[00:00:07]>> Just trying to get the situation. I don't want anything to happen, but it's got to stop and she won't stop. Your lip >> is busted.

[00:00:13]>> No, I step right here.

[00:00:14]>> I just want to go. I just don't want >> Well, you can't leave now. So, >> Well, I do. I want to go back home. I don't want to be >> I got you, but you can't leave now. I'm conducting investigation.

[00:00:24]>> I know, but if you leave, you're going to be in a whole lot of more trouble.

[00:00:28]On August 5th, 2024, Monroe County, Florida, officers responded to a confirmed domestic battery call. This footage raises three distinct legal questions. The lawfulness of detention, the arrest trigger point, and the proportionality of force applied. Under Florida Statute 7412901, responding officers are mandated, not discretionarily permitted, to identify the primary aggressor in any domestic violence call. This is a mandatory arrest state. Probable cause of domestic battery. This requires enforcement action regardless of victim cooperation.

[00:01:04]Two independent witnesses corroborated the same account. The subject presented with a visible facial injury. Under Florida statute 74128, a marital relationship qualifies this as domestic violence. Probable cause was established.

[00:01:20]>> Stand up and listen to me. Hands behind your back. Come on.

[00:01:22]>> No. Stop.

[00:01:23]>> Come on.

[00:01:23]>> Stop.

[00:01:24]>> Come on. Stop. Stop.

[00:01:26]>> Take all my cups. Come on. Open it up.

[00:01:31]>> On August 5th, 2024, Monroe County officers responded to a domestic battery call. Upon arrival, police met with the alleged victim who quickly became aggressive.

[00:01:40]>> Somebody hit me.

[00:01:42]>> And I don't need you any medical?

[00:01:44]>> No.

[00:02:37]>> Yeah. Just too much drinking.

[00:02:40]>> Out of control. I mean, she's just hitting on everybody.

[00:02:44]>> Just trying to get the situation. I don't want anything to happen, but it's got to stop. And she won't stop. And now all of a sudden, she's being little. No, I got you. I got you. So, how how did she end up with her mouth lip all?

[00:02:58]>> I don't know. On me.

[00:04:32]>> Busted.

[00:04:33]>> I know, but if you leave, you're going to be in a whole lot of more trouble.

[00:04:35]>> No, I'm not leaving. I'm just saying I don't want to be around him anymore.

[00:05:30]>> Did the baby see all this happen?

[00:05:32]>> Yes.

[00:05:32]>> Yes.

[00:05:33]>> Yeah.

[00:05:33]>> I tried to separate her as best I could.

[00:05:38]>> I got you.

[00:05:38]>> So, she's okay now, though.

[00:06:00]>> So she's she just started problems started just hitting everybody and >> who's in her life. I don't know.

[00:06:06]>> I got you. So she just started hitting everybody. You try to stop and she started hitting you then. Yeah. All right, >> it's okay.

[00:06:16]She doesn't like >> ma'am. Just uh stand back over there for a second.

[00:06:23]>> Take my baby. She's okay. She's okay.

[00:06:26]>> She needs her.

[00:06:27]>> It's all right. Ma'am, go sit back. Go sit back over there.

[00:06:30]>> Ma'am, go stand back over there, please.

[00:06:33]>> We're just talking.

[00:06:34]>> Ma'am, just go stand back over there, please. She's okay.

[00:06:38]>> Ma'am, just go stand back over there, please.

[00:06:46]>> Can we get a good distance away from her?

[00:06:48]>> Yeah, I just got I'm the only one here, so I just got >> No, you're good. You're good.

[00:06:51]>> I got you.

[00:06:52]>> Believe me.

[00:06:53]>> So, what happened?

[00:06:55]>> So, >> if you if you want to wait to talk, so you can come.

[00:06:58]>> No, you're good. So Carla and her husband had been in a fight all night basically and she's been crazy this whole time and I was just sitting out there talking to my mom cuz she's flying down tomorrow. I was letting her know. I was like, "Are you sure you want to come?" You know, just kind of joking with her >> and she walks out of the house, I guess, after they had stopped fighting. And um she comes out and just starts I told her I was like, "You need to get your back inside." It's like >> I got you need to go.

