Well at least he apologized, I guess..
I had an asshat DPS officer that worked my accident. Tried to say that the reason I crashed was that I was going so fast that my front wheel came off the ground. Being as I was riding a '93 F2 at the time, I would have to really work to get that bike to wheelie (being as I've never wheelied a bike, I wouldn't even know how).. and there's no way I was trying to do that going 40mph on a back country road.
But then the guy also was trying to question me in the ER while I was vomiting blood, and then threatened my mom with a ticket for trying to "impede the investigation" when she tried to insist on staying with me when they took me to CT.
