A driver clocked at 65 in a 30 refuses one command and a routine ticket becomes an arrest, a taser threat, and a tow. Four legal questions drive this analysis.

We're 2 minutes from the station. >> Why can't I get a ticket? >> Because you you refused to get out of the car, so it's obstructing a peace officer. It's a misdemeanor now. >> you have a right to say that he didn't even have a reason. >> Have a seat. >> Sit in the car. I got to I got to put you in, okay? >> They literally >> Slide back. Come on. Slide back. >> Y'all don't >> Issue one, the stop. Under Wren versus United States 517 US 806 1996, any observed traffic violation supplies probable cause. 65 in a 30 is not a close call, provided the speed reading is accurate. Issue two, the exit order. Pennsylvania versus Mims 434 US 106 1977 lets an officer order a driver out of a lawfully stopped vehicle with no added justification. Refusal is not a protected right. Under Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 720 Act 5 Section 31-1, refusing that order is resisting or obstructing a peace officer, a Class A misdemeanor. The officer's shifting explanations do not matter because Mims requires none. Issue three, the arrest. Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 625 Act 5 Section 11-601.5 makes driving 35 mph more over the limit aggravated speeding. That is a Class A misdemeanor. Atwater versus City of Lago Vista 532 US 318 2001 upholds a custodial arrest for any misdemeanor committed in an officer's presence. The arrest holds on solid legal ground, even though the decision came late. Issue four, cannabis. Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 410 Act 705 Section 10-10 legalizes possession up to 30 g, but the vehicle code Section 11-502.15 requires it sealed and odor proof in a vehicle. People versus Molina 2024 Illinois 129 237 held that the odor of raw cannabis alone can supply probable cause. United States versus Ross 456 US 798 1982 extends that search to containers such as an open bag. Declining to charge cannabis later does not erase probable cause that existed at the moment of observation. Whether residue was present cannot be confirmed from this footage. The taser threat is the weakest decision in this footage. Graham versus Connor 490 US 386 1989 requires force to be objectively reasonable given the offense severity, the immediate threat, and the level of resistance. Here the offense was a non-violent misdemeanor, the vehicle was stationary, resistance was passive, and pregnancy had been disclosed. That raises the threshold considerably. Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 720 Act 5 Section 7-5 measures force by the totality of the circumstances. The footage shows repeated commands and a warning, but no real attempt to de-escalate. >> Get out of the >> Yes. Sorry, what was that? I I can't hear you. Sorry, hold on. Let me come up to you. What's up? Okay, well, she's under arrest for aggravated speeding and refusing to get out of the vehicle. No, it's being towed. >> Why? >> We're here for aggravated It's aggravated speeding. >> What How fast was she speeding? >> I don't know. You have to talk to primary officer, so but she has she has open cannabis in the vehicle, so. >> Why would it get towed if we're here to take it? >> Cuz she's driving it, so. You can just hang out here, sir. Just Just hang out here on the sidewalk. That's fine, but we got to get out get out of here, okay? >> You want to uh confiscate cannabis? >> Yeah, it's fine.

Yeah, we'll take that with. >> I'm going to put the confiscated cannabis right there in that little brown pouch. >> What do you want to do with it? >> So, she was pulled No, I got you, man. She was pulled over for 65 in a 30. All right. >> On there by St. Louis? >> All right. >> 65 in a 30? >> Yep, 65 in a 30. So, 35 over, okay? Um she's got open car. We tell her to step out cuz she's going to be placed under arrest because the speeding she's doing is a Class A misdemeanor. >> Okay. >> So, she >> Please, both. Please. Please. >> I mean, she did this She did all this extra [ __ ] Like, you understand she should be getting a Class 3 felony tonight. I'm not even going to do that. But she'd be too much.

You can't tell me where to go. Move. >> Starsman, he can go. Stay here. >> You can't park there. >> You need to get off the roadway. >> Off the road or we're towing your [ __ ] >> What you going to tow my car for? >> You need to get off the roadway. >> What you GOT ARRESTING MY WIFE FOR? >> GET off the roadway and we'll talk to you. >> What you Okay, pull into the parking lot. Go into the open parking lot. >> Go ahead hook it up. You're good Chris. >> Stay over there. DUDE, THERE'S CARS. >> SIR, YOU GOING TO TALK to me? >> GO OVER THERE AND WE WILL. >> THERE'S CARS.

