sounds like there's an explanation that could have just been had almost window to window hey you guys came three strong on me you f*cking bullied me last time you tricked shit out of me you know what it is I forgave it and let it go till this point you know what the f*ck it is bro it cost to be a person is that the reason you didn't want to stop yes yes on October 15th, 2025 officers in Colorado attempted a traffic stop on a tow truck with suspended registration plates the driver fled leading to a pursuit a dual arrest and three children left on the property get out of the get out of the way get involved what the f*ck is he doing get on the ground no 10 4 we're gonna be at 93rd Street and 82nd Avenue with the uh with the white pickup hey stop mo 28 seconds yeah or the uh safety bag and that's it he's not now on 94th Street he is now going south on 81st Court now southbound in the first court he might bail I think that's where he lives right here the legal questions this footage raises extend well beyond the initial traffic violation the stop was constitutionally sound from the first moment suspended plates are an observable equipment violation sufficient reasonable suspicion under Terry versus Ohio 1968 to justify the lawful detention of any vehicle when the driver chose to flee that single decision triggered Illinois versus Wardlow 2000 where the Supreme Court held that unprovoked flight from law enforcement constitutes additional reasonable suspicion at that point the encounter escalated from a civil infraction to an active criminal evasion under Colorado Revised Statutes Section 42 4 1 4 0 9 eluding or fleeing a peace officer get out of the car get out of the car mo get out of the car back off back off stop it get out of the get out of the way you're not gonna get involved don't touch me I have my grandkids inside that's fine get out of the car don't point a gun at him get out of the car do not point a gun at him what the f*ck is he doing get on the ground no you're in my grandkids inside that's fine you're in the way right now no problem no problem on the ground on the ground cameras are outside and rolling on the ground brother on the ground no what are you doing to my husband stop stop don't touch me I didn't touch you I'm gonna throw you to the ground if you don't stop right now I didn't touch you stop 9 3 1 give us the air I'm not touching you stop hands behind your back I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I got it Hickory 9:31 you have any updates 10 hickory we got two to the cane good I'm gonna throw my car get up you have to get up Yogi can I tell them to call their parents so I don't leave them unattended in a second they're not unattended we're all here sit in you look what you're doing to my husband sit inside when officers arrived at the residence and drew a sidearm that decision falls under the framework of Graham versus Conner 1989 the controlling standard for all use of force by law enforcement in the United States Graham requires that force be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene not with 20 20 hindsight at this moment officers are approaching a driver who fled a lawful stop whose behavior remained unpredictable and whose vehicle was a tow truck a substantial instrument of force in itself drawing a sidearm under these circumstances falls within the objective reasonableness standard the wife's arrest centers on Colorado Revised Statutes Section 18 8 1 0 4 obstructing a peace officer this statute does not criminalize verbal protest it requires either a use or threat of physical force or conduct creating a substantial risk of bodily injury to the officer or subject being arrested physical interposition placing one's body between armed officers and a resisting suspect satisfies the statutory threshold her presence near a drawn firearm during an active ground restraint created exactly the kind of substantial risk the statute is designed to address it is worth noting however that the officer's verbal articulation she got in the middle is legally thin on its own for this charge to survive prosecutorial review the probable cause documentation must detail specific physical acts not generalized proximity the difference between protected protest and criminal obstruction lives in that paperwork a separate obligation arose the moment both adults were taken into custody the welfare of three children on the property Colorado child welfare standards impose an affirmative duty on officers to ensure children are not left without adequate supervision following a parental arrest a 14 year old is not a sufficient caregiver for a one year old and a two year old officers coordinated family contact and remained on scene satisfying that obligation this is not optional procedure are you okay back there no well I know you're not happy but are you okay I'm not do you need medical attention no okay no he didn't put his hands around my neck the chain was at the bottom and he like touched it and I said stop like my shirt like at the bottom of my neck I can't point to it like where the Nike thing is right here yeah but you didn't like snatch it or choke like you did not touch it right but he grabbed it he didn't the way I would take it off I'm just behind you try to look yes but he didn't like pull it he didn't try to take it off he grabbed the charm he said I should take this and then I said no and he left I thought I was talking to a b*tch on the phone so I told him go back to Ohio where you got it why didn't

good thing if we've never seen you before that's usually a good thing sounds like there's an explanation that could have just been had almost window to window hey you guys came three strong on me you f*cking bullied me last time you tricked shit out of me you know what it is I forgave it and let it go till this point you know what the f*ck it is bro it cost to be a person is that the reason you didn't want to stop yes yes I swear to god it's locked here I got the key who's the other girl with you what other girl there was no other girl there's apparently two white girls and one was carrying a baby that was my son that's not a girl look he's not even wearing a shirt we were walking from the park cause he wants to go fly his plane were you guys coming from that way no that way so you were coming from that way coming up this way yes I gotta bring her stuff up real quick sounds like my lieutenant's just gonna do what they do like a second we'll see you walk over the arresting officers received a B the stop was lawful the pursuit was handled with continuous radio protocol force levels were proportionate to active physical resistance ground restraint and handcuffing represents soft empty hand control the appropriate tier under the use of force continuum the minor welfare response and the post arrest medical check reflect professional competence one deduction applies the firearm was drawn in close proximity to the wife who had positioned herself nearby creating a potential crossfire exposure that better tactical positioning could have avoided the driver receives a d he was stopped for a lawful observable infraction his decision to flee converted a minor administrative matter into three criminal charges driving under restraint under Colorado Revised Statutes Section 42 2 1 3 8 fleeing an officer under Section 42 4 1 4 0 9 and resisting arrest under Section 18 8 1 0 3 he placed his wife in legal jeopardy created a dangerous pursuit through residential streets and left three children without adult supervision his post arrest admission that prior grievances motivated his flight carries no legal weight as a defense to any of these charges the wife receives a C plus her physical intervention placed her within the reach of a drawn firearm during an active ground restraint a choice that generated her own criminal charge and complicated the tactical situation for every officer on scene her subsequent conduct cooperating with officers coordinating child welfare declining to escalate earns partial credit the charge itself sits at the legal margin which is likely why she was released at the scene but marginal charges still carry arrest records the lesson from this footage is structural not emotional a suspended plates infraction carries a fine and a court date the decision to flee multiplied that into three felony adjacent charges a spouse's arrest and a dangerous pursuit through a neighborhood where children were present every subsequent legal problem in this footage was downstream of that one decision for bystanders and family members physical intervention during an active arrest does not protect the person being arrested it exposes the intervening party to independent criminal liability while simultaneously increasing the risk of serious injury to everyone present the legal remedy for an unlawful arrest is the courtroom not the driveway let us
