Well, why did you stop me? I just told you three times. Your license plate is tucked up into your Mercedes symbol. So, that is what Orlando Police Department stopped a cardiothoracic surgeon on his way from the hospital. Uh-huh. Right? Just because you don't like the Mercedes, you don't like the face, and my plate is colored which I don't even know because this is a brand new car. Okay.

So, she said that she is a surgeon at Advent Health. Mhm. And she just said that she got a text from the hospital that her patient is dying and that she needs to I guess respond immediately. >> She's got to wait for the supervisor. Okay. Well, you got to give us some time so we can finish up our situation here and then as soon as we're done, you'll be on your way. Okay. Well, we're in the middle of the traffic stop.

So, I just put the gas. She is following me from the gas station to whatever city that she is in. >> Yeah. It was a guy, a black guy. Okay. Next to me, very near, you know, a junk car. And he he put down the window and he was staring at me and I didn't pay any attention. And listening to music just to be distracted. Yeah. He was insistent. There was a red light as you know, just today. That's where she started to basically follow me like 1 inch behind me. Yeah, okay. And um it So, I put down the window and the guy told me, "Look, you're losing air from your tire right there." Okay. And I I I noticed from the front tires. Sure, sure. He was trying to maybe make a contact. I don't know. Okay. Meanwhile, I already been green light, you know, on the thing. Maybe I was 15 seconds late because the guy was talking to me. I was talking to him. And so, she got upset. I don't know what what the story was. So, I just took off. No speed, no nothing. Yeah. Very calm. And she started to like drive me like this close to me. Yeah, yeah. And I just pushed the brake. I said, "What are you?" Because you know, she's got an unmarked car. I didn't know it was an unmarked car. Yeah, sure. And she just turned the blue light. Okay. I said, "Me? What did I do?" Right. So, I stopped in here and she started to attack me. Completely. What do you When you say attack, what do you mean by attack? >> Attack with a verbal attack, of course, you know, not physical. What what did she say to you? >> Well, first I said, "Okay, officer. I'm here. I was still I had a wonderful day." I said, "I'm here. What did I do wrong?" "I'm I will not tell you. You have to give me your registration." I said, "Okay, fine. Here's my Do you have a license?" "Why do you have two driver's licenses?" One is my male. I'm a female. Surgery. Okay. Sex reassignment. I don't have to explain that. Sure, yeah. Okay. And then I keep it because sometimes, you know, this my male name. So, there is something noted on the driver on the motor vehicle that you guys can see. Okay. I said, "It's none of your business why I do have them." Yeah. "I can arrest you for that." So, I called your supervisor because I think you're very aggressive. Yeah. And you know, I noticed maybe she was having some problems, you know. I have no idea. I have no clue okay, why she stopped me. But you'll be surprised with all this that she got so pissed off with me. Yeah. It's because I was slowing and the guy told me that I was losing air from my tire. I didn't do nothing else. Right, right. Now, the guy was just She I had the documentation. I broke the glove compartment because she was insistent with the hands on the gun. Okay. I'm not I'm not used to these things. I I I understand. And I understand I have a deep respect for the law enforcement. Sure, okay. I served, okay, as a lawyer. Long time ago. I was a criminal myself. I'm 62. I said, "I see this." But I was in Lebanon. I was everywhere. I have never experienced this in my life. Okay. But it is very normal for a cisgender woman to treat somebody like me this way. And I understand it. What I have is a want. Let's >> It's not a need. Let's And I know my place. Let's let's reset it here. Okay, I didn't catch your name. What what was your first name? My first name is Maria Luisa.

Do you know Josh? I come from a family of artists. Do you know Josh? Josh I I believe I do. I know the name. He's the president of the Dr. Phillips. Excellent. Or maybe he's a a I'm the president of the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. And this person is treating me like I'm a piece of crap. Okay. I maybe I'm overreacting. I don't know. I I I think Maybe I do. I think maybe you guys got off on the wrong foot. So, let me let me let's let's reset it here and just kind of kind of go back. Okay, so the reason you got pulled over, I understand it's a new car, you know, you're >> Yeah. you there's >> Well, my the my You don't have everything situated yet. It takes No, no, I got the documentation because you know, CarMax just sent me the car. It just arrived yesterday. Well, >> put the gas on it. So, she wasn't able to see the tag and if she's anything like me, I have I have terrible vision. So, I have to when I'm when I'm trying to read a tag and I'm behind somebody, I have to I have to literally get on their bumpers so I can see. There was no stop. I was doing it out of transparent. I was in Missouri in Columbia at the University of of Missouri. Uh-huh. And uh one of the fellowship I got this car. I got rid of it. So, I bought from you. Sure. No, I can't. I already promised to CarMax whatever. And I love it because I like the car. I always wanted a car like that. But then I left. So, I bought this car in September. And and so, CarMax did all the paperwork and then finally I had time for them to ship me the car. And the car was shipped arrived yesterday, exactly yesterday, Saturday at 6:00 6:25 p.m. Okay. And so, I I noticed that there was a spider, you know, the the temporary tag just stuck like that. I just went to put the gas because it was a Yeah, I see it. All right. Nothing else. I don't want you to get hit. So, anyway, so I I I don't want you to feel like you were targeted or anything like that. >> Well, I know. But that's how to me that's how it feels. She wasn't able to see your tag. That was the reason for the stop. Uh you you actually you actually aren't allowed to have more than one driver's license. It's not a driver's license. It's it's an ID. Okay. And I have an ID at home. Yeah, you're not allowed to have two driver's licenses. No, no, no. It's an ID. It's a state ID. And I'm not sure you know, I don't think she was trying to push that issue with you. And I think she was just trying to explain it. >> why we have to stop this way. I was very nice. I don't understand that. I understand. >> I just don't understand. You know how many times you know Keep in mind. So, she's one of our She works She's a tag officer.

So, you understand a little bit. I mean, I I didn't want to you know We have We have no place to put our hands here. So, sometimes sometimes, you know, you have to just it's like a it's a habit. So, >> I overreacted because I said, "What what the hell did I do?" I did not know that the plate could not be seen. Yeah. Because I just turned the camera and I just broke my glove compartment. She was insistent. I just pulled it out. I don't even know what she said or what not. But then I noticed that basically the the plate went, you know, when you do the the air. Yeah. I did that. That's all. I did not know that. If If I would not If I would have known that, I would have fixed it when I put the gas on the car. Yeah. I mean, you know, that's the only thing. I I understand. I mean, she's she's doing her job. She's trying to She's trying to you know, enforce compliance with the law and I respect you. You know, I understand that you just got the car. So, >> I understand that, you know, there are But you also have to see the record of the person that you stop. I mean, he's got a you know, Okay. Let me get >> I I didn't get a ticket here.
