Austin police drag jogger to car screaming after jaywalking without ID

woman-arrested-on-streetRaw Story – by John Byrne

A Texas woman was dragged screaming to a police car in Austin, Texas after being arrested for failing to provide ID while jaywalking.

The woman, pulled to a police car in gym clothes, was captured on video shouting, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

A University of Texas Student filmed the police capturing the jogger and placing her in an officer’s car.  

“I was sitting at the Starbucks at 24th and San Antonio,” the student, Chris Quintero, told the Daily Texan, the student newspaper for the University of Texas-Austin. “Then I hear a cop shout at an innocent girl jogging through West Campus with her headphones on.”

Police told the woman to provide identification, Quintero remarked. When she wouldn’t, the officer grabbed her arm and placed her in handcuffs.

“She repeatedly pleaded with them, saying that she was just exercising and to let her go,” Quintero said. Quintero is heard in the video saying, “I saw you,” after the woman calls across the street, saying, “I was doing nothing wrong. I was crossing the street.”

Police then apparently called for backup. Two additional officers on bicycles arrived as the arresting officers were putting the jogger in the car.

The Daily Texan reached out to the Austin Police Department, where police spokeswoman Lisa Cortinas said police were working on “pedestrian enforcement.” Cortinas maintained that police weren’t targeting jaywalkers specifically, but instead focusing on pedestrian and bike safety overall.

“District representatives were working pedestrian enforcement at 24th Street and Guadalupe,” she said. “[In this case], the call is titled failure to identify.”

“I don’t think there’s any [jaywalking] initiative going on out there,” a second spokeswoman said.

After her arrest, the woman, who is not identified in the Texan, is shown screaming as she is secured in the car.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” she shouts. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t f#@king do anything wrong. I just crossed the street.”

  1. You beat me to it Paul.

    These code enforcers in Austin have zero common sense! If I were jogging down the street with headphones on and someone grabbed me, I would have pulled my arm away too, heck anyone would have!

    I hope she wasn’t molested while they booked her for her horrible crime of crossing the street. All this nonsense because she didn’t cross between the lines.

  2. Why the hell didn’t anybody on the street come to her aid???? This is freakin creepy!!! If I’d of been there I would have followed that car and made sure she made it to the police station, assuming that’s where these fattys were taking her.

  3. as a woman my first thought was she was probably in fear of her personal safety. who knows what they were gonna do to her once out of sight. this shit probably happens more often than people realize. its happened here in our small city. once to the cop shop probably had cameras on her the whole time. she did the right thing by screaming and kudos to the person filming it. what happened to just issuing a ticket. in this lousy economy expect more of the same. a bunch of degenerates. these are the people who work for the beast in one capacity or another and why the prison industrial complex is churning out male on male rape victims and or consensual victims nonetheless and why are country is a cesspool of rotten filth. that’s how much disdain I have for their system and always have. these people are right up there with the tsa agents at the airport. disgusting!

  4. The poor girl has probably never broken a law.
    This is a warning to all us peons: we will arrest you for just being, and by God, you better have a reason to be here and proof of your existence.
    Oh, if you are “illegal” that’s ok, you have rights.

  5. These are some real Tough Hombres.
    Why don’t they find some real criminals to go after?
    What has happened here in our country?
    I guess they are just generating revenue, to keep their worthless jobs

    1. “Why don’t they find some real criminals to go after?”

      What??? You really think they’re going to arrest themselves, their co-workers, their bosses, and every politician in the country???

      Hate to be the one to break the news to ya, Jack, but THAT ain’t gonna happen!!!

  6. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” she shouts. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t f#@king do anything wrong. I just crossed the street.”

    Her first mistake was believing that she actually HAD to do anything wrong to be arrested, or tased, or even shot and killed by these fat, donut scarfing toads.

    Live and learn, I always say.

  7. First off, I’d like to say,

    WHY THE F**K WAS EVERYONE JUST STANDING THERE WATCHING ALL OF THIS HAPPENING AND NO ONE WAS HELPING HER!!!?!????? DO SOMETHING YOU, SPINELESS COWARDS!!!!!

