The charge that defined this case was not the speeding. It was what the driver did after the car stopped.

Well, I mean, >> you just I just gauged her level of like resistance. You know what I mean? Like she got blood on there, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. She obviously wasn't trying to harm us, but you can't like resist the police when you're telling that car. But she literally just grabbed me by my arm >> as I reached the car. Like, no, we're not doing that, dude. >> What happened? >> Um, I stopped her for 150. She stopped right here. Um, walked up to the window and she had the window cracked. She presents a driver's license. I said, "Hey, step out of the car." and she uh >> start with the exit order. Under Pennsylvania versus Mims 434US S106 1977, an officer conducting any lawful traffic stop may order the driver to exit the vehicle with no additional justification required. The officer's safety interest outweighs the minimal intrusion on the driver's liberty. That is settled federal law. What that means in practice, the exit command is not a suggestion. Refusing it is not a right. It is the first element of a criminal charge under Florida law. Regardless of how the driver feels about the stop. The initial charge was Florida statute 3161896. Dangerous and excessive speeding. Operating at 100 mph in a 50 zone satisfies every element. That charge was dropped when the felony case resolved. A standard outcome when a more serious charge absorbs the disposition. The felony charge was resisting an officer with violence. Florida statute 843.01. knowingly and willfully resisting a law enforcement officer in the execution of their duties by offering or doing violence to that officer. Thirdderee felony, maximum five years. Florida courts have held that any deliberate physical act impeding a lawful extraction meets the violence threshold. The force used, breaking the window and physically removing the driver, is evaluated under Graham versus Connor 490 US386 1989. Objective reasonleness from the officer's perspective at the moment, not in hindsight. Severity of the crime, immediate threat level, and active resistance are the three factors. All three supported the force applied here. The verbal abuse throughout the encounter, including slurs and profanity directed at the officers, is protected expression under City of Houston versus Hill 482 US451, 1987. Offensive words aimed at law enforcement fall squarely within First Amendment protection. No charge can rest on speech alone and none did. The case resolved with adjudication withheld on the felony. The court found the offense was committed. The judge declined to enter a formal conviction, standard practice in Florida for defendants with limited prior records who accept responsibility. The sentence was 3 months in county jail and approximately $615 in court costs. Adjudication withheld is not an acquitt. It appears on background checks and can be used to enhance future penalties. started refusing to me and that's basically it. >> She starts refusing to get out of the car. >> She rolled up the window and the moment she rolled the window I just continuously gave her commands say get out. She said no. She starts using profanity and stuff like that. So ask her to get out. I wait for old Jacob Perry to get here. I say, "Hey, Jacob, break the window." He breaks the window. We grab her. I go to reach in the car. She grabbed me by my wrist. I then grabbed open the door and we pulled her out and we her arm got cut a little bit. That's that's it. >> Did you get cut? >> A little. Yeah. >> Just a little. >> We gave her commands before we uh broke one. I said, "Hey, >> we gave her multiple command." Like I'm not I'm not playing the command game. Like we gave I told her 15,000 times to get out of the car. She didn't want to get out. She didn't get out. Therefore, she's being arrested for batterying law enforcement, speeding 100 miles per hour, 50 mph zone, >> um resisting law enforcement, and then whatever else she has in her car. So that's what we're doing. >> Uh I made sure to get command, get out of car, get out the car. And he said, "Let's break the window." I said, "All right." I told her one more time, "Hey, don't get out of the car. I'm going to break the window." And you break the other car. Didn't do that. Broke the window. >> It's literally that easy, bro. >> That simple. Could have been avoided. >> Told her multiple times, hey, I work with the sheriff's office. You need to get out of the car. You're being stopped. You need to get out of the car. She didn't do it. So that's why that's where we're at. So now we're going to go inventory that vehicle. We're gonna have the rescue checker out. Um 10:15, we're going to tow the car and we're going to call it a day. >> That's what's going to happen. >> Resisting with Well, no. Resisting with violence, battering law enforcement. >> Did that Did that come from the glass or did that come from >> This came from me affecting my duty to take her into custody and because of her resisting. So, it's resisting with violence and then it is it's resisting with violence. It's battery on law enforcement and then it's speeding and it's that's it. That's it so far. Till we search car if we find anything else. >> It's just makeup products right here. >> Yeah. >> Probably not going to want to talk to you, sir. She used the N word on me. Hey, you haven't met me yet. What's going on? >> Sure. >> Can you do me a favor? Just take a picture of me. Go ahead. >> Just head on. >> Hang on. Hang tight. >> What an idiotic decision. How stupid. When when when you grabbed her. Did you get any of her blood on you? >> Probably. Oh, wait. No, I didn't actually. It's just That's just mine. Yeah, cuz my sleeves were down. I didn't get anything on me at all. That was mine from my hand. I didn't get any blood on me. I cut my fing I cut my hand on the glass getting her out. >> You don't have glass in your hand. Is just just a little superficial thing, >> I believe. So, yes. >> It should be all it is. 150 resisting with violence, battery on law enforcement, and uh that's it. I think I She