:wtf:
Yo this shit is really getting ridiculous. How far will they go? :facepalm
EDIT: The back story goes as follows:
The lady in the drivers seat was pulled over for not wearing her seatbelt. The lady and the passengers were on their way to the hospital to see the drivers dying mother and were in a hurry. During the traffic stop the police officers asked to see the passengers ID for reasons unknown. The passenger stated that he did not have an ID because it was confiscated due to driving without insurance in a prior traffic stop on a different date. When the passenger told the police officers that he had a ticket showing that he was not allowed to have his drivers license and that the ticket was in his backpack, they started drawing their guns. You can hear the driver on the phone with 911 telling dispatch that the police are pointing their guns at the car simply because he was reaching into his bag.
The video is being filmed by the drivers 14 year old son. Her 7 year old daughter is also in the backseat and can be heard crying at the end of the video.

The driver started driving erratically and made an aggressive pull to the shoulder in such a manner, that they put spike strips in front of the car before they even approached the vehicle. The passenger was also asked to exit the vehicle several times and he did not comply. According to the police chief Indiana law says that a driver and any passenger must exit a vehicle if requested to do so. I guess who's at fault relies on if that's true or not.

The drivers behavior is understandable given the situation. I think anyone would drive that way if their mother was dying at the hospital and they wanted to be with them in their final moments of life.
As far as Indiana law is concerned, I'm not sure how they handle their traffic stops but it is to my understanding that a citizen can refuse to show their ID to a police officer if the police officer has no reasonable cause to see the ID and/or the person of interest is not going to be detained for a valid reason.

A federal lawsuit accuses Hammond police of "malice" and "reckless indifference" when they smashed a car window and used a Taser on a passenger during a traffic stop last month.
But Hammond police, in a two-page rebuttal, said they resorted to force only after the passenger repeatedly refused to leave the car and kept reaching toward the back seat, prompting fears he may have had a weapon.
Neither the police statement nor the lawsuit say a gun was found in the car.
Statement from the Hammond Police DepartmentRead the story
The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 24 when Lisa Mahone was pulled over as she drove with a friend, Jamal Jones, and her two children, 7 and 14, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Indiana.
The officer told Mahone, 47, she was stopped for not wearing her seatbelt and asked for her driver's license. The officer also asked to see Jones' identification, according to both police and the lawsuit.
Mahone produced her license, but Jones told the officer he had been ticketed for not paying his insurance and did not have his license, the lawsuit states.
Jones claims the officer drew his gun "for no reason" after Jones retrieved the ticket from his backpack and "offered the ticket to the officer."
But police say Jones refused to hand over the ticket. "(Jones) refused to lower the window more than a small amount, then told the officer that 'he was not going to do (the officer’s) job' and for him to get a piece of paper," police said in their statement. "The first officer then called for back-up after asking (Jones) several more times to provide his name."
Graphic language: Watch the full video
Family cellphone video shows Hammond police officers breaking the car window and using a Taser on Jamal Jones during a traffic stop. (Video courtesy Kurtz Law Offices, Ltd.)
As the back-up officer arrived, "the first officer saw the passenger inside the vehicle drop his left hand behind the center console. . .Fearing for officer safety, the first officer ordered the passenger to show his hands and then repeatedly asked him to exit the vehicle," according to the statement.
The lawsuit says Jones refused to leave the car "because he feared the officers would harm him."
Around this time, Mahone shifted the car into gear and began moving until officers warned her that a "stop strip" had been placed in front of her car and
Mahone told the officers they were on the way to Stroger Hospital in Chicago to visit her sick mother. In a video recorded by Mahone's 14-year-old son, she can be heard calling the Hammond police department to explain the situation.
"Just give me a ticket for no seatbelt so I can go to the hospital because the doctor called me to tell me to come in because my mom is about to pass away," Mahone said as officers continued to ask Jones to get out of the car, according to the video.
One officer tells Jones if he does not step out of the car, they will "have to open the door for [him]." Jones nods and, after a few moments, one officer breaks the window with a club and uses a Taser on Jones, the video shows.
PDF: Full text of lawsuit against Hammond, Indiana, police officersRead the story
Officers pull Jones out of the car as Mahone's 7-year-old daughter can be heard in the backseat crying. The lawsuit says shards of glass hit the the girl and the boy in the back seat.
Police said the officers took the action "fearing the occupants of the vehicle may have possessed a weapon, and seeing the passenger repeatedly reach towards the rear seats of the vehicle."
According to the lawsuit and the police statement, Jones was arrested and issued citations for resisting law enforcement and refusal to aid an officer. Mahone was cited for not wearing her seatbelt and was allowed to leave.
The lawsuit accuses Hammond police of excessive force, battery and false arrest, saying the officers' actions "were taken intentionally with malice, willfulness, and reckless indifference to the rights and safety of plaintiffs."
But police, in their statement, said officers "who make legal traffic stops are allowed to ask passengers inside of a stopped vehicle for identification and to request that they exit a stopped vehicle for the officer’s safety without a requirement of reasonable suspicion.
"When the passenger displayed movements inside of the stopped vehicle that included placing his hand in places where the officer could not see, officers’ concerns for their safety were heightened," it added.
Hammond police said an officer also recorded the incident.

