On July 17th, 2025, a patrol officer spotted a white Cadillac SUV traveling without a license plate and initiated a traffic stop. What began as a routine equipment violation quickly spiraled into a high-stakes legal standoff. The moment identification was requested, the female driver issued a defiant ultimatum. I am traveling in my private vehicle. I am not operating in commerce. Therefore, I don't need a tag, registration, or even a driver's license. I'm traveling in my private vehicle. I am not operating in commerce. Okay. And that's why I do not need a tag or registration. I don't even have to have a driver's license, but as soon as I just got that, so I haven't had a chance to address my other identification. But this is the new identification. It covers passport, driver's license, all of that. And it has all the documents in there for you to look at. Okay. Okay. So, I'm at least going to need to look at your VIN on your car. No, you don't have to look at anything. This is my private vehicle. Okay. And I'm traveling. I am not operating in commerce. Okay. I know I don't I don't want to I know you're doing your job. I do believe it. But a lot of that is going to be changing. Okay. So, you said it's going to be changing. It's not changing right now. It was as of right now. As of January the 1st, no one else is going to ever have to have a driver's license, registration, or >> January 1st of what? Next year, 2026. Okay. We're still in 2025. >> It doesn't matter. I am not a US citizen. I'm an American state national. Okay. I am an American citizen. Instead of complying, the woman presented a self-made ID card and claimed status as an American state national, asserting she was exempt from government authority. She boldly claimed that the law would change on January 1st, 2026, rendering all current regulations void. Despite the officers' reminders that they were still in 2025 and that traffic laws are mandatory, the woman remained barricaded in her mobile fortress, clinging to a distorted interpretation of the Constitution. Go ahead and step out. I'm not getting out of my car. Ma'am, step out of the car. No. I'm not you. You're not authorized. Because Pennsylvania v. Mim says I can order you out of the vehicle. They're saying that Pennsylvania v. Mim is ordering me out of the car. Ma'am, I need you to step out of the car. I have not committed any crimes. Step out of the vehicle. Right now, you are committing a crime. You're resisting. He's saying that I'm not getting out of my car. He's saying that I'm being this thing. Officer 210, Officer 214, she's refusing to get out of the car. No. No, you need to step out. You need to step out right now. You're resisting. and I am at the public Yeah, one second. Hey, sorry, this is signal 14. Now, I'm about to bust her window pepper blaster. Yeah, it's up against the curb. Like she's in the parking stall. She's up against the curb in a large median area. Can you please ask your supervisor to come here? Get out of the car, ma'am. Why are you making me get out of my car. Police patience reached its breaking point as the woman repeatedly ignored lawful orders to exit the vehicle. With backup on the scene and the driver refusing to budge, the situation turned critical. To prevent further escalation or a potential pursuit, an officer made the decisive move. After several strikes, the driver's side window shattered. It was only then, as reality literally broke through, that the woman's sovereign confidence crumbled. And she was forced out of the vehicle in shock. GET OUT OF THE CAR. WHAT? GET OUT OF THE CAR RIGHT NOW. >> I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING. GET OUT OF THE CAR. GET OUT OF THE CAR OR YOU'RE GOING TO GET TASED. Hold on. Just back her out. Back her out. I don't know if she gets out. I I didn't do anything. What are you doing? What are you doing? What What are you >> Stop resisting. >> resisting. You've been resisting this whole time. >> haven't You were just telling me to get out of my car. >> Watch your eyes cuz this is open. Yeah, he was giving you a lawful order to get out of the vehicle, correct? Correct? I want the kid. Okay. And you're violating my constitutional rights. So, right now your handcuffs are not getting my identification. Oh, I can give you my driver's license. Well, that's not the point. I already asked you for it. You asked me for my ID. >> No, I asked you for your ID. And I gave it to her as a passport. >> And I didn't ask for anything. I told you to get out and you didn't. >> I know, but you had didn't even identify yourself. And what was going on? Okay. Can you give him the card? I want Please get your supervisor here. So, listen. Can you give him my card? And on the back Yes, it has all the information. Those codes right there are for you guys. That's what they're for. She also said everything was going to be changing soon. And starting next year we're going to be licensing all of them. And I'm like I'm an American state national. I am not a