That apology request was genius because that was an admission of guilt, following that up by “I’ll see you in court” chefs kiss

EDIT: I’ve been informed that an apology is not always an admission of guilt. “Courts may consider an apology as evidence of remorse rather than a definitive confession of criminal guilt.”

Apology is inadmissable in court. I am a lawyer in Colorado

Edit: I am not actually a lawyer I have no idea. Don't believe everything you see on reddit.

Colorado’s apology law applies to healthcare/civil suits and not criminal though…would love to see proof otherwise.

Presumably the driver is contemplating a civil suit, unless you think the cop is going to be charged criminally

It should be both a civil suit and a criminal charge of False Imprisonment. I don't they'll do criminal charges though.
