    THIS is the reason we say "photos or it didn't happen".

          Make sure the photos cover the whole time span of the incident...

          "I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light,"

          I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she'd stopped at the red light...

          But she'll learn from this. Next time she drives, topless, into a cop car...

        Well, it says 'topless'...

      You should be careful what you wish for

      Though in this case you will probably not hate what you see.

      There is a mitigating circumstance too - she is blond.

    Entrapment

    Let's see: dark street ... police car stopping on the road with no lights ... Texas police ...

    This is entrapment, any topless women could have fallen for this trick, it's another heinous police profiling case!

    Let's all march in support of all topless women ... well, some really shouldn' but ... : Topless female drivers lives matter!!

    Of course Paris, she has bravely shown more.

    There is a joke in this somewhere about deploying airbags, but I can't quite formulate it properly.

      I was thinking more along the lines of the radar being switched off, but go for it.

        She couldn't properly formulate the deployment either. Have you been drinking wine too?

      If it helps

      Well on the the BBC website it did mention that her airbags were deployed, sorry I meant the car's airbags were deployed.

        "...or headlights?"

        Exactly what I was thinking.

        Officer, she was only trying to get a little more light on the road, go easy on her.

    5. EddieD

      She just stopped at the lights, and all of a sudden a policeman's helmet was poking through the window, examing the body of evidence. He radio'd for advice and was told "Roger, and out..."

    Police posting her picture online is an infamy

    Nailing her to the wall in front of the entire World is a disproportionate punishment for her mistake.

      Re: Police posting her picture online is an infamy

      Harsh, certainly. But once she's had her 15 minutes of humiliation, her life will go on - unlike the lives of hundreds killed on the roads by drivers trying to do stuff with their phones while driving. OK, in this case she only bent a plodmobile, but it could easily have been a child. It's a message which needs propagating, and you can't blame the plod for taking every opportunity to highlight it. After all, they are the poor buggers who have to deal with the bodies on scene, and inform the families, when the impact is a fleshy one.

          Umm, actually my mom once backed into a police car. No, she wasn't topless when it happened. I was in the car with her at the time, although, given that it was 50+ years ago, I wasn't very old. Fortunately, it was a very low speed collision, with no damage done (Cars were MUCH more well built 50+ years ago.).

          I thought I was the only person that thought "What, the rest of us don't count?!" when seeing a typical "think of the children!" statement.

        Ok so let shoot her because she could have hit a child instead of a police car, so she deserves it.... BTW I am surprised cops didn't shoot her... she was probably lucky not to be black.

        I doubt humiliating her will save anyone life.

      I would agree with your position about posting her photo if this was an unusual thing for the police to do.

      However, pictures of law breakers have been publicly posted since long before cameras were in use.

      "...when the officer whose car had been hit approached Rader, she was trying to put on her blouse"

      If you assume the officer is female, then that sentence starts to become a little ambiguous and then we start in the whole boom chikka wah wah genre.