[00:07:30]>> When the subject announced her intention to leave mid investigation, the detention became legally contested.

[00:07:36]Terry versus Ohio decided in 1968 holds that officers conducting a lawful investigative stop may physically prevent a subject from leaving.

[00:07:45]Attempted departure during an active domestic violence investigation is not a right. It is obstruction. The officer's verbal command to remain was a lawful directive. Physical non-compliance at that moment converted the investigative detention into a custodial arrest.

[00:08:01]>> Ma'am, come here.

[00:08:03]>> Come here. You're not leaving.

[00:08:04]>> No. No. I'm >> You're not leaving.

[00:10:18]Please, just come on.

[00:10:20]>> Listen to me. Look at me. Look at me.

[00:10:22]You're going to get sprayed. Okay.

[00:10:24]>> Just stop.

[00:10:26]>> Stop.

[00:10:38]Okay. That's okay.

[00:10:39]>> Once arrest was initiated, the governing standard shifted to Graham versus Connor, decided in 1989. Graham establishes a three-factor objective reasonleness test. First, the severity of the underlying offense. Second, whether the subject posed an immediate threat. Third, whether the subject was actively resisting or attempting to flee. All three factors were present simultaneously. Domestic battery is a qualifying offense. Active grabbing of the officer's handcuffs constitutes an immediate threat. Sustained physical resistance lasting approximately 6 minutes satisfies the third factor without ambiguity. The officer issued explicit pre-force warnings before any escalation pepper spray advisement felony charge warning for kicking the patrol vehicle. This satisfies departmental use of force policy requirements for verbal warning prior to escalated physical intervention.

[00:11:33]Notably, pepper spray was never deployed despite repeated authorization under the circumstances. Force remained at the hard empty-hand control level throughout. Under the use of force continuum, this represents restrained application given the duration and intensity of resistance encountered.

[00:11:49]Florida statute 843.01.

[00:11:52]Resisting officer with violence is a thirdderee felony carrying up to 5 years incarceration. The statute requires two elements. Resistance during lawful execution of a legal duty accompanied by offered or actual violence toward the officer. Both elements are documentable from this footage. The arrest was lawful. The resistance was sustained.

[00:12:13]Grabbing the officer's handcuffs satisfies the violence element under Florida case law interpreting the statute.

[00:12:20]>> Grab the other arm. I'm leaving.

[00:12:22]>> Grab the other arm.

[00:12:23]>> Want to do this. Stop.

[00:12:24]>> Grab the other arm.

[00:12:25]>> Stop. If people want to be cheating, THEN THEY CAN DO THAT ON THEIR OWN TIME.

[00:12:28]GET OFF OF ME.

[00:12:29]>> There you go.

[00:12:31]>> Get off of me. Get off of me. Okay.

[00:12:34]>> Stop. Just hold it right there.

[00:12:38]Stop.

[00:12:40]Stop.

[00:12:42]Stop.

[00:12:43]>> Come on.

[00:12:45]>> Stop it.

[00:12:49]>> Give me your other hand.

[00:12:50]>> Stop.

[00:12:53]Stop right now. Stop. Stop. Stop.

[00:12:57]>> All right. Give me this hand. Give me this hand.

[00:12:59]>> Not my fault. Stop.

[00:13:02]>> Stop.

[00:13:03]Stop.

[00:13:04]>> There go my cuffs. Come on, let go of my cuff.

[00:13:07]>> Then stop. Stop.

[00:13:58]Stop.

[00:14:02]What the walk?

[00:14:10]>> Try.

[00:14:11]>> All right, take your time.

[00:14:16]>> Stop. Stop.

[00:14:19]>> Stop.

[00:14:25]>> All right, we're going to stand you up now.

[00:14:28]>> No, that hurts. Come on.

[00:14:30]>> Get off of me.

[00:14:37]>> Come on. Let's go.

[00:15:33]>> Put your feet in. Put your feet in.

