A traffic ticket is an “OR” release. If the person receiving the ticket refuses to sign, then he can (and will) be taken to jail and booked. In effect, the person refusing to sign the ticket is refusing to appear in court at the listed time and date in order to state his case.

This case was compounded when the officer requested the individual to leave his vehicle, the individual walked away from the officer and the individual did not comply with the officer. He made repeated demands to be advised of his rights, but the officer had no obligation to tell him that he was under arrest at that time.

If one is in the custody of law enforcement and does not comply, the officer can use appropriate force to bring the individual into custody.

The officer pulls out his taser gun AT THE SAME MOMENT that he starts to instruct the man to “turn around put your hands behind your back”. Look at the video at 2:20 carefully.

Officer didn’t even give the person a chance to comply with the arrest before pulling out his weapon!
