and enforcing the laws that we're employed to do. >> You're enforcing Satan's law. >> On August 21st, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, a traffic stop became a textbook sovereign citizen encounter and ended with 180 days in jail. The stop was lawful from the first second. Florida statute section 316.189 grants enhanced enforcement authority in school zones. The driver was doing 34 and a 20. Clear probable cause. No legal ambiguity. Hello. How are you? >> Hey, how are you? >> Hey, I'm officer Ros traffic. The reason I stopped you in 34 through the school zone. The speed limit is 20. You were 14 miles an hour. The speed limit. Okay. You got your license, registration, proof of insurance, will you? >> Um, actually diplomatic. >> Huh? >> I'm actually >> What? For what? Do you have your driver's license? Do you have a driver's license? >> Do you have your driver's license? I need your driver's license. Okay. >> Am I being um >> Yes, you are. >> Okay. Then, can you read me? >> Dispatch from Tango 55. >> Can you read? >> We're not going to play the sovereign game. Okay. Can I get a routine 44 and be 102 sovereign? >> May I please have your driver's license? If I'm being detained, then I have to >> I'm in custodial arrest. I understand that invoke my right to >> ma'am. We're not playing the sovereign game, okay? >> I need your driver's license. If not you, I'm going to remove you from the vehicle and you're going to go to jail. All right? Please hand me your driver's license. I've asked you three or four times now. Okay? Please hand me your driver's license. Can I please speak with your uh the whoever your um whoever's over you, please? >> You would like to speak with a supervisor? >> Supervisor? >> Yes, I can get one of those here. But can I please have your driver's license? >> I like to speak with >> I like to speak with >> I understand that, but he's not he's going to tell you the same thing I am. Okay. >> I like to dispatch 105. >> I'm going to try May I also have a supervisor 51, please? Thank you. >> Okay, so let's do this. I've done everything you've asked. Now, please hand me your driver's license. >> Are you refusing to identify yourself to me? Driving is a privilege in this state. It is not a right. I understand you're going to say you have the right to travel, all that stuff. Okay. But driving on the public roadways is a privilege. By that privilege, you have to have a driver's license with you. So, I'm asking you to give me your driver's license. >> Okay, I understand that. But I I need your driver's license. I'm trying to be as nice as I can. >> I'm giving you every opportunity to give me your driver's license. Okay. So, >> do you have a driver's license? >> Can I have my >> This? No. No, I'm going to hang on to this now in case something happens. So, if this at least has your name on it, then >> that's okay. All right, that's fine. I'm going to hang on to it for right now, then. All right. So, what I'm asking you is a driver. Do you have a driver's license? >> I can't I can't hear you. I'm sorry. >> If I'm under custodial arrest, then I'd like to remain silent. >> You're just being detained right now for a traffic violation. It's a civil infraction is all it is. So, >> custodial arrest. >> So, what I'm saying is you can give me your driver's license. I can issue a citation. You can be about your way. If not, we'll have to go down a different route. And I've already explained to you what that route is. Okay. So, >> I'm going to remain. >> Okay, that's fine. So, you just don't you're not going to give me your driver's license, nothing like that. >> Okay. All right. We'll just wait for somebody else to get here. Okay, then. >> All right. So, so per your request, the supervisor is here. Okay. So, he's actually walking up now. All right. So, here he is. >> Good morning, Parker. On purpose, how can I help today? >> Good morning. Um the this officer here, he pulled me over and then he asked me um for a driver's license and I explained that I diplomat and I gave him an identification for myself and >> he is continually insisting. >> I give him a driver's license, like I said, diplomat and then it has under arrest. So am I free to go? And he said that being detained. So I assume that that's under civil rights. So I'd like to the right to remain silent. >> Okay. So you don't want to have anything else to say? >> Did you want to identify yourself to this officer then or with the driver? >> This is not a valid identification card, man. >> It's not a valid identification card. >> Okay. Let's not recognize in the state of Florida. >> I'm not in the state of Florida's jurisdiction. >> Okay. Okay. Good. Would you like to step out of the vehicle? Would you like us to pull you out because we're going to be under arrest because you're not identifying yourself as violent identification. >> Okay. I'm letting you know what's going to happen. I'm giving you the option to step out so it's less violent. >> Hey. Hey. What are you Stop. Don't be reaching for stuff. Don't Don't be reaching for stuff. >> So, you'd like to provide actual identification now? >> Well, I'm not under the state. Well, passport would be considered illegal documentation, not for driving a vehicle, but it at least identify you >> because it's recognized by we're trying to identify you. >> Okay, that's not a recognized that you can put whatever name you want in that type of identification. So, you have a you have a United States passport >> because you've been pulled over for a traffic stop. >> As I explained to you, you're doing 34 