How can Tiger Woods get away without being questioned by the police for days?

Arrested for hitting a tree or a hydrant? What would the charge be "molesting a tree or asault of a hydrant"? Report Abuse

Same reason that Dick Cheney wasn't charged for not reporting shooting a man in the face. There are special rules in this country if you are rich.Of course, technically, he doesn't have to talk to the police under the 5th amendment, but it seems they are jerking the police around and trying to come up with a story.To the folks who insist that it isn't a police matter, it is. It could be reckless driving, it could be a domestic abuse case, it could be driving impaired (Sleepy, angry, etc.) The accident and the circumstances make it probable cause and anyone else would have been escorted to the police station for questioning, probably when they were released from the hospital.

Tiger Woods hit a fire hydrant and a tree, went to the hospital, was released and State Troopers are turned away from his house when they try to question him. If a common man did this he would have a warrant issued for his arrest for not cooperating with law enforcement. Please explain.
