Meanwhile in “Free” America: Cop Drags Woman, 77, From Car After ID Refusal
From the Trenches World Report
Deadline Live A local Texas police department is standing by an officer who dragged a 77-year-old grandmother out of her car for speeding after she repeatedly refused to provide her driver’s license. The entire arrest was caught on video by the Keene Police Department. The woman, Lynn Bedford, of nearby Cleburne, was stopped on Aug. 19 for driving 66 mph in a 50-mph zone. Bedford told Sgt. Gene Geheb that she had a bladder infection and had to go to the bathroom, but the situation quickly escalated when the officer asked several times for heridentification and she refused. “Just hurry up; I have to go to the bathroom,” she said. “Let me see your driver’s license and insurance, please,” the officer asked. She declined several times. “No, I want to see your driver’s license and insurance, please, and then I’ll listen to you,” the officer said. “I’ll give it to you in a minute,” she replied. “No, you give it to me now, or I’m going to take you to jail,” he said. “Well, go ahead,” she said. The officer then pulled her out of her car and handcuffed her. Bedford’s attorney, Clay Graham, of Fort Worth, said the officer overreacted. “The officer is not very interested in listening to what she has to say,” Graham said. “She gets a little frustrated. And then he just overwhelms her. That’s what I see. And then it goes from routine stop to ridiculous stop.” Graham said Bedford was injured during the arrest. He said Bedford is not interested in filing a lawsuit right now but isn’t ruling it out in the future. The lawyer said the woman was returning home from playing the piano at church when the incident occurred. In a statement, Keene Police Chief Rocky Alberti stood by the officer’s actions. “This incident has been reviewed thoroughly by the Keene Police Department and the City of Keene Administration,” Alberti said in a written statement. “All parties have concluded that Sgt. Geheb did not violate any state laws or department policies, and in fact was following department policy in regards to violators not providing identification.” Delivered by The Daily Sheeple Contributed by From the Trenches World Report of www.FromTheTrenchesWorldReport.com.

Maybe then they need to change the police policy to something that uses common sense and a little respect for citizens. Routine Contempt of cop is not something that should allow police officers to use brute force during a routine traffic stop. Why isn’t it police policy to just write a ticket for failure to carry or produce identification and insurance papers instead of esculating the situation putting both the citizen and the police officer at risk of physical injury? Whatever happened to protect and serve?
Who should he write the citation to?, if you do not present ID, and insurance when requested then why request them. Was the officer at fault for stopping her doing 66 in a 50 zone?, or was she being hard headed and uncooperative?. I’ve done traffic stops and you never kn.ow what’s waiting in the vehicle ahead. If you ared pulled over legitametly why be an ass, you got caught, and deal with it, when ID is requested in this situation you have already consented by driving on the public roads, implied consent is in all 50 states, no ID, no insurance proof, and how do we proceed from this point?
No, I do not blindly support “Jack booted thug tactics” but it looks like this women didn’t leave the officer any choices, and made the wrong choice. Lacking the dash cam view, and the open mike that a lot of disticts have installed just to prevent He said VS She said disputes I would err on the side of the officer. She hasn’t denied any of this just stomped her keyboard and said “I don’t like this”, which really doesn’t
matter in the gran
If this were my grandmother that this happened to, the absolute last thing that the officer involved would have to worry about would be censure or discipline from his department. Flame me, hate me for a comment you find repulsive, I don’t care. This idiot would need to grow eyes in the back of his head quickly. Hope his medical covers massive blunt force trauma injuries. It takes a real man to brutalize a 77 year old woman.
Maybe they both should have followed a different path. She should have handed over the ID and insurance papers THEN explained she needed to use toilet urgently. He could have dropped the usual default cop stance of OBEY or ELSE. Whatever happened to de-escalation tatcics? Must have been dropped when the armored vehicles and M4s began rolling into police department inventories. Common sense is uncommon these days.
Except most will run your license plate and all the info they need is on their data base. Why should the USA citizen hand over their data? Do you think she was being discriminated against due to age?
Data base only shows registered owner, not who’s driving. That is how a lot of spy cam tickets get defeated, only can sxee car not who’s driving, so who do you fine? Officer was probabily in the right, if I ask for license and proof of insurance all I needed was the documents that the law and you agreed to as a condition of driving on public roads. This is less of a “Papers citizen!” issue than a case of not complying with a reasonable and legal request. She got caught speeding, deal with it, her bladder infection doesn’t authorize speeding or not providing a valid drivers licensce when she came into contact with the officer.
Fuck you, Milo
That is one scathing response, Uh thank you, I guess??
Bend over and spread your cheeks for the police state. Or grow a pair and do something, anything to stop the snowballing down of our once great society.
The woman may have been hearing impaired and did not understand the officer. So I guess she should be grateful she was not tsared? Big deal, a few miles over the speed limit.
You guys should study Gordon Hall on contracts and get his perspective on how to handle police. Put a lien on one of these guys, or better yet, the whole police department when they start acting in dishonor. They’re all just agents of a corporate commercial entity that can be commercially liened just like anyone else. Hit them in their pocketbooks where it hurts. It might make some of the psychotic cops mad enough to act even more irrationally though if you make them lose their jobs because they get liened for tens of thousands of dollars.