That's buulshiite. All we need to do is crack the window down enough to show them ID on request. They can ask you to get out of your car but you don't have to...just like you don't have to exit your HOME just because they ask you to. AND they don't have the right to enter, much less vandalize, your vehicle without a search warrant...just like if you are in your home. That would be an unreasonable search and seizure, and a violation of our Constitutional RIGHT to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects. :rolleyes:

From what I'm gathering, they placed a spike strip in front of her car after she pulled over so as not to allow her to leave, not as the car was moving :oldlol:

Well, I don't know that they specifically weren't "racist", but I don't know of any information that would indicate that they were.
I can understand his position though. If the police did actually point a gun at them for no reason, I can completely understand not wanting to get out of the car. If you have a reasonable suspicion that these people (whether they're cops or not) intend to do you harm, you have every right in the world not to comply with them. The driver did call the police.
In my opinion, the people in the car handled it the right way. Assuming of course that the part of the police pointing guns at them for no reason is actually true.

Oh yes it is, because this is a government OF the people, and FOR the people. They change laws all the time to "adjust" to us. It is not proper for cops to violate our clearly defined Constitutional right to be secure in our persons against unreasonable search and seizure. The cops should've just given that fight up once the guy declined to exit the car. The cops made him feel insecure in his person by drawing their murder sticks out when he tried to show them why he doesn't have an ID to give them. Thus, they violated his rights and the two will have a good probability of success in the lawsuit.

If there are repercussions against the police department or officers involved, I'm not so sure it will revolve around those two. It might have a lot to do with them smashing in a window and shooting a taser into a car with children in it. That was obviously traumatic for the kids through no fault of their own.

I'm guessing Jamal was 'acting the fool' and giving the cops reason to turn their attention on him ? .. I think we should hold off on judging until we see everything that happened .. either way, I can see why he would be taking a shit about getting out considering how some of these thugs handle people sometimes but it might've been better to just gtfo of the car if only to spare everyone else in the car and those children from watching a scene unfold which is what ended up happening

They turned their attention to him because they asked to see identification and he didn't have any. Could have read that yourself in the op but I guess you missed it.

This is insane. The cops were wrong. Ill never understand this logic. Why demand to see some identification, then when the person reaches for it, you draw your weapon.

But based on what was said in the video, when he reached in his bag to get the info, they drew their weapons. The passenger said they had his info, why did he have to get out of the car? They were harassing that man.

Some of you will find any reason to justify the behavior of police officers. Its just crazy. Like when the police officer shot that man in the hip for reaching for his id which was a request from the officer. And the idiots tried to justify that officers actions by saying the guy turned around too fast.
Its like I always say. Black life is just not that important. Do you think its a coincidence that the prevailing theme of these police brutality videos is whit cops and black person.

The whole story makes sense to me.
1. Lady was pulled over for not wearing seatbelt.
2. Lady pulled over erratically causing police officer to suspect something.
3. Police asked for ID from both passengers due to them suspecting something.
4. Guy has no ID and tell some story as explanation which makes the cops even more suspicious.
5. Guy reach for something to prove that his story is true. Cops pulled gun because they were afraid he could be reaching for a gun.
6. Guy refuse to give his proof to the cops.
7. Cops plead for 20 minutes for him to get out of car.
8. Cops break window and tased him.

