THREATENING A COP WILL NEVER GO WELL It started as a simple traffic stop…and ended in flashing lights, raised voices, and handcuffs. On a humid Florida afternoon, a female driver was pulled over for a routine traffic violation. What should have taken five minutes quickly stretched into something much... bigger. Bodycam footage shows the officer calmly explaining the reason for the stop. But instead of complying, the driver immediately pushes back. She demands explanations, interrupts instructions, and challenges every command. When asked for license and registration, she continues debating. When told to step out of the vehicle, she refuses…questioning authority instead of following direction. The tension builds. What began as a minor citation turns into a standoff on the side of the road. More officers arrive. Voices get louder. The window for calm resolution closes. Eventually, the situation escalates…citations are issued, and the encounter moves toward arrest. In the end, the original traffic violation becomes secondary. The real issue becomes refusal to comply and obstruction. A five-minute stop turned into a legal nightmare…not because of the ticket, but because of the reaction. WHEN YOU GET PULLED OVER, IS ARGUING YOUR RIGHTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WORTH TURNING A MINOR STOP INTO A MAJOR PROBLEM?show more

JUSTIFIED FORCE OR EXCESSIVE? “LET ME SEE THE VIDEO.” That’s how it started. A routine traffic stop. A stop sign. A flashing set of red and blue lights in the rearview mirror. The officer approaches calmly and explains the violation. She immediately demands proof. “Let me see me running the stop sign.” She believes the officer is required to show her video evidence right there on the roadside. He isn’t. Discovery happens in court…not on asphalt. The officer then gives a lawful command: step out of the vehicle. Under Pennsylvania v. Mimms, officers have the authority to order a driver out during a lawful stop for safety. It’s not optional. It’s not negotiable. She refuses. The tone shifts. “Do it,” she says, daring them to remove her. What could have remained a citation now turns into something else. Backup arrives. The air tightens. The officer reaches in. She tenses up. Words turn into resistance. Resistance turns into force. In seconds, a simple traffic ticket becomes a chaotic extraction on the side of the road. All because of one decision: to challenge instead of comply. A verbal dispute turned physical. A warning could have been a citation. A citation could have been a court date. Instead, it became cuffs. Was proving a point in that moment worth escalating a minor stop into an arrest?

Should officers give someone extra patience in a situation like this… or immediately take control once the driver becomes confrontational? The ending of video is the best… A SIMPLE TRAFFIC TICKET… OR A SITUATION ABOUT TO EXPLODE? What should have been a routine traffic stop suddenly turned into a tense roadside confrontation. Officers pulled a woman over for a violation and issued her a citation. Normally, the process is simple…explain the ticket, have the driver sign it, and everyone moves on. But that’s not what happened. The woman suddenly insisted she had no idea her license was suspended. Her frustration quickly turned into anger. Voices rose. She refused to accept what officers were telling her and the stop began spiraling out of control. Now the officers faced a dilemma. Do they keep trying to calmly explain the situation and risk the scene escalating even more? Or do they move quickly to detain her for driving on a suspended license before the roadside argument turns into something dangerous? Every second the tension grew. A stop that should have taken two minutes had now turned into a confrontation on the side of the road… with passing traffic, emotions running high, and officers forced to make a decision in real time. One small ticket. One angry driver. And suddenly… a routine stop becomes a situation where every move matters. If you truly didn’t know your license was suspended, would you still be responsible once you’re behind the wheel? At what point does arguing during a traffic stop turn from frustration into interfering with law enforcement?

TRAFFIC STOP TURNS INTO A LAWSUIT BATTLE If a driver becomes argumentative during a traffic stop, does the officer have the right to take stronger control of the situation? Is this a case of someone standing up for their rights… or someone hoping a lawsuit will erase a mistake behind the wheel? A traffic stop in Hurst, Texas will turn to the courtroom to decide who was actually in the wrong. What is your opinion??? Newly released dashcam footage shows a woman pulled over for speeding while traveling with her 15-year-old son. According to the driver, she had just come from a doctor’s appointment and a hair appointment when the officer initiated the stop. At first, the interaction appears fairly typical. The officer runs her information and returns to the vehicle with a citation. That’s when things start to change. The conversation becomes tense. Voices rise. What should have been a simple ticket suddenly turns into a confrontation caught on camera. Now the driver, Taneisha Thompson, says the officer crossed the line…and she’s filed a civil lawsuit against the police department. She believes the stop escalated unnecessarily and that the officer’s actions violated her rights. Supporters of the officer say something different. They argue that traffic stops can turn dangerous quickly and officers must maintain control of the situation. From their perspective, issuing a citation and managing the stop is simply part of the job. Now the question isn’t just about a speeding ticket anymore. It’s about accountability… authority… and whether a routine stop became something it shouldn’t have. A court may eventually decide who is right. It’s currently pending… Should a heated interaction during a routine ticket ever justify a lawsuit against a police department?

