What the hell are you talking about? YOU JUST PACKED me down. >> I switched my flight. Whatever the case is. Let me show you my ticket. >> Okay. >> Okay. I made the reservation in a mass wear a conflict. What I'm having right here and then FREAKING CUT OUT. >> YEAH. And they went to change it up and confused. No, it's not okay. It's okay. Hey, how is that? What do you mean? >> Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just put ON YOUR BACK. >> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. CONFIRMATION. WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> On October 4th, 2023, airport police at Nashville International Airport arrested a New York traveler at an Alamo rental car counter. The subject had endured an 8-hour flight delay. Alamo refused to honor her prepaid Expedia reservation, citing a debit card policy requiring a same-day return flight itinerary separate from the booking confirmation. She presented boarding passes and was still denied the vehicle. >> I'm glad to see you. What's going on? >> You can wait. >> What's going on, >> please? >> What's going on? >> I'm having trouble. I was supposed to be here since 12:30, right? 12:30 this afternoon. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> I'm still in New York from from 10 something waiting for my flight. Supposed to arrive here at 12:30. Okay. It didn't happen. >> I switch my flight. Whatever the case is, let me show you my ticket. >> Okay. >> Okay. I made the reservation. It'll pass. It'll pass. Avoid this conflict. What I'm having right here out. >> Would you like to walk away from the counter just no? >> They don't want to hear that. >> Yes, they do. >> Because it's conflict. the need to do a random because it might happen again. If they do that, they talk and work to another officer. >> Well, you two have a problem with talking. You can't go. >> No, me and you were talking. I'm saying have them talk to another officer. >> Maybe another officer want to point. The whole point is to learn the process. If it's a conflict, they have to resolve it. Not like that kids that went out there with resolve the problem those other kids there. >> What happened? >> Uh sorry I was just checking her. So she she had a confirmation number everything and she paid through video for the rental third party. So we have policy here with debit card. I just asked her with for a card cuz we need a we have a card in file for incidentals. So she just gave me a debit card. for a debit card. We need polite that shows that she's flying out on the same day as she's in the vehicle. >> Mhm. >> We ask her the confirmation that >> on the same day she's getting the vehicle, correct? >> Yeah. To attend the Yeah. Either you have to have a credit card. If she doesn't have a credit card, she has a debit. So, with debit, we need a flight itary. So, she just I I asked her about the flight itary. She gives me the Alamo confirmation. I told her we this is our confirmation, not polite. And she just like keep saying like everything like bad words. Yeah, that's it. >> Okay. She like throw anything or anything like that or like >> didn't hurt you or anything? Just stay in here for a minute. Just just situation. Cool. >> Okay. So, >> your flight got delayed, >> right? My flight got changed. I changed to another flight. They gave me another flight. Okay. Where's that flag? Okay. Got it. Now the two evidence is right here. Two things. Okay. Ticket. Ticket identification. You witness to that. Make sure I get it back. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. I had to go back to deal with them. >> Okay. >> And they need >> So this was today, >> right? That's today. They're all today. >> Now, do you know what time the flight actually left? cuz this says 3:59 p.m. >> Yeah, it's still it's still after this, >> right? >> And I didn't let out >> till 6:50. >> Okay. >> But this morning, you just land sitting here. I just >> Okay. >> Okay. >> From 10 something. >> Okay. >> This morning till now at the airport. >> Okay. >> So, you're showing up 9 hours later than when you were supposed to. Okay. >> All right. So you won't >> So what's going on with them? >> Well, the point is the thing is that I gave him a debit card. I did a repeated activation to the web which is the automo. >> Okay. >> They said he's saying that I need more when I needed a confirmation flight number and she was >> because they changed it. I'm supposed to never put these tickets out. Find them on her phone. >> Right. You use the debit card. You do need a confirmation flight number. >> Okay. So, >> did Expedia book both the car rental and your boarding passes? >> Yeah. And they went to change it up and confused. No, it's not okay. >> It's okay. You're okay with me. >> I'm going to work with them, too. >> We're figuring out what's going on >> because I need a car. >> Okay. >> Or I'm going to spend a night in your jail. Where is your jail anyway? >> My jail is downtown Nashville. >> Okay. Then I will be with you in a few minutes because I got nowhere else to go and