This is a difficult movie to watch. I think it does a great job of exposing both sides, the racist perspective from the officer during the drive from the parking lot to the jail and the perspective from the young woman who completely mishandled a simple traffic stop. She says that she got caught speeding so "give me the ticket and let me move on" but she didn't act that way during the stop. All she had to do was stay in her car, get the ticket, and none of this would have happened.
