Somewhere on I95 in Flaggler County, Florida, a black Mercedes is drifting across lanes, blowing through lights, and ignoring the police cruiser that's had its lights and sirens on for what feels like forever. The driver, a man officers will call Mike, is about to be stopped. And what happens in the next few minutes raises two questions. What exactly is wrong with Mike? And what exactly is wrong with this stop? >> Westbound Medical Tag. Correction. Texas tag. Romeo Sierra Yankee 0297 RSY 0297. It's a black Mercedes signal 12. >> Flag. Can you show me up within L29, please? >> Alpha 224. >> Alpha 234. >> Uh, vehicle still rolling. Can you go ahead give us 1033 till further? The vehicle is a black Mercedes-Benz running a Texas plate Romeo Sierra Yankee0297. Officers have already run it and confirmed a match. The signal code being broadcast tells responding units exactly what kind of stop this is shaping up to be. The vehicle is still rolling. Unit alpha 224 requests a 1033 clear the channel because this is no longer routine. >> Unit 1033 traffic on primary unit switch to tell. >> Stop the vehicle. Pull over. Do it now. He is not fleeing but he's not stopping. Is there anybody else in the dump? >> Dispatch has been updated 224. We got that vehicle stopped. Denver still at the hospital. >> This is the moment that sets the tone for everything that follows. The Mercedes has been ignoring police lights and sirens since the interstate. That is not a minor detail. In Florida, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle is a moving violation on its own. Whatever is happening inside that car, the driver is either unwilling or unable to respond normally to what's happening behind him. >> What are you doing? >> We've had our lights and sirens on since I 95 and you've taken this long to pull over. >> Any reason? >> Huh? Okay, you're driving all over the road. >> The officer's first words at the window are not a greeting. They're a direct challenge. Lights and sirens since I 95, and it took this long to pull over. Watch Mike's response here carefully. Or rather, watch the absence of one. There's no clear explanation. No medical emergency declared. No immediate acknowledgement. Something is off and the officer knows it within the first 15 seconds. >> Two, you're not maintaining your lane. >> You almost blew through that red light. >> Are you having any kind of a medical emergency? >> No. >> What's that? >> No. >> Okay. You may favor shut the vehicle off. Shut your vehicle off for me. Shut your vehicle off. >> Turn the >> The officer lays it out plainly, drifting across lanes, nearly running a red light, and a prolonged failure to respond to emergency signals. Any one of those alone would justify this stop. Together, they paint a picture of a driver who either isn't in control or has made a series of very bad decisions on a Sunday afternoon. When asked directly if this is a medical emergency, Mike says, "No, but the ambulance is coming anyway." Car off. It is a very simple thing I'm asking you to do. Let me see your keys. Let me hand me your keys. No. >> Hand me your keys. >> No. >> Okay. Step out of the vehicle for me. >> Step out of the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle for me. Come on out, bud. you okay? >> I'm still docked in the office cuz I haven't >> You're good. >> Come on. >> You all right? >> No. >> What's going on? Turning a car off is about as simple as it gets. And yet here it takes multiple direct commands over the span of nearly a minute to get that done. This is the kind of non-compliance that escalates a traffic stop from a conversation to something more serious. And officers are trained to read exactly what it means when someone can't or won't do something that simple on request. What's up? >> What? >> What's going on? I I I I don't know. >> Well, I asked you if you were all right and you said no. >> Correct. >> So, what's going on? Why aren't you okay? >> Why aren't you okay? What's going on? Fine. >> So, what's go what's what's going on with you, Mike? >> Cuz you're you're driving all over the road. Okay. >> You ran off the road a couple times. All right. You about Well, no, it's not fine. That's why you're being stopped. And then we had our lights and sirens on behind you. You weren't stopping for us. >> So, like, what's what's going on? >> I I I don't know what you said. >> Mike has just admitted on camera that things are not okay. He doesn't elaborate, but that single admission combined with everything observed on the road is precisely why an ambulance has been requested. This is the pivot point of the stop. It shifts from a potential DUI contact to a welfare situation, and the officer's tone adjusts accordingly. The goal now is to find out what not okay actually means. >> Things are not. Well, we got an ambulance coming to check on you, man. But >> you're an [ __ ] >> I'm not being an [ __ ] >> Yeah, you are an [ __ ] >> Nope, not yet. >> [ __ ] you. >> Okay. Well, >> [ __ ] you, man. You're >> behind your back. >> All right. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. I just Yep. Absolutely. >> Showing his ass. >> You I'm piece of [ __ ] >> Mike, you're under arrest for driving under the influence. >> Great. You're an [ __ ] >> I know I'm an [ __ ] >> It's Sunday. >> With an ambulance on the way, the stop reaches its most volatile moment. Mike tells the officer exactly what he thinks of him, and the officer on a live body cam says it right back. It's a moment that will get attention for the wrong reasons, even if the original stop was fully justified. As of this footage, Mike faces potential charges, including failure to yield to an emergency vehicle in reckless driving. Whether a DUI charge follows depends on what the ambulance crew and subsequent investigation reveal. The body cam has always captured everything.
