Federal Appeals Court Rules "Okay" for Cops to Taser Pregnant Woman, Malaika Brooks, Over Traffic Ticket

Washington state appeals court rules that it is okay for cops to taser pregnant woman, Malaika Brooks, over her refusal to sign traffic ticket.

It's now okay in the state of Washington for cops to taser a pregnant woman. A federal appeals court ruled that three Seattle police officers were justified when they used a stun gun to subdue a pregnant woman, Malaika Brooks, who refused to sign a traffic ticket. This sets a very dangerous precedent that you can be tasered and thrown in jail over disputing with the officer that a traffic ticket was not warranted.

Ms. Brooks was reportedly driving her son to Seattle's African American Academy in 2004 when she was stopped for doing 32 mph in a school zone. According to media reports, she insisted it was the car in front of her that was speeding, and refused to sign the ticket because she thought she'd be admitting guilt.
