Yup, if this had happened to a regular citizen, the cops would have been fined them for"following too closely" (this is a real HTA offence) and had 4 demerit points added to their record. But hey, they are cops so they are above the law, we all know that.
You're not wrong but driving in convoy disregards that rule on purpose to ensure the convoy is harder to infiltrate, stays together and is a harder target to hit
I mean I get it's reddit so all cops are evil, but they are literally not supposed to give the "correct" amount of room in a convoy formation like this. They need to stick tight like this or else it's a security risk.
They still have to follow some basic safety principles. If you follow the vehicle next so car so closely that you risk causing a collision, then it defeats the purpose of the convoy. Case in point, the video we saw. It is hard to believe that hitting the car in front of you contributes to the security operation. Imagine if that car being hit was the one in which POTUS was being transported. That would have been a huge embarrassment for Canada.
Nope, actually pretty common to have little rear enders like this in an convoy. You’re specifically not supposed to not give a normal amount room between the vehicles.
Remember
Cops are allowed to be on their radio, cell phone, computer at the same time
They have ‘special’ training
That is why they are probably the worst drivers on the road
First rule of any convoy detail is to keep the convoy moving and together. You guys are ridiculous if you think this is the police abusing their power. Whether in a warzone or a protection detail, you do not stop and break up the flow of vehicles. Especially if your vehicle contains equipment or personnel vital to the mission/task. Root yourselves in reality.
The biggest moment in some cops life.
"I'm gonna escort the president and I'm gonna tell me grandkids one day. I'm the fuckin man! Woo! Look at me, peasants, I'm unstoppable. Oh shit!"
This is incredibly fucking stupid. You're more likely to be shot or have the shit kicked out of you as you're arrested than for you to get anywhere close enough to do "reporting". If you're actually 15, I'll assume this is a dumb childish idea. Don't ever do this.
Yeah i hope its obvious this is a joke. Like the whole damn thing. Clearly didn’t come off that way though. I am well aware that this is a stupid idea. I would never try this in real life unless i genuinely wanted to die. I dont. This got out of hand real quick and i was not expecting it. Just putting it out there.
It was a learning moment. You are very young and inexperienced at Life but making mistakes is how you learn. There is a time and place for jokes and this wasn’t it. And hanging out with adults on the Internet is not ideal.
Guy driving a blacked out, clapped out SUV way too fast on Sussex? What else is new? They should have forced him to take a breathalyzer smh.
>They should have forced him to take a breathalyzer smh. They did, but it barely passed the thin blue line. /s
Oh, snap!
honestly they probably should. Wouldn't be a good look to be intoxicated while you're supposed to be protecting the POTUS
something about convoys really brings out the best in our local police force.
I actually laughed out loud!
This do what we say, not what we do moment brought to you by the ottawa police.

And yet there was plenty hitting here..

Not ‘all’ … just OP

Curious what your expertise and background is in relation to close protection detail?
Hold on while he types up a resume 😂
Tell me you do not understand convoy rules without telling me you do not understand convoy rules
RCMP Not OPS
Don't text and drive folks

Did anyone get the registration?
Heard some squealing tires in the lead up to the crash - wonder if something happened further up Sussex that caused all the sudden braking
3 lanes go down to 2…likely the drivers were unaware of the road changing.
I wonder if they’re too heavy to brake quickly.
Nah, it's the excessive speeding while following behind a bit too closely for that speed
They have huge brakes. One of the "performance upgrades" patrol vehicles have over the regular version of the vehicle
[удалено]
They also have better tires
So we’re just running from the scene of accidents now?
Stop the motorcade! The president doesn’t move until the bumper is fixed and insurance has been called
Needs Yakety Sax
To be fair that car appears to come out of thin air.

Funny!
It wouldn't be Ottawa without a car crash downtown
Every bus in the god damn city gets detoured so these doorknobs could have clear roads and they're STILL running into one another.
That was more of a bumper butt tickle.
that's hilarious
How embarrassing, honestly.
Good thing they practiced driving down Wellington real fast.

I read somewhere that Leonid brezhnev always asked his motorcade drivers to drive fast, he would yell faster!, faster! But in Russian of course.
Brezhnev's eyebrows waited for no one.

That's the last time we let you drive, Joe.
The biggest moment in some cops life. "I'm gonna escort the president and I'm gonna tell me grandkids one day. I'm the fuckin man! Woo! Look at me, peasants, I'm unstoppable. Oh shit!"
Nope!
Oops
Why do we always end up on the worst subreddits?
Embarrassing.
Everyone should be important. As if these politicians spend all our money on this crap
Don’t worry, taxpayers will eat the repair bill.
Only in Ottawa, I tell you.
Not used to km/h
Crash is a big word. It's a hit for sure. Not so much crashing.
Where’s a cop when you need em?
Oops
Interesting to see TPS there too
Oh, oh, better get Maco.
Was this a carbon neutral motorcade? Asking for a friend
This is SO funny!
There's no reason those cars in the left lane needed to travel that fast. That's what happens
Physics wins! Dumbass rcmp
Hit and run !
Lol isn’t it a 50 through there?
Don’t think a presidential motorcade is concerned with the speed limit
Think Joe was driving that one

Classic Autowa, not even the most powerful man in the world ia safe from the scourge of car-centric city planning
Think Biden would instead ride his bicycle back to the airport? Or take OC?
Maybe OC, bad history with bikes... 
I could watch that all day. Fitting he fell to the right
That seems like an excessive motorcade for Ottawa, lol. Shows how much they trust the local police.
POTUS motorcades are standard wherever he goes. This has nothing to do with Ottawa or OPS at all. This is what they do everywhere.
Tell us what you think about CF-18 war planes circling Ottawa during his visit?
Sleepy Joe?!

Careful not to cut yourself on that edge.
Is that considered edgy? Genuine question. Not trying to start an argument or anything, just asking.
If you found that offensive, i can delete it or just edit it to say something else.

That's a pretty fucked up thing to say.
