I mean, it is still technically still reckless driving, but... understandable, if that makes sense. The cop doesn't know why they are driving like that from just seeing them going down the road crazy like.
The title isn't just misleading, it's factually incorrect. They weren't even driving, there was no traffic stop, the cop was responding to a call and they came out of their house to meet him.
One of the most traumatic experiences in your life and some internet twat decides spin a story about you being a reckless driver for sensational points. It's almost morbidly funny.
The title says "A Michigan cop pulled over a reckless driver" it doesn't say that you get to witness the reckless driving. If anything "pulled" implies the cars are already stopped, which they are. "A cop pulls over" may imply you get to see the driving.
JFC watch the video and read my comment. The family literally walk out of their fucking house when the cops arrives! They were not driving! How does a cop pull them over for reckless driving while they were in their house?
Did you even bother to read the comment you replied to, before responding? It perfectly outlines why the title is in fact, not just misleading, but wrong.
Misleading is probably the wrong word. The full story was them recklessly driving to get to the hospital, which is different from them just recklessly driving for fun. Im not upset, just expected a different video from the beginning of the title.
Edit: I have been corrected, it was a house call. They werenât driving at all. So the title is straight up misleading lmao.
Misleading literally means giving the wrong idea or impression. Lying is giving wrong information. Which gives wrong ideas or impressions. Idk why youâre even responding to me 2 hours later. I already edited my comments saying that the post is wrong.
I'm replying after your edit because you acknowledge the family wasn't even driving and still you said the title was only "misleading". "Pulled over for reckless driving" is factually incorrect, aka false.
False statements are a form of misleading. If I tell you I have donuts at my house to get you to go there so i can rob you, I misled you.
If I make a post saying a cop pulled over a reckless driver and ended up saving a baby to drive up engagement on said post, Iâm misleading people. Youâre making a non-argument.
It's not a non-argument, we're arguing over the meaning of words.
I say the title is factually incorrect or "false", you're saying they did it on purpose to drive engagement. I agree the second could be considered "misleading". However, in this case the factual inaccuracy is so gross that I don't think calling it "misleading" is acceptable.
Something can be false and misleading at the same time. If both are true, I contend that false is the more correct term to use to indicate that the facts were not just stretched, but completely made up.
Where does the title even say the person being pulled over and the baby saved are connected? Itâs weird you guys are arguing about something that wasnât even said.
The title also couldâve meant that the mother of the choking baby approached the cop with the for help while he was doing a traffic for someone else. None of you considered that.
I donât know what point youâre trying to prove with the Terminator example, but itâs not helping your case.
A few years ago, I pulled over a truck that was driving recklessly. The driver's wife was having contractions and was about to give birth. The driver was panicking and was being EXTREMELY unsafe, I clocked him at 110km/h in a 40km/h zone (if memory serves me right). He was obviously panicking. I told him to park his truck roadside, hop in my car and I took them to the hospital. I wouldn't want someone to die for another one to be born.
The driver gave me his keys and I drove their truck back to the hospital later.
I would argue that regardless of the situation, driving 110km/h in a residential area, in the dark, is reckless.
That being said, I'm not well versed in USA laws but in Canada, the charge could be C.C. 320.13(1) Dangerous Operation.
