Only if there’s video evidence they can’t confirm if the pedestrian crossed without right of way? So driving a deadly weapon, shouldn’t you be a little more inclined to yield to anyone not protected equally? Like pedestrians are one of the major things to look out for besides bicyclists and motorcycles. Hard to see, unpredictable. “But man, if he’s in my lane, fuck him.”
Cops think they’re above the law, including (and especially) traffic laws. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if video shows that the cop was fucking around on his laptop or whatever and paying zero attention to his surroundings, believing that the intimidation aura of being in a marked car would just create a bubble around him.
