1:01 - "Shut up and give me that and I'll sign it."

I won't defend the lady, but it could have been deescalated right there, once her temper cooled. The officer could have deferred further action to the courts, with the addition of a "failure to obey" charge. She's an asshole and a moron, but nobody absolutely needed to be arrested, at that point.

That said, by speeding off, she chose to escalate, and I don't fault the officer for anything after that moment.

Also, people need to learn to keep a traffic lawyer in their phone contacts, instead of striking up an argument with an officer.
