re: #8 mroop

Because she could have driven away instead of ending up in a cell! Of course the cop could have given her a warning and let her go and she was causing no harm by being angry. The problem is that when you cop an attitude with a cop you will never win. Take the ticket and get away from the cop as soon as possible. I will quote Chris Rock, “‘Just got pulled over by the cops wish me luck.” I’m a traffic lawyer, consider my advice to be legal advice that you can count on. Minimize your interactions with the police as much as possible. Take the ticket, say thank you, drive away. If you had a problem, call an attorney or your local Legal Services. I represent people like Sandra Bland, not cops.

Good to know a defense attorney believes in citizens giving up their 1st Amendment speech (attitude or not) in stating their displeasure with the government, as represented by the aforementioned police officer.

I have so rarely heard of an attorney referring to themselves as a lawyer. What kind of attorney are you? (Before you ask my experience with attorneys, my ex is a criminal defense attorney.)
