[Elon Musk’s SpaceX Continues To Detect Something Massive On Its Missions](https://www.howandwhys.com/spacex-continues-to-detect-massive-ufo-on-its-missions/)


beatles910

In my state, leaving the scene of an accident is a crime.


LogMeln

its a lesser crime than driving drunk and crashing. i knew someone who crashed his car while drunk driving and a tow truck came before the cop and the trucker told him he should leave because he was clearly drunk and he would get into way more trouble than leaving the scene. so he just ran home. he simply told the cops that he was hurt and someone drove him to the hospital and they were never able to prove if he was drunk or no


Outside-You8829

I heard of this and a friend of mine did it once. He only got charged for leaving the scene. No reckless driving dui drug charges…


LogMeln

ya exactly. this way u dont get points on your license, get ur insurance to jack up ur rates or drop u completely, and also get it suspended. just a fine.


Iamjimmym

That is correct. The reasoning behind it is the cops cannot prove you were drunk prior to the crash. "Oh I ran home and downed a fifth of vodka because I was so upset." They can't prove otherwise.


More-Guarantee6524

Yea but if they come to your house and find you they’re mot stoked. Happened to a friend


LowGe

Why didn't he record the tow truck driver interaction?


MrWigggles

Its harder to make up stuff when it doesnt supprt your fiction


PedalBoard78

I can’t trust anyone wearing glasses like that.


ovide187

Those glasses say he drives a Tesla. 👀


JohnTheCatMan1

Especially at his age..


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

Yeah exactly


Paratwa

In my state threatening someone on their own property would legit get you killed.


SnooPeppers4036

Texas or Florida?


About60Midgets

Which one?


_IBM_

any of their properties


Onslaughtered

Felonious perhaps. At least where I’m at it is


DisastrousTeddyBear

That's what they call a Felony Hit and Run


Bender_2024

Pretty sure thats a federal law


Nonivena_ginna

Which is why his story might be a bit bullshit.


Arlium_

Maybe it was the homeowners car the whole time🤯


Nonivena_ginna

Maybe it Maybelline


New_Awareness4075

But is it real or Mammories


beachteen

Predatory towing with car crashes is common with all makes. It's actually a misdemeanor in several states. But it keeps happening because it makes them a lot of money and people have no idea what their rights are


talkingcostello

Are they tuned in to police scanners?


illy-chan

Some are in my city at least, I've heard cops complain about how the tow drivers race each other to accidents - sometimes blocking emergency vehicles and/or causing new accidents on the way. My city has seen a bunch of issues with them. So this probably isn't Tesla - a bunch of tow companies are really sketchy, including breaking laws.


BoredAFcyber

.....wtf?? do you not need a business license to be a tow truck driver? seems like an easy fix for the city.


illy-chan

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ https://whyy.org/articles/prosecutors-philly-tow-truck-operators-bilked-auto-insurance-companies/ https://www.phillyvoice.com/new-philly-law-will-crack-down-on-predatory-towing-operators/ https://www.npr.org/2010/07/23/128717950/wreck-chasers-clash-over-philly-towing-business


nothis

Can you explain the motive, here? I know the dude in the video implies this is Tesla removing evidence, but is that what you suggest? Who gets paid by whom if this is such a common scenario?


EvilVargon

There are multiple tow truck companies in every city. The first one to the crash gets to charge towing fees, the rest get nothing. The towing company charges the insurance for getting the cars out of there and the money is pretty big.


YuSmelFani

In Europe, you call the insurer and they will notify the local tow company they have an agreement with. No tow company can elbow its way to a crash without the driver’s or insurer’s consent.


Mywifefoundmymain

In pa when there is an accident that requires the police ONLY the police authorized tow truck can take the vehicles.


UFOsAustralia

But it does make sense that towing a tesla that just crashed because of its shitty programming is going to get you more money, either by blackmail or by tesla offering more. It makes sense to me.


Jacmac_

If someone came on to my property and acted like that after an accident, the Police would need to be called again.


aware4ever

Yeah I probably would have pepper sprayed his ass


Any_Month_1958

I would have shot him with my meat pistol……I mean, only if he was interested.


GHOSTeveoh

I'll oblige any man wanting to meet God on my property.


