It's 805. >> Why do Why are you Why did you do all this? >> I don't know why you're doing this. I was trying to talk to you like human to human. And then you're acting like I'm some kind of dangerous person. >> Okay. >> Why are you doing this? >> What's your name? >> What? My name is Julie. And why are you doing this? Why did you do it? >> Why did you do this? >> You didn't stop when the cops are behind you. >> You don't I know, but what's going on? What have I done? >> You didn't have your seatelt on. That's the whole premise for the stop. >> But you're violating my >> Keep turning around. >> Why can't I look at you? >> Because I don't want you to turn around. Stop. >> I thought we were talking. I like >> Okay, we're not talking right now. I'm done talking. Stop. >> Human and so are you. >> Okay, stop. >> Do you Are you afraid of me or >> No, I'm not afraid of you. You just You've been non-compliant from the getgo. >> What? You're not non-compliant to what? To you violating my human right to to live. Like what? I don't get it. >> I I didn't have my seatelt and then you're going to mess up my day. I have people waiting on me. >> Ow, that hurts. Did you call my my ex so that he can get There's a baby in the car. >> I know. >> We'll deal with that in just a second. >> No, please do not put me in there until I know she's safe. >> She's going to be >> You wonder why I'm acting this way when there's a child with me. >> She's going to be completely safe. Can >> you guys please make I need to hear that you're calling. It's a child. He won't let me make sure that the child is okay. >> All right. The child is >> That's all I want is for him. >> Have a seat. >> Get your feet in. >> I just want to make sure that she's going to be okay. Please. >> I'm a person. >> You smell weed? >> I can smell a little bit. Yeah. All right. >> Dude, I Oh, yeah. I can smell. >> Yeah. >> I don't want to >> I got your uncle coming. Okay. Okay. >> Chris. Uncle Chris. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I'm trying to kind of >> Hey, ask her what her name is. >> No, her mom. Her her aunts. Dude, there's really no reason for her not to stop. Hey, she is this medical thing, too. Says to And it has her name on it, too. She's got to be high. This feels kind of heavy to be just that. Feel that? >> Yes, sir. >> Is she being like, how is she? >> Uh, she's acting. I I I'm not the one that stopped her. It's the uncle. But she was acting a little erratic when uh we brought her back to my car. >> Well, she she has she she's not always had to come in her a few times. >> Okay. >> So, just you know, she's sometimes not the person she should be. >> I got you. Um, she probably let you know that. You can probably tell by looking at her. >> I gota >> So, say no. You know, um, but we're on our way back over there. >> Okay. >> You should be there in like 10 minutes. >> All right. Yeah, no problem. We'll be here. All right. Julie. >> Yes. >> My name is Sergeant Musgrove. >> So, I'm with the sheriff's office. The reason I was stopping you is for two reasons. One is you did not have a seatelt on. Two is your registration is expired. All right. When the police turn on their lights and sirens behind you, you're required to stop by law. >> By law. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> And you failed to do so. >> Right. >> You clearly saw me behind you. >> Yes. >> I saw you even look over to your left at me. >> Yes. >> And completely disobey stopping me. And you even told your niece that you just didn't want to stop. that the cops can't make you stop. >> Well, it's true because if you if you think about Listen, this is my line of thinking. If you really want to know why, first of all, I know my registration is out. And I also know that a lot of other things why I couldn't stop and that you guys are cops and you're going to obey the law to the tea whether or not it violates another person's rights. So, I know all that and I was trying to decide what do I do here because, you know, I'm about to take a trip and I don't know where I'm going to reregister my car and I just don't know what kind of a person you are. And so, the truth is that my heart's conviction human being to human being is that just because somebody tells you you have power over my body doesn't mean that you do. Okay? So, I have that and then I have life and I have a child. And so, of course, in the moment, I'm trying to assess what is the right move here. and I didn't pull over. I think that you went overboard, but I understand why. I understand why you do what you need to do. This is your job and this is what you committed to doing. >> You know, if you would have stopped, you would have just gotten a ticket at most. >> I probably could have chatted my way out of it, but I didn't. >> At most, you would have got at most would have gotten a ticket for a seat belt and a warning for an expired tag. Probably at most, >> right? >> But you chose otherwise. And for and for every >> action there's a reaction, just so you know. So today you're going to go to jail. Tell her to stop. >> I stopped. >> You didn't stop when you >> I actually stopped willingly. So how is that? >> You stopped more than a mile away. >> But I still stopped in a very safe neighborhood. >> And you told your niece that you didn't feel like stopping. >> Well, because I didn't. And that is a true statement. But I did stop. And we can express our feelings without getting punished for it. Right. >> Well, you're going to jail today on a felony for failure to stop. Okay. >> And you get you feel good about that. Human to human. >> No, I don't. But you made >> You're making the choice. You made the choice >> and you are too. >> Okay. >> Because human to human, you understand God's law. >> I uphold the law of the state of Florida. I sworn to uphold the laws of the state of Florida. >> Do you believe it's a violation of human rights to give somebody a ticket for not wearing a seat belt? >> So you elect state legislators in the state of Florida, right? >> No, >> you don't. >> No, because I actually >> Well, you live in the state of Florida, right? I do. >> Okay. So the state the state legislators are who make the laws. I understand that. I understand. But there's going to come a time soon where we say we're not going to just let other people tell us what it is to be human and live. Okay? >> And that we have to keep playing these games that get us locked up in jail with the danger. >> Unfortunately, Unfortunately, in the state of Florida, that will probably not happen, >> right? Well, I think eventually it could. I'm just living in hope and I'll I'll deal with what you want to dish out to me because you are choosing also. You see what kind of a person I am. You understand your choice. I did make your choice. I did make my choice. >> All right. >> So, where's Chris? >> He's He's coming. >> And we're not leaving till he's here. >> No, absolutely not. >> Wallet and stuff like that. >> Is my phone in there? >> Yep. >> All right. Julie, what's your physical address? >> I really don't have one right now because I'm in transition. I just moved out of my apartment. I got an RV and I'm about to hit the road. So, that's another reason why I haven't really I think I'm selling that car until everything is up in the air. So, I don't know. What do you want me to give you? Where's your head headrest? Like where are you and Kelly going to sleep at tonight? >> In my RV, but I'm just on a friend's property. So, >> where's that at? >> It's here in Englewood. >> Okay. Where's the address? >> Well, I'm I worry about giving his address away. I don't know. What if I give you I I just I don't really have a a home address at the moment because I literally might up April at the end of April. So, >> this weekend. >> Yeah. I've just I'm just in a transition period and I don't have you know a lot of things are obviously not tied down the way the law wants me to be right now.
