Fine. Now show me where being told to put out your cigarette in your own motor vehicle is considered a “lawful order”. By what authority?
The trooper, who has been on the force for just over a year, has been placed on administrative leave for violating unspecified police procedures and the Department of Public Safety’s courtesy policy. The agency would not address questions about whether the trooper acted appropriately by drawing his stun gun or pulling her out of the vehicle.
I don’t know if it was a lawful order, but I certainly would not have been willing to antagonize a police officer over that particular order.
