Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches W. Great Lakes Crown Victoria vs. Chevy Lumina(long story)

Some of you who know me know that I drive a ****box Aerostar. However, yesterday evening I decided to ask my mom if I could borrow her Chevy Lumina to go work out at Balley's! I really didn't feel like driving the Aerostar because she needed a break from racing! So anyway back to what happened. I was coming off the exit ramp by the Allstate Arena at Lee Street and Higgins. I was doing about 35 through the turn and came up to the light which was green. The Cook County Sheriff who was driving by me the whole way up there immediatly slams on his brakes to the left of me and a Des Plaines Police Officer comes flying through the intersection without Lights or Sirens and slams into my mom's Lumina. I really ****ing hate police officers who don't slow down when they are coming through the intersection. I even had my window down because it was such a good day for me. Anyway at the last second I see him a put the brake to the floor. Too late!! I turn right to avoid the officer and BAMM!! We hit and he starts looking all crazy at me like it's my fault for not stoppping. And for those of you who know me know that I will stop anyday of the week for a police officer going to a call or chasing someone because I know the dangers of driving around cars and intersections. So he radios in his accident that he just caused and then seems to go into shock on me. Two minutes later there are 8 sqaud cars and one abulance! WTF!! I sit in my car as instructed by the officer in the cook county car and proceed to call everyone. The officer in the county car takes my info(once again not asking if I'm okay) and gives it to another Des Plaines police officer. I was like okay Phil relax it wasn't your fault. They finally ask me to sign papers saying that I refused medical treatment and I tell the paramedic that they have to offer medical treatment in order for me to refuse. So he offers and I tell him a 700.00 dollar abulance ride would only make my day worse. I finally am allowed to move me car(one hour later) and I am asked to sit in the squad car while they give me paperwork. Then the unthinkable happens! The officer in the car doing the reports puts me as the striking vehicle and tells me that everything wass an accident and that my visor was probally obscured(sp?) by the sheriff's car. I said the I agreed with him that the sheriff's car was in the way, however I thought that police officers are supposed to slow down or at least have a siren or light on. He said I cannot give you the report right know(tonight) becuase I need the other officers information! I said I need something. I wrote every damn licsence plate and name that I had because I am not getting ****ed over by some cop. I had to go back today with my mom to get the completed report and the report still said I was the striking vehicle. Am I ****ed over or what? Totally killed my day! But, I wasn't as hurt as the officer and I know that he's okay now! My mom starting *****ing that the report was incorrect, but I will have to let the courts figure that out if they don't pay for the damage!
Morale of the story: Be safe and expect the unexpected!!!!
Have a safe weekend guys!

damn that sux. i would fight this to the end. Im glad that your ok, cops are *******s, and it his fault if he had no light or sirens on. hope everything works out.

good luck man, i hope everything works out ok. as long as you have witnesses saying they saw that one cop fly through the intersectin w/o lights or sirens then you should be all good. id go and get a written witness account from that cop saying it wasnt your fault and take that to court

damn man it is good to hear that you are ok. if i were you i would take the words of some very intelligent people and, "**** the police, **** **** **** the police." NWA c.1990

Ouch, good to hear you're okay. I know the feeling after an accident, it's one you hope to never experience again.

People say "**** the police", but then if your car gets stolen or your family gets robbed, who are you going to call? And who was at Ground Zero working thier butts off saving people?

I agree that the cop should not be flying though a red light without warning, but lumping all cops into the same pile is wrong.

Thanks for your support guys. You all hav to remember one thing, there are good cops and there are bad cops. They are only bad when they pull you over! Police Rule!!

ummmmm, it was a joke. you know, ha ha? get with it. gezzzzzus, oh wait i just used the lords name in vain. now who can i pray to when my car gets stolen, or my family gets robbed? :p

Well said Tom. But at some point we all say 'damn police' or something like that.

hey whos cookin' the rice? i smell rice burning. hahahahaaaa