USA citizen. She said we're all citizens of America on this planet. Yes, United States of America, not US citizen. Not the incorporated, non-incorporated under the Constitution. No. No. Even in handcuffs, the woman continued to protest, alleging constitutional violations and demanding to speak with a supervisor. Her hopes for vindication were short-lived when the watch commander arrived. He shut down her right to travel arguments with cold, hard facts, explaining that while the Constitution protects the right to move between states, it does not grant the right to operate a motor vehicle without a license. His parting words were a reality check. Whoever filled your head with this stuff, I'm sorry, it's not real. I'm touching you. Sorry. Sorry. Did um when you guys hit it, that's when she cooperated? After I punched it several times, and then it finally like broke through that she was willing to open the door, and then um I didn't I I didn't like blast Okay, good. >> blasted or anything cuz she was like at that point she opened the door. She wasn't getting out, but we were able to get her out without like using that, escalating that force. Yeah. Get all of it. He won't come over and talk to you? Um I'm I'm I'm allergic to air fresheners. Okay. Okay. So, can I keep my head out? I I'm really allergic to air fresheners. I'll put the window down. Okay, thank you. But it's really strong in here. I will have an asthma attack. I'll put the window down. I did not resist arrest. She You did not? No, she Why was the window broken? Because he just walked up to me, didn't announce who he was, didn't tell me what was going on. He just said, "Get out of your car." And I said, "Well, I'm So, you you were dealing with a police officer already. Okay, he doesn't have to. There's a You were already dealing with an officer, so another officer was there. Okay. Okay, you didn't No, sir. Well, then we should just release you. Yes, you should. Ma'am. I have not broken any laws. Here's >> broken any crimes, sir. >> facts. The incident concluded with the woman's arrest for resisting without violence and violating vehicle registration laws. What could have been a simple citation ended in a criminal record and a shattered window. The case serves as a stark reminder. Deliberately misinterpreting the law or falling for sovereign citizen myths does not exempt you from legal responsibility. It only guarantees you a seat in the back of a patrol car. That's the fearing me. I didn't know who he was or what he was doing. First of all, it got to the point you weren't listening to the initial officer. Who who who by the way who by the way is a very nice officer. Okay. Okay. And then you were told several times to exit the vehicle. Yes or no? I you don't No, no, no, no, no, stop. This is where you make the mistake. Were you ordered out of the vehicle, yes or no? It's a yes or no. Were you ordered out of the vehicle? Okay, then you don't have to talk to me. You're the one who asked me to talk. I am your superior here, please. No, he's not coming here. I am the superior. I am the watch commander. I am the watch commander. I am the watch commander. I am the watch commander. Sir. I am the watch commander. How many times do I have to say it? What other language do you speak so I can help? Sir. I am an American state national. >> And I gave her what she asked me for. She asked me for my ID, I gave it to her. She did not come back and ask for something else. And then she did. She came back and asked for my VIN. And I said, "You know what? I am traveling as a private citizen in my private vehicle. AND YOU GUYS DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO BE in my car." But we are because you're under arrest and we're towing you. Tell me why I'm under arrest. >> least, resisting. I didn't resist. Unregistered motor vehicle in the state of Florida. >> have to have registration and tag. I am an American citizen. I am not a US citizen. >> an American citizen. I am an American state national. I am not a US citizen. Look, whoever filled your head up with this stuff, I'm sorry. I plead the fifth. >> So, that's on you. Okay. Yes. I'll take the wallet. I'll take the wallet and your phone. But sir, I have not committed any crime. >> Ma'am, I we explained to you >> is not a crime not to have a tag or a license. >> Yes, it is. It is not a crime. No, it's not. >> Yeah, it is. We deal with sovereign citizens all the time. You're not the first one. >> citizen. I'm an American state national. >> Well, you know what? Sovereign citizens started changing their names to American state nationals. So, you're an American state national {slash} sovereign citizen, whatever. Because now you're changing your name so that way, you know, it's like, "Oh, it's not the same thing." It's the same thing. You're free to travel. Um, you know, you're free to travel. You don't have to abide by traffic laws like everyone else does and all this yada yada yada. Look, it just it gets tiring. It gets tiring.
