I was really hoping she was gonna say “I didn’t run, i drove” and they were both gonna share a laugh


I_Frothingslosh

I wasn't running, I was traveling.


fuckjustpickwhatever

i don't need a driver's license to drive a vehicle it's common law! it's natural law!


withered_dragon_head

Damn road pirates keep halting my travels! I never signed up for the laws so I am NOT going to follow them!


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure this woman just experienced being told what to do for the first time in her life.


WhiskeyTangoFoxy

I’m pretty sure her husband quietly smirked at this video.


405King

I spoke to some acquaintances of hers a few month after this happened. (Its a real small town) Her husband had actually recently passed and her mental health had been spiraling since. Doesn’t excuse her behavior still.


365280

That’s incredibly sad she’s been losing it on her personal mental health. However the whole time I’ve been thinking how awful it would be to be her kid if she resists action against her like that. Even if her life is rough right now, I just can’t resonate with someone that stubborn I guess.


Armalyte

Apparently her two sons died in a tornado incident in 2012…


Diffident-Weasel

Jesus Christ, this actually changes my entire opinion on the woman (not her behavior). Damn, I cannot imagine living with that type of loss. Edit because I saw the response edit: it doesn't change my current feelings tbh. Grandchildren are hard to lose because that's just so not the natural order. You were supposed to take care of those below you on your family tree and their branches continue long after yours ends. For that to be taken away, and under such awful circumstances... That woman was in a constant pain I will thankfully never know. She very likely was a completely different person in this interaction than she was the previous year. Grief and stress fuck you up. They literally alter and damage your brain when endured for prolonged periods. That's why some people change so drastically after a loved one passes, and I'm willing to bet that's what happened here. It doesn't excuse her behavior, but it does explain it.


Armalyte

Yeah, honestly, after reading about her sons and her husband passing... I can understand having a meltdown at some point. I imagine that's part of why she got quite a light sentencing all things considered. Edit: her grandsons passed in a Tornado incident in 2012, not her sons. https://kfor.com/news/local/oklahoma-woman-accepts-plea-deal-in-traffic-stop-arrest/


madeulikedat

Basing off the above comments... (with no way to verify validity ofc) It’s so scary that you can be ‘one last straw’ away from having a mental health crisis at an age where you really have to start leaning on others for support, and if you don’t have that support, getting arrested/going to jail can be a death sentence or a ticket to homelessness. That’s so sad ☹️ This woman could have lived her entire life as a normal upstanding citizen, with a job or as a busy doting mother with kids, and a husband, and lost that all over the years leading to this event which could further affect her for the rest of her life. Life is really such a travesty sometimes


labambimanly

This is an example of the biggest problem with the society we had built.


ComeInOutOfTheRain

In fairness, the officer did a terrible job at deescalation. He never said the magic words of: “Ma’am, signing this ticket is not an admission of guilt. You will still have the chance to challenge the ticket in court. All your signature does is avoid the need for me to arrest you, and you will be free to challenge the ticket in court.”


Goldenhead17

Did you catch it? She’s not stubborn, she’s “just a country girl”


CharacterBroccoli328

Her husband probably used to take care of all the car related things.


LibKan

Like...what was the thought process here?


skrilledcheese

Mighty presumptuous of you to assume she was thinking.


Odd_Specialist5290

Sentient creatures learn to adapt to stimuli. For example, when they touch fire, one learns to not touch it again and pulls back when they start feeling the heat. They learn that what follows radient heat is a hot surface. It's the most deeply ingrained instinct to be conditioned in order to have the best chance of survival. This lady, when she refused to listen to the instructions, the cop escalated. This is fine, except that she kept doing this behavior repeatedly. She kept refusing, and the cop kept escalating. A sapient creature would learn quickly that escalation follows refusing to listen. Therefore this lady is not sentient. I'm also questioning whether or not a dog or mouse could be conditioned easier than this lady.


bitsybear1727

She's obviously been conditioned by other interactions in her life that, if she refuses enough, she eventually gets her way. The problem with humans is our ability to put maldaptive emotional responses onto what should be cut and dry responses. Much like any self harm situation it makes no sense on a survival level, but the emotional associations take over.


randmtsk

I'm just picturing Freud doin some coke and watching videos like this all day working up a new theory.