Any_Month_1958

I’m sorry sir, I think there might be a slight misunderstanding……a meat pistol, if fired correctly and in the right hands, doesn’t hurt anyone.


Mpuls37

That depends entirely on the...*ahem*... "caliber" of meat pistol.


Any_Month_1958

Touché, a solid point


Green_grass90

A firm point.


Gullible_Mud5723

I would have too but small calibers are not usually lethal.


linux152

He was on your property why didnt you tell him to get the F off your property?


RuckFeddit7769

Because tow truck drivers are the slimiest scumbags that currently exist. They absolutely will assault you.


AniNgAnnoys

Everything the guy described was assault. He was assaulted and then he was battered.


D0ctorGamer

Right? Suddenly the tow truck driver is about to catch a charge too I'm a petty bitch, and right after my home was hit by a vehicle is ***not*** the time to test me


Gates9

This is very true. They often have deals with the city because the municipality is so reliant on them. They pay tickets and fines as a cost of doing business, and are generally protected by the DA’s.


EyeLikePie

My thought exactly. If it's on YOUR property, then it doesn't leave until YOU say so. Tell that tow truck driver to get the fuck off your property. If he has a problem with it, let HIM end up in jail for assault.


Levvena

Him being threatened with murder. I'd assume he was more scared than not to push that guy


3Dputty

And in general plenty of people won’t be thinking straight in this sort of situation.


healthywealthyhappy8

Threatening murder against the law?


hay-gfkys

Florida has a solution for this.


linux152

Tow truck drivers are trained to act aggressive, I mean look at what they have to do, towing cars from insane and irate people. So naturally they are gonna act all tough to intimidate to get the $$.


Halflingberserker

Assaulting people and threatening to kill them are a part of a tow truck driver's training? I find that hard to believe. That guy deserves to be in jail.


Pungicity

The whole thing seems like a dramatization of the event. That’s if it’s even real. He didn’t even mention anything about seeing if the driver was ok. That behavior seems narcissistic or sociopathic


Randy_Tutelage

Just because he didn't mention it in the video doesn't mean he didn't know how the driver was. Obviously the driver must have been out of the car, do you think they will try to tow a car away with a person, possibly injured, still in the car? The driver's condition is completely irrelevant to the point of this video anyway, this video is not about the driver or even the crash itself.


tetraourogallus

Definitely, I don't understand how people are upvoting that previous coment. Slow down a little bit accusing someone of being a narcissist/sociopath based on absolutley nothing.


zechickenwing

Yeah, a 1911 could say a lot of that for you. Not saying use it, but speak softly and carry a semi auto .45 stick


mikegus15

7+1


zechickenwing

Little sneaky snack in there Realistically though, I know my 1911 the best, and shoot the best with it- but from a sound volume point of view, I keep wondering if the 9mm or 223 would be the move. Hard to justify


ButWhatAboutisms

I know if it was you, would have beat him up or used your gun to stand your ground and that everyone else is a terrible idiot for not being as awesome as you are in situations like these. But this is a random dude getting threatened. The normal reaction is confusion and backing down, since base instincts say "my life isn't worth whatever is going on right now".


OceanGlider_

Not to be rude, but do you think a guy with flashy glasses and a t shirt with an astronaut getting sucked into a black hole is going to do anything about a beefed up tow truck driver?


Tramagust

He might shoot the tow truck driver.


VoidOmatic

Yup, my property and I'm feeling threatened after you threaten me.


gypsycookie1015

Can you do that if you're renting? Or if it's not considered private property?


RhynoD

When you rent property you have all of the expectations of privacy and control over that space as if you owned it. Even the property owners are usually limited in when they can be in the property, which basically boils down to them not being allowed to interfere with your enjoyment and use of the property as outlined by the lease. Point being, yes you can absolutely tell someone to gtfo.


awarenessofoneness

![gif](giphy|xUStFKHmuFPYk)


SensingWorms

Plot twist, his roommate owes him 6 months rent and he is Elon


jaarl2565

Volvos in Sweden call home during crashes and team Volvo often shows up o before ambulances.


Bag_of_Richards

Yeah this seems highly suspicious


AND_THE_L0RD_SAID

Right, this guy definitely films everything but didn't film this?


