Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." FML

Legally speaking, you can be held accountable if a police officer slams into you. Its one of those little nifty things they hide into laws nobody has heard about. The same thing happened to someone I know once, the Judge threw out the ticket and points but noted that the police officer couldn't be held accountable due to the same law. It's never, legally, an officer's fault if he's uniformed, in his patrol car, and on duty. It isn't fair, it's just there so that, say, there's a high speed chase and a few cars get whacked in the process, the police department doesn't have to pay for them. The ticket you got is bullshit though, as that's a bullshit charge, and will get thrown out in court. Also, if you have decent insurance and your car isn't totaled you'll probably have the repairs covered by the insurance company. If you have shitty coverage, sucks for you, drive a sturdier car :P FYL and Good luck!

get a lawyer and take him to court...if he was following proper driving protocol he shouldve been two car lengths behind you if it was clear weather or double that if the roads or wet or other bad conditions. regardless if he hit you from behind it's not your fault. take the cop to court...what he did is not legal.

He's a cop. Taking him to court is probably a bad idea. Not to mention, he probably would have 'no faulted' the accident if you weren't being an asshole to him. I am assuming you were being an asshole. if you really want to get back at him, don't take him to court. Having something like that going public will do more harm then good no matter the outcome. What you do is notify his supervisor or chief. They'll determine whether or not who has been wronged. Chief's aren't the type of people who let their officers slide with something that stupid, the only thing is it's a judgement call. If it happens you were being a dick, the chief will politely tell you to **** off
