sorry about that man sorry about that
[157]
man is all carl pelhewitz is getting
[159]
from police a few days after this crash
[162]
an insurance company for the police
[163]
department informed hillary that because
[165]
the officers are part of a city agency
[167]
and were responding to a call the police
[169]
and their insurance company are not
[172]
responsible for any of the damages
[174]
section
[175]
2744.02 of the ohio revised code
[177]
provides immunity to officers if they
[179]
cause an accident while driving and
[181]
responding to emergency calls as long as
[183]
the officers are not involved in willful
[186]
misconduct
[187]
this police officer may have been
[188]
driving too fast for the icy conditions
[191]
but that technically falls short of
[194]
willful misconduct
[197]
the officer did call for an ambulance
[199]
for the two-year-old child
[201]
radio send a squad here there was a
[203]
child in the car everybody's okay but at
[205]
least check her out
[219]
you okay sweetie i know that was crazy
[222]
dude i wasn't even going that fast
[225]
i came around the curve no you weren't
[228]
no you were going fast said pilahewitz
[231]
still the officer disagreed
[234]
and repeated his assertion about not
[236]
going that fast to a fellow officer even
[239]
he said he goes yeah i wasn't going it's
[241]
okay though yeah all right yeah he might
[245]
my shoulders are killing me from bracing
[247]

[281]

[283]

[284]
or get on at the next exit or the next
[286]
entrance
[287]
west of my location
[294]
[Applause]
[298]
god
[302]
are you the owner of the truck okay
[306]
an owner who has been left bewildered i
[309]
did what i needed to do said billy
[310]
hewitts i pulled over and i was hit and
[313]
now i am responsible for all the
[314]
financials i'm just a blue collar guy
[316]
you know thousands of dollars is a lot
[318]
of money out of my pocket to buy a truck
[320]
i was proud of that truck what if i
[322]
didn't make it out of there what if my
[324]
daughter didn't get out there the police
[326]
are not liable you caused the accident
[329]
be responsible for it i don't care
[331]
whether you are the law or not you
[333]
caused the accident
[335]
[Music]
[343]
the police department chief is declining
[345]
to talk about financial responsibility
[347]
or liability in this case he says it is
[349]
up to the insurance carrier to handle
[351]
any claims but again the insurance
[353]
carrier is refusing to give the driver
[355]
anything
[356]
as for the overall incident on february
[357]
the 4th the chief of police is calling
[359]
it an unfortunate accident and says the
[361]
entire department is relieved no one was
[364]
physically injured still financial
[367]
injuries matter too
[368]
and if the police department and its
[370]
insurance carry out even an ounce of
[371]
integrity or shame they would be doing
[374]
everything they could to help mr
[375]
pilahuits raise money for a new truck
[377]
the police could start a gofundme drive
[379]
or use their social media pages to draw
[381]
attention to the financial difficulties
[383]
mr billy hewitts is now facing because
[385]
of them
[386]
but instead the police are hiding behind
[389]
an awful state law and essentially doing
[391]
nothing
[392]
legal experts say that the code as bad
[394]
as it is may indeed block mr pillay
[396]
hewitts from getting a financial
[397]
settlement from the police or asking for
[399]
one still the experts point out there is
[402]
no state law that stops or prevents
[405]
police from doing the right thing
[407]
ethically and morally one of their cops
[409]
responding to a crash rear-ended a
[411]
driver who had thought that he did the
[412]
right thing by pulling over
[414]
the police owe him and his two-year-old
[416]
daughter financial help and some kind of
[418]
acknowledgement beyond just sorry about
[421]
that man
[422]
lawmakers in ohio should also get
[424]
involved in helping mr pillar hewitts
[426]
and in changing the state code this
[428]
liability protection for police and
[430]
their insurance carrier
[431]
is reprehensible
[433]
