You got any weapons or any drugs in the car? >> No. Just a bunch of clothes. Mom, should I let them check my car? I mean, there's nothing in here, but you know I told you >> Ma'am, I So, I'm going to give you one chance right now. >> Mom, I don't know what to do. I don't >> I'm going to give you Listen, stop talking to your mother and listen to me. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Put the phone down. >> I'm going to give you one chance. What's your real name? >> I told you my name. >> On October 8th, 2025, a Franklin County, Ohio traffic stop for two equipment violations escalated into a multi-charge custodial arrest. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> I'm Deputy Lamgo with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Uh the reason why I stopped you is that you have no back license plate on your car at all. >> I'm sorry. >> And you also need a back windshield. >> Yeah. Yep, it just got knocked out and I literally the paper is back there. It's just plastic and it keeps falling off. >> Okay, you got your license on you? >> I do not. I was just grabbing my mom some Wendy's and going back home. >> I got you. You got You do have a license? >> Yes. >> You got any weapons or any drugs in the car? >> No. Just a bunch of clothes. >> A bunch of clothes? >> Yeah. >> Can you turn the car off for me? Car doing a whole lot of beeping and stuff. >> Oh. >> Sure. >> What's your name again? >> Hunt. >> Hunt? >> Yes. >> Go ahead and activate her. >> On October 8th, 2025, a Franklin County, Ohio traffic stop for two equipment violations became a multi-charge custodial arrest. Every charge was created by the driver. Two violations were directly observable at the moment of contact. No rear license plate in violation of Ohio Revised Code Section 4 503.21 and no rear windshield in violation of section 4 513.02. Under Wren versus United States, any observable traffic violations applies probable cause for a lawful stop regardless of officer motivation. The stop is legally valid before a single word is exchanged. >> All right, just hang tight. >> Where are you going to take her? >> Yep. >> Did she say why she jumped sprint into that gas station and then jumped back out? >> She hasn't said it. She She She probably knows. >> What's that? >> I said she knows. That she was she was avoiding us. >> Where are you going to take her to get her? >> I'm going to talk to her for a minute while you're doing this. Did she pop? >> I haven't >> Oh, okay. >> I was just You got to navigate through the screen. >> Yeah, yeah. >> It don't pop up. >> I was just waiting and he ran my things. He's looking through the car. Just looking around. But you know all my clothes and stuff is in here. >> Huh? >> So, where are you coming from tonight? >> You my mom's house. >> Where's that? >> On Highland. >> On Highland? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> All right. And where are you going to? >> I was going to Rally's cuz the one that's on Mount is closed. I was going to go to the one on Georgia's Ville and grab us some food and head back home. >> Oh, okay. All right. Um why'd you pull into the BP? >> I needed gas. >> You needed gas? How much gas did you get? >> Um none cuz when I scanned my card it wouldn't work. So, I was just like I'll make it back. I was just trying to get gas cuz that's the closest one that's normally open. >> Okay. All right. All right. And there's nothing illegal in this car at all? >> No. >> Okay. All right. All right. Um would you have any problem with us checking the car? >> Why would y'all want to check my car? I just want to know why y'all want to check it. >> I'm just asking cuz like my training experience usually if somebody sees us and then ducks right into a gas station and then the moment we leave >> See you. >> Okay. Um the and then the moment that we go out of sight that person starts driving again, it's usually an indicator that they're trying to avoid us. So, I'm just I'm curious what's going on. Um have you ever been arrested before? >> No. >> No? Never for anything ever? >> No. >> Okay. All right. Yeah. So. >> There's a lot of stuff in here. I don't You mom, should I let them check my car? I mean, there's nothing in here, but you know, I just started driving this one again cuz the other one stopped. So, I don't Yeah. I have a lot of stuff in here though cuz I just moved a lot. >> on the move and all that stuff is still in there. >> But it's like I'm not I don't want to feel like I'm hiding anything, but I just also don't want them just ransacking through my car either. >> I was going to what are they going to go through? >> But he said just because I >> I didn't say specifically what I'm looking for is guns and drugs. >> Oh, guns and drugs? Then no, I ain't got I just don't I don't know. I don't know. I've never had that question asked. I've always been told to just go like Yeah. Yeah, I don't >> Would you have any concerns about guns or drugs Have you been in this vehicle before? Do you Do you associate with people who use either? >> No. It's not that. It's just like I was just telling my mom, I have a lot of stuff in here from moving in general like >> Well, I mean it's it's totally up to you. I'm I'm not going to like >> I just don't want you to think I'm hiding something. I don't want to say no and then it I'll be in trouble, but I don't want to say yes. >> You're not going to be in trouble if you You're not going to be in trouble if you say no. It's your constitutional right to say no. >> I would I don't