We're not doing this. >> All right. You're good to You're good to go. >> Do you need Do you require medical assistance? >> I take that as a no. Honey, >> this suspect, Cindy, was charged with felony battery on a law enforcement officer, felony resisting with violence, and assault on a law enforcement officer. [music] She pleaded no contest to the battery on law enforcement charge and not guilty to the resisting with violence charge.

Always remember, self-preservation makes people do some really strange things, and sometimes it starts only seconds into the stop. Did you see how fast somebody can go from, "I don't know what you're talking about," to fighting officers over something that could have been handled with a conversation.

Human emotion versus lawful authority almost never ends well when pride takes
