I would've said "turn around and put your hands behind your back." And if I see him walking towards the patrol car, I'd say "Sir, hands on the car". And if he doesn't do it, I'd pull out the taser and say "Hands on the car!" And if he still doesn't do it or put his hands behind his back, I'd say "Hands on the car or behind your back or I'll tase you". And if he walks away or doesn't do what I ask, then I'd zap him. And if he continues asking why I'm arresting him, I'd say "we've been over this".
As much as I don't like police officers, which is as much as any of you, this guy was wrong. Jared refused to sign the ticket.
Officer Garnder: Sign the ticket.
Jared: No, I'm not signing shit.
So who was wrong? Well, I probably would've addressed this differently that the patrolman in the clip. I've would've said "Sir, I'm not gonna ask you again. If you do not sign the ticket, I'm going to place you under arrest". And if he still refuses, then I'd tell him "Step out of the vehicle".
I'm a law enforcement officer and although the man didn't sign the ticker this officer used excessive force for the purpose of his own entertainment. We are taught to learn behaviors and facial expressions etc. and in this case I'm sorry but this officer was indeed out of line. I'm sure the union and department protected him left and right but they probably shouldn't of. He did everything by the book until he refused to read him his rights. That right their in court would not hold up.
Information Pollution? That's a ironic name seeing as how you pollute the subject. Okay im gonna spell this out for you. 1 The man IS being arrested, not for speeding, but for refusing to sign the ticket. You see by signing the ticket your agreeing to appear in court, refusal one is placed under arrest to insure that one's ass is in court! So yes the man IS being arrested! (2) being tasered is for resisting arrest which is what the man did! That's what happens when actions 1 and 2 are made!
The cop is right here...all you females saying that cops are just high school bullies with badges don't have the guts to put your lives in danger like these folks do. You go straight to jail when you don't sign a ticket period! You get tased when you resist arrest period!
@32rumandcoke The man wasn't being arrested. The cop wasn't in danger. The question is: should a man who refuses to comply with a speeding ticket be shot with an electric dart? Clearly you think so.
She should have put the car in reverse and ran that douchebag pig over when he was behind the car. Most cops are nothing more than former highschool bullies/football douches who needed to find a career that pays you to be a bully.
Another US NAZI cop in action...haha it is so hillarious to see cops in action of a country which looks at itself as the supreme country of the world (btw: which is absolutly not founded by fact) and they are acting like corupt and brutal cops of a third world country.But it goes in line with my own experiences on my voyages, news and experiences of others. There are exceptions but there are disproportionatly high numbers of US cops which never should have got this job.
He should have kept his hands out of his pockets and followed instructions. If he wanted to fight the ticket the side of the road is not the place to do it. Idiot is lucky he didn't get shot.
You're all morons. Yes he should have signed and no the cop shouldn't have tazed him. Can no-one think on a higher level than "Who blame? Me think man blame... no me think cop blame... both blame?!?....*head explodes"
Was the cops life in danger? Was the alternative to shoot him down? Was the guy getting violent? Was he being physically overpowered? no... no... no....no!....
The tazer is supposed to be to protect safety, not to leverage compliance.
@coolman9999uk the guy did turn his back on an arrest and lower his arms to his pockets when told to keep them up. Technically, the cop legally can call that an act of aggression, as well they should.
The tazer is supposed to be to protect safety? "Not to leverage compliance" It actually is a compliance tool, and by the way, when someone fails to comply with an officer, it becomes a safety issue. idiot
Intrestingly this tool sued Utah, and got a settlement of 40K - which his lawyer calculated to be less than the cost the city would expend defending themselves of the suit, even though they were innocent.
Our system was screwed up. There needs to be a clause on your license agreement - refusing to sign a ticket is automatic jail (that part is already there) AND waives the right to sue the municipality for the use of reasonable force and evices currently approved by law.
@snappydoodad Apparently the cop used improper procedure when removing the barbs. he didn't use gloves and neglected some other precautions. That was part of the reason the state gave for settling. That and the fact that they saved money in court costs regardless of outcome. Obviously, Massey wouldn't have settled for a measly 40K if he thought he had more of a case, though.
It's on the written driving test, for god's sake. Signing a ticket is not an admission of guilt - it's your guarantee that you will appear in traffic court. Refusing to sign a traffic ticket requires your arrest, and transport to jail, to await trial.
I agree to a point. This was a case of a power hungry law enforcement officer that failed to be couertious and respectful of the drivers rights.At least in my state they tell you that signing the ticket is not an admission or denial of guilt. You do not have to sign the ticket.