know but I just don't want to tell you. If I don't know my god, I just want to eat. >> It's It's totally up to you. >> I've never had a good experience with what I've heard about cops going through cars. >> Huh? >> I mean I would think >> Deputy Lambert explicitly advised the driver of the right to refuse consent and advisement not constitutionally required. Under Schneckloth versus Bustamonte, consent is valid only when given voluntarily under the totality of the circumstances. The driver refused and the refusal was accepted without pressure. The deputies deployed K9 unit 6 while registration and identity checks were still in progress. Under Rodriguez versus United States, the sniff was concurrent with the lawful mission, not an extension of it. Under Illinois versus Caballes, a free air sniff during a lawful stop does not implicate the Fourth Amendment. The order to exit the vehicle is separately authorized by Pennsylvania versus Mimms without individualized suspicion beyond the stop itself. >> So I tried asking her about searching the car and she got weird about it and she was like, uh, and she's on the phone with her mom. She's like, "Should I say yes or no?" You know, "I don't want to act like I'm hiding anything, but you know, I don't know what they're looking for and I just started driving this car." And I was like, "Do you associate with people who have guns or drugs?" And she was like, "No." I was like, "Have you ever been arrested before?" She said, "No." >> She's seeming pretty clean. But I'm going to go get that VIN number, we'll be good. >> We got K96 here, you want to sniff or not? You want one? Okay. I would assume that that's probably a good indicator that was even if she's even if she's not she's worried about it. Yeah, you can tell. Oh. Is it thing to be quite still? Broken? I don't know what the word would be. I don't know what the word would be if it's going to be like it is or rain and hopefully not. Probably not there but is that the back pool? Probably, she said there's one back there. >> Quite old. But, she says she's Uh yeah, I think I figured by the fact that it has a T on it. >> There's a like a liquor bottle. I'm not getting any indicators of intoxication though from her. >> I didn't smell it. >> She's not slurring her words. Like there's nothing to make me think that she's intoxicated. >> That Yeah, that's that's also an option. Negative, thank you. She's got a speeding ticket. >> Welcome. >> I would also assume that she's probably got marijuana in the car. >> Yeah, oh yeah. >> I would I would reasonably believe that the bottle on the floor is recent simply because if you look number one she has shoes on that you would probably go to a club in. She has a jacket as well. She also has her eyelashes on. So, I find it hard to believe that she was at the house hanging out, going to rallies and just wanted to get gas. She's dressed up as if she was probably at a bar or had been drinking. So. There's also a lot There's a marijuana shaped um ashtray on the floor that >> I saw that in there. >> passenger door. So, I would guess that she's probably nervous based on what it has in it. I can see the bottle before we >> I'm not sure that's her. Can we get a Let's see. >> Either way, it was I saw the bottle. >> Ain't no way. Hey, is this her? I don't think so. >> I don't think so, either. >> You want to say he's been talking to you? >> I don't know. She's got a lot of makeup on. It doesn't look like her, but >> These might be the ones that squeak. >> Go ask her did she just give you the social and that's it? >> me her social and her name. Is it When you ran the When you ran the car, is it supposed to be registered to her? >> Allegedly. Buddy, I haven't touched this cab. >> Well, that's what I'm wondering is if she's saying she told Sarge it was in his presence said that she's trying to get the registration switched over to her. If it's registered allegedly to her, if that's switches the same, then we know she just gave you the sister's info. >> Yeah, it comes back to the name on it. So, she probably gave sis sister's name. >> The investigation shifted when a prescription bearing the name Desiree was found. While the driver had provided a different name, and the registration confirmed the mismatch. The deputies now had documented grounds to believe a false identity had been supplied. Ohio Revised Code Section 2921.13 defines falsification as a knowing false statement made with purpose to mislead a public official. The driver supplied her sister's identity by design as her own later admission confirmed. Every element is satisfied. The Fifth Amendment protects the right to remain silent, but it does not protect affirmative false statements. The driver was never compelled to speak, and no custodial interrogation issue arises because she was not yet under arrest. She chose to speak and chose to fabricate. Sustaining the false identity through repeated confrontation moves the conduct into Ohio Revised Code Section 2921.31 obstruction of official business. The statute requires an affirmative act without privilege that hampers an officer's lawful duties. Maintaining a false identity after being confronted with a mismatch, a matching prescription, and a photograph comparison satisfies the statute independently. >> Yeah. >> Confronted with it. Oh, for [ __ ] sake. Um >> I'm asleep. >> This is her >> car. Um we're trying to get stuff switched over to be now. >> Hm. >> I have my work badge in here. >> You ain't got no work badge in here or nothing? I don't think so. Ma'am, go ahead and step out of the car for me. Hang up that phone. >> Um Mom, they want me to hang up the phone, but I don't want to hang up the phone. >> Hello, ma'am. Ma'am, I So, I'm going to give you one chance right now. >> Ma'am, I don't know what to do. I don't >> I'm going to give you Listen, stop talking to your mother and listen to me. