Um, it appears he came up here and tried to take money out of an account that has already been flagged for fraudulent stuff. >> Issue one, fourth amendment lawfulness of the investigative stop. Terry versus Ohio. 392 United States 1, 1968. Permits a brief stop on reasonable articulable suspicion, not probable cause. Three independent facts satisfied that threshold. a bank distress call, a previously frozen account flagged for identity theft, and a co-suspect who fled on site of officers. Issue two, handcuffing during detention versus formal arrest under the Fourth Amendment. Burkimer versus Mccardi 4 68 United States 4 204 holds that restraint does not trigger arrest status when proportionate to safety needs. One officer managing three suspects across two locations made restraint clearly proportionate. Issue three, the 14th amendment racial profiling allegation raised mid-enccounter. Equal protection prohibits race-based stops. However, four races were articulated. Bank alert, frozen flagged account, matching vehicle, and a fleeing co-suspect. Without evidence, race was a motivating factor. The allegation does not survive legal scrutiny. on that backpack. >> I just got here, man. Somebody will explain to you. >> Um, do you have Steven?

Any weapons, anything like that inside the vehicle. >> Okay. I'm just going to pull you out one at a time. Just keep your hands up on the steering wheel for me. You can put your phone on the dash right there. Just put your hands on the steering wheel for me. Okay. I'm going to open the door. Sergeant is going to grab your wrist and you're just going to step out. Okay. >> Just going to step out. Okay. >> You're going to turn around and put your hands on the top of it. >> Okay. >> Like I said, you're just being detained right now. You're not under arrest. >> In the car. >> I got >> We're pulling them off. >> Yeah. >> Making sure. Yeah, >> we got here. >> Yeah, >> I didn't tell you. >> Same.

Cuz I was going to say if you was on if you had a PO, we give you information so you can if you're not related to what's going on so you can let them know you had contact with us. >> But don't have a PO. >> You okay, man? >> Yeah. >> Good. >> What happened? >> Confused. >> Yeah. Like nobody said nothing. Nobody actually >> they didn't talk to you before incident that happened over down the road and your car looks like a suspect vehicle. That's it. So, as soon as we've determined that you're not it, then we'll let you go. Pretty simple. Okay. >> Y'all didn't do nothing then. Yeah. >> I hope you >> um she was read Miranda. She refused to talk to us. >> Okay, that's cool. >> Just is it? >> Uh I think Eco going to take over. >> Yeah. Hold on. I'm trying to tell you this. >> Do you guys need anything from me? >> The first one that >> I mean I don't know. Um, if anything, my husband [music] could put my phone to charge.

