Thread: Rear ended by a cop

So I was on my way home yesterday from the grocery store in traffic on the freeway, listening to some tunes and enjoying my day .... dead stop in traffic then a big thud as I was hit in the rear end by someone in a big ford explorer. I signaled to change lanes through traffic to get to the side by an off-ramp when the car that hit me turned on his sirens to get to the same area. I was a bit surprised it was an unmarked cop car. Not much damage to my car after inspecting it thought it would be more. Called USAA to start a claim since I have a nice imprint from his liscence plate on my bumper now that I'd rather not have there and the insurance agent told me it's not uncommon for people to get rear ended by cops as a matter of fact he said it was pretty common.

I could tell the cop was a bit disappointed by me being squared away and having all of my papers in the car, Hawaii reg, current safety inspection and my USAA insurance card as well as my driver's liscence.

Anyone else been in an accident with a cop where they (the cop) were at fault? Just curious...
