different rims....

Tragic all around... no doubt.

Also looks untinted unless all the glass is entirely shattered to the point that it is invisible (although the tint would make them stick together).

Interesting.

he was trying to sell the car for a few months now, probably sold the rims already. i actually said it on another forum, he shouldve kept the wheels on, those things are impossible to speed on.

I have seen that car around, come to think of it.

I get that too, but he was charged with DUI even though the breath test taken showed he wasn't. That's kind of what I don't understand and makes me wonder if the rest is true. They have nothing to base the DUI charge on other than a State Trooping "believing" he was intoxicated.

Lopez said a car clipped his car. Not sure if this adds anything to clear things up, but it tells a different story:

"NY driver arraigned in crash that killed policeman

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island man has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving, assault and other charges in a crash that killed an off-duty New York City police officer.

Jonathan Lopez, of East Meadow, was arrested early Sunday following a wreck on the Southern State Parkway in Massapequa (mas-uh-PEEK'-wuh.)

Police say Lopez crashed into the rear of a car driven by 25-year-old Kevin Jessup, who later died.

Jessup worked in the 106th Precinct in Queens. He joined the NYPD in July 2008. A passenger in his car suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say Lopez also hit another vehicle. That driver was treated and released.

Lopez, who is 20, was arraigned Monday in a Nassau County courtroom. Cash bail was set at $50,000.

His attorney, Fred Pollack, declined to comment."

SSP has cameras on every mile, I'm sure this was captured on camera.

Mostly. If your under 21 your done no matter what you blow. Also. 08 is considered intoxicated and. .04 is considered imparred in ny. Theres no such thing as a "Legal Limit" of being imparred in driving ability. Now adays anything for anyone doesnt matter. Youll get locked up reguardless of who you are even if youve had just 1 beer.

ok let me tell you guys a little something that WAS NOT REPORTED. the dirt bag in question (lopez) was drunk and REFUSED a breathalyzer test at the scence of the accident. when he finally toke the test of course he was going to test below the legal limit. also this biased news report failed to mention that lopez was in possession of marijuana and was possibly high at the time. also just becuase this guy is a police officer is a not reason to place blame on him at all for not wearing his seat belt because im pretty sure not everyone on this forum wears their belt at all times. that being said i hope this guy rots in jail...you dont know how bad i wish ny had the death sentence

Jeffblue

i am so confused...

I don't really like to drive at weird hours of the night because there are usually more drunk people on the road.

Did i mention that i'm totally confused? but yea NY has 0 tolerance. If you are under 21 and caught with any BAC thats no good for you.

Cmike2780

I don't think anyone is placing blame on the officer. It's tragic, but he would have likely survived if he was buckled in. I don't condone drinking and driving the slightest bit. I have personally gone through a family member that was nearly killed by a drunk driver and strongly believe there is zero excuse for it. I just think all the facts should be on the table and this guy provided a fair trial before passing judgement.

im not saying anyone here is placing blame on the officer but that news report tried.. i mean yea he wasnt wearing his seat belt but come on give the guy a break his dead now.

I find it hard to believe that if there was marijuana on Lopez it would not have been reported, I also find it hard to believe that it wasn't reported that he initially refused to blow.

The officers on scene just decided to drop any possession charges out of the goodness of their hearts, to someone who just killed a fellow officer?

He's involved in the death of a police officer but the media is covering up to protect him, yah right......

It's a tragedy that the officer died, and my condolences to his family, but 'some' responsibilty falls on him for not wearing his seat belt. Police know better than anyone else what happens when you don't. Likely his death would have been avoided.

As for the death sentence? Was the officer your brother or something? Not saying Lopez is an angel but death sentence for a DUI?
