Firestarter 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 What the fuck else could he have been busy with at 2:30 in the morning? Brushing his teeth? Getting a catnap before his morning doughnut? Keeping a crime scene clear, possibly? Was he even in the car? Maybe he was on foot somewhere else? Your assumptions just establish a prejudice against the police and prove nothing. Yeah, because you can easily take a look at a number and read it when it starts moving further away from you. Um... yes, yes you can. If they were practically on her ass most of the time, when they moved away they must have still been pretty close, right? License plates are designed to be legible at a reasonable distance.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 Personally, someone could beat me in the face with a license plate and I couldn't see the number. Maybe I should go get some more glasses...hmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firestarter 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 Because she actually called about 12 hours before she posted it here, so details like that were fresh in her mind. Her fault for leaving that out of her post, I guess. Perhaps your personal relationship with her colours your judgement of the facts. It's nice to see your ego isn't hurt by your trauma of reading a situation somebody else had. I'd call that flaming somebody for the sake of flaming. And you'd be wrong. By the way, why did you bother clicking the link in general chat if you don't like people making a public spectacle of their lives? Because "Some drama...." is just so specific. I'm sorry, I guess the five periods in the nonstandard extended ellipsis should've tipped me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHawk 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 Perhaps your personal relationship with her colours your judgement of the facts. Well, it doesn't cloud my judgment that when complete strangers are chasing somebody at 2:30 in the morning, even people who would normally know what they should do wouldn't think of doing it. If they were practically on her ass most of the time, when they moved away they must have still been pretty close, right? License plates are designed to be legible at a reasonable distance. Do you know that they slowed down at all? One car's going 85 in one direction, the other one is going a similar speed in another direction...there's what, two seconds to get that number down?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Do you know that they slowed down at all? One car's going 85 in one direction, the other one is going a similar speed in another direction...there's what, two seconds to get that number down? They did a 180 degree turn in two seconds and went south on 52 EAST? I guess that car did have wings after all. Seriously, just quit while you're, well, behind. Exit ramps go in the same direction as the damn highway for at least the first third of the stretch, for chrissakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to her own story (which is in that link that you could have clicked out of since it did take her like half the message to get to the drama), they were side by side when they finally got off to go to 52 East.

They were supposed to see that license plate...how, exactly? When it turned. Put two matchboxes side by side and make one turn off (NOT at a 90 degree angle, mind you) onto an exit ramp. It would be ridiculously easy to see the back of the second from the front of the first. Direct line of sight. And if the two are moving at exactly the same speed (85 mph, according to you) then how is the license plate vanishing into the distance at such a great rate that it becomes impossible to read within 2 seconds?

Firestarter 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 It's called sarcasm. Look it up in Webster's Dictionary if you're unfamiliar with the term. There's no need to adopt that tone. I haven't flamed you. Put two matchboxes side by side and make one turn off (NOT at a 90 degree angle, mind you) onto an exit ramp. It would be ridiculously easy to see the back of the second from the front of the first. Direct line of sight. And if the two are moving at exactly the same speed (85 mph, according to you) then how is the license plate vanishing into the distance at such a great rate that it becomes impossible to read within 2 seconds? Would it be a fair assumption that they slowed down just a bit to pull off the exit ramp? (No idea if they did or not, just asking.) Possibly. On the one hand, most people do. On the other, most people don't have reason to believe that someone else is reporting them to the police at the time. Both that assumption and the opposite have equal validity, lacking specific data. If they had, then that changes whether there was a direct line of sight or not. True, assuming SNSD continued at 85 mph along 163 N, thus speeding straight past the other car. Although then that begs the question of why she didn't slow down a bit as well and stay on the highway in order to note the license plate. Which in turn can be answered by Ripper's assertion that she was, at that point, an "overreacting headcase," but that doesn't really make her look any better. My primary point throughout this thread was that it was not physically impossible for SNSD to note the license plate number had she been thinking clearly. That she wasn't I consider a further count against her, rather than the mitigating circumstance everyone else seems to consider it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
