I told you to slow down and you kept on going. >> How can you tell me to slow down when I'm just sitting still? Sir, >> I had every right to pull you out of this car and detain you. I do have a right to ask you for your ID at any time. So whether you want to or not, you do have to comply with that whether you're recording that or not. >> This cop grabbed my ID out of my car. He was pulled over for speeding. Even though the officer never used radar pacing or any other method to measure speed from the start, the officer could not clearly explain what violation had occurred and instead relied on his own judgment while repeatedly demanding identification. Each time the driver asked for reasonable, articulable suspicion, the officer avoided the question, dismissed requests for a supervisor, and continued applying pressure to comply. As the exchange went on, the focus shifted entirely away from traffic enforcement and toward forcing identification. The encounter took a sharp turn when the officer made a move inside the vehicle that immediately changed the situation. >> Am I being detained? >> Yes, right now you are. >> For what? What reasonable articulable suspicion you got that I committed a crime? >> You didn't slow down. >> You can't That's not a crime. You can't tell me to slow down. Well, I don't I'm driving up there and you told me to slow down. >> Hand me your ID. >> Reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime. Tell me what it is. >> Hand me your ID, sir. Let me get a supervisor. >> Hand me your ID, sir. >> Supervisor, >> hand me your >> I'm asking you for a supervisor. >> Hand me your ID, sir. >> I'm asking you for a supervisor. >> Hand me your ID, sir. >> I'm asking you for a supervisor, sir. >> ID, sir. >> What reasonable, articulable suspicion have you got that I committed a crime? >> Hand me your ID, sir. >> You just said to me, you asked me to slow down and I didn't, and I'm sitting still, sir.

I heard everything come back and they said, "I'm done." >> Tag. I didn't >> I'm the owner of the car. >> I know. I just check in to see who you are. >> Right. >> But you don't have any articulable suspicion of what's crime. >> I told you to slow down and you kept on going. >> How can you tell me to slow down when I was sitting still, sir? How can you tell me to slow down? >> Sitting still when you went blowing by me. >> You weren't up there. I was standing right there. >> This gentleman here told us to pull in >> stepped out in the road to tell you to stop. >> No, he told us to pull in here. >> He grabbed my ID. This cop grabbed my ID out of my car. I mean, you don't have no problem, brother. >> No, I ain't got no problems. serious right now. Sir, can you have my wallet back to me and I'll take my ID out. You don't need my wallet. It's got money in it. Last catalyst. It's a hard place Central. [clears throat] That comes back to John M. Stewart out of Walling, Tennessee.

You tell me why you reached in my car and grabbed my ID like that? >> Because I asked you to hand them to me and I could have put you in cuffs. >> What's your location? >> I asked you to slow down. You did not slow down. >> I had every right to pull you out of this car and detain you when I asked you for your name and you did not give your name. I asked you for your license. You did not give me your license. Please explain to me what do you mean you asked us to slow down. We >> When I told you to slow down and you did not slow down, you only slowed down when the man stepped out in front of your car, >> sir. >> And told us to pull in, did he not? And we pulled in here. >> Yes. After he stepped in front of your car to keep you from hitting him. So that's the only time you stopped. So I'm not going to tell you that again. I do have a right to detain you. >> There's nothing >> I do have a right to ask you for your ID. We were slowing down to come through this intersection. We don't know what's going on with the lawful order. >> I do have a right to ask you for your ID at any time. >> So whether you want to or not, you do have to comply with that. Whether you're recording that or not, >> that the recording is just for me. That ain't got anything to do with slowing down. We come over this hill. We don't know what's going on. >> You came down through there and you saw blue lights right there and then I tell you to slow down. You did not slow down. You kept on going right past me >> doing 5 miles an hour. No, you were not doing >> this gentleman come out and slowed us down. >> 30 miles an hour. >> We weren't doing 30 miles an hour. >> Yes, you were doing more than that.

I'm sure we might have been doing 35 or 40, but I wasn't doing no 35 or 40 when we come up to you or that gentleman over there. >> Slow down. And you didn't. You went right past me and then he stepped out in front of you. >> So that's the reason why you were being detained. You understand that? I do understand that. >> All right, slow down. >> Thank you, sir. >> Speed limit's 30 mph all the way down through here. >> And I'm not We weren't going over 30. >> Yes, you were. When you come past me, you were. >> Let us go. >> Believe me, I can tell. >> All right. >> For a living. All right. >> What was your name again, sir? >> I told you all that. You got it recorded. >> Pat. Okay. Are we free to go? >> Just a second. Soon as this car goes by. >> Hang on. Don't back up yet. >> That's it. Come on. >> Surprised they didn't try to get yours cuz you're in this county. You know it. >> The stop never moved beyond opinion and repetition. Instead of articulating a clear violation, the officer relied on pressure, authority, and escalation to force compliance. What should have been a simple traffic interaction turned into an unnecessary confrontation driven by refusal to explain lawful grounds. The moment the officer crossed into the vehicle made it clear this was no longer about speeding, but about control. This tyrant no longer works with Bledsoe County TN Sheriff's
