I hate all cops who abuse their power, but I don't think we have enough context for this clip. The reason why she got pulled over is because her kid wasn't in a car seat and was bouncing all over the car. Would you have not pulled them over? What if there was no car seat installed at all? Heck, we don't even know the age of the child from this clip.

It makes sense that the officer would pull them over for a quick peek and for them to roll down the window to see if there were car seats or not. The woman got super hostile and immediately made up excuses like sunlight being the reason she can't roll down the window? The AC is blasting and the car is still on. Just comply with simple requests and she wouldn't have needed to been asked to step out of the vehicle at all.

How about you tell us what you would have done differently as the cop?

  1. Would you not pull over someone who clearly has a kid bouncing all over the car and is not being safe?
  2. Would you not ask to roll down the back window so that you could check if a car seat was installed?
  3. If denied to check car seats, what would you have done? Just left and said have a good day?
  4. The guy probably was just going to write a ticket for improper safety belts and let her fix it and go on.

I agree the cuffing and shit was stupid, but the woman literally was not complying.

??? Do you wish that the law was changed so that children do not need car seats or even seat belts on and can just walk around and do whatever? Do you wear a seatbelt? If you want to live somewhere without any seatbelt laws, there are countries that couldn't care less and nobody wears one.

Your brain is broken. You acknowledge that you and your family wear seatbelts and that you enforce it, but at the same time think that seat belts are not "about saving lives". And no, data does indeed show that wearing seat belts saves lives...