Is that what happened? Because I didn't notice that on the video. He may have reached into the bookbag when they were walking up to the vehicle after it pulled over very aggressively, if that was the case, every cop in the world is going to draw their weapon. They are not going to wait and see if you are pulling out a weapon or not. Only the people at that incident know what happened, it's 3 minutes of video of a half hour incident. You notice they didn't have their weapons drawn once they could evaluate the situation and found out there was children in the vehicle.
You notice, the guy in the car asks for "white shirts", the officer says we don't have those. He then asks for "somebody in charge" or a "somebody that's a sergeant", I can't really make it out. The cop then says "There's our lieutenant(higher ranked than a sergeant) right there", and the guy still is combative.
The cops could have just wrote a ticket, the guy also could have just stepped out of the car. There may be lots of reasons why neither party did that, but if you want to break things down into the simplest scenario, there it is.
99% of the time, if you argue or fight with a cop at a traffic stop you lose. Only idiots want to take those odds. It boils down to common sense.
why do I always see the same posters ass kissing the cops all the time.
I notice that most the people "ass kissing the cops" in this topic, still find fault with the police, while the people hating on the cops find no fault with the driver and passenger. Kinda shows which party has more of a balanced, level headed viewpoint eh?
In the overwhelming majority of incidents like these, it's dumb people making dumb mistakes going up against dumb cops making dumb mistakes. Then the public, politicians and/or courts get to weigh in who they think is more at fault. Usually, not always, if one party uses some common sense there never is a controversy. The only real party not at fault here, is the kids.

So why didn't the guy or woman just speed up the process and get out of the car and let the cops do what they needed, and then go on with their day?
From the get go of the video the woman is speaking in a very unpleasant and bitchy tone to the officers, and the guy is being argumentative.

Assuming that is true....... I would have done exactly what the people in the car did. Stay in the car and call the police to explain the situation.
The police SHOULD have sent 2 other officers to deal with it and removed the police who had pointed their weapons at them from the situation.

Or like saying these cops are racist without an iota backing that idiotic claim up.
Lol. This is preposterous. So the men and woman that are paid through our tax dollars to protect our cities are so scary that I must prepare them for every movement in a routine traffic stop? t
Considering what they see on a normal basis, they will be weary about any "routine" traffic stop. Just yesterday morning, a DPS Officer in Phoenix was murdered during a routine stop.
And your so big on following the law to a tee. Is it illegal to look in the back of his car? Especially when his children are back there?
Looking into the backseat is entirely different than reaching. How can it be compared?
Yes. Until proven otherwise. Does he have any reason to suspect its not true?
Does he have any reason to believe it is? Everyone comes up with some type of story to try to get out of a ticket, and I've heard them all from friends, family, and local officers I converse with on a consistent basis. One guy even said he was speeding due to a similar situation, but claimed his kid got hit by a car. When the officer offered to escort him to the hospital he said his kid was being transported too (this was a black driver by the way), dude changes his story and said he had no kids.
I agree. I stated the same thing in my last post.
So why not put blame on them as well, as opposed to claiming these cops were racist?
Those people weren't lying about the police drawing their guns.
And it has never been denied by any party, so them telling the truth on that means....?
Did they mention, during 10% of this incident, that the susp refused to cooperate and was being an asshole, even after a Lt. came onto the scene? Did they mention how erratic the driver was driving, leading to the strips being planted? Or did they tell one side of the story?
Again I agree. But again. Reaching into YOUR glove compartment does not warrant the police putting a gun on you. Especially if he asks for something you normally keep there.
No, it does not, and I was quite pissed about it. But I didn't act like an asshole about it and refuse to comply with anything, sans him wanting to search my trunk without any exigent circumstances, which he didn't end up doing. Got my "warning" and was gone within 15 minutes.
I mean, unless the cop was Turkish and hated Armenians, I can't see race being a factor there. Just like race isn't an iota of a factor here.
If you want to play the race card, play it in cases that it would be justified. Such as the Christopher McCowen case. Or the black adopted son that got pepper sprayed as he was thought to be an intruder, most likely due to being the only non white person in the house.

the shattering of the window seems a bit extreme maybe ? .. it looks like they just got fed up and said 'fk this' .. is that really the proper response with the car full of people and children ? .. you could argue that he could be 'setting them up' to grab a gun and fire at them so they had to end the 'stand off' .. but I don't know .. maybe they could've done it differently ..
the driver and passenger could've handled it differently as well .. they're probably spooked from these other 'stops gone wrong' that have been going around on the news ..
ultimately though, it's just your best bet to be polite and do wtf they say(as long as it's not fkng with your rights and all that of course) .. some cops are going to be dks no matter what even if you're polite(it's happened to me) but usually it goes 'ok' when I've cooperated .. and why would you get all combative and act like that if you are black, knowing what you know ? .. I don't know .. I'm not in their head

The cops shouldn't have smashed the window with the kids in the vehicle, no one is disagreeing with that. But how long do you think cops are supposed to sit there and ask him politely to get out of the vehicle? The guy asks for a superior, and the cop says his lieutenant is right there, but instead of wanting to speak with him or her, he changes the subject and starts complaining again.

