1. Yes, she violated the law. And I bet this police force does not investigate crime such as B&E, etc. They pick on car infractions because it makes $$ for them
2. It is Orwellian, the government has no right to know my travels. Even if I was meeting with the Sinaloa Cartel for a drug buy, I am not going to tell the cop that. I am going to lie. The question then becomes a stupid exercise, in which only the law abiding comply with. I am not a sheep, my travels is none of your business.
3.He lost the battle. He is now marked by the black people in his community. He is marked, and now at risk. So is his family. He did not win this at all.
4. The reason why cops are getting such bad press is their attitude is now being exposed for all to see.I used to respect police, but after a few encounters in which they were complete jerks, it has changed my attitude toward them. It is not just me, it is also my friends who are upper middle class who have experienced bad interactions. The cops used to pick on inner city poor, but now in their mind every one is a perp. They are treating all classes equally as bad, and now they have crossed the line with the public.
5. The cig did not prevent the cop from looking inside the car.That was adequate enough for a search. He wanted to get her angry, so he could expand the interaction.

If you cannot defend yourself against a cig when you are standing, and the woman is sitting behind a car door seat belted in, you should not be a cop. You are a pansy, not a cop.

1. You really need to learn about TX law enforcement BEFORE you make silly statements. This police force, DPS, is also call the Highway Patrol for a reason. They enforce traffic/DWI/Drug trafficking laws on the highway. That is their sole purpose. They do not usually deal with B&E, since that is not their State mandate. Highway Patrol in any State deals with the highway and not local city crimes.

2. Yes, you will lie, which is why the cop will ask you questions to try and catch that lie. That is the sole purpose of the questions. So you may not like the questions, but the law disagrees with you. If you don’t like the law then change it. Otherwise, you must comply with the law.

3. I don’t think him being marked by black people is an issue in TX. There is a reason blacks don’ riot in TX because they will be shot by the cops and the citizens. People in TX are generally tired of the lies and abusiveness caused by blacks. Texans are tired of their entitled behavior so good luck with that. We don’t put up with that crap here.

4. Cops are getting bad press cause of the media pushing the lies of the black victims and so far, in nearly every case, the cop has been vindicated by the courts and juries. I think blacks are the ones getting the bad reputation for constantly lying and being disrespectful to cops and any authority.

5. He may have been a jerk and he may have wanted to get her angry, but that doesn’t matter. She is responsible for her own actions and she is required by law to comply with his lawful orders. She violated the law multiple times. The cop may be a jerk, but he never violated the law.
What gives her the right to violate our Texas laws?? Just because she wanted to or felt entitled or didn’t like his attitude?? Sorry, but that doesn’t fly here in TX.

Again, your ignorance of TX law and law enforcement is very telling.
