I need your driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. >> Imagine. Imagine being waved out by a Okay, I need to talk to your sergeant. I want to I want to talk. >> The only reason why I call a sergeant is either when you get tased or I take you down or I'll pull you out of the car. So, which one is going to be though? >> I do I do want to talk to the supervisor. >> You either get out of the car or I will pull you out of the car right now. >> No, you can't do that.

You three are fighting each other right now. >> So, I need two of you to get >> Let's figure out the shirt situation. >> No, I am calm. It's these three. They're fighting each other for control. >> I was fighting you. >> No, I'm I wasn't even fighting. >> I was just staying in the car and then when you got me out, I got out. >> But it was you three. I'm >> There you go. Cool. >> Did you just rip my shirt? >> [ __ ] >> Yeah. started getting in a handcuff. Get on your side. Sit up for me. All right. There you go. Cool. Now you're going to jail >> for what? I literally told you that. >> Well, we just This is something we have to deal with. Okay. >> Go ahead. >> I have no idea why we got waved by the pedestrian. >> I know. This is I don't don't talk to them at all. >> It doesn't work. >> Where's your ID at? Like we got wave five pedestrians to move forward. So I don't even see how it was illegal. >> Okay sir. Either you are going to stop manhandling me so aggressively and be a civil officer or I'm going to have >> we're going to have him stand up. >> You are in stand up. All right. >> First up against my car. Place your feet apart. >> Do you have anything sharp? Anything that will poke me, cut me? >> No, sir. >> Okay. >> Currently, you are in breach of your civil duty. >> Thank you, sir. What is your first name? >> Vincent. >> Okay. Vincent, >> I don't know who the first officer was, but he escalated that situation. I do not appreciate that at all. And then he said, "The only reason the only uh reasons I will call my sergeant is either or I take you down or I pull you out." >> Just because you want something doesn't mean we have to. We don't if it's just a simple travel stop. >> Well, that's the thing. >> You got to understand that just because you say I I want a supervisor. We don't need to call the supervisor. >> Well, no, but the thing is is that we have literal we feel this is an illegal stop. So, we needed a supervisor to >> the supervisor can't >> he can't fix anything that we seen ourselves. You get me? >> Well, yeah, but he wasn't taking any sides of the story. He just he was doing his [ __ ] No, >> we're not here. We're not here to take sides. >> Traffic infraction was not about sides. Listen, >> he wasn't taking you listen or you going to keep talking. >> Well, are you going to understand? Cuz like I'm not trying to say like it's not about he's not taking full size. >> You don't take sides. No, full sides like the entire situation in bigger. >> If a crime is committed, we act on it. If a traffic violation makes committed, we act on it. And then >> upon the traffic stop, we investigated regardless of foods go back and forth. We still have to get aside. >> Okay. You say something happened, he seen something. Okay. At the end of the day, it don't matter. >> Simple travel sub. You guys had to comply, be easy, and that's it. >> Yeah. But he wasn't doing that. >> He he he didn't even do he didn't like I could tell like he didn't even think it was a investigation. He literally just did it. >> Every traffic stops investigation. >> Well, that's the thing. It wasn't feeling like that. It was feeling like >> it's not going to protect it because that's the thing. >> Everybody does everybody does everything different. She does a traffic stop different. I do stuff. He does. Everybody does their own stuff different. Everybody talks different. Everybody delivers a message, >> right? >> But if you guys are above him, I can read how you how me and you were talking. I can tell why he act the way he act. >> Oh, I wasn't even talking to him. I wasn't talking to him. That was my fiancé. >> Oh, that's your fianceé. Yeah. How many? >> Two years. >> Two good years or two years? >> Uh, two good years. >> It's It's one of the mo most important lessons I can tell you. There's going to be a lot of moments where you'll fight, but if if not just patience, but there's going to be fights. You're going to have fights that are going to question everything. If you can look upon that person even as you fight, and it is good memories, they're worth it. Yeah. Oh, and always always try to negotiate them. Try to get them out of their comfort zone responsibly to get them to experience things that you would like as well. >> But it's something. But I really don't like that. >> Listen. >> Oh, no. I'm I just got [ __ ] handhandled by three different people and I got accused of resisting, but they were fighting against themselves before I control. That was just crazy. I'm like, what