intersection. Do you have your driver's license on you? No. No? >> I don't. >> Do you have a driver's license >> Okay. Where's your ID then? I don't have an ID. Okay. Well, see, I don't know where you even think these laws [music] are coming from. Like, you you're influenced by YouTube. No, no, sir. >> Yes, you are. >> the Constitution. Okay. All right, what is the Constitution? >> Welcome back, guys. Today, we're in Florida with Deputy [music] Patience, and trust me, she earns that name today, where our resident magic traveler is about to learn that the Constitution isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card. We've got Jason here, a man who decided that since he couldn't get his license fixed [music] in Ohio, he'd simply opt out of reality and become a sovereign citizen. It's a bold strategy, especially when you're driving a friend's car with insurance from the [music] Paleozoic era. Let's see how his traveling goes. Hi, I'm Deputy Foreman with the Sheriff's Office. How are you today? >> Wonderful. How about yourself? >> all your dogs with you, huh? Yeah. The reason why I stopped you at that four-way intersection, you have to stop behind that white bar before you proceed through the intersection. Do you have your driver's license on you? No. No? >> I don't. >> have a driver's license >> Okay. Where's your ID then? I don't have an ID. Okay. What about some form of identification, so I can figure out who you are? I'm Jason. Okay. I don't sovereign citizen. Okay. >> need a driver's license to travel. Okay. What about the registration? This is in my friend's name. Okay. Will you grab that for me? This is in Who's the vehicle registered to? Me. And who's that to you? She's a friend of mine. Okay. Are you staying at that residence that this is registered to? Well, at mine, it's three houses down. Yes. >> Okay. We live on the same street. This is her address, and mine is 21455. Okay. Yes. Are these your dogs? Yes, ma'am. >> What are their names? This Benjamin and that's Zoe. Benjamin and Zoe. Lots of paperwork, huh? >> Yeah. Do you use her vehicle often? >> No. No, okay. So, you probably wouldn't even know where the insurance or anything is, huh? I was just going up there to get gas for my lawn. Oh, here. I I see the insurance. So, that's insurance. Can I see that? Thanks. There we go. There it is. I mean, it's from 2020, but I'll take that. That's That'll do the job still. I'll see if it's registered. I had this feeling. I know a lot of cops watch this gas station. Uh what's your first name? Jason, you said? >> Yes, ma'am. How long have you been in Florida? 5 years. 5 years. You? What do you do for work? Construction? >> Yes, ma'am. Things like that? Landscaping. I have a landscape business. I do on the side on weekends. Have you been stopped by law enforcement before? Not since I'm sovereign. And there it is, the origin story. >> [music] >> He didn't find the law, he found a loophole because he couldn't pass a background check. For the record, the right to travel is a real thing, but it refers to moving between states, not operating a two-ton death machine on public roads without a plastic card. It's a distinction our magic traveler seems to have skipped over in his Facebook research. citizen now, but yes, I have. Oh, it's Oh, since I've been a sovereign? A year, I would say. 5 years ago I got stopped when I first moved down here driving I obviously without a license. And so, now I know that I can't get a license, so I'm a sovereign citizen now. Okay. I'm traveling. I'm not conducting commerce. Okay. So, you have been issued a license in Florida before? No. Never? You don't have an a number with the Florida department? >> I had an ID. Right, okay. So, you have a Florida ID number with the state of Florida. >> Yes, I did. Got you. Where did you move from? I I Yes, ma'am. What was that? I said that's probably why you don't smoke. Um Okay, give me 1 second, all right? Yes, ma'am. All right, will you step out of the car, please? I don't feel comfortable. Well, Jason, jail isn't exactly a five-star resort, either. Deputy Patience is being remarkably polite here, but she's laying down the law. A lawful order to exit the vehicle during a traffic stop is backed by Pennsylvania v. Mimms. Your comfort level doesn't actually override the Supreme Court, unfortunately for the dogs. Quick. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Please know I don't feel comfortable or safe. Okay, that's why you're under arrest. Let me Let me Let me explain something. All right, sir. I'll be as cordial, as respectful as humanly possible. All right. When we give you a lawful order, I don't care what your beliefs are. It has nothing to do with what's going on right now. When we give you a lawful order, you must comply with the lawful order, or you will be arrested. That is that. That's as as far as I'm going to come out with it. I understand what your beliefs are. I understand it. Whatever you want to believe in, I get it, but I'm telling you it is not going to work in your advantage. And I'm going to politely, again, request that you get out of this vehicle. I don't feel safe. Okay. I don't know. Sir. I want my money back. Yeah, that's Do you have anybody living with you at your house? Yes, can you grab my phone? >> Right, slow motion time. Because I want you to appreciate the exact moment Jason realizes that his YouTube law degree doesn't provide a physical shield against handcuffs. Watch the grip. Clean, professional, and entirely inevitable. This is what happens when I'm not conducting commerce meets you're under arrest. My license. Get back in the car, man. No, you're going to get charged with obstruction. Cuz you failed to listen to a lawful command. See, and it could have just been probably a criminal citation where you get a court date and you don't