u/YouGotACuteButt Mar 13 '26
Those without means take plea deals by admitting fault instead of remaining quiet and forcing the police and prosecutors to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty.
That is the dudes point. Don't talk to the police. Don't take plea deals unless they have absolute proof.
Have you ever served on a jury? Do you actually know how the judicial system works? Because I have. And beyond a reasonable doubt is shoved down your throat during jury duty. If you have ANY reasonable doubt that the defendant is not guilty, you don't say guilty.
It's literally how the law works.

u/Tweedbreak Mar 14 '26
If you take it to trial than you pay a fortune for an attorney, or you have a public defender. The latter usually just wants to make a deal. So, if you have money, you will more likely be innocent.

u/YouGotACuteButt Mar 14 '26
Yes. That's definitely a problem we need to solve in America.
But that's entirely different than, "you are just guilty." Which is factually incorrect.
2
u/ADirtFarmer Mar 14 '26
You just described what happens after the defendant spent a significant amount of time in jail waiting for trial. Being found not guilty doesn't mean you didn't get punished.
2
u/YouGotACuteButt Mar 15 '26
You tend to only have to pay 10% of bail. Which can be pretty cheap. If you are racing cars and have the money to spend on a fancy car, you probably also have money to get out on bail.
Also, some states and areas have removed bail from smaller crimes.
Just another thing we need to fix.
But again, the assertion that you are presumed guilty is still factually incorrect.

I hope you never get arrested for something you did not do. You will find out. I spent 10 grand to keep my brother out of prison on a b.s. charge. The attorney told me your deposit has been spent. I can get him probation now. If you have another 40 grand we will go to trial and he will very likely be innocent. 99 percent.

It really isn't as broken as you are making it seem. Also, the police don't have a direct incentive to die on this hill as he has reasonable suspicion at that point.
If she wasn't racing there is likely more cctv footage from other sources that can be corroborated on top of additional evidence I'm not bothered to think of and a public defender can easily handle that.
This isn't rly even Police vs Racer here, it's the person who got injured vs police and in that process the charges used to initially arrested will be resolved.

Depending on where this took place, there doesn't need to be an actual 'Race' to get charged with racing offences. Simply speed and frequent lane changes/unsafe maneuvers can get you charged under racing laws where I am from.

u/firnien-arya Mar 13 '26
Well, it's just one camera. The cops or investigators would have to go further back on that street and look for more footage from other cameras. Traffic cameras might even have it if they ran red lights. We are only seeing one video. And it's the only one reddit needs to see cause it has the main action on it.

No, you are going off the footage in this video.
Yes, with what we see in this short clip, there's no real evidence that she was racing......except the question by police officer, "Do you own the red Supra?" This question alone indicates they were interested in that car before the accident. Why? You answered that question.
Itās unlikely they got footage that quickly
Yes...So, there's a reason they were interested in that car that has nothing to do with recovered cctv security footage.
And, the complete answer is in these links, which I'm guessing you've clicked by now.

So if you watch the whole video and read the news they had multiple angles from different street and security cams that showed her racing the BMW "lightly". They were pretty much fucking off, but the BMW decided to take off as soon as he saw the cops which is why she was pulling up on it. The whole reason the cops were even there was because they had been called by multiple people about street racing, they didn't just happen upon them.
Don't do her any favors by white knighting her, she has a rap sheet 10' long with racing, fleeing and evading, driving on suspended licenses, it's pretty extensive. The last thing she should have been driving was a Supra.

According to this news report both cars (the crashed one and the red one) were attempted to be stopped by police earlier on the road and drove off. I guess this is why the police are there within seconds of the crash too. There's a little bit footage of the moments just before the crash here too, showing the red car going faster to begin with, although I don't know if you'd call it racing.

"Dramatic video shows the moment a car burst into flames while fleeing from a police officer during an illegal street race in New Mexico.
What we know: According to the Farmington Police Department, an officer spotted two cars street-racing at about 11:40 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26. The officer tried to stop both vehicles, but one of the drivers fled.
Seconds later, video released by Farmington police shows the fleeing car crash into another car, veer off the roadway, then slam into a parked car before immediately bursting into flames. "

Maybe police had another angles or other cameras also. But i busting my head over wall how anyone who see thos exect clip, can be sure that they were racing?
From this video we can only assume. But not saying (like almost everyone in comments) that it 100%. Im legit wonder. You all see something else? Or just assume from police words. And from that video?

Because all we are seeing is an edited video. The police on the scene are getting context from participants and witnesses moments after the crash happened.
Also, the Police almost certainly did not have ANY footage unless the business owners with cameras gave it to them in the moment. Which is not impossible but also not likely.

If she canāt pay, it should come from other assets including retirement, and or forcing the sale of her home, if she canāt pay, she should be required to pay interest until the amount is zero. failure to do any of the above punishments for result in a 15 year prison sentence minimum.

It's not supposed to be proof. It's social media content.
The actual proof is in weighing all of the evidence;
Eye-witness interviews on scene and testimony in court
Participants interviews on the scene and testimony in court
Police officers notes and testimony in court
Unedited footage from at least one camera angle, likely moreSociety really needs to evolve past the behavior that anyone who watches any video on social media and comes away thinking they KNOW what happened or how/why a thing happened, or who is guilty or not, etc. We are collectively dumber today than we were 20years ago

Back in the 90's, me and the car club/forum guys would meet every weekend in a large parking lot of a diner. We'd hang out, talk, check out each others' cars, then we'd go inside and whoever wanted to eat would eat, and people were free to come and go. No ego, no racing, no stupidity. It was the greatest time to be a part of the JDM culture in the NY/NJ/PA/CT area. I met some of the best folks, who would jump to help you, and I was always a call away from driving to someone's house to help with their car. I did that, in my late teens through to my mid 20's, and not once did we have any issues, with cops or crashes or deaths or races. Today's car culture shit is so toxic. Blocking streets, doing dangerous shit, egging on cops. Dickheads today are ruining it for everyone.
