Retired Kansas City, Mo., Police Officer Steven David Weinberg, 57, of Lees Summit, MO, passed away Monday, September 17, 2007 while riding his motorcycle on Missouri 350 in Raytown, MO after colliding with a pickup truck that was pulling out onto the highway. He was en route to a Blue Knights meeting at the time of the collision.
The lawyer fuck up. Should have ask him about his education to the subject. Who certified him as accident reconstructions. How long has he been doing it. An expert could do it on a white board in court and explain where the formulas came from. I watched a real expert do just that. The prosecutor did not want him to. The guy was just a dumb cop.
i don't use capital letters (intentionally, mind you) and don't put 'full stops' at the end of the last sentence in each paragraph. other than that, my english is literally immaculate (including my comma usage, you faggot)
in this paragraph alone you:
1) misused a comma (in a sentence talking about comma usage, hilariously enough)
2) misspelled "occasionally"
3) didn't capitalize Jew (immediately after calling me out for not capitalizing shit)
Interesting that you continue down this vain. Still not willing to admit you failed to understand the math conversion in the video.
Also, just fyi, I put that comma in straight after talking about the use of commas so that you'd know what one was.

Trolling because noone could be so stupid to believe that crossing two traffic lanes and heading up across an intersection involves a distance of 5 feet.

its possible the guy weaseled into the job, i couldnt imagine him getting by the interview process without knowing someone. unfortunately so many jobs are gotten this way.
Oooh, it's 63.75'. Hmmm. He's going to nail me for not remembering to say 64 instead of 68. I'd better find some way to avoid answering this question, even if I end up looking like a doofus on youtube. LOL

Could you idiots stop talking about metric please? This has nothing to do with imperial versus metric. He just doesn't know that the correct approach is to multiply by 20.
What is more stupid: The British unit system, the "experts" incapability to convert a quantity with the conversion factor given, or the lawyers idiotic persistence?
How would the metric system help this guy? He is supposed to be an expert, he is handed a calculator, and he can't show his work. He doesn't understand fractions, if he did he would just type 51 / 16 * 20 in the calculator and see that the answer is not "approximately 68 feet". Basically he says he can't multiply a compound fraction and an integer value without a computer program (even with a calculator). Perhaps they should replace him with a 13 year old... maybe he has a son that age.

What a moron. Assume it's 4 inches not 3 3/16 inches to make the math easier and the scale is 20 to 1. Multiply 4X20 =80 80inches 80 inches is 6 feet 6 inches. That's a long way from 68 feet. I could have done that in my head in the 5th grade and i wasn't that good at math.
@mherdeg I think the scale is actually "one [inch] to twenty [feet]". The lawyer doesn't make it perfectly clear because they both can see what it says for themselves. The correct distance would be 63.75ft if this is the case. Basically there no way this guy could be right, but that isn't really surprising from a guy who doesn't know what the slash means in a fraction.
@maquih That's probably it. The scale is 1" to 20'. Not that it makes this moron less of a moron.
The lawyer has made his point though. The guy either can't or won't convert 3/16 to decimal. So he's either not capable of doing 5th grade math or he refuses to. So he's either not an expert or an uncooperative expert. Either way he'll screwed and will never be called as an expert again.

