An Arkansas woman is suing a state trooper after she claims he performed a dangerous pursuit intervention technique (PIT) maneuver during a traffic stop, which caused her vehicle to flip on its top

An Arkansas woman is suing a state trooper after she claims he performed a dangerous pursuit intervention technique maneuver during a traffic stop, which caused her vehicle to flip on its top as she attempted to pull over.

An attorney for Janice Nicole Harper filed the lawsuit last month in Pulaski County, the county seat of Little Rock. Harper, who was two months pregnant at the time of the July 9, 2020, incident, alleges Arkansas State Police Trooper Rodney Dunn negligently performed the PIT maneuver that resulted in a motor vehicle collision. Harper said she slowed down, but didn't immediately pull over because there was no safe place for her to do so.

'It upsets me': Black man reacts to White friend's traffic stop 05:34According to the Arkansas Driver License Guide, when drivers are being stopped by the police, they should activate their turn signal or emergency flashers to indicate they are seeking a safe place to stop and pull over to the right side of the road.

Was she trying to escape? If so.... fk her!

no other civilized country police force do dangerous car pursuit to minor suspects-they take car number and track him with road cameras-catch him later with no danger to public

Ok on actually watching the video, I fully retract my opinion. She clearly had her hazards on, this cop was clearly in the wrong...dangers of commenting without having knowing full facts...apologies 😵

In all fairness to the cop. He gave her almost a full minute to pull over. All she did was slow down, turn on her four ways and look for a safe place. What a bitch.

'Allegedly'? 🤔

Er, I think that isn’t in question!
