There is no reason to defy a police officer's orders or even question him or her. You have an issue with the arrest, you contact an attorney after the fact to check the legality of everything that was done/all the reasoning. I know someone (a white young male! *gasp* ) who was arrested and contacted an attorney after complying and accepting the fact that he was being taken to jail for a night, and the attorney realized the cop had broken some protocol/laws while arresting him. That was the main reason charges were later dropped.

There is no "my version" of anything. This is just a classic example of another idiot who decided to not listen to a police officer, to in some way make her arrest more difficult than it had to be. Happens all the time; always used to except the difference is, now in 2015, we blame the cops when people decide to fight officers or say too much.



This.
She wouldn't step out of her car because she was likely in fear for her life. You can understand why she might have those feelings at that moment correct? We now know she had every reason to be very afraid.

There is a newly release video taken from the dash cam. It is pretty dull until around the 6:28 minute mark. The officer got irritated over basically nothing. He pulls her out of the car and out of the view of his dash cam.

U.S. Supreme Court has acknowledged that a traffic stop is a form of arrest as it is a significant restraint of the driver's freedom which can evolve into an arrest with Miranda Rights and having to secure the person. The woman in the video brought this upon herself.

There's nothing strange about it. Mentally ill people kill themselves all the time.

Wrong. A traffic stop is a basically a Terry Stop. A Terry Stop is a form of detention. Detention is not an arrest.

I have been pulled over and it is, "Yes ma'am, Yes Sir." the radio is off and the cigarettes extinguished.

It's a no brainer.

Cop seemed polite on the full dash cam video. I don't think her calling him a pu$$y cop helped much or not complying?

Do you carry on like that at traffic stops?

Also she survived the traffic stop, so the cop's behavior isn't really in question.

Ironic, in several Liberal states it would be illegal to smoke in your own car.

There are quite a few 'glitches' in that video. It's being investigated as to why. Equipment malfunction? Deliberate editing?

I'm going with editing, myself.

That's you. What that police officer did was inexcusable. Defending his actions is being intellectually dishonest. He basically arrested her for smoking in her vehicle which is a bunch of bull crap.
