Chain of events would have been interrupted. Or, her friend who told her bail would be posted that night(?) could have showed up and actually posted bail, which would also have interrupted the chain of events. She was clearly stressed out, as the other jail detainees said who talked to her. The stress was likely too much for her in her compromised mental state.

The bull-enters-china-shop approach is dangerous. I am concerned about you, for your stated intention not to comply to lawful orders during a traffic stop. Not a good plan.
I think if we took a poll of FReeper intended behaviors during a traffic stop, the results would be heavily skewed away from your stated intent.
I know life does not always seem fair, but you play the cards you're dealt. Know the rules well enough to exploit them, and not be exploited. Know when to set aside your pride, for your own good.