@kansasisaband Yeah if he listened to what the fuck the officer was saying he wouldn't get tazed you dumb ass. With your attitude with society, you will be soon living in A cell with Tyrone and he will be happy to stick your opinions in up your ass.
probably avoided if the officer had explained, "If you don't sign this, i have to arrest you on the spot." if he would have said that, then i would have no problems with this.
This is a lack of communication. the dude was an ass, yes, but it just seems like the cop felt like tasing someone. So he just didn't explain the situation to the guy, which confused him, and allowed the cop to tase him.
That prick cop pulled his tazer before he even gave the drive any instructions to comply with. Sometimes I wish there were a law for citizens to protect themselves when we are victims of officer brutality, and "little man, big cop" syndrome.
@kcam04 The taster was pulled before the civilian had his hand in his pocket. Watch closely. This was pre-meditated on the officers end. His tone completely changed when the other officer arrived on scene, and the description of incident was skewed when giving the other officer the play by play. I am all for compliance with LEO, but I am also for the phrase "Protect and Serve". The officer should have never turned his back to the driver, and should have sat the driver on his hood to talk.
I don't think the driver having his hand in his pocket influenced the officer to taze him, because the officer already had his mind set. However, I would have found the taze much more justifiable for him being more of a threat to the officer's safety. No weapon was brandished, and the driver was in slow retreat. Premeditated tazing is just a case of "Don't Taze Me Bro". It could have been worked out with less force, or more verbal commands. My .02. I do see your point though @kcam04
"It wasn't officer brutality. At all, and if you think that your uneducated on what it is."
Lol...in every other civilized country the cop would have been punished for this inappropriate brutality.But it seems to me, that many US citizens are so used to brutality in general (TV, army, police) that they cant see the forest by all the trees around.
The officer may have been having a bad day. It happens to people. You cant diss all cops because of this officers errors. There are many fine officers who risk there lives everyday for this country. They deserve respect for the stressful job they do. Lord knows how hard it is to work this job. We are lucky to have police in this country.
in terms of the man having his hand in his pocket and he acted in defense of the public by stopping the man from getting into his vehicle and possibly running from him. the officer did nothing wrong but use a non-lethal weapon on a subject that may have caused a threat to his or the public's safety. GREAT JOB OFFICER
now for the Tasering of the driver. the officer was acting as he should have, 1) the driver disobeyed numerous commands to to stop fighting which he didn't do 2) he proceeded to walk back to his vehicle with his hand in his pocket. was the officer supposed to know he didn't have a weapon in it? 3) how was the officer supposed to know that the man would not get into his vehicle and run possibly killing a mother or a father or sister in a pursuit ending accident? the officer acted in self defense
WOW, i went through these comments and it astonishes me how ignorant people are of the law. If you don't sign a ticket BY LAW the officer has to detain you. When you sign a ticket its an agreement that you will appear in court, if you don't sign it, the officer is forced by law to place the person under arrest so that they are sure to appear in front of a judge. now for the Tasering of the driver. the officer was acting as he should have, 1) the driver disobeyed numerous commands
@kansasisaband Asshole cop? The guy wasn't listening to the commands of the Officer. You listen to EVERYTHING the officer says during an Traffic stop. The guy was walking back to his vehicle, that's one thing you don't want to do during a traffic stop. Is to turn your back to the officer and walk to your vehicle. Cops died because people would walk back to their vehicle and get their weapon opening fire on the officer. Same with walking out of your car as soon as you get pulled over. You Idiot.
@krims0n70 Listen moron. This is a world full of asshole cops with weapons and an authority that's out of control. Go back to sleep you idiot and when you wake up, you will be in the middle of Marshall Law. If most sheeple like yourself would realize we have sovereign rights to travel on the planet, endowed to us by our Creator, maybe you'd see my point of view. "Listening to the commands of the officer" as if he's god. They have the weapons, I guess we should just bow down. Dumb Arshe.
why do people do this .......same story over n over n over cop: I need ur liscense and regestration " ASShole" um why..uh uh... Cop" ur gonna get tazed ASShole" uh um uh....im gonna sue!
Was going to back the UHP trooper, but after watching it at the end, he should've explained failure to sign the ticket would = arrest. He overreacted, BIGTIME! His lawyer could blame it on Metallica :)
do what the cop says, dont say are you crazy and walk away from the guy, geeze dude he earned it. if he wanted to dispute the ticket he chose the wrong time to do so
OK, as someone who has had many run-ins with cops during my youth, I shall dispense a bit of wisdom. 1. If a cop tells you to put your hands on your head, YOU DO IT! No amount of talking nor action is going to make him say "Oh ok, then cancel that last order and lets talk". It's never happened, it's never going to happen. Let him/her cuff you and go from there. 2. When you get a ticket, your technically signing your own bail, until its time to go to court. If you don't sign, you go to jail.
