The law, of course, is designed to force citizens to cower to LEO no matter what and I think this was an over reaction on the cop's part. If she became actually 'obstructive' then it would be different but the law officer holds all the cards no matter the circumstance. If a cop were cuffing my wife you better believe I would NOT remain in my vehicle . . . . maybe I would also be cuffed but there would be a problem if the cop behaved in this manner.

He asked her to stay in the car. If she never said a word and never argued, she was physically coming into the area where an officer was attempting to arrest a suspect, and the issue is not the words she was saying, but her physical presence within a safety zone of the officer after he had instructed her not to enter that zone.......she was properly charged and was properly arrested. If she stayed in the car and rolled the window down and gave her movie credits, and told the police officer that she believed he was being unreasonable......she never would have been charged....even though she was arguing with an officer.

Your freedom of movement ends when an officer is making an arrest and instructs you not to get closer, or to stay in your car. You simply are a continuing train wreck talking about things you have no experience or understanding. However, I am certain you will argue or call me names. After I pass I will have my wife post my information, but in the meantime, I will try to be polite when you spew conclusions. I am glad the officers did not know what they were doing, and it is amusing how quickly the offender apologized......she probably did not have a chance to speak with you on how the officers were wrong, and have you instruct you that she would walk. It has been amusing the last few weeks learning new things from an alternative universe.........it has been comedic at best or very sad.

It is black and white. An officer gave instructions to remain in the car, and she ignored the instruction and left the vehicle. He could have asked her to get back in the car, and if she got back in the car, most officers would let this slide. However, she got out of the car and did not get back in.......she is blonde too.......I think like you she did a movie called legally blonde......I understand the empathy. Go sister. getting all do you know who I am in people's face........heheheheheheheh........I love this place.
