Was he fatigued, upset, or something? I can't believe he could be that dumb.

Checklist for trying to get arrested:
Drive with Suspended license
Expired tags on vehicle (please stop me so you can catch me driving illegally)
Don't follow police instructions
Don't follow police instructions again

Well all things considered, it could have been for something much worse!

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Instead of suspicion of speeding, the ticket could have read: "Almost Certain Speeding" Whew, he dodged a bullet for sure!

Why was that not just a citation? I'm a cop and I VERY rarely arrest anyone for driving charges unless they were a total a-hole. Knoxville police must be ridiculous.

There has been a long standing feud between the Knoxville Police and the University of Tennessee football program for over 50 years following an incident where some football players pushed a police car into the river . They will arrest our football players whenever possible.

This is a bunch of BS. Some panty waisted cop got his ego bruised because Pearce didn't lick his boots. End of story.

There are specific situations that differ of course, but the older I've gotten the less respect I have for the justice system and law enforcement.

Actually, it may just be a lack of respect for people in general.

Didn’t follow police instructions is a broad stroke. Most new cops today wouldn’t have the credentials to wear the badge 20 years ago. The criteria has been minimized so we don’t have cops that really know the law and they are constantly giving unlawful commands in an attempt to pump their ego as if we must follow their every command because they’re cops. Ummm, no. Many of them should read the US Constitution every once in a while. Don’t get the wrong, there are a lot of good cops out there but not nearly as many as there once was so I’m not going to pass any judgement unless I’ve seen a full and unredacted video.

Suspicion of speeding and suspended license.

Please explain how is one found "suspicious " of speeding? That makes no sense. Seems every driver in America could get that charge.
Please don't interpret this as anything derogatory toward you and thanks for posting.

His major crime is what? Not following cop orders? Dumb.

I think the 33 mph over speed limit and suspended license (means no insurance) was what got him arrested.
I'm not calling for execution as many good people have done the same thing.
Someone needs to whisper in his ear, no valid license = drive real careful obeying all laws.

If you’re correct, it’s possible he simply couldn’t produce proof of insurance (insurance card) and was actually insured? So if he shows up in traffic court with proof of insurance, then the only charge would be speeding which again is a stupid reason to arrest someone. IMHO

According to the report, Pearce had to be told multiple times to turn off his vehicle and to step out of the vehicle. Police said they then explained to Pearce that his vehicle was being towed and asked if there was anything illegal inside or any personal property he needed. At that point, police said they instructed Pearce to stand at the front of the police car with assisting officers.

The officer said that as he went back to look in the front seat of Pearce's vehicle, Pearce began to walk back toward his vehicle and was detained by the assisting officers without incident. Pearce was then arrested and his vehicle impounded, the report said.

Pearce was transported to Knox County Detention Facility and charged with speeding, driving on a suspended license, failure to present insurance, registration not properly displayed and improper window tinting.
