These are the people that make policemen very happy... Call the police over trivial matters and let them get an opportunity to bring justice to these mean streets.

That's pretty petty.

Not sue the cops would really "bring justice" though.

Must be a slow news day for you.

Here's my interpretation.... cop is pissing... blind guy accidentally reaches out and touches him.... cop thinks some bathroom freak is trying to feel him up....takes him down.... then INSTEAD of letting it go and apologizing while helping him up.... becomes a true prick and arrests him.

In worked EMS for 3 years and was amazed at the frequency we’d be stuck behind some clown for 1-2 minutes before they realized we were behind them with lights and sirens and blasting the air horn. I could always tell the moment they realized we were there cause they would abruptly jerk the whell and move over. Luckily it never happened but it almost lead to an accident dozens of times. Once that happened and the lady just slammed on her brakes when she finally noticed us. It was a miracle we didn’t rear end her.

People do the craziest stuff when they see an ambulance behind them. Luckily due to my stations proximity to the 3 big hospitals in Chattanooga, I rarely ever had to run hot on the interstate.

I guess that is where I am coming from. Unfortunately, you just have some people that may not be aware at the moment that an emergency vehicle is behind them. I think it is very rare that you would have a situation where a driver is being a "jerk" and maliciously trying to slow them down.

Yeah I always thought they were idiots but never really felt they needed punishment from the law.

Anyone who has been driving long enough has inevitably been caught off guard by something that you should have been paying attention to--doesn't mean everyone who does deserves a ticket.

However, being caught off guard by a vehicle designed to catch your attention with bright blue/red/orange lights and a siren for anything longer than about 5 seconds is inexcusable to me.

For example, when my youngest daughter was being raced to Vanderbilt Children's hospital, on death's door, and we got caught behind a few cars, just for a couple of seconds, they seemed to last HOURS not seconds. My 4 day old daughter's life was literally hanging on my a thread, and the vehicle transporting her was getting held up by a few people who simply weren't paying attention.

Same thing goes for police, regardless of your disliking of my profession. We're literally trying to get to a scene where someone's life is in danger, traveling at speeds that are lethal should someone, not paying attention, pull out in front of us or change lanes or...not move.

Forget about the police giving a stern talking to just for the sake of getting in our way, that's beyond annoying, I assure you, but we're MOST concerned about the people at the scene that we're racing towards.

Should everyone be cited? No. Absolutely not. Every situation is different and should be treated as such. However, in an emergency situation, seconds matter. They definitely did for my daughter. That's what I think about when I'm running emergency traffic (lights and sirens). Police officers can't truly assess a situation until they arrive on scene, therefore we have to treat those situations as if seconds are the meaning between life and death. And someone who blatantly, regardless of intent, impedes our ability to arrive safely deserves some sort of repercussions. Not all the time but, definitely some of the time.

I agree with this. And i say that as an absent minded driver. I have passed my exit on the interstate and had to turn around because I was in deep thought, about work, home, whatever. It's scary how much of the time I am driving that i am on autopilot on the interstate...as long as i stay in my lane and don't run into the back of the person in front of me...then every thing is seemingly OK..but holding up an ambulance is something i could see myself doing on autopilot...

To the officers out there... in retrospect, was this a worthy traffic stop? How much time, energy and effort was wasted in this traffic stop? What was the goal here? Was public safety in jeopardy simply because her license plate was blocked?

It these kinds of petty, intrusive, nit-picky interactions that people have with cops that makes them hate cops.

Possible fictious tags, expired VL, stolen vehicle, unauthorized use of a vehicle, bolo for a vehicle, drug interdiction. Just to name a few reasons why a LEO needs to be able to read a license tag.

On a side not, I didn’t watch the video. Just answered your question on why an officer might make the traffic stop.

So we're flipping coins to determine who goes free and who goes to jail? Keep in mind, this is someone that was going to work... a taxpayer. Not a killer. Not a rapist. Not a thief. But a taxpayer. Disgusting...

What probable cause do you have for any of those charges?

Georgia cops use coin flip to decide whether to arrest woman, video shows | Fox News

They've only been placed on paid administrative leave! Lol!

And they still wonder why people hate cops... Is being a sadist or a psychopath one of the job requirements for being a cop nowadays? They DGAF about this woman or the consequences whatsoever. These people are out here ruining lives... careers over the most trivial of offenses. To put her fate on the result of a coin flip instead of using some basic human empathy is disgusting. If you can't make a decision on if they need to be arrested, why not just error on the side of no arrest? That would be the human/decent thing to do. But no, these psychopaths in blue want arrests, want obedient serfs, and want "good shoots" called every time they have to discharge.

They are going to argue, "we're just enforcing the law".

What's more important, enforcing the law or serving justice? Justice was not served in either of those cases.

How much justice can you expect from a system that can rob you, detain you, beat you, and even kill you at a moments notice and get away with it?

It’s like this; cops are cowards who travel in packs and go straight to guns with the slightest hint of a question of their assumed authority.

THERE ARE NO GOOD COPS. They’re only tax eating enforcers of the political class. The pointy end of the spear of a politicians agenda. That said, cops are individuals, it is the profession that is abhorrent.
