What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Hey,
Wanting some advice as to how to handle a situation.
I'm driving with a friend when a car with the lights off swerves into me and totals my car. It's a young woman. I've got just a few bruises but the woman cracks the windshield with her head and is visibly disoriented.
Cops come. She told the cops she doesn't have a license. I found the fake license on the floor later. It was tore in half.
The cops are extremely pissed off that I'm taking pictures of her car even though it's perfectly legal. So because the woman is disoriented, one of the cops tells me they can't do a DUI test on her because of the head trauma she will test positive regardless?
My friend looks inside the woman's car and finds 2 empty beer bottles under the driver's seat. As he's about to take a picture one of the cops comes rushing at him and screams in his face. He wasn't able to take the picture of the empty bottles.
The woman got to walk away with just a ticket for driving without a license.
My question is, is it perfectly in his jurisdiction for the cop to do what he did? If so, Is it sketchy for a cop to do something like that? I have 2 pictures of beer in her car, and I have the fake license with me.
P.s: An ambulance came. They checked on her, and left.
