I love the irony!!!

Rebecca Musarra, an attorney in Philadelphia,  was stopped by police in New Jersey. Trooper Matthew Stazzone pulled her over allegedly for speeding. When he asked for her license, registration, and proof of insurance, she complied but when he asked her a question, which could have incriminated her, she chose not to speak.

Although she remained respectful yet silent during her encounter with police, her silence got her arrested. After Officer Stazzone arrested her, he read her Miranda rights telling her that she had the right to remain silent. What?

After Trooper James Butler, a supervisor, watched the dash cam video, he determined there was no basis for Musarra to have been arrested. He apologized and explained that "a mistake was made, and to chalk it up to training, and that [Stazzone] was just a rookie."

She was released without being charged or cited but has filed a lawsuit in response to what happened.

It seems to me the lawyer was smarter than the cops. They should have arrested her for speeding and not cooperating with law enforcement. I suggest she not try this in AL.
