Just do what the cop is asking, and file a complaint or lawsuit later. It's really the only solution, unless one already knows they can physically withstand potentially multiple 5 second/50,000 volt shocks. (I wouldn't expect to be Tasered simply for asking for an officer's name and badge number though--if I was asked for license and registration--if I said something like "here is my license and registration officer, and may I have your name and badge number please?" during a traffic stop.) But, the number of situations that are clearly not life-threatening situations and that have resulted in Taser usage should result in the officers tried for attempted murder. Currently, they are only investigated by the internal affairs, and the investigations seem to be only expedited when the video is available for viewing on the Internet. Now, I don't want Tasers banned because there are legitimate life-threatening situations that may call for them. But Taser usage should be regulated exactly the same as if the officer was using their gun. The weapon *is* potentially lethal, unless one is of ideal health and has no heart or nervous system problems, so the Taser weapon should be regarded as a secondary lethal weapon. |

She appeared to be merely disorganized and did not have her papers at the ready for inspection. To a cop, anything short immediate and total obedence is a confrontation I suppose, but in the real world it isn't. I understand that a good number of cops are ex-military and that the police forces are militarized leading to an expectation of military style obedence and having one's documents etc at the ready but that is no excuse. |

As referenced in the discussion comments on the Fark.com sites, an increasing number of police officers are apparently starting to use anabolic steroids to gain an edge over the suspects and criminals they deal with. That means steroid rage. To be smart, one should always have their driver's license on them, and their registration and proof of insurance in a small wallet that can be kept in the glove compartment or center console compartment within the vehicle. Then, when going for the license and registration/proof of insurance, tell the officer something like: "I'm reaching for my wallet to get my license", then get the license and give it to the officer. Then say something like "I'm going to open this center console compartment to get the registration and proof of insurance", then get it and give the registration/proof of insurance to the officer. Don't give them any reason to suspect resistance. Don't give them any reason to think there is any sort of threat. Doing the above makes any traffic stop that much quicker, and the officer isn't as defensive since there is clearly no threat. That goes for whether it's just a fix it ticket, or if they are actually issuing something like a speeding ticket. |

Oddly enough, I just saw it last night... I did get a chuckle out of it, and I wasn't even the first person to notice it. Might just be my own "retro" tastes showing, but I didn't see what was so awful about the "old" Camaro... they got it all right, down to the Ansen Sprints on the back and I swear I even saw a set of slapper bars on it... Doesn't it **** you off though when people get technical stuff wrong? The ObGirlie was going on about some carburetor something or other when it clearly had a funky sidedraft fuel injection setup... nate (****es off friends when watching movies, can't help it) -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
