Troy, Missouri. We have a traffic stop where the passenger is working harder than the driver. Andrew isn't just riding shotgun. He's trying to command the entire interaction, claiming the police destroyed his life in a past encounter. He's rolling in a beatup truck with tags that expired back in 2022 and absolutely zero insurance. Yet, he thinks his trauma and a homemade bond exempt him from the law. If you're ready to watch a master class in professional victimhood where a guy tries to control the police from the passenger seat while his wife tries to find her license, do me a favor and smash that like button. Let's see if his excuses hold up better than his truck. >> This isn't happening again. >> Andrew, please. >> Can I have your driver's license, please? >> I am Marilyn versus Wilson, US Supreme Court. Maryland vers Wilson says I can detain all passengers in the truck. Okay. >> I just want to go home. >> You can detain me, but you're going to release me. You You can Not arresting you, Andrew.

I'm talking to her. Okay. If you're going to interfere, I will arrest you. Okay? You can stand at the front of the truck. You can film all you'd like. New Missouri law says if I tell you that you're interfering, you have to stand 25 ft away. Okay? I'm going to allow you to stand a little closer. Stay at the front of the truck. Don't move from there. Is that clear? >> It's fine. >> Okay. >> I just need your driver's license now. >> Do you have that with you? >> I do. >> Okay. Can you produce that, please?

She can't even stand this. Dude, I've already got head trauma done dealing with from this. >> Do you want Do you want me to put you in a car? >> No. Because I'll just tear up this one. >> You're you're interfering right now. >> Another car out of duty. >> Make me warn you again and you will be arrested. >> I just got the deposition on the other officer. >> Let me talk to her. >> Stop and let me talk to her.

No insurance at all or you just don't have it. >> Thank you for >> available. At least standing by. >> Not available. >> Okay. But you do have insurance of some sort. >> No, we're broke.

I will let him do his unwful [ __ ] Let's go. >> Mrs. Mson, >> I'm just I will I will stand here and record this and I will be quiet. >> That is That is your right. I'll allow you to stand there. Just let me do what I've got to do. Okay. >> The the plate on the truck. Did that come on the truck or is that yours? >> No, it's my uncle's uncle's truck. your uncle's truck. >> Yes, I have the title. It has his name on it and everything. He gave me the truck. >> So, when I run the plate, it will come back to the to the valid registered owner. >> Yes. And I can call him if you would like to talk to him. >> I don't I don't need that at this point. Okay. >> I am going to step up here and get the last floor of the VIN and make sure that it matches the plate when I run it. Okay. Do >> you want me to grab the title out of the glove box? >> Not at this point. >> Verify that the vehicle is driven by the correct person. I understand that, but in this case, I I'm not really cool with the officers being here. >> Okay. The extra officers? >> No. Or just you two? Oh, >> that's that's it. And it's for obvious reasons. >> Okay. >> And I understand that issue right now. >> So I do need the title. >> Yeah. We're still going through court over a false arrest. It's great. >> Okay. The title. I do in fact need that at this point. >> Can Can I go get it? >> Yes, I will escort you. >> There's Are there any weapons in the truck? >> The weapons in her purse. Okay. >> You must know like it was last time. I still haven't got my last weapon back. >> Okay. I appreciate you letting me know. >> Oh, center council. >> Okay. >> And there's over $1,000 list of parts on the roof if you want to look. Just to get this thing to where it will pass the safety. And you bought it from your uncle. >> My uncle actually gave it to me cuz I couldn't afford to buy another vehicle after you guys destroyed my other >> So that's that's the plate that was on it. Is this plate? >> Yes. It goes It comes back to him. He had a stroke. It's literally got the plate that it was parked in the field in my backyard. >> But the plate is expired like >> 22. I know. Because I can't afford the license of vehicle. >> Well, I'm I'm just explaining to you why I'm asking for the title. Because the plate is so old that no longer has a vehicle attached to it. It's been expired for so long. They've purchased it out of the system. So then the title shows that it's not a stolen like I have to run the make sure it's not stolen that kind of stuff. Okay. >> Okay. And I'm very aware of that. Okay. I'm I'm a state inspector. I have to do IDs all the time. >> Okay. So then you understand. >> All right. You can step back over there with your wife. >> Oh uh 900,000. >> You don't have the credit. >> Huh? >> Credit. >> Uh well actually it's getting put up on hockey pucks too in a oneinch lift. That should clear everything and still keep the handling drivability and be able to tow. That's kind of when you do that