Quote:Mo. driver who honked at police, sparking altercation, must pay $650

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A 69-year-old woman who was shocked with a stun gun after she honked her car horn at a police cruiser has been convicted of resisting arrest for sparking a quarrel with officers.

A Circuit Court jury refused to send Louise Jones to jail, fining her $650 instead.

Jones’ attorney, Basil North, said he might appeal. “We don’t think she should have been convicted of anything,” he said.

On June 15, 2004, police officers Cory Le Moine and Ryan VanDeusen responded to a domestic disturbance call near Jones’ home. The officers were cruising the street slowly, watching for trouble. Jones was in her car behind the police vehicle when she honked her horn and pulled into her driveway.

Police, spooked by the horn, parked and questioned Jones, leading to a scuffle after they threatened to write her a ticket. The stun gun of one of the officers discharged during the altercation, according to testimony.

The trial was Jones’ second in the case.

She and her 78-year-old husband, Fred, who tried to break up the scuffle, had been convicted and sentenced to probation by a judge in Municipal Court over the incident. Both appealed, and charges against the husband were dismissed, while the wife was granted a retrial in Circuit Court.

Getting Bauered is the new pwned.

The legal system, the worker's comp system, the cps system, the medical system, all these systems are picking us off one at a time. Don't get entangled with any of them.

Yeah Henry, it really angers me to think that these little Nazi fuckers could do this to an old woman and get it away with it.

A few years ago there would have been a public outcry about this. Fuckin fascist pigs.

Yeah, things are getting more insane by the month. Police don't even carry clubs anymore. As a cop your told "your one of us" to cause separation in their mind with normal citizens, and given power to do as they please for the most part. Here in DC there's a big thing going on where a cop bought something at a furniture store, had it delivered, and two of the delivery guys end up being shot by him, one just died! Is every offense a lethal offense? Like when they shocked that kid in college some months back. Them big dudes could of just picked him up and thrown him out "old school" style. Nah, lets shock the shit out of him! What that lady had a weak heart, the penalty for honking her horn could of been her life......
