The reason why you're handcuffed right now is like I told you you're doing 117. >> Yeah, I literally never go I have zero speeding tickets. >> On July 12th, 2025 in the Largo, Florida area, a driver was clocked at 117 mph, arrested on the scene, and her husband was released to drive the car home. This is a legal breakdown of every decision made in that 14-minute encounter. Florida Statute Section 316.183 subsection 3 sets a hard criminal threshold at 100 miles per hour or 50 above the posted limit. At 117, this driver cleared both. That makes this a misdemeanor with mandatory court appearance, not a civil fine. >> 50 581. >> Copy Timothy. >> South by 19 flight tag. Charlie Yankee Charlie Adam Robert ocean cycer incident aside. Oh my god. >> Need a license? >> Uh, do you want to just take it? >> Let me get your license first. I'm off your by the way. I'm off to you guys by the way. The reason I'm stopping you. You know how fast you're going there on 19. >> What's that? >> You know that fast? You want me to tell you how fast you're going? 117. 117. Why are you going so fast? Do me a favor. Pull up at Pull up in the Congo River parking lot there. Hey, can I get one more? >> Can I get one more? I'll be in the uh Congo River parking lot. You have the registration insurance for the vehicle. >> You still have any new furniture there? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right, there's a guy right back there. You guys take this off. How old are you? >> I dropped my phone. >> You won't get all that stuff. Okay. >> Don't walk over here. Okay. All right. The reason why you're handcuffed right now is that like I told you, you're doing 117. >> Yeah. I literally never go. I have zero speeding tickets. I >> at 117 mph, >> right? Do you know they just pass the law, right? >> No, I'm not aware. >> Okay, so anything over 100 miles an hour or 50 mi above this the speed limit. It's a misdemeanor. Okay, you understand that, right? >> So, what does that mean? >> You're being arrested for your speed limit. Okay. >> All right. Come on. It's on a joke. Okay. 117. You're You're passing that car. You're in that You're in the far left angling that car 117 mph. >> Sorry. >> Just cuz you're having fun. >> I understand. >> Okay. >> The fourth amendment governs the stop. Pennsylvania versus Mims authorizes ordering the driver out during any lawful stop. Atwater versus city of Lago Vista confirms that a misdemeanor traffic arrest does not violate the Fourth Amendment. Both holdings apply here. The most significant decision here was quiet. Florida statute section 316.1 91 permits arresting all occupants in an exhibition of speed scenario. The officer declined. He applied only the dangerous speed statute limiting exposure to the driver alone. That is proportional enforcement, not a personal favor. Miranda versus Arizona 384 US436 1966 requires advisement before custodial interrogation. Burkimer versus McCarti 468US420 1984 establishes that a traffic stop is not custody. Miranda was delivered after formal arrest before any post arrest questioning sequence correct. The one technical issue is Miranda phrasing. The officer said as an explainer the standard form is as I have explained them. That deviation is minor but custody advisements are examined closely in suppression hearings. Imprecise language invites scrutiny. A cleaner delivery would have avoided. The search is grounded in Kimmel versus California. 395US752 1969. Officers may search a lawfully arrested person. The contraband advisement before the search is accurate Florida law and it is on camera. Both elements are legally clean. >> Wait, why is he being arrested? >> Oh, well, everything's quite bad. Oh, did they leave the car on? >> Well, should I have the keys in there? >> Um Um I don't know. >> Is it Whose car is it? >> I think it is. >> It's your car, right? >> Yeah, it's my car. >> Okay. >> Should be in there. >> All right. Is there anything on you? >> Cuz I'm going to have to come to you. >> Okay. >> There's nothing on you. >> No, I prefer >> So, who is that to you? >> That's my husband. >> That's your husband. All right. Did you feel like you slow down or >> um Yeah, >> you did. I mean, there's >> an hour. It's fast. >> Okay. There's not a place to do it. All right. If you want to go that fast, there's a there's a racetrack for that kind of stuff. Okay. >> Yeah. We we know. Um >> All right. Cuz what you're doing is it's racing, too. Okay. It's considered racing. You're expedition of a speed, right? >> Sorry. I I really wasn't aware. I I literally never go fast. Nothing >> happened. >> All right. Well, just hang tight. >> Um, I have a question. Um, why is he getting arrested? >> Because everybody in the car for racing it goes to jail. Okay. I'm going to go talk to him here in a second. Um, but that's how it is. It doesn't matter. People can you could they be sitting on the side of the street watching racing. They can go to jail. Okay. >> But does that are we like actually going to jail or is it like >> bond out type of situation? >> No, you're going to jail. >> Okay. >> Just hang tight. I'll come back and talk to you in a second. Hi, how are you? I'm officer Takakota Police Department. I'm here just to conduct your search. Okay. Do you mind stepping out for me? Have you vehicle and take a step away from the car and widen your stance for me? Anything on your personal should. All right. I give everybody this discretion, okay? So, don't take it personally. Any anything on you at all whatsoever, okay? Any introduction of contraband to the jail is an additional felony. I'll be happy to charge you with it if they find anything. So, that's why we like to give everybody up. Okay. All right. Um, I'm just going to read you something real quick. