while i donot condone violence, i certainly do feel the frustration of this driver. He is a man that stood to be counted aganist IMPUNITY. A cop has no right to enter your vehicle, and he should be professionally trained to handle a pyscho and not behave idiotically as he did. This cop was a perfect idiot he had several oppourtuinities to redeem himself but chose to fight. there were better ways of handling the suspect.

@Rahatupu
from the clip it is self defense.The fact that he is a police officer doesnt give him the mandate to "beat with ease". He should also be held accountable for his actions...after all, what we saw is the reality on the ground as far as police-civilian perception of each other is.

....now all traffic officers to be armed

Rahatupu-please don't utter lies. I've spoken to a lawyer who confirms that cops enter private vehicles without warrant or permission from drivers at own risk.
Its the same way a cop can't enter a house without a warrant or permission from owner.

FYI.... and this one is an advisory from the state law office.....I could be wrong but let's here from the lawyers too.

The piece from the lawyers is very true lakini it is skewed in favour of me and you. It is specific to traffic offenses and cannot be applicable in general. It ignores the other side of the coin which empowers law enforcers to where conditions/circumstances allow to arrest/search without warrant. The circumstances for arrest of motorist (not necessarily traffic offenses) may necessitate the cop to actually impound and drive your car to the police station while effecting an arrest.

FYI....the law is always on the side of the enforcing officer e.g: the Penal Code, Powers and Privileges Act empower police officers while setting in place checks for excesses and misuse of these powers. BTW Police do not stop motorists for traffic offenses only there are a host of other reasons why a police officer may stop a vehicle. While at it, the battered image of our police force needs mending.

@Njung'e how do you expect police to intercept criminals on the roads? How do you expect them to nab drug traffickers, human traffickers etc, do you expect that the environment in which they operate will always be kind and cooperative? An assault on the officer in uniform is an assault on the state period!
