On this ride along, a woman tries a Jedi mind trick. An officer is not impressed. And another finds some Pringles. On September 29th in Orlando, officers stopped a car on John Young Parkway after their system showed the registered owner's license had been suspended. The Mercury had such dark window tint that they couldn't tell who was actually driving, but the Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that officers can assume it's the RO, so they pulled the car over and went to investigate. >> I want to know what I was on. >> Hey, how you doing, ma'am? >> I'm wonderful. >> Officer with the Orlando Police Department. Do you have your license registration? >> you pull me for? >> While some officers might answer the woman's question in an effort to de-escalate, it's perfectly normal not to, especially if the officer believes there's a strong chance it'll just lead to a debate about the infraction. >> Um I'm going to let you know why I pulled you. >> tell me why you pulled me. >> your license and registration. >> Let me call 911 if you don't want to tell me cuz I seen you behind me the whole time. >> Ma'am, this is not an emergency. I am a police officer. I'm pulling you over, okay? >> you pulled me over cuz I seen you the whole time. >> Your plate, your license is now suspended. >> No, no, my license is not suspended. That's a lie. I did see you. I was only pretending to pick my nose. >> Ma'am, do you have your license with you? >> Um I don't know. I'm I can't I don't know nothing about Orlando. >> you calling 911? >> I want somebody on the phone with me. >> I am a police officer. You are safe. This is a traffic stop. >> Oh, okay, listen.

I ONLY CAME WAY DOWN HERE TO GIVE MY FRIEND A RIDE HOME WAY BACK TO BRANDON. He lied on me. My license ain't suspended. >> She'd actually admit later to knowing her license was suspended. >> She acknowledged that her license was was suspended. >> She told you? She admitted? >> Your license got suspended for a financial responsibility. >> I got pulled out of the car after he was in my red truck and he didn't he wasn't able to provide insurance.

All right, we're We don't have to even do this. This works this way. >> I don't care. Okay, take me. >> We're going to be nice to you. I was like, hey, listen, you might not even need your license. You were not being nice to us. Now you're going to jail for resisting. How was silly. How silly. This is the most silliest thing I've ever had to arrest someone for.

Thank you, sir. >> [music] >> The officer charged her with misuse of 911 and resisting without violence. The county court system removed the case from its records, so it's likely the charges were dropped in their entirety. Nevertheless, the woman's stranded friend remained stranded that day. Thanks for watching. See you on the next ride along.
