#airport #bodycam #legalanalysis On February 13, 2021, at Gate 125 of Orlando International Airport, a Southwest passenger refused to comply with the mask rule on board and then refused to leave the jetway after the captain identified her and crew directed her out. What began as a simple warning escalated into handcuffs, claims of a broken hand and a cracked tablet, and a custodial arrest. By the end, she faced two charges, simple trespassing and resisting an officer without violence, with bond set at five hundred dollars. Did officers have probable cause to make a custodial arrest over a low-level offense? At what point did remaining at the gate become criminal trespass after warning under Florida law? Was this a civil dispute with an airline, or a genuine crime the moment she refused to leave? This breakdown examines the statutes, the airline's authority to refuse transport, and the use-of-force standard applied to the arrest.
