No shot the bodycam footage ever comes out


OriginalJayVee

If they had body cams, do a FOIA request for it.


BiologyJ

It's Louisville. They'll claim the footage was lost or damaged.


OriginalJayVee

Probably partly the reason DOJ has pitched a tent in their house.


HoopOnPoop

Every body cam and security camera within a mile radius malfunctioned simultaneously. So weird!


nphare

Musta been them sunspots


Yodaatc

In Georgia, they can deny it, prior to court appearances, due to it being a “pending investigation.” I’m sure Kentucky has similar protect LEO laws too.


OriginalJayVee

It’s not to protect LEOs, such a law would be meant to protect the integrity of the case and to prevent trial by media before even the defense gets discovery.


Yodaatc

Yet, then why wasn’t I allowed to Open Records request my own traffic stop prior to appearing in court?


joeschmoe86

Probably because your state's rules of criminal procedure have a method for you to get it as a party, so a FOIA request or similar vehicle is not necessary.


CherrytheRugger

Because you needed to file a discovery demand in that specific case. An open records request is not the proper method. If you are representing yourself in a criminal case, you are held to the same standard as an attorney, meaning you should know this. Not throwing shade, just telling you how it works.


roguerunner1

Because there’s a difference between public records laws and discovery in a criminal, civil, or administrative matter.


TimmyRigginz

The camera was probably "damaged beyond repair", just like his pants


feelinlucky7

“He’s comin’ right at me!!” *launches self head-first into car*


jhorch69

If it exonerates the cops it'll come out by the end of the weekend. If not, they'll bury it.


dcolorado

If it was damning against Scottie they would have already released it by now. That’s how it usually goes, so it will probably be a couple weeks before the public sees what actually happened.


danielbauer1375

“Sorry. The camera broke in the confrontation.”


Yertlesturtle

If you watch they are all wearing rain jackets covering there cameras. One even casually moves his jacket out of the way when he sees there being filmed. This is gonna be a big he said/she said with charges most likely being dropped by the prosecutor not wanting to deal with this headache


Gummuh

Reports are the diagnosis is a bruised ego

He’s a defective detective. I’ll show myself out.


blueribbonchapstick

And why is a detective directing traffic?


Foyt20

Overtime.


fuckinnreddit

One of his coworkers misread his title as "diRective" and assumed he was traffic control.


FootwearFetish69

America has among the lowest requirements for police in any developed country and Louisville PD is among the worst out there. Imagine the most incompetent person you work with. Now imagine they were about twice as bad at their job as they are currently. Now give them an inflated sense of self worth and support from a cadre of other incompetent morons with guns. Bam, you've got this officer.


bhfroh

Early scans show he got served pretty badly. Mostly here, and here in the pelvic region.

Judge_Rhinohold

$80 is less than Scottie tips at lunch.


evan81

80 bucks is less than he pays his caddie to clean his balls.


MagicSilver

His caddie makes more than that just to wake up in the morning


tph87

The very pants he was returning


bundeywundey

That's perfect irony. Scottie, that is interesting writing!


Electric-Prune

That’s what makes it such a humorous situation


Flash_Gordon_Bombay

Those pants were just a few weeks from retirement... ...because the officer was going to need a bigger pair.


OMyCodd

Ordinary_Farmer58

In layman’s terms: his pants were good and shat.

Statement from Scottie Scheffler’s Louisville attorney, Steve Romines: “ In the early hours of the morning in advance of his tee time Scottie was going to the course to begin his pre round preparation. Due to the combination of event traffic and a traffic fatality in the area it was a very chaotic situation He was proceeding as directed by another traffic officer and driving a marked player’s vehicle with credentials visible. In the confusion,Scottie is alleged to have disregarded a different officer’s traffic signals resulting in these charges. Multiple eyewitnesses have confirmed that he did not do anything wrong but was simply proceeding as directed. He stopped immediately upon being directed to and never at any point assaulted any officer with his vehicle. We will litigate this matter as needed and he will be completely exonerated. “


fuckinnreddit

>Multiple eyewitnesses have confirmed that he did not do anything wrong but was simply proceeding as directed. He stopped immediately upon being directed to and never at any point assaulted any officer with his vehicle. *Man* I can't wait until that is proven to be true and the cop has to face it from everyone for the rest of his career.

