The white house seeking credit said al qaeda is less of a threat because it has been des mateded by the obama drone war, but despite administration efforts, eyes is is looking like a winner, syria, iraq and online online. The latest terrorist tragedy in our country, chattanooga, the government has not said the gunman killed in the shootout was, in fact, influenced by eyes circumstance the assumption of many and you look at what happened just since may, before and even after the alert, the terrorist alert, focused on the fourth of july.

Well, a critic says thats kind of the lag to bang problem the administration has, meaning they see a flash and then in a while, you heart bang. Today, the bang. They say this is a problem.

She is the woman who died in a texas jail cell last week, three days after a Police Officer arrested her during this traffic stop. Bland was found hanging in her jail cell last week. Moments ago, prosecutors confirmed that it was a suicide. They said they based that conclusion on physical evidence. The only injury which was present on her neck or head was whats called a ligature furrow or a ligature mark. This is consistent with a suicide, according to the Harris County institute of forensic science. A texas tv station, meanwhile, says it obtained a voicemail from a call bland made from jail. In it, she told a friend that she couldnt believe what was happening to her. You know, that case has a lot of you wondering what rights do you have when an officer pulls you over. News4s Meagan Fitzgerald is along connecticut avenue in northwest d. C. And she has been looking into this. Meagan . Reporter legal experts say it is very important for drivers to know their legal rights when they are stopped by an officer during a traffic stop but also say its important that both the officer and the driver do what they can to try and deescalate a situation. Now, we according to the aclu, if a Police Officer pulls you over, its not illegal to do things like smoke a cigarette in your car, have a radio on at a low level or even eat a sandwich in the middle of a traffic stop, however, they say just because you can do it doesnt mean you should. If an officer asks you to step out of your car, legal experts say you must comply. But an officer has to have probable cause to search your vehicle, unless the driver gives their concept. Monica hopkins maxwell with the aclu says to avoid confrontation with the police, both the officer and the driver have a part to play. I think that there is, you know, respect that has to happen on both sides. It is an unbridled level of authority and i think its the constitution that keeps that in check. Reporter maxwell says if you feel your rights were violated, she recommends getting the badge number and the name of the officer and filing a complaint with the department. She says you can take legal action if necessary, but she says what you dont want to do is to try to pick a fight or argue a battle in the street with an officer. Most cases, you dont win that fight and its certainly not one they recommend you pick. Now, coming up at 5 00, we talk to the fraternal order of police, the president of that organization. He takes a look at the video with us and gives us his professional opinion on how everything played out. Back to you. Meagan fitzgerald, thanks very much.
