Can you lower your window for me, please? >> What do you want to have? >> What? All right. So, if you have any issues about what just happened, our little transaction, you talk to my sergeant over there, okay? If you're in your feels, give me a second. >> What do you mean? I don't feel right. >> I think cuz she just said that you didn't see his lights go further on, but she just told him I wasn't trying to run from you unless she pulls me to the side, but I think >> Okay. >> Was the car registered to you? >> It was. >> It was registered to you?

Don't talk to Yo, yo, don't talk to me like I'm your man. Don't talk to me like I'm your man. I'm not your man. So, lower your voice. Lower your voice. This [ __ ] is all recorded. Do you think Do you think Eye problems don't worry for a legal tint. >> What's your first name? Tory. Listen, I understand you have eye problems, but that's something that you're going to have to get worked out with your your doctor for them to give you paperwork to get to DMV. Like if you have That's something to to do with DMV, okay? Um but first off, I'm just going to let you know now, you're going to continuously get pulled over because of your tint. This tint should never be just like how our patrol car is, it should never go past this line right here. You see that black the AS1 line? Yep, you should not Your tint should never be past that line. >> And we're supposed to be able to see it from the outside. I can't even see the AS1 line is right here. There's little letters that say AS1. >> If you go on the highway, you definitely get pulled over by FHP non-stop. And the kind of car you're driving, I'm going to tell you now, if you will get pulled over. Okay? Your tint, you're going to have to work it out. If you bought it this way, I'm going to tell you now, just go get it changed, all of it, cuz you get And I can I'll be quite quite frank, if you and whoever it is the police having a a particular banter, if that person decides they can give you a ticket for all four tickets plus that one, so that's five tickets you'll get just from >> So my window can be ticketed. >> So just know that that can happen and if you don't want to have to pay a hundred and something dollars No, I'm not saying you're No, I'm saying I'm not talking about him. I'm just talking in general, right? So if you don't want to get um ticketed for all of these these these this tint >> [music] >> you need to go see somebody to get it to the legal limit. And this thing, the front one, you will get pulled over it non-stop cuz that's the first thing we'll look for cuz we can't see in your car. So that's that You're you're already targeting yourself just like that. So it's up to you. Try to get your medical paperwork and take it to the DMV and say, "Hey, you need this because of your situation with your eyes." Any something that they can add onto your file whenever you get pulled over, but if not, you're going to get pulled over all the time, guarantee you. There's no if, ands, or buts about it, especially if you go out of town and you're driving up and down the highway. >> Yeah, I was saying I think people want 100% rated for this. >> Yeah, I mean >> People rate every single window at 10. >> This is I mean us for the most part FHP is Florida Highway Patrol, so >> That's all those guys do is write tickets. >> Where you all headed to the mall? >> To the Bahama Breeze to pick up our food. >> Oh, so your food over there getting cold. Mhm. Hope it wasn't an Empanadas. I'd hate to have to warm those up in the microwave. >> Under Terry v. Ohio, 1968, reasonable suspicion of any traffic violation authorizes an investigative stop. Floss stat section 316.29 three mandates tint must not pass. The AS1 line visible light transmittance law Fla. Stat. Section 320.02 requires current registration. Absence here provided a second independent basis. The driver's license was not suspended, it was canceled under Fla. Stat. Section 322.01 since January 2022. Cancellation is legally distinct from suspension. It represents full administrative revocation, not temporary. Under Pennsylvania v. Mims, 1977, officers may order from drivers out of the vehicle during any lawful stop. The officer's reckless driving allegation lacks on-camera evidentiary support, a contestable factual assertion Fla. Stat. Section 843.02. Resisting without violence requires obstruction of a lawful law enforcement duty. The statute does not criminalize verbal disagreement, emotional noncompliance, or asking questions. Defense counsel would argue the driver's conduct was communicative, not obstructive under Section 843.02. The officer referenced discretionary ticketing tied to driver attitude, a legally significant statement. Contempt of cop enforcement, escalating citations based on demeanor, has been rejected by federal courts. >> Okay. >> He was like, "I rolled down all the windows." And he was like, "What's with the attitude?" I said, "I don't have an attitude. I'm scared of you. I said, "I'm scared." Honestly, I was scared. I was scared. >> And she was like, "Just cuz I got pulled over." >> Okay. >> And then he was just And then when he just came up to me, I was He said he He said he tried to pull me over. I didn't see it. I just seen him right now. I said, "I didn't see you." He was like, "Don't talk to me like I'm your man." >> That was here for that part. >> I don't know how to talk to him like that. Talking to him like that. >> a regular person, a police officer. I ain't talking to my man crazy. He touched my face. That's very nice. >> Well, I would definitely address it when we're done here. >> Vehicle 46. >> Ma'am, your driver's only license. Okay. Um how long ago? >> 10-4. Stand by for a second. >> It's been It's been quite a while. >> That's why I got scared. >> All right, dispatch, I'll put her on the speaker. She said she can't have somebody come out now, but she'll have somebody come out later. I told her she can call back and we'll have three responding officers to clear the house. >> this is here for a reason. Um your your license is not only suspended, it's been canceled okay, since last year of 2022. January. On top of that, you're driving recklessly in a unregistered motor vehicle. >> Can you tell me how I was driving >> Ma'am, I don't have to explain anything to you. Ma'am. >> You don't want to say it? >> Ma'am. At this point, I don't have to explain anything to you. You have to listen to me. All right? I'm done talking. Hands on the steering wheel. Hands on the steering wheel. >> Okay, okay, I'm putting