On September 26th, 2025, an officer in Florida was parked downtown when he heard the sound of a car horn blaring in the distance. He traced the noise to a black Honda that was aggressively tailgating an SUV, but the second he activated his lights and sirens, the blaring finally stopped. Here's what the officer did next.
Can you copy a 4 to 10?
What's up officer?
What's going on?
Trying to get that guy so I can make some room for another passenger.
So you beeped for a good minute, two minutes?
No, it wasn't quite that long.
I was listening. I was listening.
I was counting. I was counting.
That was absolutely ridiculous. Do you have your license on you?
That is quite ridiculous.
Do you have your license?
No, I don't.
You have no license. Don't tell me to get out of here. I will. You're road raging and that's a problem.
No, I'm actually not road raging.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not.
You're welcome.
I'm not.
Copy.
The RO's Alicia.
He needed to move up so I could make some more room for another driver. That's all that happened.
Guess what? What? Okay, guess what? Guess what? That's not your responsibility to make somebody move and then to just to beep your horn and just to lay on it all the way from wherever you came from.
Was it really that bad?
That was unacceptable, yes.
I don't think so, that's your opinion.
It was.
It is your opinion, I'm well aware.
That was very unacceptable.
It was not, thank you.
Go ahead, back up. I want you to pull into this parking lot, okay? I'm not going to.
You have no right.
I've done nothing illegal.
Whiskey six, I'm here at 94 please.
I've got an uncooperative driver.

You're literally having a road rage incident in the middle of traffic. So after I tell her a second time, she's like, all right, so she throws it in reverse. I said, there's somebody coming behind you. There's somebody crossing. So I had to yell for her to stop. She almost took out the guy behind her.
And I just put in park park step out of the car so she jumps out pissed off screaming at me. Black car's hers. I haven't talked to I don't know what was going on with her but something with the other car not giving her enough room to let somebody else pass through the intersection or something. She just was losing it. Okay. She needs to search for anything? Yeah, she doesn't need to search for anything. Super aggressive, super kind of combative.
Alright, if you want to go talk to him, we'll search her.
Okay.

She raps about alcohol.
Hello officer, how are you doing today?
Hey man, what was going on back there. I just saw her. She was kind of tailing you. I was confused too. But I mean, as far as I know, I work at that law firm, law firm,
I feel like I lost the way. And then I just see her waving her hands. And I was so confused. Cause I was like, did she hit me or I didn't, I couldn't really tell. It wasn't bad at all.
She did bump you?
I definitely did feel a bump.
But yeah, I'm going to, I work at. Okay.
I was going to work, but it was a crazy kind of service.
And then she just kept beeping and beeping and beeping.
And beeping, waving her hands. I was so confused because I really couldn't... Because I didn't think I did anything wrong and I was worried. I was like, did I mess up? But I'm thinking about it. I just crossed the... It's green. There's no light.
So I think she just wasn't paying attention. She got mad at me.
So you were pulling out of the law firm to take a left? No, I was... Where were you? I was at the light. I just went straight at the light. Straight across, okay. Straight across.
Yeah, very strange.
Okay, and she was behind you beeping that whole time?
Yeah, it was very... I couldn't really understand what was happening.
Okay.
I mean, I certainly don't recognize her.
Okay, alright. Hold on one second. She might have bumped into that too. She's like, he felt he felt the car like kind of bump. He was coming this way through the light and he felt like a little jolt.
He's like, it wasn't really hard. Like I kind of startled me. She's like, it felt like she kind of like hit my back end as I was going through.
Yeah.
So I'm assuming you see that mark right there. It was probably like going to license plate or somewhere along here.
Right here.
Right here.
I don't know.
I don't think that's it, but it's about at the height of that line. But you can see where the dots and little scrapes are.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Everything that's going on, like we're going to know everything that's going on. Well now how would we?
And how would the officer that was telling you a lawful order and you wouldn't do it?
I just found Pompey.
I just found Pompey. I understand but that doesn't mean that what he's saying just is null and void at that
point.
What is he saying exactly?
Well, I wasn't there. I was behind the door, I made the noise, right? I was watching our noise, whatever, the sirens. I came out and I had my license.
And that's it.
And then he f***ed me in the air.
The ear of the vehicle?
The ear of the vehicle. Obviously I'm not out. I was certainly backed up before being backed up. There was a person behind me. And then we used that as a pretext to handcuff me. I wasn't going to hit the person. He told me to put it in reverse.
I did. There was a person walking behind me.

I understand that, but you still did it, so he still can stop you for that horn. You know what I mean? There is a statute for excessive use of horn. So if you're laying on your horn or blaring on your horn, then yes, you can get pulled over for that.
Two, three, four, five, one, two, four.
I'm a good role model. Alicia blew a .08 on a breath test. Because that's right on

Can you please be kind? Absolutely.

And then yeah, somebody was crossing as you put in reverse and I was like, whoa, hold up. Luckily, luckily, I didn't know if you saw him. But again, he was right behind you as you started as you started rolling. So that's why I was like, you know, just get out. Well, we're going to do this over here. When I told you to sit down. I didn't want to be. Yes, it doesn't matter. You're right at that time. You're it's a detention. Okay. And then you said, no, you weren't going to want to be humiliated like that for blaring.
Okay. So unfortunately your choice of blaring your horn from all the way through the intersection. Okay, like I said, I heard it and I was wondering where it was coming from until it finally got closer and closer and closer. Okay, um, thirdly, you bumped into him. You hit his bumper. That's basically road rage. If you were to like Google a definition of what it is, that's what it would be. You're driving in an erratic manner.
I wasn't erratic.
