A tinted license plate cover turned into a much bigger problem than expected. A Sumter County, Florida deputy stopped a black Kia Optima after spotting an illegal cover over the plate. Then came the admission: the driver said her license was suspended after her insurance lapsed. She was placed... under arrest, and during the vehicle search, deputies reported finding $39 in cash, suspected marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The driver acknowledged the marijuana and said her medical marijuana card was no longer active. What started as a traffic stop ended with a trip to the Sumter County Jail and charges including driving with a suspended license, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.show more

Perfect example of a good hard-working citizen getting screwed by the government because of bullshit laws the people would vote down if given the chance. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

So basically for being poor this woman lost her car and went to jail

lol tires screeching down the road at 3:24, who cares, let’s worry about the middle age woman with $39 cash a bit of pot and no insurance on her way to work before 8am. This is what you call a crime of poverty. It’s a joke. No humanity in this interaction at all.

What is this Barney Fife shit. $40 and a bag of weed, and some paperwork? That’s what these guys are ruining peoples lives over?

What a dick. I feel so much safer now.

On her way to work, barely finically surviving, & this yet somehow illegals come to this country, given everything & this lady gets arrested. I’m starting to hate this country

It's sad that lack of money results in a person going into a cage. It's just doesn't sit right with me.

He could have cited her and towed the car. She was honest about everything. She complied. Was respectful. She had a job but not enough money. Her life just got worse for a minor set of infractions that could have been handled differently without him having to bend rules.

The only real crime in this pointless sloppy waste of taxpayer money was her driving without a license.

Again police policing, law enforcement for a fake system punishing the poor and innocent laws created to steel from us and keep as many of us down meanwhile the real pdfs, thieves n criminals run this whole system walk freely...

I actually feel badly for her. She’s trying to go to work. She obviously is broke. Sad.

What an asshole. She seemed like such a sweet lady. Shit like this really makes you hate police

Can’t stand cops like this.

Notice how she comllied and didn’t lie. No violent throw down creating a dangerous situation.

Let that lady go on her way. Stupid pig 🐽 thinks he’s got Pablo Escobar.

Agree. She can’t afford her insurance and yet. Illegals are given thousands of dollars housing etc. this is not fair This woman needs help not arrest Very unfair. ??

She was so sweet, he should be ashamed!

23 yr old faggot “I appreciate your honesty” now I’m going to use it against you to advance my rank.

It’s infuriating to see this petty heavy handed bull 💩while seeing firsthand people destroying and looting our big cities with nothing being done about that.

I'm not for doing this to people down on their luck. He could have escorted her home and tried to direct her to services she needs. She will probably end up homeless now. Protecting the public is more complicated than throwing the book at everyone.

Really saved the day there officer. I feel so much safer.

Violent black criminals run rampant. This poor white woman goes to jail? Ridiculous

I feel really sad for her, she seems like a sweetheart. 🥺

Leave the poor lady alone. She can’t afford to live. What a waste of our tax money

People on the bottom barley surviving and this is how we treat them. She will probably sit in jail for 2 or 3 weeks unable to afford bail. Lose her job and her car. The government should help those American citizens that can’t afford insurance as long as they hold a full time job. We can’t treat people this way.

@ken_kmak8542 The cop is a jerk he should have let call her work. She fully cooperated and he shows no empathy at all to her. Hope he never falls down on his luck.

She can afford pot and not insurance. Got it. Poor people always have just enough money for drugs and alcohol.

This woman is clearly struggling. Beater car. Shit job. No insurance. License suspended, likely cannot afford to get it reinstated. How else can she get to work? Needs to drive to work to make money to resolve her issues. But needs money first to get to work. 🔁

Land of the free my ass.. If there's no victim there should be no crime. You shouldn't need stickers and permission slips and everything else to drive in YOUR property down the road

An already broke person getting raped(financially) by the government. No surprises here 🙄

When do we hang these shit police who violate our sovereignty and only work as revenue collection for a corrupt corporate ruling elite who create laws none of us would agree to if we could have a real voice. This man is a criminal

Weird how in tons of states they give out needles for heroin and all kinds of paraphernalia and in others, a one hitter pot pipe gets you arrested. Suspended license, yep, arrested, car towed and not released til road legal, but the rest is BS

totally sympathize with not being able to afford the ins, mine 2x, no tix/claims Uses pot for medicinal purposes Govt totally out of control in the quest to take all of your $$, I pray she has a understanding employer Is America still the land of the Free? Def home of the broke

This woman is going to fucking work you can tell she’s not lying she can’t afford insurance is the reason she lost her license and this fucking cop is going to throw the book at at her when you got piece of shit people that’s not even trying to work fuck you cops

Driving without insurance and a license I get but the other shit..cmon. And she didn’t resist.
