OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. STOP IT. Stop it. >> In today's video, we analyze a real police encounter and the legal standards involved. On April 13th, 2024 in De Moine, Washington, officers stopped a vehicle for a traffic related matter. What should have been a routine encounter quickly escalated when the driver became uncooperative and refused to follow lawful commands. Hi there, my name's Officer Hake. Just to let you know, the traffic stops being recorded. Reason why I'm stopping you is for speed. 48 and a 35. Not only that, I really strongly believe you're just not paying attention because I'm sorry, my I'm sorry, my fault. I My father's in my VA right now and and I just >> Well, we went about eight blocks with my lights on and you never even pulled over. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm listening to this. I'm so sorry. Why didn't you make a sound? I'm not >> Because you weren't stopping. That's the reason why. >> Oh, well, I didn't hear. >> We went eight blocks. >> I didn't see any lights. I I >> It just means you're not paying attention. >> Do you have your license, registration, and proof of insurance for me, please? I'm getting my lawyer. One second. >> I don't need to speak with your lawyer. Can I see your license, registration, and proof of insurance, please? >> What crime have I committed? >> Speeding. Can I get your license, registration, and proof of insurance, please? >> Ma'am, I can't hear you with this window halfway rolled up. >> Crime of speeding actually become a crime? >> It's an infraction. It becomes a crime when you don't provide your license, registration, and proof of insurance. Ma'am, >> the subject claims she is not contracted with the state and therefore exempt from the law. In Washington, officers may briefly detain drivers to verify identity and vehicle information under RCW46.61.021. Drivers must carry and present a valid license under RCW46.20.017 and refusing to identify oneself or provide required documents violates RCW46.61.020. How many more times am I going to have to ask for this? May I see your license, registration, and proof of insurance, please? Ma'am, are you going to provide your license, registration, and proof of insurance, please? Or does this have to escalate to an arrest? You are required to provide your license, your registration, and your proof of insurance. I've explained the reason for the stop. I've requested the required documentation, and you're refusing to provide that. You don't contract with the state of Washington. Do you have a driver's license? >> I'm I I'm with the planetary federal postal judge. I am a service processor and a >> You're a what? >> Service processor and >> service processor. >> What's that got to do with providing your license, registration, and proof of insurance? Ma'am, >> this case includes a common sovereign citizen claim of holding an official title with no legal authority. >> Just because I'm trying to get my >> Okay. I I don't have to wait for your lawyer. Okay. I'm not even going to speak with your lawyer. I nor am I required to. That's right. >> However, you are required to provide your license, registration, and proof of insurance. And I've requested it multiple times. >> Um convenient. >> For what? >> Um so I can get my >> It's got nothing to do with this traffic stop. Ma'am, grab your sticks. I'm I'm being stopped right now. >> I'm being stopped right now with an officer. >> I'm on I have >> Ma'am, are you providing me with your license, registration, and proof of insurance? Ma'am, >> um >> are you going to provide me with your license, registration, and proof of insurance? >> Can you guys get Dean or Janine on a second? >> No, ma'am. During the stop, the subject contacted someone she described as her lawyer. Often referred to in sovereign citizen circles as a legal guru. Advice like this is typically based on pseudo legal theories that have no standing in US courts and often escalates encounters rather than protecting rights. >> Step on out of the car. You're under arrest. >> No, I'm not. >> Step on out of the car. >> Step on out of the car. >> Do it now. >> Do it now or I'll break this window. Step on out of the car. You're under arrest. >> Step on out of the car. Do it now. >> She does. I do not have to show. >> I will break this window. >> You have to show that. >> If you break that window, >> you're kidding. >> Step on out of the car. >> Which treason if you break my window? >> Step on out of the car. >> This is so illegal. I would not do that. >> You can contest that in court, ma'am. >> You're under arrest for obstruction at this point. >> Court. It won't make it to court. >> Yes, it is. >> No, it won't make it to court. >> It won't make it to court. You guys, I I I I assure you, you don't want to do this. I'm I'm with the federal postal courts. Okay. I am serving the judicial notice in global constitution to the