Jogger arrested for not having ID

[Theb]

City police officers arrested a woman around 10:45 a.m. Thursday for failing to provide identification after she was stopped near the intersection of 24th and San Antonio, outside Big Bite Pizza & Grill.
Advertising senior Chris Quintero, who witnessed the arrest, said Austin Police Department officers were working at the intersection when the woman jogged across
the block.
“I was sitting at the Starbucks at 24th and San Antonio,” Quintero said. “Then I hear a cop shout at an innocent girl jogging through West Campus with her headphones on.”
When the woman did not stop, the officer grabbed her by the arm and quickly placed her in handcuffs, Quintero said.
“She repeatedly pleaded with them, saying that she was just exercising and to let her go,” Quintero said.
In footage of the incident that Quintero filmed, the woman can be seen attempting to get up from the ground and being kept down by police officers.
“I was doing nothing wrong,” the woman said from her position sitting on the sidewalk. “I was crossing the street.”
When police escorted the woman into the police car, she began shouting and eventually shrieking unintelligibly.

The real question is how did they catch her?

The pseudo police state stuff is pretty common, or at the least a lax in psychological screenings during the hiring process of LEOs.

And the point of the thread would be?

In other news: Two guys whose wives haven't touched them since they got out of the army got to strip-search a cute young blonde.

I'd say it's lawsuit time but they actually got her on something. (No ID.)

Also, vagrancy is bad. Always have an ID in your SPIbelt.

Also, SPIbelts are awesome.

Since when are we required to have ID on us.

 

[PottedMeat]

That is why I wanted an answer from him.

Pick up that can.

Bullshit, there is no law that says I have to carry any id.

TIL: You need to always have ID on you when in the public, in the US. I guess it's to make it easier to identify a person if they get killed or otherwise are unconscious?

Man, they sure grow some fat cops in Texas...

 

[mmntech]

Papers please.

The cops sit and wonder why nobody trusts them. Couple of fat slobs right there. Wonder if Clancy Wiggum is the chief.

8 million internets to you.

You can trade that in for a quart of half and half, or so I'm told.

If you're going to jaywalk in front of police officers, be sure to be able to hear the police calling to you.

 

[88keys]

1. How do you know she was jaywalking?
2. Who the fuck writes citations for jaywalking these days?

 

[MrDudeMan]

Actually, the update to the link in the OP makes sense to me. I thought this was wrong at first, but it's reasonable in my opinion after reading the explanation.

Google is your friend.

From what I understand, they had problems with jiggers oblivious to the world around them jaywalking/running out into the street with headphones on. So they setup this operation to bust 'em.

Can't say I fault the cops in this case.

 

[skyking]

97 fatalities, 1800 injuries. Sounds like they were doing their job. She just did not want to get a ticket.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

“. . . she decided to throw [herself] to the ground – officers didn’t sit her down – and she did the limp routine.”

So just drama.

 

[88keys]

Google is your friend.

So I take that you just assumed that she was guilty of a crime?

Look at those fat fucks, holy crap that is some sloppy lack of professionalism. Pretty much if you are that morbidly obese as a cop who works the beat you don't give a damn and shouldn't have your job. Imagine if we had firefighters who were a hundred lbs overweight fighting fires, they'd end up stuck inside the house and adding to the fire like a candle.
