NJ State Troopers arrest woman for not answering questions.

Recommended Posts

N.J. troopers arrest woman for remaining silent during traffic stop.

 

 

Two New Jersey state troopers cuffed a woman along a Warren County roadway and hauled her in on an obstruction charge because she refused to answer questions during a routine traffic stop, according to dashboard camera footage obtained by NJ Advance Media.

 

The Oct. 16 incident, which happened near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border on Route 519, is now the subject of a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by the woman, Rebecca Musarra, an attorney from Philadelphia.

 

Musarra claims in the suit the troopers violated basic rules familiar to anybody who's ever watched a police show on TV, including the right to remain silent.

 

She claims at least three troopers insisted during the ordeal that her refusal to answer questions was a criminal act.

 

She was never charged with obstruction or issued a summons as a result of the stop, records show. The whole ordeal lasted about two hours.

 

 

Cant tell you how many times Ive (read on forums like this one) or heard cops say that "I can ask you whatever I want".

 

With the implication that the person doesnt have to answer...
