Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Wow! Whatever really happened here at least EO appears to have handled it well. i wonder if the open container and this cause for field test was for packing a lipper.

I believe Goodell could technically still suspend him but I wouldn’t deem that likely as he was proven to not be breaking the law.

Bulldog Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Good news! Wonder what really happened here? We will probably never know. Hope that Oliver leaves this "incident" behind and moves forward to concentrate on the upcoming season & making himself the best player he can be. Hopefully we'll be seeing Ed cause large amounts of mayhem in the Jets backfield on opening day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Wow. 80 mph in a 45 mph zone with an open beer = no charges Me going 38 in a 25 MPH zone last year = $90 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now you’d expect there is no other action from them league especially now that he has proof he wasn’t doing anything wrong but was arrested anyway, which feeds into the systemic injustice issue... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else at a minimum would get at least a speeding ticket, open container, and you can argue criminal negligence during that fast with an open container even if legally sober. Im happy he’s going to play most likely as I don’t see the NFL (not saying Goodell as he doesn’t rule on that stuff anymore with the new CBA so can’t blame him for everything) doing anything about it. It would be nice if he simply learns from this incident as so many people who get out of something do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been suspended in the off-season On traffic arrests like this they wait until court is over before a suspension is issued. They sometimes will still suspend players if the arrest was a bad look for the league even if charges are dropped. In this case I can't see Oliver receiving any type of suspension.

I do not believe they can charge someone with a traffic violation based on hearsay (a phoned report) but perhaps I am incorrect here? I personally would not want to be able to be charged with something because Citizen Cathy called the police and reported that I was driving 80 mpg in a 45 mpg zone and driving erratically, unless there were some corroborating evidence of this. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people get screwed in municipal courts. The judge knows the prosecutor, the prosecutor knows the cops, the cops know both. And your defense attorney is usually familiar with them all. Unless you're looking at a license suspension or big DUI fine you're better off pleading guilty, pay the fine, and save the expense of a lawyer that isn't going to do much of anything for you. It comes down to your word against the cops and guess who the judge is going to believe? If there is video it will be supporting their case. If there is video supporting your case it got accidentally erased. The whole thing is a revenue generating racket for the towns.