cops think becuz. they have a bage there god ...well SORRY but your not my friend is a VTPD and i have a book on all the do's and don'ts of a officer.
@jml8841 jml8841 here on youtube have small dick. he wrote that to me in private messages. now he is angry because i let everyone know about this. so he comment everything hahahahaha poor guy. i understand him though. if i had small penis i would also be angry at strangers on intrenet. but i told him to take it up with his dad not me. but he seems not listening. yeye poor guy
8:25 - "turn around, turn around" he taser's him then says "get on the ground"...lol, what other choice does he have? it's not like he's going to run away...
The cop seems power hungry to me, and he is wasting time pulling people over without proof of their actual speed. Why can't police officers spend their time doing more important things like stopping robberies and catching kidnappers. I swear 99% of police work is sitting in a car eating donuts and pulling people over for driving 3 miles an hour over the speed limit. What a waste of tax payers money!
you dont have to sign the ticket to get a ticket. what that cop did is harrasment. period! all he had to do was drop the ticket in the window of the truck unsigned and it will still be a ticket.if yu dont show up on the court date assigned , you will have a warrent out for arrest and they will have the right to arrest you then. the cop was just bullying, he did not have to confront that guy AT ALL! you should not get arrested because you didnt want to sign a worthless piece of paper!
"I don't know why you are doing what you are doing" after being in a simulated situation I would have done the same thing. Any time an officer feels his life is in danger and/or you have a person that is not obedient to your direction, it's TIME TO TAZE! In citizens academy we are taught HANDS CAN KILL, for those of you complaining that this was wrong of the COP, tell me where the man had his right hand!? Officer doesn't know what he had in his pocket.
Are all of you people completely blind? Do you not see that knife in his pocket at 8:20? At 8:26 you can CLEARLY see him reaching into his pocket. Yeah, it could be a cellphone, but, WHAT IF??? The cop was not in the wrong, and you're a fool if you think otherwise.
Fucking Yanks all you do is perpetuate the stereotype of the stupidity of the west.
Cops are scumbag pieces of shit. They abuse people like this all the time. Cops are just abusive by nature so they become police officers so they can vent their abuse. Worthless pieces of pig shit. I'd rather have Osama Bin Laden in my home over a fucking cop
Rofl the guy was about to go back to his car, get a gun and shoot an officer. Damn right thing to do to tase the bastard. Following Officer's instructions is probably a smarter choice.
Trigger happy yankee cops...that was totally uncalled for. What an asshole!! In answer to the question " what's wrong with you?" that cops is a power hungry ,trigger happy bully who gets his jollies from imposing his will of people. i am certain that he had a good giggle about it until the law suit started.Then he cooked up a good lie to cover his actions...look up socialized psycopath..that's what he is.
@deanernet Actually, that depends on what state your from. In New Jersey, where I currently reside, the minimum requirement in order to become a cop is to be a high school graduate. In New york, you just need fifteen some odd credits and your good to go as far as meeting their requirements. Evidently, If these are the requirements for New york and New Jersey I'm sure the same could be said about the rest of the 48 states of America.
@niccareppindah201 Per the NJSP web site "An applicant must have (1) a bachelors degree, signifying completion of the undergraduate curriculum and graduation from an accredited college or university or, (2) alternatively, an associates degree or have completed 60 college credits from an accredited college or university, plus at least two years of satisfactory employment
I really don't know what world some of you people live in. This kid had his chance. Apparently the sun shines on his ass and he does not have to follow any of the rules. He deserved every volt. The Officer was more than fair. He told him why he was getting the ticket and he still refused to sign. He just felt he should show his wife how cool he was in front of the highway patrol officer.
this just goes to prove one thing, cops are paid bullies who figure ( i have a badge and a gun, you're going to do what i say or else). in short they do these things because they can and get away with it. we all know who the judge is gonna stand up for. even if the guy had deserved it, it should not have gone down like this.
the officer had a bad attitude from the start. he could have defused the situation by making his intentions clear. When the man refused to sign he should have said if you refuse to sign then i will arrest you, then when the man got out of the car he should have said you are under arrest. The officer lied to the other officer when he arrived saying he asked him to turn around twice before pulling the taser when he was reaching for it before he finished saying it the first time
This is why people get sued all the time because someone goes on a power trip. Really you do not have to sign anything, they can state that you refused to sign, however some people believe that is an admission of guilt if you sign but it is not it really acts as notice that you are aware of what you need to do in order to take care of the ticket.
