The lady explained that she had slowed down and activated her hazard lights as soon as she saw the police car approaching because she thought it would be safer to wait until the exit. The officer said to her through the wrecked car window, “Well, this is where you ended up.” You stop when the police tell you to.
It would appear that the woman was following the Facebook page for the Arkansas State Police to the letter. The Arkansas Times reported on November 19 that the state police were willing to change their policy regarding the PIT manoeuvre as part of a settlement to avoid a lawsuit.
Read the Tweets by people who showed their concern for that pregnant lady:
A cop flipped over a pregnant woman's car because she didn't pull over quick enough.
Not only is what she did not wrong, it's what you're supposed to do: turning on hazards to indicate you're complying and pulling over at the next safe place to do so…

She did not slow down, she continued at the speed of traffic; that is not how you "indicate" you are attempting to pull over.

The state troopers comment regarded the use of PIT maneuvers involving fleeing drivers. She wasn't fleeing, she slowed down and turned on her hazard lights.