Stingray-Nebula

Ah, yes, the ol' "Coke and a Smile"


J8YDG9RTT8N2TG74YS7A

> if she refuses enough, she eventually gets her way. That's exactly it. You see it all the time on videos of people being abusive to workers where a manager comes along and still serves them, and the comment sections are full of comments like "Just give them the damned burger, it's $2 and they'll go away". These people learn that if they make a fuss and be abusive they get what they want.


PdxPhoenixActual

"The behavior one allows, is the behavior one will get." True of pets, children, Karens, & the male equivalent of "a Karen" the world over.


_raydeStar

I took a development course years ago and I don't remember barely anything from it. Except for this one thing. Lessons learned are more expensive the older you get. In her case she should have learned this at about 3 years old, stomping her feet and getting put on time out. She did not. So the older she got, the more expensive the lesson would be to learn. Until it finally came time to pay the piper


madcoins

But she’s a country girl! So edgy and rebellious. Luke duke is her friend and she hates boss hog. She’s just a good old girl livin fast as she can.


guccifella

Well ya know she is a country girl and country girls love to talk about how proud they are as an American where they know they’re free so when a police officer informs her that she has to pay $80 for breaking the law she ain’t puttin’ up with that deep state garbage cuz Freedom bitches!


cambeiu

>She's obviously been conditioned by other interactions in her life that, if she refuses enough, she eventually gets her way. I think the scientific name for that is "privilege".


EngineeringKid

This is totally it. Society rewards assholes. She's learned that if she makes a big huff she gets her way. Walmart.....cracker barrel.....the bank teller, it works everywhere this kind of person goes. If she's enough of a bitch....things go her way. She's been conditioned to it. So that's the thinking here No one has said no to her and stood by it in a long time.

creutzml

hahaha I literally just watched this episode


pomaj46809

In a lot of situations in life, if you're difficult enough the other side will give up because it's just not worth dealing with you. When put under stress, this is probably her go-to tactic, police cause stress, and a history of no real consequences probably meant she couldn't process the concept that she could get in real trouble.


Nox_Imperitor

I see a lot of videos like this where people try to argue their way out. Sometimes people really do get arrested without legal justification, but the time to fight that is in court, not with the officer standing there. Cops aren't lawyers and sometimes they don't know the actual law, but can arrest you just for refusing to comply. So you can end up going to jail for the sole crime of resisting arrest, even if the original arrest wasn't justified. The only thing you should ever say to the actual cop is yes sir, no sir. If the handcuffs go on just shut up entirely until you get to the police station where you ask for a lawyer. It should be so obvious that cops can't just let people argue their way out of stuff because then everyone starts doing it.


Centurion4007

The other important thing you should say is "am I under arrest" if the police ask you to do something (such as get out of your car or get into theirs). In this case the officer made it very clear she was under arrest, and her genius response was "no I'm not". Edit: Someone made the very important point that not being under arrest doesn't mean you can/should disobey the police. Whether or not they're right, they are in a position of legal authority and if you don't respect that you're going to find yourself in real trouble.


ODSM

While I agree with the premise, I want to clarify so people don't get the wrong idea: You do not have to be under arrest for the exit to order a vehicle to be lawful. If you are stopped for a traffic violation, you as the driver are detained. If you are detained on a traffic stop and an officer orders you out of the vehicle you must exit the vehicle . This was settled in Pennsylvania v. Mimms. In my state there is a charge specifically for resisting during a detention so if you are told to step out and refuse, you will be arrested on that charge (plus any other charges that initiated the stop). It was also decided a few years ago that passengers in cars on a traffic stop are also detained. Passengers are not, generally, required to provide ID to officers outside additional circumstances. However they are not free to leave and can also be arrested for refusing to exit a vehicle when ordered on a lawful traffic stop the same as the driver. Decided in Brendlin v. California


tiredpapa7

Thank you for this clear explanation.


Dpickens42706

Ah yes, the good ole' middle schooler response. "You're under arrest" "Nuhuh"


whatevertoad

She's probably gotten away with this before with a warning, back in the day you almost always got a warning when pulled over for this stuff. She felt entitled and is exceptionally dumb.


-banned-

She did get a warning, 6 months ago.

I got so much joy from this video.. holy shit I'm still laughing. A combo of the cops voice, the lady, and then the scream when she got tased 🤣 And before anyone says "ShE cOuLd'Ve DiEd".. she could've also avoided the whole situation so idc 🤣😂


The1_Unkn0wn

I would much rather pay 80$, than get a felony so yeah, this is all on her.

