From [1]Melissa, Texas, via [2]Don't Tase Me Bro,
Mark Robinson was driving through downtown Melissa last week when
he was pulled over for failing the use his turn signal.
But instead of getting a ticket, the officer took the 24-year-old
to jail.
He was booked, strip searched, and sat for 3 hours with
criminals. �People talking about using drugs and shooting heroin.
They asked me what I was in there for and I said a turn signal
violation,� said Robinson.
There aren't any warrants out for Robinson. In fact he says he's
never been in jail. But he does admit to challenging the officer's
questions during the stop.