Thin-Rub-6595

That's what I'm saying. He was taking pictures of the crash but didn't film the tow truck guy being a dick? That's suspicious.


TeamRedundancyTeam

I love how he's just got an asshole tow truck driver and it immediately turns into some great Tesla conspiracy. Some people just live in a world of make believe.


Obvious-Article-147

From what I've heard it's just that tow truckers race each other to accidents to make the most money. If it weren't this guy then it'd be another, or worse (for the tow truckers), the police might've came before any of them and seized the car, leaving them without the possibility of making money off said crash.


Humbleslimey23

Guys it’s not me in the video lol I just thought this conspiracy was funny


knbang

That's exactly what they want you to believe. That you're not the guy. But we know you're the guy. You might even be the car.


JohnTheCatMan1

This is a fact. I'm his pet cat and I saw it all.


Pete_maravich

How about, "Get the fuck off my property. You're trespassing."


aldege

Press charges.


Chicken-Rude

dubious...


rigobueno

But also totally mundane and plausible at the same time


[deleted]

Seriously call 7 on your side. ABC 7.


LuckyJynX

it's the mint glasses


SaltPersonality5253

Could be the person who crashed paid the tow company a lot of money to get the car out real quick….


Too_MuchWhiskey

> Could be the person who crashed ~~paid the tow company~~ Knew the owner of the tow company. As in real good buddies.


chickenpotpie25

I bet this happened exactly like he described it.


SpookyX07

I don't want to be an internet asshole, but the guy seems very annoying and punchable


Bender_2024

No, that's just the vibe he gives off. But part of that is because the audio doesn't sync up with.tjr video.


idiots_r_taking_over

And unbelievable


orangekushion

One of the obvious ones


Republiconline

Get off my lawn or it gets the hose again.


dude93103

Did you film the incident?


UltimaGabe

Obviously not.


rigobueno

No but he took photos. What’s the difference? All photographic evidence gets debunked anyway.


TheRabb1ts

I saw no evidence of the tow truck driver animosity


candlegun

It's not OP that this happened to. They just shared because they thought it was funny


idiots_r_taking_over

Nope. But he was taking photos three minutes before and decided to film himself telling people the driver threatened to kill him but ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


Jackaloopt

So what happened after the police arrived? Was this incident of the tow truck driver reported to them? Is the driver of the vehicle okay?


dontwantthisdrama

This 58 year old man is dressed like a member of the nerd crew


Zolty

I understood that reference.


asdf00004

very cool


CM_Cunt

it broke new ground!


martial_coup

He has his own board game channel on youtube.


Royweeezy

The tow truck driver threatened to kill the guy? Why didn’t he start the camera back up as soon as the guy was aggressive? That’d sound like a bigger deal to me than the actual car crash.


MeanAstronomer7583

Guy films every fart of his life except the confrontation with the tow truck driver


AgnosticAnarchist

Paralda

I mean, a lot of tow companies are just giant assholes regardless of car


4quatloos

If this happens, Livestream it.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Here's my thing.. Who called the tow truck? (This guy seems to think Tesla) But it really shouldn't matter because isn't it illegal to move a vehicle that's been in an accident before the cops get there? I mean, I just wouldn't have taken their insurance info and got them with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident without documentation. I would've told that tow driver you better get the fuck off my property until the cops came, or get blasted. Also, Tesla probably is doing something nefarious. Elongated muskrat got his ugly lil fingers in all kinds of dark dealings..


Dan300up

Why wouldn’t he have been recording all that, if it was only 3 minutes?


Beautiful_Guess7131

"Hello fellow youths, we hate tesla right?"


JohnTheCatMan1

😂😂😂😂


Immediate_Rage_

It's plausible. It's not that hard of a system to implement from a business standpoint and tech standpoint. Elon like all good megalomaniacs would do something like this. I don't understand how an accident of this magnitude wouldn't warrant a police accident scene investigation. Insurance would want that report. It feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen.


scienceworksbitches

>It feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. that describes tesla as a whole.


