That was so racist! She should post this on Facebook.

Jody Owens would prosecute the office and Carlos Moore will represent the lady for excessive force

@ 9:43 Not likely. The accused is white.

I couldn't be a police officer. I won't have showed that much restraint.
I would have lite her up with the stun gun until she peed her pants!

But don't you understand? She has been trying to find a bed for over 6 months!!! I mean, why should she follow the law when she is trying to buy a bed???

So it’s an arrest-able offense to not sign your name on a ticket, even if you don’t have time to read it or consult with an attorney? Stupid woman should not have driven off, but tough guy didn’t need to arrest her for a busted tail light. And why do people have to sign a ticket? Stupid policy. Stupidity is evenly split 50/50 on this one.

A truck bed (which makes the story slightly more sensical, but still, I know)

@ 10:37. Some states require signature to prove receipt of citation. Had an OK license so I'm just assuming this was in OK and not our stellar state. This is to avoid the usual (MS) excuse in court of I never got a ticket from anyone. He didn't arrest her for a Busted Taillight, but for Failure to comply and fleeing from police. I agree on the point of her being DAS for driving off, but she said, "I'm a country girl" (translated, I am gonna do what I want). I personally would have let her drive off then papered the hell out of her and an arrest on warrants later, like in church or at the Sack and Suds. Apparently knows the family. Can get a short bed on E-Bay. Was told that by a friend.

Signing the ticket is just your promise to appear in court. MS eliminated that requirement years ago for reasons that are all too obvious.

Ridiculous. Testosterone on display. Nobody is required to sign anything presented by a police officer. Period. I hope he was terminated. Not even fit for demotion to Animal Control.

Little Pecker Syndrome on Display. I hope she's the mother of a fellow officer who will whip his smart young ass!

Signing a ticket is not an admission of guilt.

Failure to comply.

I especially liked the part where she asked to turn off the ignition after previously fleeing.

Everything hurts.

I'm very pro-cop but fire this clown. He fits the California mold.
The cop was very nice and quite totalitarian.

Anonymous said...

The cop could have handled it this way.

Cop: "I appreciate your honesty. I'm giving you a warning to get the brake light fixed this week. After this week, if I see your truck I'll give you a ticket that will cost $80.00."

Old lady: "Um, okay. Thank you."

End of story.

I blame the cop as much as the old lady. I'd expect better from Barney Fife. The lesson here is clear. Never give a cop a straight answer. Friendlt chit chat will only get you into trouble.

"Yeah I tried to kick ya, I'm a country girl"

Watched this early this morning, and five hours later . . . I'm still laughing my ass off at that comment.

I'd love to see the Mayor's reaction after he/she viewed the video. I'm assuming the officer is seeking new employment?

How many times do I have to prove I'm not a robot?

No reason to give a ticket for a busted tail light. This cop has a problem! Should be removed. This is overkill for a minor nothing offense. Should have given her a warning and told her to get it fixed.

Anonymous said...

"Failure to comply" is bullshit. Nobody is required to sign a damned ticket. Period. He pushed her to point of frustration and anxiety. She over-reacted. But he knew he was harassing and pushing her to that point and he got off on it.

Maybe he could sell minnows at the Shell station on Lake Harbour.

If she actually got the taillight fixed and brought proof of the repair to the judge on her court date, a reasonable judge would likely dismiss the ticket. I really don’t understand people who feel they have an automatic right to leniency for criminal offenses that they, personally, deem inconsequential. If you do receive leniency, it’s because somebody decided to give you a break, not because you’re entitled to it.

I'm proud of the lack of the usual bootlicking you see. It must be because it is California. I would hope the reactions would be the same if it was one of niknar's roided up manlets bullying an old lady.

Disgusting display by cop.

There are many states where a driver IS required by law to sign a ticket. It is not an admission of guilt but rather an acknowledgement of receiving the ticket. This way, a driver can't later claim they never received a ticket. The officer certainly could have given a warning for the broken taillight cover, but that is left to the officer's discretion. When the woman told him she'd been driving like that for six months, knowing it was illegal, he wrote a ticket. No problem there. Once she dove off, he had no incentive nor expectation to treat her with kid gloves. I'm not always pro-police, but this officer did nothing wrong.

4:09 - NEWSFLASH! An inoperable tail light on an automobile is NOT a 'criminal offense'.

Anonymous said...

Looks like the officer handled it politely and professionally. The lady escalated the situation because she thinks that she is above the law.

Kingfish said...

Driving away in the middle of a traffic stop and THAT is what got her in serious trouble, not the busted tail light and refusal to sign ticket.

4:09 said...

Dear NEWSFLASH,

Please review the following California laws and educate us as to why "[a]n inoperable tail light on an automobile is NOT a 'criminal offense'"

1. "A crime or public offense is an act committed or omitted in violation of a law forbidding or commanding it, and to which is annexed, upon conviction, either of the following punishments: . . . Fine" Cal Pen Code § 15(3).

2. "It is unlawful to operate any vehicle or combination of vehicles which is not equipped as provided in this code." Cal. Veh. Code § 24002(b).

3. "Stoplamps on vehicles manufactured on or after January 1, 1979, shall emit a red light." Cal. Veh. Code § 24603(e(1).

My bad. Here's the Oklahoma law:

"Every motor vehicle, . . . shall be equipped with at least two tail lamps mounted on the rear, . . . which, when lighted, shall emit a red light visible from a distance of one thousand (1,000) feet to the rear . . . " 47 Okl. St. § 12-204(A).

"It shall be a misdemeanor . . . for any person: To drive . . . any vehicle or combination of vehicles which . . is not at all times equipped with such lamps and other equipment in proper condition and adjustment as required in this chapter . . . " 47 Okl. St. § 12-101(A)(1)(c).

4:09 - Please tell us what California law has to do with this situation. This did not happen in California.

I wish we had cops like that in Jackson. We could solve all our city’s financial woes by issuing moving violations to the idiots who run red lights and don’t stop at stop signs in a matter of a few months. Where’s the political will to enforce the laws in this s######e of a city?

Anonymous said...

Regardless of the law, the thing people come away from this with is the fact that the officer deliberately pushed the woman to the point of an emotional reaction. That was not accidental. He should have stopped pushing and simply recorded the fact that 'motorist refuses to sign' and let a judge deal with it. This rookie is a dickhead.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
