shouldn't be there)

The driver naively goes to drive off the car (although they could have easily dealt with him via fining him in the post)

The over zelious officer then stands on the front corner of the car, with his feet under it, knowing he was starting to drive off - low and behold his foot gets run over.

No sane person would deliberately keep their foot there.

So then he rediculously violently removes and restrains the driver and arrests him for 'assaulting a federal officer'.

Seems a lot like entrapment to me.

Your posting moniker is appropriate and your conclusion bizarre.

I just cant get my head around the officer deliberately getting injured just so he can arrest him like that. Either that or the officer is deeply stupid.

It would only have been deliberate if the officer had stepped in front of the car after it had started to move. As is, the driver made the decision to try and drive off...

The ironic vinyl graphics on the police car door made me laugh.

Well, this job doesn't exactly have Mensa membership as a requirement, right?

Stupid that the officer would put his foot in front of a car that is turned on and has a driver at the wheel. Even if the driver shouldn't be moving the car why would you put yourself in harms way?? ....but if the guy had just waited for the ticket non of this would have happened.

He didn't. You don't drive forward when someone is in the way, let alone a cop writing you a ticket whatever the other circumstances are.

Threads like this are such a learning experience.

I've learned

1) that the idiot in the video thinks it is ok to drive off with a copper stood in front of his car
2) that idiots would support the d-ckhead's decision to drive off with a copper stood in front of his car

The more you know...

A bit OTT to me as with most things American. I cringed when he flung the door against the police car though, unnecessary!

The driver tries to be a smart alec and drive off while an officer of the law is writing a ticket. He can't be that stupd to realise that cops operate a zero tolerance policy. It is assault whichever way you look at it, guy deserved his arrest.
