She Faces 3 Years In Jail For Making Sure She Wasn’t Being Robbed.......

An Indiana woman is facing felony charges that could land her in jail for three years and cost her her job because she refused to pull off the road for a sheriff’s deputy on a dark country road.
DelRea Good, 52, was charged with resisting arrest after she drove to a lit parking lot rather than pull over immediately. She had waved out of the window to acknowledge she saw the policeman, and she had turned on her hazard lights. It is not uncommon for motorists to drive to a safer place on the road when a policeman turns on the flashing lights.
“I felt I didn’t do anything wrong,” Good said. “I got to a safe place and I told him that.”
Good’s ordeal began with a routine traffic violation for speeding on a country road outside of Portage, Indiana, The Northwest Indiana Times reported. She was going 54 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone when Porter County Sheriff’s Patrolman William Marshall activated the lights on his patrol car.
Since it was 11:21 at night, Good did not want to pull over on the dark road, out of fear for her safety. Instead, she drove about half a mile to a lighted parking lot at a Kohl’s department store so she could see if she was dealing with a real officer or a police impersonator.

Experts say if you suspect a police impersonator may behind you, you should call 911, acknowledge the car’s presence by motioning out of the window, turn on your hazard lights, and then drive at a safe speed to a well-lit area.
‘I’m a Single Female’
“I don’t care who you are. I don’t have to stop on a county road, I’m a single female,” Good reportedly told Marshall. Marshall claimed that Good’s actions put her and others in danger.
Once at the parking lot, Marshall handcuffed her and took her to jail where she was booked for resisting an officer. Good alleged that Marshall bullied her at the jail and that he tried to claim that Advil he had found on her was a controlled substance.

Her attorney said her concerns were warranted. In 1991, a woman pulled over on Valparaiso, Indiana, thinking a police car with flashing red lights was behind her, only to be attacked by someone impersonating an officer.
If she is convicted of a felony, Good could lose her job as a nurse. Good told The Times that she has no criminal record.
“The sheriff’s office supports our officer’s decision in this matter,” Sergeant Larry LaFlower, a spokesman for the Porter County Sheriff, told The Times. The newspaper did not say whether prosecutors would pursue the charges against Good.
Resisting arrest can be considered either a Class D felony or a Class A misdemeanor under Indiana law. A Class D felony is punishable by six months to three years in jail or a fine of up to $10,000 in Indiana. A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine up to $5,000. In Indiana, the judge decides if resisting arrest is a felony or a misdemeanor.
Police Impersonation is a Growing Problem
Good’s concern about a police impersonator is a valid one.
On March 29, a Dodge Challenger with flashing lights pulled an unidentified woman over on Interstate 225, a busy freeway in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colorado. The vehicle was driven by two men in uniforms who forced the woman to give them her keys, electronic devices and her wallet. The fake police officer even had a handgun in a holster and a pair of handcuffs, The Denver Post reported.
The two men are now suspected of robbery and police impersonation by the Aurora Police Department.
“This is serious,” Good said. “This could be your mom, your sister, your daughter next time.”

yeah, it's stupid.
Supposedly, when the lights are turned on, which is NOT an emergency, IN MOST STATES, the mere fact that the lights are on means you are to pull to the side of the road to let them pass to get to the emergency, it ends up being a ticketable offense for those who are in 'transportation' and 'conducting business in commerce', which is what most 'driver's' are doing, drivers ARE in transportation and drivers ARE conducting business no matter what time of night cause some businesses never close, 24/7 they are open for business.

So getting that aside, this driver did not pull over for the police car to get to the emergency, but it turns out SHE was the emergency, and since she figured he wanted HER for not pulling over, her next step after violating traffic law is to call 911 and verify he's legitimate if she's afraid for her life.

911 would contact the police station to make sure it's not an imposter, or to report the imposter for her emergency call.- which if it's an imposter a real officer would be dispatched.

So she knew he was legit and did not pull over to let him pass, and did not pull over recognizing his authority, and a jury of 6 will convict her, because people are so rigid about rules their mentality is

IF I HAVE TO DO IT, so do you.

It's not about her, it's about the fact we have 6 people who will put her in jail for what she did.

Call it out people, we can't fix anything if we are looking at the carrot.

The mule is pulling the cart.
The woman made no phone call using a cell phone to ask siri on her iphone or okay google on her android to get the local police station info to make the call to see if they have a guy behind her, she didn't call 911 to report her fear and they would have verified for her or had an officer sent to her rescue, and she's a driver who has take classes and let her right to travel turn into a privilege that is regulated, and a driver has to Obey man's law, lights on, pull over or you are interfering with an emergency, or if he's stopping you, pull over cause he's arresting (detaining, stopping you from continuing) you.

Sorry, nothing to see here, this is just noise. People want change and won't take the time to see where the problem is, or they want to point their fingers in the wrong direction to act like they make a difference.

Stop driving, start traveling, assert your right to travel, and yeah, get out his way if the lights are on. You could be causing someone's life to be in more danger cause you didn't let him pass ---- if that was his real intention.

Find 6 people in the entire country that can agree she should not waste away for three years for messing up.
Be one of those people who stop judging people and helping the court and police state imprison someone else for a victimless act, if there is no victim I won't even call it a crime. victimless crime sounds like an oxymoron--- moron----calls it a crime when there is no body......nobody..........no body of evidence...........no one got hurt......yeah someone could of gotten hurt if it were an actual emergency, but no one did get hurt.
.
If it were an emergency and someone was hurt or died would you or 6 other judgmental people have given her MORE time to waste away in jail?

What role do you play, cause you have a role in this world we co-create