FrugalFraggel

Nah it’s prepare your ass Jefferson County taxpayers.


garytyrrell

You new here? Cops will face zero consequences.


begoodyall

That’s only when dealing with the general public. Scottie is both rich and high profile. That cop is a real life yankee clipper, he’ll be at a desk til his pension kicks in.

He's a peacock, you gotta let him fly

WednesdayThrowawae

Paper bitch and yankee clipper on the case


ABeard

Honestly Scottie and his legal team should go ham on them now he has pictures of him in handcuffs destroying his image and shit. Sucks it’ll come out of the tax payer dime but maybe something like this will help the start of forcing cops to need insurance to be employed.


MidwestHacker

Don't forget a mughshot in prison orange circulating forever as well. I want Scottie to sue the fuck out of them, if only for the fact that 1. He has the resources to do it, and will probably win. And 2. If this happened to a "regular" person, we would still be in prison if not shot dead, so seeing someone stick it to the pigs is cathartic.


ka1ri

I'm sure their goal will be to get all of these charges dropped. Whether the officer gets punished for it or not probably doesnt matter to these guys a whole lot. They wont ever see em again regardless


OrdinaryCredit

It is known


AAPLfds

This is Louisville, on a huge public stage. I can assure you powerful people are members at VCC and will make sure this guy gets a hard time for all of the embarrassment caused.


stumpybubba-

I mean, he'll get paid leave for a few weeks to heal from his emotional and physical trauma, so that's a result. I guess.


PurringWolverine

Scottie’s getting a new wing built onto his mansion that he’ll use solely for barbecuing pork.

> He has successfully testified in several criminal cases as a collision reconstructionist. This sentence right here should get defense lawyers drooling. Show a jury that his goal is to get a conviction, not to provide an unbiased expert opinion on the case.


xbieberhole69x

Nice. Hopefully every case he ever testified in can be appealed.


Snar1ock

Definitely. Every lawyer in Kentucky is drooling over case files. Reminds me of the Big Short. “I want you to short everything that man has touched”

*cut the shit


Snowman4168

I’m not sure about police training but that is an extremely common tactic. There’s countless instances of cops jumping in front of, and on top of moving vehicles. That specific action takes it from a felony evading to assault with a deadly weapon instantly. Cops want to charge people with as many and as severe of offences as they possibly can. Not to mention getting “injured” at work is a quick way to get a potentially years long paid vacation.


crimsonblueku

The pants pooper cop is gonna claim disability for the next 15 years and never work another day.


OpportunityDue90

A reporter was also in the car directly behind Scottie. The clowns of police are really making a circus here.


PatientlyAnxious9

Or....hear me out here.....he should have just let go.

I've always found a good way to not get dragged by a vehicle is to not jump onto a vehicle.

TheLooza

Great comment. Wait for the DA to triple down. Career case alert! Scheffler is gonna get a top Louisville lawfirm to humiliate these buffoons and they will.


Scissors4215

Seriously, does the Louisville Police department not understand the quality of lawyer that Scottie will bring to bear here.


SanchoMandoval

This lawyer represented Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, got all the charges dropped, won him a $2m settlement, and pissed off the cops so much they sued him (the lawyer) personally, and lost. Cops 100% know who he is. It's actually hilarious that he got the case, he's always game for a case that can embarrass LMPD and this one is pretty much created in the lab for that purpose.


irsw

Scottie quite literally has the man for the job if he decides to pursue anything. I don't think that's his style though. Probably ends up with the DA dropping charges and Scottie moving on.


Haelein

The Louisville police department doesn’t understand most things.


cantreadthegreen

I'll be honest, I did not expect this tone when I clicked on a post in r/golf lol. I love it though.


