I disagree.
She is guilty of contempt of cop.
Did she refuse to sign the ticket?
She refused to put out a cigarette.
Dead now.
Justice?
Who killed her?
I agree with her that she should not have had to put out her cigarette just to receive a failure to signal ticket.
I would be interested in someone offering a moment by moment legal analysis of what’s happening.
The key moments start when he asks her what’s wrong. She responds, giving her version of the events (You pulled me over for no good reason). He doesn’t like that—even though she responded directly to his exact question.
Then, he orders her to put out her cigarette. She refuses. He then orders her out of the car. She obviously considered that order unlawful. Was it? It seemed kind of borderline to me.
