How should you react when a traffic officer tells you to do something which ordinarily is considered to be against the law?

When a traffic officer tells you to do something ordinarily against the law, you do it. In a bad traffic jam, he may tell you to go through a red light. The officers want to get rid of the jam. If a gas main breaks, they want to route traffic around the danger and send traffic the wrong way on a one way street. You go where they send you. You do not want to go where you might get blown up. There are times when there are emergencies and the normal rules can not apply. The officers will be glad when the emergency is over and it is possible to resume normal operations.In a temporary traffic devolved situation, you follo wthe officer's orders and directions. (e.g.: If, in order to avoid an accident scene you are directed to drive on the wrong side of the roadway - you do it. BUT - not to the point where EVERY TIME you come upon an accident scene you feel empowered to drive on the wrong side of the road just because some officer told you to do it at some time in the past.) You must obey traffic officer at all times no matter what.Always obey the traffic officerIt is entirely dependent on the instructions. For example, if the officer tells you make an immediate U-turn where no U-turns are permitted and drive down the wrong side of the road so he can clear the lane for incoming emergency vehicles - then you are required to comply; if the officer tells you pick up a stick and poke out somebody's eye, then you are not required to perform the task.

Is it possible to get a restraining order against the police?

If a police officer is acting in his official capacity, you cannot put a restraining order on him. If, for example, an officer is investigating you for something, you cannot stop him from investigating. If you feel an officer is violating your rights in his official capacity, the best thing to do is go to the officer's supervisor and try to resolve the problem. When an officer is not acting in his official capacity, like he's your neighbor and is bothering you, then you can get a restraining order against him. Remember, when not acting as an officer, he is just a private citizen; just like you.

How do you report an unethical police officer?

Contact City Hall or the police department within your hometown and request a police misconduct form. Fill it out and return it. If you do this, it's always wise to make sure your allegations can be proved and that it's not something that could be considered petty. Otherwise it may give the impression that you have a vendetta against the officer, therefore any future complaints may not be taken seriously.
