So, the reason why you got pulled over, as you passed me, I noticed you had your phone up. >> No, my phone was right here. >> Well, maybe it was my mistake then. Then I stand corrected. >> Have a good day. >> No, you're in pretty good. You seem to be in a hurry, right? >> Let me start over. Okay. >> Please do. >> I said I noticed you with your phone. You corrected me. You said your phone was us up. >> You didn't have your phone yet. So, I was I was mistaken. I had a good idea. >> So, then you got me for something else now. >> Yes, sir. >> This stop happened in Midland, Texas after an officer pulled a man over claiming he was using his phone while driving. That reason started to fall apart almost immediately when the man showed proof that his phone was mounted and not in his hand. Instead of ending the stop, the officer tried to restart the interaction and justify keeping him there. The man stayed composed, questioned the shifting explanation, and refused to go along with a stop that no longer had a clear reason. As the officer struggled to explain himself and demanded compliance without proof, the man controlled the conversation, pushed back on every claim, and forced the situation into territory the officer clearly did not expect. >> Sir, I'm officer Gilbert Millan Police Department, sir. Ma'am, >> and so the reason why you got pulled over, as you passed me, I noticed you had your phone up. >> No, my phone was right here. >> Well, maybe it was my mistake then. Then I stand corrected. >> Have a good day. No, you're not pretty good. You seem to be in a hurry, sir. >> Was I speeding? >> Yes, you were. >> No, I was not. >> Okay. You You weren't speeding. >> No, sir. >> All right. Your license, please. >> Do you have me clocked for speeding or did you pull me over for that? Because that's the first time you told me >> you pulled me over for that. Now you're telling me speeding. >> Let me start over. >> Please do. >> I said I noticed you with your phone. You corrected me and said your phone was just up. You >> didn't have your phone yet. So, I was I was mistaken. I had >> So, then you got me for something else now. >> Yes, sir. Okay. Okay. >> You have a supervisor? >> I do have a supervisor. So you don't get >> your license, please. >> What did you clock me at? >> Sir, I did not clock you. >> Exactly. So I wasn't speeding because I saw you whenever I turned off a Garfield and I am obviously not going to speed past the cop. Whenever I passed you, I was going 16 miles an hour. >> It's 25 on these road. 20 or 25 on these road is quite a distance away. I'm going to give you a warning. Let you go. You want to talk to me supervisory? >> All right. I'll call my supervisor. >> So you're holding me here. You asked for your supervisor. I'm >> because you're asking for my license for no reason because I wasn't speeding and I'm not going to give you my license unless I was speeding. >> All right. So, you want >> So, if you're good with it and I can drive away, I don't need your supervisor. But if you But if you want my license and you're going to violate my Fourth Amendment, you're absolutely getting your supervisor. >> You want me to call my supervisor? >> Are you Do you want my license? >> Yes, I want your license. >> Get your supervisor here. All right. 13 Sir, those are fellow officers. Not not my supervis supervisor outside town. So, he's coming over. Okay. >> Great use of resources there, sir. >> Great use of resources there. >> Okay. You again, you asked for a supervisor. So, >> well, because you're trying to violate my fourth amendment, >> sir. >> Are you or are you not? Why do you need my license if I wasn't speed? If I didn't commit an infraction, why do you need my license? >> Visually, >> you can't pace from sitting still. You cannot pace from sitting still. >> Argue with you. Okay. >> Well, then prove your point. >> So, let me explain. How do you know I was speeding? I'll sit here and shut up. You tell me how you know I was speeding. >> Visually, you came up rapidly behind me. You were speeding. My interpretation. I didn't get you on radar. So, that is why I told you you were speeding. Okay. >> You don't You don't know that. So, [clears throat] you don't get my license. >> You don't have to give me a license. You want a supervisor? I ask you, I was going to give you a verbal. Let you go. But my supervisor my supervisor on his way. So, that's where >> No, no, no. You wanted my license to give me a verbal. >> This all would have been done if you would if you wouldn't have said you needed my license for nothing. >> Did you heard what I said? that you don't know any violation and you wanted my license. >> You were speeding. >> I was not speeding. >> That's your interpretation and mine. >> No, that's the truth. Cuz it said 16 miles an hour on I'm telling the truth. >> You don't You wanted to ID me. You You guys don't like it when citizens don't bow down to you. >> So you don't have to bow down to me. >> You let me be on my damn way without violating my fourth amendment. >> You can you can argue and say what you want to say, dude. Why do you have me stop right now? >> You want me to start over? >> And I will too and we can shake hands and be done. I will calm down. >> Sir, I'm calm. >> Exactly, sir. So, I'm driving. I saw you behind me. I saw the phone up. I thought you had your phone in your hand. Okay. So, I pulled you over because of the phone. When I came up to here, you corrected me and told me and this you're right. It's on It's on the mount. You said it was on the mount. I said, "Sir, I stand corrected." Exactly. >> Have a good day. Hey, you're on your way. >> No. And I said you were speeding. >> You You said we're going to start over. That's where I'm trying to >> start over. But you're still wrong. We can start over, but you can be wrong. You can be right. We can all be going back and forth. I'm just explaining. You asked me to start over. >> So I said you were speeding. You came behind me. I pulled over visually caught you speeding. You said you weren't speeding. Okay, that's your interpretation and you're you're the driver. You you have the right to say what you >> believe is the truth. I can't dispute what you say is the truth. I'm just telling you what I saw and what I interpret and I did not get you in radar. You're exactly