Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

I don't know where everyone gets that simply "speeding" isn't criminal or arrestable. He wasn't just speeding but fleeing as well as driving in an unsafe manner with negligence. In MANY States driving in an unsafe manner with excessive speed and in disregard for public safety is in FACT criminal and the alleged is to be arrested then booked and released or whatever that State does for processing. The fact that he's LEO doesn't give him a pass but more so a reason as he should know better. Seriously 120mph? At that speed any error would be lethal to both him and whoever he hits. All LE should be pissed as idiots like him give a bad impression on others and create negative stereotypes.

Washington RCW 46.61.500

FL Section 3.16.192
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

Ive always heard Florida and Virginia are places not to speed even for LE. Both of them are idiots. He is a fool for going that fast not responding to a job and her with holding him at gunpoint and the arrest.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

How do jurisdictional lines and coverage areas in FL work? I know every state is different.
My point is I wonder if the trooper has ever considered the "what-if" scenereo, that she is out gunned and low on ammo. And non-trooper law enforcement officers may be the only ones whom arrive and stand shoulder to shoulder with her in a gun fight?
On that note, I'm gonna go watch Super Troopers.

Don't kid yourself.

If there was actually "equal treatment" to that of any other citizen, the arrestee would have walked (or crawled) away with some bruises and possibly more from "resisting arrest", would have had his licence suspended for years, and would be charged with felony evasion among several other things and be doing many years behind bars.

As it stands, the cop arrested got very gently and politely cuffed and kindly escorted to the back of the car, no backup were involved, he still has his license and is only being charged with a misdemeanor traffic violation.

There was no "equal treatment" here at all, other than him getting pulled over initially, or attempted to before he initated a dangerous high speed chase in excess of 120 MPH.

FHP are Florida Highway Patrol, they have Statewide jurisdiction, they are part of the DHSMV, Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle, their primary job is to enforce trafic laws, this took place at approximately 7 PM,on a divided Highway, looked like the Florida Turnpike to me.

Typically Troopers are out there by themselves with not much for back up, and their radios do not connect to other agencies, so they are pretty much out there by themselves.

If dispatch did call for back up for her, it would be pretty shitty of anoither agency not to back her up because she did her job, but Miami is a pretty shitty place anyway, I am glad I am not working there anymore.

BTW a friend of mine who is a FHP Trooper and he said this is the second Police Officer she wrote a ticket for speeding, this guy should have went to jail for Fleeing and Eluding.

He got special treatment because he is a Police officer, it is called Professional Courtesy.

Had it been anyone else they would have been arrested on multiple felony charges.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

If the Police car had been stolen she would have known about it before she ever had a visual .There would have been an alert for a stolen Miami Police car. She could have found out within seconds if she was concerned that the car was stolen by calling in the vehicle info. She is a liar...at the end of the tape she says we see this Miami Police car speeding all the time but we could never catch it.

I guess this Miami Police car has been stolen for some time now.

She is just a frustrated bitch who is pissed off that she was born without a penis and for some reason has a hardon for this Miami cop who is speeding on HER HIGHWAY.

They were both stupid and wreckless for stopping in the left lane.

Really?
So the very instant a police car is stolen an alert goes out automatically? Whether the driver assigned officer is able or aware of the theft or not?
Pretty cool technology.
Tell me how it works.

The Police car could have been stolen and not reported.

Yes luckily it was a wreckless car chase, the idiot Miami police Officer is the one who pulled over to the left lane.

He drove in a reckless manner, it is a good thing the FHP Trooper was doing her job and protecting the public from the idiot Miami Police officer whio was driving like a maniac.

You sound like a guy who is pissed off, could it be because you have SPS?

What I'm getting at is that a metro police car whizzed by her at 120 on the Interstate, but she had not heard any kind of alert.

So is it not conceivable that the car was just stolen a few minutes earlier, and that there may have been a policeman lying somewhere unable to report his cruiser stolen?

Is it also impossible to assume that such a situation could be extremely dangerous to anyone coming in contact with such?

You are assuming a police officer is going to know where his car is at all times, it could have been stolen from his house while he was sleeping, or from a garage, or a parking lot, or do the Police have some super secret powers to know where their car is at all times?

has a police car ever been stolen?

Was it reported immediately?

Here is a report about one that wasn't reported the minute it was stolen, BTW it had an AR15 in it.

http://www.tremcopoliceproducts.com/westminsterco.html

Here is one that was stolen from the police parking lot, not sure how long it took for them to realize it was gone, it had a weapon in it too.

http://www.tremcopoliceproducts.com/hemetca.html

here is a whole list of police cars stolen, sems to me the police would do a better job of not allwoing their vehicle's and weapons to get stolen.

http://www.tremcopoliceproducts.com/articlesdet.htm

It is not outside the realm of possibility that she actually thought the police car was stolen, even if she didn't, I don't blame her for pulling the guy over and getting him out of the car the way she did.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

Of course it is possible the car could have been stolen minutes earlier.

She stated on the tape that she has seen this same Miami Police car numerous times in the past speeding and that she could never catch it.

She did ID this car from previous sightings so she new damn well this car was not stolen.

