Kira Fonteneau - Attorney Your rights matter - at work AND on the street. If power got it wrong, we’re talking about it here. ⚖️🎥

I’m an employment & civil rights attorney posting body cam breakdowns, discrimination cases, and the legal truth behind the headlines.

Roadside field sobriety tests and the portable breath test are voluntary, and the deputy says so on camera. Refusing them isn’t a crime, but an officer can still arrest if the smell of alcohol, an admission to drinking, and test performance add up to probable cause. Force is judged under Graham v. Connor: was it objectively reasonable given the offense, the threat, and any resistance? Arguing isn’t resisting, but pulling away can be.=

she wasn't denied a seat because she was loud. she was denied because she was drunk

and that's completely legal. an airline can refuse anyone who looks intoxicated. no refund fight, no appeal at the gate, no "i paid for this"

the cops didn't even arrest her for the drinking. they arrested her for what came after: screaming, cursing around kids, and refusing to leave when told

being told "no" by a private company isn't a crime. refusing to walk away when deputies ask you to is how you turn a missed flight into a court date

all she had to do was go home and sleep it off

she said "you didn't read me my rights" like ten times on camera

doesn't matter. miranda only kicks in when cops question you in custody. they can arrest you without saying a word of it

what actually hurt her: telling them she'd been drinking a few hours ago, and not getting out of the car when told

"i was already parked" might've been a real defense. she just argued it on the roadside instead of with a lawyer

step out, stay calm, ask for a lawyer, stop talking

He refused to show his driver’s license, insisted he was “traveling” instead of driving, questioned the officers about the Constitution, and then called 911 on the officers during his own traffic stop. 🚔📞

But here’s the legal reality: claiming to be a “sovereign citizen” does not exempt someone from generally applicable traffic laws. During a lawful traffic stop, officers can require a driver to provide identification and the required driving documents.

Knowing your rights matters. But so does knowing what those rights actually protect.

Was he exercising his rights, or relying on a legal argument that doesn’t hold up?

She thought she might be able to receive a citation and go home, but the situation changed because she was visiting Florida from out of state.

The officer explains that a notice to appear can be used instead of taking someone into custody, but in this case, the officer says she could not issue one because the woman was not a Florida resident. That meant she was taken to jail, booked, and would need to post bond before being released.

The legal breakdown gets interesting here: the underlying offense can be the same, but the decision to issue a notice to appear instead of making an arrest can depend on factors such as residency and whether the person is likely to return for court.

She was also told that, because she was under 21, there could be an additional issue involving alcohol in her possession.
