The first thing that jumped out at me, who in the hell gets pulled over for throwing cigarettes out the window, on the interstate? The female cop asked for it to be videoed. Didn't seem to be worried at all that she might be doing something unethical. Something don't add up here.

Texas will stop you for throwing a cig out the window on the highway if they see it, especially during fire season.

That “Don’t Mess With Texas” is actually an anti-litter campaign.

That was very graffic indeed. But a bit too graphic for my tastes.

We are in a horrid drought here in Texas right now. Throwing a cigarette out of the window of a car could conceivably cause a prairie fire that could have horrible consequences.

Seems like here in Texas the DPS has been seriously downgraded by poor hiring. These new patrolmen are nothing like the DPS Officers we used to have. Same can be said for local and county. Get a funky haircut and you are god to go.

Female cop looked like a dyke from Austin we use to see walking down 6th street looking for some action.

It’s not really that bad. At least in the DFW area, it’s pretty wet from October through the end of April.

Seems to me, the crime of sexual assault is much worse than the crimes of which the drivers were suspected.

You’d think so, and in some parts of the country you’d be right, but the risk of grassfires in TX in mid-summer is real, and they can be severe. What the cops did after they got those women pulled over was moderately reprehensible, but the reason for the stop itself was laudable.

I don’t have much pity for smokers that toss butts out of their cars. That’s littering for one and a fire hazard for another.

If I was a cop, I'd ticket everyone I ever saw do this. The world isn't your damn ashtray; throwing butts out your window is disgusting, trashy behavior. So I think a ticket is well warranted. Sexual assault is a different matter though. Now excuse me, I have to make a ffone call.

Regardless of how one feels about marijuana or drug use in general, it seems to me to be totally ludicrous that police officers should have the right to do full body cavity searches on the side of a public road on people who are suspected of having marijuana in their possession. And so what if their search did turn up a marijuana cigarette or two. Do we really need to be filling up our prisons over such nonsense as this?

As for throwing cigarettes out the window, yes, definitely issue a citation for that. I hate it when people litter too. But no way did that traffic stop warrant a search like that.

I believe the cops involved with this were fired and are being sued.

A warrantless roadside cavity search without probable cause is only “moderately reprehensible”?

They were searching for drugs (Pot) not cigarettes.

Graffic language is the worst.

Especially during a traphic stop.