right. I did not. So I said you were speaking. I asked your license. You said no. You said I'm violating your Fourth Amendment. >> Absolutely. >> I said okay. You said you want a supervisor. Okay. I was going to give you a verb and let you go. I said my supervisor on the side of town. I can call him if you want the supervisor. And I did. >> If you got to have that license, I want to talk to the supervisor. >> And that's that's where we are. So at the end of the day, >> so now I'm not trying to violate your Fourth Amendment right now. >> But you're holding me. But you are sir. And I told you >> in a you're in a gray area right now, right? >> What's a gray area? [clears throat] >> You are detaining me right now. >> Yes. >> For invoking my Fourth Amendment. >> That has nothing to do with Fourth Amendment. >> It does because you don't get that license unless I made >> in fact to do with me having probably caused that you violated. >> I'll tell you what, you go back there and write a ticket for me speeding. >> Uhhuh. >> And we can meet in court, but only if you write a ticket for not you to yourself for not using a blinker whenever you got over. Whatever I >> when you got over right here and I passed you. No blinker used. >> So if you ride a ticket to yourself for not blinkering to for not signaling to get over. Yeah. You can write a ticket to me too. >> Where? >> Right here. Whenever you parked right here when did I get over in >> You got over to park. >> There's only two lanes. >> You got over to park. >> I did not get over to park. Again, it's your interpretation. My interpretation. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I'll take the ticket if you want to write yourself. >> I'm not going to write myself a ticket when I >> Yeah, cuz the government the state can never be wrong. Huh? >> The state can be wrong. >> You're wrong. right now, buddy. >> And I did not pull >> You're wrong right now. You pulled me over for that phone. >> It's a single lane. >> You pulled me over for that phone and you were wrong. >> And I corrected myself. I told you you're wrong. >> But you still got to get that license. It's like crack to you guys. I don't understand that. You got to have it. Let me have that license. I don't want my as a as a citizen, I don't want my information entered into a database any more than it has to be. >> And sir, okay, you can say that. I was even going to enter. I was going to look at the license and give you >> You don't But you don't get to do that unless I've done something wrong. Sorry, my interpretation again. You You did >> So you think that How fast do you think I was going? >> You're going over 10% over the speed limit. [laughter] >> You're out of your mind, bro. >> Sir, my interpretation. >> You're out of your mind. So if the speed limit here is Is it 20 or 25? I was doing 16. >> Is it 20 or is it 20 or 25 right here? >> If you say you're doing 16, that is your interpretation. >> Is it 20 or 25 right here? >> I don't know. You tell me. >> You don't know. >> No, you tell me. >> You don't either way. So if it's 20, 10% over would be 22. >> If it's 25, 10% over is 2.5 miles. >> Okay. So 27.5. >> So you visually saw me going 27.5 miles an hour. >> Yes, sir. >> You need to get your You need to get recalibrated, man. >> Okay. Your interpretation of recalibration. It's fine. >> You're in the wrong, >> sir. You're in the wrong. We're going to argue and >> you're in the wrong. There's argument because you're in the wrong. >> We're arguing right now. We're talking. >> There's no argument. I'm telling you what the truth is. >> I'm being >> by my government for doing nothing wrong because you have to have my ID >> cuz you violated traffic offense. Yes. >> No, I didn't. >> Your interpretation. >> You're a liar, dude. Don't come back up to this car. Get your supervisor. I'm not talking anyway. Like I said, >> not talking to you anymore. You're a liar. Hey sir. >> Sir, how you doing? >> What can I do for you, man? >> I'm wondering why I'm still here. >> Well, apparently you called for a supervisor >> because he wants my license when I have committed no traffic infraction. When your officer first got up to this vehicle, he said he pulled me for this. >> Okay, >> because that's up there. When that was wrong, then he tells me that I'm speeding. I know for a fact I wasn't. I looked down at 16. The whole time I was behind him and past him, I looked down. I was 16 mph. Okay. [clears throat] >> But he wants to get my license. He already told me. He hasn't clocked me. He estimated my speed from a standstill, which you can't pay from a standstill. He says I'm going 10% over the posted speed limit. >> Okay. >> From a standstill. He knows this. I'm not giving up my license unless I'm unless you're threatening to take me to jail. >> Okay. >> It I'm not the war you guys want right now with all y'all have going on. I was going 16 miles an hour, but I'm not going to vi I'm not going to let him violate my Fourth Amendment when he was wrong. >> Okay. So, you just What do you want now? What is it that >> I want to be for my government and on my way? >> Okay. >> It's not funny. >> Well, I mean, you sat here waiting for me when >> Because he wouldn't let me go. >> Okay. All you need to do is verify that you have a driver's license. >> Not going to do it. He doesn't have a reason to see it. >> Well, now, yeah, actually, we do have a reason to see it. >> What reason is that? >> Because we can actually stop you to check your driver's license. Yes, we can. >> Not unless Yeah. And not unless I've committed an infraction. >> We actually can. I I search the traffic code. It'll tell you right there. But that's all he wanted to verify. He's going to send you on your way. >> No. >> So, go. I'll let you go. Go. >> Thank you very much. What's your name? >> Wilson. >> Wilson. Badge number. >> 330. >> Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. This interaction ended the same way it unfolded with the officer unable to justify the stop and still demanding authority he never proved he had. The man never raised his voice to gain control. He used facts, timing, and refusal to comply with a shifting story. When the supervisor arrived, the situation quietly ended, and the driver was sent on his way. No citation, no explanation, and no accountability.
