A gold sedan rolls through a stop sign leaving a convenience store lot. What starts as a routine pullover turns into handcuffs in under a minute. >> Give me your information. Huh? You have a deputy. I'm standing in front of you. Step out of the vehicle. Do you have your information? >> I don't need to give it to you. >> Yes, yes, you do. Why would you not? Okay, step to the front of my car.

He did a U-turn on me and I was at a full a full stop. >> Hey. >> I was at a full stop. He's hurting me. >> He is not hurting you. >> Okay. Bro, I didn't do anything. >> You're not listening. >> I didn't do anything. >> Stand still. It won't come out now. >> That's all right. >> Deputy Baker. >> Hey. >> Deputy Baker, it's Miranda. He literally just He stopped me for no reason. I came to a complete stop. He made a U-turn. >> Calm down. >> And then I came out and he tried to put his hands on me. >> All right. >> As a woman. >> Cooperate. >> I'm cooperating and then he tried to put ME TO THE GROUND. >> OKAY. >> I PROMISE YOU, Deputy Baker. >> Take a breath. >> I'm trying to take a deep breath. >> Hey, you're not cooperating. >> I'm not cooperating. He tried to put his hands on me from the get-go. >> Hey, just relax. >> He did. >> Let's go ahead. >> I swear on my on my life. >> All right. Resisting now is not going to help. >> I'm not resisting. >> You're all balled up. >> I because he hurt me from the get-go. He told me what WHAT WHAT I IDENTIFY AS. I'm not a female and he's a male. He was like, "How do you know what I identify as?" >> Calm down. Hey, do you have any needles or anything on you that's going to poke us? Listen. >> It's an easy question. Do you have >> Listen. Do you have anything on you that's going to hurt anybody? >> Deputy Baker. I swear on my life I didn't do nothing wrong. >> Answer the question. >> HE'S SITTING IN HIS own feelings. I didn't do anything. >> I'm going to try to help. >> I didn't do anything. I swear it on my life. I WAS SITTING AT THE YELLOW LIGHT. I WAITED FOR HIM TO STOP AND I CAME AFTER HIM AND HE MADE A U-TURN ON ME. >> Calm down. >> I AM CALM AND HE HURT MY FEELINGS AND HE UPSET ME and then he put me up I didn't even say [ __ ] I came out and I'm like, "No, I refuse." Because he was being mean to me. No, you're wrong and you know it. >> That's fine. I've been wrong before. >> You've been wrong before. >> I know I have. >> I know you have, but I know him. >> Okay. >> I know him faithfully and you hurt me. You put your hands on me. >> I'm Daphne Tomlinson. >> No, but you put your hands on me. >> I know, because you didn't listen. >> No, I did listen, because you pulled me out the car and you didn't tell me what I did wrong. You did that and you know you did that. >> I just told you I did. >> No, you did You're not >> Go go be with >> I didn't do anything wrong to you. You didn't even try TO TRY TO ASK ME FOR MY IDENTIFICATION. >> OKAY, we're going to sit in here for just a moment. >> You literally just pulled me out of the [ __ ] car without telling me anything. >> Just turn and sit right here. This was going to be a simple traffic stop, dude, for fail to stop. >> What happened? >> I think she's signal one. >> Oh. >> I can smell it on her breath while she's yelling at me. >> The deputy activates his lights. The driver refuses to hand over identification and immediately the conversation escalates. She argues about gender, about right of way, about who is really in charge. The deputy is not interested in the debate. He wants a license. When she still won't comply, he puts his hands on her. She calls it assault. He calls it a lawful order. Backup arrives including a sergeant with a sharper eye. He smells alcohol. He spots an open beer bottle on the floor. Now, the story shifts. This isn't just about a stop sign anymore. It's a suspected DUI. She insists there was no probable cause to stop her in the first place. Here's the problem with that argument. Under Terry versus Ohio, officers don't need probable cause to pull someone over. Reasonable suspicion is enough. A rolled stop sign is reasonable suspicion. That's the entire legal bar and she cleared it for them. She stalls on the field sobriety test negotiating instead of complying. While the deputy asked the same question over and over, will you do the exercises? Her answer never comes, only more arguing. >> You good? >> Yeah, there's an open beer bottle on the floor which would confirm I smell it out of her breath while she's talking to me the whole time. Am I waiting for Christian to search her or something? >> Yeah, well I mean what do you got her on right now? >> All right, suspicion of DUI. She's going, sergeant. >> Yeah, that's >> So >> I can tell that you're upset. >> Yeah, I'm upset because I have a right to be upset. You guys think I'm lying. Every time I come here and every time I deal with this [ __ ] I made a fully legal left turn with my turning signal. >> You'll have your day in court, ma'am, okay? >> I can't have a day in court because I'm going to go to jail. I'm literally going to have more than that. >> You know Let me give you You