This is a clear cut case were the officer was wrong.
I understand that nobody's perfect, but this is a bizarre way of making a mistake. Shouldn't every officer be mindful of pulling someone over in a safe area?
Not when they just really want to get a chance to try pit maneuver. I knew some kids in high school. Always talking about "getting to shoot someone". 2 became cops, 1 joined the army. They all "got" to shoot people. My brother was a state trooper, he quit because of the consistent eagerness of other officers to escalate to maximum permissible violence.
If you ask him, ACAB. He says the ones that aren’t, quit.
Lady literally did what you are supposed to do. She had the life of the cop in mind, as she did not create a dangerous situation for him and herself by stopping on the side on that tiny shoulder.
I do this also, I have friends who are cops and this extremely common. I used to be an idiot with a sports car/bike and every time I got pulled over, I slowed down/flashed hazards and made my way to a side street or a parking lot.
This wasn't some high speed chase, the car was not reported stolen.......the lady will sue and the tax payers will cover the bill because this idiot was eager to try a pit maneuver.
