Getting a ticket is a form of arrest. All you’re doing is promising to appear rather than the police dragging you off to jail instead. Looks like she resisted. She was dealt with as such.
Unless the cop had her do the taser-dance off camera, I don’t think she has much to complain about.
The problem I see here is the police were so overfunded and overstaffed that that they had the time to pull someone over for a burnt out tail light. Defund the police and they’ll have less time to “protect” us from the scourge of poorly maintained tail lights.
That was a good shot.
“Yeah, if you’re a boot-licker.”
There are some battles worth fighting. A $10 traffic ticket isn’t one of them. That’s what it would have cost her if the car was registered and she produced the registration after the fact.
The bigger issue here is why the police had the time to pull her over for a burnt out tail light. That’s a budget issue and something conservatives can agree on: reducing the size and scope of government. Defund, defund, defund the police department in question.
Who decides what a ‘lawful order’ is?
A cop will always think every order he issue is a lawful order.
And they think every dog they kill is attacking them.
Get real! They are many bad cops and more are coming!
the court systems are crowded...so are the jails....
why would cops be so unprofessional to incite bad behaviour in citizens???
to be a cop shouldn't you also have some descretion?...some judgement skills?.....some sense of proportionality?...
shouldn't they be thinking..."should I be making a big stink out of this minor traffic violation or should I be protecting people from rape and murder?...let me think.."
I am afraid I will strongly disagree with you here.
He purposely broke her window because she wasn’t doing what the nice officer told her to do.
He admits as much with his weasel words “I FORCEFULLY withdrew my hand BECAUSE of her failure to obey my commands”
A judge, long after the fact.
There are good cops and bad ones. This one seems on his way to "bad" but not quite there yet.
Bad cops are like the kind who wanted to confiscate one of my musical instruments at a traffic stop because I could not immediately produce a receipt for it.
That encounter did not end well for that cop.
A guy was murdered in my town a couple of weeks ago.
I know the cops are spending more time writing traffic tickets than trying to find the Trayvons who did it.
Oh, I agree she was being smart -- playing games. That does not call for the reaction. I will not let cops off the hook so easily.
