That was an easy one - the cop was 100% right. Whoever posted that video with the "are you outraged?" or "all because of a speeding ticket" is an idiot. The driver was tased because he refused to comply with police orders, which, in this situation were pretty reasonable. I'm not outraged in the least. Why should a cop have to chase down or wrestle some non-compliant idiot in the middle of a busy road when he can just taser him and end it right there? Then the idiot driver keeps telling the cop to read him his rights. What a jerk. If he knows his rights, why does he want to hear them again from the cop? It didn't appear as though the cop was questioning him. If he wants to create a techicality, why does he remind the cop to Mirandize him? I've gotten plenty of tickets and that video reminded me of one I got in the desert in NV. Looked very similar. Somehow I walked away with a reduced fine (orig. was $425) and a "have a nice day". I had a gun in my door pocket and a radar detector. Why did I get off so easily? Because I don't piss off cops during traffic stops! It's not that hard.
