The city will not be reimbursed for her bad actions, but need to send her to jail for several years to justify no payment. My family has been stung badly by people driving under suspension and having no insurance. When caught after doing injury to anyone else, they should lose their freedom for a long while. Some teeth are going to have to be put into the law to stop some of these law-breakers!!

dummy driver

suspended license and no insurance

she shouldn't have even been on the road

not to mention that she was at fault,

you always yield when trying to cross in front of traffic

as a matter of principle- the city should sue her for a new car and injuries to the officer and Mizell should sue also for his personal injuries

there are way too many of these drivers driving with suspended licenses and no insurance

the only thing to do is impound their cars and revoke their license indefinitely, or boot them until they have proof of insurance and valid license

I agree this woman was in the wrong, but we also have to remember police sometimes drive very wreckless. I have seen police speed through town when if a civilian was to go one mile over the speed limit they are stopped. They will also turn the flashing lights on to go through a red light.
Everyone don't get in a uproar because I am not defending this lady she shouldn't be driving without her license & insurance.

bull

picture and hitcock, pure bull

as many miles as the police put on the road, and as few accidents as they are really in, I say they are very careful...

plus witness states that the cop was moving with traffic, so obviously NOT speeding

and when police do speed, how do you know they are not responding to a call? and that's what their lights are for when they are responding to a call and need to get on thru a light.....

get real will ya..... go to municipal court one day and sit through the caseload- way too many suspended license cases, the court is packed with them, literally..........

He had his lights on, but no siren....as he flew around a curve. Not the norm, I know, but some do take advantage of the power.

If you see an officer speeding with lights but no sirens there are often calls that require them to come in that way, they are not just abusing the office.

I had an unisured driver who was driving under suspension run a stop sign in front of me causing me to wreck. My insurance company had to go after him but the bad thing was the office didn't issue him a ticket or arrest him. We do need tougher enforcement for those breaking the law.

If anyone is full of bull it's you. You are either a cop, extremely dumb or in denial because police DO speed & run red light & it's not when they are responding to a call. It's because they can do it & get by with it. They also park in handicapped spaces. Lazy bums!
Not once did I say this was the policemans fault only that they do break the law. From the article she was definately in the wrong.
Oh yea I know for a fact that when they travel they can turn the light on & speed.

Police cruiser or not, just plain old common sense dictates you shouldn't pull out onto on coming traffic! The issue with police speeding may very well be a valid one, but this story is only a microcosm of some of the VERY poor driving habits I see in this state. No signals, running red lights, no right of way and as in this case, total failures to yield to oncoming traffic are just some of the few.

I don't know about Mississippi Laws,,,,,But Louisiana Police have roadblocks all the time checking for invalid drivers license and NO insurance!
Frankly I think it should be done in every state so some of those idiots that think they won't ever get caught driving with no license or insurance can be stopped BEFORE they are involved in a wreck!
Over here in Louisiana,,,,,not having insurance will get your car impounded and it isn't returned to the owner until they can show proof of valid insurance!

Wishing you all a speedy recovery! It really bothered me that this woman didn't have any more care for her child than to be driving without insurance,,,,At least for his sake if not for her own or an innocent bystander!

Don't be too quick to complain about road blocks for insurance. AZ has cameras to catch you running red lights, cameras to catch you speeding, road blocks for drunks, and can now give you a $120 ticket for the license plate frame if it doesn't meet the specifications of a new law.
Red light runners and drunks have killed many people, so I have no objection to ticketing the drunks and putting them in tent city for a year.I have no sympathy for the drunks serving time in tent city . The poor darlings can do without coffee and eat green balogna and sweat it out for a year or two.If one cannot afford insurance, he or she should not be driving. Muggle mentioned the innocent bystanders.Unfortunately, they are usually the ones to be killed or maimed by careless drivers.

I'll bet you she'll be driving again in under a week. This is her fault, plain and simple, but the thing is nothing will be done to her.

Muggle, you are right-- Louisiana has roadblocks set up on a regular basis by local, parish, and state police, checking for DUI offenders, insurance, license and registration, child restraints and even seat belt violators. La. State Police issue press releases to media a day or so in advance stating that they will have "checkpoints" and then minutes before they start stopping cars, they actually issue a press release stating the exact location....and they still catch numerous violators of all of the above. I don't feel my rights are being infringed on because it is little more than an inconvenience of a few seconds --unless i am breaking the law.

I was rear ended at one of those check points outside St.Francisville some years back . One car caused three cars to receive damage and one person injured . The officer comes running with his pen/pad . I looked at him and thought , hell dude you caused it ! This officer had cars backed up several hundred yards . I thought a prisoner escaped from Angola . Come to find out they were only checking license/insurance registration . How asinine that a road block could be set up for something so trivial . People could have been killed that day . I'm sure that people and officers have been killed at those so-called check points . A stopped car looks like a moving vehicle to a drugged out driver .

I lived in Louisiana most of my life. I still work in a small town in Louisiana.Any checkpoint I've been thru had numerous police units with lots of lights..most of the time they are set up at/near an intersection that drivers should be stopping at anyway. The officers check for valid driver's license, proof of insurance, sometimes registration, inspection stickers, seatbelts, child restraints, DUI suspicion, etc.
So moan about people not having insurance, then call checkpoints to check for that as trivial??
These checkpoints are a minor inconvenience intended to make the roads safer for me and my children.
And afterall, if I have to pay for auto insurance that is required by law shouldn't everyone?
When I see one of these checkpoints, I just pull out my license and insurance card, roll down my window, hand it to the officer who -- smiles, sees that I have my seatbelt on, that my children are buckled, my grandchild in a child restraint seat, and hands my stuff back to me and tells me to have a nice day.I return the smile and say "Thank You."

Using "da" is ok when you are texting someone but not for writing a comment on a place where all of Natchez and other places will see.

Mr. Mizell wasn't in the wrong here. If it had been his fault his car would have been struck on a different place not the front right side. Also it's funny how Mr. Mizell was strapped down on a stretcher with no one knowing exactly his condition yet the other person in the wreck got up and rolled their neck around thinking no one saw them do that after they complained of neck pain and had a neck brace on.