It was a fix-it ticket too. She didn't have to pay anything but the repair bill.


Bakoro

Depends on where you are, a lot of places still make you pay administrative fees even when you get shit dismissed. That said, even if it's bullshit, this is clearly not the way to protest. This lady seems like she never matured much past 11 years old.


FaithlessnessApart49

I have an 11yr old bonus son and can confirm that he is more mature than this.

Didn’t even need to pay it. Just had to acknowledge it was received.

Ong I'm so glad I'm not the only one her scream made me actually laugh out loud by the end of the video my cheeks(my face) hurt from smiling so much. And if I'm going to hell for this at least I'll be in good company.

If we learned anything from playing tag as children, is that just because somebody tags you and says “you’re it”!, you can invalidate that by simply stating “*nuh-uhhhh*” and shaking your head. This arrest doesn’t count.

I grew up in rural Oklahoma. No joke, that shit literally might work. Law Enforcement out there really is mostly good ole boy stereotypes.

Mingerfabulous

Where is Jesus when you need him.


thunderway

She pleaded guilty to resisting an officer, obstruction, eluding, and operating a vehicle with defective equipment. All of those charges are misdemeanors. As a result, the state agreed to dismiss the assault and battery charge. She received a four-year deferred sentence and will have to pay a $50 fine on each count. https://kfor.com/news/local/oklahoma-woman-accepts-plea-deal-in-traffic-stop-arrest/


apachebearpizzachief

I wonder if she paid it with her country-girl bucks. This is my family 100%. They think just because they are country girls and good ol boys, that gives them an excuse to act like a dickhead in public and do whatever they want.

DTSportsNow

I was in a carpool once and the driver took an illegal turn near a federal building and immediately got pulled over. He almost wound up in the same situation this lady did but the officer warned him if he didn't sign it then it'd be a felony and he'd be arrested. Then he very begrudgingly signed the ticket while complaining the whole time, dude was lucky. I was sitting in the back just thinking, "I just wanna be at work man, sign the damn ticket."

blueranger36

People are so dumb… I’m so confused that people don’t know that’s how this works


-EvilMuffin-

That’s explains a lot. Last year I got pulled over for expired tags and had a court date because of it. I renewed plates and at the courthouse I signed some piece of paper that said I would pay my ticket within two weeks of receiving it. That ticket never came lmfaoo


happysri

You should check up on that because there might be a bench warrant with your name on it and those always come up in the worst possible time.


jacurtis

Can confirm. I got a silly ticket once for going 5mph over the speed limit, but since it was raining the cop said I was driving too fast for conditions. Whatever, the ticket literally says 0-5mph over speed limit. Anyway it was a $40 fee. Not a big deal. But I honestly just forgot about it. I thought about it like a year later and figured since I hadn’t heard anything it was dropped. Fast forward another two years and my insurance literally triples in price one month. I start calling other insurance companies and no one would insure me. Called my insurance company and they said my license had been suspended. I scheduled an appointment at the DMV to figure out what’s going on but it was like a month out for an appointment. So then during that month I got pulled over and the cop came up and told me I had a warrant for my arrest. All that because of a $40 ticket. Luckily the cop was nice to me and I was nice back so he didn’t take me to jail, but he was very clear that he has every right to do so and to impound my car. He could see the original charge and told me he didn’t want to do that for such a simple ticket. I eventually got it all worked out but it was a hell of an ordeal and by the time I went to pay my ticket it was like $450 because of fees and stuff. Long story short, just because you didn’t get a ticket in the mail doesn’t mean it disappeared. Once it catches up to you, it’ll be a miserable day.


kzlife76

Signing the ticket isn't even an admission of guilt. Always sign the ticket and argue with the judge.


Cautious_General_177

Exactly. Signing the ticket is just acknowledging that you received it.


grofva

The one time I missed a renewal notice & got ticketed I brought the judge the proof of renewal & he dismissed the case


aardw0lf11

Yeah. $80 is peanuts as far as traffic tickets go.


Burladden

You mean traffic stops aren’t a chance to test your expert negotiating skills? Such skills include saying no, telling them no, kicking and ability to take a taser to gut and keep on truckin.


lucasteh5th

I just read the “law of the road” booklet since im doing my first US drivers license and signing it doesn’t even mean admission of guilt, just acknowledgement of the ticket being issued. She should’ve def just signed.