@annambrown25 they can arrest you for not signing the ticket, but a level headed cop would have said if you don't sign this then i will be forced to place you under arrest. this cop wanted to arrest the guy which is why as soon as he refused he told him to get out of the car.
We are now living in a society with way too many douchebags that feel a sense of entitlement and a disregard for the law. How many times did the officer have to give an order and the douche keep ignoring?
Don't all these idiots commenting in favor of the douche realize that we end up living in a less safe society of people feel they can blow off whatever a cop says and not suffer consequences?
I hope they threw the douche in the slammer overnight and he got buttplugged by a fat black convict
Still a very weak excuse to taze. He could 've done a thousand other things to diffuse and he only told the guy "turn around" which is very much part of "turn around and walk the other way" which cops utter all the time. Looks like all my trips will be around Utah.
guy didnt listen and started walking back towards the suv, bad move! driver could have avoided the whole thing. lady didnt listen either. 2 stupid people.
Dude wasn't listening at all, which was a stupid move when someone whos wielding a weapon is telling you to do something, youd best do it (especially if its a cop), he can argue the ticket later
Dont wanna be tazered? Then dont walk back to your vehicle after a the cop told you several times to turn around
The cop wasn't justified, and the prosecutor also did not agree with the cop, it resulted in a lawsuit, and it turned out to be a good payday for the victim.
""A Vernal man shocked twice with a Taser during a traffic stop last year has accepted a $40,000 settlement in a lawsuit filed against the state and a Utah Highway Patrol trooper.
The Utah Attorney General's Office announced the settlement between Jared Massey and UHP trooper Jon Gardner on Monday.""
This is what I'm talking about, how about you do looking things up before replying with "BS"
Google it you dumb ass!
Why don't people do some research before they post info from their asses?
I would have to agree that some people should look things up before the speak out about certain issues that of which a cracker jack toy could have had a more meaningful conversation.
it's dirty fucking pigs like this that make me hate the united states police force. power trippin fucks, think there above the law cus they got a badge and a gun, like they have never committed a crime, drag them to the road and stick 10 tazers in his tiny little balls.
These are so-called "police officers" (really just "revenue agents" for the state who steal money from working families. More people need to be armed so they can dispatch these low life scums and defend their own freedom. I have several U.S. Supreme court cases which state that you can used DEADLY force against a cop if they are violating someone's Constitutional rights....email me if you'd like them...thanks.
That guy deserved it . He should of kept his mouth shut . The driver tried to control the situation from the beginnining . Wrong move and he got TASED . Don't ever argue with the police thats what court is for . Plead not guilty . You are not going to argue out of a ticket . Only chicks with big tits will get off of a ticket .
Traffic cops and traffic courts are scams run by armed criminal thugs. It has nothing to do about safety. It has nothing to do about justice. The only goal is separating you from your money, under the COLOR OF LAW.
You're an idiot. The driver calmly asked how fast he was going so he could better understand the situation. The Cop replied "license and registration....Right now!" Victim says i'm serious just wondering. Cop then gives a heavy sigh and still didnt tell him. It wasnt until the cop came back with the ticket and victims had a while to reflect on the fact that the pig started pulling them over before they passed the said speed limit sign that he had the "take charge attitude"
And there's nothing wrong with asking questions BTW. 99% of the time the Cop will answer your questions and be as helpful as possible to help you understand why you've been pulled over and cited. This Cop on this paticular day just wasnt one bit helpful which probably had something to do with the fact it was a bogus ticket.
Anyway don't think you have to tuck your tale between your legs and be submissive when you get pulled over. You have every right to ask questions.
I believe the reason you sign, is to promise to appear in court. It is not any admission of guilt on your part. If you do not sign, they you are taken into custody, and Miranda kicks in.
If you refuse to comply with lawful instructions, you end up like this chap.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
COMPLY. COMPLY. COMPLY.....The officer told him to put his hands behind his back....Welcome to the real world dip shit....comply or get arrested. The cop was doing his job!!!! Obey the law dumb ass.
This is a no brainer. Listen to the cop in the process of a traffic stop. The officer did not issue an unlawful order. The man refused to sign the ticket so the officer was going to arrest him. That is the process people. Resisting arrest = taser shot. Good job officer.
@Lincoln19581969 So..you are happy to life in a police state where right and wrong are irrelivant just COMPLY COMPLY COMPLY ! your country was built on revelution against an opressive government. When di you americans surrender your free will to the state??

