Officer on Foot Waves Her Down, She Keeps Driving - Then Tells Dad "I Really Didn't Even Know"

On October 3, 2025, a uniformed motor officer in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, steps into the road to stop a passing car. The driver keeps going, crosses a double yellow line, and later says she never realized he was police. By the time he finds her car, the question is no longer the traffic violation.