miles an hour in a school zone with a posted speed limit of 20. You were 14 mph over the speed limit. That was the reason that I stopped you. >> What's your name and >> that's officer Mo's EID 1280. Okay. >> I'm Sergeant Birds 1321. >> I would prefer you don't start reaching for stuff. Do you have any weapons in the vehicle? >> Okay. Do you have a name and date of birth you'd like to provide for the Can you stop reaching for stuff? >> Just Do you have a name and date of birth you'd like to give this officer? >> Um, my ticket. >> It's not valid, ma'am. We've already told you that. Okay. >> Okay. >> Ma'am, this is not a valid identification card. This was it's not this is not recognized by the state of Florida. Okay. This is not a valid ID. Okay. So, just you want to go that route. You want to give me your name and date of birth. >> I'm not a very patient person in general. I don't really need to be cuz we've given you opportunity to provide this information and you're basically saying you don't recognize it. So, we can either ask you to step out of the vehicle or I'm going to pull you out of the vehicle and I have no problem with that and you'll be under arrest. Okay? So, to save the heartache of maybe even breaking this window cuz we don't want to have to do that either, you can step out of the vehicle and save yourself some time. >> Go ahead and step out for us. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I've already explained everything to you, but I'd like you to step out before we continue. >> So, go ahead and do that for me, please. >> Turn your vehicle off for me. >> Okay. Turn your vehicle off. >> Turn your vehicle off for me. Step out. Okay. Just turn your vehicle off. >> Just turn your vehicle off. Okay. >> Come on. Just step out of the vehicle. Okay. Come on. Turn your vehicle off for me. All right. Come on. Okay. Well, come on. Let's just hop out. Just step out for me. Okay. >> Step out. We ended up taking the phone and setting it down. >> Yep. Go ahead and put your hands behind your back right here. >> You got it. >> Okay. No, I mean that's not a crime. I didn't do anything. >> You recognize the state of Florida's authority over whatever your your >> state of Florida does require a driver's license >> 54 55 alpha >> or travel on a motor vehicle, whatever verb you want. >> Come back here for me. >> Providing that you're driving. >> Sit right here. Sit on your bumper for me. Okay. Sit right here. Lean against your car. >> I just explained that to you. Which words did you not understand of that sentence? I don't understand why I'm being arrested. >> Okay. So, the part where I just explained it to you where you're driving a motor vehicle and not having a valid license in the state of Florida. >> Besides your reasonings for not recognizing that law and authority, is there any other reason why you may not understand that sentence? >> I'm not in that jurisdiction. >> Okay. Besides that, because I realize you don't recognize our jurisdiction >> because if you don't recognize the jurisdiction, you're not going to recognize the law and you're not going to understand why you're being arrested. And I can't explain it to you. >> I didn't injure anyone. >> I follow God's law, the Bible, >> common law. That's what that's what everything is based off of is God. >> I'm just going to have her hang her till Angie gets here. I'm not going to put her back in his car cuz we haven't had her down or nothing yet. So, >> okay. >> As soon as she gets here. All right. Yeah. >> The only reason you're being arrested right now >> is for driving a motor vehicle without a license. >> If you can't resisting without because you didn't identify yourself to me. >> That's fine. I I understand that you can't comprehend that law. >> I haven't never said that. >> I have eight kids. >> I don't see any of them. >> I have eight kids. >> Okay. >> I didn't do anything. Like I'm a good mom and I didn't do anything. I was literally just >> I haven't called you a bad mom and I haven't said you're a bad person. But there is a law in the state of Florida. Okay. But we enforce Florida law. And just because you don't recognize Florida law doesn't mean that we can't enforce it. this part or did they just fast forward to the court where everything got dropped and magically went away? >> This is biblical. >> Oh, I I don't remember motor vehicles covered in the Bible. It's been a while since I read it though. >> Being imprisoned is biblical. Being imprisoned for following God is biblical. >> Okay. But >> do you believe in Bible? >> Sure. And I've read it a couple times. >> I don't remember. >> Here's the thing. You're not you're not being arrested for following God. You're being arrested for refusing to identify yourself to me. That's why you're being arrested. Okay? I'm standing on the truth that I'm following God's law and not people's law. And >> well, we are not judge and we're not executioners. We're simply abiding and enforcing the laws that we're employed to do. >> You're enforcing Satan's law. >> The driver produced a diplomatic passport from a group called the MC Coalition bought online. Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, Article 29, immunity is granted only by recognized sovereign governments. A private internet group cannot issue it. The passport listed her nationality as quote piccolletarian that is not recognized under any international treaty or law. The document had no legal weight. Officers identified it as fraudulent on contact and they were correct. Before any arrest, she claimed custodial arrest and invoked the right to remain silent. That is wrong on the law. In Burkimer versus McCarti 468US420 1984, the Supreme Court held a traffic stop is not custodial. Miranda does not trigger until formal arrest. The exit order was fully authorized. Pennsylvania versus Mims. 434US106 1977. During any lawful stop, officers may order the driver to exit as a matter of course. No additional justification is required beyond the stop itself. After the arrest, officers found a suspended Florida driver's license in her wallet. Confirmed under section 322.34. She had surrendered it in February and drove anyway. That knowledge element converts the offense from a civil infraction to a criminal charge. The resisting charge falls under Florida statute section 843.02, covering sustained refusal to comply with lawful commands. She refused to identify, refused to produce a license, and refused to exit for nearly 8 minutes. Every element was captured on camera. >> So, remember when I told you that driving is a privilege in the state of Florida? It's not a right. So in the state of Florida, it's a it's a privilege. >> God said God said subdue the earth. >> I don't think God talked about driving vehicles. >> God said subdue the earth. Do you know what that means? >> To do the earth. >> Subdue the earth. He mean he means to travel over the earth and to be >> you can travel over the earth all you want. You just can't travel in a motor vehicle. You can travel by plane, train, horseback, bicycle, scooter. But to travel on these roadways in a vehicle, it is a privilege. The state of Florida pays for these roadways. The c the municipalities pay for these roadways. That's it. That is you can travel. You just can't travel in a vehicle. That is driving. And you cannot drive on our roadways unless you abide by the laws. It's that it's that simple. Okay? You can travel. You have the right to travel. You can travel to a different city, a different county, a different state, all over the United States, but just not in a vehicle unless you do it the right way. >> Do I have any due process to have someone all the due process you want? I am a huge fan of due process. Okay. >> Someone come pick this up? >> Nope. Nobody's going to come pick this up. That you're being arrested. So your vehicle is going to be towed incident to arrest. Okay. >> Your vehicle is going to be towed and it's going to be inventoried. >> Your due process is will come when you at your time in court. Okay. That's when your due due process will come. >> But it's not mine. >> The vehicle is not yours. Then the registered owner can come pick it up. That's fine. >> Then can I call them? >> We will notify them. Yes. What is their phone number? >> 5789. And if that number doesn't work, then um the mom is um >> what's their name? >> Carlos. And then if that doesn't work, the mom is um >> 54 >> 407. >> What's that person name? >> Loops. L. >> Okay. >> All right. This is Officer Quantero. She's going to go ahead and search you real quick. Okay. Before we put you in back of a vehicle. All right. So, she's going to go ahead and do that. >> Please leave my property in my car. >> I'm not going to take your property. I'm just going to inventory your vehicle cuz we're towing it. >> Please don't search it. >> Hey, lean against the card. Where are you going? Let him. He's going to search it regardless. Okay. against the car. >> So, you've had a Florida license before, but then you all of a sudden only followed God's law, but did recognize Florida law before >> cuz it got suspended in February suspended without the license and that exalted in Florida law jurisdiction. Did you know your license was suspended? >> Turned it in. Whatever. >> Oh, okay. >> Is that it right there? >> Yeah. >> The the voluntarily turned in just right there. >> Then why do you have it? >> I voluntarily turned my >> So, yeah, you voluntarily turned it in, but you kept this. >> So, you knew this was So, you knew you didn't have a driver's license and you kept it. You can go get an identification card, >> but you knew this was suspended. >> I had two. I found that one out. >> Why didn't you go turn this one in then? >> I haven't had a time yet. Oh, okay. All right. >> Where did she get this? >> Where'd you get this? >> 27298. >> That's my >> 272. >> She asked where you >> I got it from >> my nation. >> From where? >> The MC Coalition >> online. >> The MC Coalition. My nation. >> Yeah. But where'd you get it? Is it like a place? >> You want me to play Mark? >> Yeah, if you would. >> Diplomatic passport. I got >> I'm going to see my pickup truck. Matter of >> fact, you can stay here. Put my pick truck up. Watch it real quick. >> Okay. >> What's a Pletarian? That's your nationality. >> What is that? Pletarian. You didn't have time to put your license plate on. >> This isn't my vehicle. >> How's Carlos related to you? You have his ID in your wallet or his driver's license. They match it. So, I'm assuming she got same Go ahead. Come here. Hold on one second. What's a current address for you? >> Oh, I don't >> Is it South John Young Parkway? Is that where you live now? >> I don't know. >> Where do you live? Where do you rest your head at night? Where do you sleep? >> God's land. >> Huh? >> On God's land. >> Okay. So, which one is So, Orlando or is it the the one on South Johnny Parkway? Is that where you live? South JP. >> I don't have an address. >> Okay. All right. Do you have a phone number? >> I don't have a phone. >> You don't have a phone number either? Okay. All right. Thank you. >> I'm assuming it's going to be the South John