A young woman claimed she was tased by Flowood police earlier this week during a traffic stop. WAPT reported:
Some observations:
*She repeatedly refused to give her license to the police. The police asked her over a dozen times for her license and she told them she would not give to them each time.
*She refused to get out of her car when asked to do so.
*She told police she was "fixing to" pull off. Um, the cop has his hands on the window. He is standing right by the window. She told him she was driving away. Car could potentially be a weapon at that point and she is now fleeing the police. Which is better? Chasing her through traffic or stopping her before she drives off?
*Other police officers (not connected with Flowood PD or Rankin SO) told JJ they thought the young girl tried to set up the police as she kept re-setting the camera angle.
*She raised the window up on the police.
There is dashcam video and it will eventually come out in court.

Gettin' a little bougie there, hon?
What an idiot. Officer here is my license. Ma'am here is your ticket and court date. The end.
what an idiot. how did this become a WAPT story? embarrassing.
Ridiculous. She should be in jail. Welcome to Flowood indeed.
This is the logical next step of the BLACK LIVES MATTER scam: People like Shameequiadarious here think they don't have to obey cops.
And that's what BLM wants. Zero accountability for criminal conduct, since all police are racist, and murdering blacks by the bushel.
she's a moron
What BLM wants @8:40 AM is anarchy and redistribution.
Flowood PD usually don't play around. Good luck sister.
Thank you Flowood Police for serving and protecting. Thank you for keeping my property values high.

8:24 You are making things too simple.
At 9:27 I know but the simpler the easier
I think she be seein' dolla signs..............$$$
Go talk to Kenny Stokes. He'll make you feel empowered. In the mean time, "Welcome" to the "burbs"! You're lucky our officers are well trained, or you could've ended up lookin like swiss cheese. Sweetheart, You-Are-Jackson!
She should have complied with the cop, but Flowood PD is pretty zealous about writing traffic tickets which is a BIG source of revenue for the city.
11:20- imagine that, Flowood can keep their crime rate low AND still write tickets for the city revenue. That's was you call multi-tasking. Keep up the good work Flowood!
Driving is a privilege, not a right. This dumb b*tch thinks it's all about her, not about the safety of the general public or the police.
I am NO fan of the FPD, but this young person appears to be nothing but a rabble rouser. Just wants to be on TV and have a pay-day.
I'd love to know where she works so I can be sure not to shop there.
THIS is Obama's America.

It seems Flowood has one of, if not, the strongest tax-base in the metro area. While revenue from citations is an added bonus to the city coffers and other government programs (through various assessments) that revenue is a small fraction of what keeps that government running. Diligent police traffic law enforcement is a front line defense to subduing more serious crime while making the motoring public safer at the same time.
First, a police department with a reputation with a serious traffic enforcement reputation is should be somewhat of a deterrent to would be criminals and secondly, police often find wanted persons, evidence of other crime and impaired drivers during routine traffic stops.
I realize, myself included, folks don't like being stopped much less ticketed, but I do know its all part of the bigger picture. Towns like Flowood, Pearl, Byram and Clinton all have a reputation for issuing tickets, and they all have a relatively low crime rate.
Proactive policing is a benefit to the community..... Thanks Officer!
If you don't want to get in trouble in Flowood all you have to do is obey the law. If you do that you will not have a problem and will find the Flowood police to be nice, friendly people. If, however, you choose to break the law and show your stupidity, you will find them to be very efficient in doing their job. If you have issues with the way the law is enforced in Rankin County or any of the municipalities located therein, it would be in your best interests to stay over on the west side of the Pearl river.
Thank you Flowood P.D. for a job well done.
The Flowood Police do their jobs in a very efficient manner. A couple of months ago I was traveling Lakeland Drive in the Dogwood area. It had started to rain and my vehicle starting sputtering and trying to go dead. I was able to turn into one of the exits by the shops and immediately a Flowood Policeman came to my aid. He was able to push my vehicle out of the path of traffic and stay long enough with me until I called someone and to make sure that I was safe. This young woman, who this article is referring is nothing but a trouble maker. I saw her on the news and it doesn't take a genius to see that she was trying to cause as much trouble as possible. They should keep her little smart mouth in jail for a long time!
Great job Flowood Police Department
They could do a better job coordinating with the RCSO. Or maybe it is the other way around?
11:10, I went to Prep a long time ago. Buddy of mine gets in a wreck senior year and the person who pulled out in front of him starts insisting to the cop that he was doing "at least 80". Cop says son, were you speeding? He replied "Officer, I've been going to Jackson Prep for almost six years. Do you think I would drive 80 in Flowood?" Response: "He's got a point."
I had a few run-ins with the Flowood PD in my younger days over mild traffic offenses and possession of substances now legal in a few states. They don't give a flying F about the 4th amendment, and I was angry at them for a long time. But as I've gotten older and become more aware of certain issues, my anger has lessened. I still think they routinely violate the constitution, but I can see their point of view now; and I appreciate the complexity of the Jackson metro situation and their desire to maintain a certain standard for Flowood. As for this girl, despite what she may have heard, there are orders from police officers the law requires you to follow. If you are innocent of the alleged infraction, the courtroom is where you make that argument.
And this is why I love living in Flowood. They keep morons out.
Flowood PD can be awful. When we moved to the area, they stopped my husband every single night when he was on his way home from work. Not once a week. Not every few days, but every single night. And that is not hyperbole. They never cited him. Pulled him over. Asked for his license and registration and let him go. This went on for nearly a month. He finally told an officer they either needed to cite him for something OR stop with the B.S. stops or he would contact an attorney. I don't think he's been pulled over since.
Sure, people should comply and give their paperwork to an officer and move on. But officers should also know that a lot of folks are not going to be nice and polite when pulled over and they should be properly trained to handle that. Calling someone a bitch because you don't like the way they respond to being pulled over is inexcusable.
12:50- Maybe hubby has a record that you don't know about and they are just letting him know they're aware he's around. Maybe he's got friends that are under investigation (birds of a feather fly together). They run plates and record checks regularly and don't stop everyone. They do keep the morons out and they make it hard for blue collar crime to take root. The white collar crime is taken care by indictments.
@ 10:33 PM Nice try, but no. But what an asinine assumption on your part. And I've lived in Mississippi long enough to know that if keeping morons out is a responsibility of law enforcement, they've failed. Miserably.
10:53 - How true! Mine are at JP now and knowing the FloPo is next door makes at least a few of them think twice!
She must have had her hair hat on too tight that day.
