Her crime? She was talking on her cell phone.
She never resisted and was obviously terrified.
I love the golden rule and I can only hope
that they do to your wife (better yet, you) what you did to someone else.
Young woman was pulled over for improperly using
her cell phone by California Highway Patrol officers. After first stopping on
the right shoulder, she was ordered to not stop there, to go forward and get
off freeway. Because of rush hour traffic noise, she did not hear clearly
what she was directed to do.
Additionally, besides being typically scared
after being lit up, and now confused about where she should go, she thought
that she should go to the shoulder on the left side of the freeway and she
changed lanes to her left to do this. When the CHP vehicle followed and then
turned on its siren, she was told to pull off the freeway again, which she
promptly did on the right shoulder after driving less than 1/4 mile. Once
stopped, she was told to turn off the ignition, throw the keys out and exit.
She did that and then two officers approached, one pointing his gun at her,
yelling for her to turn around. She just stood absolutely paralyzed in terror
with her hands open and to her side.
As the officer came up to her, she told him
she was pregnant (which the officer admitted in his report), as she turned
around in fear of him. The officer then kicked her feet out from under her
and slammed her to the pavement face down. He then bent down on her, putting
his left his knee on her neck, handcuffed her while also kicking her rib cage
with his right foot. Even though she never resisted whatsoever, back up
officers then HOGTIED her. She was then lifted up and placed on her left side
in the back seat of the patrol car and driven to the station, which took about
20 minutes.
The police report stated falsely that after
exiting the car, she was talking incoherently even though she said nothing
except being pregnant, and that she was hogtied because she was flailing her
legs, which she clearly did not. She is charged with evading and resisting
arrest.
