[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to wrap my head around her actions.

I've been pulled over for having a tail light out, etc.  You stop, you put your hands where they can be seen.  When the officer comes to your window you give them your license and registration, and proof of insurance if they want it.   You can ask why they stopped you.

With that, normally they will go run info and send you on your way with a mechanical ticket to get the light fixed, or if you violated a traffic law, a ticket.

During the stop is not the time to argue with the police, it is not the time to question why you were stopped. You can question the validity of the traffic stop, or the traffic law in question at your court date.   Sit quietly, let them say their mumbo jumbo and take your ticket and deal with it later.  If you feel the officer didn't respect you then drive to the police station afterwards and ask to file a complaint.

And I don't smoke,[b] but I can't even begin to imagine someone continuing to smoke, or lighting up when a police officer has stopped you. [/b] That's just plain rudeness.  Someone with half a brain would either put the cigarette out immediately before the officer comes to your window, or when they approach they would say please let me extinguish my cigarette if that is ok with you.

If the women had just answered the questions, followed directions, she would never have gone to jail.

Generally, smokers use cigarettes to calm their nerves, so that's probably why she wanted to continue smoking.  To calm herself.  I found this very interesting article.  http://www.salon.com/2015/07/25/texas_trooper_had_no_right_to_ask_sandra_bland_to_put_out_her_cigarette_partner/

[b]The policeman in case was just wrong. Ms. Bland was a victim of policeman out of control.[/b]

If you watched the whole video you would know that last statement was BS. The officer made mistakes...no doubt about it...had his moments where his control should have been better...but she was the one who was out of control.[/quote]
