OKLAHOMA CITY An Oklahoma City woman is facing an array of
charges after allegedly injuring an officer during a traffic
stop.
On Tuesday morning, officers were called to S.W. 25th St. and
Kentucky to help another officer during a traffic stop.
According to the arrest affidavit, the alleged suspects vehicle
had a cracked windshield, a broken tail light and did not have a
license plate.
At that point, an officer approached 23-year-old Exzanty Moore.
She proceeded to tell me how we had no authority over her and
that she did not need to provide us with any form of
identification. I tried to calmly explain to [Moore] that she
was mistaken but she refused to waiver from her stance. Instead,
she handed me a pamphlet titled Do You Know Your Rights?, the
arrest affidavit said.
Authorities say they continued to ask for Moores drivers
license, but she allegedly told officers that they dont know
the law and that she did not have to give us her license.
At that point, officers say they felt Moore was becoming
argumentative, so they placed stop sticks in front of the car to
prevent her from driving off.
We continued to explain to [Moore] that she was being given a
lawful command to give us her drivers license and refusal to do
so was grounds for arrest, the report alleges.
At that point, officers say Moore accelerated forward, running
over one of the officers legs and the stop sticks.
Police began following Moore, who allegedly ran several stop
signs and sped through a neighborhood.
According to the arrest affidavit, Moore pulled into a driveway
of a home and she was taken into custody.
Moore was arrested for 23 charges including assault with a
dangerous weapon, leaving the scene of an injury accident,
aggravated assault and battery on a police officer, obstructing
a police officer, attempting to elude, resisting, assault and
battery on a city official and several traffic infractions.
While on the way to jail, Moore reportedly called officers the
scum of the Earth and said they were all going to jail
because it was illegal for us to enforce traffic laws or even
possess a ticket book.
In the past, KFOR has consulted local authorities and found out
what rights apply in our state.
In Oklahoma, when a police officer asks you for your license and
proof of insurance, you have to give it to him or her.
Officers dont typically ask for registration because they can
get that information by running the tag.
If the officer asks you if you know why he stopped you, you do
not have to answer that question.
In some cities, if you are asked to get out of the car, you have
to comply.
It has become a lot more common for officers to leave you in
your car until the point when you are going to be arrested.
If an officer has probable cause to search your car, he does not
need permission. An officer may choose to search your car if
drugs are in plain view, and other very obvious things.
If the officer has no clear probable cause, he can ask for
permission and you can say no.
If you say NO, expect to remain at the scene a while to wait
for a drug dog. If the drug dog hits on the car, the officer
then has probable cause.
If the drug dog finds nothing and the officer still thinks
something is illegal, he can keep you in investigative detention
as the department applies for a search warrant.
You can record the stopjust dont make any sudden moves when
getting your camera. You do not want it mistaken for a weapon.
If an officer gives you a lawful order, you must do what he says.
Officers say even if you are upset or angry, be polite, use
common sense, and dont make any sudden or threatening movements.
If you feel you were poorly treated during a traffic stop, make
a complaint with the department.
