This Police Ride-Along video highlights how a misunderstanding over this concept turns a simple reckless driving ticket into an arrest.

The officer made a U-turn, clocked the SUV going 72MPH in a 50MPH zone, and pulled the driver over.

He immediately turned around and began to follow the motorcycle in order to initiate a traffic stop for the violation. As he caught up to the motorcycle, he observed it aggressively changing lanes without signaling and almost making contact with other vehicles. The woman would later say she was taking videos.

When the officer located the bank manager (who was on the phone calling 911), the manager pointed to a woman (Brandy) getting into a vehicle outside the bank. The manager said the woman had quickly left (even forgetting her ID) when the $700 check she had tried to cash for cleaning/maid service was rejected due to the account being closed a day earlier after a different woman (Chastity) had cashed a check from the same account. The manager had spoken to the account owner who said no one should be withdrawing funds. As the officer continued to speak with the bank manager, nearby officers were able to conduct an investigative stop on the vehicle that had just left. The suspect was located in the back seat alongside a small child. An adult male (Stephen) and female were in the front.
The bank manager advised that Chastity had stopped the day before and succesfully cashed a $800 check for tree work before the account was closed. After the officer had obtained the manager's full report, she left to go to the investigative stop. While on her way there, the manager contacted her and said another person (Isaac) was currently in the drive-through trying to cash a $750 check from the same closed account. The manager asked the man to come into the bank for identification purposes, and the officer turned around. She stopped the vehicle in the parking lot. Isaac was driving, and the same female from the day before was in the back (Chastity).
After investigating further, officers arrested Isaac, Chastity, Brandy, and Stephen.
Isaac was charged with Possession of a Counterfeit Payment Instrument, Defrauding a Financial Institution, Uttering a Forged Check, Grand Theft, and Fraudulent Use of a Personal ID. He pled guilty to Grand Theft, Possession of a Counterfeit Payment Instrument, and Uttering a Forged Check. The other two charges were dropped. He served 2 days in jail and was ordered to pay $908.87 in court costs and fees.
Stephen was charged with Grand Theft, Criminal Conspiracy, Unlawful Possession of a Stolen Credit/Debit Card, and Possession of a Counterfeit Payment Instrument. He pled guilty to Grand Theft and Possession of a Counterfeit Payment Instrument. The other charges were dropped. He served 106 days in jail and was required to pay $1,131.39 in court costs and fees. He was also ordered to pay resititution of $364.39 to Home Depot (jointly with co-defendant Chastity) for unlawful use of a stolen HD credit card that was found by officers. Later that year, Stephen was arrested on identity theft charges after he was accused of using another's personal identification information in an attempt to obtain a $6,000 loan.
Chastity was charged with Possession of a Counterfeit Payment Instrument, Defrauding a Financial Institution, Uttering a Forged Check, Grand Theft, and Fraudulent Use of a Personal ID. After initially pleading not guilty, she would enter a plea of guilty on all the charges. She was sentenced to 14.1 months in the custody of Florida's Department of Corrections. She was also required to pay $1,318.00 in court costs and fees as well as $364.39 in restitution to Home Depot (jointly with co-defendant Stephen).
Brandy was charged with Petit Theft, Uttering a Forged Check, Defrauding a Financial Institution, Possession of a Counterfeit Payment Instrument, and Fradulent Use of a Personal ID. The case was consolidated and no record is identifiable as to the court's final decision.

The officer activated her lights and siren and initiated a traffic stop. The Cadillac pulled into a nearby Publix parking lot. When the driver was asked about her missing tag, she said she didn't need to have one since she was traveling, not operating in commerce. The officer requested her driver's license, but the woman handed her a picture card that had her name and date of birth along with the title "American State Citizen The United States of America Unincorporated." The officer then waited for additional units to arrive on scene. Upon their arrival, the officers asked the woman to exit her vehicle, but she refused, so they used a handheld tool with a tungsten carbide tip to break the driver's side window. The woman was removed from her vehicle with physical force only and arrested.
She was charged with Resisting without Violence (Florida Statute § 843.02). She also received a citation for no motor vehicle registration. The next week, she'd get arrested for driving without a tag once again. After pleading nolo contendere to that charge and being ordered to serve 7 days in jail, the Assistant State Attorney determined that the charge for Resisting without Violence during her first arrest was not suitable for prosecution. Two months later, her vehicle was captured on traffic cameras with a Florida license plate, but the registration was still expired.

He clocked a Kia going 45MPH in a 30MPH zone. After catching up with the vehicle down the road, he conducted a traffic stop. The vehicle had stopped in a parking lot, and the front passenger exited the vehicle. The officer told him to remain in the car, but the man soon fled the scene. The officer was unable to catch the man. Upon returning to the scene, he asked the driver for her identification, and she failed to comply, disputing the legitimacy of the stop. The officer then placed her under arrest.
She was charged with Resisting without Violence. She pled guilty to the charge a few months later and was ordered to pay court costs and fees totaling $373.

Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer asked the driver to roll down the rear window due to the windows being dark. The driver questioned why that was necessary, to which the officer advised the tint was too dark, and she couldn't see inside for her safety. The driver rolled the window down slightly, and the officer could see a woman in the back. The driver asked why she was being stopped, and after being told about the missing license plate, she stated it should be on the back. It wasn't, so the officer requested the driver's identification, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration. The driver refused to provide any documents, claiming that she wasn't contracted with law enforcement. The driver further stated she was not driving, she was traveling to take her daughter to school. After some back and forth regarding the legality of the stop and the need for identification documents, the driver was pulled out of the vehicle and arrested.
She was charged with Resisting without Violence (Florida Statute § 843.02). She was also cited for No Tag Being Displayed, Registration Not Carried, License Not Carried, No Proof of Insurance, and Driving While License Suspended without Knowledge. Her license had expired in 2024. A jury found her guilty, but she's appealing the decision.

Management advised that the man had been bothering people and behaving erratically. Upon arrival, officers found the man near the motel lobby in an agitated state. They told him that he was being trespassed from the property and needed to pack his belongings. After some initial resistance, the man allowed the officers to escort him to his room where he continued to complain and make nonsensical comments. During their interactions with the man, the officers learned that the man had no valid driver's license (it had been permanently revoked for nearly 30 years) and there was no license plate on his car. Despite this, the man attempted to leave the motel property in his vehicle. When the officers stopped him, the man began to use sovereign citizen rhetoric to claim he didn't need a license or plate. Eventually, he was arrested after refusing to obey their commands.
He was charged with Resisting without Violence and Driving on a Permanently Revoked License, which is a felony. Several months later, he'd plead no contest to both charges and be sentenced to 60 days in the county jail. He'd receive 60-days credit for time already served, so he would be released that day.
