How fast were they going? >> How fast were [Applause] like 25 >> only like 25 >> and they're in the right land. >> Yes. >> So they thought that the bus was going to stop. Yeah. >> So then they slowed down and that's when the car slammed into them and they slammed into the bus. >> All right. Okay. And she hasn't gotten out of the car yet. >> She got out while I was there cuz I told her to get out and she like >> Yeah. >> Asked them if anyone else in the car with her. >> They didn't see anybody out there. >> No license. >> She has no license. Huh? >> She doesn't have a driver's license. She smashing this and then the guard off. Well, damn. >> No driver's license. You definitely cooked. I mean, you This is a tricky one just because I mean, obviously, hold on. Obviously, she's drunk, right? So, she's definitely going to be in trouble for that. But I mean it being three cars like that. I mean I know you the one that hits the person from behind is the one that's always in the in the trouble. You know what I mean? It's just it it's just the nature of the beast cuz they're going to say you you shouldn't have been tailing too close or whatever. But if this bus was going at a normal speed and then he he's goes to a, you know, pretty much to a halt and then the that car in front of them all of a sudden slows down and now you kind of like it's it's come on. Like that's it's it's crazy. It's crazy. It's not fair. And they always going to blame the person that hit them from behind. You know what I'm saying? I've been in a couple of accidents, so trust me, I know. All right. Something very similar to that happened to me years ago when um I was I was driving on the highway or whatever. A car two cars ahead like I was the last one. There was a car in the middle and then there was a car in front of them. And we we all are going like traffic is like 70.

You feel me? So, I tried to make a stop, but my car was my brakes wasn't nah. So, I slammed right in the back of him. Boom. And I actually ended up hitting a lawyer, which is the crazy part. I ended up hitting a lawyer. And when the cops showed up and everything, the c the lawyer explained what happened cuz that one car the car that was two cars ahead, he just took off. Like once we hit each other, he kind of just took off and you know, so it was it was just an accident with us two, but really it was caused by the the first person, but obviously I get blamed because I shouldn't have been traveling that close and yada yada yada what you know what I'm saying. episode. Of course, it's my fault. But that lawyer, man, he was cool as heck, man. And he know Listen, it it he almost hit the car, you the the car that was in front of him. So, it was like it was just crazy.

[Applause] >> She had a press in there. >> Pretty sure it ran off valid. >> Erica was charged with DUI and battery on law enforcement. She appeared in court the next morning in custody where a judge found probable cause, declared her indigent, and appointed a public defender. Her bond was set at $1,000, which she quickly posted, securing her release later that day under a no alcohol condition. But within weeks, prosecutors quietly dismantled the case. On May 4th, 2023, the state attorney's office declined to file the felony battery charge and instead downfiled the DUI to a misdemeanor, transferring it to county court. The move effectively killed the felony case and by August the $1,000 cash bond was refunded to her shity. Wow. Well, that's why people do what they do, man. Overall, they get no punishment. No punishment. Man, that car was smashed up. Smashed up. And it's like it's not like whatever. She was bombed, man. There's no excuse for that. I mean, honestly, no excuse, man. But whatever. Um, yeah. So, I think the officers, they could have did better, man. I would have, man, I would have got her up out that car fast, boy. They they sitting there pussyfooting around. She playing around. Oh, I don't know my Miranda and all that. Like, man, man, get her together, man. This I feel like this dragged on a little bit too long, my personal opinion. So, I'm giving maybe a three out of five. Um, it was all right, but it dragged on way too long, man. Anyway, uh, let me know in the comment section how well you think the officers did. And, um, if you enjoyed this video, there's going to be another video right on the screen. So, you know what I'm saying? Click on that one. You feel me? You know what I mean? Rock out with your boy. So, I'm going to catch you in the next