the [ __ ] are you guys doing? You're fighting each other. >> It was just like a shock to you, right? >> Yes. >> I was like, I'm not even I'm not even moving. You guys are the ones. [laughter] >> It's crazy. >> So, you told him to step to step out. He refused, right? >> Several times. And don't forget uh you also pressed my wrist into my >> I did pain compliance to try to get you out of the car which still you refused. >> I said I didn't feel safe. >> And you had to be physically removed. >> So I did it. >> Let's go with your first name again. >> Uh it's Vincent. V I N C E N T. >> Okay. And >> did you get that wrong? >> Nope. And last name. >> Stand up for me. >> Wait a second. I need to get my >> There you go. >> All right. All right, let's put you in my car. >> I mean, if you want me to have shoes on, at the very least, my sandals are on the passenger floor. >> Okay. I don't have anything in your pockets that's going to poke me. >> No, I just have my phone. Okay. >> I don't usually because I don't want to get robbed while I have my ID and my SS uh card. You want me to sit on the edge or on the >> on the seat? You can sit on the seat. >> What up? All right. Hang on. Let's just see you in for now. Have you taken anything tonight? >> Nothing. >> Okay. >> I'm I'm clean as a whistle. I'm barely 20, so I can't really take anything cuz legality. So, I'll tell you this straight up. If you guys would have just been chill, it would have just been a verbal warning. You would have enjoyed the rest of your vacation. >> Yeah. >> Going back to your hotel, that would have been the end of the situation. >> Well, that's the thing. That's what we were trying to say is that we got way through. But >> so, we have to be able to identify you. I guess your friend wasn't willing to provide identification. Well, no. It was he didn't give time for any kind of um what's it called? The the um the um [ __ ] what's the word that you guys take >> in investigations on the sides the the um the um [ __ ] my ADHD is [ __ ] kicking >> statements. That's it. Statements. >> He didn't give time for statements. So, we couldn't tell him appropriately that we were way through. He just escalated. >> Okay. >> So, next thing. When an officer >> tells you to get out of a vehicle on a traffic stop. >> Well, I didn't feel like Well, that's the thing. I didn't even feel like it was a traffic stop. I just felt like it was >> abs I hate to say it, but corruption. >> This is 100% a traffic stop. >> I just It didn't feel like it. Like, honestly, I felt like we were being targeted for something. I don't know what, but I it didn't feel right to me. So, I didn't feel safe at all. >> Motor vehicle. >> The officer has his lights on. >> Well, that's Well, that's another thing. We also He was honking aggressively, but we couldn't really park safely. So, we kind of had to go to a stop sign, then go to the left. So, where we parked is like after three times he tried to get us to or I'm going to assume he said he attempted to. I know. >> I don't want to hit your >> supervisor. >> Yes. >> Go ahead. You requested one. >> I did. Um I was We were both had a pedestrian wave us through that road. >> Okay. >> And we were perfectly fine to go. I even stopped at a green light and that should all be on whatever dash cam camera you guys use. >> That would be on his dash camera if that's what you're saying. >> And as for him pulling me out of the car because I was refusing to show ID. That's not what I was doing. >> Okay. I was telling him that I wanted a supervisor and and I'm I have the legal right to ask for a supervisor. >> You do, but you also have to pro provide the documents that he's asking for regardless if the supervisor is present. Do you understand that? >> Yes, sir. I do. >> But you did not. >> It I was there was a a whole situation there. I was asking for you. I had her in my ear. I had my cousin in my ear and I was doing it. I was also asking for a supervisor. I didn't mean for any of this to escalate to where it has. Okay. >> I got family in law enforcement. I I I really do believe in what you guys do. Okay. Not a bad person. But you started it with an argument with the officer instead of just allowing the the process to happen. >> I all I was telling him is that we were we were waved over by a pedestrian. He said he pulled me over because I didn't yield to pedestrians and I know I did. So that's I wasn't trying to start an argument. I was trying to be like, "Hey, that's not what happened because we were waved over by a pedestrian." Okay. Sorry. Can we help you? something. >> Okay, that's fine. I think you're good cuz Jorge's in the front. >> I >> That vehicle's not even registered. >> It It is. >> If that tag says valid only in the state of North Dakota here in Florida right now. >> I got I was talking with the DMV this morning. They said I was perfectly legal to drive on a temp tag in another state because I have hard plates waiting for me up there. >> But the tag says