The bodycam footage is older, but it is still circulating widely online after being uploaded by Police Insider in February 2025 and has now surpassed 3.2 million views. That's why we're sharing it now.

The encounter begins with an officer arriving at a bar where a group had reportedly been denied further service following trouble around the pool. His initial instructions are simple: gather your things, leave and don't come back.

Most of the group appears to understand the assignment.

As the conversation drags on, the officer finally gives her a deadline.

"You have two minutes to get ready," he tells her. "If you're not done, I'm taking you to jail for trespassing."

Her response is not exactly conciliatory.

"I don't care either," she says before mocking the warning. "I love the time hack. It's so cute."

The countdown proves less funny a few minutes later.

A man with the woman eventually tries to pick her up and physically guide her away from the confrontation. For a moment, the officer appears willing to let him solve the problem.

Then she resists him and the officer steps in.

The woman repeatedly demands to know why she is being arrested as the officer moves to handcuff her.

"What am I going to jail for?" she asks.

Once she is restrained, the officer replies, "I gave you two minutes to get your stuff and leave, but you wouldn't."

At another point, while standing against the vehicle, she offers an unusual piece of reassurance.

"I've done this before, sir, I swear."

The officer later explains that her companion had actually been trying to help her leave and that the woman appeared ready to turn that effort into another confrontation.

Her attitude changes considerably once she is placed in the police vehicle.

"I did nothing, sir," she says before apologizing repeatedly.

Then comes a comment suggesting an arrest was not an entirely unfamiliar experience.

"Another charge on my record," she says.

As the officer continues speaking with her companion outside the vehicle, she keeps pleading for another chance.

"I'm so sorry that I got caught up in this stupid [expletive]," she says.

Near the end of the encounter, she makes one final case for herself.

"I swear I'm the sweetest soul, dude," she says. "I'm the sweetest soul."

The officer also tells her companion that she wasn't even the person who caused the original problem that brought him there. According to his body-cam explanation, that person had already left peacefully.

Police Insider identifies the woman only as a 23-year-old and reports that she was charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing and resisting arrest.

Guessing Headlights has not independently identified the woman, the police agency or a corresponding court case, so the eventual disposition of those reported charges remains unclear.
