What would you have the officers do?


How about for starters NOT shocking the innocent passenger. How about exercising sound judgment. How about conducting yourself in a manner fitting of the uniform you wear. How about remembering to protect and serve as opposed to harass, intimidate and abuse? This cop is no better than a carjacking thug. Better march in lockstep and comply or the government will kill your unborn baby.

Oh, and there is a written policy so that makes it all legal.

Your comments are extremely interesting. Now, suppose the law in Washington State requires either a signature on the ticket in lieu of bond for a misdemeanor traffic arrest, or a bond posted, what would you have the officer do? He has a burden on him placed there by the State of Washington to arrest the driver, and to legally secure her appearance in court. Should she refuse the signature, she and she alone is placing the additional burden upon the officer to use reasonable and necessary force to place the driver under physical control.

So, with all these givens, what would you have the officer do? Use a nightstick?
