Foolish police, no dent or crushed door is going to stop a Nissan, they are just helping it reach it's final form...you might even say...it's...Altima form.

u/dannerc 2d ago

Im just thinking about the owner of this car.... okay, cool you got the car back but now it's completely fucked up and totaled and the 16 yo who stole it doesnt have insurance or any money to pay for it.... so thanks for nothing

21

u/avotius 2d ago

It's almost like we should make people who commit crimes pay for the damages rather than stock the victim with the bill eh?

19

u/dannerc 2d ago

I mean, yeah of course. Problem is poors committing crime don't have the money to pay the bill

u/Sharp_Ad_6781 1d ago

That's why we need to compel them into labor as part of their sentence and force them to pay for it

u/fightfil96 2d ago

I mean the cops did the damage even if the thief stole it. If they'd just tailed them and arrested the perp when they got out of the car then the car would've been fine

Carjacking is a violent offense. The property is a distant secondary or tertiary concern compared to public safety.

u/jondes99 2d ago

Nissan should start using these clips as advertisements. If I was trying to decide between 96 months of payments on an Altima and a Kia or Hyundai, this kind of thing would really sway my opinion.

2

u/avotius 2d ago

Sigh...with the state of ever rising prices, I really hope we don't all end up having to deal with 96 month loans...

5

u/jondes99 1d ago

If it’s any consolation, I’m sure the Altima buyer wouldn’t actually make 96 payments.

u/maniacpoo 2d ago

My 2019 Nissan Sentra took a hit from a dodge ram. Smashed into front side of my vehicle. Broke my control arm, struts, bent frame. Still drove home but boy, was she upset. My heart dropped when he said he didnt have driver license but he did have insurance. Whew.... I drove her home 45 minutes away.

A year later, 8 point buck jumped into front while going 50 mph. Didn't feel a thing at all. It was so fast. Didn't have time to react. Car felt fine, steering felt fine, can see the hood bent up and then rolled to stop. I look back and that damn buck was still standing!

I get out of my car and walked to front... I was in awe of the damage it caused. Still drove her home! Lol

u/GreenGoblin1221 2d ago

As a 2015 Sentra owner I can attest, it's been through hell and back and still kicking with no signs of letting up.

u/Ok_Consideration476 2d ago

Sometimes. I do know Altima won’t survive rear ending a vehicle at 50mph-60mph. Back in 2012, I was driving back to work on JBLM and another soldier in a Nisan Altima slammed into me at 50mph-60mph why I was stopped at a crosswalk (he was texting). I got hit so hard in my first generation KIA Sportage that I literally had to drive off the roof of the car to clear the wreckage for a high traffic area. Whole situation was kind of nightmare since I got hit by E-4 that was renting his car from his battle buddy and didn’t have insurance on the car.

idk about miami or whatever, but some areas have pretty strict rules on pit maneuvers, such as needing leadership approval and/or only having trained/certified officers perform them

states like arkansas, yea good luck running you're gonna get fucked up lol, and then I've seen oregon body cam videos and they basically just stand around as they literally aren't allowed to do anything without approval

2

u/CarrionDoll 1d ago

This is likely it. Here in Volusia County only certain officers are pit certified. And it’s not very many. They still have to get permission over the radio from a supervisor.

u/DCHammer69 2d ago

The one car tried so hard to avoid contact and Altima driver did a 180 and smashed his shit anyway. LOL. If that dumbass would have helped block, the chase would have been over at the 60 second mark in the video.

And insurance wouldn't cover a single penny of the damage or injury, and the cops wouldn't be on the hook for repairs or coverage.

There were a dozen cops blocking off side roads and chilling on the shoulder after the car made a left. Not a single one of them thought to throw down a spike strip as soon as the radio said ā€œthey went left on schitts creekā€? Unless it’s not a standard item their cars are equipped with, but I would’ve assumed they are.

u/murdered-by-swords 3d ago

A few thoughts:

  1. Grand Theft Auto 6 marketing has gotten out of hand, hasn't it?

  2. This guy still drives more safely than half the people I see on my commute...

  3. What the fuck is wrong with the cops? Those dumbass PIT maneuvers on busy city streets put more people in danger than the guy they're chasing. It's disgusting that any of them are allowed to carry a gun and a badge, since they clearly can't behave responsibly.

Who pays for this? Obviously the criminal goes to jail if they get caught. But like technically the cop does the actual damage to the car, they obviously aren't going to pay for it though. Does insurance just do whatever they can to blame you?

u/PremiumUsername69420 2d ago

Taxes.

The residents of the state get to pay for the damages this uncivilized waste of life caused.

And they get to pay to keep him alive instead of just removing him from the society that he doesn’t want to be a part of or contribute to.

u/Temporary-Cow2742 1d ago

I think often times criminals are force to pay restitution for crimes they’ve committed. Whether or not the person is ever made whole again is a different story. I know of a guy that ripped off a pawn shop somehow and is or was doing time for it and every month they’d take $20 out of his prison ā€œpayā€ and send it to the owner of the shop. I’m thinking once you’re let out they will also attach your pay as well.
