You just You've been non-compliant from the get-go. >> Non-compliant what? You're not Non-compliant to what? To you violating my human rights to to live? Like what? I don't get it. I I didn't have my seatbelt, and then you're going to mess up my day. I have people waiting on me. Ow, that hurts. Could you call my MI6 ex so that he can get There's a baby in the car. >> We'll deal with that in just a second. >> No, please don't put me in there until I know she's safe. >> She's going to be >> You wonder why I'm acting this way when there's a child with me? >> She's going to be completely safe.

Make sure that the child is okay. >> All right, the child is fine. >> That's all I want. >> Have a seat. >> While the frightened child sat in the car, police had to call a relative to pick them up while the woman continued protesting. >> Hi sweetheart, how are you? Where do you live? >> I I live in California. >> In California? >> I was vi- I was visiting her. >> Who Who do you live here with?

Smells like marijuana in there. >> Okay, can I give you my ex-husband's number to call? Thank you. >> What's the code? >> Go to my calls. I think it's probably the last one, Chris. >> Why did you not stop? >> Why are you treating me like I'm a criminal? >> Because you didn't stop for the sheriff's office. >> Why should I stop when I haven't done something wrong? I'm busy with my life. >> when there's red and blue lights behind you >> call Chris and then we'll talk. Let's call Chris when I can make sure Kelly's okay. >> Hey, this is Sergeant Mosco of the sheriff's office. How are you? >> Chris. >> Hey, I'm here with your ex, apparently. Put your foot in there. >> Yeah. >> Put your foot in the car. >> please? >> Can you put your foot in the car? >> Can I listen, please? >> All right. So, is this your ex? >> Yeah. >> All right. So, I tried to stop her on McCall and by the Days Inn, she refused to stop. She just continued driving along, refusing to stop, gets out of the car. She ends up getting arrested, but she's got a young child in the car. Is that your niece? >> That's yeah. >> Like your blood niece blood niece or >> No, it's it's her her sister. >> From a seatbelt violation and expired registration, she turned an ordinary trip into jail time and costly fines. >> What's your deal? >> Yeah. She doesn't have a license? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I'm on Hickory and East Fourth. It's right off of Pine. If you take Pine Street, go towards Sarasota County, make a right on 3rd Street, and a left on Hickory. And you even told your niece that you just didn't want to stop. That the cops can't make you stop. >> Well, it's true because if you think about Listen, this is my line of thinking if you really want to know why. First of all, I know my registration is out, and I also know that a lot of other things why I couldn't stop. And that you guys are cops and you're going to obey the law to the T whether or not it violates another person's rights. So, I know all that, and I was trying to decide what do I do here because, you know, I'm about to take a trip and I don't know where I'm going to re-register my car, and I just don't know what kind of a person you are. And so, the truth is that my heart's conviction, human being to human being, is that just because somebody tells you you have power over my body doesn't mean that you do. Okay? So, I have that. And then I have life, and I have a child, and so, of course, in the moment I'm trying to assess what is the right move here, and I didn't pull over. I think that you went overboard. But, I understand why. I understand why you do what you need to do. This is your job, and this is what you committed to doing. >> So, you know, if you would have stopped, you would have just gotten a ticket and at most >> I probably could have chatted my way out of it, but I didn't. >> you would have got at most would have gotten a ticket for a seat belt and a warning for an expired tag, probably. >> Well, >> Right. >> But, you chose otherwise. >> Well, >> And for every action, there's a reaction. Just so you know. So, today you're going to go to jail I told you to stop. >> I stopped. >> You didn't stop when you were told. >> stopped willingly. So, how is that fair? >> more than a mile away. >> But, I still stopped in a very safe neighborhood. >> you told your niece that you didn't feel like stopping. >> Well, because I didn't and that is a true statement, but I did stop. And we can express our feelings without getting punished for it, right? >> You're going to jail today on a felony for failure to stop, okay? And you'll get a >> feel good about that, human to human? >> No, I don't, but >> But, you made the choice. >> the choice. >> And you are, too. >> Okay. >> Because human to human, you understand God's law. >> I uphold the law of the state of Florida and I'm sworn to uphold the laws of the state of Florida. >> Do you believe it's a violation of human rights to give somebody a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt? >> So, you elect state legislators in the state of Florida, right? >> No. >> You don't? >> No, because I actually >> live in the state of Florida, right? >> Okay. So, the state the state legislators are who make the laws. >> I understand human law. I understand that. I understand. But, there's a kind of come a time soon where we say we're not going to just let other people tell us what it is to be human and live. >> Okay. >> And that we have to keep playing these games that get us locked up in jail. If I was a dangerous person to say >> unfortunately in the state of Florida, that will probably not happen. >> Right. Well, I think eventually >> Julie was charged with failing to obey police and resisting an officer without violence. She was sentenced to 60 days in jail and a fine. >> Next. >> A serious crash had just occurred, but instead of staying at the scene, the woman disappeared under suspicious circumstances. >> Oh. >> What's the problem? >> You're in an accident. You hit someone and took off running. Get out of the car. >> You hit a house. >> You hit a house. >> You hit people and we have you on video leaving the scene as well. >> What? >> They're right They're right here. >> Okay. Stop. Don't grab me. >> Well, don't walk away from me. >> Stay here. >> Okay. >> Why Why did you get in an accident and run? >> I don't know. >> Do you need an ambulance, Karen? >> No, I'm >> You're bleeding from your knee. >> Yeah, well, I bleed easily. I have a a >> Okay. So, you're okay? You don't need an ambulance? >> No, I'm fine. >> Okay. >> Karen, you know what we're here for, okay? Because the guy you spoke to had you on camera, and they said, "We're going to call the police." He said, "I'm not sticking around for the police." And you took off. We have that on camera, okay? >> Okay. >> Also, we have a witness having you hit the house. So, explain to me what happened today. Okay, we're past the point of I don't know what you're talking about. Go ahead. >> I'm not going to explain anything. >> Okay, Karen, you're under arrest. >> Why?

Okay. Are you going to perform field sobriety testing for me? >> Yeah. >> You would? >> I'm perfectly sober. >> You're perfectly sober? >> Yeah, I just want you to get get this off of me. It really hurts. >> Karen repeatedly denied everything, but the smell of alcohol, her injuries, and witness statements from the scene made it increasingly difficult to dispute. >> So, I can [music] smell alcohol on you. >> Well, yeah, so I had a drink. Is that against the law? >> One drink? >> No, no. Yeah, I'm home >> When was that? So, listen. >> My family is away. I'm finally getting a little um We got space.
