Road rage is a very real and very dangerous issue in America today. All too often a simple honk of the horn can end in a wreck, violence, or worse. However, when the person who rages carries a badge and a gun, they can claim legal authority to ticket, kidnap, cage, or kill you. Kieran Walsh, a 59-year-old Marine veteran, and partial amputee learned the hard way what a cop's road rage looks like when he was left stranded on the side of the road last month.
Walsh, who suffers from diabetes was on his way to pick up medication on November 27 when he noticed a car barrelling dangerously toward him.
Walsh then briefly honked his horn as the car came "flying down" the street. It was an unmarked police car, occupied by Officer Stephen Salot.Because Salot claims the authority to detain people for victimless crimes, he moved to pull the person over who would dare to honk at him. "Evidently he didn't like that," Walsh said of the brief horn beeping.
Since he can't exactly tell Walsh that he pulled him over in a fit of road rage,
Salot told Walsh that he pulled him over because his handicap placard was hanging from his rearview mirror while he was driving and this allegedly obstructed his view.After Salot had him pulled over for the non-crime of a hanging handicap tag, he then noticed that the sticker on Walsh's license plate had expired-music to the ears of this would-be tyrant.
