Girl Goes Jogging, Ends Up Handcuffed and Arrested

Video in Link
quote:
It allegedly started with her jogging in her toe shoes and sporting headphones. It ended in video of her screaming and being led away in handcuffs. What happened in between is a matter of debate, but video showing parts of the incident is certainly gaining traction online.
Whatever the woman did to get the attention of Austin, Texas police, a witness’ video of cops detaining her on a city sidewalk Thursday morning then escorting her to a nearby squad car indicate she was not happy with their actions.
I was doing nothing wrong,” she said at first to a nearby witness while sitting on the sidewalk with her hands behind her and one officer standing over her. “I was just crossing the street.”
But as police escorted her away while pedestrians passed by, things got ugly.
The Daily Texan, the student newspaper for the University of Texas at Austin, reported that police arrested the woman for failing to provide identification.
Student Chris Quintero, who the Daily Texan reported witnessed the arrest, said he saw the woman jogging with headphones on when police ran after her. When the woman failed to stop, the officer grabbed her by the arm and handcuffed her, Quintero said.
“She repeatedly pleaded with them, saying that she was just exercising and to let her go,” said Quintero, who also shot the video and took photographs of the incident.
.
The woman can be seen in the full video attempting to get up from the sidewalk and being kept down by police officers.
Austin police did not return phone calls from TheBlaze about why the woman was detained.
According to a statement to The Daily Texan from police spokeswoman Lisa Cortinas: “[In this case], the call is titled failure to identify.”
quote:
UPDATE: As TheBlaze pointed out earlier this year, citizens have a variety of rights when it comes to interacting with police, including whether or not you have to show ID, and laws vary from state to state.
According to the infogrpahic in TheBlaze story from January and other sources, in Texas you only have to show ID once you’ve been arrested, not before. If you’re lawfully detained in Texas, you do not have to provide ID. However, you cannot give false information about who you are.
It’s still unclear if the woman in the video was arrested or detained or if she had ID to show or provided information of any sort to police. TheBlaze will update this story when police provide the information.

But, but, but, I thought Austin, Texas was an oasis of tolerance and love in a desert of reactionary, Republican right-wingers???
(Seriously, this is a bad arrest*. I hate when cops make "POP" arrests. It makes for bad case law down the road. I still don't know why LEOs don't understand search/seizure concepts.)
*If she really was popped for merely failing to produce ID.

Is it mistaken identity or something? I sure hope so.

Austin Police do not have a good track record.
There was a "This American Life" story a couple years ago about the Austin police setting up a sting car to catch thieves. They parked it in a neighborhood in front of a guys house without informing anyone in the neighborhood. Owner of house calls police several times complaining about an abandoned car in front of his house. Finally gets fed up after a week and investigates himself, sees suspicious items in car. Car is unlocked, he gets in trying to find some info to contact who ever owns the car. He tries to open the the locked trunk. Police swarm vehicle and arrest him for B&E. He spent over a year fighting it.

I've been seeing this story a few places. Why did the cops pursue her in the first place?

I know I shouldn't laugh but as I read this I heard the Benny Hill song in my head.

Comal county is right down the road. One night outside of the sports bar. The cops waited outside, if you came out and got in a car you got a DWI, if you didn't get in your car and tried walking away you got a PI. The only reason I didn't get it was my then wife and I were arguing and were in the restaurant across the street. Texas cops suck arse.

Cop should've kicked that girl and tazed her. Obviously she wasn't compliant enough. Bitches who jay walk need to be LEO'd hard.

You are retarded if you think that

kind of funny how all of these types of stories begin with the pedestrian not being cooperative or being a smart arse. I'm not condoning what some of these cops do, but I imagine that 9 times out of 10, if you just showed them some respect, these situations wouldn't escalate like they tend to do.
