Cruel or Unusual Punishment

If you are stop for a speeding ticket, or for not making a stop at a stop sign, and you get a cuel punishment from the cops. You know you can be protected by the 8th amendment of the U.S Constitution. This don't happen very offten with this type of situation, but it could happen another case. For example I think that executions should be cancel by the U.S government, because there are cases where states would execute innocent people and thats a crime comitted by the states. It is a good think that Americans are protected by the 8th mendment, this will limit the power of any government people or officials.