How does this discredit him as a witness? The questioning lawyer is using a bad strategy for this depo. Many professionals use formula sheets in their work, and that a professional would insist on using their formula sheets to do a calculation is completely reasonable. In fact, think about what might happen if he chose to do the conversion from memory: the questioning lawyer could argue that he relies on faulty memory in his work and not on something stable like formula sheets that ensure truth.
@ReconstructedText HAHAHAHAAHHA YOU IDIOT this is basic math. Scaling is taught in elementary school. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about and neither do you.
@Edding795 Why wouldn't faulty memory work? Yes, the facts are provided to him, and yes, I think he ought to be able to do the conversion. But, that he won't without a formula sheet doesn't mean he isn't an expert.
@ReconstructedText You are so very wrong. There is no formula sheet for transforming 3/16 into a fraction. It's called arithmetic. Or a calculator, which was handed to him. 3 and 3/16 inches is... wait for it... 3+3/16 inches. That is the formula. To convert that to scale you multiply it by 20... It is so absurdly simple...
@DrGodfather14 Because he can't change 3/16 into a decimal. That's an elementary/middle school grade question. He is supposed to be an expert witness in accident reconstruction that deals with high level math involving physics. If he can't convert a simple fraction to a decimal, I wouldn't be surprised if he can't even do a basic trajectory problem. We're bashing him because this guy is a moron who doesn't deserve to be considered an *expert* witness.
i had one of these troopers who actually do the accident reconstruction come into my hs. the guy legitimately admits that all they do is use these equations specifically created for these cases. they don't derive anything, know anything about physics, or know how to memorize them. he gave us the sheet of equations they use and they are the most simple equations i have ever seen.
I'm English and never used inches in mathematic problems but i was able to figure out that it was 63.75feet in a few minutes. How can you trust people like this?
look, why are you guys arguing about the math involved?.. the dude in the video is trolling/stalling because he's guilty or doesn't want to be implicated... needing a formula sheet for accuracy's sake is a legitimate defensive move, and if i were in his shoes and maybe guilty of something i'd stall out and burn up the same way he does in the video..
He couldn't convert 3/16 to a decimal value. That's enough said.
He also couldn't explain how he went form 3 and 36 to 68. He couldn't explain what scale the blueprint was on. The blueprint's supposed to say it right there.
He's a complete fraud.
If I hired a statistician who couldn't explain to me the reasoning and method behind a statistical test he used, I would fire him on the spot, and that's several times harder than this.
It wasn't just 3/16, but either way, I agree that he should be able to explain the scale. I think he is capable of running the numbers though. He ran them when he first sat down. I think he came up with a different number and realized the numbers listed on the figure were wrong. The lawyer was probably aware of this as well and hence the motivation for asking the question in the first place.
It was actually three and three sixteenth inches. But it still had to be divided by twelve, and then multiplied by twenty. Not just one simple button press. Though he probably didn't want to do it since the answer was 63.75 feet, not 68.
@random5 You're assuming sanity in the US measurement system? There is your first mistake. It's not all that uncommon to use ratios varying in units of measure. Using 1 inch to represent 1 foot would be a 1:12 scale to us sane people, but I've seen that called a 1:1 ratio with the units being labeled. In this case for the purpose of the drawing using a 1 inch to 20 feet ratio makes sense in the context of the dimensions of an intersection.
Being a person who works daily with scaled drawings, it is most likely a 1 inch to 20 feet.
You wouldn't list it as 1 inch to 240 inch scale, as it is impractical. In the metric system, you normally find scales that have an intrinsic conversion from centimetres to metres.
All he had to do to get the measurement in feet from 3 and 3/16 inches on the scaled drawing then, was 3.1875 * 20, which gives 63.75 feet right?
He starts complaining about how he cant convert 3/16 to decimal, but he has a calculator! just punch in 3 divided by 16!
Also, the reason the metric system is so good is that it is based on whole numbers (multiples of ten), which makes it a hellofa lot easier to do conversions.
@varyconfuzed I don't think so... I'm pretty sure the scale on the document is 1inch representing 20 feet. but I see where you are coming from. A true 1:20 would be as you stated I just don't think they are using that scale, I guess it would be more accurately described as 1:240
I'll admit I always work within the sane metric system but why a scale wouldn't be an exact ratio? And even if for some crazy reason it's not the units would be in the corner of the sheet so I doubt there's any confusion regarding that.
An american that can't do math. Gee, where have I seen that before. I guess considering the guy in the video is considered an expert in your country I can't expect much for TehPenar.
Why does the guy talk about doing conversions? why does he mention feet and inches? Hmmm. I wonder.
your english is still awful, and you're still denying being wrong despite blatant evidence to the contrary. shocking
i guess you can't really do much else in your situation though. you tried to act intellectually elitist (despite having the grammatical skills of a fucking caveman), were proven wrong, and immediately tried to fall back on person attacks (which were almost as bad as your grammar and awkward as your syntax - not quite though)
You seriously believe you have superior grammar? You do not start sentences with capitals. You almost never use commas, and never full stops. Your whole gripe is that I occassionally type .. wow, I guess you can throw this grammar jew into Auschwitz.

