99 Percent of cops i see dont signal for a lane change....She was wrong in every way if it went down like this, but still A BS traffic stop....
being she was Black prolly had a lot to do with it, Not why she was stopped but Her attitude, those folks have bad attitudes

However, this is a very good example of what happens a lot of the time with black drivers. They refuse and refuse and argue with the officer until he makes a mistake, gets angry and frustrated. That should not happen and it is very difficult to not lose your senses and make bad decisions. That's what the perp wants, then they can be the victim of "police brutality". It happened to me at least 50% of the time with black drivers, but I never lost it and beat the hell out of anyone, although I sure wanted to.
I didn't intend to say it didn't happen now and then with a white driver. Maybe one out of 20. And I dealt with white drivers probably 25 to one over others.
She was looking for trouble, and she found it.
A BS stop
Having an opinion without seeing or knowing exactly the situation is a little absurd, is it not?
The Trooper was suspended; the bimbo got arrested because she ran her mouth with BLACK VICTIM attitude and refused to comply with the officers commands. She was going to get a warning, instead she got arrested and eventually dead.
she should have been arrested for being an * , but the cop was an * or bored for that stop , Just my Opinion, agree/disagree
I was usually not looking for a ticket, but for a DWI or a good stop so I could run someone for warrants. I think I ever wrote ONE ticket for failing to signal intent to change lanes, and I did that because the driver told me I couldn't.
It was late at night, on a weekend, and I was looking for DWIs. Pickup truck ahead of me changed lanes without signaling. I stopped it. License is good. I told the driver: "I stopped you because you failed to signal your lane change."
He told me: "That's BS. You can't write a ticket for that."
That was the wrong thing to say. I never wrote many attitude tickets, but that was one.
He had all the right & law bound to stop her.
most of the times they want to see who you are and what you are up to (real reason they stop you.)
She did have an attitude and and flamed the situation.
I see it, above the law, bet the cop that stopped her does the same..
as all the LEOs on here, NUNN and the rest , you signal every F'n time you change lanes, ??? , If you say yes I call BS to that too,
would he have stopped a car he Knew was a cop for the same thing I am betting No
I aint talking what happened after the stop Thats another Story, just the stop for no signal
legally can stop and a vioation but mostly FISHING, like NUNN said
i agree with Nunn , some of you need to go back and review the driver ed book to see that it is a violation to not use your signal light.

if cops don't use them and I would say about 90% of the time they don't , then they sure in the hell should not write others for not using them
and with about 170,000 miles on the roads per year in multiple states , I see lots of cops that don't use them , matter of fact it would really be a surprise to see one that did

looks like they were both looking for trouble, he didn't like her smoking ether
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/22/us-usa-texas-death-idUSKCN0PV1XM20150722
yep
once a cop tells you get out of the car your pretty much screwed and you better do it or it's going to escalate.
anyway way once he stops you and you have an additude as to why then it's not good.
i agree with you about the cops most of the time they don't use the turn signal or do a rolling stop but the deal here is who got stopped the cop or the woman and who has the badge or violation on their side him or her quote:Originally posted by redhawkk480

The Law in Fl. says 100' of signal before a lane change or a turn.It's one of the questions on the drivers written test.
thats reasonable but still shoudlnt be a violation,, again JMHO, and only because like a said prolly 95% of cops dont
Failing to signal a change of lane was pet-peeve of mine when I worked as an LEO.
In most cases it would get you stopped quicker then speeding.
This was not a BS stop, and those who feel it was are identifying themselves as the ones who are always out there darting in & out of traffic without using their turn signals.
The problem with thinking this is OK or normal is because you have not been caught yet!

It's a law, but it shouldn't be a violation? W T F kind if logic is that?
...."you signal every F'n time you change lanes, ??? , If you say yes I call BS to that too,"....
Not now and never was a cop but YES.

OK shouldnt be a law Period, But mostly for a fishing LEO NUNN said it

will ask again how many of you break that law everyday, especially LEOs...not one has answered yet
Note that on the video she's heard freely admitting to committing the violation he says he stopped her for, so any harassment argument is really moot.
The issue the trooper is faced with is that he had already made his decision that given the nature of the violation she'd committed a written warning would suffice, but then decided to arrest her for it because she had a bad attitude towards him.
It's not a criminal violation, but he's probably going to be hammered for violating agency policy because his business is law enforcement, not attitude enforcement.
back to the original post
in the video I posted, it appears he was riding her at a higher speed than she was doing, she moved over due to this, and failed to signal in doing so, and he was looking for trouble and escalated it himself over her smoking and refusing to put it out, then attempted to arrest her FOR WHAT?
man handle someone enough and youll get some resistance
the real BS was the arrest to begin with, the stop is questionable if he was riding her car, but she should have signaled anyway
People do need to understand though that if you cooperate with a police officer things will go much better for you. If an officer acts improperly, make your complaint with the appropriate person at the proper time.

I may or may not. It depends on the traffic. Mostly, it is an automatic reflex to use the blinkers.
The point is....I know it is a law....if I get a ticket, well....that's on me.
comply or get hammered, i don,t smoke,but why did he want her to put it out,smoking is not illeagle there is it? mr myopic.
Do you have a sick bird? [8D]

Wait.... Are you looking for logic in one of these threads?
I think you would have a better chance of finding a Unicorn crapping Rainbow Poop on a Leprechaun's head.
but if it pisses you when they dont give a signal changing lanes, you need some anger management
like nunn says he does it Hoping to get something else, be it an attitude , expired license, warrant etc..he said it I didnt
"I was usually not looking for a ticket, but for a DWI or a good stop so I could run someone for warrants. I think I ever wrote ONE ticket for failing to signal intent to change lanes, and I did that because the driver told me I couldn't
at least he was honest about it....and i still bet he doesnt signal every time he changes lanes....ok quick poll, who signals everytime they change lanes????? anyont , anyone

Sounds like an interesting story, but I never read past the first 'prolly'.
would you read past Probly, Prob'ly...Probably not, i dont really care what you read past
Only one side of the story now.
You referring to the audio/video dash-cam that begins before the violation even occurs, then goes on for close to an hour?[:D]
I've dealt with people like that, and she looks like she was nutty from the get go. I hate to use the term "attitude", but it went beyond a bad attitude and into some pretty weird behavior...
I think she was mentally ill and killed herself.