my phone over here. >> Let's go. >> You see how he's talking? You see how he's talking? You see how he's talking to me? Like, what did I do? Did I say anything wrong? He's like, "I'm done." What did I say to him? Officer, did you see that? Okay. That ain't even the problem. >> Ultimately, ma'am, you know you can't be driving. You shouldn't be behind the wheel of this car. Okay, so that's problem one. Problem two is you got soft hands. >> He is a scandal. He is talking. He is very rude. >> Your feelings. Your feelings, got it. Come on, let's go to car. Put us out with no service. No, it's not hold on. We're done here. >> I'm telling her something. >> You're resisting now. >> No, I'm not resisting. I'M TRYING TO TELL HER SOMETHING about my stuff. So, why don't you stop [ __ ] me? You have my car. >> Don't resist. Shut up and get in the car. >> Bro, you're I don't fight I'm going to do a lot of fighting when I get the [ __ ] out of jail. I'm going to fight who the [ __ ] you are. >> You're resisting. Stop resisting. >> I'm going to fight who the [ __ ] you are. I'm not resisting. I'm standing here. >> Okay, just stop. >> I'm going to kick your ass. I'm going to fight who the [ __ ] >> Let Let me pat you down and make sure you don't have anything on you, and then we'll talk about it. Hold on to this. Why do you stand for >> Palm Springs, Palm Desert, yeah. >> Can someone else talk to him? >> Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Alpha. >> It's okay, the camera will be on. >> All right. Do you want your friend to drive your car? >> No one's driving the car. >> I need to talk to her about my house, about my keys. >> Okay. Tell me what you want >> About my phone. You don't know my passcode. >> Okay, tell me what you want to tell her. Or you Or I can have a walk over here and >> Okay, I can walk over here and just take the time before he snatches me out of there. He's rude. >> Okay, one second. You have an attorney? >> Yes, absolutely. >> Roll the window down so her friend can figure out what she wants to do with her um property. >> Do you have oil? >> Huh? >> Do you have oil? My car's like jammed up. >> I know. What's his name? Randy got that stuff. >> Here's the thing. Car's not going to be driven cuz there's nothing that's registered on it. So, you need to just start working on >> What's your um Do you have her ID? >> Uh I think he does. Do you have her ID? >> Yeah, I do. >> Um >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay, she wants to tell you something about her house keys and her phone and something else. >> Okay, what is stuck? >> Yeah, you got you got oil? >> Uh I just don't have WD-40 at home. It's garbage. >> Drew, I mean not Drew, uh Randy has stuff. >> Do you want me to go to the window or something? >> Yes. >> I'm going to inventory this vehicle. >> Sorry. I just >> your drugs yet? >> Huh? >> I just balanced it. Sorry. >> It's okay. >> Do you want your drugs yet? >> No. >> I got them right here. >> If you want the phones to go with you, the phones can go with you. It's up to you cuz you're going to have to get numbers out of it when you're at the jail. She has eye problems. She cannot see. She has eye problems. >> That's not my problem. I didn't I didn't cite her for anything like that, sergeant. Um I'm taking her into jail because she was being accused of domestic violence. She's been on a suspended license for over a year and her car is unregistered. I'm sorry. She seemed scared to talk to my sergeant. I'll go 91. >> Did she know that I'm on the phone with my dad? Hello. >> 51 to jail. >> Hello. >> 107 Fox Trot 1015. Car mileage. One second. I'm on the radio. >> I feel I need I need my dress pulled down. >> I'm not touching you. >> So, walk like this? >> I'm not touching you. >> Walk like this? >> I'm not touching you because then you're going to be like, "Oh, this officer did this." This camera's rolling. I'm not touching Turn around and walk. Turn around and walk. I'm not touching you. I'm not looking at you. I'm not touching you. Fix yourself. Camera's rolling. >> The companion statement, "I'mma find who you are." raises analysis under Virginia v. Black, 2003. Under that framework, a true threat requires intent to place the target in fear of serious bodily harm. Courts frequently classify post-arrest venting as protected expression under City of Houston versus Hill, 1987. The officer's use of a homophobic slur during transport is documented. Misconduct provocation is not a defense. Flaw. Stat. Section 943.13 sets minimum standards of conduct. Derogatory language toward arrestees violates that standard. This moment creates exposure for Section litigation regardless of the arrest's legal validity. Vehicle inventory was lawful. South Dakota versus Opperman, 1976 authorizes warrantless inventory search incident to impound. Miranda was not required here. Berkemer versus McCarty, 1984 holds routine traffic stops are non-custodial. Miranda attaches upon arrest. Any post-arrest statements without advisement would face suppression challenge. >> Is it okay? This way. Primary officer grade, C+. Stop legally valid. Tint and registration law applied accurately. License status correctly identified. However, informal address implied attitude-based enforcement and a documented homophobic slur constitute misconduct. Legally competent, professionally deficient. Civil liability risk is real and documented on body cam. Sergeant grade, B. Arrived, listened, accommodated the driver's property request. Effective de-escalation at a critical moment. Did not address the primary officer's conduct on camera. A supervisor intervention would have been appropriate. Driver Tory grade, C. Knowingly operated a canceled license vehicle, unregistered, for over a year. That is the legal baseline. Initial compliance was correct. Verbal escalation throughout the stop compounded an already difficult situation, invoking the right to silence and requesting a supervisor earlier would have been the legally optimal strategy. Key lessons for officers, a valid arrest does not shield unprofessional conduct. The body cam documents both simultaneously. Derogatory language creates Section 1983 exposure independent of the underlying arrest's constitutionality. For citizens, the roadside is not the place to litigate. Comply, document, challenge in court in that order. Emotional escalation, however justified, reduces credibility and complicates future legal remedies. Administrative license issues do not resolve themselves. Unresolved, they guarantee future enforcement contact.
