"These days its a taser."
And tomorrow they should just shoot the women??
You cant give the cops the power to enforce the laws then complain when they do as their supervisors and training teach them to do. (Of course over zealous enforcement is an exception.)
If anyone on or off this thread is pulled over and starts giving the officer a hard time, it will escelate the situation until you either back off and play nice or the police persuade you to play nice. You will either leave with the ticket and be on your merry way, or end up hog tied on your way to the pokey or to the ICU with taser burns, bruises, very sore pressure points, a dislocated limb etc.....ITS ALL UP TO YOU. The further you escalate the situation, the worse it will be. (Please see post #26 of this thread.)
Im not a cop lover or a cop hater but looking at this situation with as much reality as possible. Im not in favor of handing out a free taser treatment with every pregnancy test but if you meet the criteria of the physical force that will be applied to you if you resist arrest, then thats what you get.
What if..............she was a convicted felon, or had just robbed a bank, or any other situation that would put her and her "unborn fetus" in danger of an altercation with the police? Are the police not suposed to attempt any arrest because the perp is "with fetus"? Depending on the situation, speeding in a school zone can result in felony reckless driving, child endangerment, or even vehicular homicide.
By the way, the fashion in which SHE BROKE THE LAW increased her stopping distance from around 60 feet to over 110 feet. Thats more than enough to skid through an intersection after you should have already been stopped if you were doing the speed limit.
Sorry. No mercy for her.

.....and in a few years it will likely be a directed sonic or light emitting device that will make you so physically nausious within just a few seconds, your will to fight or ability to resist will be long forgotten as you writh on the ground in agony.
