Does she legally have to roll the window all the way down?


I don't legally have to give a couple of thugs my wallet if they ask for it at gun/knife point, but it's probably in my best interest to do so.

Certain situations in life are unfair and shouldn't happen to people. But shite happens, and you can either be difficult about it or you can weigh your options and make the choice that keeps you safe and out of trouble.

This woman may be well within her rights, and may well have her day in court to address her grievances, but now she has a smashed window and had to waste time dealing with it.

The alternative? Roll down her window and avoid all of that nonsense.

What a civilian can do to avoid a bad situation with an officer is a valid conversation, but it shouldn't be used to excuse shoddy police work at the same time.
