Between 2016 and 2021, more than 400 unarmed drivers and passengers were killed during traffic stops, [music] as highlighted by a New York Times investigation. Legal implications for individuals like Jasmine include resisting an officer with violence, a thirdderee felony in Florida, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, obstruction without violence, a misdemeanor with up to one year in jail, and fleeing and eluding police, a felony that carries up to 5 years in prison. Despite these legal risks, many traffic stops still result in unnecessary escalations and confrontations.

According to a 2022 [music] Gallup poll, such incidents emphasize the need for comprehensive training for law enforcement officers, including deescalation tactics and mental health awareness.