have a problem, right? Your problem right now is that you're in the back of the car. >> It's not my problem. It's not even my vehicle. >> Hang on. Hang on. >> It's not my vehicle. >> Your problem is that you're not allowing me to explain the situation to you. You're constantly over talking me. >> It's not my vehicle. >> Your problem is is that you're in a situation right now, okay, where you're in handcuffs in the back of the vehicle. Am I correct? >> No, that's not my problem. >> Where are you at? >> My problem is is that this is a whole lie that didn't go. >> No, you're in the back of a vehicle. Okay? And that's why That's why we have body cams, okay? >> That's not about Everything that happened If that was the case, then my case would have been dropped. I'm going to trial for a [ __ ] militant hurricane. >> Okay. All right. So, this is what we're going to do. Take a seat. Sit back. All right, I'll put you in seat belts. >> Future reference, okay? If you become If you get in this problem again, okay, easiest way out of it is to just comply with the officer. >> I was complying. He pulled me out of the vehicle. >> Okay. >> He pulled me out of the vehicle. I couldn't even to give you my registration or anything because I need you to tell me what I did wrong. >> Okay. All right. >> You guys do DUI, too? >> Yeah, no. >> She's hammered. >> Yeah, I agree. I'm going to ask her if she wants to do SFEs. Hey, Miranda. I got a question for you, okay? Listen, I believe you're under the influence of alcohol. Would you be willing to >> I would be. >> You'd be willing to complete standardized field sobriety for me? >> because I wasn't under the influence. I was looking for my vehicle, I mean, but looking for my car in my friend's vehicle. >> Okay. >> I didn't go anywhere and you know that I didn't You made a U-turn behind me. >> I did because I saw you >> You made a U-turn behind me because it was on a yellow light and I had the right of way and I made the right turn. >> That's incorrect. I told you why I pulled you over. You failed to stop >> Officer, and even after that >> I'm not arguing. Give me just a second. You are, though. >> She's refusing. >> Huh? No, she just told me she would do it. She's convinced that I stopped her because she went through the yellow light and I'm like, that's not why we're stopped. >> She wants to argue about it instead of listening. >> Yeah, and well, that's my concern right now. If I get her out of this car, she's just going to keep arguing with me and I don't know how far I'm going to get through these exercises. >> You give her the opportunity and if she's not compliant, then >> I can tell you after her resisting me trying to get cuffs on her, I don't want to take them back off, Sarge. I'll be 100% honest with you. >> If she's willing to be say that she's going to do it, we'll take them off, but >> I think she believes that I'm about to do a breathalyzer and I think that's what she agreed to do cuz she's asking me if I pass the breathalyzer right here, am I going to go free? >> Oh, okay. >> Hey, Miranda. >> What Deputy wants you to do is field sobriety exercises. >> Okay. >> You know what the difference between that and the the breathalyzer is? >> Yes, what I asked was uh is that with the probable cause? >> The probable cause is the traffic stop and the odor of alcohol. >> Right, but you didn't give me the odor of alcohol. He pulled me out of my vehicle because he said I made a traffic violation, but he didn't give me the give me the description of that. >> Well, we're not going to stand here and debate with you, ma'am. >> I'm not debating that, but I know you you know that I've stopped been stopped before and I've been in the jail because of the hurricane and I can't go out to jail because of bond. So, I was very compliant because of that. So, there was no reason for me not to be compliant. With that being With that being said, why would I go back to jail knowing that my bond can be revoked and I can go to jail for that? >> We're asking you to do some sobriety exercises. >> My thing is is if I will be able to pass that, what will go after that? >> We would make the determination at that point. >> Determination at that point? If will I be able to get a uh a traffic >> I'm not going to tell you one way or the other because we're not there yet. >> I understand that. >> I'm going to hold everything over your head and tell you to do it. >> I'm being very, very understanding and I'm trying to understand what's going on. At this point, even if I were to pass or not pass, where is the violation that I committed? >> Again, I'm not going to debate >> I I don't know the violation that I committed. That's what I'm saying. >> He was explaining it to you when you were standing on the screen. >> He No, I I wasn't I I literally got pulled and grabbed. I have a literally not mark on my arm to show that he literally put me over when I told him that I was a woman. I was rather a female because he told me he wanted to search me. >> You don't have that option. >> I do not have that option. What What made me upset