School district facing $1 million lawsuit after student injured during 'promposal'

A lawsuit claims a Chandler principal and school resource officer knew about a plan for a student to run a stop sign, get pulled over, and ask his girlfriend to prom.

[@k.g.8503]

He was going SO FAST. That was completely unnecessary. He could have accomplished what he wanted by slowly rolling through the stop sign and having the cop pull him over. That way, he would have seen the motorcyclist and stopped in time.

Back in the 60s we had a real jerk with money, had an expensive race car. Had a whole bunch of rich jerk friends. Used to brag how he could take the curve at 160 mph. Car was light, engine was oversized, and the bunch of the rich jerk friends kept telling him he was lying, so 6 of them piled into his race car with him. He took it up to 160 He wasn't too bright when it came to book work. None of them were, I unlike those of us they beat up every day and got away with it. Clearly knew nothing about physics. Myself and another of their daily victims listened as they talked. Despite them being sadistic monsters, I told them not to do it. I told them the added weight would change the way the car would react and there was no way adding 1000 pounds was going to be safe. They gave me a few really nice punches knocking out several of my teeth. At the curve was a tree. BIG huge old 4 foot diameter tree. He raced down the back road for 3 miles, getting up to 160. He turned the wheel at the curve, but the race car just continued straight, wheels left the rubber streaks on the asphalt as it went straight ahead, 160 mph, into the tree. The sound was like an explosion, like a bomb went off, from a mile away. All 7 dead OH, you would not believe how much drama there was. How much blame was put on everyone except the rich kids. Had that been 7 poor kids, they would have not cared The families sued everyone and they made the highway department redo the road. There is still a curve but it is very minimal. Not the 30 degrees it used to be. The tree is still there. Parts of the car grown around the car parts mangled into it from the crash. So, this rich kid will get off Scott free.

@broseywales5538 ... according to the accusation of the kid. Saying there is no dispute does not actually mean it's true, agreed upon, or in any way beyond dispute. In fact, rarely, if ever, is the term used when there's no dispute. If it was a fact, it would be listed as Officer John Doe stated. He told the kid it was okay to run the stop sign. Notice the rest of that says things such as kid said this, kid maintains that, ect? Is there a chance? Sure, but as of what's presented here, there's nothing supporting your accusation other than the kid said. The kids' accusations are highly improbable and outrageous. You need ironclad proof for a claim that insane. Rolling the stop sign is more probable but still out there, agreeing to let the kid speed not even remotely believable. Even if they agreed to the kid rolling the stop sign. Fire them definitely, but that in no way can be linked to responsible for the kids insane speeding thru the parking lot and stop sign. However, lawyers go after money, not responsible parties. If they can find any way to link a party that has money, they'll definitely find themselves in the lawsuit.

​@@rodtee4894Probably knee jerk racism. I'm speculating, but he/she probably hates to see Black people sue, even when it's quite evident, a valid suit.

[@jenkor513]

The really stupid part is they could have just pulled the student over claiming he was speeding. No actual infraction was required. The ignorance level of both the principle and the cop is astounding. That kid needs more than a million. Traumatic brain injury is a lifetime injury. Severely limits the different career choices he had.

[@thekoupekid]

$1M?? I've heard way less situations get way more. I'd be suing for at least 10M, this is just ridiculous on all accounts that they all let this happen. It happened right in front of the cops eyes!! They're lucky the kid is still alive... Entire school would be shut down forever and the driver would go to prison.

[@travismiller5548]

Also, the lawyer will take like 40% of any potential compensation

The student who ran the sign should also be held accountable the SRO probably assumed he wouldnt be so reckless and actually look to make sure he wouldnt hit someone.

Lawyers earn their contempt the old fashioned way. Taxpayers are left on the hook for something they had no blame in causing.

Exactly. Go where they can get the most money.

[@roybatty-]

The lawyer is going to go after the parent's car insurance policy. Max payout for whatever coverage they have and any supplementals. Then they will probably file a separate lawsuit against the school but that one will be much harder to cash in.

