In this video, a woman was stopped by an LPD officer who claims she was driving 40 in a 25 zone. She disputed the allegation and asked for proof before fully complying. What began as a routine traffic stop quickly escalated into threats of arrest, obstruction charges, and taser warnings as the officer repeatedly ordered her out of the vehicle, raising Fourth Amendment questions about escalation, compliance, and use of force.

I was not speeding, you idiot. >> Sit down. Your car's also getting impounded. The warning symbol I worked on the taser. She got out. And then I said, "Hey, walk over this way." She's like, "Why?" And she she's like, "I'm not you know I just argue with me, right?" So I went to go keep telling her she wouldn't listen. And so um went to go hands-on. She pushed back, tensed up. So still tried to Who was the guy? I scared him. I tried to tried to armbar. It wouldn't work. She was tensing up cuz she's a lady. Still trying to go as easy as I can and um she wouldn't, so I leg hooked her, slammed her on the ground. I saw that part. Yeah. So >> What were you saying at at first on the radio? Seat belt or Yeah, she I went to go I was like, "So you'll see so I went to go like tell her like, "Hey, you need to I told her the reason for the stop." She was arguing, "I wasn't doing 40 in a 25. I wasn't doing that." So I guess you were. So I and then she she's like, "I want to see it." So I was like, "No. Do you have your license?" We went back and forth for a little bit. And then [clears throat] she kept trying to argue about it. And so I was like, "All right, get out." Right? And so she wouldn't, so I opened her door. Went to go get the seat belt, but she blocked me from getting it. And so so Yeah, so that was so I was pulling the taser out. I hit the warning. She's like, "All right, don't you don't have to tase me, dude. You don't tase me, dude." But then in reality in reality, I could have tased her with that one, but it just wasn't >> warning work? Look at that. Yeah. Well, until we started having to wrestle on the ground. Yeah. Oh, yeah, there was that. No, I didn't tase her. Okay. So We're good. You already got a 10-11? Uh no. 17 10-11. Good job. Thanks. That uh Good evening. Dan, you're good. You can go to the next one. Okay. Uh I don't know where her I played all Yeah, I got sports Thanks, bud. Her glasses got bent up. 1327. I got to look quick. Yeah, I don't see I think it's just speed. Made it way bigger than it needed to be. Careful. You got to be the subject I'm 15 with. So Okay. So 13 car. Um You got speeding, obstruction, resisting? Yeah. So um question Yeah. And this is as I understand the policy, I would have been greenlit to taser, but want to understand in this specific scenario. So she finally gets out after the warning. I holster the taser. We're talking. She's arguing. I tell her to walk back this way. She refuses to do it. I go to grab her. She pulls away. And she start and like I go to grab her again to armbar. She's strong arming it and won't, you know, won't comply at all. Yeah. With this one, I think I made the right choice. >> Yeah, that's active resistance, which in this situation you could, but like Garcia said, we shouldn't. I mean, you you know, we shouldn't rely on the taser. You can fight her. Yeah. >> You know. Yeah. I just want to make sure >> But yes, that's active resistance. >> Okay. That would fit the policy if somebody was there. Okay. But yeah, that's that's cool. The warning that actually got her out. That's that's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah." You'll see it on the body cam. Cool. Yep. Cool. I'm going to go ahead and transport her to Benton County. Okay. All right, we're good. I'll do your your inventory. I'll email you and then uh uh It's all in. Keys are in. It's a push start. Yeah. Careful. If you let us sign me in CR for obstruction of governmental operations. Careful. Yep. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to get my brakes checked, man. Your brakes fading again? Dude, I I uh I mean, I granted I got on it like really hard at Apple Blossom 71 cuz there was a semi that just He's like, "No, I'm good." Yeah. And uh then I make it to Dixieland. What So that So this is the weird thing. It's like I don't know, maybe there's too much pressure in the lines because I got up to uh Dixieland and Apple Blossom and I go probably from 70 75 to lock it up to for the corner. And I hit it and I'm just not slowing down, so I get on it and I can hear ABS kicking in that it's locking up. >> Mhm. But I'm just not stopping. Yeah. Yeah, that's weird. See what? You have a car key? Uh I've got it, yeah. Okay, cool. Real quick, there's no arguing it. You do You are going to Benton County, so don't start with that, but do you need a medical assistance for anything? No. Okay. Did you pick up my glasses? Yes, I got your glasses, your phone. Your car key is going to go with the tow truck, but we got the keys off the car key itself. Does it need to be towed since I'm not driving? Yes, it's going to be towed. What's up? Oh, all right. All right, I'll take care of your uh your record and I'll be All right, thank you. Thank you. >> [snorts] >> This encounter centered on the constitutional limits of force during a routine traffic stop. While officers generally may request identification and order drivers out of a vehicle, the Fourth Amendment still requires that force remain objectively reasonable. The incident also showed how obstruction and resistance allegations can quickly escalate a minor stop into an arrest with body camera footage and officer statements becoming key evidence afterward.
