[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, but I can't even begin to imagine someone continuing to smoke, or lighting up when a police officer has stopped you.  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.

I agree 100%.

I have gotten tickets that were bogus in my opinion...and yes I questioned em...was a little more hotheadedly verbal when in my 20's. But the bottom line was they were the ones with the guns and had the authority. I waited to my day in court to challenge. And if I was of a mind to voice my opinion...I waited to find out whether I was getting a ticket or a warning.[/quote]