I laught everytime I watch this video. HEY MORONS! See when the officer orders him to turn around with his hands behind his back. He doesnt comply and his left hand out of view... Officer is justified!
Maybe next time this douchbag will wait until he gets to court to argue his ticket.
the Cop what an idiot, I cant believe people would give authority to people like these. He probably had too much coffee cause he seemed too jumpy for the job.
This guy was and is a DOUCHE. I LIVE in utah and there are way too many idiots like this around. This guy broke the law, YOU Have to sign a traffic citation cause technically you did break the law, so if you don't you go to jail.. You can fight it all you want later but you have to acknowledge you have been cited. or the cop has to physically book you into jail cause your ignoring it, not to mention completely ignoring the cop after he's already been told he is under arrest. Dumb people FTW
The man had a bad attitude; however the police officer clearly abused his power. Officer seemed out of control emotionally & on a power-trip. Civilian won $40K from the state for medical damages from the taser & an apology letter from the P.D. The Utah man is NOT required to sign the document, nor is he required to step outside of his vehicle during detainment. Even though civilians are NOT to be moved around during detention, cops often try to do this (which elevates matters into an arrest).
What's fucked up about this is that He wasn't speeding at all. He was just coming up to the 40 mph zone on the camera when the cop pulled him over for doing 65, claiming that he passed a sign earlier which was most likely a "speed zone ahead" sign. Then he gets pissed when the guy won't sign the fucking ticket and give him the easy tally mark on his quota that he was obviously looking for. For fucks sake he was BEHIND the cop!
Cop was a piece of shit and some cops feel because they have a badge they can abuse the power it brings. They think they are god and cops like this should loose their job and never be a law enforcement official again. These are scum bags that do not protect and serve they are cruel and unjust and get away with it cause their buddys stick up for them. A bunch of fags with badges.