Again, the police aggravated the situation when they drew their. weapons on him. Why did they pull their firearm out? Because.he reached for the notice in his bag that the police asked for.
So now lets say after the guns have been drawn (and then put away), he complies and exits the vehicle. Any move the officer or officers deem suspicious may cost this man his life. And correct me if im wrong, but "my bads" dont get people their lives back. The passenger could've stepped on a twig and the officer may hear it and mistakenly think the guy is cocking a gun and then he pulls out a gun and blows his head off.

Another thing Sunsbookit.....
While I agree that if the people in the car are so much in a hurry just comply and move on, I also believe that if you fear for your life, all other things take a back burner to safety. Lets go through whats been stated.
The officer performs a routine traffic stop for no seat belt.
He notices the passenger looking in the back seat (why thats suspicious is beyong me but whatever).
He askes the passeger for identification. The passenger says HIS DRIVERS LICENSE WAS TAKEN FROM HIM IN ANOTHER TRAFFIC STOP AND ONLY HAS THE PAPER STATING SUCH IN HIS POSSESSION TO SHOW WHO HE IS. He then goes to retrieve the paper from from his bag and that's when the cops pull their guns out, thus creating the standoff. Having a weapon pulled is what created this situation. Had they not done that, the ordeal takes perhaps 10 minutes.
Why do I say such? For two reasons.
1. You hear the lady saying, pleading with the officer to write her the citation so she can go. Even telling the officer "you already have my info".
2. The man had just recently been pulled over and theres no record of him producing the same kind of reaction. And he gave the police the info he had.
What you're expecting fron the citizens in this situation is highly unreasonable.

Lol. You can't be serious. The police dont have carte blanche to do whatever they want. Theres rules that they must abide by as well.
You keep stating that its lawful for the police to demand passenger exit the vehicle if told to do so. Well its NOT illegal for a father to look in the back seat of a car especially if his children are back there. But you refuse to acknowledge that.
Either way, the bottom line is once again you got the police overreacting to a situation. And treating another black man as an animal. And people like you feebly attempting to justify the actions of them.

A free people SHOULD resist a police state that has lost respect for our Constitutional rights and humanity in general, and meet it with the intensity said rights are being violated. I wouldn't expect anything less of my fellow Americans. That passenger had a right to be secure in his person and be left alone.
If he was the driver? I would say he needed to cooperate since he would've been the one suspected of a crime although victimless as it is (seatbelt /smh).
Once the driver told the officers the story, they should have been offered an escort to the hospital. There should be no threat to issue a ticket or useless escalation of the situation by harrassing the passenger with kids in the back seat. He was NOT a threat to their *safety*. It was the other way around.
I like what someone else said already...If you're so damn scared of people that you have to jump up with weapon drawn just because someone follows your order to present ID, then you shouldn't be a cop. :facepalm

They did listen to the cops. She provided her info, the cop got suspicious of the passenger because he kept looking in the back seat or reaching for something, asked for his identification, and when he reached for it, then drew their weapon on him. And thats when they demanded that he exit the vehicle. He said he wasn't because he was afraid for his life.
You don't understand that concept?

A free people SHOULD resist a police state that has lost respect for our Constitutional rights and humanity in general, and meet it with the intensity said rights are being violated. I wouldn't expect anything less of my fellow Americans. That passenger had a right to be secure in his person and be left alone.
If he was the driver? I would say he needed to cooperate since he would've been the one suspected of a crime although victimless as it is (seatbelt /smh).
Once the driver told the officers the story, they should have been offered an escort to the hospital. There should be no threat to issue a ticket or useless escalation of the situation by harrassing the passenger with kids in the back seat. He was NOT a threat to their *safety*. It was the other way around.
I like what someone else said already...If you're so damn scared of people that you have to jump up with weapon drawn just because someone follows your order to present ID, then you shouldn't be a cop. :facepalm
And this is what I mean by trust but verify. Check out the story and if its a lie arrest the woman for obstruction of justice. If she was found to be lying, a simple traffic ticket that costs a couple hundred bucks turns into a couple thousand. On top of the original offense of not wearing a seatbelt.

Hmmmm, it looks like the guy had an arrest warrant out on him for failure to appear on a drug charge in 2007. No wonder he was reluctant to get out.
