The Double Standard on Silicon Valley Roads The recent decision by Palo Alto Police to opt for no charge against San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan in a high profile car crash has raised more questions than answers about how authorities handle cases in affluent areas.
Shanahan's account of the incident, where he claimed distraction from his dropped iPhone, was candid, but the lack of transparency surrounding the incident and the decision not to charge him is troubling.
On July 14, Shanahan caused a car crash while driving his Tesla, injuring himself and another driver.