Just sign the goddamn ticket! There's a better chance of getting it thrown out in court than the officer saying "Oh, you're not going to sign it? Well then I guess I'll just have to rip it up and let you go, sorry for the inconvenience!" Not gonna happen
Not signing the ticket doesn't give him the right to cause the driver harm. The fact that the driver did not do what was asked of him by the officer after he was out of the vehicle gave the officer the right to taser him for failure to comply with a law enforcement official.
4. "driving too fast" otherwise known as "speeding" is the reason 90% of people get tickets. So don't try and tell me driving too fast is no reason to issue a citation.
5. Yes, he may have tasered him too closely to the roadway but its not like the officer could have said "Sir, I'm going to taser you so I'm going to need you to step away from the roadway." Let's use a little common sense here.
So how about you brush up on our laws before u go commenting on something like this?
1. If a driver refuses to sign a ticket it is the officer's duty to arrest that person, which is what he was doing by taking him out of the car
2. Signing a ticket is NOT an admission of guilt. By signing the ticket you are signing a contract that says you will appear in court for the issued citation.
3. When the suspect failed to comply with the officer and began to walk back to his vehicle the officer had every right to taser him for failure to cooperate.
This guy was tased due to non compliance, if he would have just listened to the cop that wouldnt have happened. When a cop tells you to do something YOU DO IT.
First off, this guy had this coming to him. When he was first pulled over he wouldnt give the cop his license and registration like he was asked to, and not only that the cop clearly told him to put his hands behind is back multiple times and the guy just kept walking away and being a fucking retard, he obviously had this coming to him anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking tool
Well here in Australia, the first thing that the Police officer does is state his or her reason for pulling you over (ie random breath test, speeding, vehicle defect, etc.)
Despite our cops not being liked a whole lot, at least they don't treat their job as a big ego massage and go beating their chests at any opportunity. We can put up with a lot of shit, but nothing like this. We have better checks in place so that if this ever happened, the officer would be marched out and possibly charged.
Why did he deserve it? He was asking why he got pulled over and what speed he was doing. Signing the ticket admits guilt yet he wasn't told what he was guilty of.
"you were driving too fast" is not a reason to get a ticket.
If I was pulled over, I'd want to know why immediately.
and then the taser...... simply ridiculous. This officer should not only be sacked, but charged with assault and sent to prison.
Tasers are effective but misused in many cases. There were initially intended to be deployed in a potentially life threatening situation where a firearm might be over kill. It was an alternative to having wrongful deaths involving officers using a firearm.
Now used because you did not comply with the officer's command. They seem to be deploying tasers quicker then they would a baton. Overkill!
.. always sign the ticket - it's not an admission of guilt as the previous poster indicated.
The traffic ticket contains an actual notice to you of a pending court date at which you must appear. By signing the ticket, you are providing an acknowledgment of receipt of the "notice to appear." Since the officer is charging you with a violation of law, he could take you into custody. By signing the traffic ticket, you avoid being taken into custody at that time, and are "released on your own recognizance" pending the court date. It is better to sign the traffic ticket or be an idiot.
I would've said "turn around and put your hands behind your back." And if I see him walking towards the patrol car, I'd say "Sir, hands on the car". And if he doesn't do it, I'd pull out the taser and say "Hands on the car!" And if he still doesn't do it or put his hands behind his back, I'd say "Hands on the car or behind your back or I'll tase you". And if he walks away or doesn't do what I ask, then I'd zap him. And if he continues asking why I'm arresting him, I'd say "we've been over this".

