Utah Cop Tasers Man For Refusing To Sign Speeding Ticket

By signing the ticket you are not admitting guilt just that you will appear in court. If you refuse to sign then you are subject to arrest. State statue. He then gave an instruction to put his hands behind his back. At 2:30 you can see his hand is at his right pocket and does not move from his pocket. The cop does not if he has a weapon in his pocket or not. The cop then gave another order and he began walking back to his car. Hence the taser. GREAT JOB OFFICER!!

They should be suing that cop … clearly on a power trip.

YOu’speed, you get a ticket, you sign ticket, you fight it in court, You don’t do this, you get arrested. Cop said 3 times, turn around put your hands behind your back. This is highway 40 between roosevelt and vernal not many highway patrol officers and no back up, you can see in the end a Vernal city cop came to back up highway patrol.

he wouldn’t tell him what he was getting arrested for because he was arresting him for not signing the ticket. what an ass…

why is that bitch barking from the car? didnt she pick up a rock??

a pig wont change

FUCK UTAH IN GENERAL.

fuck that pig!!!

Well, I’m currently being maliciously prosecuted based on two false charges that even the “victim” has tried to explain is bullshit. So, I know you guys do it.

I don’t have an ego, and it doesn’t get bruised. I have only seen one case of an actual “phony charge” and it was straightened out in court.

What’s the protocol for falsifying police reports and making up phony charges? Is that just when your egos get bruised, or do you guys just do it for entertainment?

You sound like an sadistic, intolerant, abusive, tyrannical dickhead. Ever considered going to police academy? You’re just what they’re looking for.

THIS little self righteous mormon dick got what he deserved , most mormons think they are above everyone , if i was the cop i would have also tasered his wife for being a mormon lover and squealing like a pig …

cop needs that shoved up his ass

Here in Tennessee (United States) we do not have to tell them what they are being arrested for. Its just a good rule of thumb to so they understand whats going on. Now if its an arrest where safety is an issue then screw telling them what they are being arrested for. After they are restrained and searched then I will explain things to them.

we dont read them there rights until we get back to the station, keep in mind im not saying your wrong…maybe your country, state, or what ever does things a little bit diff….also MARCACOW….i dont know if your state does things diff….i would assume most states do the same thing……it is not illegal to refuse to sign a citation…all you have to do is put in where they were supposed to sign is “refused to sign”…..and they get the ticket anyway….

well classic thrash…first off congrats on going through the academy…im a military cop, in texas. ummm first though….he was no victim…he was the subject…second, i dont, and most of the other officers i know dont tell subjects why there getting apprehended before we place them in hand irons…for the simple reason that there more then likely going to resist if they dont understand why, or dont believe they committed that offence…on the military instalation that im on…

He definately should have been tased because of his resisting arrest. Frankly I would have done the exact same thing.

wtf?

Thanks a lot, Im very excited about it as well. Im Canadian, and I would assume that law would apply in all developed countries. One of the first things I learned was that if you don’t tell the individual what theyre being arrested for, and you arest them, you will get nailed in court, no matter what the crime is. And believe it or not, it is extremely difficult to get fired as an officer. Police unions have so much power, its rare that an officer will loose his job. Hope that helped!

Congratulations on your acceptance into law enforcement. I wish you well. Just a couple of questions: In your state, does the law specifically require the police to tell an offender what he’s being arrested for, regardless of how hectic or dangerous a situation is? Also, with respect to your belief that the officer will be punished when this case goes to court, are you aware that the officer is still employed by the Utah Highway Patrol? Again, congratulations and be safe.

suckitup: Yeah, I sure hope that never happens to you either. That would suck if you went to some cop’s house and he had to shoot you full of holes and then be up all night talking to a shooting review board.

I love this video, the cop should have tased the woman to.

Can you say “Obstruction” the officer is totally justified.

Actually im in a police Academy, the police officer broke the law first by not telling the victim what he was being arrested for. The man will not be arrested, the police officer will be punished so hard when this comes to court. The lawyers are going to nail him.