We got to get in the car. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> How are you doing? >> I'm okay. >> My name is Detective Doug. I'm with Orlando Police Department. >> Hi. >> What is your name? >> He just talked to me just a while ago. I'm confused. >> I I haven't I haven't spoke to you at all. It's the first time I speak. >> This is the second police that's speaking to me. I'm just I'm confused. about what's going on. >> My like I said, I'm Detective Bill with the Orlando Police Department. >> I can speak to you about what's going on, but before I go into detail and ask any questions or anything like that, I have to read you your rights. Do you want me to go ahead and do that now so we can talk about what's going on? >> Go ahead. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm listening. >> Okay. Um, so if you have any questions, just ask me. All right. >> Okay. >> You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Mhm. USA before USA. >> Can we talk about what's going on? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, so before I got here, what what have they told you? What have they talked to you about? What do you know? >> I don't know. All of I went to the bank. >> Okay. >> Trying to see if I could deposit some money onto my debit card. And I come outside. They Well, first off, the lady took too long to even open back my account cuz >> I've been calling the bank to see what was going on with my bank. >> Okay. >> Came up here to try and talk to them about my bank and they said, "Oh, I got to wait 5 minutes," which is like weird to me. You feel me? So, now I >> decide I had to go. I want to use the bathroom or whatever. >> Now I need to pee. But now, um, they're telling me that how as I come outside, this young lady then proceeds to tell me I'm going to be detained >> and I still don't know what's going on. >> You said young lady, an officer? Yes. >> Okay. So, at this point, when you come outside, you're not dealing with the bank anymore. You come outside and there's an officer outside >> and she detains you. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What happens after that? >> After that, I don't know. Like, she Well, she's telling me she don't know what's going on. She didn't tell me exactly what's going on >> and just lead to this this situation. >> Okay. How long have you been banking with Addition Financial? >> Um, I started banking with them about the beginning of this year. >> Okay. So, like early like January this year, maybe late of like maybe December of last year or for sure was 2024 or you're not too sure. >> I think it was December. >> December, ending of December. >> Okay. Uh, >> no, no, I'm lying. So, yeah, it was around >> November. >> November. >> Around November. >> So, November last year. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Where did you open the account at? Did you open it here? Did you open it? >> No, I opened it in CMI. >> In CMI. Do you live in CMI? >> No, my aunt lived in CMI. >> Okay. So, where were you staying with your aunt? Why would you open the account in CMI? >> No, I was staying with my aunt. Not at that time. >> Okay. So, at that time you were staying over there, your aunt Cass. Okay. Um I'm sorry. >> And when you open the account, was this the ID that you presented? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, is your first name Jessica? >> Jessica News. >> Okay. What's your date of birth? >> Uh October 1st. >> What year? >> 1988. >> Okay. How tall are you? >> I'm 5'6. >> 5'6. Okay. How long have you had this driver's license? Um about two years. >> Two years. Okay. Uh since you've opened the account here at Additions, um have you been has the money going in and out? Have you been making any deposits? >> Well, that's exactly what I was trying to talk to them about. I didn't the account has been acting weird like when I logged in, they say that uh it was too much >> uh too much time. So, I've been trying to log into the account. So, when I >> like online? >> Yes. That's why I came up here to talk to them about. Okay. Uh, so since November and now, have you been getting like direct deposits in the account? Do you use the account regularly or >> No, I haven't been using the account regularly. The only time I try cuz I was going to put some money on on the account right now and >> Okay. >> I couldn't do that because they was telling me that they was trying to finish um with the account. >> Okay. >> Uh, where are you going to deposit cash or check? >> I was going to deposit cash. >> Okay. So, do you have cash on you? >> Yes, it's in my wallet. >> Okay. How much How much cash is it? >> It's 100. >> 100? >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, you're coming to deposit 100 bucks cuz you want to put money in the account. >> That debit card, have you used it at all? >> Yes, I have used it a couple times. >> Okay. Uh if how much do you know what the account balance is right now in the account? How much you got in the account? I can move it to the software. >> Uh about $25 right now. >> $25. >> Yeah. >> In total, how much have you put in and out of that account? Do you know? You know, I haven't put in anything since the debit card has been since the account has been acting up. I haven't really put anything on the account. >> Okay. Uh, have you tried to open an account at Addition Financial anywhere else? >> No. >> No. Okay. Um, do you recognize that ID? >> No. >> With your photo on it? No, >> you don't recognize that. So, according to Auditions Financial, they said you tried to open another account with that same ID with your photo on it with a different ID, different name. You know anything about that? I mean, it's here, you know, the same photo as that photo, right? And which is why we're here right now. If I told you that I talked to Miss Jessica on the phone before coming in and talking to you, would you believe me? Or do you think I'd be lying to you? >> I don't know. >> What do you think? I've been truthful with you this whole time. I don't think you've been very truthful with me. Okay. So, we can be truthful about