really didn't do anything else. She has a good driver's license. Um the cars didn't What? What did she stop? >> Why didn't she? >> No, she did stop. >> Well, well, at first and then she was not. >> Yeah, she put her ID up to the damn window. >> Yeah, but no, I said, "No, we're not." I said, "Step out of the car." And she didn't want to do it. So, you didn't want to do it? Sorry. You just got arrested. What's up? >> I told her, "Hey, you're going to arrest G." She's like, "No." >> I'm like, "Oh, okay." She kept calling me a piece of [ __ ] And I was like, "Okay, well, we're about to find out here in just one second." >> So, I just wanted to wait for someone else to get here before I went back and started messing with stopsticks, any of that stuff. She's super compliant, not like aggressive in any way. So, >> compliant in the terms of like she's not taking off on me, but she just kept refusing to get out. So, it's kind of where we're at. Hey, Jana. Is it Jana or Jana? Jenna. >> Jenna, are you actually pregnant? >> No, I lied. >> You lied? Okay. >> No, she said she lied. >> Okay. >> She said she made that up. >> Okay. >> Thank y'all. >> All right. >> Sorry. Thank you. >> Yep. No problem. >> Miss Jenna, can you hear me? >> Yes. >> Hey, so have you ever been arrested before? >> For what? >> For what? >> Yeah. >> Uh, one time I hit my mom. >> So battery. >> Huh? >> Like a battery? >> They said it wasn't a mess, but >> Yeah. basically like >> yeah that battery is like battery is like the physical touching of someone else. >> So you anything else or no? >> I think it was like petty touch at one point. >> Okay. >> So today um obviously you're being you're you're placed under arrest. >> You're you're being charged with resisting with violence which is a thirdderee felony and then you're being charged with just the speeding the 50 mph over. Okay. You got any questions for me? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Can I ask you a question? >> No problem. >> Why Why didn't you want to get out of the car? >> Well, cuz I knew I was going to get arrested. >> Okay. >> I didn't get into an accident. >> No, you didn't get into an accident. >> No, sir. >> Nope. How How far were you driving that fast? >> How far? Just say I was >> No, like with you were at you were at 100 miles an hour. So, were you driving 100 miles per hour for a really long time? I don't really care cuz they're going to arrest me anyway jail so I don't have to >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. >> You don't have any questions for us? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Are were you aware that you have to get out when we ask you to get out? >> No. >> Okay. Can you exit, please? >> Yeah. Thank you. >> You ever been taken in this shield before? >> No. Not. >> All right. I'll explain everything nice and easy. Okay. Just go through that side of the door for me over there. You can walk through that big metal door. Okay. Yep. Just walk right through there. All righty. So, the door behind you is going to shut. The one in front of you is going to open. There's a wooden bench to your right. You still have a seat on it. Make sure you listen to these people. Okay. Sound good? All right. >> Get out of the car. >> Get out of the car now. >> Get out of the car. Do not touch me. >> Here. >> Get away from me. >> Get out of the car. >> Get out of the car. You're getting tased. >> Get out of the car. You're getting tased. Stop. Don't cut her arm. Perfect. >> Do not touch me. >> I'm a [ __ ] girl. >> If you don't get out of the car, we're going to tase you. >> How am I supposed to move my car? >> Sit back. >> Don't push me. Sit back. >> Let go for a second. >> Yeah, you got a new car. Congratulations. >> Get out now. >> Take off. >> Get out now. >> Get out of the car. >> Don't >> get out of the car. >> No, don't do that. >> Get out of the car. Out of the car. The primary officer earns a B+. Legally sound stop, backup requested before escalation, explicit warnings before every use of force. The deduction comes from profanity during the standoff, and dismissive post-arrest comments about the subject. Neither rises to misconduct, but both are the kind of statements that complicate testimony. Officer Perry earns an A minus. Arrived promptly, executed the extraction efficiently, and worked to minimize physical harm during the removal. Professional and controlled throughout a tense situation. The subject earns a D. She stopped when signaled and provided her license. Then she refused every exit command, stated she would not comply, and admitted afterward she refused because she expected arrest. That reasoning carries no legal weight. The right place to contest any stop is in front of a judge, not from inside the car. Five lessons come directly out of this case. Each grounded in the statutes that governed it. Lesson one, the exit order is not optional. Pennsylvania versus Mims gives officers categorical authority over the driver's physical presence during any lawful stop. Contest the stop in court. You cannot refuse the exit command on the road. Lesson two. Non-compliance escalates by statute, not by officer discretion. Refusal alone is resisting without violence. Florida statute 843.02. a misdemeanor. Physical contact during extraction elevates it to 843.01, a thirdderee felony. The upgrade is automatic. Lesson three. Force is judged in context. Graham versus Connor requires courts to assess what the officer knew and faced at the moment. 5 minutes of defiance, escalation warnings at each step, and backup present are all part of that analysis. They counted here. Lesson four. Your words are protected. Your hands are not. City of Houston versus Hillshields, offensive speech directed at police. The First Amendment does not extend to grabbing an officer's wrist during a lawful extraction. That line is exactly where the felony charge begins. Lesson five, adjudication withheld carries real consequences. It can surface on background checks, enhance future penalties, and if probation is violated, the court can impose the full felony conviction. It is not a dismissal. Do not treat it as one.