go to jail, but you I I gave you the opportunity, right? Gave you the opportunity. But now we have to add more to it. All because of some silly silliness that you're believing in. Because you watch YouTube. And I'm telling you YouTube is not correct. So now you got to deal with more consequences. Who lives at your residence? My dad and mom. Do you have their name in your phone? Yeah. Will you tell them to come get your dogs? >> call your supervisor, please? He's at the office. Can he come out here? Hey, can you come and get the car and the dogs? They're going to arrest me. I'm on the corner of Normandy Street. Normandy? Uh yeah, Norm I don't I don't know where Normandy is. Can you send me the address? It's all right. Can we have your supervisor come out here, please? He's not going to come out here right now. Um I'll give you a request and I'll give him Ah, the classic call the supervisor move. It's like asking to speak to the manager at a restaurant after you've already set the table on fire. And citing the Constitution while admitting you're only doing this because your license is suspended in Ohio. That's some top-tier legal maneuvering right there. notification that you are requesting it and I'll see if he'll be available. It's not the law. No? There's zero law. See, I don't know where you even think these laws are coming from. Like you're you're influenced by YouTube. No, no, sir. I read the I read the Constitution. Okay. All right, what is the Constitution then? What do you mean? What is it? It's the Constitution for our rights. Okay, well so what are your rights? The right to travel. The right to travel, okay, yeah. On Florida roadways and highways with the obligation of having a valid license. Yes. No, that's when you're sovereign citizen. Oh, so you're a sovereign citizen. So you're a sovereign citizen. Yes, that's what I was explaining to Welcome sovereign citizen to the laws of the state of Florida where you need a valid Florida license to operate a motor vehicle in the state of Florida on the Florida roadways and highways. I'm sorry you don't believe in that. Like I said, it's nothing against you. It's your beliefs, but I'm telling you just you're about to find out how the laws work. I I understand that. Well, if you don't understand then then you would understand that you need a license. But you don't want to go get a license cuz your stuff is suspended in whatever Ohio. And I've tried. Okay, well you need to reinstate your license in Ohio and get it fixed so you can get a license in Florida. That's why I I'm doing the sovereign citizen. I haven't done that >> you that sovereign citizen the sovereign the sovereign citizen thing is not going to work. I'm telling you. But you don't have to believe me. I've been doing this 7 years. It's not going to work. Have a seat, please. I'll see where my corporal is if he is willing to come out here. If not, he can give you a phone call at the jail. I'm sorry. I can't hear you. No, that's right. So he's going for obstruction and he resisted? Well, so what do you when he doesn't have a valid license, right? So when we tell someone to get out of the motor vehicle and they refuse to because of their beliefs, whatever their beliefs are, I understand it. But it's the law. I'm requesting you remove from the vehicle. He refused to do so. When I have to open the door and get him out myself, you're getting charged with obstruction. That that's just the way it is. I didn't want to do that to him. I I did everything I even could respectfully to get him out of the car. But it's whatever he wants to believe in. YouTube or whatever his whatever his rights are, I can't stop someone from believing in what they want to believe in. But I'm telling you that you're going to go to jail. It's the rules. I'm sorry that you don't like the rules, but >> Can I say anything to him for a second or Yeah, if you like to. Your dog's going to stay in the car? Okay. Are you going to bail me out? I guess I guess so. I mean, you better be paying me back though. Yeah, I might get the lawyer now cuz Well, I that's the >> I know. Here's your coffee. Hi there. Hello. Corporal Diaz, shout out kind of show yourself. Enter the supervisor who, spoiler alert, also lives in the real world. He's explaining state law like he's talking to a toddler, which is appropriate considering the "I'm just traveling" defense. It doesn't matter if you're hauling gold or just getting gas for your lawnmower. If the wheels are turning on public pavement, you need the government's permission slip. What can I do for you? I'm being arrested for traveling on the road, sir. Okay. We all have a right to travel, but I don't You you Yeah, you you're right. You have the right to travel, but No, driving But when you're traveling when you're traveling in the streets of Florida Yes, sir. you have to have a license. Okay. So, that is the law, whether you agree to it or not. Mhm. That's not for us to discuss. Okay? Our job is just to enforce state law, and state law says that you have to have a driver's license. That is it. Even if you're traveling and not in >> you're traveling. commerce Even if you're traveling. Okay. So you can research it. Mhm. State Florida is very simple. You have to have a Florida driver's license to drive a car or a driver's license from another state Okay. to operate a motor vehicle on any roads in the state of Florida or any states. Okay. So, anything else I can do for you? No, sir. Did I answer your question? Yes, sir. Okay. All right. Hang on tight, okay? Yes, sir. Jason was ultimately charged with operating a vehicle without a valid license and obstruction without violence. It turns out sovereign status isn't a recognized legal category in Florida or anywhere else with paved roads. He traded a simple traffic ticket for a trip to the county Hilton.
