Pepperspray shows 19-year-old Tara Palmieri being detained in her family&rsquo;s garage next to a warm-hooded 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-mustang\/\">Mustang<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>But the arrest itself, and how the officer carried it out, is where the controversy has erupted. The officer claims that Palmieri blew past him through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/01\/subaru-wrx-ripped-in-half-by-snow-plow-during-failed-overtake-attempt\/\">a no-passing zone<\/a> despite his direction for her to pull over.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Palmieri claims she saw &ldquo;a guy in black and white&rdquo; on the roadside who didn&rsquo;t look like a cop and who wasn&rsquo;t directly in her path. The video does seem to corroborate that account. <\/p>\n<p>One lawyer reviewing the footage argued the officer looked more like a housing-security guard than a marked law enforcement presence. The lack of lights, sirens, or a patrol vehicle that was parked far away out of sight only adds to the uncertainty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>That&rsquo;s key because in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/florida\/\">Florida<\/a>, fleeing and eluding requires a clear, unmistakable order from law enforcement. There are other issues with the arrest as well. <\/p>\n<p>The video appears to show the officers entering the family garage without audible consent from her or anyone else in the home. That&rsquo;s potentially a Fourth Amendment issue, and then, if that wasn&rsquo;t enough, the officer appears to question her and obtain evidence without reading Palmieri her Miranda rights. <\/p>\n<p>She repeatedly asked for a supervisor and challenged inconsistencies in the officer&rsquo;s account, but those concerns were brushed aside while she was cuffed. <\/p>\n<p>Palmieri posted her $2,500 bond and was due in court on December 3. If the viral discourse is any indication, she might end up walking away from the only charge she&rsquo;s facing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"e46c436a-adeb-4b5e-a2c7-56bc36561c10\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"b25ecba7-3bbb-4ea7-a3a8-dbea91695c07\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         \t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             \t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    \t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;b25ecba7-3bbb-4ea7-a3a8-dbea91695c07&#8221;);<br \/>\n             \t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;e46c436a-adeb-4b5e-a2c7-56bc36561c10&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Full video: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pUOmpcEKP4\">pic.twitter.com\/pUOmpcEKP4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Corbin Williams (@corbinwilliams) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/corbinwilliams\/status\/1996126252433113270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit: Sgt.
