This woman understands more than she let on. I have no problem with where someone came from as long as they are here legally. They should also learn to speak and understand English. If I were in Mexico and did not make an effort to speak Spanish then they would not communicate with me. Thanks ASP for your patience even though the woman was in the wrong. STAY SAFE OUT THERE TROOPER.

[@Dee-743]

Her b.s. was getting on my last nerve.

[@kristintaylorphotographe1243]

1. Plenty of places to pull over however we stop in road way? 2. Knows English when necessary 😅 3. NO DRIVERS LICENSE 😮 WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!

She understood all that was spoken English or Spanish but trying to act like she knows nothing

[@paulbankard1525]

Exactly. She knew what was being said. She was just trying to BS her way out of a ticket.

[@kdre7368]

No I don’t believe she knows everything, even if she understood some words sometimes context can get mixed up because of language barriers. She may get some things of course because of tv and other that speak English but she truly doesn’t understand all of what’s going on .

They always understand “jail” when you say it

[@smoberdeen]

It probably took her that long to pull over because she was rehearsing for her "no speak English" act.

[@PamelaCulp-k7v]

Maybe it's just me, but she seem to understand everything Trooper Richardson said to her while she was sitting in the back seat. I think it's selective comprehension. That young boy was put in an awkward situation, shame on her. 🤷🏻‍♀️Trooper Richardson is a calm respectful man. Another gorgeous image. Thanks NST ❤🇺🇸🚑

[@enid0mom]

Yeah, it’s just you. And a few other jerks in the comments. Body language and tone of voice can convey more than you might think. She didn’t know exactly what was wrong, but she knew she did something wrong. Did you happen to notice she used an app to translate what she wanted to say to English? At first the Trooper used an app as well until he found the kid could translate for him. VERY common for kids to be translators for a parent.

[@enid0mom]

@@PamelaCulp-k7v Yeah, there are unfortunately people who believe bullshit about immigrants. Maybe you have missed all the comments backing up what I am saying. Mexicans that live along the US-Mexico border or work in the tourist destinations are going to understand a lot of English, and some other languages as well. Everyone else knows as much English as you do Spanish.

[@arthurschmidt1208]

I guess the trooper should've set his siren to "Spanish." That's why they drove a mile before stopping. They didn't understand it.

If you live in the United States where English is our primary language, learn to speak it and understand it! Our officers shouldn't have to use a translator to give directions or get information from whomever they pull over! We would have to speak their language if we lived in their country.

[@ImUrHuckleberry33]

In France and other European countries they tell you real fast to speak their language or hire someone to translate for you..

[@user-peach408]

We don’t have a national language for this country by law. If we did, everything would require English to be printed on everything. I use to live in Atlanta Georgia, now there are sections where all signage is in another language and no English (due to no national language requirement) Think about it and talk to your legislators!

[@debras1503]

Because we’ll pay the bill and that is all this stupid President has to say about it…🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@enid0mom]

That is not at all the same thing. The same thing is if you know the laws of any foreign country while you are driving there. She didn’t think she didn’t need to obey the laws. She didn’t know exactly what the laws are. The Trooper explained that when he told the kid to tell her she had to have a license. She will have to take test proving she knows the laws. The people you should really be pissed at are so called sovereign citizens because they truly don’t think the laws apply to them. But the Bill of Rights does. They DO know what the laws are because there was a time they obeyed them. Not obeying the laws, primarily registering and insuring the vehicle and having a valid drivers license, causes them endless problems but they keep at it anyway even after having vehicles impounded and spending some time in jail.

Thanks, NST, for this video! I surely wish I could have been there, with permission, to help translate. Trooper Richardson was very patient with the lady. She said she was from Mexico; the laws there and the interactions with the police can be very different.

[@clintmurray6149]

I know the feeling. I am bilingual as well. I was fortunate enough to be able to work in law enforcement for a short time. Whenever I had contact with a Hispanic person you could see the sudden ease they had whenever I started speaking Spanish and I could understand there culture.

Wow the hate on a person because they don't speak the language. Keep in mind people it isn't as easy as you arrive in a country and you magically know the language ,you need resources in order to do so and they are not always available to everyone. Let's keep that in mind before you spout out they "need to learn our language" line. Remember everyone came from somewhere and did not speak the language obviously the Trooper understood that and was patient with her, you need to know the situation of the individual, not everyone sneaks across the border there are actually those who come here legally. They are struggling to learn the language. When my Mother came to NY from Puerto Rico, for those who don't know it is part of the US, She was coming from a place that the average level of education was 4th grade and she struggled to find ways to learn English, but My mother spoke with an accent but she did learn how to speak English. It's not always the goal of people to not learn the language it takes time and when you're out there doing jobs that most don't want to do, the time is not always available. They can't always learn quickly it's a process. My mother learned by paying close attention to TV shows and since she worked 18hr days in a factory it didn't happen overnight . So let's think about a person's struggles before we condemn them for not speaking the language and also keep in mind the U.S. is a country founded by immigrants and there is no official language

So the traffic laws are just a recommendation because violating them has no effect on public safety unless you are unlucky? If there was any true justice in a civilized society the people who are killed and maimed by those violating the “inconvenient” traffic laws would be the folks who think those who are tasked with enforcing those laws are being unreasonable and “macho”. It’s really not that hard to obey a speed limit, own a driver’s license and insurance or comply with a court date. How can that possibly be a bad thing? If you don’t like a state where the laws are enforced please move to one of the hellholes that don’t. I think everyone in the state you leave will be happier and safer. SMH

It's unbelievable in this day and age that law enforcement does not have interpreter services on standby as we do in healthcare.
