Here's The Moment A Red Light Running Cop Wipes Out An Innocent Motorist

Police pursuits are inherently dangerous, so it falls on the cops to use their judgement about how exactly to pursue. This officer makes a serious error as he blasts through a red light and hits a Toyota Corolla

Cops run red lights all the time - it helps them catch bad people and save lives - but it’s on them to slow down and assess the situation before doing so. Unfortunately, this officer in Ocoee, Florida, made a massive error of judgement when he blew through a red light without slowing down, wiping out a Toyota Corrolla in the process.

Officer Chris Bonner was pursuing two armed robbery suspects when the incident occurred, and reports suggest he was travelling 90mph when he crashed. The driver of the Corolla was 26-year-old Yahaira Castro, who suffered serious injuries. Apparently, paramedics pulled her from the wreckage by her broken arms…

The officer has been fined $164 and received four points on his driving license for running the red light, while Castro has confirmed that she is suing the city of Ocoee.

I’m sorry, he could of killed someone and all he gets is a slap on the wrist and a fine of $164? If I did that I’d locked up and banned from driving. Let alone the fine that’d come with it…….

and just because he’s a cop he gets only 164 fine and 4 points, i’d say license gone, and you have to pay the damages ATLEAST, he probably endangered more people than the armed robbers