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Put the phone down. I'm going to give you one chance. What's your real name? >> I told you my name. >> So, what is your name? Tell me. Right. That's your name. >> Yes. >> That's who you are. >> Yes. >> Okay. Is this car registered in your name? >> No, it is not. It's my little sister's. >> Okay. Then why is the car coming up registered in the name you >> My name It shouldn't come up registered in the name It should come up registered under the name Desiree. This is my sister's car. I'm trying to get it transferred over to me. >> Okay. Go ahead and step to the front of the car right over here. Mhm. >> This is why I don't like driving this one. I would have just drove the truck. >> Hey, uh It's got a weed [ __ ] emblem on it. Mhm. And there is liquid missing from >> Like everything in this I'm like I'm still here, but that's what I'm saying. Everything in here is deadly. Like I I drank half of the things cuz I couldn't drive the car. >> Well, she's got a warrant. We can just take her on the warrant. >> No, I'm not. >> The bags are interesting, too. That's a lot of bags. >> I'm And I didn't bring the I should have brought the truck. I'm going so across from that kid there. Yeah. Yeah. >> when you passed the Doritos or dinner mints. >> Yeah. I think the safe place confirmed the warrant. >> Yeah. Uh yeah, I would That's >> And they'll fingerprint her there. >> Yeah. >> I don't know what I'm doing all the time. >> If she If she gets in the back of the car, she needs to give up her phone. >> Yeah. >> Oh, I have >> At this point, I'm thinking that we could take her, >> Just do the warrant. >> Go ahead and Right over here? Step over here. Yep. Go ahead and confirm it. Um scratch out the site for failure to display and no safety glass. And we'll do it that way. Yep. Ma'am? >> Yes. >> So, are you aware that you have a warrant? >> Who has a warrant? >> I don't know. Tell me who. Are you >> Yes, I am. >> Is that your name? >> Yes. >> Okay, then you you possibly have a warrant for your arrest. >> For what? >> Some kind of traffic citation you didn't pay. >> The only ticket I've ever gotten was on High Street. And it was a little ticket in the dash thing, and I paid that. >> We're we're confirming it right now. But, the photo of you that we have on record does not look anything like you. >> Didn't I just tell you that? Like, it's because I've been depressed. I lose weight. Like, I normally I have double chin and all. Like, I could take my contacts out, a wig off, my lashes. I'm the exact same person. I'm just not fat anymore. >> Also, there's some kind of There's some kind of THC drink in your in your car in the door. Yeah, what's that about? >> I told you or I didn't tell you, I told your partner I was moving everything from my old house to my mom's house. So, everything in both of our cars is just packed. There's just stuff everywhere. There's an ashtray on the front floor, and there's just a lot of stuff. >> Okay. >> But, that bottle should be empty. >> So, have you had any of that THC liquid tonight? >> No. >> Okay. Why are you moving Why are you moving an empty bottle? Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Why do you put it right within reach if you're moving? >> Yeah. >> And it's trash. I usually put my trash on the passenger floor and then clean it up eventually if I have time to do it, but why would I retain it? If you're moving >> I could do SVS 2's, but I don't know if that's going to find anything. >> Yeah, I >> Dude, I I don't know. >> I thought pretty cool. >> Her story about losing weight might be true, but doesn't that look She's got that scar right there. See Can you see if she's got that scar on her eyebrow? >> Yeah, hold on. >> Turn that bright as possible on that. In the eyebrow? >> Scar? What Where at? >> Right eyebrow. I could have sworn >> Her right one? Her right eyebrow. >> [music] >> She's about to go to jail for failure to identify. >> Is that her sister? >> This is Desiree that we're looking at right now. >> Okay, so on her right eyebrow, it looked like it's cut. Did you see that, Kenny? >> What's up? I'm sorry. >> Did you see her eyebrow? >> Yeah, it's got It's got the line in it like that does. Well, we're going to go back to the other sister. I'm just trying to see. I don't think it is, either. >> And guess what? She don't want to got the warrant. >> She's also got leads alerts, though. >> There's no There's no listing for scars, marks, tattoos. >> I didn't see anything. >> On the warrant on Is it on leads? Well, let's try and navigate this [ __ ] Um >> I think he's lying. >> I think so, too. >> I think so, too, but Well, she gave her sister's information. Well, she >> Well, she gave her sister's information then said she was trying to transfer it over from her sister. And the car was registered to you. And she's like, "No, it should be it's" Yeah. You ran the VIN, it comes back to you, Nick. >> I looked Oh, okay, you did. >> Yeah, I looked. I hate it when people do this because it becomes such a problem, especially when it's like a sister. It becomes such a problem identifying. And she's got no arrest record. She's