nobody can pick me up for the big night. >> So we're trying to figure this out. >> You're going to give me an esport to where I'm going. >> Where are you going? >> I'm going all the way at some Fuji Lane. That way you going >> How far is that from here? >> Uhhuh. All right. How the hell am I supposed to know? >> Well, how am I supposed to know? >> I know it's Fuji Lane. >> Okay. >> I live over here. >> All right. >> But you want to know? You going to get the explanation? >> So what we're trying to figure out? >> Okay. We still got to figure out. We got to figure this out first. >> Okay. Wait, let me make sure. Uh-huh. >> Hold on to those. Just leave those out on the counter right now. >> I got to leave it there. >> Yeah, because those are your boarding passes. If you pull up the Expedia thing, that'll prove both that you bought a flight with the car. >> Okay. >> See what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> All right. So, >> she said the flight got delayed till 650. >> So, she didn't leave till >> I telling your number. is the new itinary number is right here. So what the hell is the problem with it? >> So we need the confirmation flight number for you flying from out of Nashville to wherever you're >> flying out. You can't put them in a flight out >> like a return flight. >> It keep return flight now. I just got here. >> So usually when you book a flight it's not just one way like you get a round trip. So you have >> that's from New York to here. They're looking for the one from Nashville back to New York to confirm your whole trip. So, if you're only here for 2 3 days, you know what I'm saying? That's how you would return the car. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. I told him, yeah, but we're not going to be able to rent it. >> What? You better? Yes, ma'am. You got to rent to me at this point. We're not going to be able to. >> You going to give I'm ready to go cuz I don't know. >> Take backpack off. >> Okay. >> You arresting me? >> I am, ma'am. >> I don't want you right there. Hold up. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You want >> Let me hear my rights. Mend the right. >> You're under arrest for disorderly contact. >> Tennessee code annotated section 3917305 defines disorderly conduct as conduct in a public place with intent to cause public annoyance or alarm combined with one of four acts. Fighting or threatening behavior, refusal to obey a disperse order issued during an emergency, creation of a hazardous condition or unreasonable noise preventing others from lawful activities. The statute is conjunctive. Criminal intent must accompany the act. The Supreme Court addressed this boundary in City of Houston versus Hill decided in 1987. The court held that verbal speech directed at law enforcement, including speech that is profane or confrontational, is constitutionally protected. Verbal criticism of police, even when loud, cannot form the sole basis of a disorderly conduct arrest. Officers must tolerate a higher degree of verbal friction than private citizens, that is binding constitutional doctrine. The arrest trigger was the subject statement that she was ready to make a scene. The officer cited two statutory elements. Refusal to obey a disperse order and unreasonable noise. The disperse order element requires dangerous proximity to fire, hazard, or emergency. A threshold a rental counter dispute does not satisfy under the statute's plain language. The unreasonable noise element is the prosecution's stronger argument, but still requires proving criminal intent to cause public alarm, legally distinct from intent to resolve a consumer grievance. Under City of Houston versus Hill, that distinction is constitutionally mandatory. A customer demanding service is not on its face a person intending to cause public alarm. Without clear evidence of that specific criminal intent, the arrest rests on constitutionally fragile ground. >> Hey, how is that? What kind? >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Confirmation. When you say Hold up. Wait. I'm not moving yet until you tell me. YOU PRACTICALLY do that. I sue your hand. Put your hand >> under what duration? What? Arrest for disorderly conduct. Turn around. Put your hand behind your back. >> Turn around. Put your other hand behind your back. Now do it now. >> Okay. Tell me what I'm doing again. >> Just ordering conduct. >> Just ordering the conduct. >> Okay. And you are securing my stuff. >> Yes, we will secure stuff. >> All right. Here you go. My stuff is supposed to be in. Are you putting it in my phone contact? Can I make a phone call >> once you get to jail? >> Okay. Can you put my phone? You leaving my stuff out? >> Your phone and your ID and stuff will go with you. >> All right. >> Can you put it in? Can I see that? You going to PUT MY HAND ON HER? OH [ __ ] I can't get out of there. >> So, where is it going to be at? >> At the police station. And I will give you >> put that in, please. >> You don't want to have your phone with you at the jail. I'll take you to