There will be some serious charges lodged for sure. It is also likely the bonding company will be sued for damages. The victim has proper cause to do so and I would if my car had been damaged due to stupid acts over a misdemeanor charges.Depends on which car I'm in. In my truck, I push the car ahead of me forward as it has a steel bumper and is less likely to get the radiator damaged or steer/drive tires wedged in inoperable. In one of my cars, I go backwards. I can drag the car away with the FWD if need be.
If none of that works out, it's time to draw and make the best of it.
As far as I'm concerned, these morons should get attempted murder at the least.

And since when are misdemeanor warrants served at gunpoint? Not identifying as some form of LEO and pointing a gun at someone is a good way to get shot.There will be some serious charges lodged for sure.

Even POST certified commissioned police officers cannot shoot at one fleeing a misdemeanor warrant.
Mistaken identity gets people shot quite often. People using firearms wrongfully shoots a lot of people each year. People often shoot people when they think they are doing so legally but the law looks at it differently.Scary story to be sure. But what I am not getting is the 'it could happen to you'. Sounds like an outlier. Illegal, not standard practice and I've never heard of such a thing. I have watched 'Dog, BH' but he's going after felons and recidivists/
Is is common for bail bond companies to hire and arm former felons?
Maybe you meant to use it as an example of violent car-jacking could happen to you? Have you ever heard of it before?
1. take my car to a body shopGiven the above situation, what would you do?
So you don't think people should be ready to protect themselves?Guys, how often do we hear about the police going into the wrong house with felony warrants? It is 2am and you are sleeping when the front door is compromised. You grab your nightstand gun (which I am against) and you are going to get killed by police when they had the wrong house but you are only protecting your home with your legally owned firearm.
Wrong house, wrong vehicle, and idiot working on the wrong job while carrying a firearm, a hot head driver with road rage and a firearm, a decent citizen with a nightstand gun. There are so much more I could list that can get innocent people killed.
You are correct in so many ways but we differ in many ways.So you don't think people should be ready to protect themselves?
Serving a no knock warrant at 2am is just plain stupid. I am a law abiding citizen, if someone kicks in my door at 2am I will instantly consider them hostile. Anyone can yell "sheriff's department"
One reason I always stop well enough behind the vehicle in front of me to see it's rear wheels, allows plenty of space to maneuver. I think ramming the vehicle in front of you is pure Hollywood action hero crap, why would you take the chance of disabling your own vehicle? :wink:While I cannot release all the information since it is an active case I am working, I will list the highlights and then you guys can figure what you would do.
Last Monday night, a 28 yr old male left his home to go to a store. He drove his late model (2015) car on an interloop in this area. As he neared the intersection where he would make a left turn from the inside lane, a car cut him off and parked across his travel path. A man wearing all black along with a face mask jumped out of the car and pointed a gun at the victim. The victim panicked afraid of a robbery and started to back up.
A second car pulled up on his rear bumper to prevent his backing up. The victim then turned sharply to the left, jumping a curb and getting onto the sidewalk to get away.
As he drove past the first car, the masked man fired 15 rounds into the car. The second driver fired 11 rounds into the rear of the car. None of the rounds hit the victim but the car was effectively disabled to the tune of $4,700 worth of damage. He called 911 on his cell as the men pulled him from the car. They kicked him and put some cuffs on him so tight that wrist damage occurred.
The police arrived very quickly (it was not far from a doughnut shop).
It turns out the men were working for a bail bond company. The man got a traffic ticket three years ago and failed to appear in court. The bondsmen were looking to make an $80 fee.
Now the real issue begins. The next day, a Judge accepted a $160 fine from the man and charges were cleared. However the bail bondsmen are both convicted felons with violence. Neither can own, be around or handle firearms. Both were charged with possession by a felon and reckless use of a firearm.
It is likely more charges will follow.
However, this could happen to anyone. Wrongful identification, an unpaid traffic ticket. You can be pinned in by two vehicles in a car jacking, robbery or many other things.
Given the above situation, what would you do?
