    Sure, I mean the cops can proceed with the investigation however they see fit. If it was a battered woman without any resources and not Tiger Woods, who is probably (though maybe not) in physical danger from Elin going forward, they would probably approach it more vigorously than they will with Tiger. Whether or not the DA has enough evidence to indict is a different question. If it was just an average joe (and the sexes were reversed) - probably not unheard of for them to at least go to a Grand Jury on the evidence (which is Elin's super-fishy, allegedly changed, story and other circumstances).

    For the sake of brevity, I didn't mention the special circumstances. The fact the "victim" is a male and is in no danger and the fact it's Tiger and he doesn't want them to pursue charges pretty much ends any chance of prosecution, wouldn't you think?

    Totally ridiculous how blatant the special treatment is. Just revolting.

    what do you think should happen? Its a simple car accident at this point with nobody else involved. Same thing would happen to anyone else.

    Au contraire, if this had not been a celebrity no one would give a ratsass about a fender bender or any non-violent events within a couple's private life.

    I've watched Tiger pretty closely since he was 16 and he has no public history of aberrant behavior beyond his temper with himself and an expected and acceptable amount of arrogance. So I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt and will trust his veracity. The proponents of the salacious interpretation of this story have as much motivation to spin the facts as Team Tiger does.

    True though, I'm pretty disillusioned with all my heros having feet of clay.

    I'll guess "On The Highway to ...uh, Head?

    What is the poor world coming to when a man who makes a living playing the gayest game ever is a top story because he hit a fire hydrant? Who REALLY cares? My God. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    130+ posts in this thread and hundreds of news stories. I'd say somebody cares.

    really, if he wasn't drunk I think its the exact opposite. the police wouldn't give a damn about some person running into the fire hydrant, other than if said person doesn't have insurance

    edit: if you are saying the person who is receiving the special treatment is Elin, I might agree.

    A search warrant? Really?

    Things must be really slow in that jurisdiction. Battered women all over have to struggle to get their situations taken seriously, and they're anxious to investigate if Tiger might be the victim of domestic violence?

    Wife was probably pissed he cheated on her and started berating/distracting him while driving .



    Side note: If you replace Tiger with Allen Iverson the media would be KILLING him right now!

    This is a clear over reaction for this situation.

    Dude, Tiger Woods is probably the most worshiped sports figure in the world and you are crying about Tiger getting unfair treatment? Pluueez.

    I'm already sick of Tiger-gate, so what he crashed his car and possibly had a falling out with his wife, where she probably hit him for possibly cheating on her. What so weird about that...happens everyday?
