OMG. I know this isnt funny and I'd absolutely hate, hate, hate to live/work/associate with someone like the OP's sister -- but I cant stop laughing at the sister's insisting that she doesnt want to be arrested. The visual of this incident is just too humorous.
How can you laugh?? The sister is apparently above the laws that govern other people and these disrespectful police come and bother her!! How dare they put handcuffs on her!!

Hahahaha........STOP IT!!!!! OMG....the laughing is starting all over again!
Its not what they did, its how they did it and went about it. The harsh nature in which they went about it is often going to lead to a harsh reaction from the person. We are talking about unpaid parking fines here not a damn murderer.
Speeding fines means the car was moving. Too fast.
Parking fines means the car wasn't moving. At all.
One is a tad more dangerous to members of the public than the other, and has different consequences.

Yes!! Good grief....it's not as if she got those "speeding tickets" for going too slow, is it?
Okay, where's that OP? Did she get tossed into the pokey?....or did she bully her way out of it? Hahaha
OP, please let us know when/where your sister is to appear in court. It's been a long time since I've seen a judge lay a good smack down on a defendent who hadn't yet learned humility. I'll bring the popcorn.
Well, as I said its alot different to here and I prefer it like it is here.
In such a situation here, they would give you several written warnings. If its still not paid, they would re-possess some of your assets to cover the cost. Not harshly arrest you and throw you in jail at the cost of the taxpayer. That is saved for the serious crimes! cheers!

Therefore, she is a chronic offender (traffic infractions, evaded the law, AND resisted arrest! Yes, I like our way much better. It would be a damn shame if they didn't actually put her in jail to think about what she did.
Oh wait....that would be horrible though...putting her in jail like a "common criminal". Nooooo, wait...she ISa common criminal, with multiple offenses.
Obviously she is not in Los Angeles. LAPD would have blown her head off and this thread would be in P&OC.
B.S., and highly offensive. I have lived in Los Angeles for over 50 years and I'm not sure why you are demonizing the LAPD. Yes, I am aware of a few rogue cops, such as Raphael Perez, out of a force of 7,000 or 8,000 (or perhaps more) sworn personnel. And he did prison time for his crimes. Why are you mis-characterizing a very professional force for a few bad apples? Can you imagine any group of 8,000 people, no matter how carefully screened, without some? They are human beings (i.e., some are flawed), not automatons.
