many of us probably have been but were lucky enough to be noticed in time to avoid a collision and don't even know it.

and i have to wonder, if this law professional felt comfortable enough to use this technology on a road he was obviously familiar with on that fateful day, how often
does he or any like officer perform the same action? it wasn't his first time interacting with the onboard computer while driving on a road without perfect sightlines.
likewise doubtful that he's the only one with these habits/behaviors. really scary and a surprise that more of us haven't been hit by law enforcement.
i also have to wonder if the outcome would have been the same if he had hit a jogger mom pushing a sporting 3-wheel stroller in the same lane and killed either child or mother.

Thank you, Alice. I suggest that anyone who writes to the links Alice posted refer to the link I posted earlier, and repeat here; https://www.scribd.com/doc/237940150/...st-Milton-Olin.
When expressing our outrage we should cite this document for it's egregious omissions and spin. As an example, in the first two paragraphs under "Factual Analysis", it is stated that officer Wood reported "Code 4" (call complete-returning to patrol) before leaving the school. The text he was responding to was from a fellow officer; "You C4 bro?".
Excuse me? He said he was, and those who needed to know, knew it. Was he responding to an official inquiry? Was it really work related? "Bro?!?!?"
There are many more things wrong with this document, and we need to let these people know that.
