December 6Dec 6 Popular Post Black Camaro doing about 90+, sideswiped me. Got him on camera, but between reflective lighting and how fast he was going, don’t think I’ll get a readable plate. He’s on screen for no more than 3-4 seconds. Fucking asshole. Not major damage, but a pretty solid sideswipe. For no fucking reason.
December 6Dec 6 Assholes. A red Charger damn near hit me on Parmer tonight as he was weaving through rush hour traffic like he was playing a god damn videogame. Someone did a minor hit and run on me five years ago and I'm still pissed about that one.
December 6Dec 6 Author Did they hit multiple people? He might have also clipped the suv on our right. No real hard hits, just clipped us.
December 6Dec 6 TxDot has these cameras along MoPac, maybe it can help the boys down at the crime lab with, y'know, leads https://its.txdot.gov/its/District/cameras
December 6Dec 6 Author Rubbing is racing?I mean, we were just mellowing out to some Rachel Price, an exit away from home. I actually saw him in my rear view, thought “he’s going to fast and is gonna cut it too close,” and he hit me about .2 seconds later. Hope his car is his baby and he fucked it up and his girl thinks he’s a dick and he’s not getting laid because of it.

December 6Dec 6 Popular Post @Brisketexan Sorry to hear that man. That sucks. Happy to help if I can, but these images are the dreaded combo of small and low resolution. They're also badly blown out by everyone's lights, but that part can be addressed dropping exposure under the Adjust Levels setting. I'd bet your camera captured them in higher resolution though, that seems quite low. Most of them are some form of HD now. Might be just how they posted on the web. I'm on a shit monitor, so this is the best I could do with this resolution. This is from the second image. You can see where the letters/numbers are, but the pixels are larger than the font of the plate. Pixels are smaller on the image where he is closest to you, but the black bar across it blocks anything relevant and the resolution is still pretty bad. If you can get better resolution, adjusting levels can make a huge difference. Find the highest resolution you can and send me a DM if you'd rather not post it here. I'll give it a shot on my better monitor later and see what I can get. Best luck would be probably the first image, or one near it, if you can fade the UI and get the black line gone. The closer the car is to the camera, the smaller the pixels of that license plate will be, and we need smaller than the font to read it. I know we've got photo folks here too, so one of them may be able to do a better job, and if you know someone with a Mac Studio screen, those are great for looking at stuff like this. Very accurate rendering. They've got a better setup than me and I can walk you through how to do it on that screen.

December 6Dec 6 Almost happed to us on 635 in the metroplex. Some asshole trying to speed past. We’re in the far right lane next to the concrete wall. Guy clips the back of a car at our 11 o’clock, sends it careening head first into the wall. Cars totaled. We lock up. Parts of the car hit ours. Cops got the fucker a few exits down.

Didn’t post it here because you don’t need to hear us yammering about the asshole, or whether I should chase him. It is amazing how fast he is in and out of screen. He was flying.

Eldest was sideswiped and the traffic ahead forced him to try and turn onto a side street. He crashed half a block into that street. Daughter called the cops. Showed them her damaged car. The perp was driving someone else’s car. Buda cops didn’t do shit. I couldn’t even learn his name.

Dallas pd definitely doesn’t want to deal with it. I was involved in one too and because I didn’t stay at them scene, they said they’d come take my report……but ticket me as well. So I guess I was supposed to pull off the highway, call, and wait who knows how long for an officer.

Therefore if you leave the accident location without making the proper reports with the Dallas Police Department, you have also violated state law, and our detectives will not be able to investigate your offense case.
December 6Dec 6 If Brisket knows of a good attorney, he can always sue the asshole. Probably worse for the guy than the police.
