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

    Seems like a chickenship stop but I didn't see that so don't know if it was dangerous to other vehicles. She also had other violations in the past he may or may not have known of, DUI, drugs.
    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 a "black lives matter" activist from the big city, she did everything possible to aggravate the situation.
    She was looking for trouble, and she found it.

    All I am saying is a BS traffic stop...Nunn would prolly disagree, Stopping someone for lack of a lane change signal, give me an F'n break I dont care what she was, black, green , Red, yellow Or purple, Or her past

    A BS stop

    Like I said, none of us saw the move she made. There are laws about erratic lane changes. I have seen and been the victim of some * that speeds past only to suddenly veer over across my lane to get to an exit.
    Having an opinion without seeing or knowing exactly the situation is a little absurd, is it not?

    nothing about wreckless driving, I can see that traffic stop , just a no signal violation, if thats all it was, nothing more, nothing less, is that not a BS stop?? i dont give a signal for a lane change unless someone is that close to me, never have in 45 years of driving, and have changed lanes without a signal with LEOs around, They dont do it either, maybe 1 out 100

    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.

    Failing to signal intent to change lanes is a traffic code violation good reason to stop. I have made many stops for the same violation.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    not saying it wasnt a violation, but it shouldnt be unless its wreckless, cops do it, all the time, rolling stops or not stopping at all at signs...

    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

    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

    does not matter if he was or was not going to give her a ticket ,what matters is he had the law on his side legally to stop her. all he wanted to do was see who and what she was & doing. now if she acted suspicious,turned her head away as not to be seen,gave him a go to hell look,or made a gesture of sort to lead to a (find a reason) stop then that is what they are going to do.
    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.

    I must be one of the 1% of LEO's that always signal when they change lanes.

    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!

    Stopping a car for a minor traffic violation with the sole intent of checking for other, more serious violations is completely legal and has been upheld all the way up to SCOTUS - as long as the reason for the stop is a valid violation. In court this is openly acknowledged and referred to as a pretext stop.

    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.

    well I too don't appreciate those that do not signal lane changes, law or not its rude dangerous and annoying , it needs enforced YES but so does texting and cell phones which are not




    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

    In my state you are only required to signal when any other vehicle may be affected by the movement.
    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.

    if they stomp the breaks when i am behind and dont give a signal i dont like it, but i dont get pissed

    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

    What really started the escalation was he asked her...do you mind putting out your cigarette....she responded...yes I do...beginning of the end. simple case of obey now grieve later whether she liked it or not. At the point of escalation the point of the traffic stop was over. Officers are trained to rise above smart *...he didnt
