Thanks for your thoughts. I guess I'm taking a different stance then some which is fine. For my money this last offense is worse then the OWI, to some degree. I get that people, especially our young make mistakes, so I would give him some leeway for the OWI, as bad as that was. Driving on a revoked license to me shows willful disregard. That is NOT a mistake. He knew he didn't have a valid license, and yet for however long he's been driving anyway. Just my 2 cents.......
Pemsl arrested
- Thread starter CEDHawk
- Start date
Oh, OK, if you say so, I'll just change what I think just for you. Hope thats Ok.......
I used to walk around campus forlornly and hope Matt Roth would stop and offer me a ride. Three words……Sweet Ride!
Cops have little if any discretion at this point. They can't just let him go.
In the old days they would let you go if they didnt feel like going back to the station and doing a bunch of paperwork in the middle of the night. Now every stop is logged. If he goes on his way and is involved in a serious accident, the patrol officers would be held accountable.
Usually you have to carry SR22 insurance after the loss of license.
it’s definitely not as bad as a 27% turnover rate
This is at least strike two for Pemsl. I get your point but I don't care about Michigan, it's not my place to judge a school that I don't really worry about. I care how this looks for Iowa.
My gosh this. This is a part of their job. First day a buddy of mine was a manager he had to get one if our guys out of jail. The way he played the rest of his career he could have stayed there. The player got in trouble, obviously.
Logic, I agree with JJ's response. To me, it isn't the violation. I had a malfunctioning light for years and couldn't fix it. I was a poor college kid so a new car wasn't an option and my current car had some janky wiring. I get this is an annoying violation but it's the fact that he didn't follow through with his consequence. No driving... he lost that right and he needs to make better decisions based on that.

Pemsl would not have have insurance due to losing his license, however if it wasn't his car....I believe the car insurance follows who owns the car, not who drives the car.
Normally you’d be correct. Insurance follows the car, not the driver (generically speaking, of course). However, in Cordell’s case with a recent OWI (less than 5 months ago), there isn’t an insurance company in America that would cover him without high risk SR22 coverage. SR22 is individual auto insurance, specific to a the person.
According to Iowa code, Pemsl would need SR22 for at least two years effective of his most recent revocation (his only).

An addendum to the story. Last night on the KCRG TV show "On Iowa", JBo's brother said that CP went out late that night to get something to eat at McDonalds, near his home. Not a wise choice, but at least he wasn't up to something nefarious.
SR22 insurance is applicable only after you regain your license and as mentioned above usually has to be carried for a period of two years,.. During the revocation period, when the driver is actually without a license, the insurance company will not accept responsibility for a moving violation accident caused by the non-licensed driver,.. Basically, if you get an OWI, lose your license, but maintain your insurance, you only have collision coverage for other licensed individuals that you might allow to drive your car...
I think the kid is just trying to live and get place to place. Ever struggle in life? Yes it is a poor decision. Did you read what I've posted because my only point was about the severity of this incident. On a scale of stupid decisions this isn't that bad. Now, you can group them together and say its a trend or maybe he is just a college kid trying to get through life until he can get things rolling in the right direction.
No it didnt offend me. I just think you are being a bit too serious about what really happened.
Never thought he was up to something nefarious. The list of poor choices, however, goes on and on.
If by being too serious when all I said was that it’s a serious misdemeanor, the same as OWI, then I’m guilty.
I said you’re trying to downplay it when you compared it to jaywalking. Whether you want to believe it or not, it’s more serious than jaywalking if you go by grade of offense in the Iowa code. That is all.
I’ve met a lot of 22 year olds who have done way worse things than driving to Micky Ds at 1am on a revoked license. None of those guys were division one athletes though. I don’t think Pemsl is a bad guy at all. Maybe not the smartest, given his circumstances, but not a bad dude. From what I gather, he’s well liked amongst his teammates.

You're missing my point or ignoring it I guess. Yes we've all been 22 and done stupid stuff. Even though the OWI he got this fall is more serious, I would at least give him that one as a youthful mistake, and one that has been costly for him no doubt. My issue with this weeks deal, is in my book this is NOT a youthful mistake. Its willful disregard. He knows full well that he doesn't have a legal right to drive, and yet he's been doing in anyway for several months, no doubt. Thats not a mistake, its a choice. Don't be surprised if a judge hits him hard for making the willful decision to ignore the court, and keep driving illegally.
If he's gonna put himself in that spot, go somewhere else other than Mcdonalds for **** sakes
Very good. Maybe you should go to court with him, and use your logic to explain to the judge, how he willfully disregarded the court, and drove knowing that he does not have a valid license, on top of the OWI. Let me know how that works out. The first offense was a youthful mistake, and a bad one. This one is not a mistake, it was a choice he made, knowing what he was doing in advance of the act.
His interest in late night trips to McDonalds might explain why he's been a step or two slow this year
(I kid I kid, I totally feel for his play after his lengthy medical issues)
Not in today's world,... cops don't have the leeway to make decisions like that anymore without risking their job..
You would think so, but I knew this drunk that was barred from driving and he had car insurance in his own name.
LMAO, cops let people go all the time.
I know people in the same spot as pemsl and they were allowed to DRIVE away with a ticket. No license, no insurance and the cops let them drive off. Even WINDSOR HEIGHTS did that. If you have lived in the dsm area you know about whpd
Is this a joke or was he really going there?
I would think the athletes would have access to better food at any time, but maybe not?
iahawks10 is really taking a hard line on this one... why? This seems personal. Did you recently get a ticket from one of the cameras on I-380?...
The only way I can feel better about my speeding ticket is if Pemsl loses his scholarship. Anything short of that means the world is unjust!

Nothing like doubling down on your stupidity.
A “hard line” on this one? Please elaborate on how I’m taking a hard line on this. What have I posted for you to come to that? Saying he shouldn’t have just been given a ride home and comparing that to Michigan behavior? Yeah, there’s a two page thread from earlier this week of us Iowa fans making fun of Simpson and Michigan for this sort of behavior. Excuse me for pointing out the irony here.
It’s not my job to judge or punish Pemsl. I have said nothing but good things about him, outside of making some poor decisions recently. Hard to argue with that. I trust in Fran and believe he will find a reasonable punishment. Whatever your stance is on Fran, he runs a pretty clean program, all around.

It was posted (maybe a diff thread) that JBos brother said that he was going to McDonald’s.
That Uber would have been 100 X cheaper than the subsequent upcoming fine is going to be...
Police in Iowa City are in a race to get the quota Bonus year after year. It's a game and they have fun doing it. Bod knows all about it.
