An Arkansas cop flipped a woman's car after she slowed and activated her hazard lights.

Yup, 27 yr veteran trooper. All for a speeding ticket. In Arkansas the drivers
manual tells you to do that if you feel it is a hazardous location. She is now
suing because they did 144 pit maneuvers last year. A comment by the trooper:
well she drove into the wall. WTF, upside down? Also: She's not very pregnant.
What a bunch of road warriors... putz's is more like it.


She should have stopped right next to the wall and hoped somebody tore
the stupid son of a bitch's door off when he tried to get out. If I were
a cop I wouldn't want to run a traffic stop in that location.

Having had an interesting adolescence I'd probably have done a brake
check about the time he was lining up...


I always wondered what happens when the cop trying the PIT ends up
next to a real driver who knows how to avoid it and puts the cop in
the ditch.
Also agree with the OP this is not something you do with a speeder. It
is potentially deadly force and should be reserved for the most
dangerous criminals.
This was a white woman, nothing will happen to him.