only valid in North Dakota. >> But temp tags, you're legally allowed to drive in other states. Okay, >> that's a temp tag from the DMV. >> It says >> only in Northakota. >> I'm telling you what the woman from the DMV told me this morning. >> All right. >> The DMV where? >> The North Dakota DMV. >> Okay. And you have North Carolina driver's license? >> Yes, I do. Um, the whole story behind that car is actually a little complicated, but I can guarantee you it's not stolen. The VIN comes back to my fiance's name. >> Okay. Your fiance is >> Vincent >> in the other car. >> Yes. And we bought that car in Kentucky in December of last year. And the person that sold it to us was her uncle. He was the finance manager. >> And he ended up screwing something up on the paperwork and we never received the plates. >> Okay. >> We were using temporary registration from North Carolina. We decided to move, >> go up to North Dakota and that's when we got the temp tag from them. >> Okay. We are traveling right now. We're trying to figure out where to move to before we do go put a bunch of money down on an apartment. So, >> you're saying there is some sort of valid registration for that vehicle somewhere in our system? >> There is. If you look up >> Do we have to run the VIN number then to verify that? >> That's what So, I was pulled over by a sheriff last night over in West Palm Beach who told me the same thing. It ran the VIN and it came back to a hard plate registration in North Dakota. >> In North Dakota. Okay. And you just don't have the North Dakota tag yet? Is that that's why it's a temporary tag? >> Yes, sir. We were traveling when they mailed it out and it's waiting for me at my old address up in North Dakota. >> Okay, >> sir. I promise you I didn't mean for any of this to get where it has. >> Unfortunately, that's where we are right now, though. I I don't have a record and I'm I'm asking like if there's no weapons in the car, but I know you guys have to do your due diligence anyway. >> We do. >> Um >> the BB gun in that car is going to get you shot. >> What? >> Because it doesn't have any sort of markings on it that shows that it's some sort of BB gun. >> So, you have to be careful with that. I'm just giving you forewarning cuz you're in Florida now >> and Florida laws have changed. So, there's lots of open carries everywhere. I understand. Um, we do >> something like that. >> I get it. But at the same time, if it looks real, >> I know >> someone could take it as real. That's just a forewarning. >> We bought it in North Carolina for your benefit. >> That's what the state trooper in North Carolina told us. He was like, "Listen, it looks like a real Glock, so just be careful." So, >> yeah, you you definitely do. >> Um, but doing Door Dash, you got to have some kind of long-distance protection. You know what I mean? >> I get it. Crazy crazy world we're living in. When I actually going to >> I'm going to go talk to that other officer real quick. >> Hello. What's your name? >> Uh Vincent. >> Oh yeah, that's a Nash. Oh, damn. >> A what? >> Uh Nash. I I have a speech impediment. So whatever I say, don't take it. [laughter] >> And uh um the um the um however the word that is how you pronounce things. >> Okay, I got you. >> That's one that articulation. >> Yes, thank you. I have an issue so bad and I've been unmedicated cuz well I didn't really realize my mother had insurance I was 18 so I really thought I was cut off. >> Okay. >> And so I haven't been medication. >> So you haven't been medicating in a while? >> I haven't been medicating for 2 years. >> 2 years. Okay. Well that's a waste, right? >> Hey I did it responsibly though. I weaned myself off until it expired. So I did it safely at the very least. I didn't do it cold turkey. I just weaned. >> Okay. Can you explain to me what happened at the car with the officers when they asked you to get out? >> Uh so basically um well I have to do the entire thing cuz I the entire thing >> the entire thing did not feel safe at all. Not even articulably >> okay >> reasonable. Uh so my fiance was driving. He took a left. I'm just paying attention to my phone. It's a normal night. I really don't care >> what I'm doing. I'm with him. That's all that matter cuz >> apparently our life is in shambles and now this is >> well breaking of the camel's back but that's another story. >> Um >> basically we took a left then I see the lights and the off the cruiser. I don't know the I still don't know the police officer's name because I can't hear that well. I'm terrible. >> It's all right. Don't worry about it. >> No, it's fine. It's fine. Anyway, back on track cuz my dumb ass. Um anyh who, so he's the cruiser is hing uh honk uh I'm sorry um >> signaling for you guys to pull over. >> No, no, no, no. Uh the the um the >> the lights are on at the very >> the lights. Yeah, the lights are on and then um the um the um [ __ ] um um words siren. The sirening aggressively, but we didn't have a safe place for him and us