Old-Timer Attempts Getaway, Runs Over Cop Car

By Jen Dunnaway

Editor

After being written a traffic ticket, 70-year-old Henry Raskin probably though he’d show his discontent with a badass peel-out in his Camry. What he didn’t know is that his ride was in reverse, and he ended up ramping it over the hood of the attending officer’s car, coming to rest with one wheel embedded in the windshield. Whoops. No one was hurt, though the fuzz is reviewing the in-car video to see how many things they can charge him with.

To manage this was simpler than you might think. The push bumper on the patrol car acted as a ramp when the Camry backed up, instead of just mashing bumper-to-bumper, caused the rear of the Camry to launch and drop onto the hood and windshield of the Vic. This wasn’t just your common drive-by (or over).

BTW, It was determined to be intentional by the old guy: http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=198346

I’m a graphic artist, and my main tool is Photoshop and Illustrator. This isnt photoshoped. 1: To chop up 3 photos all diff angles and make it all match up is beyond difficult. 2: There is light scratch dammage on the back bumper on the third pic, its undernieth and shadowed so its hard to see. 3: Also the shadows and reflections on the car serfices match up. The middle pic you can see the reflection of the cop car in the Camry.

These photo’s are all real

Imortal Kingz- did you read the artical at all?! I think we know who the dumbass is here.

And I definitly don’t think this is a photoshop. And if it is, then it looks like a good one, not a poor one. Although it is strange how it looks like the rear bumper wasn’t damaged.
