He drunkenly (and senselessly) hit the rear of Ms Tintor's car and they both then travelled over 500 feet, almost a football field in length, before coming to a halt. At which time a 23yr old woman and her dog were BURNED ALIVE in such a fiery and gruesome fashion that bystanders were helpless to save her.

Times like this are why skorp didn't want people cussing on this site. I can't figure out an atrocity bigger unless I go to devious and torturous forms of murder. Or war crimes.

That's literally all I can think of.

It's crazy, a guy in Florida was almost 120 in a 30 zone, ran a stop sign, hit a fire hydrant went up an embankment and the car got launched in to the air went trough the roof landed inside an house killing who was inside

Have to wonder where their brain is but they do this stuff.

I have had two cars pass me on the left (different occasions) on a state highway when I was in the left hand turn lane. They were traveling at high rates of speed.

If I wasn't using my side and rear view mirrors I would be dead a couple of times over.

ESPN says they filed 2nd charges against him for the injuries to his GF who was in the car and will probably also file firearm charges against him for the loaded gun. He could face up to 46 years in jail if all those charges were sought.

He and the GF have a 3 year old child, who luckily was not in the car.

Well he was only at 127 upon impact per the cars computer :facepalm:

Didn’t realize cars these days have “black boxes”. That’s makes the job of detectives much easier than calculating tire tracks and skid marks etc.

Id be good with him doing 20-30 years

It almost seems like this should fall under self-incrimination where people should have the right to disable the tracker.

Almost all newer cars have a “black box” it will tell speed at time of impact or when airbags deployed... if seatbelts were warn... etc.... not sure of it’s total capability

The data in the black box is proprietary information that belongs to General Motors. There should be no expectation of privacy

I have never even heard of and can't imagine anyone driving 156 mph on a city street. It makes me wonder if he was having an argument with his gf and either wanted to scare her or wanted to kill them both. This just doesn't make any sense to me. 156 mph on any street is just unimaginable. Was he in a suicidal mindset to do that?

Of course this can be justified in terms of safety but we are slowly losing all are rights.

I think when you own a car a person should have the right to disable the device.

Honestly I don’t know... These accident investigators are no joke and can resconstruct a scene by hand with skids lack of skid distance traveled and math calculations. All it is doing is saving time.

Then your car insurance company drops you.

I'm more interested in maintaining individual rights than saving time. Like you said, they can reconstruct the crime scene and there are cameras everywhere these days.

A little off topic, but confessions are made to the police all the time without people ever hearing or knowing their Miranda Rights.

Do you actually know that they don't have that right? Or can they disable it, if they want to, without any governmental consequences?
