This reminds me of the time I was driving by a school zone on a major road. It was 9:30 and well past school starting so I didn't even realize it and was doing about 50 in a 35 school zone (once again, big road not a normal school zone). Saw a cop on the side of the road out of his car and he looked at me and pointed and moved his hand towards the way I was driving. I assumed he was just telling me to drive on as I had no idea I could be doing anything wrong.
So I kept driving and a couple minutes later the cop pulls me over and is livid. He's telling me how I was going to kill kids and I blatantly ignored him. I just calmly explained I had no idea it was still a school zone as no school starts after 930 (it was almost 940 by this time). I also explained why I assumed he was pointing for me to drive past. He was super hostile and I was lucky not to get arrested. He wrote me up 5 tickets, my favorite 2 were for having an expired registration AND displaying it. I literally had the new registration with me in between the seats and showed it to him and explained I just hadn't had a chance to put it on. I didn't argue though, it was clear he was in "I'm the Captain now" mode. Just said "Yes Sir" a lot and didn't fight with him.
Then I went in for my court date and got it all dropped, no lawyer involved.

Classic 48 hour rule scenario.
They are saying he went 10 yards. My guess is the cop grabbed the side or something and Sheffner had no idea what he was doing and so he stopped. Then lunacy ensued.Tramp96 said:
Question for the resident LEO's here at F16:
Is jumping on a car in this situation like a normal procedure and directive that they were trained to do?
I'm just having a hard time believing that cops are directed to jump on a car for something as minor as someone trying to go around the incident.

True but there is some truth to it here, though it would be better described as class privilege instead of white privilege.
Cops arrest people for no reason on trumped up BS charges thousands of times a day all over the country. They are trained to do it. Scheffler because of who he is will get out of it today. And so would I after hiring an attorney. But a lot of people can't and end up in prison for BS like this. Happened every day.

Ive had the same thing happen with the sticker before. I had the new one but it wasn't on yet. Cop made me make a mess of pulling the old one off without a good blade and putting the new one on. Then he gave me a ticket anyway. Some of them are good. Some of them are on a power trip.aggie93 said:

Dear Louisville KY:
It will be a long, long, long time before you ever host a major again.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I personally think the biggest issue is the good ones who don't yet have the maturity to let stuff go, have a sticky situation, and that results in them decompressing by being a jackass to somebody later.Quote:

From all accounts, this doesn't seem like something Scheffler would do. It would make sense that if, as aglaska mentioned previously, other pros were told to drive around it.
To make it political.....

Yes. The players are usually given courtesy cars by the vehicle sponsor of these bigger events, so like an Escalade if Cadillac sponsors it, during the week of the tournament.IndividualFreedom said:
He should not have complied, cussed the cops and then start creeping his hand into his waist line. Isn't that how it is supposed to go?
On a serious note, does the #1 golfer in the world drive himself places?

Or have a Top 50 player attend any event you put on.
Cops ego tripping because he didn't follow their hand waving.
Seems like it was a major oopsie on LPD.Quote:
"He was going into Valhalla to work out," Romines said. "He was getting ready for his tee time. They were directing traffic. He held his credential out and was going in like they'd been instructed to. Apparently, there had been a traffic accident, maybe even a fatality, down the road, and that had changed the traffic patterns, and he was unaware of that."
Romines, speaking outside the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, said the officer who attempted to stop Scheffler wasn't part of the regular event traffic detail at Valhalla Golf Club, "so that's where the miscommunication arose."
"They are allowed to go through, that's why they have the credential and the wave-through," Romines said. "He was unaware there had been a wreck, and he proceeded like they'd been instructed to. He did exactly as he was instructed to enter the premises."

Yeah, it's a bit hard to land a private jet on golf club grounds
Please please release video of the cop jumping up and down on the car. That is too rich!Agthatbuilds said:

Seriously? Do you have to have room temperature level IQ to be a cop?
have you not noted the average IQ of cops? this is the least surprising part of the story.
Ok, got some more context. Scottie asked Darlington, ESPN reporter, for help. The cop's statement makes more sense now.
Scheffler turned to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, 5-10 feet away, and said, "Can you help me?" Darlington, said the officer came back to him, he identified himself as a media member, and the officer said, "There's nothing you can do. He's going to jail."

In college I had a car I was fixing up and the day after I got it running I took it to get it inspected. CS cop gave me a ticket for expired inspection...in the parking lot of the inspection shop. Most police are good but there are a few on power trips. Also helped 2 officers detain a subject and one threatened to arrest me for embarrassing him. What a tool
Teeing off in minutes.

That's quite a rap sheet for an otherwise model citizen
I hope Scottie fights this.
Agreed. Hopefully the cop didn't injure Scheffler when he grabbed Scheffler's arm to try to pull him out of the car.
Talk about an eventful week of firsts for Scheffler:

As an LEO, that cop had his head up his azz and way over reacted. While it is common working a fatal crash scene/road barricade to have people driving the wrong way/around barricades and turn out to be drunk, you don't jump onto a moving vehicle to stop it.
Also have to be more aware of where you are and that there is a major event just yards away from where your scene is. If a car is slowly driving around a barricade contact the driver and see what the deal is. If they have proper documents, figure out a way to get them where they need to go.

The only person who will face any real consequences may be the officer that jumped on his car. Aside from embarrassing his department and (apparently) ignoring what other officers had told other players, I can't imagine any department approving of officers throwing themselves on moving vehicles as a means of traffic control.

The thing I have taught my boys is if you get in a situation where a cop is on a power trip and wants to argue with you just be as calm as possible, say yes sir a lot, and deal with it later. Some cops absolutely get off on the power trip thing and want to use that power. You will lose if it is just you and a cop every time so just comply and then show them to be the idiot they were when you are in court.Jeeper79 said:Ive had the same thing happen with the sticker before.

As long as Sheffner didn't make a fuss after being pulled over he is almost certain to walk.
Oh, and every kid approaching driving age should watch this video, they use the race stuff to make it funnier but it really has nothing to do with race it's about behavior:
