"A Utah police officer [Jeff Payne] who was caught on video roughly handcuffing a nurse because she refused to allow a blood draw was fired Tuesday in a case that became a flashpoint in the ongoing national conversation about police use of force."
Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown made the decision after an internal investigation found evidence Detective Jeff Payne violated department policies when he arrested nurse Alex Wubbels and dragged her out of the hospital as she screamed on July 26, said Sgt. Brandon Shearer, a spokesman for the department.
Attorney Greg Skordas has said Payne served the department well for nearly three decades and questioned whether his behavior warranted termination. He couldn't immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.

Tickets: or driving while black; young; in a sports car; in a hot rod
In practice, speeding isn't required at all. While driving a sports car 40mph in a 40mph zone and being passed, I was pulled over to be cited for 51. This is why I have a dash cam, and I really wish they'd be available when I was a teenager.
My fav quote from an officer: "It doesn't matter if you're speeding now. If you drive a car like that you must have been speeding sometime."

My favorite quote after being detained for 35 minutes for running a yellow light: "I'm going to cite you for running that red light, you can take me to court but it will be your word against mine...."
