18-Year-Old Hiding a Gun Turns Traffic Stop into Wild Mess

On May 1, 2022 in Florida, officers conducted a traffic stop on a Chevy pickup after a check of the registration revealed the driver's license had been suspended. The driver had also been made aware of the suspension by officers during an unrelated call for service a few weeks prior. When the officers confronted the occupants of the vehicle, the rear passenger opened his door as if he was going to flee. This is body cam footage of the events that followed.

A crybaby with a gun is a dangerous thing

Step 1. Don't drive around with a suspended license with two dudes with drugs and weapons. Step 2. Refer to step 1 to not go to jail.

Anybody else notice the guy in the front passenger seat who did everything he was told and wasn’t doing anything against the law wasn’t charged with anything at the end and walked freely without further incident? That’s how it’s done folks. If you follow his example when law enforcement pulls you over, you get to go home that same day and enjoy getting on with the rest of your life. Be like him.

Accountability always seems to be the best way to get a grown man to start crying like a little girl.

Being scared because you know what you're doing is wrong is NOT PTSD, it's insane how stupid some of these people are.

18 and already has that many convictions? He’s going far in life.

“I’m responsible for what’s in my car?” I always told my kids “You’re known by the company you keep.”

I HATE when people casually throw out PTSD. They don't even know wtf that means.

[Linzig]

The guy in white did exactly what you should do when approached by police. Remain calm, be respectful and obey commands. Other guy....please learn from your friend

[margoumbach]

Tough guy turned to tears really fast.

What amazes me is that so many of the kids and adults drive around with no license, insurance, or valid registration!

[bobmcdoggish]

Aren't drugs wonderful when combined with entitlement and unlimited stupidity!

[jennydiver]

If you ever get pulled over, be sure to act as sus as possible.😂

[PrinceRafa]

The fact that I have to share the road with people like that is truly terrifying. Thank you officers for keeping the community safe.

[maverick]

PTSD? Is this the new “I’m not accountable” thing going on? Love this

[cmral]

He doesn't have PTSD, he's just a coward.

[willboywonder]

The front passenger was super cooperative. He needs to pick better friends.

[JeagerTank]

Screaming PTSD is like yelling cheeseburger. Ain't nobody care about your order.

[kathyjaissle]

How did he think that screaming and fighting the cops would end??? So stupid

[ANDR_U]

What a maniac. If one of my friends acted like him around cops he would be mocked forever.
