Grandma Gets Tasered! from CNN.com

I love the way CNN puts grandma on their title, instead of 72 year old lady. As soon as you see Grandma, you think, "oh man thats cruel." I have to say when I saw the original video of just the grandma talking about what happened, I was hoping the cops would prove her wrong. She looked kind of bitchy to me. Here is the original video before the dash cam footage came out:


And here is the cops side with the dash cam footage:


Yeah she doesn't seem too compliant to me. She sounds non-compliant. He repeatedly tries to get her back on to the shoulder so she doesn't get hit by a car. In the first video she says something about protecting her rights, I don't know if that means lawsuit, but after you see the dashcam video I hope you see he was justified. You also see that everything that she said she didn't do in the first video, she actually did in the dashcam video. Bottom line, you don't try to get away from cops, you don't cuss at cops, signing the bottom of the ticket is not an admission of guilt. It just says you read it. Wasn't it hilarious how polite "yes sir" she was after she got tased. I think she might have been a little buzzed when she got pulled over if you know what I am saying.

Click it or Ticket, give me a break!

Now I will be the first to say that wearing that seat belt will save your life. I have seen at least 2 clips lately of people getting thrown out of cars when they roll. A friend of mine in highschool died in a roll over. But this whole "Click it or Ticket" campaign is a wolf in sheep's clothing. In a lot of states they cannot pull you over just for the seatbelt thing unless you did something else too. Like not signaling to turn or speeding. Here in the Big T, they can pull you over for just the seatbelt. Tell me how this isn't a revenue maker? I think of how much money the spend on the stupid commercials for this stuff, that could go towards our state deficit. On top of all this I believe it is your RIGHT to not wear a seat belt. If you want to endanger yourself its your right isn't it? I mean smoking is still legal here, everyone knows that slowly kills you? The rescinded the motorcycle helmet law here, so how can you have a seatbelt law but no helmet law? That logic doesn't really flow too well. I don't know why they backed down on the helmet law, but I bet the reason has something to do with money. Money makes the world go round right?
Here is a pretty extreme example of what happens when you don't wear your seatbelt:
