Won’t sign your speeding ticket in Texas? that’s a tasering offense


A man pulled over for speeding in Fort Worth, Texas was tased after he refused to sign the speeding ticket.

Ryan Majcher, who volunteers his time helping police as a “Citizens on Patrol” member, was pulled over a few months ago when caught speeding on the way to work. Majcher wasn’t very pleased with being pulled over and pleaded with police to wave the ticket.

The police were none to amused then asked him to get out of the car. “I was getting out the car and next thing I know, I had what looked like a gun directly at my face,” Majcher told local media. The officer threatened him with arrest for not signing the ticket…before then discharging the taser.

Video taken at the scene does show Majcher arguing with the police, but in a passive manner. A lawyer quoted by the local TV station said that “It’s very clear in the [Fort Worth Police] policy that if someone is showing passive noncompliance, they’re not in a position to be tasered,” he said.

Naturally the police dismissed the complaint, saying that the officer did nothing wrong.
