1. I didn't realize he was riding her ass. I must have missed that part of the video.
She should have calmly put her signal on, and moved out of the way. None of this would have ever happened if she would have followed basic laws.
2. It's not abuse of power, he very politely asked her if she would put it out. She doesn't have to comply, but it would be the polite thing to do.
Again, if she would have been polite and courteous, none of this would have ever happened. She was looking for a fight, and she got one. Just didn't go the way she planned.
Regarding point 2, the problem is that he became IRRITATED after she didn't put out her cigarette. She has every right to refuse and it should have been a nonissue at that point, since it has absolutely no bearing on why he pulled over.
Sorry, you can't blame the victim. Cops need to keep their cool, and if someone refuses something, and its within their right, cops need not address it. If a cop can't do that, then they shouldn't be cops.
Its VERY sad that people will actually says, "she was looking for a fight." No, she wasn't. She was exercising her right to refuse, since she was not breaking the law. It should have been a nonissue. Would you rather live in a police state?
But its bullshit, because even when people refuse politely, cops still make a big deal. You can't win with them. Either you comply or else..........
Thats like saying, "Well, the girl should not have been wearing that short dress and looking for trouble." Blaming the victim.

I have no problem with complying when I am breaking the law. But people shouldnt have to comply if they are NOT breaking the law. Thats a total abuse of power.
