I don't buy that I don't care how cheap it is I got you stop and they're looking fishing for a reason to make it valid that's what that's happening you had anything to drink tonight I'm not going to answer any of your questions but well actually you have to answer questions with it's a traffic stop what law is that it's the laws of the United States what were what were you up to before you left here sir I'm not going to help you with this fishing expedition of yours how you doing sir pretty good I have your license and registration please the officers initiated the traffic stop claiming the driver had driven radically and nearly caused two accidents under Florida statutes section 316.610 law enforcement may stop a vehicle if they reasonably believe it poses an immediate danger to others or violates traffic laws however the driver adamantly denied the allegations demanding to see evidence like dash cam footage to substantiate the officer's claims this insistence immediately placed the officers under scrutiny for potentially fabricating the basis of the stop yes ma'am what the reason for the stop I'll let you know I just need your information first I can know who you are well I mean I think you should tell him the reason for the stop if it's legal or not then you could go for the license registration but I'll go with the with the gimmick for right now it is okay okay so the reason for the stop back on 22 34 you almost hit a car and then you kind of been that's not true weaving in and out of the Lan that's not true I was driving I seen you guys following me a little too close I'm like let me move over maybe you're trying to get through I switch Lane I see you switching after I already know you guys was in this sh stop L let me go for it and here it is so there's none of that you have your you your driver's license sir um driver's license I have a driver license you know there's another officer right here okay you got it okay okay CH you we've been all over the road you almost hit two cars back no that's not true that's not true at all okay that's fine it's on camera so you don't have to worry about yeah then you know you'll have that proof as in camera yeah and um drink anything tonight you haven't been drinking or anything tonight well we could go down that route but I'm going just go that I'm not answering any questions and uh your partner why is he shining the light towards my camera trying to Blind the camera what's the purpose of that H I'm not going to explain all that to you I'm asking if you had anything to drink tonight and uh I'm saying which I clearly just Illustrated and it's on camera I am not going to answer any of your questions but well actually you have to answer questions with regards to to drinking or anything like that with it's traffic it's a traffic what law is that okay okay what law is that it's the laws of the United States of America what law is that can you cite it okay what law says that I have to answer question cuz I remember the law says you're in traff you have the right to remain silent h actually that's only if it's an ear criminal investigation the US supre cour what what investigation are you doing right now I'm doing a DUI investigation which is a cal inves the US Supreme Court which is uh criminal or non-criminal okay okay thank you when asked if he had been drinking the driver immediately invoked his right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment no person can be compelled to incriminate themselves during a police investigation the officers insisted the driver had to answer citing a DUI investigation but the driver held firm reminding them that their mere suspicion did not override constitutional protections this resistance effec ly highlighted the officer's overreach and left them fumbling for a valid response is this your car sir I've already answer a question to the young lady she my traine is this your car well you could ask your trainee cuz I've already communicated with her she's the one that made the stop right I'm just simple question is this it's a simple question I do not need to answer 500 questions to 500 people the officer is making their stop I've already talked there her she had my information thus she's done doing her job I mean I don't want understand what's going on here so the training is let's stop a random guy and see if we could pin something on him is that what's going on right now ma'am sir I'm saying what is the training here stop a random person if we see if we can pay something on them is that what the training is you know well that it's not it at all I know well so then I know then they have a value reason to stop me then that's what you're saying mhm uh-huh so what is that valid reason I wasn't here it's not my stop it's their stop they can answer your questions okay I got it I'm here simply just to make sure that I understand that so then I'm saying that if I know very well that's mean you have some assumption that I knew what I did wrong that's what you're assuming since you weren't here you can't make that conclusion that's correct right you can talk to the officer as to why you were sto if you not if you are not aware as to why you were stopped you may ask officer that stop I heard why they said I was stop I heard that what I'm saying is the stop is invalid in the reason they're stop you have your own belief system however there if there is a Florida State Statute that is in violation it is a valid stop yeah if there is that's that's correct if there is a flid Florida statute that is a violation there a valid stop but what if there isn't then the stop becomes I'm not here to make assumptions and I'm not here to go with what ifs not you just did you know very well why you were stopped so therefore that's an assp I'm not going to go back and forth with you you're the one trying to weave around the question that I just stated I said is this one of those stop where're just looking for something you didn't know you know very well then you started weaving trying to prevent yourself from answering the question that it might be are youal stop cuz it's not in your favor to say that that's it we do we don't make it invalid stop you don't no really is that something we do how do you guys get sued then huh how do you