Your honor, be as it may that my client has a passport, millions of dollars in cash, and a car waiting to take him to the airport to his private jet immediately after this hearing, there is no evidence my client is a flight risk, therefore...
Wisconsin Judge: Say no more, for the 10 felony counts we set bond at -$1000, your client can pickup their check upon release, thanks for choosing our court system...
It has blown my mind watching a lot of these CBC videos where they high speed chase while drunk, hit the police, run, fight, all that, and at the end it's like 20 felony charged, released on own recognizance or $100 bond, wtf?
Here in Missouri, just being minor in possession like they are is a night in jail, $500 bond.

As a public employee, I know that the worst thing about this is that even though the officer was hit by this guy who is blitzed into a different universe, HE will be the one to face equal or greater scrutiny. Mandatory leave pending investigation (probably), compelled statement, absolutely drug/substance tested.
I'm driving a city vehicle, doing everything 100% right, and some day-drinker t-bones me out of the blue, I'LL be the one defending myself to the City Admin and municipal insurer, and depending on their mood that day, I could be the one fired, for doing nothing lol, for something someone else did.

I think that could actually hurt the situation in some cases. We're conditioned by movies and tv that altercations and chases are smooth, stable, well framed, easy to follow, and nicely edited.
Real life is shaky, blurry, out of frame, jittery, and difficult to see, and I think that needs to be preserved as part of the experience of the situation. It gives context.
Maybe smaller, multiple cameras, one stabilized and smooth, one raw showing what's actually happening in an unaltered way. Maybe patrol officers someday will have 'follow' camera drones, giving an over the shoulder view like a video game.

It an interesting situation and how they handled it. I was involved in a traffic accident with a local police officer, the dept chief in fact, when I was in college. Turned out to be his fault, but that entire dept did NONE of the investigation. They arrived on scene, told everyone to stay put, and called in State Police to run the entire investigation. I never spoke to any of the local PD other than them to tell me to wait for State, they could not investigate an incident involving their own officer. Guy was in an unmarked going about double the speed limit and we hit each other changing lanes, me going into the turn lane, him trying to beat the intersection yellow. I was on my way to work, and it was a crazy story to tell as to why I was late lol.
It's a sinking feeling to go "Holy shit what just happened, that guy's crazy!", and look up and see "City of [Redacted] Police" license plates on the other vehicle. I will also say in my case, the officer NEVER got out of the car or checked on me AT ALL. I never even spoke to him or was within 10 feet of him. I'm guessing he radioed in, we were like 1/4 mile from the dept, but I didn't get out because I didn't want him to think I was any sort of threat, and he didn't get out until officers arrived.