it. >> Yeah, they'll give it stuck it in here then. >> I got to keep it out. >> No, no, no. >> I give it to them. >> Put your mouth back and that paper cuz I need my stuff and this one right here. You have to >> Yes. >> And this one is right here. >> Okay. >> I'm not trying to You know where that drug is. So, what the hell are you doing? >> Okay. Mom, excuse me. Is there something you're looking for? >> Yeah. Where's your ID? Where my my ID is right in my breast right here. >> And my money. What is it that you're looking for? >> I'm going to get that out of your your bra. Okay. Okay. >> Can't take it with you anyways. What else is in here? >> I can't take my ID. >> You can take your ID. >> Why I mean I can't take my ID? >> I didn't say that. What? What else is in your bra? >> Hold up. Wait a second. Why you can't take my ID? My money and my identification. What do you take? I ain't got no breath. I stop peeling up that much. Ain't nothing else in here. Why is he not gave us my right here? What are you looking for? >> If you move here and anything lost, I will sue you. What is your name, ma'am? >> Taylor. >> Taylor White. >> Taylor has to have a nice day. What is Taylor? >> Ma'am, you're not properly identifying yourself. >> I don't even know if you're a real cop or fake cop. How am I supposed to know? >> Hello, sir. That's mine also too. You missed it. >> I have. >> He has to have old things right here. He has to have >> got your passport. >> You are holding too. And who are you, mister? >> Your what? What's your name? >> Ceil. >> Okay. Ceil that don't mean nothing. Guarantee. Excuse me. Who are you, sir? Your name, identification of name. The other one, Mr. Car's upstairs. Cars upstairs. >> Ma'am, you don't need to see. I have you in my >> I don't need to see I do need to see my belongings unless you are paying for it or I will soon >> and I can't res I'm not from here you have to explain to me my right >> I am from New York >> so you have to explain my right. That's how it goes. I'm going to have to Okay. So, you are giving me a misdemeanor or what? What is >> that? Is a misdemeanor arrest. Correct. >> It's a misdemeanor arrest. So, you are also making me a felony. So, that means you obstructing my job wise. So, for saying something which is verbal, whatever the case is. So if I don't have a job, I have 10 police officers that know that if I become a it's under you. Okay. Thank you so much. >> You want to take this with you now? >> In fact, I'm allowed to am I? Okay. Can you please put it in my pocket? Am I >> not going to put it in your pocket? >> So why did you ask me if I'm >> He's going with you to jail. >> To jail? >> Oh, to jail. My phone too. You said you didn't want to go. You want to go? I want my phone to go in jail. I don't know what that kind of deal is. Which it is? What type of deal it is? >> It's a regular jail where >> ma'am, keep walking. >> Downtown. >> Damn, you aggressive. What the hell your wife said about you? >> [ __ ] She didn't open her mouth. >> Damn. I'm not even struggling with your ass. >> You're pulling away from me this whole entire time. >> I'm not pulling away from you. I'm not struggling. You're alive. I am cooperating with you. If I were, >> you would have been going to bruise my ass up already. [ __ ] Stop lying. Been aggressive. And I'm not even doing anything. Can I call myself? >> Nope. >> [ __ ] >> Are you going to step down? >> Step down. >> Huh? The subject demanded Miranda adisement on camera. Miranda versus Arizona requires rights advisement prior to custodial interrogation, not at the moment of arrest. Because the officer conducted no interrogation during transport, and the subject's statements were entirely spontaneous, Miranda had not technically attached. No statements would be suppressible on these facts. Best practice still favors prompt advisement at arrest to establish transparency and reduce civil liability exposure. The pat down of the subject's bra by a male officer raises a fourth amendment issue. Chimel versus California authorizes a full search incident to a lawful arrest to secure weapons and prevent destruction of evidence. However, most postcertified departmental policies require searches of intimate areas to be conducted by a same gender officer when practicably available. No female officer was summoned before this search was conducted. This procedural failure does not invalidate the arrest outright, but create civil liability exposure under 42 USC section 1983 and may affect admissibility of any evidence recovered. On use of force under Graham versus Connor, the handcuffing falls within constitutional parameters. The subject was non-fleeing, non-threatening, and physically non-resistant. Verbal commands escalating to arm control was proportionate. No excessive force claim is supportable here. >> Typical show again. >> I'm just got to finish patting you down. >> Okay. Do you have I can >> Yes. Do you have anything in your pocket? Do you have any drugs or sharp objects, weapons? >> No. What the hell wrong? >> Okay. Cuz