A Buc-ee’s shortcut turned into handcuffs because the violation was real — but the escalation was too. A Texas City officer said the driver cut through the parking lot, bypassed traffic control, and nearly caused a crash near the pumps. Legally, the driver appears to have been in the wrong. Cutting through business property to avoid a traffic control device can be a citable offense, especially in a parking lot open to the public. But this is where the stop became more than just a ticket. The driver got defensive, argued the point, and fueled the fire instead of calmly taking the citation and fighting it later. At the same time, the officer’s handling of the verbal argument turned a minor parking lot violation into a full roadside detention. He ultimately released the driver from handcuffs and issued a citation instead of taking him to jail. That is the lesson. Bad driving can start the problem. Attitude can make it worse. And poor de-escalation can turn a simple ticket into a scene nobody needed.

ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP TURNED INTO A SELF-INFLICTED DISASTER. THIS PERSON SAYS THEY ARE A SURGEON NEEDING TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL TO SAVE A PATIENT…do you believe them??? A routine stop quickly shifted the moment officers discovered multiple IDs and a suspended license. Instead of taking accountability, the driver immediately questioned the legitimacy of the stop. Voices got louder. Attitudes hardened. What could have been handled calmly spiraled fast…and the roadside debate turned into criminal charges. One decision after another. Pride over patience. Argument over compliance. WHEN YOU’RE CAUGHT DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE WITH MULTIPLE IDS, DO YOU THINK ARGUING IS GOING TO SAVE YOU…OR JUST DIG THE HOLE DEEPER?

This woman was driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic when police asked her to turn around. Instead of complying, she stayed put and kept arguing. It caused a major traffic backup. What could have been a minor traffic citation turned into a multiple-felony arrest. What makes people fight back so hard? It didn’t have to end this way for her.

ONE TRAFFIC STOP… AND SUDDENLY IT’S A FULL-BLOWN STREET TAKEOVER. OFFICERS GET SURROUNDED BY THEM. WHY DO PEOPLE THINK YELLING AND SWARMING POLICE MAKES THE SITUATION BETTER? What should’ve been a routine pull over turned into chaos when tensions exploded and multiple family members rushed the scene. Voices got louder. Emotions boiled over. Officers tried to regain control while the situation spiraled in real time…all captured on dashcam and bodycam. Instead of cooperation, it became confrontation. Instead of calm, it became chaos. And when crowds form and tempers flare, one bad decision can change everything in seconds. WHEN DID A SIMPLE TRAFFIC STOP TURN INTO A GROUP SHOWDOWN?

