That went right by me Justin. I re-read it, now I agree.

From what I Saw it said he was escorted to his truck and told to leave – obviously the cop is telling him to get into the car.

Where I’m a wee bit hazy here is, did the officer order him to “leave” (as in walk away) or did the officer order him to get in his vehichle and drive away ?

Just one question concerning the courts rational here..Lets say the “drunk “brother didn’t hit the patrol car in his attempt to depart the parking lot per the officer’s “orders”. And order was what it was.

So lets say he left sucessfully then got in a headon collision that resulted in death.

I’d really like to see what rational the court would use in regard to a senerio like that if it had happened. I remember reading about this case a while back and still can’t phantom how the court ruled the way it did. The man gets told by a public servant with a badge and gun to depart the premises, yet are found to not be responsible for any implications that may take place after “ordering” a citizen to do something, which, as this case showed, involved putting the public at risk if this person was actually drunk.

So much for public safety..
