I take it that you've never been old...yet?
Not really, only 38. However, the officer would be in trouble for touching the female, or letting her run into traffic so he is in a Catch 22.
I disagree. Officers can, and do, touch females if needed. Just because the arrestee is female doesn't mean they can't be subdued if the person or officers safety comes into play. Pushing a person or wrestling them to the ground is required sometimes, male or female. In this case, the dash cam shows the officer played it by the book and there was no inappropriate physical contact.
When I was a LEO we had a couple of females (and they were NOT ladies) in the area that could probably have taken me in a fair fight. The 'Mag-Light massage' worked on one of them one night, but it was administered by a lady officer. However, I wouldn't have hesitated to shampoo her myself if there was a need to do so.
