I agree that she was disrespectful...but that isn't against the law.The officer had no reason to ask her to step out of the car, nor put out her cigarette. Â He didn't like the answer/attitude she gave so he used his authority to intimidate her which started the chain of events.Now, when things escalated she should have just calmed down and do as told. Â
@aggiebutterfly: No it wasn't against the law but it turned a normal smooth traffic stop into an instant combative situation. Given her crazed behavior, the cigarette could have been used as a weapon to burn the officer, so having her put it out was justified. He used his authority to difuse a potentially dangerous situation. She could have shut her mouth, complied and been on her way with a ticket.
The entire chain of events were the result of HER actions, beginning with the traffic violations.
Just stop, comply and take the ticket.
***** yell cuss and scream on your way home. There was absolutely no reason to get upset or provoke an incident the way she did.
Now the entire world can see that for themselves. 4951