Young Parkway address. It's on all these. >> Well, she's got all this certified mail stuff in here, which would lead me to believe. And then the diplomatic plate in the back. >> Yeah. So >> soon as I walked up and she said I'm just I forget what she said like three words and I was like oh here we go. >> What' she say? >> That she handed me the diplomatic ID first and as soon as I saw that I knew. And then she just started saying that >> is she being detained? You know your typical just your run-of-the-mill stuff. So, I'm going to guess this is her current address cuz she has a return here. Sweet. >> She did voluntarily surrender her license. I ran around, too. >> Sounds like she knew her license was suspended while she was driving or no, I mean, >> she knows she voluntarily turned it in. >> Yeah. So, drive license suspended, canceled or revoked. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That's it. >> You want to transport her down there for me? >> Yeah. >> Appreciate it. >> Oh, man. I don't have Um, you can just put that in her. Well, >> I mean, it's not even a real ID, >> right? What about the one on you? >> This is her. This is actually her. So, >> no, we can't leave anything in the car. >> It's going to go with you. >> No, it's it's against our policy. We don't leave anything valuable in the vehicle while it's being told. >> I'm getting permission to please and they're not being told it. It's getting towed. >> It's getting towed. You're being arrested. So, your vehicle is being told right now. >> Yeah. The registered owner can pick it up from the toward. >> He told you that? >> I know. No, they said that he they would call him pick it up. >> No, cuz they will call him after the vehicle gets towed. >> They said they would call him right now. >> That's what they just said. The supervisor. >> I feel like I'm not speaking English. Maybe you can explain this. >> What's up? Well, the supervisor just said that you guys would do give me two crosses and that you call the register. >> Yeah, I will call him and say, "Hey, this is where your car is at." That's what I'm going to say. I'm not going to say, "Hey, come pick your car up." I'm going to say, "Hey, your car has been towed for you allowing somebody without a driver's license to be driving it." And I'm sure he knows your license is not valid. So therefore, if he shows up here, I could take him to jail for him allowing you to drive the vehicle while your license suspended. So, the car is being towed. End of conversation. out. >> Officer Rosalyn receives a B+. The identification request was grounded in Florida statute section 322.03. She held composure through a prolonged combative encounter without escalating to force before it was warranted. One mark against her on camera. She said, quote, "We are not going to play the sovereign game." That is the kind of line a defense attorney clips and plays for a jury. Neutral phrasing on body cam is always the correct call. otherwise a strong performance. Sergeant Bson receives an A minus. He confirmed the fraudulent document immediately and drew a precise line between the constitutional right to travel and the state regulated privilege of operating a motor vehicle. That distinction is not always delivered clearly under pressure. His sharpest observation, she held a valid Florida license until February. Her license was not suspended because she transcended jurisdiction. The state pulled it. That single point dismantled her entire legal argument. The subject receives a D. She drove on a suspended license, presented a fraudulent document, refused lawful commands for nearly 8 minutes, and received 180 days in jail. Sovereign citizen ideology provided zero legal protection. Five lessons come out of this footage. They apply anytime someone substitutes online ideology for an actual understanding of US law. Each one is grounded in statute and case law, not opinion. Lesson one, a traffic stop is not a custodial arrest. Miranda does not apply. The Supreme Court settled this in Burkimer versus McCarti in 1984. A detention and a custodial arrest are legally distinct and that distinction matters. Lesson two, diplomatic immunity requires a real sovereign government. The Vienna Convention is clear. No online group, no private organization, and no self-declaration can create diplomatic status. There is no workaround. There has never been one. Lesson three, surrendering your license does not suspend the requirement to have one. under Florida statute section 322.34. Knowingly driving on an invalid license is a criminal offense. She surrendered it herself. The knowledge element was locked in that moment. Lesson four. Officers may order you out of your vehicle during any lawful stop. Pennsylvania versus Mims, 1977. Refusing that order is not asserting a right. It is resisting a lawful command and it adds charges on top of the original stop. Lesson five. Sovereign citizen videos that end in dismissed charges skip the beginning of the story. The arrest, the booking, the proceedings. This footage is that beginning. 180 days is what the full picture looks like. No US court at any level has accepted a sovereign citizen argument as a valid legal defense. The Department of Justice has formally classified the movement as a domestic extremist threat. It is not a legal strategy. It is a path to incarceration. The law does not bend because someone believes it does not apply to them. Courts have rejected that argument consistently at every level for decades. Sincerity is not a defense. This case is one more data point in a very long record.