$"I can sign the ticket from inside my car." A routine stop for a phone and a coffee cup turned into a full-blown police standoff when an Orlando driver refused to get out of her SUV. She thought she knew her rights—but the law said otherwise. Why a basic traffic ticket turned into a night in jail: The officer pulled over a red Dodge SUV after observing the driver run a stop sign at the intersection of Livingston Street and Broadway Avenue. The officer noted that the driver had both hands occupied—a cell phone in her right hand and a coffee tumbler in her left—leaving her unable to properly manage the steering wheel. Upon running her information, the officer discovered that the driver’s license had two active suspensions and that there was a "seize tag" order in place for her license plate. Because driving on a suspended license is an arrestable offense in Florida, the officer called for backup. When additional officers arrived, they requested that she exit the vehicle to sign citations and be placed under arrest. The driver repeatedly refused to step out of the SUV, arguing that she could sign the paperwork from inside her car and questioning the necessity of getting out. Officers warned her multiple times that if she did not comply, they would be forced to break her window and physically remove her. After an extended standoff, the driver eventually opened her door but continued to physically resist being handcuffed. She was ultimately secured and placed in the back of a patrol car. The legality of this interaction rests heavily on established U.S. Supreme Court precedent and specific Florida State Statutes (F.S.S.). 1. Ordering the Driver Out of the Vehicle The driver repeatedly argued that she did not legally have to step out of her car to sign a ticket. Legally, she was incorrect. Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977): The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that an officer can order a driver out of a vehicle during a lawful traffic stop as a matter of course for officer safety. The officer does not need separate suspicion or justification to make this demand. Failing to comply turns a traffic infraction into a criminal obstruction issue. 2. Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) Statute: F.S.S. 322.34 While some traffic violations only warrant a civil citation (a ticket), driving with a known suspended license can be treated as a criminal offense (misdemeanor or felony depending on prior convictions). Because her license had multiple active suspensions, the officer had full legal authority to change the traffic stop into a custodial arrest. 3. Resisting an Officer Without Violence Statute: F.S.S. 843.02 This charge applies when an individual intentionally resists, obstructs, or opposes an officer who is engaged in the lawful execution of their legal duties. By refusing lawful commands to exit the vehicle during an arrest, the driver obstructed the officer's duty, resulting in this criminal charge. 4. Hands-Free / Distracted Driving Laws Statute: F.S.S. 316.305 (Wireless Communications Using a Mobile Distracted Device) In Florida, texting or holding a phone while actively driving is a primary offense, meaning an officer can pull you over solely for that action. While holding a coffee cup isn't inherently illegal, using both hands for non-driving objects can be cited under broader careless driving statutes (F.S.S. 316.1925), which require drivers to operate vehicles in a safe, attentive manner. Final Charges & Citations Following the encounter, the driver was formally processed under the following terms: Criminal Charge: Resisting an officer without violence. Criminal Charge: Driving while license suspended (DWLS). Civil Infraction: A $164 traffic ticket for failing to stop at the stop sign.$

Joe Biden can’t help this guy… Foreigner wants to FAFO…and he does.. If a driver tells officers they have a gun and then reaches for it, do police have any other option besides using force? What started as a routine traffic stop suddenly turned into a life or death situation in seconds. Bodycam footage shows officers pulling over a driver after noticing something wasn’t right. At first, it looked like a normal stop. But the driver quickly became extremely aggressive. According to the footage, the man began shouting at officers, telling them to “go back to your car, sit there, and leave.” Instead of calming down, the situation escalated. The driver reportedly told officers he had a gun and continued refusing commands. At one point, he even insisted he would call President Joe Biden to excuse the situation, while continuing to argue and ignore the officers. Moments later, the situation reached a critical point. Officers say the man reached toward his firearm, forcing them to make a split-second decision to protect themselves and everyone around them. Within seconds, the confrontation was over. What began as a simple traffic stop quickly turned into a dangerous encounter where officers had to react immediately once a weapon entered the situation. Do incidents like this show how quickly a few bad decisions can escalate a routine stop into tragedy?

$This driver turned a simple paperwork mistake into a mandatory felony arrest in under five minutes. Once the deputy confirmed that Rebecca’s license was permanently revoked, the nature of the interaction immediately shifted from a routine traffic infraction to a criminal investigation. Under Florida law, driving with a permanently revoked or suspended license is a criminal offense, meaning the deputy no longer had the discretion to simply issue a warning for the obscured plate and let her go. The confrontation usually escalates due to a combination of denial and legal misconceptions: The driver repeatedly denies the suspension, likely expecting the officer to take her word over the official database dispatch system. Presenting expired or irrelevant paperwork is a common stall tactic, but it does nothing to override the real-time computerized records the officer is viewing on their MDT (Mobile Data Terminal). Shouting into a cell phone that she is "about to be arrested" serves as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of de-escalating, it heightens tension and signals to the officer that the driver is mentally preparing to resist. When the deputy ordered her out of the vehicle, Rebecca crossed a legal point of no return by refusing. Per the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977), a police officer has the absolute authority to order a driver out of a vehicle during a lawful traffic stop for officer safety. Refusing to comply with this lawful order is inherently a crime (Resisting an Officer Without Violence). By physically resisting the extraction and threatening violence ("threatening to punch the officer"), the driver legally compounded her issues. What would have likely been a misdemeanor charge for driving on a suspended license and non-violent resisting quickly escalated into felony territory due to the explicit threats against law enforcement. Ultimately, the passenger's subsequent conversation with the deputy highlights the tragic irony of the situation. The root cause—a failure to complete a mandatory Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) class—was an administrative issue that could have been sorted out through the court and the DMV. By choosing physical and verbal resistance over compliance, the driver transformed a fixable paperwork problem into a severe criminal arrest.$

