    He'll go to court, his buddy who wrote the ticket won't show (as planned), ticket dismissed.

    I doubt it. If they went through the trouble of citing him in the first place then he’s probably not going to get out of it. Remember he destroyed a Dodge Charger police interceptor (for which Ohio residents are going to have to foot the bill for) along with paying for a new ICC bumper on the trailer(again,at taxpayers expense),provided that said trailer hasn’t been totaled!And I’m sure his commander is not pleased-he might even be terminated!
    They don’t need any publicity where their cars are involved.

    That was the first time I watched the dash cam video.

    It starts with what looks like an illegal uturn so he could hit the on ramp. Crossed the solid white on the ramp, then a couple of illegal lane changes. Appears to be speed based off of other traffic, but that is subjective. Based off the dash cam video, a non police officer would have been charged with a lot more.

    I think the ticket will stand, but I also think the officer will return to duty with no other real consequence.

    Just catering to the public, they'll sweep it under the rug