you know they're also going to search you at jail. And if you do have any of those things on you, you will be charged for that as well. >> I DON'T HAVE THAT ON ME. WHAT THE HELL ARE you talking about? YOU JUST CUT ME DOWN. >> OH, THE CAMERA. HI, CAMERA. They arrest me for nothing. >> I'm going to lose MY JOB. THANK YOU. I got parad back to the station so I can go get another car. >> Okay. >> Or do you want to >> My car is 11 cars. It's kind of all right. >> Just fine. >> Step up in the vehicle, please. Thank you. >> Thank you. Do I ask you TO JUDGE HOW LONG IT TAKES? >> OKAY, I'm going to explain this to you. Okay, this is this is a business card. That is our address. That is where you will go to pick up your two other bags when you get out of jail. Okay, understand? You'll call this phone number right here. >> I want to say what address is it be here? >> No. Metro, listen to me. Listen to me. Stop talking. Listen to me cuz this is important information for you. Okay, this is how you get your bags back. So, Metro Booking will not take your large bags. We are airport police. They will not take your large bags. Your bags will be stored at this address I have written down right here. Understand? >> So, you are here for cops that arrest you. >> I am an airport police officer. >> That's a man certified by the state of >> Oh, you want to be relocated [ __ ] >> What does that mean? I don't know what that means. [ __ ] Okay, explain that to you. So, if you don't know, it's on you. This card will be in your passport. Okay. I'm going to step out of the car, please. >> Okay. Excuse me. I do not want to be feeling like I about to be something else. Give me enough room, please. Sorry. And >> I'm going to help you out of the car if you don't fall down. Okay. >> Thank you. How? Okay. >> Slide down. Slide down. Boom. I'm a short person. Now, hold on. Let me get my possession because the last time you did not give me that ride. >> I call cops. Uh uh what do you call it? >> Uh airport cops. >> Even better cops like that. I know your ass wasn't really cop. >> Okay. >> You done talking? You ready to go? >> Ready to go west. >> We're going to take you. >> No. >> All right then. Come back to me that far. >> [ __ ] What now? >> I'm locking my car. >> Wait a minute. What's possession you have in my case? >> I have all the stuff you wanted us to put in there. >> Wait, you did not have all my stuff cuz you don't have my license. >> Well, you lost that. So, >> I didn't lost it. You lost it. You're the airport cops. Remember, you lost it. I put in there. You lost it. How long I supposed to stay in here for before you release me? >> I have no idea. That's up to now. >> Until what? >> Huh? >> After what? I don't know. >> You got to tell me something. >> It's just orderly conduct. Conduct supposed to stay here. It's not like I killed somebody. [ __ ] >> Okay. >> I'm serious. >> Act like nobody like white people does nowadays. Anyway, so what is the next procedure? >> They're going to book you and then you'll probably sit here for like 8 hours and you'll be released. >> I'm releasing how I get to where I need to go. Uh, that's on you. You're the one who got arrested, so it's not my problem. >> No, you [ __ ] that supposed to be over. >> I pulled you over. You got [ __ ] dressed me up like a [ __ ] like you just Okay, that one. Oh, by the way, you are planning on trying to be a fullface in the play department, aren't you? Okay, thank you. Now, what did I do? I sit down and wait to go. Please explain something out the rest because I'm not from here. I don't know what the procedure is. >> You're just going to talk to a magistrate later. >> Well, I there you don't know. >> You don't know. But who am I talking to? When you hand me over, who the you handing me over to? >> I'm handing you over to David Sheriff's Office. >> Okay. Can you What now? I said what I do what could you call it? Cuz you lost my [ __ ] But I let you know you lost my my license. So there's something I call red. I drive [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> You did that to yourself. >> You were screaming at these people. >> I was screaming. >> Yeah, you were >> verbally. Not physical. >> Yeah. It doesn't have to be physical. You caused the public annoyance. >> Yeah, but you me to read the You want me to read the TCA to you real quick? >> Please read. >> You don't know what a TCA is, do you? >> What's the TCA? >> Tennessee codes annotated. It is the code of law in the state of Tennessee. Let me just >> I said Tennessee. >> TSA. >> Nope. Not TSA. I'm airport police. TSA. >> A person commits an offense who of the disorderly conduct. >> Who in in a public place and with intent to cause public annoyance or alarm. Engages in a fighting or violent threatening behavior. Refuses to obey official order to disperse, which you did. Issued to maintain public safety in a dangerous proximity to fire hazard or whatever. creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by screaming at people and any act that serves no legitimate