guys get sued people Sue anybody for anything at yeah so how do how do you win how do you win a lwuit against the police irrelevant how do you win a lwuit against the police Sue anybody for any that is accurate but how do you win the lwuit we're not going to go back and forth that's not a back and forth again that's you making the Assumption again and then you're backing up of it that's what I'm saying it's is just it's ridiculous oh another question um is it legal to tell me I'm supposed to self-incriminate myself I don't know where you're what you're trying to ask I'm ask like if you ask me a question you said hey um did I break into the store over there is it legal to tell me that I have to answer that is that a legal standpoint I'm not allowed to answer legal questions like that all but the officer that was I'm not going to answer what El I got you but the officer that was just right here was telling me that I have to incriminate myself like if he asked me a question of something I did that is a crime that I have to tell him that's a valid statement I'm not allow to give you legal advice no no that's you're an officer that's what he was saying so is he right I'm not going to give you legal that's not legal advice that's your cop saying that I was supposed to do something so then he's telling me I have to answer him so you're saying he's wrong I'm just telling you I'm not getting IL that's what I'm telling you so in conclusion you're saying he's wrong cuz if he was right just like you said the traffic stop was right you would have backed them and the traffic stop was right okay I got you this is who that St Petersburg yes sir St Petersburg foras at his fins okay now this poor young lady right here it's not her fault you know she has to back the blue is the line she has to follow the instructions and back her friends or colleagues it's not her fault I understand it's the situation that and now the officer that was here since he said the young lady was a trainee he has more experience um I forgot to get his name so he knows the statement he's making is false hoping that maybe he could pressure me or bully me into something which I have on camera I'll review that later on that based on Florida codes and law I have to answer his questions pertaining to Ay sto tell them that if I've been drinking or not and blah blah blah blah blah which is false cuz the law says you have the right to remain remain silent that I don't have to answer any question they ask me period besides present my driver's license which I gave it to them I didn't have to give it to them but I could present my driver license and that is it but here we are um another thing can you please inform your colleagues that there is a time that a traffic stop reasonable time for a traffic stop to be conducted which is a driver's license check which you're doing it right there which shouldn't take 15 minutes um I have stuff I have to do if your training cannot get the information within that reasonable time that is up to you to train them afterwards or off my time not within my time so the reasonable traffic stop is how long how long here I already asked you so I'm not going to go back and forth with oh you're not going to back and forth which is what I just said right now you're not going back and forth cuz I cornered you in that same inform that you to go back and forth question you how are you going to ask me what's the traffic stop when you're the officer I'm not going back and forth because you don't want to what you don't want to give out the information so it will be on camera that you're stating how long it's supposed to be regardless of anything you will never accept what I tell you okay then tell me no then tell me cuz you have there's no reason to you have not offered any information here that I didn't take that is valid tell me one information that you told me that I said no I'm not taking precisely my point that silent mean none so you haven't offered any information that you said this is the information and I said no I'm not taking it so what is the reasonable amount of time here what is this supposed to be 45 minutes an hour two days what is the reasonable time cuz I'm pretty sure you know that's part of your training so I'm like keep me an average the blink there doesn't mean anything it means that you're on the defensive and you're trying to silent Me by intimidating with the look it doesn't mean anything it means that you're not answering the question because you know my my statement is valid reasonable amount of time for a traffic stop that's all I'm asking on camera what is the reasonable amount of time for a traffic stop that involves what exactly what what is taking this long for this traffic stop here we're at 17 minutes silence that's what it is it is because I'm not going back and forth with you about it yes but you haven't went forth at all well because I'm not going to complete if you went back you it'll be back and forth but you never went forward you never went back you just see signing so how you going back and forth the presence of a trainee officer further complicated the stop under Florida statutes section 94310 trainees must operate under the supervision of certified officers ensuring compliance with proper procedures however the lead officer used the trainee as an excuse to prolong the interaction seemingly teaching questionable tactics rather than lawful protocol the driver's sharp awareness exposed this manipulation painting the department in an unflattering light wo Jesus Christ why are you raising your camera trying to block The View so I can't see your face on the camera you know is wouldn't that wouldn't that be you blocking evidence what's what's the what's the word for that right now your flashlight was down you're raising your flashlight very subtly to hinder the camera from Catching your face on camera which we're having the conversation right now about what's going on here so why are you doing that and it's on camera so you can't say it wasn't happening what's your name man officer CL officer Klein Klein Klein officer Klein now what you said so what's your name officer Bowers officer so they they said your driving pattern was concerning caused a couple crashes do they have that what's going