Watch the exact moment a traffic stop went from a citation to an arrest over a single piece of plastic. An officer pulls the driver over, stating she failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. The driver refuses to physically hand over her driver's license to the officer. Instead, she holds it up so the officer can see the information but refuses to surrender physical possession of the license. She cites a belief that she is not legally required to "hand" the officer her license. The officer repeatedly explains that he needs to hold it to verify it as part of the traffic stop. The driver continues to refuse, and the officer orders her to step out of the vehicle. The driver eventually steps out of the vehicle after a lengthy debate about the law and her rights. The video concludes with the driver outside her vehicle, continuing to argue her legal stance with the officers and getting arrested for resisting and obstructing law enforcement. The Conflict Over "Presenting" a License In Florida, as in many states, the requirement to "present" or "submit" a driver's license is not interpreted as merely showing it from a distance. Law enforcement requires physical possession of the document for several operational reasons: Authentication: Officers must verify the security features of the card (holograms, tactile elements, etc.) to ensure it is not a counterfeit or an altered document. Database Verification: To complete a traffic stop investigation, the officer must run the license through the FCIC/NCIC (Florida Crime Information Center / National Crime Information Center) databases. This check verifies the status of the license (valid, suspended, revoked) and checks for outstanding warrants or other issues. An officer cannot perform this background check without the license number and/or the ability to scan the card. The Charge of "Resisting Without Violence" While the driver may have provided other documentation, the refusal to surrender the driver's license for verification is viewed by law enforcement as a failure to comply with a lawful order during a traffic stop. The Legal Trigger: Under Florida Statute § 843.02, an officer can charge a person with "resisting an officer without violence" if they believe the individual is obstructing them in the "lawful execution of any legal duty." The Interpretation of Obstruction: If an officer determines that the driver's refusal to hand over the license prevents them from completing the mandatory identification and background check, they may consider the driver to be intentionally obstructing their investigation. The Escalation: Even if the driver was cooperative in other aspects, the persistent refusal to comply with the officer’s instruction to hand over the license can lead to a formal detention and, ultimately, an arrest. The arrest is typically made because the officer determines that the driver is willfully impeding their ability to perform their official duties. In court, defense attorneys often argue whether a driver's actions constituted "obstruction" or merely a misunderstanding, but the outcome is highly dependent on the judge's interpretation of whether the driver’s refusal effectively stopped the officer from performing their duties.

The Interpretation of Obstruction: If an officer determines that the driver's refusal to hand over the license prevents them from completing the mandatory identification and background check, they may consider the driver to be intentionally obstructing their investigation. The Escalation: Even if the driver was cooperative in other aspects, the persistent refusal to comply with the officer’s instruction to hand over the license can lead to a formal detention and, ultimately, an arrest. The arrest is typically made because the officer determines that the driver is willfully impeding their ability to perform their official duties. In court, defense attorneys often argue whether a driver's actions constituted "obstruction" or merely a misunderstanding, but the outcome is highly dependent on the judge's interpretation of whether the driver’s refusal effectively stopped the officer from performing their duties.

You can't reject peace, choose hostility, and still expect the world to see you as the victim. The incident began when an officer pulls 22 year old India Mixon over after running her license plate and finding that her registration/license is suspended. When the officer approaches her vehicle, Mixon immediately becomes defensive, arguing that she just sent out a check to resolve the issue. The officer repeatedly asks to see her driver's license and proof of insurance, explaining that he is conducting a traffic stop and needs to identify her. Mixon refuses to cooperate or hand over her ID, claiming she does not have to produce it, and instead focuses on calling her case manager on her phone. As Mixon continues to refuse to identify herself, the officer warns her that she will be arrested if she does not cooperate. She is seen repeatedly reaching around the interior of her car, despite multiple commands from the officer to stop. After several minutes of non-compliance, the officer orders her out of the vehicle. When she refuses to step out, the officer opens the car door and physically removes her to place her in handcuffs. Mixon resists and accuses the officers of targeting her because of her race. Additional officers arrive on the scene to assist. Mixon becomes increasingly hysterical, claims that she is homeless and that all of her belongings are inside the vehicle, which is being prepared for towing due to the suspended registration. Mixon as$aults one of the officers and winds up having a "spit hood" secured over her head. In the end, she is charged with driving under suspension, simple assault, and as$ault on a police officer and her car was towed.

