On the evening of February 1st, 2023,
around 6:11 p.m., Officer Beetley
received a notification about a vehicle
registered in Georgia. The alert was
tied to an outstanding warrant from
another county for the registered owner,
Taiwan Kaine. Upon spotting the vehicle,
Officer Beley confirmed the driver was
Kane through the open passenger window
and initiated a traffic stop. This is
what unfolded next.
All right, sir. Thank you very much. I
appreciate that. Do you have your
driver's license on you or some way?
Pardon? I want to know what I got pulled
over for. I seen you switching lane to
lane. Sure. So, I want to know what I
got pulled over for cuz if it's not
nothing, it's it's not going to be that.
Um, what I need to do is just identify

reason? No, sir. What came up? Truck

registered owner of this vehicle? Yes.
Okay. So, something came up with the
license for the registered owner of this
vehicle. What came up with this license?

Okay. All right. Well, the reason why
she stopped cuz we didn't get Oh, what?
I don't We'll explain it to you.
Well, but when you don't listen and
you're you're amped up, we understand
work and I seen the sergeant, right? You
got to understand. Look, I seen her. She
dropped high. She jumped behind me three
times. That's okay. She's allowed to do
that. Okay. She jumped back and forth to
see what she going to do. She got behind
somebody else to see what she was going
to do. Well, she she has to look to see
if it's you or not. She runs the tag and
it comes back that the registered owner
has a warrant. She's got to get up and
see that every day. I stay up the
street. I I couldn't tell you what these
police do every day, but I know what she
has to do to be able to pull you over.
You know what I'm saying? So, now we're
just going to confirm that this warrant.
Can I push my half onto my ear? Calm on
the phone. Which one? This one. Can you
push it in? Tuck it. Tuck your head
down. I want your ear. So, here's the
thing. Here's the thing. If the warrant
if they don't want you, we'll cut you
loose. All right. I don't even know what
they want, too. We'll we'll we'll know
what that is here in a second. We have
the details.
We only have basically what's on the
label of the war. We don't know
everything. Correct.
It was for what? Stalking. Stalking or
intimidation? So they said we don't know
the details that I can't wait to file a
lawsuit. But you know what I'm saying?
We don't know what the details are of
that cuz we don't have the paperwork in
front of us. All right. So we have to
confirm that. All right. I bet y'all got
the right person. That's what we're
trying to figure out now. Yeah. Going to
do a lawsuit. I'm embarrassed right
here. It going to be a lawsuit. Well, we
hear that all the time unfortunately.
Okay.
above the You want to camera? You want
to confirm his ID with
He already got
[ __ ] It's above the Okay.
something about Yeah. Confiring
something and they'll let me go
something I don't want. So if county
wants you, which is extradition, if they
want to extradite you, then we have to
deliver you to them. Okay? So that's
what we're waiting for. We're waiting
for county to say, "Hey, we don't want
him or cuz the warrant is good." You're
the sergeant, right? I'm here to listen.
Un loosen these. I can't I'm telling you
to un loosen it. I'm a big guy. Look how
tight these arms is. If I move my hand
any kind of way, it going to break. You
listen. You weren't very cooperative
when we were putting because what you
don't we don't have to give and afford
you the opportunity of an explanation
until we get you
secured. That's not how this works. I
ain't going nowhere. Can you un loosen
me close? We don't know that, man.
Sorry, but as loose as you can get. I
can't even. We already gave you two
cups. All right. So,
listen. I ain't going nowhere. I'm not
running. So, I don't know why you
holding me like that.
Well, your actions so far have have led
us to believe I What I'm going to run
for? Where I'm running to? Well, you
didn't you didn't really from this side
of town. I just stay over here. You
didn't really let us handcuff you, dude.
What you mean? I pulled over when she
blew out of me. If that's the case, my
car is faster than me. Every car out
here. Is it or is it
not? Come on, man. That's 550 right
there. Come on, man. Nobody ain't
running for nobody. I got CDLs. It's
however long the county takes it. It it
it usually is only a few minutes. So
once we get them calling us back saying,
"Yeah, we're good to move forward."
Then I asked the same question. I said,
"Is there any updates for us?" And she
said they haven't called back yet.
So the the posting on our on our side
says in Georgia
only.
So, based on my assumption is you'd
probably be going with us today. But I

officers decided not to charge him with
obstructing law enforcement. Observing
that he was not physically combative and
ultimately followed all directives, he
was then transported to the jail without
further incident.