Consider that this is not black & white - there can be improper conduct on both ends of the equation here at the same time, and I argue there was.

It was NOT handled properly on her end. <span style="font-weight: bold">She should have held him at the scene, called MDPD supervisors and her own supervisor </span>and let them handle it through official channels with an investigation.

He would take a serious hit for this internally. There is no defense to it.

Sticking a gun in his face and handcuffing him was dangerous and foolhardy. She acted purely out of anger. Listen to her voice, and the remarks she made. It is clear she no longer believed the vehicle stolen when she saw him in it. She was pissed off because he was speeding and didn't stop when she wanted him to.

Suppose he actually was in the performance of his duties and gets a gun stuck in his face? What's a justifiable response?

Those defending the gunplay are doing so based on whose ox is being gored. You want to see him get his medicine, but it's a medicine you aren't willing to take yourself.

......Unless you want police officers legitimately able to stick a gun in <span style="font-weight: bold">your</span> face for traffic violations. Think about the conduct you are defending being enacted against YOU.

If you watch the end of the video, there is another FHP Trooper there and it looks like the Miami police officer was released, so it could be that she did call her supervisor and they decided to give theasshat Miami cop a break.

Anyone else would not have gotten special treatment like he did.

Most Police Cars in the same Dept. look the same.

Glad she did her job, Hopefully the Miami police Officer will lose his job.

Thank God no one expects your powers of observation to be accurate. She states several MPD cars have been seen speeding, never this particular car.

You are reading a lot more into this than what actually happened in the video.

The Miami police officer wasn't even in Miami, he was in Hollywood, which is in Broward County.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/10/30/2479870/miami-mayor-on-speeding-officer.html

I doubt this is over since bothe the FHP and the Miami Police Department are investigating this, maybe the idiot Miami Officer will lose his job or at least his take home car, crap like this could cause all of the Miami Police officers who live outside of the city limits to lose the priveledgeof taking their cars home.

The Miami Police officer was given courtesy, he wasn't arrested and charged with a Felony of Fleeing and Eluding like he should have been, he wasn't charged with speeding either, because if he was, he would have had an automatic court date and a trip to jail for going at least 50 MPH over the speed limit, only parts of the Florida Turnpike are 70 MPH, that area may only have a 55-60 MPH Speed Limit.

he clearly broke many laws and was given a break that had he not been a police officer he wouldn't have gotten.

He was only given a ticket for reckless driving, that is a break.

I'm guilty of speeding in my pov, some people may question my speed in my cruiser. In the state of IN, LE usually have a professional courtesy for LEOs.

I would have contacted Miami to see if they were running on a silent run. If not, I would have ask for dispatch to patch me through to that officer (which most states can do) and had him stop to discuss his actions. At this point, I would decide if supervisors should be involved on both ends.

This may not be the perfect solution, but is there one?

Why should teh Miami Police officer be given so much courtesy?

1 he is exceeding the speed limit by at least 50 MPH and weaving in and out of traffic.

2 he is oustide of his jurisdiction, he is not even in the same county, let alone same city, he is a Miami Police officer in Broward County in the City of Hollywood.

3 you are making a lot of assumptions about the capabilities of the radio and dispatch system.

This guy was given Professional courtesy, that is why he wasn't arrested for fleeing and eluding and given a speeding ticket.

Yes for the 1st offense, I also think it is a trip to jail and a mandatory court appearance.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

I was not condoning his actions, as for being out of his jurisdiction, we have been dispatched to other counties for back-up and were ask to run silent, but expedite our run.

Do to Homeland Security, I believe all states should have the ability to contact other LEOs and patch us through to other counties and states.

I do agree he was given more than deserved, but my reply was regarding what I would have done. As stated, "not perfect".

This site is for discussion and not arguments, I will not get into a pissing match or name calling over this. I hope I've not offended you.

What is the tactical or functional advantage of running silent at 120 on a six lane, miles from the destination? Seriously. Help me to understand.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

Good catch! I've corrected that, I can't have that happen too often.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

None, most departmental SOP's state Code 3 is to be 10 miles over the posted speed limit as long as safe conditions exist.

Unfortunately the Trooper was very unprofessional. There is no reason to brow beat the officer, just contact MPD IA, cite him and turn him over for disciplinary action. An internal disciplinary action plus tickets, is worse than a civilian would get. If it had been a civilian, then cuff him and transport, brow beating is about as pointless as it gets.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

tucker301

The run is at the descretion of the officer. Most agencies have SOPs that should cover issues of emergency runs and runs under normal circumstances. This is a subjective issue not to be resolved by you or I.
 
Re: Florida Trooper Arrests Miami Cop for Speeding

Here are the charges I'd give him.

1. Excessive speed in excess of 100mph is an automatic arrest in Florida, plus fines.
2. Evading
3. No use of turn indicators, at least 3 times.
4. Passing on the right.
5. Failure to maintain a safe operating distance for speed.
6. Seat belt? Florida state law.
7. Careless driving.

Given the circumstances, the FHP officer did just fine.

"Their are some very high end people" = Fuck the rest of you!

This dumbass isn't fit to be an LEO, then again Miami's standards aren't that high!
