I just watched the video. it was full. and holy freaking crap, there's no need to watch it multiple times. the officer acted that fast is just.. - b. Jul 29, 13:55 18
- I had to watch it a second time to realize what had happened. Then it struck me, and I was a little bit sick. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 14:21
- I agree with everything you said. I just am trying to figure out what the best alternative course should have been. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:58 16
  - Pursue. Don't pursue. Show up at his house later with an arrest warrant. This wasn't a violent crime. This was a traffic stop. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 14:25
  - follow him. have other cops corner him. they do this all the time. - Andie Jul 29, 14:02 13
    - I'm just thinking of the time I misinterpreted a cop's direction at a checkstop, and wondering if that'd have gotten me killed in the US somewhere. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 14:10 11
      - yah, I think I've shared about an incident in salem, mass. years ago that was kind of similar to andie's. scared the heck out of me. if it had been - b. Jul 29, 14:26

        I was pretty nervous on my last two trips to the states. - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:26
      - When I was a kid I remember my dad getting pulled over for a ticket and he got out and went ballistic on the cop yelling at him. I'm sure he would - pmb Jul 29, 14:15 1
        
        My dad cut off a cop in traffic and got pulled over as a result. And, as usual, he got belligerent about it. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:18
      - i once drove right by a cop at a RIDE stop - they were positioned in a place with all sorts of back lights and it was raining, and there were just - Andie Jul 29, 14:13 2
        
        I bet you got coupons then. I've never been given anything during a RIDE stop -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:14 1
        
        i did not. i was just waved on. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 14:15
      - When I got pulled over on the highway in Texas, I was called to the back of the car. My friend got out of the car ... - zork Jul 29, 14:13
      - Are you black? Not likely for you. Unless they're tallists. -- nm* - jnine Jul 29, 14:10 1
        
        This. If you're not black, you get a pass. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 14:26
    - Of course I agree with the IM -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:07
  - Following the proper procedures would be the best alternative course. Maybe we should try googling for procedure books? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:02
Hmm, I thought I saw that it was half full but I didn't watch mutliple times. I take it that the law there says that it should not be in reach though. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:52 22
- No, it just can't be open. If the seal was intact then that alone isn't enough for ovi. - Ender Jul 29, 14:03 1
  - I think it's harsher here and need not be open. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:05
- then ticket him. that's a ticket. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 13:53 19
  - There were multiple issues (no front plate, no licence on him, bottle in reach, confusion). I think he was about to do a roadside sobriety test when t - zork Jul 29, 13:56 18
    - I believe I heard him say that since he can't produce a license he's going to have a look around and goes to open his door. - Krusty Jul 29, 14:01 17
      - Not really, he asked him to take off the seat belt and then he pulled the door. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:06 14
        
        Thanks, I had seen a transcript of the encounter. I could hear the cop better than the guy. - Krusty Jul 29, 14:18
        
        And one thing he should have done is politely explain what he was going to do before he did it. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:07 9
        
        For sure and both parties did things incorrectly - zork Jul 29, 14:10 8
        
        Proper procedure is proper procedure. The cop didn't follow it. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:13 7
        
        I'm not a cop but I'm not sure that he did anything wrong before firing the shot. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:15 6
        
        I don't think anyone has said he did anything inappropriate until that point, except not communicating well. -- (edited) - b. Jul 29, 14:20
        
        Pulling the door without announcing his intentions was one. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:19 2
        
        Not sure that is correct in this situation. Sometimes cops need to put politeness aside and take charge. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:22 1
        
        It isn't necessarily politeness, but announcing intentions before doing something is proper procedure. -- (edited) - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:26
        
        Well, he pulled his gun ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:16 1
        
        In the US, that seems to be one combined action. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:17
        
        Sounds like the officer was ... tense. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:07 2
        
        Go stand in the corner -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:08 1
        
        Oh no I've said too much ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:10
      - I'm so glad that I'm not a cop. When I make mistakes, I don't have to worry about someone losing their life. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:03 1
        
        Or a doctor/paramedic. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:06
