So, why didn't the out-of-jurisdiction state trooper tell her about running a stop sign when she asked? Why did he only tell her about the failure to signal a lane change?
I submit that he would have had to write her a ticket for the stop sign, but could just give her a warning for the lane change, so that's what he did.
He was killing time on a college campus, is what it looks like to me. I suspect it looks like that to his bosses, too - which is probably why he's been suspended.
Local police bosses are becoming more and more an extension of the Obama and MSM national political correctness.
That's why he is suspended.
Maybe .. but I suspect he was suspended because he had no reasonable right to tell her to put out her cigarette (unless she threatened him with it; nor demand she get out of her car. All he had to do was write her a ticket and let her be on her way.
My suspicion .. he could smell the pot .. either from the inside of the car, or when she opened her mouth to speak.
Remember, when officers are trained, one of the first things they learn is what POT smells like. You never forget it; you can smell it a mile away.
