In response to this article. 1. I have been pulled over for it. 2. There is information that he was pulled over for expired tabs.

When my boys got their drivers licenses, they were required to be added to my insurance. They figured that I would be letting them use my vehicle regardless. So as long as they lived here, they had to be insured. It’s a difference from Florida, I see.

I watch a lot of Judge Judy when I’m at the gym, and there are a lot of people that sell their vehicles and don’t get the title transferred and get it insured in their name. For months! Kind of surprises me but that’s what a lot of people do. I don’t hear people getting shot over it, that’s for sure.😠
that's the way it is here

BBM, he was shot because the officer pulled her gun instead of the taser.

Wasn't there a warrant for his arrest? And while he was being put in handcuffs didn't he choose to pull away & jump back into the vehicle?
 
From what I understand he had a warrant, expired tags, no driver's license, a car not registered to him nor insured and tried to leave, would not exit the vehicle, resisted...

Yes, the warrant for the arrest would be cause enough to cuff him, IMO.
 

In cross-examination, Johnson agreed that Potter had a right to use deadly force to prevent death or bodily harm, which he could have suffered if Wright had taken off with Johnson still inside the vehicle.

"So basically, based on these videos and the conduct of Daunte Wright, as far as you're concerned -- and you were there -- Kimberly Potter would have had a right to use a firearm, right?" defense attorney Earl Gray asked.

"Yes," Johnson answered.

Gray asked Johnson what would have happened to him if Wright had taken off with him still in the car.

"Probably dragged," Johnson answered.

"Dragged and what," Gray asked.

"Injured."

"Seriously injured, maybe even dead, right?" Gray said.

Johnson agreed.

"And if that were the case, when an officer in your position with Officer Potter trying to stop him from resisting with you and resisting Luckey, would it be fair for that officer to use a firearm to stop him?" Gray asked.

"By state statute, yes," Johnson replied.

they definitely had a right to escalate, but there is no excuse to mistake your gun for a taser.
 
I think they already did have a cop testify that she would have been authorized to use deadly force in the circumstances. As outraged as it would make people, I think she would be better off had she pulled the gun intentionally rather than the taser. I have even wondered if she didn't but decided a mixup of weapons was the way to go... It is almost easier for me to believe than that she confused the weapons... Jmo.

Me, too.
 
She said if she had been on patrol by herself, she wouldn't have pulled over the car for the expired tag, cuz of COVID. Said when they ran the plate they saw the registered owner had a warrant. I thought the Mom had just given him the car a few weeks before. How do you transfer the title with an expired tag??

Never took it in to transfer it?
 
You can transfer titles at least here without registering something for road use. People buy vehicles for parts, as farm trucks, etc. So maybe that's the case OR the other son had a warrant as well... It was his brother's car I thought...
 
So if the car wasn't titled in Daunte's name, how did they realize he had a warrant just buy the tag?

Potter is not looking good on the stand.
i guess it would depend on how the DMV there works. Here you can transfer it and get temp tags until you pay your sales tax. You then get a 30 day temp tag until you do.

You wouldn't believe how many expired temp tags I see on a daily basis here now! Everybody blaming it on covid, but I had no issue getting mine done, so I am not sure how they are using that as an excuse now. They obviously had enough to get the car in the first place with covid happening.