world and this is not correct. This is not what >> you're being recorded, ma'am. Everything's being recorded. All your statements are being recorded. >> Okay. You have an option to step on out of the car. footage. And if you try to blast your window again, that's crazy. >> That's crazy. >> Step on out of the car. >> Is this your um Is this your >> Are you going to step out of the car? >> Supervisor. >> Ma'am, are you stepping out of the car? >> Which one is the supervisor? Sir, >> are you going to step out of the car? >> Supervisor, >> he's not here yet. >> Okay, they will wait for the supervisor. Do not wait. You don't want to break my window, sir. >> I will here in a second if you don't get out of the car. If your supervisor gets here, he will let you know you cannot break my window. >> Oh, I doubt that. >> You're being recorded and you can face. >> Yes, you are being recorded. >> Everything's being recorded. >> Yes, we we know >> you're under arrest at this point, ma'am. >> I am a free man. I am a free woman. I'm not a cop. I'm not a corporation. You can't contract with me. I am a free woman. A blood flesh breathing woman. I don't >> Okay, I'm not disputing that, but you are under arrest. Your supervisor will tell you different, sir. >> I will wait for the supervisor. >> Can I have your guys's being recorded? >> Can I have your badge number? >> It'll be on the arrest report, ma'am. >> What's your What's your badge numbers? >> 2301. >> 2301. And what's yours? >> 2302. What's your >> Yeah, it is. Ma'am, do me a favor. Turn the car off, please. Are you going to step out of the vehicle or are you going to be taken out by force? >> I I haven't done anything. >> You are under arrest for failure to provide ID. Are you going to step out? >> I Well, the speeding is >> Are you going to step out? >> You can give me a warning, >> sir. Can you please don't? Please don't. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Step out of the car. Do it now. >> Step out of the car. Do it now. fall. Ring over. OH MY GOD. OH MY [ __ ] GOD. OH MY GOD. OKAY. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. STOP IT. Stop it. >> David one in custody. No, please. >> And we'll take a break window. Oh my god. >> This outcome was preventable. Continued refusal to comply with lawful commands left officers with limited options, resulting in the use of pepper spray and a breached window to remove the driver from the vehicle. >> My eyes 8. Start us a toe for impound. >> I need an ambulance. I NEED AN AMBULANCE. My heart hurts. You >> Yeah, I'm good. Are you okay? >> I see your cut though. >> Yeah, I'm good. >> They're on the way. >> Coming. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. SHE HASN'T PROVIDED NOTHING. She refused. >> Do you have a knife to poke a hole? >> I got it. That's >> perfect. I was looking for it. >> Please help me. >> Give me some water. Oh my god. Please. >> Going to give you some water. >> Please. >> Oh my god. >> I can't breathe. >> Look up. >> Look up. >> Open your eyes. Open your eyes. >> Open your eyes. Open your eyes so we can get in there and rinse out your eyes. Okay, >> I got >> Yeah, I got >> Stop. Stop moving so we can rinse out your eyes. >> Oh my god. Help me please. >> PLEASE. OH MY GOD. >> Sit down. Sit down. >> I NEED MORE WATER. >> Then stay still. >> Stop moving so we can get you into Okay. Moving. Help me. I can't breathe. >> Yes, you can. >> Are you seated? >> Please. I can't. >> This could have all been avoided if you provided your license, registration, and insurance. >> Well, >> can you guys call my son? Can you guys please call my son? Three, please. For what? Tell him to come my car right now. Come on. I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. >> Just so you know, everything in the car is audio and video recorded just like you're being recorded right now. >> I didn't do anything. >> All right, reach across and get your seat belt on. >> No. >> No. All righty. >> Here you go. >> Can't be happening for right now. I don't believe that. I can't believe this. You guys are horrible tyrants. You're not right. The encounter ended with the subject's arrest on charges including obstruction, failure to comply with lawful orders, and traffic violations. What stands out is not the original stop, but how misinformation turned a routine encounter into a confrontation. These incidents are increasingly common as false legal theories spread online and self-styled legal authorities promote misleading interpretations of the law. The language may change, but the outcome does not. Rights are protected in court, not on the roadside. The sovereign citizen movement is built on misinterpretations of law that have been repeatedly rejected by courts. While the terminology may sound official, these claims do not carry legal weight and often place followers at greater legal risk. Before we wrap up, I would like to take a moment to say thank you.
