Nahh... cops don't do these things. After I had successfully fought a "large" speeding ticket driving my DeTomasso Pantera while being followed by a Peugeot 404 Cop Car who ticketed me for a 170km speed in a 100 km zone where the judge happened to be a car guy and where I could "prove" that the cop had no idea how fast I was going as he was trying to keep up with me at full launch. That very same cop ( who knew me because he lived and worked in the local town) decided to "walk around my car" and dish out some tickets just because it was revenge time one day after the court day. I then walked in the police HQ, demanded to see the Police chief and had a discussion with him. Suffices to say the tickets somehow did not make it into the system. Somehow this cop never liked me thereafter :-) This happened in Belgium... just to show a%%shol##es are everywhere.

Have to watch for haters everywhere. Even the cops. He singled out that car for what it was rather than where it was. Most of us in cars in the 6fig range have dealt with this a time or two including me in a few small west tx cities. When my vw broke down 2 yrs ago and I drove my 997tt to theVA for a week and it was ticketed for parking violations every single day it was there. The vw never did and none of the other docs cars did... Had a talk with the chief of va surgery who spoke with the va chief of police to stop the harassment. Had another follow me all over at way too close following distance then pull me over after a light turned yellow as I went under it... kept me and wife (who is also a physician) pulled over for 30 min with extra cruisers in for the fun and harassment . Had my attorney pull the cops video immediately... That stop didn't go we'll for the cop.
Wow,,, not so sure whether this is the case in WA state. Seems like I get more respect from the traffic officers with my Porsche than Honda days. I used to get pulled over right & left with my rocket ricer Honda, versus Porsche has been very pleasant driving around in WA, especially in Seattle areas.

The cop will most likely get nothing unless the injury causes him to have the foot operated on and as a result he has to retire. If that is the case, he could get a lot of money. But the process would take years. If he sustains minor injuries he will have to go back to work in a few weeks, full time and fit for duty or the Police Department could fire him. That is the most probable scenario. Because he will be getting paid during medical leave and the fact that he must return to work( can't risk his pension), he will be getting enough money to buy a used Toyota Prius.

The cop Felix Recio was arrested for DWI in November. NYPD probably has issues with him and trying to fire his ***. Here is the article: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/11/...driving-drunk/
