smoliske 01/03/18 10:21:45 PM #1:	A Chicago man has been arrested after he was pulled over by Chicago police and allegedly showed the officer the "finger circle" when asked for his license and registration. Pablo Garcia, 23, was pulled over by Chicago police on Lake Shore Drive on New Year's eve afternoon for reportedly driving with his car's interior light on for too long. According to police, upon asking Pablo for his license and registration, Pablo allegedly reached into his pocket to pull out his wallet, but instead pulled his hand out to reveal the "finger circle", a very popular hand game that has no clear origin, and is played by making a circle with your thumb and index finger and then placed below the waist. If someone looks at the finger circle, you are allowed to hit that person or simply feel the pleasure of having tricked that person into looking at it. After showing the officer the finger circle, the officer allegedly punched Pablo in the face and pulled him from inside his vehicle and arrested him for obstruction. Pablo will reportedly spend New Year's day inside jail until his $5000 bail is paid. <cite>smoliske posted [p:893382847] in Man Arrest...

Pablo Garcia, 23, was pulled over by Chicago police on Lake Shore Drive on New Year's eve afternoon for reportedly driving with his car's interior light on for too long. I've literally never heard of someone being pulled over for having their interior light on for too long, much less on at all. First off, is that actually a law in Illinois? Secondly, how long, exactly, is "too long"? If there's no law in Illinois that says anything about interior lights, then the traffic stop is invalid and all charges would be thrown out. Furthermore, if an officer punched the guy in the face without issuing verbal commands to exit the vehicle, then that is assault. This story is beyond bizarre, and I can't help but feel that there's way more to it than what is reported.
