I'd say he should go buy a lottery ticket!

The PD will get sued for stopping her at the tree. If a tree falls on a traffic stop, does it make a noise?

"That's the one, true way to get out of a ticket, ya know," Veach said. "Everyone asks a police officer, 'How do you get out of a ticket?' If a tree falls on you, you're probably going to get off."

Haha I'd have to agree with this, unless there is a corpse in the car you're probably going to catch a break from me in this scenario.

I would have been written up after the video review, for the string of expletives that would have automatically been uttered.
I tend to go all Tourettes in situations like that.

Same here. I probably would have been taking a 3 day rap after the 10 minutes of straight f bombs that would have flown with a citizen nearby.

He can probably skin her for a cracked windshield as well.

Stuff like this happens. I worked with a guy who parked his cruiser and got out of it just before a tree fell on it and crushed in the roof.
