(CNN)Anger over Sandra Bland's death in a Texas jail has boiled over after newly released video showed what happened at the traffic stop that led to her arrest.
Now, many question whether she should have been arrested at all.
The dashcam video shows Texas state Trooper Brian Encinia pulling Bland over July 10 for allegedly failing to use her turn signal. What started as normal conversation gets testy after Encinia asks her to put out her cigarette.

Prove it! Show me a link to a case where it has been upheld or show me the statute!
The cops authority is in the CCP and PC under ‘officer authority’.
that is nice please provide the link and show us your cite that proves such word for word...
Really?
I must be really dense, or don't understand Texan or something.
Hiel Hitler. I want these asshats brought under control. Or jus fire them all.
Here are some of the codes:
Texas Penal Code
§ 38.15. INTERFERENCE WITH PUBLIC DUTIES. (a) A person
commits an offense if the person with criminal negligence
interrupts, disrupts, impedes, or otherwise interferes with:
(1) a peace officer while the peace officer is
performing a duty or exercising authority imposed or granted by
law;
(2) a person who is employed to provide emergency
medical services including the transportation of ill or injured
persons while the person is performing that duty;
(3) a fire fighter, while the fire fighter is fighting
a fire or investigating the cause of a fire;
(4) an animal under the supervision of a peace
officer, corrections officer, or jailer, if the person knows the
animal is being used for law enforcement, corrections, prison or
jail security, or investigative purposes;
(5) the transmission of a communication over a
citizen’s band radio channel, the purpose of which communication is
to inform or inquire about an emergency; or
(6) an officer with responsibility for animal control
in a county or municipality, while the officer is performing a duty
or exercising authority imposed or granted under Chapter 821 or
822, Health and Safety Code.
Also look under CHPT 14 of the CCP
I just did. Now show me word for word that anything the cop did was illegal.
Also...
542.501 of the Transportation Code. It say
“A person may not wilfully fail or refuse to comply with a lawful order or direction of:
(1) a police officer; or ...”
No, a woman is dead because she CHOSE to commit suicide while in jail.
Yeah which part talks about ciggies? So far you got zip for proof...
Also...
TEX TN. CODE ANN. § 542.501 : Texas Statutes - Section 542.501: OBEDIENCE REQUIRED TO POLICE OFFICERS AND TO SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS -
A person may not willfully fail or refuse to comply with a lawful order or direction of:
(1) a police officer
See Pennsylvania vs. Mimms.
I never said any law spoke specifically about cigs. I said the law gave the cop authority, as a lawful order, to require her to put out the cigarette. I have provided 4 statutes/laws so far, but you haven’t even provided one that says a cop doesn’t have the authority to give that lawful order.
“No, a woman is dead because she CHOSE to commit suicide while in jail.”
They why are the news services carrying the story that it is a MURDER INVESTIGATION? You need to take a look at the news reports!
“He knows what policy he violated. He also knows he is going to trying to explain it to a jury soon. This guy is in big trouble thanks to films.”
Just as she knows what laws she broke and what lawful order she violated, right?
“A woman has the right to refuse to get out of her car until she can check with the PD to be sure she is not being accosted by criminals in this Obama world.”
He was a uniformed officer, and where exactly is this woman’s right to refuse a lawful order to exit her car enumerated?
I’m sorry, you really don’t seem to have any idea what you are talking about, and you just seem to be rambling about with useless emotions that don’t matter a hill of beans to any facts.
If you read those full statutes/laws along with the other resources that I’ve provided, then you will find that it is the burden of the person to prove that an order is not lawful otherwise the law assumes the order to be lawful. So another words, unless the law specifically states an order to be unlawful (i.e. rape, bjs, to stop breathing,etc.) then the order is assumed to be lawful under State law.
Show me the definition of a lawful order that allows a cop to tell someone to put out a cigarette while they are in their car. And note a cop cannot enter that car unless he has probable cause and or permission.
Not also prior arrest records do not constitute probable cause.
So he ordered her out of her car for refusing to put out her ciggy. She had made no threatening moves at this point as far as the video shows, she did however answer the question he asked which apparently made him angry.
Thanks - you seem to know a lot about this and it’s very helpful.
“A$$hole cop” is nothing more than your opinion.
My opinion is that he wasn’t an a$$hole, and she was.
Can a cop order you to put out a ciggy while you are inside your home and he is on the outside of it?