As much as I don't like police officers, which is as much as any of you, this guy was wrong. Jared refused to sign the ticket.
Officer Garnder: Sign the ticket.
Jared: No, I'm not signing shit.
So who was wrong? Well, I probably would've addressed this differently that the patrolman in the clip. I've would've said "Sir, I'm not gonna ask you again. If you do not sign the ticket, I'm going to place you under arrest". And if he still refuses, then I'd tell him "Step out of the vehicle".

He should have kept his hands out of his pockets and followed instructions. If he wanted to fight the ticket the side of the road is not the place to do it. Idiot is lucky he didn't get shot.

You're all morons. Yes he should have signed and no the cop shouldn't have tazed him. Can no-one think on a higher level than "Who blame? Me think man blame... no me think cop blame... both blame?!?....*head explodes"
Was the cops life in danger? Was the alternative to shoot him down? Was the guy getting violent? Was he being physically overpowered? no... no... no....no!....
The tazer is supposed to be to protect safety, not to leverage compliance.

@coolman9999uk the guy did turn his back on an arrest and lower his arms to his pockets when told to keep them up. Technically, the cop legally can call that an act of aggression, as well they should.

Intrestingly this tool sued Utah, and got a settlement of 40K - which his lawyer calculated to be less than the cost the city would expend defending themselves of the suit, even though they were innocent.
Our system was screwed up. There needs to be a clause on your license agreement - refusing to sign a ticket is automatic jail (that part is already there) AND waives the right to sue the municipality for the use of reasonable force and evices currently approved by law.
Situation nullifed.

@snappydoodad Apparently the cop used improper procedure when removing the barbs. he didn't use gloves and neglected some other precautions. That was part of the reason the state gave for settling. That and the fact that they saved money in court costs regardless of outcome. Obviously, Massey wouldn't have settled for a measly 40K if he thought he had more of a case, though.
mamacornettesmoney 5 months ago
It's on the written driving test, for god's sake. Signing a ticket is not an admission of guilt - it's your guarantee that you will appear in traffic court. Refusing to sign a traffic ticket requires your arrest, and transport to jail, to await trial.
What a total retard.

This is a lack of communication. the dude was an ass, yes, but it just seems like the cop felt like tasing someone. So he just didn't explain the situation to the guy, which confused him, and allowed the cop to tase him.

@kcam04 The taster was pulled before the civilian had his hand in his pocket. Watch closely. This was pre-meditated on the officers end. His tone completely changed when the other officer arrived on scene, and the description of incident was skewed when giving the other officer the play by play. I am all for compliance with LEO, but I am also for the phrase "Protect and Serve". The officer should have never turned his back to the driver, and should have sat the driver on his hood to talk.
vbluez 10 months ago
I don't think the driver having his hand in his pocket influenced the officer to taze him, because the officer already had his mind set. However, I would have found the taze much more justifiable for him being more of a threat to the officer's safety. No weapon was brandished, and the driver was in slow retreat. Premeditated tazing is just a case of "Don't Taze Me Bro". It could have been worked out with less force, or more verbal commands. My .02. I do see your point though @kcam04

OK, as someone who has had many run-ins with cops during my youth, I shall dispense a bit of wisdom. 1. If a cop tells you to put your hands on your head, YOU DO IT! No amount of talking nor action is going to make him say "Oh ok, then cancel that last order and lets talk". It's never happened, it's never going to happen. Let him/her cuff you and go from there. 2. When you get a ticket, your technically signing your own bail, until its time to go to court. If you don't sign, you go to jail.

The Utah man is NOT required to sign the document, nor is he required to step outside of his vehicle during detainment. Even though civilians are NOT to be moved around during detention, cops often try to do this (which elevates matters into an arrest).

Cop was a piece of shit and some cops feel because they have a badge they can abuse the power it brings. They think they are god and cops like this should loose their job and never be a law enforcement official again. These are scum bags that do not protect and serve they are cruel and unjust and get away with it cause their buddys stick up for them. A bunch of fags with badges.