on on video to show you rather than what they're saying they might I don't know you know that's what I'm saying should make them show you the video they claim they have it on video so you can see what they're saying if it match up with what the statement is then yeah I'm not going to do that I'm asking you well I'll tell you my driving was fine this is a bogus traffic stop cuz they have a trainee they're looking for information but probably show them how to do a regular traffic stop and you guys know the routine so I'm fine they know it's bogus and that's where we at right now they know it's bogus of course who's they who you think to go I guess I don't have any idea idea okay so we're going to play that game I got you well this is the bogus traffic stop and I would like for them to conclude the traffic side that's been going it's not it's not being concluded right now so well then then you guys have to conclude it cuz the traffic stop have reasonable you say it's bogus all you want it doesn't I got you okay so your legit traffic stop has a certain amount of time that supposed to go through right reasonable time no it does have reason reasonable yes what is the reasonable time put the traffic down as long as it takes as long as it take yeah which is what 2 days 5 days sometimes people go to jail for days yeah yeah yeah that that's that's not a traffic stop then that's something else they escalated something else but what is a reasonable time for the traffic stop like as long as it takes them okay so we're going to go down they got to okay well then they got to do checks on you if they got to write tickets all that stuff well tell them then conclude their traffic stop so I could be on my way I have my wife at the side of the highway and not in Fort Meers she's she ran out of gas I need to get down there so I'm right now I'm on the Hun for gas this bogus traffic stop is hindering my process so you're on your way to Fort Myers I'm looking for gas right now to head the Fort Myers yes where you coming from I'm coming from up the road you guys blocked the road so I can continue looking for gas and I turn around and I'm about to go down this area to find gas station all over the place so my Hunt is for gas right now okay what what had you driving on the all over the road like I told you the GPS look at their video P go look at their video to conclude that lie that they made is a lie until then I'm not doing I'm asking you about it and I'm telling you it's a lie so what what you how you ask me something that you haven't seen for yourself what kind of s that the officer is not lying to me oh he's not lying to you no no he saw something he informed me about maybe what he saw was wrong opportunity to okay I got you so maybe what he saw was wrong maybe misinterpreted it's right like yeah maybe it's right yeah maybe it's right so how do we determine if he's right or wrong cuz right now anal you and I'm telling you it's wrong so right now you're analyzing my speech analing my pattern to see if if what he's saying match or if I'm under influence or whatever doing that escalation of whatever it is entire thing is that every all of this is wrong and bogus and we need to just let you go you don't have any explanation you don't have any explanation for why you might have been driving all over that has never happened your officer pulled behind me I've been driving steadily the whole time he got a little close to me which I he was starting to run my tag which what you guys usually do at that point I switch Lane he's switching after me so I continue my path my yeah I'm about to get pulled over 3 minutes down the line I get pulled over that's exactly what happened and I don't know where she is I she's a trainy or something like that wherever she is she know what the supervisor arrived and wasted no time declaring that the officer was truthful and the driver was lying Florida statutes section 11107 mandates fair and unbiased investigations yet the supervisor blatantly disregarded This legal requirement refusing to review the evidence or hear the driver's side of the story he demonstrated clear bias his action strongly suggested he was protecting the officer rather than Seeking Justice this encounter exposed deeper corruption within the department undermining public trust in law enforcement I don't care if your camera sees me it's been looking at me for 5 minutes that's what I'm saying so there's no point of I'm sorry I messed up your picture on your okay listen have you had anything to drink tonight I do not answer question and I know where you're going with this that's why you flashing the light close to me to see if my eyes will diate I know the pattern man I so so just let's get traffic listen I'm a police officer I'm doing an investigation that's what that's what they pay me to do I got you so that's what I'm doing so I'm asking you questions based on the information and and I and I respect your job but what I'm saying which I told the officer before I know she knowed Aus stop but let's say it was am I supposed to help you in this investigation uh yeah ideally you would cooperate you're wrong then yeah I've seen people not do PL things wrong like right now I'm not doing anything wrong just stopped by what three or four officers so ideally it doesn't work you did do something wrong man they didn't just stop you from sir you cannot tell me that list I don't buy that I don't care how cheap it is I got you so what I'm telling you I cannot believe that you believe 1,00% that every initiation that your cops made with a with a citizen is legit you cannot believe that if that was true not that's ridiculous not that's what you're telling me so I'm telling you this is one of the situation where it's not accurate your officers then illegal stop and they're looking fishing for a reason to make it valid that's all that's happening right now absolutely okay yes listen I told I told you I don't buy it I don't care how cheap it is all right okay listen mhm what were what were you up to before you left here what do you mean what it was up to what what what you been doing today I just CLE told you what I've been doing you said you've been looking for gas yes you looking for gas all day not all day I've been looking for gas since