July 21, 201511 yr Author So what about a license plate violation? Pretty low on the list of priorities for me. May have run the plates and found car was owned by a man with a suspended license?
July 21, 201511 yr Spotted him at Vine and McMillian near the UC campus and pursued him for about a half of a mile according to the article. No problem with half a mile at all. Plantman said it was three miles they could go off campus. I commented that I thought that was too far.
July 21, 201511 yr Like Hilary says, what does it matter at this point? This guy was bound to have his Jimmy Shaker day at some point. Talk about obscure references.
July 21, 201511 yr Guru, reports say there was an issue with the door. Would the officer have been trying to open the door to yank him out after he refused to exit the vehicle? Is that how you are trained to handle it? What if the guy is simply stronger and the officer can't get him out of the car? What then?

If I lawfully order you out of your vehicle and you refuse to come out I was well trained on how to get you out of the vehicle. In other words, once the officer wants you out and you refuse (and given some other factors like alcohol) the officer needs to use force to extricate you from the vehicle. And there are plenty of people out there stronger, you have to use tactics, smarts, experience, the tools provided to you, your training, etc. Trust me, they come out of the vehicle every last time.

Seeing your reply, I now have the Cops theme song "Bad Boys" running through my head now.
July 21, 201511 yr Seeing your reply, I now have the Cops theme song "Bad Boys" running through my head now. It's exactly like that sometimes.
July 21, 201511 yr If you are an officer of the law, does jurisdiction really matter, are you not here to serve and protect, all.
July 21, 201511 yr May have run the plates and found car was owned by a man with a suspended license? Car was registered to a woman.
July 21, 201511 yr Doesn't anyone want to know why a UC cop was stopping people off campus? How far are they allowed to follow a person and do they have the authority to follow them for a missing license plate violation? Seems odd. Patrol beats are separated into three areas on UC's main campus - Uptown, East and West. Additional patrols work with Cincinnati Police to cover neighborhoods surrounding UC's main campus. UCPD also serves UC's Blue Ash and Clermont campuses. https://www.uc.edu/publicsafety/about/police.html

Thanks. What would have to happen to warrant a shooting? Let's assume he wasn't reaching for a weapon or actually showed a weapon. If he punched the officer? If he started to take off?
July 21, 201511 yr Thanks. What would have to happen to warrant a shooting? Let's assume he wasn't reaching for a weapon or actually showed a weapon. If he punched the officer? If he started to take off? Short of some type of weapon you got me Clyde.
July 21, 201511 yr Short of some type of weapon you got me Clyde. So that will be the big factor here. Barring the officer being dragged down the road by the victim and knowing there was no weapon I am struggling to come with scenarios that warrant a shooting.
July 21, 201511 yr So that will be the big factor here. Barring the officer being dragged down the road by the victim and knowing there was no weapon I am struggling to come with scenarios that warrant a shooting. It would have to be a situation where the officer feared for his life. I guess time, and the video, will tell.
July 21, 201511 yr I've never heard of this 48 hour wait period before giving a statement. Is that common in law enforcement?
