Janice Harper is suing the Arkansas State Police after officer Rodney Dunn flipped her car on an Arkansas highway in July 2020.A woman is suing the officer who attempted to stop her for speeding, saying his PIT maneuver -- short for Precision Immobilization Technique -- was"negligently performed," causing her car to overturn in a crash caught on video.
Within four seconds of Dunn's police lights turning on, Harper claimed she hit her blinker, slowed to 60 mph and moved to the right lane. Harper argued she wasn’t able to stop safely because of a narrow shoulder and concrete barriers, the suit said. In a PIT maneuver, an officer uses his or her front bumper to touch the corner of the suspect’s back bumper, causing the car to spin and come to a stop.
"When I pulled up alongside of you, you saw I was a state trooper ... we call it a PIT maneuver, when people flee from us ... all you had to do was pull over," the officer says.A trooper walks around Janice Nicole Harper's overturned car on U.S. Highway 167 in Pulaski County, Ark., on July 9, 2020, in police dash cam footage provided to ABC News by attorney Andrew Norwood.
"Dunn did not know better. The Arkansas State Police failed to train Defendant Dunn in the appropriate manner of initiating a traffic stop on a road with an extremely reduced shoulder and the Arkansas State Police failed to train Defendant Dunn in proper and safe PIT maneuver technique," the suit said.The state police did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
Both parties are idiots
Interesting 🤓 my grandpa WW11 purple 💜 veteran drove drunk all the time and never got caught! I have 2 past DUIS and went to really shitty places. On my way to work a woman in a new BMW with her babies in the car was driving the wrong way down the street and could have killed
Cops are out of control. Not immediately stopping is no reason to endanger a life. He needs to drive a desk or be fired completely
That was dumb. She dumb.
The agency better get out a blank check. This is an unreasonable amount of force for someone who is speeding. Absolutely no reason to utilize a tactic that could easily result in death or significant injury’
Now charge that POS with attempted murder and than we are on to something. She acknowledged to that shit head that she is aware that she is being pulled over by turning on her hazard lights,she slowed down while looking for a safe place to pull over. Damn ego complex issues
I totally agree!!!
“Speeding car won’t stop and a car chase began which threatened other cars”. She was the law breaker. Just stop!
Sounds like dumb law enforcement and I’m pro law enforcement
PIT maneuver is going too far for a traffic 🛑stop. Did this person just rob someone at gun point? This is excessive!
I’m, there was plenty of room to pull over safely & the fact that she’s making that excuse indicates she knew the officer was behind her & made no attempt to stop. & the out maneuver looked like a textbook pit. Maybe pull over instead of being a twit.
She had her hazards on in compliance and probably looking for an exit for safety for both her and him...but of course power honed with patience is a rarity.

👎Her parents obviously failed her and now she is going to fail her kid! She broke the law and then thought she was above it. The world is laughing at how uncivilized Americans are and acting like ignorant spoiled brats! Poor police having to deal with this trash daily!
Решение подать в суд на полицейского обречено на провал. В любом государстве. Вердикт тут всегда один- не превышай скорость!
Lol!! Thee ol’ oxi-Moron! 😂👊🏽 GTFOH
Negligence by the office. She slowed down was NOT trying to escape ...... looks like she was trying to find a spot to pull over. A pit maneuver for Speeding!? SMH
I think the officer did the best job stopping this woman from killing someone on the road. I think that woman needs a reality check and sued for speeding.
She'll win and the public will pay.
I thought once the lights come on you pull over?
We need police to protect us from police.
I hope she fucking wins.
Just look at the video provided here. There is plenty of room to pull over her car.
