Police respond to a residence after a homeowner calls about a female that was banging on her front door and refusing to leave. >> Reason why you keep knocking on that door? Okay, well, I need you to come over here away from the door. To what? No? Ma'am, step away from the door. >> All right, go inside. tomorrow. I don't want her here. She's been asked to leave many, many times. She doesn't want to leave. I don't want to hurt I don't want her arrested. I just want her out of here, please, and I want it noted. I want a report. You could see she's been doing this forever. I've been waiting for my glass to come in and break. She dated my son. They're not together anymore and they don't want her on my premises. This is my home. >> Okay. >> want her here and this is my son. And I don't want him coming out of here because I don't feel safe with him. with him. >> Okay. >> [clears throat] >> Ma'am, what is your name? Ma'am, what is your name? Cuz you have mental >> That's why I don't want her in trouble. I just want her to understand she's not welcome here. >> her first name? Cuz she doesn't want to answer me. Sandra? Samantha? >> Mhm. >> Samantha, are you are you hearing what she's saying? Hello. Samantha, do you have your driver's license or an ID with you? >> This is where the encounter starts changing legally. The homeowner clearly states that Samantha is not welcome on the property, giving deputies the authority to enforce a trespass warning. Officers are still trying to avoid an arrest and simply want her to leave peacefully. Instead, Samantha refuses to provide information and continues arguing. Viewers should ask themselves, when someone is given several chances to walk away, does refusing to cooperate become the real problem? >> Just for a couple of minutes till my other deputy gets here and then >> Hey Sam. >> She's going to have two routes. One, she's going to answer me or she's going to go to jail. >> Okay. >> Oh no, she's going to go to jail. >> Okay, [snorts] so please that's not what we want. >> Just give me your driver's license. >> Hey, I don't have it with me. You still need to leave. >> Well, then you need to talk to me. My stress level is at zero right now, so you can knock that crap off. I can understand how relationships and stuff like that can be very very volatile. But this is not the way to act like it cuz I'm assuming you're an adult. All right? What is your last name? Amanda, what is your last name? >> Samantha, if you keep obstructing him, he is going to put you in cuffs. Just give him the information. >> This is mom, this is ex-boyfriend and this is Oh. >> Go inside. >> It's Samantha, correct? And this is Samantha who's not wanting to answer any questions or have anything to do with police and refusing to leave with her telling her she wants her to leave. >> Samantha, you're currently trespassing. Do you have ID on you? You don't or you are you not going to provide it? >> I don't have it. >> Okay, I'm asking. Are you going to leave? >> car? Do you have your registration in your car? >> Can you run that tag right there on that car? >> She's showing about to show you her registration. >> Are you are you going to leave right now off this property? Is this her car right here? >> Yes, okay. >> Is that a yes or no? I'm not going to ask you again. >> Sam, they're not playing with you. We just want you to leave our home. We don't wish you any ill will. You're just not welcome here anymore. You need to leave. Why would you want to go and obstruct justice and get yourself into trouble when you're being given the chance by three officers to leave here who are being very respectful and calm with you and giving you the chance to go to your home and deal with whatever it is that you need to deal with today. And not be here and get yourself in trouble. It's not worth it. You just can't stay here. You can't be banging on That's going to cause you problems later. If you get arrested, then you got to go back to court. Then you're considered a stalker. Then you obstruct justice, and you're not listening to a police officer. >> Are you Are you going to want me to leave right now? >> Please leave. And do not come back. >> This is a critical moment because the deputies officially trespass Samantha on camera. She acknowledges the warning, meaning any return to the property could result in an immediate arrest. The officers carefully explain the future consequences, including court appearances and possible stalking allegations if the behavior continues. At this point, she has a clear opportunity to leave and avoid further legal trouble. Unfortunately, the situation is about to escalate dramatically. >> Is that a valid deal? >> Yes or no? >> I'm not sure. >> Okay. So, you heard her. She wants you trespassed from this point. It's on camera. If you were to come back on this property and we catch you here, you go to jail. You understand? All right. >> Thank you. >> I don't know. 33 or something like that. Trespass Samantha at 2780 this property. >> The case changes completely here. What began as a property dispute suddenly becomes a public safety concern. Listen to the urgency in the deputies' voices as they describe Samantha's driving as dangerous. Once officers activate lights and sirens, a driver is generally expected to stop safely and promptly. A situation that might have ended with a warning now carries the possibility of much more serious charges because of what happened behind the wheel. >> Go get her. >> Signal 12. >> She's going to kill somebody. >> Yep. >> Go, dude. What are you doing? >> We're slowing down. We're coming up to West Virginia Street. >> Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn the car off. Turn it off. Turn the car off. Get it out of the car. car off. >> Officer, what the [ __ ] did I do? What did I do? >> Unlock the door. >> I didn't do anything. >> Get out of the car. >> WHAT DID I DO? >> Get out of the [ __ ] car. >> Wait, what did I do? >> Give me your hand. >> What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? >> Don't move. >> What did I do? >> This is the heart of the legal dispute. Samantha insists she did not fail to yield, while officers say she ran a stop sign, squealed her tires, and continued driving for about 2 miles. Her explanation is that she was searching for a safe place to stop. The deputies argue that safer stopping locations were available earlier. The evidence would likely include body cam footage, dash cam footage, and officer testimony to determine which version is more convincing. >> What did I do? >> You ran a stop sign, squealed your tires, and you failed to yield. Now you're under arrest. >> fail to yield. >> Yes, you did. Yes, you did. >> No, I did not. When I exited the community? >> It's 10 to 10. Get up. >> What did I >> Get against the car. >> Can you guys explain to me what did I do? >> Pull over. Pull over. >> Can you guys explain to me >> I just told you what you did. >> I did not fail to yield. >> You squealed your tires in the neighborhood, you blew the stop sign. >> I squealed my >> my tires >> because my car >> pulled you over. You didn't want to stop all the way from >> Because you were >> We are 2 miles away from that. >> this entrance, that's why I stopped here. Right here by the >> You could have pulled in the gas station, the city hall parking lot, any street, the turn lane. >> But I didn't understand why you guys were coming after me. >> Okay, that's not how that works. All right, you got this one? >> Oh, yeah. >> All right. No, you're under arrest, your car's getting towed. >> Can I Can I use >> What's wrong with today? I thought that you shortened up to fit in there. All right, I'm going to read you something, then I'm going to go from there, okay? You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him or her present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning, if you wish. >> Can I ask you why are you pointing a gun at me? >> Okay, well, stop. Stop. Let me finish, okay? You can decide anytime to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights that I've explained to you? >> I just want to understand. >> Do you explain each of these rights? >> This exchange is fascinating because Samantha focuses on why a firearm was drawn instead of the Miranda warning being read to her. Legally, those are separate issues. Miranda protects her right to remain silent during questioning. While the decision to draw a weapon depends on the officer's assessment of risk. The deputies believed they had just completed a pursuit involving reckless driving. While Samantha believed she had stopped voluntarily and was being treated unfairly. >> You want me to read it again? >> No, I need to understand why you were so fast to pull a gun out on me. before me for me squealing my wheels and not knowing where to >> In the end, Samantha was charged with fleeing, resisting without violence, marijuana possession, and drug paraphernalia possession. However, she pleaded not guilty to most counts and eventually all charges, including the fleeing allegation, were dropped by the prosecutor. This case shows how quickly an emotional confrontation can escalate into a major legal situation. What do you think? Was this a misunderstanding that spiraled out of control or did Samantha create unnecessary legal trouble for herself? Like, comment, and subscribe for more courtroom breakdowns.