​@@redhothchilipeppers6299 It's exponentially easier to get a payment from auto insurance. That's what insurance is for and they WILL be paying. It is easy to sue the school/city and it is winnable. However, collecting actual money from the city is a different story. Not impossible but a bit more of a challenge.

Lawsuit isn't enough. Need to see some charges for those involved.

[@davidrader1856]

Ridiculous. When the officer agreed to it he was probably thinking he would just do a rolling stop, but still be safe about it. And then the kid thought "he said I could... so Im gonna REALLLY run the sign."

[@myronlarimer1943]

Entitled kids, thinking that everything they do needs to be a dramatic moment in their lives. Just ask the girl out. Walk up to her and say, “Would you like to go to prom with me?” And by the way, why is a 17 year old kid driving a Porsche? Again, entitled kid. Yes the school officials and resource officer, based upon what was presented in this video, should be held accountable, along with the kid in the Porsche.

[@demariosreefaquarium7475]

Hold on a second a stop sign is a stop sign no matter where it's located. My grandfather told me if you come across a stop sign in the dessert you stop. Period. The student driving that expensive car means his family has $. Let them pay 1/2 & the school pays the rest. 😮

[@user-rj4vr2sc2d]

The principal and officer hold partial blame here for allowing it to happen, but there’s no way they could have known the student was going to go 40 MILES PER HOUR. They probably expected him to roll through it at 5mph. He was being cocky because he got permission to break the law. The blame should be 90% student, 5% officer, 5% principal

[@annesullivan2993]

The prinicipal and SRO should both be fired and the SRO should probably face criminal charges for this. This goes beyond stupid and if the school district and police fail to take strong action on this, it teaches the other students a horrendous lesson about "pranks" and irresponsibility.

This kid and/or his parents need to be held liable as well. Just because it was on school grounds shouldn't mean a free pass for injuring another student.

[@FireMadeFleshII]

2:45 Wth?! Then what's the point of having a Stop sign in the parking lot? Private property or not, you can't throw out BASIC driving regulations--things that are meant to keep people safe from situations just like this--because a plan you authorized went awry. I've worked security for a number of gated communities, facilities, (etc) & the rules of the road still apply. That student must've been a child of someone on the faculty because no way should that be acceptable. He should've been cited & charged. Sending healing energy to the motorcyclist & I hope he gets his justice! 🙏🏾

[@lacedrobitussin]

this right here was why….. if he wouldve stopped he would not have hit that motorcycle guy

[@FireMadeFleshII]

@lacedrobitussin Exactly. It should be even more incriminating because this occurred within a school zone, which typically requires motorists to drive well under the speed limit (5 to 15mph). There may not have been signs specific to speed in the parking lot per se, but a stop sign & his failure to stop is an even clearer indication this kid should be held accountable

[@lacedrobitussin]

That same kinda thing happened at my elementary school. The principal thought it would be funny to set off the fire sprinklers on the last day as a joke for the kids. He did that. When he did, a student slipped and cracked her head bad. The principal said he didn't know why they went off and tried to blame it on a kid. He was later caught and fired.

[@joelstiffler5137]

It comes to mind that the kid in the Porsche could have run through the stop sign at 5 mph and been ready to stop for the motorcycle if he had been paying attention to the traffic and achieved the same plan. This was idiotically criminal. I hope that the injured kid sues each of them for 5 million apiece!

[@Refresh636]

Right and his stupid statement practically not even apologizing. Guy blew threw that sign blind at least 50+ not 40mph. Cop needs to be fired or something as well, that's crazy they "planned" that.

The individual(s) who have the documentation of any alleged plan to do this are liable, the driver of the vehicle included... if not 'holding' a confirmation of the plan and that it would be a lawfully" closed course", as video production companies must adhere to since it was a pre-planned event and confirmed by it being recorded (intentionally or by CCP, which could be claimed that CCTV footage would later be used to promote the "promposal", aka. staged and authorized event). If a certified professional was not on site and this was authorized by a LEO and/or a school Administrator, then both of those parties are individual liable also.
