At first I thought the cop was an idiot for throwing on the lights and driving over.. Then I realized it was probably to protect the rider..

There's a huge thread about this on my local board about whether the cop caused it or not.

But for the life of me I keep reading the title as "don't let poop scare ya".

I think its a bad spot to park period, can easily distract anyone comming around a turn like that. Or even cause someone to fixate and hit the damn car.

What if it had been a deer? Or a kid? Or a bike? Or another car?

Cop may have 'caused' (in a roundabout way) the accident but rider should've been better.

Looks like someone just grabbed too much brake. I've been in this situation before up at the gap when you come around a turn and there's a cop. At that point, you are already leaned over, it's not like you are foolin' anyone. Yeah, put on some brakes to maybe decrease your speeding ticket, but come on, if you are riding like that, you gotta know that once that knee is down, you aren't foolin' a cop.

If hes on the right side of the road and not breaking hte speed limit is he realy breaking any laws by being leaned over?