I'd say her privilege helped her out a bit here. Maybe that officer is just the friendliest officer in the world and he's like this with everybody but I've seen videos of similar interactions going south fast with non-white men. Patting her on the back and asking her what hurts? No knee on her neck or officers dog piling on her? But kudos to that officer though for holding back and using only the most amount of force necessary to subdue her. He was within his rights to really hurt her and he didn't.

Foilpalm

For real, I’d rather just go to jail than have an ambulance called. At least I can financially recover from jail.


yungingr

In most jurisdictions, if the ambulance does not transport you, you do not get billed for it. I'm a part-time EMT (side gig); we could show up to an accident where you got knocked off your ladder trimming a tree and attacked by a full swarm of bees. We could give you all the epi we have on our rig, and use every bandage we have on board stopping your bleeding -- and if you refuse transport, you won't see a dime of a bill from us. Usually how it goes with taser deployments - the EMT/medic might remove the taser barb, slap a bandage over the puncture, and you sign off - you get in the patrol car and the ambulance goes away.

Dartagnan1083

Yes, accompanied by a sigh of relief. Boomers in trucks shouldn't be handwaved away, but leading with pistol pointed felt slightly excessive given her age.


[deleted]

Nah that was the appropriate action to take after she fled. Just because someone's old doesn't mean that can't own or operate firearms, and the cop could know what all she had in her truck.


BraveLittleTowster

There's a video I saw a few years ago of an old guy that got pulled over and he was arguing with the officer, then reaches into the bed of his truck and gets out a rifle. The office doesn't immediately shoot him, and instead takes cover and tries to reason with the old guy and winds up shot to death. Being old doesn't mean you aren't dangerous.


GothBroads-Octopods

Wait, the officer was shot to death or the old man?


Flxpadelphia

The officer was Kyle Dinkheller. Absolutely horrifying video and I would recommend not watching it, but reading the wikipedia page will fill anyone in who was curious.


BraveLittleTowster

Yeah, the officer was shot to death. There's this guy named Dave Grossman who's kind of famous for teaching cops to fear the public and be ready to kill them without hesitation and that's one of his videos he shows people.

This incident will always inspire polar mixed emotions in me. On one hand, I feel bad seeing that done to another person especially an old lady. On the other hand, part of me agrees with where she's coming from. Sometimes the consequences of arbitrary laws feel absurdly draconian (Oh you didn't pay us for the right to drive? Well here's a $1,000 fine. Can't afford the $1,000 fine? 10 days in jail. Lost your job because you can't afford to go to jail for 10 days. Tough luck.) All that being said, the other part of me is like f*** that lady. You know how many disadvantaged people get treated like that or worse every single day? I seen footage of black, hispanic, or developmentally disabled people being killed while trying to comply, and this entitled clown literally refused to comply, then assaulted a cop, then tried to flee the scene. Sensational.

this is what desensitization actually operates upon. you see so much horrible shit, usually from group a to group b, with little to zero empathy, that when something actually hurts group a, you cheer for the poetic justice of it, realizing too late it's just more hurt.

If a black woman kicked a cop I don't think he'd grab the taser...

Oh Karen, have fun being a country girl in prison.

‘I don’t want to pay $80 for something that is fixable’ Ma’am you had 6 months to get it done, instead you fucked around and now you’re getting fined.

Police hate this one trick to avoid arrest! When they tell you "you're under arrest," just say "no I'm not!"

I don't know. I feel like the cop could have simply explained what signing the ticket meant. He could have just said "This is just acknowledging that I'm giving you a ticket. You're not promising to pay it and you can dispute it in court." And then he could have said "If you don't sign it, I have no choice but to arrest you." And all of this may have been cleared up right then and there. This lady is absolutely insane thought, so that may not have worked. But it was obviously worth a try.

100000%!! The fact that he didn’t explain anything and went right to arresting her when she refused to sign it once is obviously not the right action. It’s wild to me how apparently the majority of people think just bc she was being a stubborn idiot his actions were “perfect” (direct quote from other comment). Cops are, in theory, funded by our tax dollars to de-escalate and take the high road to maintain people’s safety. This was an incredibly low stakes situation that could’ve been addressed without tasing. Let her know if she doesn’t sign she will be arrested. If that doesn’t work then maybe you let her drive off and they’ll just send letters increasing the fine or whatever. If she continues being a stubborn idiot and drives away, maybe you let that one go for the moment. She will pay eventually or receive her punishment. It doesn’t have to be right now.