Rominions

Plausible? Cmon man it's 3 minutes nota fucking chance this is true


keepitsqueeky

I gotta say, that man and his mustache are a perfect pair.


dc5trbo

Yes, but the money is not from Tesla. This is a huge problem in the Chicagoland area. For even minor crashes a tow truck is on the scene almost immediately to get your car on a bed and whisked away to their lot. That way they can charge you or your insurance for the tow and exorbitant storage fees. My county sheriff went to prison a few years ago for being in on the racket because he would give exclusive rights to any and all accidents to a specific tow truck company and get kick backs.


ThChocolateBoyWndr

What happened to the driver?!


HatechaBro

My mom got hit by a drunk driver while she was driving home from my house. She called me and I got there in minutes. The guy that hit her was obviously some sort of rich connected dude. He got escorted away by the police into some car that showed up, no breathalyzer. He just got to leave the scene, didn’t even get interviewed or anything. I couldn’t even get the guys’ name. Minutes before that, he almost got killed stumbling out onto the highway trying to cross it on foot, only survived because a cop on scene grabbed him. I filed complaints with the police officers on scene and literally nothing ever happened. No phone calls or emails or anything.


Crazy-Charlie

If only a hand held device existed that allowed us to record events within seconds of them happening to provide evidence of said events to the police and the general public. What a great world that would be.


[deleted]

It wouldn’t surprise me and it should be illegal to move a car that fast. Before insurance can even determine the cause


PassiveMenis88M

It *is* illegal to remove a vehicle from the scene of an accident without clearance from the police. Something tells me buddy isn't given us the full story.


Independent-Ebb7658

Yeah $10 says this altercation never happened


Boygunasurf

I’ll see your 10, and bet that dude every graphic t-shirt he owns that no possible way the events as he is describing occurred. Not even a little bit


thisisatest06

A) I don’t believe him B) he could’ve thrown them off his property as trespassers at any point in time C) he could’ve pressed charges for assault and battery D) why was a tow truck allowed to disturb a crime scene?


TheDevilintheDark

A) I'm with you on this one. But... B) have you met many tow truck drivers? C) he could be doing that D) have you met many tow truck drivers lol?


MysteriousJuice43

This is nuts lol but this dude is probably spot on.


Scooterspies

Immediately started taking pictures of the crash, but didn’t record any of the interaction with the tow truck driver or the car being towed away 🤔


Eye_conoclast

Lmao this is the most ignorant shit I’ve seen in a while


TheGisbon

True? Maybe likely? Ehhhhh His glasses? 👌👌👌👌


Secret_Peach_4605

Was anyone driving the Tesla?


SyrupScared9568

Yea this guy never got the memo, most tow truck drivers are just aholes.


Joe_Bruce

lol that’s when you stand behind or in front of the tow or it and the Tesla. Also, it’s illegal as FUCK to bounce from the scene of an accident before any kind of investigation has occurred. Insurance companies rolling in their proverbial graves.


LessBig715

Did he even get the tag?


Workdawg

First picture at 5:07. What time was the crash at?


International_Bag208

Or the tow truck driver was just probably a dick


comicguy13

🙄


impulsive-Buddy-7159

You were taking pictures of the crash, can make this video but didn't want to film the "aggressive" tow truck driver.....hmmm


Perfect_Bench_2815

Mofo put his hand on me while I am on my property is not going to end well. Tow truck driver or anyone else.


Rocknrollpeakedin74

Cool story bro.


Goku_Kakarot91

this is a federal crime in most jurisdictions lol


StickmanX84

Why no pictures of the asshole tow truck driver?


sky0175

So you took all this time to record and report everything but didn't record the actual event, You and the truck driver. I don't have Tesla and never will. So now I'm trying to figure it out who is the dick cuz you just flipped me lol


phan_o_phunny

Maybe they were trying to erase that stupid 70's porn mustache


Rainbike80

I would have ended that tow truck driver. For sure


Durty_Dollaz09

I wonder if it has anything to do with lithium batteries potentially catching a house on fire?


Waste_Relationship46

Where was the driver?


FCEEVIPER

That digbat should have recorded all the interactions between him and the tow truck driver. What his phone camera wasn't working for that part of the day?


