It is better to sign the traffic ticket and go about your business pending the court date.

Since signing a traffic ticket is not an admission of guilt and only a recognition of a receipt of the ticket and a promise to appear, I would go ahead and sign it. However, to taser the guy before you explain that to him, and to let him fall into a highway where cars are driving by at 40MPH seems a bit excessive and dangerous.

I watched this video yesterday. Be sure to watch the large one, its like 15 minutes. This guy and his family have a definite case. I was afraid the cop would taser the wife when she came out of the car.

From what I saw and heard in the video, the officer was more than justified in taking the measures that he did. That he didn’t also take the wife into custody for interferring with an officer was surprising to me. He spent more time attempting to reason with these two dolts than what they deserved.

do ya think maybe the cop should have been more responsible and TELL the motorist why the ticket had to be signed.???