just lying about a warrant. We're going to inventory one way or another, the car's going. It's either she's kicking and has a warrant or she's Desirae and has a warrant, but either way, she has a warrant. >> Well, >> I also don't think Desirae has a driver's license. >> Hey, hold up for a second. Just 1 second. Desirae don't have a driver's license, does she? >> She's suspended. >> She is suspended. >> 415. >> Yep, there we go. >> Ohio Revised Code Section 2923.12 imposes an affirmative duty to notify any approaching officer of a concealed firearm at the moment of contact, not at discovery. Lambert asked directly whether any weapons were in the vehicle. The driver said no. A direct denial transforms a regulatory omission into evidence of concealment. The concealed weapon charge survives independently of every other count and would stand even if every other charge were dismissed. The active warrant confirmed during the stop provides a completely independent ground for custodial arrest. Even with a truthful identity and proper firearm disclosure, a custodial arrest was inevitable. >> Yep. Hey, we're good. >> Is it there? >> Yeah. >> That's for her, I'm guessing. So, that's Desiree's prescription, right there? Put your hands behind your back. >> And he told me to put my hands behind my back. >> Just like you're praying. Nothing in this coat? >> No, you just just gave it to me. >> Okay. Walk over here. >> I'm walking away from my phone. I don't know what's going on. >> All right, Desiree. Now's the time to come clean. Go ahead and take a seat. All right, here's your options. Hey, there's a 40. 40 foot? Yeah. What? So, what's your real name? Okay. Okay, is that's the story you're going to stick with? >> Why do you guys keep asking for my sister's >> listen. Either way, >> My mom's on the phone. >> Listen, listen to me. Either way, your sister she has a warrant and Desiree has a warrant. I got reason I got reasons to believe that you are Desiree and you are driving with a suspended license and all you had to do was say so. It would have been a ticket and you would have It would have That would have been the end of it. >> We we don't typically Yeah, it would It's just traffic stuff, yeah, but now because you've been lying to us, you you got additional charges. >> So, so here's your options. You're going to have multiple additional charges or you can just tell me your real name. Cuz right now I got you on obstruction, falsification, and failure to provide. Or you can just give me your real name and you can just take obstruction. >> What is that? >> That you delayed our investigation. And all you had to do from the very beginning was tell me your right name and that would have been the end of it. You would have just got a driving under suspension ticket. >> Why would I get a driving under suspension ticket? >> Because you are suspended. >> That's literally not Oh my god, this is really irritating me. This is why I told her we shouldn't do this. >> Yeah, everything in the car is Desiree. She >> This is literally why I told her we shouldn't do this. >> So, you are Desiree? >> Yes, but my sister said as long as I'm driving her car because it's not switched over yet to tell them that I'm her. >> Okay, Desiree. That's it. Just uh Just Just >> And my license aren't suspended. I literally >> It said your is suspended for my accident, but that's beyond the point. Just Just be aware Just listen to me. Listen to me. Just be aware that for for the future, we do have means to see who people are. We have pictures. And I knew immediately Okay, just start telling the truth. So, you >> It wasn't She said as long as I'm driving HER CAR THAT I need to tell them that >> And And And on Another thing, too, that firearm in the car. >> That's mine. >> Yeah, I I asked you I asked you, "Do you have any guns or anything in the car?" You said, "No." >> I don't have My purse is in >> All right, go ahead and kick your feet. >> My purse is in the car, and I I know I'm going to get in trouble. Like, what the >> Deputy Lambert in the Franklin County Sheriff's Office receive an A-. Lawful predication, explicit right to refuse advisement. K9 deployment within the Rodriguez window, and methodical identity verification before arrest. The deduction reflects informal inter-deputy commentary on active body cam that fell below professional standards. The driver receives a D. She correctly refused consent to search, the one legally sound decision in this encounter. Every subsequent charge arose from her own sequential choices, a sustained false identity, a direct denial of a firearm in a license under an active warrant. The Fifth Amendment offered a complete shield. She did not use it. Three lessons emerge. First, the right to remain silent and any right to lie are entirely distinct. Silence carries no criminal liability. A false answer creates criminal exposure that did not exist before the question was asked. Second, Ohio's duty to notify of a concealed firearm, attaches at the moment of law enforcement contact, not at discovery. Waiting for an officer to find the weapon is not compliance. Denial when directly asked is a criminal act. Third, advising a citizen of the right to refuse consent is not legally required, but it is the most effective protection against suppression motions in any subsequent proceeding. One sentence on the front end eliminates an entire category of litigation. Let us know if there is an interaction or legal topic that you would like us to discuss in the comments below.