I'm talking to you guys clearly. I know you guys before. You met me before. I'm trying to tell you that he upset me because he told me I I I What can I identify as? I identify as male or female. So, are you making me uncomfortable or trying to make me feel like I'm not a male or female? >> He's trying to be respectful. >> No, it's not respectful because the way he said it. >> That's how you perceive him, okay? >> But exactly. And that I'm only being compliant because of that. But I'm not being in compliant because of his actions. I'm being compliant because of what he said. >> So, at this point, are you going to submit to field sobriety exercises? >> Even if I submit or not submit, if I'm going to be able to pass it >> to submit? >> No. >> Okay. Perfect. >> I want to submit, but I need to know the answers to that. >> You're under arrest for DUI. >> Thank you. >> Hello. Yes. Can I please get my sobriety test, please? >> Then I need you to do me a favor, step out for me and let me search you. >> May I get my sobriety test? Like right like god damn I didn't do [ __ ] What the [ __ ] I'm not even drunk. I literally had I didn't even have one beer. >> Spread your feet for me. >> Y'all are not going to try to give me a test or what? >> Just uh al- DUI doesn't just mean alcohol. >> I'm not on nothing. I don't do drugs. What the >> I'm not saying that you do. I'm just saying that >> Y'all told me y'all were going to give me a test. I'm like what the [ __ ] where's the test? >> Didn't you just refuse? >> No, they told they're trying to confuse me on what the [ __ ] I'm saying. I'm trying to say like I didn't do anything wrong is what I'm saying no. I will take a test if I have to prove it. >> a test at the jail. >> No, I can't go to jail. I literally just went to jail for a hurricane Milton. >> Yeah, I need you to turn around. >> I'm turning the car facing the car. Spread your feet. >> Oh, oh, okay. >> I need you to stop moving. Spread your feet. >> I have nothing literally. >> I I don't care. I need you to spread your feet. >> My feet are spread. Sir. What the [ __ ] Y'all are tripping. This is crazy as This is kidnapping. This is [ __ ] insane. I didn't do anything wrong. What the [ __ ] He has no probable cause TO STOP ME. HE HAS NO PROBABLE cause to stop me. Y'all are tripping. No. This is [ __ ] insane. Y'all are crazy as [ __ ] Y'all are crazy as [ __ ] Can I take my test now? >> Um I'll have to ask him. Is this your phone? >> Can I take my test? >> Huh? >> That's not my phone. Don't take my I was literally I was not >> So whose phone is this? >> I have no idea. >> So do you want me to leave it in the car? >> I need to take my test. >> You refused. >> No, I told you >> asked you and you said >> No, that's not what you said. You made me feel like I was earlier. >> Hop back in the car. >> No, that's crazy. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh my gosh, y'all are tripping. Oh my gosh, y'all are tripping. >> [laughter] >> So, I don't want to I feel like that's her phone and if I leave it in the car take it as her phone. I was like, I don't want to throw you to the ground. >> Well, she like I was trying to search her and she kept like turning and I was like, I need you to stop cuz she kept turning around on me. >> Okay. Who Who's phone is it? >> I lost my phone. This is my friend's car. I drove up to the Circle K. >> Is it Jared's phone? >> I went to find my phone. Yes, I don't have it. >> Is this Jared's phone? Do you want me to just leave it in the car then for Jared? I can't Hang on, I can't hear you. Do you want me to give this to Jared? >> Yes, I was up at the Circle K looking for my phone. >> Okay. I'll give it to That's all we were trying to determine is if this needed to go with you or >> No, I don't have a phone. >> That's enough for probable cause to arrest for DUI. The cuffs go on, the arguing does not stop. She's charged with two misdemeanors, driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence. Both charges carry real consequences. DUI convictions typically come with license suspension and mandatory diversion under most states implied consent laws. In court, she pleads no contest to both. The judge treats that like a guilty plea. The sentence, 180 days in county jail, license suspended for 9 months, 50 hours of community service, mandatory DUI school, and a 10-day vehicle impound. The deputy gets a B. He stayed procedurally correct through an unnecessarily combative stop, though the physical takedown came in fast. Under Terry versus Ohio, his read of the situation held up. What he lacked was patience in the opening seconds. Miranda gets an F. She escalated a stop sign violation into a DUI arrest by refusing to simply hand over her license. Compliance would have taken 30 seconds. Instead, it cost her 6 months. The lesson here is simple. Reasonable suspicion is a low bar, and refusing to comply doesn't erase probable cause. It usually creates more of it. If you want more body cam breakdowns like this one, hit subscribe. What do you think the sentence should have been? Drop it in the comments.
