The good thing I can see is that the officers weren't allowed to watch their body cams prior to writing up their report because they made a couple of glaring errors, ie "95 him!" was in the report as telling him he was under arrest. Given what took place, I thought a "95" must be "take him to the ground "

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

​​@@robbrown5551Others' pocketbooks are not my problem. This is a weasel factor that those who support seat belt laws often cite. Concerns about higher premiums to others or whatever do NOT trump my body autonomy. There are a thousand other factors that increase premiums which nothing is ever done about. Legislatures tried to enact seat belt laws for decades. Previous generations of Americans felt, rightly, that it was not the government's job to protect us from ourselves. Unfortunately, by the 1980s, enough people believed it _was_ the government's job to protect us from ourselves to enable states to begin passing these laws. Now in California, children are required to use these "safety" seats - - which trap children in sinking or burning cars - - until seven (!!) years of age.

[@ladyofrillwater]

​@@jer280My issue is less "the customer is always right is bogus" (which it is) and more the fact that expectations for cops is outrageously low in terms of how they interact with people and respond to things. I was a medic in the Air Force. After I got out, I worked at a call center, in retail, as a receptionist, and now in a hospital setting. Nothing the cops are hearing is any different or worse than what you get from some lady who was late to her appointment and blames you for it, or from someone pissed off that the coupon their trying to use is expired. But while retail people and receptionists must remain calm, courteous, empathetic, and polite or else they can lose their jobs, cops can immediately use force and arrest people. I don't think its unreasonable to expect at LEAST the same amount of de-escalation and self-control from a cop that one expects from a cashier at Target.

Because it is illegal. But courts don't often actually enforce the few consequences for cops that they are supposed to, so is it really a law if it isn't enforced? Judges also have certain restrictions in what they are allowed to do, but if they ever violate those restrictions it never gets inforced either, because a council of judges has to enforce the consequences for those violations, and that almost never happens either. And it is much, much scarier when you have a corrupt judge who breaks the rules.

[@Xydonus]

Booking him for being frustrated with the process was wrong. He shouldn't have been arrested regardless of his attitude/demeanor, issue the citation, move on. This escalated simply because the cop lost his cool. However; he did not 'beat his ass' after they were forced to pin him to the ground when he resist. Regardless of the cop's actions being questionable, there's no point resisting once those cuffs get slapped on. You can't sue a cop every time they have to pin someone to the ground when they decide to resist. I'm sure the auditors will jump on that gofundme and encourage him to not wear his seatbelt in the future.