to poke over. Okay. >> So, this is that's the car that that's where the car is. >> Okay. Yep. >> I got you. I'm tracking. That's safe. That got it. And then he came over and he was he told us the reason of not yielding to a pedestrian but and then immediately without getting anything else out of us uh for identification all of that we took it upon ourselves to explain oh we got signaled by the uh pedestrian to move over cuz that's what happens and he doesn't lie he doesn't like bothering cops even if he's in trouble so he really doesn't do bad things not illegal ever because he hates wasting police's time. He even if he's in trouble where you guys are doing your job, he still views it as a waste of your time. So >> that's that's how he felt. So he so >> if he says that he got passed by or passed by by a pedestrian to go through, >> he will go through. He will not take a second guess to look. He's one and done. >> Quick and painless. Everybody goes about their day. But then he the officer in question >> his tone. >> Okay. >> Immediately hostility I can tell cuz I play a lot of COD and all that other game. So >> I know aggression when I hear it because of the aggressive games. >> So >> he switched immediately like he became stance aggressive. >> Okay. >> His right arm went to his utility belt immediately >> and his right arm went to my door or not my door. He was on the driver's side. Sorry, the door of the driver's side. God, >> no worries. No worries. I got you. Um anywh who and uh so because of that my fiance requested supervisor and officer denied stating the only reason why I call my supervisor cuz I'm tasing you taking you down or pulling you out of the car in saying >> um and then my fiance was like no uh that doesn't matter cuz he has family all over he talks to them regularly. >> Yep. He knows things. I don't know. I don't know if he knew. >> I don't know anything. Anyhoo, he knows everything. So, he requested for a supervisor again and the officer being like, "Okay, get the [ __ ] out of the car." Immediately those words and opened the door, pulled pulled him out, slam and roughly slammed him on uh the door uh car. >> Gotcha. >> And so I immediately realized, "Oh [ __ ] this is not good." cuz this officer is not being >> absolute >> neutrality. He's already having a aggressive basis. So, he's against us. He's not doing investigation neutrality by that point. >> So, I was like, "Oh [ __ ] I need to get a supervisor here on my own because he's not going to get it." So, I called 911. >> Um, so if like, "What's going on with this person?" That was me. I called immediately. >> Gotcha. >> Um, and then the officer that was here. to other officers around this one. This one that was sitting here that you were talking to, he came over. He was like, "Okay, you need to step out of the car." I'm like, "No, I don't feel safe because I didn't feel safe at that point. I don't even feel safe that I am going to be treated fairly. I didn't even want to leave the vehicle for my safety. I didn't even want to leave the car door unlocked, but my ADHD forgot to [ __ ] press a button." So, even then, it would have been unsafe. I it's just at that moment anything I did or thought of it ended with me being more frightened. So I did that. He did the um as he stated he got tried to get me out and the pain compliance wrist lock wrist lock. He did do that in a lab but I was more afraid of him and every other officer that was coming around. >> Okay. >> Than the wrist. The my fear was my life. >> Okay. more than anything else. So, I wasn't even compliant because I was scared. Okay. >> So, that's the only reason why I fought him to stay in my car is because >> I don't believe >> so fear fight and fight. I went fight >> and I'm sorry to say it, but that's one of my cuz I've been exposed to >> some reactions, right? >> Well, yeah. But the problem is I will choose fight more than I choose flight simply because of their aggressive behavior. I hate to say it. I do play it a lot of my in my life. I started it young. I still play it to this day. So fighting is basically >> behaviorally installed I would like to say. So and then I got pulled out with a gun. He said as the officer did say he got assistance, but then immediately after I saw I looked to my left cuz I wanted to make sure >> no one was coming from my left to kick me cuz I was in the middle of the sidewalk. >> I see another officer come in. I feel someone on my right. They're all on my back. >> Okay. >> And they keep yelling stuff resisting, but I'm not moving. My arms are moving. Sure, but I'm feeling different forces from different directions. Like, I'm like, >> okay. >> But it wasn't even me doing it. It was them. I'm like, "Stop moving. You're the ones fighting each other. I'm not moving. I'm not resisting." >> All right. >> So, that's that. And that's probably where I got this. >> The little Yeah. From being thrown into the pavement. I really don't know. >> Is that the only thing that >> That's all I feel. Yeah, I feel other than that. This is the only spot I'm feeling pain in. So, I >> on the on the on the knee. >> Yeah. Other than that, I feel fine. >> I got you. >> Um, >> do you mind if I get a picture of your knee real quick? >> Uh, actually shine. No, no, no. You don't need >> I don't want to shine directly on it because otherwise it'll wash it out. So, >> yeah. Closer closer to the center is where you'll get better lighting. >> Okay. uh center. Oh, I see. I see. >> Yeah, the center of your flashlight. You'll get better light there. Right there. And then >> Yeah, but it washes it washes out. >> Well, not the center center. Near the center now. >> No, I got you. >> Tilt your phone a little lower. >> I got you. Perfect. Perfect. There we go. >> Yeah. >> Is that it though? That bridge right there. >> Uh we didn't even know this was a thing until the mile bridge. >> What's that? >> Uh the this uh festival here. We didn't even know it was a thing. >> Yeah. >> We never knew. >> Yeah. >> It's a well-kept secret, I guess. >> No, no, we >> not that well kept. >> No, it's not a secret. We're that out touch of base. We're not We're not >> This has been going on for 20 years. It's not something >> This is our first time being here. So, we >> never been down to the Keys before. Never been to Florida before. >> I've been to Florida as a child, but that was from It's a You know how um families are with their kids being enclosed and things. >> I had that life basically. I was inclined in things. They revealed what they wanted me to. >> Well, I'm going to I'm going to educate you a little bit here. Okay. Just so you know. >> So, I educated your friend as well. Your fiance, I'm sorry. >> No, no, no. You're perfectly fine. No one knows. So, >> as far as is when you're in Florida and what Florida cuz when you're in Florida, you go by Florida laws, correct? >> So, when an officer conducts a traffic stop, whether you agree with them or not, >> right? And you request the information to be provided during the traffic stop. >> Okay. And you refuse to give that information. It's not that we didn't never said the word no. We never did. And we never even got a chance to say yes or no. >> We were just explaining before we handed it the our side of the story so that way he may have it for his reporting. >> So we were just trying to be helpful and he took it well aggressively as I stated which is why I wasn't fair in my life. >> K there I wasn't there for that. >> No that's why I'm talking. >> All I'm going to say is is that as far as everything that I understand that it wasn't provided and it wasn't it wasn't person >> basically offered immediately when the officer asked for it. It wasn't given up. The supervisor was requested. He explained to you >> the the the reason supervisor typically come to the scene and stop not providing ID is not one of those reasons because that's a requirement. It's just a requirement of having a driver's license. When you get pulled over, that's your responsibility. You're supposed to to to give those documents, right? Regardless, you could fight it in court all day long. You do whatever. >> 100%. But that wasn't really doing it is is would be in the state of Florida considered resisting. Okay. Then there's Pennsylvania versus Mint. That's a federal law. Okay. Federal law says that if I request you step out of the vehicle, you have to step out of the vehicle on a traffic stop. You do. And that's US law, right? That went all the way through the Supreme Court. On the other side of it, if you're a passenger in the vehicle on a traffic stop federally, and it's Maryland versus Wilson, if you're told to step out of the vehicle on a traffic stop, you have to comply with that rule. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, you have to understand the minute the minute you don't do those things, >> you're resisting. And that's and that's federal case law. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, that's kind of where we're at right now because once they tell you to get out and you don't, >> you now you're violating that law. Do you understand? Okay. >> And in the in the circumstance, I was more scared. >> No. And I get it. I can understand where you're coming from on that. Okay. But beyond that little scratch on your knee. Okay. >> Yeah. I don't feel anything. I'm weird with my body, but with pain, I can feel where I'm hurting and I'm not Just the sting on the knee. Okay. >> It's more annoying. >> Okay. I'm going to go talk to this officer over here again. Go ahead and put your foot back in the car for me. Okay. Thank you very much. >> Yeah. You're welcome. >> Is it normal that you take people in for this? The brute force for what? Pulling me and my my fiance and I out of the car like that. after traffic stopping and I request the documents that I did and they refused to follow instructions that people go to jail for that in the state of Florida. You can have a seat right there.
