Does anyone else have the feeling that the video does not tell us everything we need to know? Sure, if the video is real, then the perp needs some serious punishment, but to me, some things just dont click:
1. The victim said he was "out for a drive". Really? South Logan City is not exactly known for it's natural beauty. I would say that the only people who would choose to drive there would be residents, and people with a good reason to go there.
2. What happened before the published video started? A driver, and his female passenger went absolutely ape-****. There must have been some reason, however small.
3. Is there any previous history between the perp and the ex-cop...or cop?
4. The case went to court on Feb 4, and nothing more seems to have happened. Maybe the police know something we dont?
5. The perp has (apparently) only been charged with dangerous drving. I would have thought there would have been other, more serious caharges. Maybe the police know something we dont.
6. The dash cam seems to a very high quality unit. Why?
7. The perp said the tape was a fake. This is often a valid defence against video evidence. Does the perp strike you as the sort of intelligent person who would be aware of this defence? Not me. I would say the only reason he claimed it was a fake, was either because it was a fake, or someone intelligent told him to say it!
Either way, does anyone know any more about this incident? Is anyone following the case, to report back later?
