This is what that looked like. She had been calling police about her husband for years. She wanted them to understand that. Officers acknowledged it. Then they continued with the arrest. Domestic violence, failure to comply, resisting arrest, three charges from one stop. The law does not accept years of prior grievance as a substitute for compliance in the moment. Those are two different transactions. Stop. Stop. STOP. STOP. STOP. [screaming] STOP. STOP. RIGHT THERE. I'M TELLING YOU. STOP. STOP. I'm going to tell you what's wrong. >> What's wrong? >> Stop.

Stand up. >> Ready? >> Yeah. >> One, two, three, go. >> You're good. >> This all could have gone a lot better. >> Yes, sir. >> You know what I'm trying to say, right? >> Yes. The reason I'm stopping is because that bike is stolen. >> Stolen? >> Yeah. Stolen? You're on a stolen bike. >> Don't know why we're here. I ask him, "So, why did you take off front?" "Well, fight or flight. I've been I've been in trouble a lot, sir. I've been in trouble a lot." I go, "So, >> so you took off because you know who the police officer does not come back to?" >> No, it comes back to somebody else. >> I think this was all just This could have gone a lot different, >> sir. >> You know what I mean? So, listen. I I mean, I stopped you. I was trying to do things the right [clears throat] way. I was just trying to be like, "Hey, let me talk to you real quick." type thing. You know what I mean? >> You were past courteous. >> Yeah. You know what I mean? And then >> you knew I was a cop, obviously. I know. I understand that you know that your license was bad and that's why you fled. >> Right. >> Right. You You thought it was the license. >> Oh, my license is bad. >> Your license is bad since 2017. >> You're disqualified from having a license due to a a DUI. >> I had it reinstated and everything. >> No, your license been been bad, dude. You have bad You have a bad license. Yeah. >> No. >> All right. So, you know, I I understand that you were scared. I told you to stop. Stop. Obviously, you saw me in my uniform. You knew who I was. Um, at the end of the day, >> yeah, >> you know, it could have gone a lot worse. We could have gotten waffled by traffic. You know what I'm trying to say? >> Amen. Amen. I went, >> we This was actually not that bad. It could have been a lot worse. You know what I mean? >> Even with me [ __ ] it up, it wasn't that bad. We still got lucky. >> Tell me about it. [laughter] >> When we stopped. >> Obviously, you saw me. You said you were off your meds. You know what I mean? So, you knew who I was at that point. But would you continue? Why'd you run, bro?

I wasn't sure, but I didn't want to go through You didn't want to risk it. >> I don't want to confirm it. You know, right now it's a gray area. We'll sleep better like that, you know. >> When did you buy the bike? >> [ __ ] Four years ago. >> Okay. Okay. So, we called the owner of the bike, >> right? >> And he said he sold it about 3 years ago. So, >> Okay. Fine. Whatever. Yeah. Something like that. He told you $4,200 cash. >> Okay. So, you bought it for $4,200 cash from the owner. >> From that guy. Yeah. >> From that dude. >> And what happened was the reason I >> You got that title? >> Yes. >> You signed it? >> No. Well, what happened was when he sold me the bike, sir, on the title, he lives downtown right by the jail. fact, um, he put his name in the wrong spot on the title >> and I lost my phone with the [ __ ] offer up link and I didn't have no way to get a hold of him. >> All right, listen. Listen, sir. You've been cool. >> I got to hit you with a suspended license. I got to do that. You know what I'm trying to say?

The plate being on the vehicle, that's not assigned to that. And that's the last one. Okay. And I'll see if I get you a warning for uh >> maybe I'll turn the helmet into a warning or some [ __ ] I I'll see what I can do. >> Yeah. Cuz I think you're going to think that was long now, is it?

I [ __ ] beg for it. You had no choice. >> All right, brother. >> The second call came in the same shift. A man on a motorcycle officer ran the plate and it came back stolen. He signaled for the rider to stop. The rider saw a police uniform, identified it clearly, and chose flight. That decision triggered every charge that followed. Fleeing a lawful stop is not a neutral act. It is a separate criminal offense. On top of whatever the original stop was for, he started the encounter facing a plate issue. He ended it facing four charges. The officer warned him three times before deploying the taser. Three clear commands. The subject kept running. After the taser went out, the subject's first words were, "Don't feel guilty. That was 100% my fault." Once on the ground, he started talking and he did not stop. He explained the bike, the plate, the license, the DUI in that order without being asked most of it. By the time the officer had to read charges, the subject had already built the case for him. The plate was purchased from a stranger on the street for $20. He knew it was not registered to his bike. He bought it because his driver's license had been disqualified since 2017, and he did not want to register the motorcycle through official channels. his exact words. He did not want to confirm whether his license was still valid. He preferred not to know. Quote, "We will sleep better like that. Courts have a consistent position on willful ignorance. It is not a defense. It is an element of the charge." Disqualified is not the same as suspended. A suspended license comes from accumulated points, missed payments, or elapsed renewal. A disqualified license means a DUI revocation, a separate legal category in most states, with higher exposure on any new charge connected to it. His license had been in that category for 7 years. Under California versus Hadari, decided by the Supreme Court in '91, a person who flees from police is not considered seized during the flight. Evidence obtained after the stop, including everything he voluntarily said, is fully admissible. He ran. He got tased. Everything after that was on the record. The bike itself presented a separate issue. He purchased it four years ago for $4,200 cash. The seller filled in the title incorrectly and the subject lost contact with him. The officer called the registered owner who confirmed the sale. The bike cleared, but the plate did not and the license never would. The charges theft of the license plate a misdemeanor operating on a disqualified license noted down to a standard suspension. Resisting an officer operating without a license, the helmet became a warning. One small favor in a long afternoon. Under the Fourth Amendment's objective reasonableness standard established in Graham versus Connor, force is evaluated based on what the officer knew at the moment of the decision. Not in hindsight, three warnings, active flight, continued non-compliance. Every element of that standard was met before the taser deployed. Now for the grades, the officers get an A officer one dealt with a woman who crashed her car, fled a traffic stop for a mile, and used her own garage door as a defensive tool. He gave clear commands and escalated only when she refused. Officer 2 approached a motorcycle stop with courtesy, gave three warnings before force, and deescalated immediately after. The posttop conversation with the subject was transparent, professional, and direct about what charges were coming and why. That is how these stops are supposed to go. Lindsay gets a D. Three charges from a stop that began before she arrived home. She had a fifth amendment right to remain silent. She had it the entire time. Invoking it takes 3 seconds. She had considerably more than that during that arrest and chose not to use it once. Every word she said during the arrest documented prior police contact at her address, prior incidents involving her husband, and her awareness of ongoing domestic situations. None of it helped her legally. All of it went into the record. Jon gets a C+. He was on a stolen plate riding a bike with a broken title chain on a license that had been disqualified for 7 years. He admitted every element of every charge voluntarily in sequence while still on the pavement after being tased. His cooperation was genuine. His honesty mattered. It will matter at sentencing, but cooperation affects the outcome. It does not eliminate the charges. He handed officers a complete detailed case summary before they had to ask. The C++ is for the honesty. The rest was already inevitable. If you want more body cam footage, the moments people do not expect to end up on camera, hit subscribe. We post every week.
