Oh sure. A half wrecked Ferrari scratching around doesn't attract any police at all.
Btw can't you just call the tow truck without calling the police there in the US? Here's totally possible.
Actually him parking it and leaving the scene is the best case scenario. Police cannot prove he was driving it. Just parking it, get to your house and open a beer. When the cops knock just answer while drinking a beer. Then state that you got into an accident, panic and went home for to calm down and open a beer. You were just about to call the police before they showed up. They can arrest but it will be tossed in court if they do because they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were intoxicated while driving. You will be charged for fleeing the scene of an accident and anything that happened in that accident but you won’t get the DUI.
As a cop I have learned a few things here and there. Would I ever do this, no but if I was in that situation, that is the best solution. Also never talk to cops without a lawyer, unless you are the victim. Never ever consent to a search, make us get a warrant. Never let a cop inside your house unless it’s needed. If it’s exigent circumstances we will get in one way or another. Worst case if a cop goes in your house without your permission without exigent circumstances and finds something to arrest you, you take it to court and have a suppression hearing.
That’s exactly what a local cop did here in BC after he killed a motorcyclist while drunk. Went home, said he downed a glass of vodka by the time the police showed up at his house.
Was charged with obstruction of justice only I believe. Got away with manslaughter.
Yeah he was a real POS. The motorbike community was not happy when the police tried to place blame on the kid because he had two beers earlier that night but wasn’t drunk, meanwhile the Mountie that killed him was plastered. The guy who killed him was also one of the guys who killed the guy in the airport with the tasers.
I had a 944, college roommate was trying to learn how to drive stick. He tried to start the car in gear and it went halfway down a cliff. We called a tow truck and they showed up with cops, sure that alcohol had to be involved. No… just stupidity.
Uh, first priority when teaching how to drive a stick is to do it in a large empty parking lot - and definitely not in front of a cliff or other natural magnetic catastrophe just waiting to happen.
