Instead of moving, our Client placed her car in park, exited her vehicle and charged the police with clenched fists saying "Bitch, can't you see I'm doing something, I a'int fucking moving." Even when the police informed our Client that they were responding to a domestic battery victim, she replied "I don't give a fuck!" and refused to move. The Police asked for our Client's driver's license and insurance, and our Client was not able to produce either. The Police attempted to arrest our Client, and our Client resisted by balling up her fists again, pulling away and saying "Bitch, you wanna see who's bad?"