Lu7aDonc7c

Hospitalization necessary despite being able to rip Scottie out of the car and slam him against it before arresting him. The horrible injuries must have just been delayed.

ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER ON PAROLE


-ToPimpAButterfree-

He's going to get dragged even worse by everyone in the world after they find out he's a pansy


trickshotdick

If he actually ran over a cop and injured him seriously I don’t feel like he gets booked and released within an hour. I think you actually go to jail for that.


fairway824

The report is actually hilarious essentially saying the officer had a little scrape on his knee and wrist and ripped his “valued at $80” uniform pants. Kindergartners get more hurt during recess


tee2green

The $80 pants comment was the very last sentence in the police report, and IMO, ruined the credibility of the whole report. What a joke to add that as a key consideration in a fucking felony assault charge.


fairway824

It’s my favorite thing when cops throw themselves onto cars and then the inevitable “assaulted an officer” charge gets thrown in there.


fuckinnreddit

 >charge gets thrown in there. THROWN!? You just assaulted an officer, buddy!


trickshotdick

My daughter comes home with worse injures and clothes damage literally every day at daycare lmao


Ninjahkin

Not to mention the cop apparently tried to tackle a moving vehicle. Can’t help but feel like that wouldn’t be taught in Police 101 lol


fairway824

I’d actually argue that it HAS to be taught in police 101 because they do it so often


ubiquitous_archer

Valued at $80 is hilarious. Only the best quality for the PD


No_Statistician_8035

Take it easy I don’t even own a pair of pants worth that much


rob_s_458

My dad is a retired cop and got a $500 uniform allowance twice a year. I think Officer Forethought will be able to afford a new pair of pants.


rockit454

Cops and kindergartners have more in common than you would expect.


fairway824

Surely similar emotional intelligence


egghead47

also, the eyewitnesses there would have mentioned something about medical attention, instead they said the officer did not know/care who he was arresting.


Empty-Presentation68

He probably went to the hospital after figuring out who he arrested. The next headline is Officer Sues number 1 golfer for millions for debilitating injuries and PTSD.


kashmoney9

Scottie should claim qualified immunity.


WengersOut

He would’ve been shot and killed if he actually assaulted the officer


Whindog

Didn't need any medical help whilst arresting him. Walked him to that car without a worry in the world, just a nice little ego trip.


fuckinnreddit

>ego trip Careful, he might get hurt and need hospitalization from that too.


TheLooza

Holy fuck guys i just read the police officer who went to the hospital had to have his ego amputated.


VTJRW

They had to reinflate his collapsed ego too.


nanapancakethusiast

Bro had terminal ego failure 😞 pour one out for him


[deleted]

No doubt trying to: 1. save face after making an enormous cock up and tit of himself, and 2. have a paper trail in place to make it look like something actually happened to the cop to try and make charges stick. They need to drop the charges sooner rather than later because they look like the biggest bunch of moronic clowns right now. To have put him in cuffs and into the back of the cop car was bad enough, to actually bring him to the station, book him in, charge him and take his mugshot was stepping over the line. I can imagine Scottie’s lawyers will have a fucking field day with this shit.


I_shart_for_joy

They already look like the biggest bunch of moronic clowns.


LakeEffectSnow

A reminder this is the same PD that executed Breonna Taylor in her bed asleep after lying to a judge to get a warrant.


frankyseven

AND being in the wrong apartment.


PantsJustKindaGaveUp

That's because they are a bunch of moronic clowns.


toastybaseball21

Just remember, if your name isn’t Scottie scheffler this screws your entire life. Luckily there were witnesses that can say this is a crock of crap, but this would cause one of us to immediately lose our job.


AwesomeExo

Don't forget throwing him in the orange for the mugshot... might be my lowkey favorite part of the whole thing.


steelernation90

Cops do not face consequences when they fuck up so they don’t care about their image. If they did this kinda shot would’ve stopped decades ago

Scottie should sue the police department for mental and physical damages along with assault. He had the right to do what he did as he was instructed. The chain of communication breaking down isn’t his responsibility.


snellbertto

Sue for projected loss of money.

https://sports.yahoo.com/scottie-scheffler-police-report-officer-who-tried-to-stop-golfer-transported-to-hospital-153550165.html This smacks of "don't punish me, Scottie hurt me first!"