    HOW THE F**K ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT THESE BASTARDS IF WE ARE JUST GOING TO STAND THERE AND WATCH???!!!! I would have done something or at least tried. THIS IS INSANE!!! WAKE UP, YOU FOOLS!!! This makes Austin people look like a bunch of cowards. WHAT THE F**K??

    “She repeatedly pleaded with them, saying that she was just exercising and to let her go,” Quintero said. Quintero is heard in the video saying, “I saw you,” after the woman calls across the street, saying, “I was doing nothing wrong. I was crossing the street.”

    So now they are arresting people for jaywalking?????? Illegals coming in every single day by the truckload, drugs being smuggled in, banks stealing our money, WWIII, oh hell, do I even have to continue with the 100 or more things that are a lethal threat to humanity, yet these policemen feel that a person jaywalking is a crisis that must be averted? ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME???!!!

    “Police then apparently called for backup. Two additional officers on bicycles arrived as the arresting officers were putting the jogger in the car.”

    Yes, because one inept cop can’t handle a 20 year old college girl, so he needs to call three of his buddies because that college girl is oh so dangerous and cruel. She’s so evil, she makes a serial killer look like an angel. I mean seriously. What the F**K?? But I know why they are doing it. They want to make sure that they have their buddies there to back them up and side with their phoney story when they tell it to the D.A. Otherwise it would just be her story against the cop’s and it won’t hold up. But since it was 4 against 1, and since they know that the people DON’T HAVE THE BALLS TO STAND UP AND DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE COWARDS, they feel they are confident in getting away with it and having their way with her.

    “The Daily Texan reached out to the Austin Police Department, where police spokeswoman Lisa Cortinas said police were working on “pedestrian enforcement.” Cortinas maintained that police weren’t targeting jaywalkers specifically, but instead focusing on pedestrian and bike safety overall.”

    Pedestrian enforcement??!!!! Is that what they are calling it? Are you F**KING KIDDING ME???!!!

    So now I have to have the government’s permission to cross a F**KING STREET!!!!??? I have to act like a robot because even though I am 20 years old and can look both ways before crossing the street and with my own eyes see if their are cars coming? But now I have to pretend that I’m a child and ask my Big Brother police to make sure that it is OK for me to do so? Is this what we have become as a society? Are we this pathetic, people? Are we going to let them tell us when we should drink a bottle of water, too or when to wear our headphones or when to say “Goodbye to someone?” WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!?? WAKE THE F**K UP!!! 😡 😡

    ““District representatives were working pedestrian enforcement at 24th Street and Guadalupe,” she said. “[In this case], the call is titled failure to identify.””

    So now if I don’t identify myself, I can be arrested?? Unf**kingbelievable. So it looks like they are trying to bring Bloominidiot’s stop and frisk program to Austin. Good luck with that!

    I guess this is just paving the way for them to indoctrinate the masses with their stop and frisk programs, license plate recognition and facial recognition software. So basically, if you don’t tell them who you are and where you are going and where you are coming from, you are going to get arrested. WTF??? How is that any different than the crossing the border or Nazi Germany. “Your papers, please!”.

    Funny how AJ being in Austin, TX, has got ZERO coverage on that story. I guess he’s a big man in the news now. He’s gone mainstream and doesn’t need those kinds of stories anymore. He’s too good for them and those people who donated to his 4 or 5 studios. It’s amazing how he doesn’t even give an address to his studio after all of this time. Like he’s still living in the shadows and hiding from the government. What a F**King shill. I can’t wait to hang that fat bastard and every other cop in this country. I’ve had it with them all. The good cops (if any) better leave now while they still have the chance, because the grim reaper is coming for the rest and believe me, his sickle is growing sharper by the day.

    1. “WHY THE F**K WAS EVERYONE JUST STANDING THERE WATCHING ALL OF THIS HAPPENING AND NO ONE WAS HELPING HER!!!?!?????

      BAAAAAAAAAAA…….

      That answer your question, NC?

  8. pay attention to last names

    NC I feel your anguish. as for aj he started me on my quest and for that i’m grateful. aj hoped all this could be averted if enough people woke up in time but even knows now that its too late. steve quayle actually said this on v the guerrilla economist dead bankers video.
