A sad series of events. Getting stopped for not signalling a lane change? In some places if you signal your intent another arsehole in a car will shut the door on you.
I think the cop blew it at the cigarette, but then as an ex-smoker since 1986, I don't want to smell that crap either.
This pull you over to 'check you out' crap is bull. Cops should only pull you over to issue a citation, otherwise it is just a fishing expedition.
That black lady may have been stopped more often than the norm and may have a chip on her shoulder be it justified or not, I don't know what part of Illinois she hailed from or her personal history.
I'm more interested in what happened at the jail.
I hope the cop learns from this and isn't crucified.