EVIDENCE IN PLAIN SIGHT BUT STILL DENYING…IF YOU BOLDLY LIE STRAIGHT TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SHOULD THEY PENALTY BE WORSE?? Should drivers face harsher penalties when they lie directly to officers during a traffic stop? She swore she hadn’t touched a drop… but the cup holder had a very different story to tell. The driver said she was just in a hurry trying to get back from her break. She works in vacation sales and claimed she didn’t have time to waste. But that rush came to an abrupt stop when officers pulled her over after she allegedly ran a red light. What started as a routine traffic stop quickly turned suspicious. As officers approached the vehicle, they noticed the driver moving things around inside the car…specifically trying to conceal something near the beverage holder. When questioned, she confidently told officers she had zero alcohol. Not a sip. Not a drop. But the evidence sitting in plain sight told a different story. Inside the cup holder was alcohol she had clearly tried to hide moments earlier. Despite the obvious contradiction, she continued insisting she had done nothing wrong. What began as a simple red-light violation suddenly turned into a much bigger problem.

Brooklyn: West 20th Street & Surf Avenue, a man coming out of the Stillwell Avenue train station unknowingly stepped into an illegal cab that was already being watched by TLC enforcement. Officers moved in to initiate a stop, and the vehicle finally pulled over on West 20th Street between Surf Avenue and Mermaid Avenue. The traffic stop escalated immediately. The driver refused to hand over his documents and began arguing with the officer at the window. Inside the car, the passenger quickly realized he had walked into the wrong situation, he had an out-of-state bench warrant and wanted no part of a confrontation with police. As soon as the vehicle came to a full stop, he got out and distanced himself from the scene. With the passenger gone, the driver hit the gas, fleeing from the traffic stop and leaving TLC enforcement behind as he sped off.

Tyrant cop arrests driver and his wife because the driver asked why he was being pulled over. This incident took place in Taylor, Michigan (a suburb. in the Downriver area of Metro Detroit). Taylor Police officers pulled over a vehicle driven by a man named Calvin Jones. Inside the car with him were his wife, Keithia Jones, and their young son. The officer pulled over Calvin and immediately demanded his ID as well as other paperwork needed for the stop. Calvin inquired as to why he was being pulled over to which the officer doubled down on demanding ID before telling him why he was pulled over. What began as a routine traffic stop instantly turned into a high-stakes standoff due to a fundamental disagreement over roadside procedures: The Driver’s Stance: Calvin Jones wanted to know the exact reason he was being pulled over before handed his identification over to the officers, asking, “You gotta let me know what’s going on, man.” The Officers' Stance: The officers demanded compliance first and answers second. Instead of de-escalating, the officer barked back, “You’re going to jail is what’s going on.” As other officers arrived the officer that conducted the stop began putting on tactical gloves. This is where things go off the rails as the officer completely shattered the driver-side window, forcefully dragged Calvin Jones out of the vehicle, and took him to the ground to execute an arrest. Meanwhile, inside the vehicle, his wife Keithia began recording the unfolding chaos on her cell phone. Because she was filming the interaction, she was also forcefully arrested by responding officers as well. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan stepped in to legally back the family, obtained the raw dashcam footage, and publicly exposed the department's aggressive tactics. The criminal charges against Calvin and Keithia Jones for resisting and obstructing were ultimately dismissed. The ACLU sent a formal complaint to then-Taylor Police Chief Mary Sclabassi, triggering a massive internal affairs investigation. Despite the immense public backlash and the clear visual escalation captured on camera, the Taylor Police Department's internal affairs unit officially cleared the officers of any wrongdoing in August 2017, finding no basis for internal disciplinary action or termination. However, the case forced permanent operational changes within the city: The "Reason for Stop" Policy: Taylor Police instituted a mandatory rule requiring all officers to explicitly state the basis of a traffic stop to a driver during an interaction. De-escalation Training: The department rolled out mandatory retraining focused on officer demeanor and conflict avoidance. Federal Scrutiny: Because the local department cleared the officers, the ACLU anchored this case into a massive petition to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), citing it alongside nearly 20 other incidents to push for a federal investigation into systemic excessive force within the department. In my opinion, the request to ask what you were stopped for is reasonable. The response from the officers is aggressive and it is departments like this one that give police a bad name as you have video evidence like this but instead circle the wagons to protect the bull cop Would love to see your thoughts below.

