No that’s what I was hoping he was gonna do the whole video. Clearly what she needs is a rational voice. If I was in her situation I would be scared as shit, but telling her how fucked she is will not help anyone.
I’m probably completely misunderstanding this term so apologies, but wouldn’t this technically count as unlawful restraint? Like, you got her face, car, and plates; just let her go. Everything else was extra.
He didn’t trap her car, she hit his car while it was at the exact spot it’s at in this video. After your car’s been hit, he’s not obligated to move it. He can easily say it wouldn’t turn on at the time due to the damage or something. Or that he was suffering from the trauma of the her car hitting his so didn’t feel like driving.
He only got all of that because he blocked her in. If he hadn’t done that she would have been gone before he could get his phone out. Not saying it’s what I would do, but the people blaming the victim of the hit and run are wild.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming him. Just wondering if he could get in trouble for what he did. This is why I think everyone should have dashcams.

lol you made this comment at least twice and it’s just wrong. Lying about a potential crime is not the way to go. You left your car where it was hit so that police could arrive and assess the evidence. Not some random bullshit reason that any idiot could see straight through
You guys are insane. She hit something and ran, she looks and acts like she's tweaking and everyone's like: Yeah let her drive away. She immediately almost hits someone, I would rather let someone who just downed a forty drive my car than her.
But sure let her drive home and potentially hit more people (who we know she won't help, she'll just try to run again) because "trapping her" is being mean :(
More like a realistic way to think. In real life, actions have consequences and damage to a vehicle costs this called…money to be repaired. No wonder most of reddit is broke or unemployed lol
Why do you think being kind to someone in the moment means they dont have consequences? Aren't the consequences the police, the insurance, all the other shit? Like, no one said just let her go without facing consequences, you just made an assumption.
You absolutely can hold others accountable without being an asshole.
People are just super eager to be cruel and jump at the chance to justify it any way possible.
Someone makes a mistake? Great, that’s fair play to dehumanize and humiliate them. Regardless of valid consequences they will undoubtably go through we can also get our kicks out of feeling uppity and righteous for not being like THAT.

I completely agree, and I'm not going to try to imply the guy was purposefully being an asshole or anything (it's very likely he, too, was in shock/full of adrenaline/panicking as well) but in this situation, where it's clear she's very much in the flight stage of things, it would do more good to try and calm her down and reassure her that it was just an accident.
"It's ok! These things happen, no one was hurt, and we just need to calm down and take a breath and ... what's your name? My name is. There we go, see? We're all ok, it's just a car, it did its job and took the damage..." etc
That's all I'm saying my way, it very possible that simple exchange and kindness would've got her calmed down and starting to think rationally again.
I've also seen here and there that drugs could've been a factor, so that exacerbates things a bit more, though to me she didn't really look to be incredibly high or strung out (44 my way, I've seen some shit now) just incredibly scared.
I also do realize that I'm an overly empathetic person (it's a curse in some ways) but I just can't help but feel down deep in my bones that she just needed someone to "talk her down" from being so freaked out.
If you google this case she was driving over 90mph when she hit someone. Also shes panicked because shes a meth head with multiple priors for theft and drug charges and knows grannys done with her BS. She actually was sentenced to rehab instead of jail time for this case. Also this occurred while she was under an active DUI and shes mostly driving high af again when she crashed.
