I could be wrong about not signing the ticket getting you arrested in Utah. It is however justification for the officer to order the suspect out of the car and perform a terry stop.

You can't just ignore the lawful orders of a police officer.

So I may have gotten a detail that wasn't particularly germane wrong.

What else do you think I got wrong.

Both the driver and officer handled this incident poorly.

How exactly did the officer handle the situation poorly?

He was polite. He explained the situation. He made absolutely no unreasonable requests of the driver.

The driver just kept arguing and refusing to comply with the officer's lawful orders. For some reason some people have this idiotic idea that they can just do whatever they want in such a situation other than directly attack the officer, and that they shouldn't face any consequences for doing so.

It is ridicules to expect for an officer to have to grapple a suspect into submission, especially where there is another suspect in the area, and the officer hasn't even checked for weapons.

But, it was the officer who did NOT follow the law, as written, in this state.

In what way? Spell it out for me.

I’m sorry to “hit and run” you on this topic... but, I am vacationing in Vegas right now... and, this topic was discussed as nauseum on this board, when the video first came out...

I’ll be happy to elaborate further next week, when I’m back home... for, it will take QUITE A WHILE to point out all of the innacuracies in your earlier post.. there were MANY.
