Hi there. I do have a body camera on. So, the reason I stopped you is your plates are suspended. >> Yes, sir. I've already gotten a couple of tickets. I got in the morning. >> I got you. Do you have your license and insurance with you? My Illinois state ID. You don't have your driver's license on you? >> Not physically on me. Like I said, I lost my wallet somewhere either in the car or at the hotel while we were getting ready to come out today. So, do you not have a state driver's license? Not >> Okay. I'm going to take a picture of this real quick on my work phone. Okay. >> Yes, sir. It just sound like he was probably not such a guy in here. >> All right, there's that for you. >> That's right. >> Do you have your previous tickets or wanted bodies? I got I can tell you this. I have I had two of them for August 6th. Matter of fact, my last incident was incident was at uh Harley-Davidson. I didn't get a chance to even explain myself before they made up the decision. They were going to tow my car. They didn't even tell me that the tow car that the tow company was on it way until after it was there. >> Hey, just hang out here for a minute. Just work on grabbing that entrance for me. Okay. He doesn't have an Illinois driver's license. He gave me a Missouri picture of one. I don't think they have insurance. They've been stopped recently for mandatory insurance. >> So, the picture of the IA he gave you is a driver's license out of Missouri. >> Yeah, I took a picture of his picture. Yeah. So, the car's registered to him. They're saying that they've been pulling for this recently. Got tickets and warnings and all the stuff. So, he says he already has court dates to go for this stuff, too. Hello, Deputy Chief Goodwin from Hama Police Department.

So, here's the deal. Officers have a job to do and they don't have the discretion at times to cut people brakes. One of these times is when you're driving with a suspended plate with no valid insurance at the time of the stop. >> So, so, so what do y'all What I see a gentleman on my right, you on my left. I'm sorry. A gentleman on my left, you on my right. What? What's going on? >> So, what's going to happen is is he told me that your driver's license is valid. However, you don't have proof of insurance and your plate is suspended. So, the state of Illinois says that you cannot drive this vehicle on the roadway. So, your vehicle is going to be towed. >> Bro, tow credit. >> What? >> What? Bro, I >> I literally just got this mother out. I promise you I have papers. I have the reinstatement and everything.

And they said they couldn't access her email to show us the proof. >> That's all I was asking for was the proof and she was trying to talk to her. >> The female went berserk. And then she grabbed the keys from him and trying to push. She started hitting him and I said, "Do not be hitting him in front of me and she tried to push him out of the way cuz she was going to jump in the driver's seat to drive off and I went to grab a hold of her and she pushed my hand away." I said, "Okay, now you're getting out of the car."

He's got a valid Missouri license, no insurance. He claimed that they're homeless and living out of their car, but yet their stuff is at a hotel somewhere. Then she claims she had paperwork. And then he's like, "No, you don't. You don't have it here." So then they lost their good. Let's get a record started and send them off to >> just want to breathe.

He was ordered to pay $390 in fines and court costs. The female suspect, Amanda, was charged with two counts of felony aggravated battery on a peace officer, resisting, and domestic battery with physical contact. She took a plea deal, pleading guilty to the resisting charge, while all other charges were dismissed. She was sentenced [music] to 2 years of probation, ordered to perform 100 hours of public service, and ordered to enroll in a partner abuse intervention program. Most people think a stop like this ends with a ticket, but in most places, it ends with a tow and a ride. Now, in Philly, when a car got towed, officers had a responsibility. You weren't just left out there. We had to take you somewhere safe. Home, a district, even public transit if you needed it. Now, think about what you just watched. This started as a toe, right? Suspended registration, no insurance, license issues. And yes, that's a bad day, but it's not life-changing. But then it turns because she starts hitting the guy and he's gripping that steering wheel like if he doesn't let go, none of this becomes real. Some people never think about this, but the moment frustration takes over, you stop managing the situation and start becoming part of the problem. Now, this could have ended simple, a story that they complained about later. Instead, it became something they had to deal with long term. So, let me ask you this and be honest. How many moments in life start small like this but become heavier because we refuse to let go when it matters
