Do you watch their seminars? >> Yeah, they have things where they >> Yeah. Like that. >> Do you watch those seminars? >> Okay. One one thing I want you to be afraid or be aware of in the future, right? Because most law enforcement officers care about people, right? We want you to be safe and that's why we're out here. We want you to obey the law so that you're safe. Okay? So, the other thing is is I want you what you need to be afraid of in today's society is false information, >> right? make sure that information gets forwarded to Christenzi as far as their addresses and everything. >> Yeah. How those those areas of law are applied to these situations. Have you done that research yourself? >> Right. But you took the word of somebody else thinking that it was 100% true. And that's where you believed that what they told you was doctrine, right? Or it was 100% right. when in fact it it isn't. And I feel bad for you because you were you were victimized by them. Okay? And that's who you should be mad at in this situation is the people who who who told you you're going to be fine, you're allowed to do this because it's been documented time after time after time that this somebody tries to do this and it's proven that it's false. It's not true. Okay? But ultimately at the end of the day, you can't put your hands on a police officer. Not in the United States, not in the state of Florida, not in the city at headquarter. Okay. There's repercussions to that. All right. >> Did you get her on the um sovereign thing or she's >> Oh, her. Did she get you on to it? Cuz she has a tag, too. >> No, just >> she's your neighbor. >> Who Who got it first? >> You or her? >> She >> Did she turn you on to it? So, you need you could look into this? >> No, that's her own business. That's what I want. >> Oh, she has a business doing it. >> No, no, that's her owner, you know. >> Personal business. Yeah, I got you. >> Um, so she's going to walk home with your kids. She's not driving her car either. Her car is getting towed just like yours. You guys have to have registered vehicles in the state of Florida. They have to be registered. That's the bottom line. But here's the other thing you have to understand, right? Her vehicle's being towed, but she's walking home with your kids because of how she reacted. Okay. She didn't kick me. She didn't put her hands on a police officer screaming out. >> So, it's going to take about 25 minutes. >> I don't know what's going to happen here. Hold on. >> Sorry. Call me back and let me know. Oh, okay. >> Hey, I'm right I'm right here. It's It's Sergeant Benz. Um, you're going to be able to take her kids. Um, you're going to receive a citation for unregistered motor vehicle. Um, your vehicle is going to get towed by Edgewater Towing and you'll be able to walk home with the kids. >> Did you hear that? They want to tow my car. >> They they can tow it. It's not >> And he can hear you're on the speaker if you want to say something. >> It's a vehicle that has four wheels and it's powered by a motor. It is a motor vehicle, sir. >> Except it's registered. >> Automobile. >> No, no, no, sir. It's It's It's going to get towed. She's going to get a ticket and she'll be on her way. >> Okay. But it shouldn't be towed. But I mean, we're not causing a problem, but it should not be towed. >> Well, it's it's not registered. The Florida registration on it was cancelled, so therefore it's no longer registered, >> right? And she doesn't actually need a registration. Uh it is a private property. It's private automobile. It's a trust. >> It is in a trust. So you keep that in mind. >> So if you do if you do I mean >> it's going to cost you. If you do tow it, there's there are going to be issues. It's it's in a trust. It's private property. It is not to be towed. If you run her passport, it'll show you that you're not supposed to even question or detain her for any reason. >> So, we're not questioning or detaining her. She actually showed up at the traffic stop at the request of the other female to pick up her kids. It was discovered when she got her here that her vehicle was unregistered. >> It doesn't have to be registered. We have we have proof from the Department of Motor Vehicles from um uh Department of Transportation. It doesn't have to be registered. >> They say the Department of Transportation is not real. >> I don't know what that means. >> But again, it does not have to be registered. So, please reconsider towing it because uh it that's in violation. >> I got you. >> Okay. I've reconsidered it and it's still going to get towed. Okay. >> Okay. Yeah, you you've got his name and everything. You have a business card you can give her? >> Yes, sir. I do. >> Okay. And Maya, just make sure you take out of the car whatever you need.
