Hit-and-run driver 'panicked' as he ran over police officer's leg, fleeing RBT

The Adelaide District Court has heard how a pastry chef who ran over a police officer's leg at a random breath test stop on New Year's Day 2019 panicked, because his license had expired.

"Since the assault, I have had a reoccurring dream where I was hooked up by the car as it drives over me and dragged along the road being torn to shreds by the bitumen," Mr Petts said.

Who cares about those brutal police thugs anyway.....they're a disgrace of humanity.

Yeah well Samuel was a bit stupid and aggressive taking away the keys. Would you stroke a cat that you had never met? Maybe its OK, maybe its a feral cat and its going to bite you . You have to factor this in.

why are those reporters so close? No fine? A good story to promote PoliceRights... And AmbushJournalism SocialDistancing... it has its advantages...

Reaching into a vehicle to extract the keys obviously has risks. Why not utilise 'stop sticks'?

they way the police panic and shoot people can not really blame him

Whom amongst us hasn’t

Panicked? Maybe it's mental illness 🙄

I hope the judge panics and sentences him to 10 years.
