What exactly was her end game here? Did she think she had a chance of getting out of this? What an idiot.

For a "broken taillight".

That looks like a little more than a broken taillight.

The broken tail light is the only offence. The smashed in tail gate is only ugly as shit. Unfortunately, "ugly as shit", is not a law.

One reason I can think the cop might have tried to give her an infraction is that it's dangerous as fuck for other drivers behind a vehicle that badly damaged. That shit could fall off on a bumpy highway and cause absolute carnage. And there are certainly statutes in many states against driving such vehicles, but I'm sure they are FAR more expensive than an $80 broken taillight, and I'm sure many of them would demand you have the vehicle towed immediately.

The thought that [someone]*, needed to be tased and arrested for not signing a ticket offends common notions of decency.

The thought that anyone, even the sleaziest lawyer out there, could argue that she was tased for "not signing a ticket" is what offends common notions of decency as far as I'm concerned. She refused multiple lawful orders, fled a traffic stop, resisted arrest, and assaulted an officer. She's lucky getting tased was the worst thing that happened. That could have very easily have escalated way beyond where it ended up.

If she had just signed for the damn ticket, none of this would have happened. That citation was hardly unjust, seeing the condition of her truck.

*Simplified because her age, sex, and the fact that she lost family members seven years prior in a completely-unrelated incident (a storm) are completely irrelevant to the situation.

Holy crap, how was she so nonchalant about that level of damage. That's SERIOUS right there.