This guy was and is a DOUCHE. I LIVE in utah and there are way too many idiots like this around. This guy broke the law, YOU Have to sign a traffic citation cause technically you did break the law, so if you don't you go to jail.. You can fight it all you want later but you have to acknowledge you have been cited. or the cop has to physically book you into jail cause your ignoring it, not to mention completely ignoring the cop after he's already been told he is under arrest. Dumb people FTW

The problem occured when the officer asked him to turn around, he didnt do it and began to walk back to his vehicle.

Just sign the goddamn ticket! There's a better chance of getting it thrown out in court than the officer saying "Oh, you're not going to sign it? Well then I guess I'll just have to rip it up and let you go, sorry for the inconvenience!" Not gonna happen

Not signing the ticket doesn't give him the right to cause the driver harm. The fact that the driver did not do what was asked of him by the officer after he was out of the vehicle gave the officer the right to taser him for failure to comply with a law enforcement official.

4. "driving too fast" otherwise known as "speeding" is the reason 90% of people get tickets. So don't try and tell me driving too fast is no reason to issue a citation.
5. Yes, he may have tasered him too closely to the roadway but its not like the officer could have said "Sir, I'm going to taser you so I'm going to need you to step away from the roadway." Let's use a little common sense here.
So how about you brush up on our laws before u go commenting on something like this?

1. If a driver refuses to sign a ticket it is the officer's duty to arrest that person, which is what he was doing by taking him out of the car
2. Signing a ticket is NOT an admission of guilt. By signing the ticket you are signing a contract that says you will appear in court for the issued citation.
3. When the suspect failed to comply with the officer and began to walk back to his vehicle the officer had every right to taser him for failure to cooperate.

This guy was tased due to non compliance, if he would have just listened to the cop that wouldnt have happened. When a cop tells you to do something YOU DO IT.

First off, this guy had this coming to him. When he was first pulled over he wouldnt give the cop his license and registration like he was asked to, and not only that the cop clearly told him to put his hands behind is back multiple times and the guy just kept walking away and being a fucking retard, he obviously had this coming to him anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking tool

The cop was looking for a fight.
Tasers have become a cattle prod of the 21st
century.

Well here in Australia, the first thing that the Police officer does is state his or her reason for pulling you over (ie random breath test, speeding, vehicle defect, etc.)
Despite our cops not being liked a whole lot, at least they don't treat their job as a big ego massage and go beating their chests at any opportunity. We can put up with a lot of shit, but nothing like this. We have better checks in place so that if this ever happened, the officer would be marched out and possibly charged.

Why did he deserve it? He was asking why he got pulled over and what speed he was doing. Signing the ticket admits guilt yet he wasn't told what he was guilty of.
"you were driving too fast" is not a reason to get a ticket.
If I was pulled over, I'd want to know why immediately.
and then the taser...... simply ridiculous. This officer should not only be sacked, but charged with assault and sent to prison.

That cop drew that weapon instantly and look as though he intended to use it at the first excuse.
This guy is that typical example of the ass hole police officer that has severe delusions of grandeur forming a power trip while catching speeders.
What a jerk off!

Tasers are effective but misused in many cases. There were initially intended to be deployed in a potentially life threatening situation where a firearm might be over kill. It was an alternative to having wrongful deaths involving officers using a firearm.
Now used because you did not comply with the officer's command. They seem to be deploying tasers quicker then they would a baton. Overkill!
.. always sign the ticket - it's not an admission of guilt as the previous poster indicated.

The traffic ticket contains an actual notice to you of a pending court date at which you must appear. By signing the ticket, you are providing an acknowledgment of receipt of the "notice to appear." Since the officer is charging you with a violation of law, he could take you into custody. By signing the traffic ticket, you avoid being taken into custody at that time, and are "released on your own recognizance" pending the court date. It is better to sign the traffic ticket or be an idiot.

The cop waited too long to start tazing that self-absorbed driver.
Cop: May I see your driver's license and registration?
Driver: Blah blah blah.
Cop: Can I see yo
