“I’m actually a diplomat.”
A Florida driver clocked doing 34 mph in an active 20 mph school zone refused to provide a recognized driver’s license and claimed the state had no jurisdiction over her.
Then officers told her something else:
Her license was suspended.
She handed over an identification card officers said wasn’t legally recognized, continued claiming diplomatic status, and insisted she answered to God’s law instead of Florida law.
Even after a supervisor arrived and repeatedly explained what she needed to do, she refused to comply.
After several warnings, she finally stepped out and was taken into custody.
Her response?
“Why am I being arrested?”
She said she hadn’t harmed anyone, mentioned having eight children, and later reportedly gave her residence as:
“God’s land.”
34 in a 20.
Suspended license.
“I’m a diplomat.”
“God’s land.”
That traffic stop escalated quickly.