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can will be used against the court law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer. Have a member present with your view in question. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questions of your relationship. Anytime exercise these rights, not answering the questions or make any statements. Do you understand these rights I've explained? Is it a verbal yes or no? >> Okay. So, um like I explained to him um cuz you guys got dogs at home and he's got a license. He's a registered. I'm let him take the car home. Okay. Um so you guys can so he can take care of the dog. Okay. um this that speed not the place you want it. Okay? Because if somebody pulled out in front of you or something like that at speed, you can really hurt somebody really bad. Okay? I don't think you want that under conscious. Right. Right. It's you. It's you. Okay. No, I don't. >> Okay. You seem like a good person. you think you just made a bad choice today. Okay, like I said, they just passed this new law. They're not playing around with these speeds anymore. Okay, like I said, anything over 100 miles an hour or anything 50 mi above the posted speed. Okay, um you're looking at jail time. Okay, so um I got to do some paperwork. You got to get that citation for me. Um I'm not going to do the racing statue. I'm just going to do the dangerous speed statue. one over 100 milesPH 50 m above the closest if I decided to do the racing charge. Um I could take both of you together. Um where where were you guys coming from? >> Our house. >> Your house. Where were you guys headed to? >> We're going to go We're trying to buy something on Facebook Marketplace. So we're heading towards this house in Largo. >> Down in Fargo. You're going to get a ticket today. Okay. Hopefully this will be your last one. All right. All right. Um, you have any questions for me? >> Yeah. Was relocate her to the target over here? >> No, just over here. >> Yeah. Whatever. >> All right. Um, wait a sec. Go do you're going to get a citation. I'm going to put your ID back in there. Okay. >> And have the phone number in there? >> Yes, with the floor number. >> All right. And do I get that when I get there? >> Um, yeah. Just let them know you have a phone number. They should give it to you. Um, that's why they might let you write it down. I don't I don't know when you get down there. Okay. The library ID, it's going to be on its own. Okay. >> You have any other questions for you. Heat up here. [screaming] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Let's go [screaming] [screaming] prestag. Give me the arresting officer receives a B+. Stop lawful. Arrest lawful. Miranda timely. Charging decision proportional. His on camera articulation of the statute and his specific charging rationale leaves a defense attorney very little to work with. The Miranda phrasing is the only deduction. Officer Taylor receives an A. She introduced herself by name, delivered the contraband advisement accurately before the search and completed the pat down without incident. Nothing to criticize. That is how a search incident to arrest should be executed on camera. The driver receives a B. Fully compliant license provided. Exit followed. No resistance, full cooperation with the search. The deduction is for continuing to speak voluntarily after Miranda. That is not a legal violation. It is a self-inflicted evidentiary record. The passenger receives an A minus. Calm, no interference, no hostility. The deduction is for asking, "Are we actually going to jail mid arrest?" Natural reaction, but it adds pressure to a stable scene that did not need it. This encounter works as a teaching case precisely because it is procedurally clean. no force issues, no constitutional violations, no exploitable gaps. What it offers instead are five narrow legal points that apply anytime a vehicle is stopped above 100 m hour. Lesson one, 100 mph is a criminal threshold under Florida statute section 316.183 subsection 3. Not a higher civil fine, not a more expensive ticket, a misdemeanor with mandatory court appearance. The legal classification changes entirely at that number. Lesson two, charging discretion is a legal instrument, not a favor. Declining to invoke the exhibition of speed statute directly controls the legal exposure of every person in the vehicle. Passengers rarely realize their fate can turn on a single charging decision. Lesson three, Miranda is arrest triggered, not question triggered. Burkimer versus McCarti established that clearly. Once cuffs are on and the advisement is read, the right to remain silent exists for a practical reason. Continuing to explain yourself voluntarily after that point does not help. It builds the prosecution's case for them. Lesson four, on camera legal articulation limits suppression arguments. When an officer states the applicable statute, the numerical threshold, and his specific charging decision on video, he has pre-answered most defense motions before they are filed. Clarity on camera is a durable form of legal protection for the case itself. Lesson five. The contraband advisement is an evidentiary safeguard. Delivered clearly on camera and verbally acknowledged before the search. It protects the admissibility of anything discovered at booking. Skipping it or rushing through it creates a vulnerability that had no reason to exist. This stop produced a durable arrest because the officer knew the statute, communicated it on camera, made a deliberate charging decision, and completed Miranda and the search without shortcuts. Precision, proportionality, and documentation. That combination is what carries a case from the street to the courtroom.
