I didn't say she should submit it... Just use it to refresh her memory about the events while she's in court. Court can be very nerve racking for some people, and after it is all over with, hindsight kicks in with 'Dammit, why didn't I think of that in court'.

The court would only be interested in your feelings if they were submitted as 'Contemporaneous notes'. And as such, the court would have to pay them high regard, they are a sort of sub-witness to the scene.
But then I am versed in UK law not US.

It may be hard for some individuals to understand the remoteness of this place. The entire COUNTY has only 2,000 residents! There are no radio stations anywhere near Capitol Reef National Park. If you don't bring your own music you have none!

Never talk to the police.

NEVER heed advice given by fake cops over the interwebs.

Okay. But what if they're right...and you're wrong?

Park Ranger Steven Powers had no right to even get angry with me, I was telling him how his actions terrified me and that I knew they were illegal. Did you read the part where i mentioned he was following me with his BRIGHT LIGHTS ON? And you say I have no right to be angry?

Would YOU have been angry?

I have a great quote from someone named LawDog: "It was hammered into me at the Academy that a Peace Officer could not be insulted or offended. You could arrest someone for flipping off a non-LEO in public, and you could arrest someone for cussing a non-LEO in public, but you could not arrest that person for flipping or cussing you (as a Peace Officer)."

And then, your final insult to me is that I'm foolish to be informed.

Seriously bad style, lawman. BAD STYLE.

Johnny Troll says:
"Once again I (gollum, gollum) seem to get the vibe off you and others here (gollum) that if you are recording, you get special (gollum, gollum, gollum) privileges."

We do. And we get a gold star for every cop thug bagged on tape.

You would know this if you ever ventured forth from the blackness of mommy's basement.

@ JohnnyLaw,

You probably don't understand what epinephrine is, or what it does to emotions, but it's the thing that makes you run when you're scared. You've been scared before, haven't you?

so, when you say things like "If you had just stayed calm and done what the officer required, you would have been on your way in a couple of minutes." I know you're right, and I even said so to him after the cuffs were on (not an apology, but trying to tell him what a mistake he made over a simple traffic stop).

But see, it wasn't my actions that created the problem, it was Park Ranger Steven Powers' actions that started it. I was only reacting to his actions! I went from flight to fight in less than 10 seconds. But he was the pursuer, he initiated the contact and handled it badly. HE was the cause of the epinephrine rush.

But *I* should have been the patient one. (yea, I would think that is how another LEO would think: no bad cops, only bad citizens...)

And I've never stepped away from an injustice because of fear. You know how little dogs go right up to the big dogs and start barking? Well, try being a female in RURAL UTAH and poor and short to boot, and you might understand what I go through every single day: the looks, the discrimination, the men that think I'm weak.

I don't have physical stature, but you can't take this brain away from me. :)

one more thing...

-->"Johnny, it would have been a 1 page PDF about a "traffic stop" but turned into a longer PDF about an illegal arrest!"

"Nothing illegal about it other than your refusal to get out of the car when directed to."

I GOT OUT OF THE CAR ON MY OWN VOLITION AND DID NOT RESIST ONE SINGLE SECOND ONCE OUT OF THE CAR.

How is that refusing? How is that resisting?

"I would ask you the same thing about people with cameras. Once again I seem to get the vibe off you and others here that if you are recording, you get special privileges."

Those are called "Constitutional rights."

Gosh! What fascist traits you have sir.
It seems that police training in the US is not quite what it should be.

I am reviewing my forthcoming trip to do business in the USA. And I shall be seeking assurance from the US ambassador that your attitude sir, is not a typical one. Do you mind if I use your comments as proof of my concerns?

A random question about police breaking traffic laws? Yeah you really have me stumped there.

You have to speed to be able to catch up with speeders. You have to get close to a vehicle to be able to read a license plate at night in order to put it out over the radio. You sometimes have to run red lights when a drunk blows one in front of you.

Any other meaningless questions?
