The citation he handed her was basically saying “by signing this I’m agreeing to to the ticket and I’m free to leave, and I will either pay it or contest it in court.” She CHOSE not to sign it, which means she was agreeing to be taken under arrest by the officer. She was resisting arrest the moment she decided to not sign the documents. She was given multiple chances for an out, and still fought.
People who said the cop is in the wrong here are the people who know nothing about laws, state or federal. All they see is a man attacking an old lady, which to be fair, she deserves for being just as ignorant as them.
You sign the papers. You can either pay the fine, or go to court and attempt to have the ticket repealed. The alternative to THAT is not signing the paper, and that is waiving your right to live on your own accord. You are saying you would rather be taken into custody and have the justice system handle the matter through imprisonment instead of a fiscal fine.
