re: #99 mroop

Arguably.

But there’s intent to run the roadblock and to put the lives of those at the roadblock at risk. The cop avoids serious injury only by luck.

If you’re the prosecutor, you’re framing this as intent to run the roadblock without caring about the safety of the law enforcement manning it.

If you’re the defense lawyer, you’re arguing that running off the side of the road was to avoid hitting the cops manning it and that it was accidental that the cop was even in the path of the vehicle.
