Deputy Stefan Ortiz with the Volusia County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office stopped an older man for an alleged faulty tag light. Within minutes he literally drug the man out of his car and arrested him, telling another officer that the man was attempting to play a “constitutional rights game” with him. This video raises common issues that occur across the country, where police officers disregard basic constitutional rights, and the entire criminal justice system seems to allow it….

All that investigation and not once was it documented whether or not the tag light was functional.
They 10000% know the tag! Thats an easy ask! That cop hates hes not being allowed to use information, hat has zero to do with this stop!
He forgot to cut open the tires and check each of them
Arrogance and Stupidity by police are just costing American towns and counties and state millions. Peace desolation Training police is prevention of abuse. Instead, only violent escalation training and bro copping is ruining our country.
The tag light garbage needs to end. Been pulled over for tag light crap several times and harassed when the lights were working. It gets old and is not helping their cause. No wonder we need roadside lawyers.
Wouldn't need to know the law if cops wasn't so dirty
What a ðŸÂ·!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
12:30 – “because I saw them come out of the bar over thereâ€Â
So the stop wasn’t about a tag light. Lying scum piece of trash cop. Wonder if this guy like small fish or trophy fish. Clearly an angler.
America has a severe cop problem. They are a gang of tyrants.
Just a few bad apples…. this won't stop until qualified immunity is ended.
So many elderly have medical conditions and these young cops are just mean. They don't even ask about medical conditions
this cop is a liar, and told the driver his lights were out. now its resitance.. really the work with stinking cop.
If every person's is a road side lawyer. every cop is a roadside pirate. And a road side tyrant.
Doesn't look much different than how the Nazi's were treating the Jews in Germany in 1939 does it?
Insecure people with anger issues are PERFECT for law enforcement. Without qualified immunity, people can get in big trouble for acting like that.
Opening the hood is a search. Not an inventory.
The irony for me is if they just want the money would be better to just give ticket. Expensive to pursue criminal charges in time and money.
It is what it is!!!! Wow
This is simply hard to watch. The cop is nothing but a cowardly little punk with a low IQ and a badge that isn't something that is hard to even get if you wanted to do that job.
COPS ARE NOT HEROS!!!!!
Seems like the cop was playing a game by waiting for people to leave a bar. Ridiculous.
I sent a link to the American Legion post 255 of this video and as a veterans of our armed forces, these are the very rights we fought for, and some of us payed the ultimate sacrifice for
It's ignorant cop's like that that gives other cop's a bad name and/or reputation.
the disdain from the cops about someone knowing their rights is fucking absurd!! "Dude knows his rights…beat his ass and lock him up"….
People are tired of these Blue Line gang terrorists
Well at least he kept his bodycam on….
When the people KNOW more about the laws than the police do ,YES we are roadside lawyers and cops are criminals!
And it is what it is…and your career is over. Plus lying, knowing you’re on camera.
Go thru that cops bag in the cop car trunk and see what’s in there. Evidence or cold piece to plant or use.
