The issue is that there never should have been a law on the books allowing for an arrest for this offense. It adds an unnecessary violent element to what should be no more than a citation and fine.
Hell, this guy is probably less dangerous than someone speeding, and we don't allow cops to pull people out and arrest them for minor infractions.
So in a way, I don't blame the cops, I blame the laws that prioritized arrest for this infraction

All I know is that the cops better produce some cigarette boxes without stamp taxes or someone gonna git paid.
