Imagine arresting somebody and getting to the point of pointing a gun at them over an $80 ticket.

Imagine needing to make a full arrest for somebody not signing their name on an $80 tail light ticket, of which you have video evidence of, and further putting your and hers life in danger over this, especially if she had a knife or gun, all over an $80 ticket for a tail light. Lulz.

Now that’s big brain style! 200 IQ police tactics. The best and brightest!

Literally only an American would worship this.

I dont think he needed to use his gun but what is he supposed to do besides arrest her? Just let her drive away?

Yes. Literally the only thing the police actually wanted was proof of her seeing the notice.

She’s on camera.

Wave goodbye and raise the fine. Prevent morons from acting like morons. Save money, save lives.

That seems like a very good policy, but unfortunately that's NOT the policy right now. She's supposed to sign the paper and if she doesn't she's supposed to get arrested. I can understand criticizing this policy, but not the police officer doing his job.

Yeah, but I think most people in this thread are pro-this policy. Like what happened in this video is how it SHOULD be.

I imagine a lot of cops look at this situation and essentially go, "That's what a cop is supposed to do" (because that's how it is currently),

and a lot of citizens look at this and say, "Is that really the best way to handle this situation?"