Being offended doesn't put anyone above the law. Here's what happened in this road rage incident. A traffic dispute turned into a major legal situation leading to the arrest of Reem M. Al Dhahiry. Al Dhahiry claimed she was targeted in an Islamophobic road rage incident by another driver. She loudly explains her side of the story to a police officer, claiming that a "white guy" tried to a$sault her on the road by repeatedly tailgating and brake-checking her because she is Muslim. The officer attempts to de-escalate the situation and gather details. He asks her where the incident started, how she maneuvered away, and if she followed the man onto any property. Al Dhahiry insisted that she was the victim and continued to demand for a police report and for the other party to be arrested without giving more details or her ID. After consulting with other officers who were speaking to the driver of the blue Prius, the officer informs the woman that she is being placed under arrest for assault, as the other driver wishes to press charges. The woman denied that she a$saulted anyone and accused the police officers of protecting the other driver because he is white. She requests a female officer, citing her religious beliefs, and a female deputy eventually takes over the search before she is placed into the patrol car. The victim chose to press charges. Al Dhahiry was arrested for Aggravated Assault in a Public Place, her car was towed, and she was booked into jail.

Cop digs for a way to give a ticket to justify pulling a man over. To cover his corruption it's wild what he gave a citation for. We are in Wall Township, New Jersey, where a driver Alex Harbour is pulled over by a Wall Township police officer. The reason? The officer claims Harbour failed to use his turn signal when making a turn. But things quickly escalate when the officer tacks on a second violation: New Jersey Title 39:3-74, a statute regarding windshield obstructions—all because of a standard little tree-shaped air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. Harbour immediately disputes the claim, stating he knew the officer was following him after making a U-turn near a grocery store, and purposely used his blinker because of it. Believing the stop is an unlawful, racially motivated pretextual stop, Harbour repeatedly asks for a supervisor to come to the scene. When the supervising sergeant arrives, he attempts to smooth things over, claiming officers were simply routing through the neighborhood to get to local schools for traffic monitoring. Harbour asks the supervisor to pull the officer’s dashcam footage right there to prove his turn signal was active. While the supervisor explains they can’t review the footage on the side of the road, he notes it will be preserved in the system. Since the officers knew their backs were against the wall as the narrative fell apart for the original reason for the stop, the officers decide not to write a ticket for the moving violation (the turn signal). Instead unbelievably, they hand him a non-moving citation strictly for the windshield obstruction caused by the air freshener and let him go. While in my opinion this is beyond pretty and an absolute reach to justify the stop. What many drivers don’t realize is that hanging anything from your rearview mirror—whether it’s a graduation tassel, a parking pass, or a Little Tree air freshener—is technically illegal in more than half of U.S. states under "obstruction of view" laws. Civil rights groups and legal experts frequently point out these highly specific, minor statutes because they give law enforcement broad legal authority to initiate a traffic stop on almost any vehicle, at any time, to investigate further. Knowing this info now, I will never hang anything from my mirror again. To think of how readily available these are in stores. They seem so harmless, but we are literally giving officers that want to push, a way to stop you in your tracks.

What should have been a simple traffic stop turns into a disaster. This woman is driving her son because he hasn’t “slept in 24 hours.” The son starts causing problems for the officers. When they ask the mother to step out of the vehicle to make sure she’s okay, he jumps into the driver’s seat and it escalates. She claims he’s having a manic episode. Could it be mental health or drugs, and should someone like him be allowed to have a license? Scary stuff!
