re: Who’s in the wrong? Police cruiser vs. ATV

Just because a cop witnesses a misdemeanor offense, that doesn’t clear him of wrongdoing to stop it. Name an instance where a cop can just cut in front of another oncoming vehicle suddenly if that vehicle is currently guilty of nothing but a simple traffic infraction.

Lets adjust the scenario very slightly. The cop just came around a blind curve (as you can see in the video). Add a 20+ group of kids (school field trip) huddled in the path on the other side of the blind curve. Cop sees speeding ATV seconds away from the curve and seconds away from the group of kids.

The reality is this was a blind curve, there was a speeding ATV, there were several innocent pedestrians/kids seconds away from very likely death or serious injury.

How in the world can you not see the cop made a split second decision, a undeniably CORRECT split second decision.
