(1,591 posts)you don't even have to be arrested to be detained and brought to a holding cell, what exactly is "arresting in the general sense" ?
you get mouthy with an officer, expect him to be an ass, you pull your arm away when he is giving you a directive, expect to be treated roughly, kick the officer, ......game over.
"Let me finish then you can speak" ..... yeah just plan on the cop turning into an ass.
The officer's tone is not racist or hateful as many want to believe. He's a cop, doing his job,....... not debating on an internet forum. She'll get to enjoy this little headache for weeks, and it will end up costing her a few bucks.
"I see other people do it all the time" ............. yeah, that usually backs a cop down, well played professor.