purpose. A person who violates a section makes unreasonable noise that prevents others from carrying on lawful activities which you did. They could not carry on working because you would not stop bothering them. >> They are working on me which was me and the rest of them. >> Everything I just read was where you practice >> cuz you're arrested for it. Where is the writing? The back office. You got to say something. >> What does that mean? No, I write that later. >> You don't No, no, no. You got to write it now. >> No, I'm not going to write it now. >> Please. You ain't going to be the cops. >> Are you on drugs or something? Cuz you're acting very odd. >> You're not going to be real cop. >> Do you have any drugs in your bags or anything or any on your person? Cuz if they find drugs on you, that's an extra charge they're going to charge you with. >> Whatever. You're not going to be a real cop in any other. >> I am actually a real cop in this. You want me to fix your jacket real quick? >> Why you going to touch? >> So it's not all tangled up. >> Don't touch me. >> Okay, perfect. I don't want to touch you. >> You lost my license. Okay. >> No, no, no, no. You lost your license. You lost your license. >> Anyway, he's not going to do this thing for 3:00 a.m. talk to me or your real time. >> I'm waiting on him. >> All right. Thank you. During transport, the officer read TCA section 3917305 aloud to the subject, an uncommon transparency measure. This reflects professional conduct. However, it also exposed the weakness in his own probable cause determination. The emergency proximity language in the disperse order element does not map onto a rental counter dispute. A point the subject challenged immediately and correctly on the plain text of the statute. >> You can step up here, please. >> Okay. >> Sit up. Sit up. Come over here, please. And you are you are what? Police corporals. >> You're what? Deputy sheriff. Your name is I don't know who you are. >> Okay. >> Listen to her. Answer her question. >> Are you sick? >> What? Are you sick? Sick with what? >> A lot of red. She got a camera right. So take the damn thing. Are you suicidal? Do you want to hurt yourself? >> What do you want to hurt yourself? Did I want to look at your paper? I know. I just dropped this or no, ma'am. >> It's a yes or no question. Answer the questions now. >> A suicide. Why you asking? >> Are you or are you not suicidal? >> Why? I could Why? >> They have to ask these questions. >> Why are you going to hurt yourself? >> Are you going to hurt yourself? >> I'm tired. I want to sleep. What the heck? He just took my >> Are you or are you not suicidal? It's a yes or no question. >> Okay. I'm too tired for this. They just took me up from the airport. Whatever the case is. right here. >> Step over there. >> The arresting officer receives a C++. His mediation attempt and thorough post arrest logistics communication reflect professional practice. However, pursuing full custodial arrest rather than ordering the subject to leave bypassed available lower level options. A citation or dispersal order would have achieved public safety with less constitutional exposure. The bra search without a same gender officer present is a procedural failure creating direct section 1983 litigation risk. The subject receives a B minus. Her demands for legal basis, Miranda advisement, and documented inventory of reflect genuine constitutional awareness. Her physical compliance during handcuffing and transport was legally correct under TCA section 47-1-06, which prohibits resistance even when the underlying arrest is unlawful, preserving all legal remedies without adding charges. The deduction comes from one moment. Her statement about making a scene provided the officer with documented probable cause under his statutory interpretation, regardless of whether that interpretation survives constitutional scrutiny. Stepping away from the counter when offered would have ended this encounter entirely. Three takeaways apply broadly to anyone navigating a police interaction. First, strategic silence during a high tension moment is often more protective than vocal assertion. Constitutional arguments carry force in court, not at the point of arrest. Second, statements made in frustration carry legal consequences, even when constitutionally protected. Third, Tennessee's disorderly conduct statute requires specific criminal intent, not mere loudness or annoyance. Consumer frustration is not criminal intent, and that distinction between a grievance and a crime is precisely where a defense attorney builds a viable case. At the time of this analysis, the outcome of any criminal proceedings or civil filings related to this arrest remains unknown. The charge disorderly conduct under TCA section 3917305 is a class C misdemeanor. Any prosecution would face substantial constitutional challenge in establishing criminal intent to cause public alarm under city of Houston versus Hill as distinguished from a consumer asserting a legitimate grievance against a private company.
