In addition to sexual molestation at every airport in America, the government provides a full range of services. They will even detail your Ferrari.
The government: bringing you services only Uncle Sam can provide.
Quote : | "FBI Officer Crashes Drug Dealer’s Seized Ferrari F50
Ben Wojdyla — Full size
Police are blaming "bald tires" on this accident, which occurred while an FBI agent drove a Ferrari F50 seized in a drug raid to a storage warehouse. We'll blame the V12 and a heavy hoon-foot.
Considering its swoopy carbon fiber bodywork and limited production numbers, we're betting the agent did at least five figures worth of damage with his off-roading adventure. We see a torn up front end, side skirt, rear fender, front fender and door... on second thought, we might be looking at six figure damage. Hopefully they get a prosecution on this suspected drug dealer, otherwise the agency will be footing a substantial repair bill. [WreckExotics]" |

Hey, I have an even better idea for the first post.
The FBI crashed a drug dealer's Ferrari. No other comments necessary. 4/16/2011 2:34:15 PM |

yes, the government does get molested at every airport. Many congressmen, governors, etc get the treatment. 4/16/2011 2:39:55 PM |

Instead of blaming bald tires, they could blame driving the car instead of having it towed. 4/16/2011 2:52:10 PM |

Bald tires...lol. Even if they are bald that's no excuse. You know how many people are driving around on bald tires right now and not wrecking their shit? The agent who did this should just own up to the fact that he ran out of talent. 4/16/2011 2:56:42 PM |

The tires were probably fine before the agent started it up
and WTF you changed the OP. It was much funnier when you implied that the government was molested all the time at airports. 4/16/2011 3:33:22 PM |

while both statements are true, I wanted to be grammatically correct
eventually society here could devolve into just two g-men standing in an airport terminal groping each other indefinitely 4/16/2011 3:34:41 PM |

Thanks to the officer's hot dogging the suspected drug dealer is absolutely guaranteed to be prosecuted, jailed executed. Those in authority aren't above committing one crime to cover up another.4/16/2011 4:29:35 PM |

Horsepower doesn't go on and off like a light switch. The officer had full control of how far he pressed the gas pedal and how much engine output was created. No fucking excuses.

^ ^ yeah homeboy, but if he can afford a F50 I hope he can afford a top-notch legal defense
If I were his lawyer, I'd be loving this right now
botching a material asset of a defendant can play into public sympathies
I thought you had to go to driving school to be an FBI agent. I wonder if he's on desk duty now. Kinda has a hollywood feel like FBI agent goes rogue...

Well suing the government over the wrecked car won't mean shit if he was never entitled to recover it in the first place. And since it's the Feds, they usually have their cases locked down tight by the time they actually prosecute. You can be damned sure that wrecking the car wouldn't ever be admitted in any way towards a coke conspiracy charge, or whatever the FBI was dealing with here. There's a reason that if you go to trial in federal court, you're almost always just arguing over the penalty, not the guilty verdicts. Don't imagine that it's anything like state court and that Law and Order shit.
While this is a black eye, that's about it. The only way this guy would get his car back anyway is if he would have won at trial AND can prove that the funds used to purchase it were legit. Often, even when the government can't win at trial, they keep all the shit anyway.

Are we really blaming the guy for crashing a ferrari that belonged to a drug-dealer?
If I seize control of a ferrari bought with drug money, fuck it man, I'm playing with house money. Who cares? It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Good on him.
Asking an FBI agent not to speed in a seized ferrari is like asking Tim Tebow to not circumcise little Filipino boys. It just ain't gonna happen.

I think this was absolutely done on purpose. Maybe the dealer did something to piss the FBI guys off, and they planned to wreck the car.
Knowing full well that if the guy did ever try to get his money for it from the govt. they would just tie it up in red tape forever. 4/16/2011 10:02:32 PM |
