Then it he would be asked how he let it get so far. What he should have done imo is stop the guy as soon as the guy started getting in the car. I can assure you here in Bama that car would have never been started. As soon as he reached and grabbed the door the cop would have stopped him.

IMO as soon as the car started the officer should have broke the window in and grabbed that douchebag.

Let me ask you guys this....... How was the officer supposed to stop that guy?

Maybe there should have been different things done. But bottom line is I see no wrong doing by the cops here.

Again, if that car ends up on the news in a high speed chase the officer would be held accountable in some capacity.

I think you are right about Bama Randy. Everything in that car including the seats would have been on the sidewalk for a search as well. Try to run over a cop in the south and they will be looking for drugs. Barbie Blondie isn't just going to drive it away like that. The car would probably been impounded.