stuff to these vehicles, you just lose all your capacity to do anything. >> I can get to >> I'm going to take the plate off the back. It is what, three years almost four years expired right now. >> I don't even know if you can get that off the back there. And honestly, I I mean, if you want me to take it off, I'll just take it off and run without a plate. That's fine. I'm >> That would probably be better. Okay. >> At this point, that I mean, the plate looks like >> Sorry, I'm cold. >> You're fine. the plate, putting a plate on that, especially that expired, just makes it makes it look like you're trying not to get caught running without registering it. And and right now, like you, the title is legally the way everything is right now with the title not being filled out to go to you or anything like that, it's it's like you're borrowing your uncle strut, which is fine. Um, the tags are expired to the tag. >> It's not going to be your legal >> the deer. It's not hit another deer. Okay. >> That's actually why it got parked cuz somehow the fuel pump got bent after he hit the deer. >> I don't know how that happens, but when you turn left, it would lose fuel pressure. [laughter] >> Did you have to go through the bed to get it or can you >> uh I actually live I lift I actually had the whole entire bed off because all the bolts were messed up because of the body lift kit. If you actually look, it's up on hockey box. >> Okay. Uh I'm not going to write you tickets. You need to take it home. It is not legal for you to have it on the road without it being registered, the registration renewed, which I'm not so concerned about that. The state of Missouri is going to get their money one way or another on the tax stuff for the place and all that kind of thing. >> The the thing that I am concerned about is the insurance. >> I'm going to let you go tonight on a on a warning on a warning for like >> I'm I literally have bonds. I'm bonded >> like fully self-insured for the vehicle. >> Bonded like I'm bonded myself for vehicles. >> Okay. Do you have that paperwork? >> I do not have it on me. You guys actually stepped all over it last time you arrested me. >> Okay. So, get a copy of that in the vehicle. >> A copy of it's registered up to the county. >> Okay. I can't I don't have a way to >> You guys don't even look at it anyway. I'm sorry. >> I >> I'm letting you go with warnings right now, Andrew. Even though technically I could arrest you and take you to jail for interfering. I'm trying to be >> He is trauma therapy. He is working through what happened with everything. >> I'm not dealing with any of that tonight. Okay? Just right here, right now, tonight. What this stop is for is the only thing that I'm addressing. Okay? >> [clears throat] >> You are required by law in the state of Missouri to have whatever proof of financial responsibility, whether it's you're self-insured or you have insurance with somebody else that you can produce at the time of the stop. So, make sure that you get that paperwork available. Don't produce it until asked to. Okay? Um, make sure you get all that stuff done, okay? It's not going to be legal to drive on the road. Like I said, the plates I don't really care about so much. The state of Missouri will get their money one way or another. They're good at that. But if you get into a crash with somebody else and you're not able to produce insurance or >> have insurance that's going to be valid for the other driver, if you're deemed at fault, then then that's the thing that I'm concerned about is somebody else being this is what I tell everybody. Okay? If you get in a crash and you're that the insurance companies determine you're at fault for cuz we are not and you don't have >> You don't need to say anything. I love you >> selfinsured or whatever, then that's that's wrong to the other person. >> I hand them a bond that's worth $125,000. and a 1099 so they can file for it and get all the money they need in order to repair whatever they need. >> But you do have to have that with you in order for that to happen, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. It's my only point. However you insure your vehicles, >> as long as it's legal, >> it's online now, too. >> Okay. Then that's fine. If you can produce it at the time, that's that's fine. Okay. So, I'm not I'm not worried about that. We're done. We're finishing up. Okay. Don't be driving without proof of financial responsibility. And I have to tell you that it's not legal to drive it without renewing the registration >> of financial responsibility >> because for people like yourself who don't have an insurance company, it's not really >> Why does an insurance company have to reuse me if I'm bonded? >> I'm not doing that. >> Okay. Okay. I'm not asking questions. >> The state the state of Missouri says upon request from law enforcement on a traffic stop, you have to produce some proof of insurance or financial responsibility, whatever it is that you carry. Okay, that's all that I'm saying on that. Okay. >> I'm I'm not delving into >> Could I get