Who hasn’t driven off with something on the roof of their car before?
Kinda shows how much attention most drivers are paying though.
“Police pop drivers’ tires by accidentally dropping spikes”

Highlighting how the title removes fault from the police by rewording it. I litetally put “accidentally” in my version.
The hell are you on about?
I thought you were another American with a rabid hatred of the police, to be honest.
Oh hahaha
I am. ACABThe police in the USA are systemically racist and corrupt.
Not everyone is smart enough to realise not all police are like that, I thought you were one of them. I did somewhat get the wrong impression.
Wilson said everyone with a damaged car will be reimbursed.
Good on them!
I mean, I kinda feel that’s the least they could do.
It really is, but it also seems pretty rare. I’ve seen plenty of stories where police raid the wrong house, smashing the door down, and basically say “you’re on your own. We don’t pay for repairs.” though.
In New Zealand though? I can’t imagine them getting away with it. That’s property damage and the landlords association would have a fit.
How the hell do you accidentally drop road spikes
Inspector Jim Wilson said officers put the “Tactical Deflation Device” (TTD) on the roof of their car to make room for a man they were arresting.
But they forgot to put the spikes back and they fell across several lanes of the Southern Motorway near Greenlane.
Bless. I’ve done that with sunglasses.
Who is upvoting this? It says in the story how this happened.
Read the damn article.
