Can you get arrested for getting into a wreck with an police officer?

Answer 1

I suppose you can if it was your fault. It works both ways though.
Several years ago I left work early one day because heavy snow was forecast. The roads were clear but there was snow blowing and drifting. I drove through one area where visibility was low so I slowed my speed to do so but not slow enough to avoid the cop car parked in the middle of the road. The county sheriff was parked in the center of the road visiting with a friend. He had no lights on at all and when I crashed into him it about totaled both my car and his. He came out of his car bleeding from his head and made all sorts of threats against me. He told me there was no way I should have driven through the snow drifting (although he had just done so) and that no one else would and that I would be going to jail. Just then a large truck came through and just missed hitting the copper and finished off his car. The State Police were called as the county cannot work an accident involving one of it's own cars. The sheriff was ticketed for parking in a place with low visibility without lights. I was not ticketed and the county bought me a brand new car.

Answer 2

Yes if you were violating any law. Like speeding making an illegal turn into a sqad car. (Which was a fun one because we when rolled up on that accident to see the guy trying to talk to officer out of giving him a ticket.)

It would be better just to do a lot of "Yes officer" or "No officer" than trying to act slick.

Answer 3

Not unless you are DUI. Probably just get a ticket(s).

Answer 4

Depends on HOW it happened. If you were drunk, out-of-control, disobeying a law, etc., sure!

Answer 5

Depends on whether you were in the right , or not.