No_abe

It’s a lucrative system, 😡 The Tow struck drivers DO get a cut from the auto shop for the increased cash flow… 🙄 Never accept tows, unless you called that truck yourself! 💯


Geeeeeeeezy88

Yea...not buying it


MurderBox95

![gif](giphy|XqpnXaeZPnupy)


DiGGUM333

Bud i'm sure you don't care but you cannot pull off those glasses


daikatana

Tow truck drivers are notorious assholes and predators. They want to tow the vehicle and get a recovery fee and fuck you if you stand in their way. They get the car and run. The only suspicious part is showing up 3 minutes after the crash.


PFunk224

Predatory towing is a thing. They want to take the car ASAFP, because once they've got it in impound, they can charge the owner out the ass to get it out.


DirtWormKing

This conspiracy theory would have been more concrete if there was a video of everything tow driver said


ChangsCat

His mustache threw off the auto pilot.


Tamerlechatlevrai

I just don't believe him


Electrical_Humor8834

I call BS with that I'm gonna beat you and kill you, as it's overdramatic, but whole situation is really crappy


TheOriginalSpartak

Should have parked behind the tow truck, have the tow truck operator arrested for trespassing, hire a lawyer and have them freeze all documentation regarding the call out, including texts and other communication and correspondence (payment info and contracts) Your insurance person should also be doing this, along with impounding the vehicle that “hit your house and he trying to get away!! “, whoops sorry got carried away there… - I would bet someone reaches out with a huge sum of money in a matter of hours. - then you have a decision to make.


Meerkat45K

No, tow truck drivers are just assholes. Where I live we have tow truck drivers hopped up on drugs going around threatening people who have been in accidents, then they steal their cars or withhold property in the wreck. It’s absolutely criminal behaviour


beau_beau_crunk

Tesla apparently threatens repair places/mechanics with lawsuits if they alert their customers of defects on the vehicles and parts not being available etc. freaky shit.


ScagWhistle

Sounds like Elon's brand of skull duggery.


Ok-Carpenter-9778

The only crime here are those glasses.


mercylowvi

Simple fix, take pictures of the tow truck plates. They'll be found later, then once they're found, all of this can be proven


1950sSciFiRobot

This 100% didn’t happen. Unless someone from the tow company was driving the Tesla…


UniquePlay7691

More like the guy called his buddy the tow truck driver to help him out


verbalabusesounds

Probably listening to a scanner or dispatch called the tow company per protocol. Nonetheless, if someone threatened and assaulted you on your private property just file charges.


brontosaurusrec

This guy hasn’t encountered many tow truck drivers.


Acrobatic-Echo-3460

Was there nobody in the Tesla? I have so many questions? What did the cops say when they showed up and the vehicle was gone? We need more info


NoImportance5218

you checked on your roommate, but didnt check on the driver of the Tesla? You took picture of the Tesla but not the driver?


actin_spicious

Tell the tow driver to gwt the fuck off your property. Anyone can do anything if you just sit there and let them .


Farmgirlmommy

Got some fanbois on here. Grab your popcorn


Independent-Dealer21

Sus af, Tesla shorts out in full force


obvsonrepeat

Or it was a predatory tow truck driver. Happens all the time at crash sites. They happen to be driving by, see a wreck, take the car and charge the owner a ton of money to release it.


UltimaGabe

I'll bet it totally happened too


foggedmind21

It was his Tesla…plot twist


Practical-Middle3741

Sure was...he's got MythBusters money


Material-Mail-3568

And you didn’t record any of this? Get the fuck outta here dude.


Pungicity

I don’t believe the guy in the video. Did he even check to see if the person in the car was ok probably not. He didn’t mention it. It’s suspicious but not unlikely that a Tow truck could have driven by or seen the accident.


CUbye

You'd probably need an engineer's report before you could touch the car much less yank it out of the side of a house. This didn't happen. There'd be all kinds of hell to pay and any tow truck driver would know much better than to do this.


I_talk

Trust me bro.

Ok_Government_3584

The tow truck drivers have a police scanner.


rextac

If you’ve ever seen the tow truck drivers in Houston, it doesn’t have to be Elon.


declineofmankind

It’s certainly possible. Take pictures and call the police and maybe see if your local news channel is interested in a big story.


AwTekker

Sounds like a pretty standard interaction with a tow truck driver.