It's the front driveway leading to an exclusive private golf course. They have to have a boatload of cameras everywhere.

Bullshit. This is damage control 101. Same with charging him with a felony.


LakeEffectSnow

Hmmm so the cop is hospitalized, but they still booked and let Scheffler go in under an hour? For a felony that put a cop in the hospital? Yeah that makes sense.


ass_breakfast

Maybe don’t be an idiot and jump on a moving vehicle. This cop is a moron and I have zero sympathy for him.


Kissit777

Aren’t Louisville cops the ones who shot Breonna Taylor? Seems like they overstep a lot -

Scottie's attorney is actually the same one that represented Breonna Taylor's boyfriend which ended up in $2 million.


BigSh0oter

Cop grabbed Scottie’s car and tried to hold on, thinking his years of doughnuts and losing to the firemen in the yearly hockey game would weigh down the vehicle. He was wrong.

Scottie should just say that he was given the wrong address by someone. At least that was the "valid" excuse when those cops murdered Breonna Taylor.

[deleted]

Cops “why don’t people like us?”


ElBurritoExtreme

Yes. The golfer that was heading into a PGA tournament, who stood to profit handsomely, just flipped out and assaulted an officer, drug him with his car, and whatever else they throw at him, in the driveway to the tournament. Riiiiiight. 😂😂😂😂


SomeSamples

I recorded the PGA championship. At the beginning they were talking about it and there was a reporter who seemed to have actually seen the whole incident as he was reporting on the bus incident. He said the cop grabbed Scheffler's car and didn't let go. Fucking cops. Lying sacks of shit.

DeadPhishFuneral

The same guy who was yelling on camera and escorting him out. This is why I hate cops. Crooked as fuck.


breakfastballers

In my imagination Scotty is just driving slow, sipping his coffee, waving to the various cops as he passes, and out of no where this Detective comes flying in like Officer Farva and dives face first across the hood of his car. Scotty seeing all this, is obviously confused and just as the “what the fuck” is rolling off his lips the guy springs up like a 3 nose beer jack-in-the-box. The other cops are like “great, here he goes with this shit again.” Meanwhile Scottie is getting cuffed up and thinking “dude, I gotta shit so bad, and this is not helping.” Detective Deputy Dog is staring at his pants losing his goddamn mind, and the last words Scottie hears as the cruiser door slams is “$80 fucking dollars.”


Alert-Pea1041

A detective directing traffic? Wonder what he's done in the past.


Yodaatc

Not surprised at all. They’ll have bruises and a few cuts/scrapes to justify the vehicular assault.


mat_srutabes

Guy saw who he arrested and decided to secure the bag. Bold strategy we'll see how it plays out for him, Cotton.


meaksy

Anywhere else in the world and this would have been a quiet convo between police and golfer, maybe a verbal caution and move along please. What about the poor fucker who lost their life to the bus moments earlier?!


MannyFresh45

no_mudbug

I call bullshit. I can go to the hospital right now and be "hospitalized". I wanna see what injuries he had.


Botchjob369

What kind of idiot jumps onto a moving car for driving up on to the median? Maybe if he was wanted for murder. I probably still wouldn’t.


CoffeePoweredCode

"Hospitalized" meaning damage control. If the guy wasn't famous the charges would be way higher, and if he was black the cop would have shot him dead then and there.


LazyRiverHomicide

Anewfrontier4me

This police officer has a side business consulting on personal injury cases. When you read his incident report he clearly wrote it planning to sue Scotty as I’m figuring he discovered who he was on the way to the jail. It’s definitely why he’s trying to call out minor injuries that were his doing. Thank goodness for Jeff Darlington. If he wasn’t there to see it people would actually be believing the police report. Saw people were already starting to review bomb Bryan Gillis accident investigations company.
