https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/05/05/but-for-video-wisconsin-deputy-badly-injures-woman-in-crash-attempts-to-blame-victim/
"To this point, this looks like a story about a bad cop who possibly tricked his colleagues into helping him cover up an accident he caused by blaming it on the woman he nearly killed. But it gets worse. From Fox 6:
The truth might never have surfaced were it not for video from a nearby airport surveillance camera. It shows what investigators say is Deputy Quiles squad car traveling west on Hutsteiner Avenue, then continuing onto Howell without making a complete stop, as Quiles claimed in his report. The Sheriffs Office knew about the video just two days after the crash. But no one told Weyker.
Instead, the County sent letters blaming her for the crash and threatening legal action if she didnt pay for the damage.
Of course, if Weyker was drunk, it would have been easy to pin the blame on her. But less than a month after the crash, test results showed she had no alcohol in her system. And by July, her drug test came back negative too. Five months after the crash, it was clear Weyker had been stone cold sober."
