I spent a lot of time in Austin, I have a son who is a cop, (I LOVE cops) and if I was the cop in this situation—well, actually, I wouldn’t have even been in THIS situation.

WTF kind of nitpickin’, stupid, ridiculous country are we becoming, anyhow? We waste our time with cr*p like this...when the illegals are pouring over the border and driving on our roads and killing people and we are dragging a woman out of her car for not using her blinker when changing lanes on a road with little traffic anyhow.

That woman was right-—what a worthless, stupid thing to do with taxpayer money.

When he stopped her he should have just told her he was giving her a warning IMMEDIATELY-—so it would have defused the indignant response. I would have been disgusted for being pulled over for the same issue. I would not have acted like this women now (with my more mature age) but if I was in my 20s or 30s, I probably would have been more angry than this woman, and rightly so.

We have given up WAY too much freedom to agencies which make thousands of rules and regulations to turn us into criminals for petty reasons......and it is evil.

Tsk tsk-—I know the importance of signals, but I don’t trust cars to use them anyhow, and I have never had an accident because of it, although many cars have pulled in front of me without using them........I drove in CA bay area for decades.

Be a defensive driver-—my father’s #1 rule on the road....”don’t trust anyone”. My father was extremely wise in many ways.

I vote that the cop had NO social skills whatsoever-—and was out of line in telling this woman to put out her cigarette and to get out of the car——that was abuse of power and antagonistic to the core. Asking how she ‘felt” was REALLY dumb and trying to escalate the situation.....why didn’t he just tell her IMMEDIATELY that he was sorry to stop her but just wanted to warn her that it was wise to use a blinker when changing lanes.

Just a waste of life—again. Waste of time. Waste of taxpayer money-—Waste of cop time, Creation of a more fascist, hateful nanny state.....it is just SO unAmerican and evil and reducing us to inhumane bots and cops into little Stasi bots for people to hate.
