I don't know what I did. >> I just told you, sir, you were speeding. >> I was not speeding. I never went over 25 m an hour. >> Where you headed to? >> I don't understand what any of that matters. If you're going to write me a ticket for speeding, then write me a ticket for speeding. We'll go to court. >> I will. >> Okay. This is the deal here. I'm going to go back and I'm going to run your name. >> Okay. >> I'm going to come back and I'm going to give you a chance to think about you getting out of the car. >> Well, you're on a power trip. In this video, a late night traffic stop in Crawford County, Michigan, a deputy pulled over a driver claiming he was speeding, yet never once stated the actual speed. From the moment the deputy walked up, he was already demanding answers about where the man was going and where he was coming from, even though none of it had anything to do with the alleged speeding claim. Instead of handling a simple citation, the deputy kept circling the same questions and trying to force a narrative that something more was going on. When the driver refused to give up private information, the deputy lost patience and tried to push authority by ordering him out of the car while misquing Michigan law and even insisting the man was inside a police car. The situation turned into a power struggle where the deputy used intimidation instead of professionalism. All because he was not getting the answers he wanted. Watch how this deputy exposed his own ego. >> I don't know what I did. >> I just told you so you were speeding. >> I was not speeding. I never went over 25 m an hour. Yeah, you did, sir. >> No, I didn't. >> Okay. >> Absolutely not. I never went over 25. >> Where are you headed to? >> What does that I don't understand what any of that matters. >> If you're going to write me a ticket for speeding, then write me a ticket for speeding. We'll go to court. >> I will. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> But other than that, I haven't done anything wrong. >> Okay. I'm going to ask you one more time to step out of the car. >> Okay. I'll step out of the car. >> Mary, that's a really good decision you just made. Put your cigarette out. Well, [clears throat] you're on a power trip, huh? >> No, there's no power trip, sir. Absolutely. I'm just doing what the law allows me to do. >> What law are you referring to? The Michigan law, sir. >> What Michigan law? It's not the statute that you're referring to. >> Michigan law requires you to step out of the vehicle when asked by an officer. Do you understand that law? >> No. Apparently, I don't because it doesn't exist. >> It doesn't exist. >> No. What probable cause do you have for having me to have to cab out of the car? >> Because I asked you to. >> You asked. Is it a lawful order? >> Yes, sir. >> Really? >> Yes, sir. >> How? >> What do you mean how? >> Yeah, I'm asking you how. Why? >> What? What do you mean how? >> Yeah. What is your your reasonable articulable suspicion? I committed. >> All I can do is ask you to. >> Right. I just asked you if you were asking me or telling me. If it was a lawful order. You said that it was a lawful order. Now you're saying that you were asking me. >> Can you get a supervisor out here, please? >> I'd like to speak with a sergeant. >> Okay. This is the deal here. I'm going to go back and I'm going to run your name. Okay, >> I'm going to come back and I'm going to give you a chance to think about you getting out of the car. >> Uhuh. No, no. You're >> Listen, who are you talking to? You're not intimidating. >> I'm not trying to intimidate. >> You're going to write me a ticket. >> And then I'm going to ask you to get out of the car. Okay. And if you don't get out of the car, you are going to jail. Do you understand? Do you understand me? >> For what? >> Do you understand? >> Deputy L. >> Do you understand? >> What have I done to create this host? I'm asking you to DS. >> Doesn't matter. Get out of the car. >> Sir, I'm asking you what I did. >> Sir, I'm not going to ask you again. >> You're opening my car door and removing me for what? A speeding ticket? >> I am asking you to get out of the car. >> And I told you I would get out. >> Then get out. >> I don't understand why you're being this way. >> Being which way, sir? >> You're being hostile. You're being hostile. >> Deescalate, sir. >> Deescalate. I'm not upset. What do I need to deescalate me? You're threatening me. >> No, it's not a threat. Okay, listen. Here's the deal, sir. >> Can I Can I ask you something? >> Not till I'm done talking. Not till I'm done talking. >> What is with your power? >> Until I'm done talking. It's not a power. >> Why are you being authorative over me? Do you want to write me, sir? Go ahead. >> Keep talking. Okay. Keep talking and let me know when you're done. >> I'm sorry. >> You let me know when you're done. Keep your hands out of your pocket. >> You let me know when you're done and then I will talk. >> Okay. I'm done. >> You are you sure? >> Yes, sir. You're not going to interrupt anymore? >> No, I'm not. >> Okay. Michigan law requires you to get out of a police car when requested by a police officer. >> I wasn't in a police car. >> I'm I'm not done. >> I'm not done talking. >> You told me when I >> I said when I'm I asked you to to if you were going to be done talking so I could talk. >> Sir, I was done talking. >> Go ahead.

That's what I just said. You >> You are not in a police car, sir. >> You just told me I was in a police car. When you tell me to get out of Can you please help me out here? >> No. Nobody's going to help you out. >> You said that you would talk. Go ahead. >> If you would stop, I would explain. >> Oh, okay. I'm going to explain. You explain to me what the >> You just told me when I'm asked to get out of a police car. >> When you're When you're asked to get out, what you said? When you are asked to get out of your car by a police officer, is your body camera? >> You are required to by law. Do you understand that? >> I do understand what you're saying. >> Perfect. >> I don't agree with it, but I understand. >> It doesn't matter if you agree with it or not, sir. Has no effect on it. >> Okay. >> Are we clear? >> Yes, sir. >> Good. I'm glad you understand Michigan law. >> How much have you had to drink tonight? >> Nothing. >> Not except >> I don't drink at all. >> You don't? Okay. Well, you're displaying behavior like you have been. >> No, I'm not.

Go right to Sierra. >> It's all over the Oh, you're going to start throwing names out. I know Sierra mean anything. >> I know cops. >> Nope. >> I'm just saying that none of them have like you. I've never had this experience with a cop ever. >> Never. >> Wow. >> It's fine, sir. If you'd like to give me a ticket, I'll accept the ticket. I'll take it to court. Fine. >> Yep. Of course. >> It's fine. >> Of course you will. We got about another freaking 11 minutes though and this is unlawful. I mean >> Oh, now we're unlawful. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> There's a reasonable expectation for a speeding ticket time frame and all that stuff. Just sitting here for no reason.

Okay, sir. >> This stop showed how a simple speeding claim turned into a full-blown ego trip. The deputy kept asking pointless questions and pushing authority with nothing to back it up. The driver was frustrated and had every reason to be, but he still refused to fold to the pressure. And when the deputy realized he could not squeeze a single answer out of him, he issued a violation just to save