[00:15:41]>> Listen to me. I'm going to open this door. I'm telling you now. If you kick me, I'm going to charge you with a felony. Do you hear me? Do you hear me?

[00:15:52]Hold the flashlight. Let me just grab her legs first. Okay.

[00:15:59]I just want my daughter. Please stop.

[00:16:02]Please stop. Please.

[00:16:03]>> Move your leg.

[00:16:10]>> No. Stop. Stop. Stop.

[00:16:16]>> All right.

[00:16:17]>> I don't want you to get kicked in the face. Okay. It needs to go up.

[00:16:20]>> I just want my daughter.

[00:16:21]>> Okay.

[00:16:22]>> Loosen your legs.

[00:16:23]>> Please stop. Please >> get it up all the way.

[00:16:26]>> Hurry up. Hurry up.

[00:16:26]>> I got it.

[00:16:27]>> Please.

[00:16:29]>> No. She's going to get off. She got to get it up above the knees.

[00:16:35]>> Okay. GOT TO LOOSEN UP.

[00:16:49]>> Okay. Hang on. Hang on.

[00:16:55]Goodbye.

[00:17:05]Set up.

[00:17:08]>> Set it up. Open it up.

[00:17:11]>> Open it up.

[00:17:18]Stop.

[00:17:20]>> Stop fighting.

[00:17:22]JUST STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. JUST STOP. I already have guts on my hand.

[00:17:28]>> Well, that hurt the door.

[00:17:30]>> I don't care. I DON'T WANT to do this anymore. Just stop.

[00:17:34]>> Stop.

[00:17:37]>> Back up.

[00:17:37]>> STOP.

[00:17:38]>> BACK UP.

[00:17:38]>> STOP. STOP.

[00:17:40]>> If you break anything in this car, you get another charge.

[00:17:43]>> Now break.

[00:17:43]>> CLOSE THE DOOR. THERE'S NOTHING.

[00:17:45]>> Move your foot.

[00:17:46]>> MOVE THE FOOT.

[00:17:47]>> STOP.

[00:17:48]>> Move the foot.

[00:17:49]>> Stop.

[00:17:51]Move your leg.

[00:17:53]>> Stop. Please stop. Just stop.

[00:17:58]>> Move your foot.

[00:18:02]>> Close the door.

[00:18:06]>> Finish up. Take her to the jail.

[00:18:08]>> The subject was charged with resisting arrest with violence and battery. Court disposition remains unknown at time of analysis. The responding officer receives a grade of B+. The investigative approach was methodical and legally grounded. Probable cause was developed through multiple witnesses before any enforcement action was taken.

[00:18:28]Force remained proportional under Graham throughout a sustained struggle.

[00:18:31]Pre-force warnings were issued and documented. The deduction from an Agrade reflects one tactical deficiency. Single officer management of an actively resistant subject for an extended period before backup arrived. initiating or delaying the arrest until a second officer was present would have reduced risk to all parties and reflect sounder doctrine. The subject receives a grade of C. The sympathetic circumstances, emotional distress, marital conflict, concern for her child are acknowledged.

[00:19:00]They do not, however, alter the legal analysis. The subject's fifth amendment right to withhold a self-inccriminating account was exercised imperfectly but legitimately during the investigative phase that is credited. What drives the grade down is the decision to physically resist a lawful arrest for approximately 6 minutes. That resistance converted misdemeanor domestic battery exposure into felony. Resisting with violence a self-inflicted legal consequence.

[00:19:28]Compliance at any point during the arrest would have ended. the physical engagement and limited criminal liability to the underlying domestic matter alone. The core lesson from this encounter applies to both parties. For law enforcement, single officer initiation of a physical arrest against an actively resistant subject is a preventable risk. When backup is available, waiting costs seconds. The alternative can cost significantly more.

[00:19:54]For citizens, resisting a lawful arrest, regardless of how unjust the arrest may feel in the moment, does not reduce legal exposure. It multiplies it. The lawful remedy for an unlawful arrest is the court, not the street.