what's going on or we can continue to lie about it. And I got to notate that you continue to lie to me about it. They called me out here to speak to you for a reason. Okay? I dealt with cases like this plenty. I've been doing this for a couple years investigating just this kind of stuff alone. All right. I know you're not miss okay, but I want to know what's really going on to see if there's anything that I can do for you. There's two other guys out here that are waiting for you in your car. Right. >> That's not my car. >> It's not your car. Okay. Well, two guys out here waiting in a car for you that are stopped around the corner that you can't see right now. >> Okay. So, at this point, I think your story would have worked for someone who works at Addition Financial, but I think you and I both know law enforcement has a little bit more information than what Addition Financial is going to have. Okay. What is your name? My name is Carlos. I would like to refer to you by your name. If not, I got to take a picture of you. Oh no. >> You know, I got to send it up to get it analyzed. >> I got to get your finger I got to get your fingerprint. >> You know, this can this can be quick. It can be a quick thing or it can be something that's going to >> What is it? >> Fiola. >> Fiola. This can be as long as you want it to be or as quick as you want it to be. Right. >> I mean, this is going to take long eventually. >> I mean, it it could it's going to be long. I'd be lying to you if I if if I didn't tell you it wasn't long. But it can be extra hours or it can be and and that's the only way we can hurry this process up is if we be truthful with one another. Okay. Issue four, fifth amendment. Miranda, compliance before custodial interrogation. Miranda versus Arizona 384, United States 436, 1966. requires full advisement before questioning any person held in custody. Detective Adam delivered complete warnings. Received confirmed waiver, then questioned the suspect. The resulting confession is fully admissible. Miranda compliance here was textbook. Issue five, fifth amendment invocation by the driver. Fritz, Berg House versus Thumpkins 560, United States 370, 2010. requires that the right to silence be invoked clearly and unambiguously. Fritz stated, quote, "I do not want to speak." The detective ceased questioning immediately. Any continued questioning would have violated the Fifth Amendment and risked evidence suppression. Three Florida statutes were violated. Florida statute 817.568. Fraudulent use of personal identification, a felony carrying up to 5 years per count. Florida statute 322.212 fictitious driver's license elevated to felony level when the document is used to commit a separate fraud. Florida statute 817.02 false personation intent required and satisfied here by the subject's own admission of a $5,000 payment structure. >> Is someone employing you? Are you getting paid to do this? >> I'm getting paid, right? >> Okay. How much are you getting paid? 500 >> 100,000 >> 5,000 After what though? >> You're not getting 5,000 just for opening an account. What has to be done before you get to 5,000? >> Just this. >> Huh? >> Just this. >> Just open it and then eventually they'll hit the account for whatever they hit it for and then they'll break you off the five or they usually break you off the five up front. >> Uh break it off the five up front. >> They break it off up front. Okay. Is it these guys that you with >> or they just working? >> Just driving. They just working just like like you working. >> Do you know them >> personally? No, >> just through through the job. >> No, they they're not a part of like I just asked them to drop me off to the um gas to the bank, but they have nothing to do with it. >> Okay. So, they got nothing to do with it. You just know them. Y'all not friends or whatever. Y just know each other. >> No, we friends, but they not they don't have anything to do with >> what's going on in here. You just ask them, "Hey, give me a ride." >> Yeah. Okay. Um, whose car is that? That car that they in. >> Uh, the person that was driving, uh, girlfriend. >> Girlfriend. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And you were sitting in the front passenger seat. >> Mhm. >> Is there anything else in that car >> that belongs to this? Is there anything that's involved with this addition financial thing? >> No. >> My debit card and and credit card is in here. So, >> okay. Is it the debit and credit card for this Jessica or is it like your actual credit and debit card? >> Cash out card and my debit card. >> Where is it at in the car? >> Is in the car on the side >> like in the door pocket. Okay. Um, >> do you want me to see if I can get that for you? >> Yes, please. >> Okay. >> NP. They closed the door and locked the door on us, so we can't even get in there. I knocked on the door. >> And we want y'all to just stand outside. >> Yeah. Let me let me see if I can get you your cards and stuff. >> Uh what happened to my uh friends? >> They're still over there. I got to go talk to them. Cash. But if you're saying it got nothing to do with them, >> I'm going to talk to them and see what they got to say. Right. I can't take every everything you say for face value. You already lied to me once. >> I know. >> Right. You said I just want to make sure I get your cards though. Cash app and what's the other one? >> It's a cash app and a fifth card. >> A fifth. >> Mhm. That's your actual bank? >> Uh, fifth. Yes. >> Okay. And that says fuel on it. >> Yes. >> All right. How do they pay you the 5K? >> Uh, they was going to pay after this is done. >> But like they cash app you, they sell you. >> No, they was going to give it to me cash. >> Okay. Are they around here? Are they local? >> No, they're not over there. >> Where do they give How do you you meet up with them? >> Uh, usually I meet up with them where um it's >> what is it called? OBT. They call it OBT. >> OBT. >> Yeah. >> You know where on OB? OBT is long road. It's long strip. >> You don't know. >> It's probably not even the real address. >> How did you get in contact with these people?

