    Because everything is racist these days. That word used to mean something, now it’s just a throwaway word because everyone hears it 50 times a day.

    As far as cameras go, they’re not secret. The people who choose to work for a carrier that has them know that they’re in the truck. 45 years is just right for this smoothbrain in my opinion. Any less and he’d just be out on the road again pulling retarded stunts.

    Like i said before it wasnt the vid of him inside the cab that had people hate him. The only thing that did is prove he didnt even look which would have gotten him a negligent homicide at worst, and even his lack of reaction at worst would have been handwaved off by most as shock. Even without the camera he was likely to catch some pretty serious charges.

    What got him treated like that was the video the guy took with a cellphone after the wreck showing him smirking and no remorse. The fact all of his previous EXTREMELY negitive record popped up, and this all happening at a time when to be frank a LOT of forigen drivers are killing people via shere incompetince to a point even the most diehard supporters of forigen drivers are having to acknowledge its becoming an issue.

    Throw on back to back major multi fatality accidents in the news days apart, and an ongoing trial....yea he is going to get the book thrown at him if for no other reason then he was there. The fact he had some pretty damning previous encounters and those videos of at least 2 i know of got FOIAed or publicly released showing how unhinged and violent he was.....not a great look.

    This had little to nothing to do with the internal camera. All that did is prove he was at fault.

    45 years is way too excessive in my book. Intent has to be measured here. He made a dumb move, true enough but 45 years?

    No, they decided to file homicide charges on him because what he did was homicide… Because anybody with a brain nose, you make a U-turn like that over a busy highway you know for a fact that somebody hit you guess what they’re dead… Oh, not to mention what he did was illegal a sign right there that says no charge authorize use only… That’s another reason for the homicide charge
