arrest – All about car

French policemen from Sud de la France were conducting a distracted driving crackdown near Marseille last week when they spotted surely the strangest thing theyll see in their career: a goddamn pony riding shotgun in a microcar.They snapped the photo you see above, then they arrested the woman driving the vehicle, only to discover she also didnt have a drivers licence.Luckily, behind the wheel of a microcar like this, thats not a problem: in France, as long as youre over 14 years old, you can drive said voitures sans permis on almost any road, except expressways and highways. And anyway, you dont want to ride those citadines anywhere but cities or on quiet regional roads, since theyre legally limited to 45 km/h.Prêts à devenir #Policier et à affronter l#Insolite ? https://t.co/PdWDtr7qY9 Surprise lors dun contrôle routier 🚔 entre #LaCiotat et #Marseille, un poney au service des enfants handicapés !!! Noble cause certes mais attention aux règles de transport de nos amis les #Animaux pic.twitter.com/tJoZNFmRAU Police nationale 13 (@PoliceNat13) November 22, 2019The problem here was more the, uh, animal. As Police Nationale 13 told the media after the bizarre event, there are rules for keeping our four-legged friends safe in an automobile. In this case, they were obviously not respected.To be fair, the horse seems like it was treated humanely, as its owner explained to the officers. First, wood planks on the floor gave it space to stretch comfortably. And while the pony got into the car from the trunk, once they got to their destination a center for handicapped children hed exit via the passenger door. The woman, a psychomotor physiotherapist, pleaded she was simply transporting the therapy animal in the microcar until she got her drivers licence, when she could legally drive the horse in a much more suitable van.Police officers checked her story and found she was telling the truth so they let her go. No fine was issued. But, boy, did those cops have a story to

A police officer hands out a ticket to a motorist during a distracted driving blitz on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 near the Midtown Bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba.Chris Procaylo Police in Winnipeg say one of their officers was zapped in the face with a stun gun while he and another officer tried to arrest a suspected car thief. Officers were stopped by a group of people on Saturday afternoon who told them a male was trying to steal a nearby vehicle, and was inside it kicking at the windshield. Police say the officers found the suspect inside the car but he locked the doors and refused to come out. The owner of the vehicle eventually unlocked the car, but police say the suspect still refused to exit, and he fought with the officers when they tried to tried to arrest him. Const. Jay Murray says the officers tried to Taser the suspect, but he was able to get his finger into the trigger and allegedly zapped one of the officers in the face before they finally subdued him. Rodney Alvin Meeches, 32, of Winnipeg, faces charges that include theft of a vehicle, disarming a peace officer and assaulting a peace officer with a weapon. A video taken by a bystander, which Murray says is circulating on social media, shows two officers struggling with the suspect on the pavement outside the car while the clicking of the energy weapon is audible. You can hear the Taser cycling on and off, but the suspect actually gets his finger into the trigger and clamps down, so now it’s cycling repeatedly, Murray said. Then if you see the video, the officers, I believe they start to punch at that point in an attempt to get that Taser under control and take this person into custody. The suspect was eventually arrested and was taken to hospital where he was treated and released, and is now in custody. Police say they believe recent drug use may have played a role in the incident. Both officers later attended a hospital for treatment of injuries they sustained. Murray said the officer who wasn’t hit with the Taser will likely be off work for several days due to his
