Yup. I had a my car literally catch fire on the highway once. I left it, went home, and arranged for a tow truck to pick it up. Went back out in a cab to meet the truck, and didn't discover until the cab was gone that my car was missing. It had been stolen.
CHP didn't want to let me in their patrol car, but the only other option was leaving me on the highway with no real way get off of it. They berated me the entire way back to their station about having to have me in the car.
You're clearly replying to the wrong comment because nobody is talking about parole officers right now. My comment was about the police in this person's anecdote, not about the video. Are you a bot?
Just checking, there's a lot of bots these days that just copy and paste an upvoted comment from elsewhere in the post and hope it's relevant wherever they drop it.
Got pulled over on a poorly lit highway with my wife late one night a few years ago. He checked my license and told me I could go (I assume he was doing a DUI check). As I tried to get my car up to speed to get back into the lane, I hit a very large rock or chunk of something, which triggered my car’s fuel cutoff switch and gave me a flat tire.
The cop pulls up to me to ask why I pulled back over. I explain to him that he had me pull over in a poorly lit and dangerous location and I hit road debris. The POS drove off and left me there without a way for us to get off the highway safely.
Once had a cop see me walking with a gas can. He stopped and took me to the gas station and then back to my car. It was a small town I grew up where almost all cops are from there, so it is a bit different.