one of your officers card with all the um officers numbers uh your badge numbers on them so I can request body cam footage? >> Yeah. >> All right, Mr. Mson. >> These four are Troy. This here is sheriff's deputy. Okay. >> With Lincoln County. Okay. >> DSN and last name. Thank you very much. >> And I'm going to take a look at that plate and see if it'll come off. >> Okay. >> All right. I don't know. To >> be honest, the UPS guy actually tried to take it off. >> Did he? >> Yeah. He got this. >> Ah. Tried to take the whole bumper. Huh? >> Yeah. >> I don't have a screwdriver on me or I might just take it off. >> I've got one. >> Walmart. >> Hell yeah. There you go. As soon as I get my plates back from the police department, they're going right on here. >> That and you're free to go. >> To really understand the dysfunction we are watching, we have to look past the expired tags and the beatup truck and analyze the psychological warfare Andrew is attempting to wage from the passenger seat. He is employing a tactic known as weaponized trauma. Immediately upon being stopped, he references the previous incident where he was tased, framing it as the police bashing her head in or destroying his life. Psychologically, this is a manipulation technique designed to put the officers on the defensive. He is trying to leverage a previous lawful use of force, which was the result of his non-compliance, to create a victim shield for the current stop. He wants the officers to feel guilty, to walk on eggshells, and to hesitate in enforcing the law because he is presenting himself and his wife as fragile, broken survivors of police brutality rather than repeat offenders refusing to follow basic traffic laws. From a legal standpoint, the officer shuts down Andrew's attempt to hijack the interaction by citing Maryland versus Wilson. For those of you who aren't legal scholars, this is a crucial Supreme Court case that extends the authority of Pennsylvania versus Mims. While Mims lets cops order drivers out of the car, Maryland versus Wilson allows officers to order passengers out of the vehicle or command them to stay inside for officer safety. Andrew tries to argue that he should be released because he isn't driving, but he is fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of a traffic stop. A traffic stop is a seizure of the vehicle and everyone in it until the investigation is complete. The officer is the captain of that ship until he says you can leave. By attempting to interfere, Andrew is flirting with an obstruction charge, but the officer smartly uses verbal commands to neutralize him rather than escalating to force again. Sociologically, this interaction is a prime example of the external locus of control. Andrew refuses to accept agency for his situation. He blames the police for him losing his previous car. He blames the system for not having insurance. He blames the trauma for his attitude. In his mind, life is something that happens to him, not something he influences by, say, registering his vehicle or buying insurance. This mindset is dangerous because it justifies perpetual non-compliance. If nothing is ever your fault, you never have to change your behavior. Now, let's talk about the self-insured bond nonsense Andrew spouts. He claims he has a bond for $125,000 and issues, 1999 forms to people he hits. This is sovereign citizen-like ideology seeping into regular poverty. In the real world, financial responsibility laws require liquid assets or an authorized insurance policy. Handing a crash victim a homemade bond is essentially handing them an IOU written on a napkin. It creates a societal hazard where innocent drivers are left holding the bag for Andrew's negligence. It is a selfish distortion of the social contract that keeps public roads functioning. However, the most fascinating part of this video is the deescalation strategy used by the officer towards the end. Did you notice the shift? The moment the officer starts asking about the truck's engine, the timing chains, the LS swap, the body lift, Andrew's entire demeanor changes. He stops being the oppressed victim and becomes the knowledgeable car guy. This is a psychological technique called reframing. The officer breaks the adversarial loop by finding a common ground. By validating Andrew's knowledge about the truck, the officer restores Andrew's sense of dignity and control, which lowers his defenses. It turns a potential fight into a roadside chat. So, what's the takeaway here for you? If you are ever a passenger in a stopped vehicle, the smartest thing you can do is sit still and shut up. You are not the lawyer. You are not the driver. And interjecting yourself into the investigation only agitates the officer and prolongs the detention. And if you are struggling financially and can't afford tags or insurance, you have to make the hard choice to park the car. Driving illegal is a gamble where the house always wins. And as Andrew proves, blaming the dealer doesn't get your car back. Andrew tried to play the victim card, the trauma card, and the bond card.
