I find it hilarious that people are complaining about getting speeding tickets in CT. In my 25 years of cross-country driving accumulating 2 million miles of driving not even as a trucker, CT and parts of New England is by far the most lenient for traffic enforcement. Y’all are going 80-90 in a posted 55/65 down route 8 north and south as a tiny example.
It's sad this trooper lost his life but let's be honest, police forcing drivers to stop on the side of 65+ MPH interstate highways is much more dangerous than most of which they were initially pulled over for.
@@ThatGirl-ku5dq What is more dangerous? Driving 10 MPH over the speed limit or sitting still on the side of an interstate highway for 20 minutes while vehicles and tractor trailers are doing 70+ MPH within feet of you? Go ahead, answer honestly.
How about making it mandatory that they pull people over to the nearest parking lot and NOT on the side of a busy road making a huge distraction to other drivers
Some state police ask for this type of stuff to happen to them by punishing those who wish to find a safe place to pull over. I've seen too many punished and weapons drawn on them just because they wanted to find a safer place to pull over further down the road. If drivers were allowed a reasonable time to find a safer place to pull over without consequence then tragedies like this would happen allot less. Even if it took 2-4 miles to find a safer place when being pulled over it should be okay long as the time it takes is reasonable but I've seen too many videos where an officer says "No you have to pull over immediately no matter what" then we continue to see stories like this.
They are doing it to themselves. And then have these copaganda parades. No one else gets a parade not ems fire department doctors surgeons chefs only these crooks
This is sad but no human life is worth more than another. Especially when your out stalking for revenue. No since wasting so much tax dollars for 50 60 officers when a average fatality may have 4 or 5. What was the justification for so many resources ?
He was hit by a drunk driver who fled the scene, who was caught shortly thereafter. Interstate 84 is the major highway here in Connecticut and the entrances and exits are quite close together in that area especially. Thanks to our Connecticut State Troopers, all exits and entrances were closed very quickly, probably preventing additional people from being hurt and killed by the drunk. Lanes in the opposite direction also needed to be shut down by police for both safety and the accident investigation.
What a shame… I see more it and more people driving drunk, using their phones, running red lights/stop signs etc. Just this morning a driver in front of me made a left on a red light, not yellow but full red at a big intersection. And not long ago at this intersection a child riding his bike was killed.
Cops doing this all the time talking on the phone and texting while driving they should give example for society but they love to be above the law hope this tragedy will give as some wize thinking that we can wait with phone call till the end of the driving.
Hearing the news from my mom was not easy for her to explain. The family is still very broken and in shock 😢 Thank you for all the support, thoughts and heart felt words. My mom along with the rest of the family appreciate it very much. Prayers are always welcomed❤
@@legionk9884that cops are just crooks wearing a costume that will abuse the weak rob the innocent and will be cowards and liars in the face of a real threat.
Condolences to the trooper's family and friends. Driving in CT on 84 always scares the hell out of me; the speedsters and recklessness of so many bearing CT plates is astounding.
If Connecticut is serious about crime and motor vehicle matters, how about starting with a 3-Strikes Felony Law? If you commit 3 felonies, you'll be locked up for life. That law would have prevented this death as well as the Cheshire Home Invasion a few years back.
@raweckifilms4425 i feel bad for the family and i hope he go to better place to meet our father in heaven but it's just stupid to harassed people for seatbelt on busy highway and put own and others life in such a danger so sad.
I feel for the family and law enforcement.. Just to point out , there’s a awful lot of state police cars getting hit vs well marked local police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and tow trucks. It’s easy to notice officers stopping that truck. All un marked state police cars with h heavy tinted windows with all those lights flashing, not one state police car has its roof mounted light bar on . Officers should be wearing safety colored vests for high visibility.
I think police officers need to stop looking for trouble. The traffic stops are ridiculous. They are a reason for citizens to be harassed. There is real crime happening and yet these cops are tasked to do these ridiculous things. Had this not been a task he would still be alive. Instead the state of Connecticut greed for revenue in tickets is the issue. This isn't protect and serve. This is a disgrace
Is anyone tracking the number of fatal accidents BEFORE these seat belt tickets went into effect, compared to after? I bet the tickets haven't made the slightest difference. They don't make the public safer -- and in fact put the public in danger, as evidenced by the death of this trooper. Have cops stop crime, not write up meaningless tickets.
The governor should be ashamed of himself This man gave his life for this town and wouldn’t fly the police flag He’s not a patriot So sad Pelletier had only one thing after he gave his life and that was respect from the town and they couldn’t respect that and wouldn’t fly the police flag Instead they flew the flag of weakness to this country I’m beside myself for this corruption of a man’s last standing God bless the family cause the town doesn’t have her back Totally disgusting
I was just headed up to get on 84 West but saw East is completely unusable. This happend like 5 hours ago and just now it's entirely police cars with their lights on driving the left lane and cop cars parked in the right. No passenger cars at all, they have it blocked off still.

“Target Fixation “ should be taught to all drivers and how to avoid it
BIG difference when John Q Public gets hit & one of their own gets hit??
Probably was making a illegal stop and paid the price.
As a CT citizen, I can really feel this and may he Rest in Peace and Paradise.
WTF does you begin from CT have to do with anything!!! 🙄 Y'all ALWAYS want to make yourself a part of the story!! 🤡
He just had to write that ticket.
Sad loss

Well that low fatality rate is due to the work police does on the highways.

Whenever you try to pull over to a safe spot these troopers try to drum up more charges and flip their lid
