Hey, the reason I'm stopping you, okay, first off, all right, when you were stopped over there at the red light after coming over the Bridge of Lions, okay, you were stopped way past the stop bar and your car was completely in the crosswalk. Okay. Okay. You can't be parking in the middle of the crosswalk cuz if people are trying to cross, obviously, they can't walk through your car, right? That makes sense. >> Okay. As you were coming down Cathedral over there, okay, do you remember where you started drifting over to the left and you almost hit that parked car? Yes. Okay. And then as you turned here, all right, you turned here very quick onto this road, which is King Street, okay, so that's why I stopped you. One, you were parked in the crosswalk up there. Two, you drifted over and almost smashed into that parked car. I did not almost smash into the parked car. I'm a Lyft. I'm trying to get to my customers. Okay, do you remember what you remember almost hitting it? No, I didn't almost hit it. Well, you just told me that you did. I did not. I said I moved over to the lane and all of the sudden I was in the lane where I was trying to move over. There's a a parked car that's in the middle of the the white line in the lane. Right, right, but you started drifting over, almost hit it and you swerved over to the right. That's not what happened. >> Okay. Well, listen, I'm just telling you what I saw. Okay. Okay. And also parked in the crosswalk. Okay, do you have your driver's license, your registration, insurance? >> I sure do. Can you cancel this I am What's that? I said, can you bear with me? I didn't even say anything. It's the light. It's just my light. I know, but it's a little invasive. It's It's not invasive. Okay. What do you Saint John, she's taking off. She's heading towards She's taking her out on Saint John's. And she's signaling, too. The car swerved and nearly struck two people.

Okay, I understand my mistake makes up for a Do you got anything illegal on you? No, of course not. Police quickly realized this wasn't just a traffic stop anymore. This was a felony in progress, and she had turned herself into a fugitive in seconds. Can I see your face real quick? I just want to check to see if you're okay. Let me pull that leaf out of your hair. Of course. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. I have a 2-year, I have a 3 and 1/2-year-old, and a fiance. Are they home right now? Yes. Okay.

Cuz you're crying doesn't mean you can't walk. You do what the police say, and they won't touch you. Yeah, okay. Step back here by my car, by the motorcycle. Put your hands behind your back now. I know. You have the right to remain silent. Anything that you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to your lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions, and you have him with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning, if you wish. If you decide to answer questions without a lawyer present, you'll still have the right to stop answering at any time. You also have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to your lawyer. Do you understand your rights? With that in mind, do you wish to speak to me? I'm not going to deal with this smart-ass talk anymore. Yes or no question. You already ran her? Yeah. No license? Nothing. We're going to have to >> No license. We'll have to play the game later. All right. You want to talk to dispatch? That's fine. You want to grab a relation? That's fine. Well, am I asking Am I answering your questions? I'm sorry. When the military ID was checked, it proved she was not exempt from traffic laws, and the officer enforced the law accordingly. license at all? I do. I It's Texas. Texas? >> Yeah, I can give you my social. I don't know why she didn't ask me for that. >> That's the So, why she's saying that she asked you or you gave her a extremely hard time? >> No, she asked me if I had a driver's license and she made me feel like I was lying to her. I literally showed her my bag. I just switched it. People forget [ __ ] Sure. >> I literally don't have it on me, but I do have it >> Texas. Yeah. So, I would have I didn't really want her to have a head injury. I could have tried to pull her feet out and I grabbed them and I thought twice because I just I didn't have somebody else and I didn't want to risk that. Yeah. So, the reason why you were detained is because you gave her an extremely hard time, okay? I wasn't resisting. I literally asked her if she was asked if she said, "Get out of your car so I can read your rights." I said, "Wait a minute." It clicked and I said, "Well, why are you like" she didn't say that before. She said that the second time. >> And then I said, "Well, wait, are you arresting me?" And then she said, "I'm reading your rights. Get out of the car." And then I said, "What?" And she literally went into my car and forced herself in and started yanking me out. I just wanted to know why she was doing what she was doing. That's all I was asking her and she got frustrated and upset and went into my car and yanked me out. You're not allowed. I'm crying and I can't get out of my car. I don't have time for that. Not at all. Mhm. Out of the car. You can cry all you want out of the car. We're going to double check Texas, you said, right? You have a license from there? Yes, my husband is on his way. He drives a motorcycle, so I don't know about my car, but So, you guys live here in Cape Coral? Mhm. Okay. All right. Just hang tight for me, okay? That's great. So, you can't have a Texas license if you're living in Florida. >> That's not true. As I'm an active duty military, yes, we can. Okay. You can't have an expired driver's license by over 6 months. It's a criminal offense. It doesn't matter if you're in the military. I'm in the military, too. Then you should know. It doesn't matter. You can have a a license out of another state. That is true. But, you still have to have a valid license. It is valid. >> All right. Is she deployed right now? No, she's not. That's the only excuse to not keep your license renewed. Do it right now then. I I can tell you that you still have to have a valid license. >> Under Florida law, driving without a valid license for more than 6 months is a misdemeanor punishable by fines of up to $500, 0 cents, up to 60 days in jail, or up to 6 months of probation. The officer decided to detain her and added charges for resisting a lawful order. The vehicle was either impounded or released to a licensed driver. A minor stop turned into a painful lesson about entitlement and accountability. What do you think? Was this fair? If you enjoyed this story, don't forget to like, subscribe, and support the channel.