Okay. >> Like a like a stripper or like a a um bottle girl? >> A dancer. >> Dancer. What's the other job? >> I work for McDonald's. >> McDonald's. >> Yeah. Don't let nobody know that though.

Whatot they How How many of these accounts have you opened for 5K? This the first one? >> This is the first one. Well, this will be the second. >> So the first one you did, they gave you the 5K. >> No, I didn't. I didn't get it because that one didn't go through. Chang did not go through. >> Okay. So Chang was the first one. >> Yeah. >> That you tried to put through. >> Yeah. I know it was attempted cuz I talked to him on the phone. It actually didn't go through. This one was in Point Sienna. Where did you try to open this one at? >> I think the same area. >> Same area over there. >> CM around there. Yeah, they said But this was the first one that didn't go through. Then that was the second one that went through and then you were supposed to get the 5K after this. Okay. What do you know these these dudes by? They live in Georgia or Well, they said they met you here on OBT. >> No, when I Well, I met them out here when I was working in the club. Oh, so you're working at a club here on OBT and that's how you met them. >> Yeah. >> So that was the concept.

He can't [music] from here with the traffic, maybe 15, 20 minutes, but it's better than sitting in the car waiting, right? One and two. when you get to the jail, you can use the bathroom. He can't stop at like a Wendy's and pull over, unless you use the bathroom. That's against our policy. So, we couldn't do it even if we wanted to. >> And I can't use the bathroom somewhere. >> Nah, we can't allow you to do that. Let Let me Let me get him so we can get you out of here so you use the bathroom at the jail. Okay. You got any questions? >> No. >> All right. I appreciate you being for information after the fact.

Did they talk about what they were what you y'all were going to do at the bank or anything? >> They said we were going to get some food today. All right, that's cool. >> Cool. >> Where were y'all going to eat? >> We haven't decided yet. >> Okay. >> I just was with them for like maybe like an hour. >> Okay. So when you got picked up by him, you guys came straight to the bank? >> No. Uh, we went to Marshalls and the girl went and bought some clothes. >> Okay. >> I'm not sure if she bought clothes or returned clothes. >> Okay. So, y'all went to Marshalls. Y'all stopped a couple, but y'all haven't got nothing to eat yet. Okay. Then y'all came here. >> What did she say she was doing here? >> She had a word. >> Really? Okay. Was she talking to him at least? Um, >> she was really quiet. >> Okay. >> I didn't really hear much. >> Okay. How long were you guys waiting in the bank before we rolled up? >> Um, she had just went inside. We were sitting there probably about 5 minutes. >> Okay. So, like 5 minutes. And you don't know anything about what she was doing inside or anything? You don't know nothing else about this dude other than he's trying to help you out. >> All right. >> You know, sometime like often, but it was never like We don't hang out every day. >> Yeah, >> Christian, right? That's yours. >> Uh, >> yeah. >> No, I got to go take him back. >> He's on his pro, he's on probation. I told him, let his PO know. If you need to report to anybody, let them know we stopped you. Uh, if they ask me, I'll tell him whatever happened is what happened. Uh, >> we had pictures today, so >> and then y'all good to go. Have a blessed day. >> You, too. The patrol officer receives an A minus. The stop was legally grounded. Restraint was proportionate and handoff to the detective was seamless. One deduction withholding all context about the investigation fueled the racial allegation. A brief neutral factual statement would have addressed this without compromising the case. Detective Adam receives an A. Miranda was delivered completely and confirmed. The Fifth Amendment invocation was honored without hesitation. constitutionally correct. One minor note, the phrase, "This can be quick or long," while permissible under Florida law approaches the boundary of impermissible inducement and has drawn scrutiny in other jurisdictions. The primary suspect receives a D, two prior attempts, multiple fictitious identities, and a structured cash payment confirmed deliberate organization, not an impulsive act. Fritz and Christian each receive a B+. Fritz invoked his fifth amendment right immediately. The legally optimal response. Christian cooperated fully and was corroborated and exculpated. Three lessons. First, money mule recruitment targets individuals in financial hardship. Accepting cash to open a fraudulent account carries felony liability under federal and state law. Second, silence is most valuable at first contact, not after a false story has already collapsed. Lying before and invoking Miranda does not suppress prior statements. It compounds legal exposure. Third, financial institutions are now active partners in real-time fraud detection. Addition, financials alert system flagged a subject before officers arrived on scene. Outcome: 133 days in jail, 18 months probation, 90 hours. Community service. Fritz and Christian were released without charges.