Or a calculator, which was handed to him. 3 and 3/16 inches is... wait for it... 3+3/16 inches. That is the formula. To convert that to scale you multiply it by 20... It is so absurdly simple...

DrGodfather14 1 year ago
@DrGodfather14 Because he can't change 3/16 into a decimal. That's an elementary/middle school grade question. He is supposed to be an expert witness in accident reconstruction that deals with high level math involving physics. If he can't convert a simple fraction to a decimal, I wouldn't be surprised if he can't even do a basic trajectory problem. We're bashing him because this guy is a moron who doesn't deserve to be considered an *expert* witness.

He couldn't convert 3/16 to a decimal value. That's enough said.
He also couldn't explain how he went form 3 and 36 to 68. He couldn't explain what scale the blueprint was on. The blueprint's supposed to say it right there.
He's a complete fraud.
If I hired a statistician who couldn't explain to me the reasoning and method behind a statistical test he used, I would fire him on the spot, and that's several times harder than this.
DeepLyricist 1 year ago
@DeepLyricist
It wasn't just 3/16, but either way, I agree that he should be able to explain the scale. I think he is capable of running the numbers though. He ran them when he first sat down. I think he came up with a different number and realized the numbers listed on the figure were wrong. The lawyer was probably aware of this as well and hence the motivation for asking the question in the first place.
MrBiken 1 year ago
how do you convert 3/16 to a decimal value? 3 divided by 16. jesus christ this guy is a joke, i could do that in 4th fucking grade.
Robstailey 1 year ago
It was actually three and three sixteenth inches. But it still had to be divided by twelve, and then multiplied by twenty. Not just one simple button press. Though he probably didn't want to do it since the answer was 63.75 feet, not 68.

Come on America, start using the metric system.
FuckinOathMate 1 year ago 33
@random5 You're assuming sanity in the US measurement system? There is your first mistake. It's not all that uncommon to use ratios varying in units of measure. Using 1 inch to represent 1 foot would be a 1:12 scale to us sane people, but I've seen that called a 1:1 ratio with the units being labeled. In this case for the purpose of the drawing using a 1 inch to 20 feet ratio makes sense in the context of the dimensions of an intersection.

Because his 3 /16 on his sheet is different.
levlobotomy 1 year ago 3
Being a person who works daily with scaled drawings, it is most likely a 1 inch to 20 feet.
You wouldn't list it as 1 inch to 240 inch scale, as it is impractical. In the metric system, you normally find scales that have an intrinsic conversion from centimetres to metres.

KryptosV2 1 year ago
@FalsettoMachine and this makes a difference how?
All he had to do to get the measurement in feet from 3 and 3/16 inches on the scaled drawing then, was 3.1875 * 20, which gives 63.75 feet right?
He starts complaining about how he cant convert 3/16 to decimal, but he has a calculator! just punch in 3 divided by 16!
Also, the reason the metric system is so good is that it is based on whole numbers (multiples of ten), which makes it a hellofa lot easier to do conversions.
sleelin 1 year ago
@varyconfuzed I don't think so... I'm pretty sure the scale on the document is 1inch representing 20 feet. but I see where you are coming from. A true 1:20 would be as you stated I just don't think they are using that scale, I guess it would be more accurately described as 1:240
raaronjohnson 1 year ago
@raaronjohnson
I'll admit I always work within the sane metric system but why a scale wouldn't be an exact ratio? And even if for some crazy reason it's not the units would be in the corner of the sheet so I doubt there's any confusion regarding that.

Are you retarded?
The scale is clearly 1 inch to 20 feet .. so 3 inches equals 60 feet, plus the 3/16inch and the sum total is 63.75 feet.
