Just one. >> No. >> Where are my Miranda rights? >> Where are your Miranda rights? >> Yes. Where is that? I'm a citizen. We're not asking you any questions. >> Anything else? >> Thank you. >> That's all she had. >> Miranda versus Arizona. The 1966 Supreme Court decision everyone knows requires officers to advise you of your rights before custodial interrogation. Not before arrest, before questioning. The deputy wasn't asking her anything. Not about the beach, not about her night, not about anything. No interrogation, no Miranda obligation. He told her exactly that. She asked 17 times. He answered 17 times. The right she was demanding was never triggered because the situation that triggers it never occurred. Then came the vehicle she refused to get in. Under Florida law, refusing a lawful officer's directive following a lawful arrest, is resisting without violence. A separate criminal charge up to one year per count. The original infraction, being on a closed beach after hours, was civil, a fine. What she added to it through every refusal was criminal. She escalated her own case at every turn. She told them she didn't do anything wrong more than she said anything else. But every second of this was on camera and everything that happened from the first warning to the last refusal was her narration, not theirs. >> In the vehicle, >> get in the car and I'll read. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> All right. You want your random rights, right? >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> Get in, >> ma'am. Did I do something wrong? >> Get in. I'll explain it. >> Get in, >> ma'am. Have a seat, please. >> Come on. >> You're pushing me in the [ __ ] car. >> Where are my men on the right? Get in. >> Where are my Miranda? >> I'm going to read you your rights when you sit down. >> Before that, >> you need to sit first. >> I'm sitting. >> Sit. Sit in the car. >> Bring me my Miranda rice. Please get >> me my Miranda Rice all the way in. >> Come on. >> Bring me my Why am I being arrested for what? >> We don't have time for this. Come on. >> Why? Why am I being arrested? >> You don't get in the car, you're going to get another charge. So, >> a charge of what? >> Not getting in the car. It's resistance. So, get in the car. I don't even deserve to be here to begin with. >> Ma'am, >> stop. You're forcing yourself on me. >> Get in the car. >> Get in the car. >> Do what? I don't put your feet in the car. >> You haven't even read me my rights. >> Put your feet in the car. >> Have you read me my rights? >> Put your feet in the car. If you put your feet in the car, I'll read you your rights. >> I'm going to read them. >> So, if I don't put a [ __ ] foot on this [ __ ] car. I'm not. >> Nope. Mm- >> You don't have a choice to get in the car. >> Ma'am. >> Um, excuse me. >> You don't have a choice. >> I'm an American citizen. >> I don't really give a [ __ ] >> ma'am. >> So, get in the car. I don't give a [ __ ] >> You don't You don't get in the car. I'm going to force you. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> You have one second. >> You're recording. What? >> We're recording. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> So, get in the car. This is the last warning I'm giving you. >> Nope. I didn't do anything wrong. Don't force me. You're getting in the car. >> You're forcing me. >> You're getting into the car. >> You're not forcing me. >> Yeah, I am. >> Why should I get in the [ __ ] car? >> You're getting into the [ __ ] car. >> Why? >> In the car. Let's go. >> Come on. I need that recording, please. >> It's recording. >> I didn't do anything wrong. Hello. You >> push your feet up. >> Yep. I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I go? Hey, you're pulling my hair. You're pulling my hair. You're hurting me. You're hurting me. You're hurting me. You're hurting me. I could have asked nice. You could ask nicely. I would have put it.

I'll give it back to him." >> All right. >> So, shall we? >> Yes. cuz I got to be back here at 6:30 in the morning. >> Okay. >> So, let's get her back so I can do the report.

Now slide those like >> Why would you Why would you have that camera on when you slam the foot on my foot? >> Huh? >> There we go. >> And when I was crying I was crying for me to You open the door, you slammed the foot on my door. >> Evelyn. >> She was eventually secured, transported for medical evaluation after complaining of a foot injury, then taken to jail. Prosecutors charged her with two counts of resisting an officer without violence and one count of violating beach hours. The civil infraction she started with ended with a criminal record and two separate charges. In Florida, resisting without violence under section 84302 is a first-degree misdemeanor up to one year in county jail per count. Two counts, that is 2 years of exposure from a beat she was asked to leave. The deputies get a B+. They gave multiple clear warnings before making any move. They explained the reason for arrest more than once. They let her talk and she did extensively. Under Graham versus Connor, every decision holds up under objective reasonleness review. Minor tone moments during the vehicle loading will draw attention in an edit and departments watch that. It doesn't change the legal outcome, but it's worth noting. Evelyn gets a D. Being on a closed beach is a civil infraction. Refusing to leave after a lawful order makes it obstruction. Refusing to enter the vehicle after a lawful arrest makes it resisting. She added charges at every decision point. She had the right to remain silent. She had the right to an attorney. Both of those rights were available to her from the moment handcuffs went on. She chose differently and what she said, all of it on camera built the case against her better than the deputies could have done themselves. Miranda does not attach at the moment of arrest. It attaches before custodial questioning. If no questions are asked, the warning is not required. The officers were correct on the law. She was not. And the distinction is one that courts have been clear on since 1966. The lesson here is straightforward. A civil infraction becomes criminal the moment you refuse a lawful order. Every additional refusal is a separate act. And in Florida, each act of resistance can be charged separately. Compliance is not admission. It is also not a waiver of rights. An attorney sorts the rest out. If you want more body cam footage, the moments that suspects don't expect to end up on camera, hit subscribe. We post every week. Drop a comment. Was the deputy correct on Miranda? What do you think the sentence should be? We'll see you in the next