Where is it Where? >> It's still >> Couch. PEOPLE SMOKE ALL THE TIME. >> So here's the thing. She's going to get tickets and she'll get out in 45 minutes and then >> Why why why y'all towing the cars? >> She It's impounded due to the arrest due to the arrest. Aggravated speeding. >> Come on, man. Don't >> No no no no no. It's unexcusable. Okay? It's unexcusable. It's getting impounded in accordance with our policy which is aggravated speeding, a class A misdemeanor. Okay? >> Come on, man. Y'all ain't petty. A woman by herself. >> I'm not petty. >> Don't lie. You can arrest me. >> no no no. I'm not petty. >> She said she was going 35. >> She wasn't. She's the only car that passed me. >> Look how many cars Come on, man. Y'all know some bull >> It is what it is. >> Where she at? >> She's at the Midlothian Police Department. She's going to get tickets, processed, and get out. Okay?

You should be arrested for reckless driving right now. You're lucky you're not getting arrested FOR RECKLESS DRIVING. >> I WASN'T DRIVING I wasn't speeding. >> Hey man, you want to push the envelope, no big deal. We'll do that. I'm the boss here tonight. You can get back in your car and leave. You can get back in your car and leave or we can get you arrested for reckless driving. Awesome. Sounds good.

Keep it up. >> That's the money she worked for. >> Okay, I got as much money as I saw in the car and put it in that purse. >> No, you're lying cuz it was in my boot. >> I >> That was the money that was on me. >> SO, SHE CAN'T GO GET NOTHING OUT OF THAT CAR. >> SHE can come get the car out of impound tomorrow and then go there. >> Money out of my pocket. She got money out of my pocket, not you. >> Okay. >> So, hold on. >> If there's no money OUT OF MY CAR, HOW AM I GOING TO GET MY CAR OUT? >> SO, I I'm I'm not looking through her boots and her clothes. >> No, no, but what I'm saying is I know how to impound work. >> Mhm. >> When people property get to the car, they search the car, the people in the impound. So, if her money missing, then what? She knows she got money in her car. >> Then that's something you take up with the tow yard, but I I took out as much money as I saw in the car. Okay? I We put it We put it All the money I took out of the car was in her purse. I got it. >> she have on her since y'all arrested her? >> I didn't charge her with but she has it in there.

Whatever cash is in there, she gets it. Okay? All right? That's that. >> Right, right. >> She had a ton of clothes in there and stuff. All the money that was in her hand and in her purse is in her possession right now. I don't know anything about money in a boot.

We gave her the sheet. It's a white piece of paper. It's in her possession. Okay? Have a good night. >> The impound. South Dakota versus Opperman 428 US 364 1976 upholds impoundment and inventory under standardized police procedures. A uniform tow after every misdemeanor arrest meets that standard, though the written policy never appears on camera. The husband. The First Amendment protects recording police in public. The Seventh Circuit, whose rulings bind Illinois, held so in American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois versus Alvarez 679 F3d583 2012. Blocking the roadway is not protected. Case status is unknown at the time of this analysis. The officer stated intended charges of aggravated speeding and resisting with possible battery and left cannabis uncharged. No court records were located. Officer Gooseby receives a C+. The stop, the exit order, and the arrest all rest on solid legal ground. However, the Taser threat against a non-violent pregnant subject holds the grade down. The supervisor receives a B-. He calmed the husband and explained the impound policy accurately. The deduction is for not reviewing force decisions already made and for threatening the husband with the The driver receives a C. She stayed cooperative at the window and was right that lawful possession is legal, but refusing the Mims exit order turned a traffic stop into a criminal case. Comply first argue in court. The husband receives a B. He stayed calm under pressure and avoided physical contact. Stopping in the roadway was the only thing officers had on him and he corrected it quickly. Lesson one, a Mims order cannot be argued at the window. If the stop is wrong, the remedy is a courtroom, not a refusal. Lesson two, legal possession is not legal storage. Cannabis in an open accessible bag violates Illinois law regardless of amount. Lesson three, disclose a medical condition clearly and early on camera before force is applied. Lesson four, a spouse observing an arrest belongs on the sidewalk. Lesson five, a mandatory tow after a misdemeanor arrest is legal with no negotiation at the scene.