my girl called me since she wasn't outside the highway I'm lost before that sir I'm not going to help you with this fishing expedition of yours you trying to find out what I was doing before so I can say I was doing this you like oh were you doing that were you doing this all the flashing light checking my expression and all that you could do all of that I do not do anything or doing anything my D my driving was perfect like I said your cops pull me over illegally and they're fishing for a reason to make it valid and I'm not going to help you to make it valid okay you can Flash the light analyze me as much as you want my eyes are not dilating or doing any craziness I'm not high so get your job I mean make them get their job done so we can go about my business yeah I'm trying to figure out why you were driving like that okay let let me let me help you with this distracted none my driving was perfect I repeat it again my driving was perfect I don't know how many times I have to repeat this since you have basically saying you you're Sting with officers my statement is no longer valid right because I'm telling you they're wrong you're saying stat your statement H your statement a statement exactly so my statement is no inv valid so if my statement is no invalid why am I talking to you I'm asking your question Yeah question that means nothing because you're looking to validate their information so therefore why am I be great to validate their information exactly so therefore my talking to you is irrelevant so conclude your investigation there's a reason you were driving the way I'm saying you keep fishing for this reason that you're not going to find it wasn't existing my driving was perfect okay listen then we're just going to have to go off of based on what they saw then uh if you want to do that it's your business go bring up the camera and prove what they saw until then we have nothing else to talk about I cannot help you validate their the false statement just to try to prove a point okay I don't know why you keep watching me I'm not doing anything you keep analyzing me you're looking for a reason to try to asking this situation why you keep analyzing me for I'm looking at you you're looking at me no you're analyzing me you're not looking at me looking at me my eyes right here I'm talking to you you're no analyzing this you're looking at my a movement my hand my stomach my my eyes you're that's analyzing why I'm a police officer I'm looking around I'm observing no you're not looking you're analyzing okay the corrupt officer shifted his Focus to to analyzing the driver searching for any excuse to escalate the situation under the Fourth Amendment officers cannot prolong a traffic stop without Reasonable Suspicion yet this officer extended it unnecessarily effectively harassing the driver he resorted to Illegal practices such as shining a flashlight directly into the driver's Eyes under the guise of testing for signs of intoxication fishing for any pretext to make an arrest in such situations it's crucial to invoke your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and record everything for evidence reminding the officer that their actions can be used against them in court often discourages further misconduct information yes the officer came the the one that says that's his trainee what's his name the officer that was standing here what was it the mail officer yes that's officer Smith officer Smith he said it's on camera that's exactly what he said what is your question so if it's on camera right cuz that like he's when I said no that's not true he's like yeah it's on camera we got it on camera so he wanted to show me that you keep telling me that what is your question my question is if it's on camera wouldn't you be able to verify that sure so wouldn't that be easier to verify their statement on camera then asking me is this true nope then when you were going across the lane I observed you back on 22 so when I came up when you reached over you had to stop you thought I was here you had it in your hand yes because I pulled it out to record the interaction that's what about to happen the video the phone was on my lap like this and I was driving like this so therefore it was not in my hand when you pulled me over I grabbed the phone I turned the camera and then I turned it towards you like this so that's a false statement right there again so here's your option put it out there tick so you can pay it you can will not be paying it that's fine you can fight it out in court I will be fighting it out in court those are your options and you are who again I am officer Anderson officer Anderson yes sir and offic officer Anderson you're the one that initiate the stop or you're uh trainee or what do you what do you call the guyi officer Smith officer Smith is the one that initiate the stop which one you ini the stop okay so just want to make that clear for the record all right right there's that for you thank you ma' LIC say what now driver's licenses and also for the registration you were excited so if you can show proof of the registration when you go to court that'll be out okay okay now while you're here remember that bogus charge I was telling you about while she was here she said she could pull up the registration I could leave it but now she cited me for the registration you know why have a copy of it sir you have pause pause I know what you're saying but you know why she cited me for it because she has to prove the traffic stop is valid they have to throw all that in there like I told you this is it right so that show you I was right again this is one of them wrong but it's fine I'm still wrong but they did not just fight me have a have a nice day sir drive safe okay all right thank you ma'am the driver's knowledge of the law and refusal to submit to questionable demands left the officers with no choice but to end the stop without issuing any citations Florida law prohibits law enforcement from detaining individuals without Reasonable Suspicion as established in Terry versus Ohio by asserting his rights the driver not only dismantled the officer's fabricated case but also exposed their willingness to misuse Authority Under the gu of training this encounter served as a powerful reminder that
