it's up to him I don't have any control
of whatever he does he can do whatever
he wants to do with that okay so the the
first thing we need is a driver's
license proof of insurance okay but I
don't want to I don't want to give you
this well you have to it's required by
the state of Illinois yeah but prove me
that I'm wrong that comes after I first
need to identify you that comes after
when you get stopped by the police
you're required to provide proof of
insurance no I'm not yes you are yeah
I'm not you required to prove me that
I'm wrong that is inaccurate but I will
after I what id you what do you mean
after I say the first thing that I need
to do is figure out who you are I need
to make sure you have a valid driver's
license I don't need to prove you who
I'm at sir yes you do no I'm not this is
a traffic stop is it not
yeah but what is the reason for this
traffic sir I've explained it now
multiple times yeah speeding so you
didn't stop at a stop sign where is the
and you didn't make a left turn where is
the proof of that it's all on camera
where is the camera I want to see the
camera I can't show you the camera right
now that comes later show you the my
documents you're required to show me the
documents yeah but I'm not okay if you
don't show me the documents that's a
different charge what is a different
Char do do you want to get another
charge besides a speeding ticket right
now it's just we're talking about speed
I want to see the proof that I'm wrong
that you're wrong I don't think so okay
well when you go to court you can get
all the proof you need but we're not
going to do that right now on the street
okay my hands are out I appreciate that
I still need a driver's license and
proof of insurance I need to prove that
I'm wrong okay listen up listen okay if
you don't do what you're doing you're
going to be placed under arrest for
obstructing justice okay they're going
to go to jail and they're going to pay
$100 to get out of jail on top of $250
or another $100 the traffic violation so
you have two choices listen to me you
have two choices for obstructing justice
that's what you're doing right now
you're required Tennessee versus or uh
Pennsylvania versus Ms provide your
driver's license and insurance okay so
you need to do that right now or you're
going to be placed under arrest or
obstruc okay I want to record this so
with that being said are you going to
give out your driver's license right now
or you going to be placed under arrest
or obstructing justice for what reason
okay cuz you're required to as this
officer told you for what reason okay
step out of the car don't know for what
reason on step out of the car you wanted
to step out so come on out so for what
reason because we told you to and that's
an order and then for what I asked you
for your driver's license and proof of
insurance but for what for the traffic
stop for speeding for not stopping at a
stop sign up to you at this can you
prove me the traffic stop it is up to
you at this point you can walk away with
a speeding ticket right now and not pay
any money or you can go to class A
misdemeanor and be arrested for
obstructing justice and go to the
station it's up to you okay we're going
to give you that choice right now but
we're not going to play we don't have to
do that right now no you that's up to
court it's up to court do that no you
have to do it get out of the car you
have to do it get out of the car no you
have to do it so here's what's going to
happen I'm going to place my hands on
you I'm going to pull you out of the car
and now you're going to catch a charge
for resisting as well if you pull away
from me do you understand that so step
out of the
car step out of the car
now all right well we're going to give
him another couple seconds here and
we're going to put our hands on him and
then we're going to pull him out and if
you do resist you're going to be tazed
okay you can record all you want guess
what we're recording too this is all
this going all be off for you for court
let me ask sir sir why don't you want to
get out of the car let me ask you
something if I get out of the cup what's
going to happen I'm going to talk to you
about why I stopped you are you going to
handcuff me if you comply we don't have
to handcuff you okay let me get out okay
excellent but you guys make sure don't
touch me that's fine we don't we don't
want to touch you I you guys going to
tou here's the thing no we're not going
to touch you you give us your driver's
license we're going to be out of your
hair and we're going to leave careful on
the camera yep step around to the back
of the car for us you can keep the phone
on you that's fine you can step right
over there what what's going on I
stopped you because you were speeding
you didn't make a stop at Burning Bush
and Old Willow when you turned left into
the apartment complex you didn't use a
turn signal three different moving
violations I didn't do this okay that's
fine but you get to have your side of
things in court right now you have to
identify yourself that's required by the
state of Illinois and what's next after
that you get most likely a citation once
you get the CIT you get a court date the
court date is probably not for a month
so you tell me I'm speeding right
correct but I didn't sped him that's
fine that's your opinion so how are we
going to like you get to tell that to a
judge later not right now right now you
have to identify yourself all drivers in
the state of Illinois are required to
provide proof of insurance and a valid
driver's license guys I'm Not Dangerous
I mean don't just come around me like
that that's fine I'm not dangerous Do
you have a a driver's license with you
yeah I have is it on you now no it's in
like good okay thank you this is much
easier right I appreciate that okay no I
don't want any trouble but now you guys
stopping me like you're speeding you're
passing stop sign and you turning left
without the any lights I don't I don't
think so I mean that's fine like I said
there's a lot of more criminals than me
and you guys just stressing me out right
now traffic violation doesn't make you a
criminal okay you're not a but you just
stressing me out all you got to do is
give us your driver's license we're
going to be done but for what for what
reason we've already told you that we're
not going to keep going but I want a
proof of that you know that's for court
and I that's for court what do you mean
that's for court when you get a citation
that you disagree with they ask for
proof that that's my that's my right I
mean I know my rights you know I I
understand that but the way it works you
can't just pull me over and say you
you're doing this you're doing that you
you know that's not right I mean that's
your I respect you guys police officers
I respect you I like you guys I
understand that you don't dis that you
don't understand the process but when
you get accused of a crime you don't get
to make your case on the street you have
to present that to a judge so if I give
you my license right now what's going to
happen then I'm going to make sure that
you have a valid driver's license and
then and if after that's the case you're
going to get a citation for the the
speeding and then when you go to court
can you prove to me that I'm speeding
when I go to court you're you're going
to get to present your evidence to the
judge I'll present mine and the judge
will make a decision it doesn't get made
here it gets made on your court dat look
you you you you can say now whatever you
want and then when I go to the I say the
things that I'm saying are based off
what I observed okay do you have it on
camera it's all on camera I don't think
so then when I when we go to court if
it's not on camera then that's what the
judge is going to be basing everything
off of okay it's not just my word what
if I didn't if I didn't give you my with
this guy all night done with this okay
what do you want to do your driver's
license is in the car yeah what's your
first name I don't answer any questions
okay can I get your driver's license out
of your vehicle no where is it in the
car I don't ask any questions okay like
I said when we first started all this
unless you give me the driver's license
that's a different charge you have to
give that to me and if you don't then
you're going to get charged with
something else right now it's just
speeding very low level I I don't have
to do nothing with you guys okay I mean
