She Lied to a Cop About Her Name Twice - Then Said "I Just Got Nervous"

On May 10, 2023, an officer with the Cocoa Beach Police Department in Florida stopped a car for an expired registration. The driver said she had no license on her, claimed she had just been robbed, and gave a name and date of birth. Minutes later, the officer said the name did not check out. A second name failed too, and a routine stop ended in handcuffs, a towed car, and a struggle during fingerprinting. Was the extended stop lawful? And when does a nervous lie become a crime?
