Celebrity Justice
Tiger Woods -- Let's Go to the Videotape

Posted Nov 30th 2009 11:06AM by TMZ Staff

There's something the Florida Highway Patrol wants even more than catching a glimpse of Tiger Woods' wounds -- the video from the surveillance cameras at the family home.

Tiger Woods -- Let's Go to the Videotape
TMZ has learned the home of Tiger and wife Elin Nordegren is fully loaded with security cameras and we're told at least one of the cameras show Tiger's exit from the house. We know the FHP wants the video.

As we first reported, the FHP wants a search warrant for Tiger's medical records. They also want the video. The question, even if the FHP gets a warrant for the video: What, if any, footage exists at this point?

Then again, it's possible Tiger would willingly fork over the video. Or maybe not.

1. Poor Tiger! I think the wife was beating him and bashed in his window while chasing him down, because she thinks he had an affair.

4. Why is the Florida Highway Patrol even involved with the accident if it is the city limits? Should't that be a city police thing? He doesn't have to give them anything but his license, proof of ins. and car registration, which he did. Even if his wife scrached him do you think he will press charges, don't think so. The FHP needs to go patrol the highways and get over themselves!

5. "...one of the cameras show Tiger's exit..." is incorrect grammar.

6.

Do the entire world a favor Tiger...

Damn it Tiger.

You owe that video to all mankind!!

7. "because she thinks he had an affair"

I'm guessing its more than "thinks" at this point. She probably found some proof or he confessed and she went bonkers on him.

8. I don't understand how this effects Tiger's career. In fact, it will have zero impact. He has every legal right in state of Florida to stay silent from the cops. I dont know why this is even a story. The guy made a stupid mistake, that is obvious. That is why he isn't saying anything. Why would he want to justify anything TMZ reports? He has no reason to sensationalize everything they are speculating.

9. tiger woods should be tested daily for performance enhancing drugs . Nobody has ever asked the question as to why a man who was about 165 or 170 is in a matter of two years up to 200 plus.And that weight he has put on is no fat people.

10. Has this horrible crime been turned over the the major case squad yet? Good grief!!

11. The NY Post is reporting that Radonline is reporting TIger stormed out yelling about his wife ruining Thanksgiving:

"Tiger's Turkey Tirade"

"EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods Stormed Out Before Crash And Told Wife That She Ruined Thanksgiving"
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/11/exclusive-tiger-woods-stormed-out-crash-and-told-wife-she-ruined-thanksgiving

I am beginning to think Tiger may actually believe this is all a "private" matter -- but as I said earlier, "private" means: they stay in their house and argue, not that he gets into a motor vehicle and causes property damage to public property (fire hydrant) and private property (neighbor's tree), in addition to his own vehicle damage and him ending up on the ground leaving a neighbor to wonder if he is alive or dead. This is a public story, even though the details may be embarassing. Yes, it's better to fihgt with your spouse indoors, but in this case, the fight went outside, if there was a fight, and it may indeed have involved such crimes as spousal abuse and DUI by drugs.

Not cooperating with the police was his choice, but it's not a good one when it leaves everyone else to fill in the blanks, and there are many blanks that need to be filled in because of the property damage and the fact he was behind the wheel of a car registered in Florida.

Tiger, next time, you and your wife should stay indoors in the privacy of your home! Anyone else would have already been arrested for reckless driving and the public property damage, and been asked to submit to a blood, urine or breath test because of the traffic offense, whether they choose to speak to police or not. Sorry, Tiger, but that's the truth. FL Highway Patrol should be investigating. And, it's good they are investigating.

13.
For all the fools that keep saying it doesn't matter what goes on in his own house- STFU. It does matter. It is police business.
Can you have a prostitute ring in you own private property?no. Can you see drugs in the privacy of your own home and expect the cops to look the other way?no.
Can you beat the crap out of your spouse in your own home and expect the cops to look the other way? NO. NO. NO.

A crime is a crime even if it is on your own property.

If the police suspect violence they have every right to investigate. Kids live in this house too.

Tiger the baby isn't use to not getting his way. He must be going nuts not being able to control this. I bet her is feeling sorry for himself. Idiot. You are just a man who can hit a silly ball into a hole. Nothing else. You have to deal with real life just like everyone else.

14. It's their security system so delete. As for the company providing coverage...their lawyer is probably negotiating a glitch, or continued privacy rights, as we write. No crime has been committed? Motion to Quash! Motion to Quash!
