Did you hurt your arm trying to reach that far?
Was she in her vehicle or a no smoking area?
If telling her to put a cigarette is a lawful order...then telling her to light one up would be too ...right?
Technically, ordering to light up could be a lawful order, but doubtful because it could cause harm to the person. Ordering the cigarette out causes no harm at all and doesn’t violate any rights so it is a lawful order.
That isn’t stretching. I’m telling you what is within a cop’s authority.
