He hand his hand by his pocket and was walking away. Thats a big no no. I think that alone will get this cop off the hook if he hasn't been already.

Well ...

It seems excessive, but the guy simply did not listen. Should the cop have let just get back in his and drive off?
Getting a ticket is a citation not a negotiation. An office is not at liberty to negotiate. At least in Virginia when you don't sign the citation, you will be arrested.

He should have tasered him again for acting like a choad.

The UN says tasers are a form of torture.
So aren't bullets to the side of your cranium.
The UN also thinks that Americans arent taxed enough.

The UN is worthless.
The guy should have just taken the ticket and not try to argue.

This is sick - could have been handled much better. I already hate tasering, but this was like that comical scene from Meet the Fockers, where the cop just overreacts completely. He's having a bad day, a guy's not cooperating. He could have at the very least given a warning. I don't think the guy thought the cop was serious.
Besides, if a guy doesn't sign, can't you still bill him? I mean, in the EU, they usually just hand you the ticket, and if you don't pay, you end up paying more...?
Blatant use of excessive force...

Why do you need to sign your ticket anyway? As in... yes officer I completely agree with you giving me a ticket for a completely bullshit reason. Does the American police really need consent from the person they are giving the ticket before they can give them the ticket?

Officer: Excuse me, sir. I would like to give you a ticket for speeding.
Driver: Oh that's fine, you have my consent to take my money.

That's a little backwards don't you think?

Police resort to tasers too often. What happened to using good old force?

That's what it appears may have to be done if tasers get outlawed as some wish to do. I can't forsee any less lawsuits going to happen if they resort to the nightstick up the pooper than using a taser.

You don't have to sign it, but if you refuse then you have to go to jail instead. That's what you are doing by signing it, "waiving your right to be brought before a magistrate (judge) right away". By signing it you are saying "I'm not guilty, but I don't want to see a judge right now". That's how it works. All he had to do was sign the ticket and plead not guilty and fight it in court.

This is from a year ago. It's remaking the rounds around the internet now also.

Note that the cop appears to have the taser pointing at him while he’s still sitting in the driver’s seat.

Cop was suspended three days
