A few questions I had in my mind about the information the police had on the driver of the commercial driver and his rig. 1. Was it Enter or Intra State commerce. 2. Was license and health card up to date. 3.Was the vehicle inspection and daily inspection current. 4. Was log book up to date. 5. Was the vehicle overloaded. It would seem to me if there was any discrepancies they would have obtained a warrant at the very beginning.
None of that was relevant in this case.

Any discrepancy or violation has to be causal to the accident to be admissible as evidence.
Looking at the cop's dashcam videos shows absolutely no causality on the part of the burn victim. He was in the far lane, minding his own bidness when some mother's wayward son crossed all those lanes and hit him head-on. Kinda hard to place any causality on him. Unless it's now an offense to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wouldn't put it past the friggin' bureaucrats to put that one in the DOT regs.
