It was done when everyone figured out the thread evolved but you were clueless to the fact that it did and lagged about 3 steps behind everyone else, and you muddied up the thread.

And as you do literally every time you debate with me, you show you're incapable of simple debate and break down and whine. Literally every time.

I disagree with the speeding. If someone is driving dangerously, they need a ticket. Someone driving safely over the speed limit doesn't warrent a fine of 200-300 dollars of money theyve worked hard for.

The police have been turned into a revenue generating force in many places and it's stupid.

Apparently there's a lot more to it than those of us with common sense realize.

One can hope she was on her way to the Dr to get spayed. Reproduction in her case does not bode well for the rest of us.

Im not 100% sure. But i heard you are within your rights to not roll your window down.

However, could she not see that she just made this entire situation so much more than what it needed to be. If she was in such a hurry to the doctor. Roll your window down, sign the citation, and be on your way. But yet she felt as if she had a point to prove, and it backfired.

Are you really defending that woman's actions?


Is the officer requiring her to do something the law does not?

Does that make it OK when the "dog" bites you?


It could have been avoided if the person would have just stopped fricking with the dog. If you are willing to do something that could result in something else, whether its right or wrong, it still happens and you should be willing to take responsibility for it.

all for exercising your rights, but anyone with some common sense knows when confronted by a police officer you just say yes sir and do as told


That is the problem.

Police should be respected, but held accountable when they do wrong. The lack of accountability is what drives the anti police anger.

Yes, she was being difficult, but she was within her rights to not roll the window all the way down.


So you are defending her. Got it.


Appears you agree with regards to her rights, but think she should not have cared about her rights.

All that matters is what she did, not the officer?

Each of them should be called out or defended based on how their acti9ns aligned with the law.

I googled "can the police require you to roll down your window" and I came across this. I don't agree with some of the things he says, but this is what he posted about rolling down your window.

quote:

Roll your window down 1/4 of the way. Roll it down just far enough to pass documents and communicate clearly with the officer. Do not roll your window all the way down. This is very important. A very common way for the police to escalate a traffic stop is to place their head into an open window and claim that they smell marijuana or alcohol or something else illegal even if they didn’t. This gives them the reasoning they need to invade more of your personal space. If you don’t roll your window very far down, it will be hard for the officer’s “I smelled marijuana” argument to hold up in court if it came to that.

With that in mind, I still don't think its worth making the situation worse. I have been stopped numerous times and I roll down my window all the way. I never really thought about it being an issue. Rolling it down just far enough to exchange documents can look suspect. Just because you have the right to do something, does not mean you should. For example, freedom of speech is a right we all have, but that doesn't mean there will not be any consequences for saying whatever I want.

Is this situation a representation of what puts most people, who are shot by the police, in that situation?



I don't think it is the full representation but most of the situations start out like this I would think. I was doing some work in the panhandle and the city guys told me that one of their cops has at least two complaints against him a week and they have to go in and review his footage every week. The cop is an a-hole, he comes across as an a-hole, he acts like an a-hole and talks to people like they are assholes but he doesn't overstep the law. The city WANTS to get rid of him but haven't been able to with cause yet.

This video is a situation where the woman was pulled over for a nothing violation and then quickly pissed the cop off with dripping water, nothing major but a constant stream of annoyance. Does she HAVE to roll down her window all the way? Most likely not and I am sure it depends on what state this was. Would this have been nothing if she did, most likely yes in every state. Cops understand that lights go out and unless they personally pull you over a couple times for the same light being out close together, they will just give you a curtesy warning.

On the flip side, the cop came off as a dick and seemed irritated as soon as she started with the window thing. I understand making them roll the window down all the way if the windows were dark so he could see fully what was behind it but her's didn't seem that way. As soon as she rolled her window back up, she wasn't leaving there without something though.
