   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 suspect’s 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 Moore’s driver’s   
   license, but she allegedly told officers that they “don’t 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 driver’s 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 officer’s 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 don’t 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 stop—just don’t 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 don’t make any sudden or threatening movements.   
      
   If you feel you were poorly treated during a traffic stop, make   
   a complaint with the department.
