When Entitlement Meets Authority: Two Shocking Cases of Privileged Behavior Gone Wrong

In a world increasingly focused on individual freedoms and personal rights, some people take those ideals a step too far—believing they are immune to rules and above the law. For law enforcement officers across the country, this attitude often turns routine stops into chaotic confrontations. Two such incidents, involving Jenny Rose Kassing Saunders in New Jersey and a young woman named Tiffany in Florida, vividly demonstrate what happens when inflated entitlement collides with legal authority.

Case One: Jenny Rose Kassing Saunders – The Window Standoff

On April 26, 2022, in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, a simple traffic stop became a viral cautionary tale. An officer initiated the stop after noticing expired license plates. The driver, Jenny Rose Kassing Saunders, 38, was found to be hostile and uncooperative from the moment she was approached.

Despite the officer’s clear and repeated instructions to lower her window and provide her license, registration, and insurance, Saunders ignored the commands. Instead of complying, she attempted to call someone on her phone, claiming she didn’t feel safe.

“Stop! I don’t feel safe! Don’t trap me!” she cried, her voice growing more panicked with every repeated request.

When the officer partially reached through the window to unlock the door, Saunders responded by raising the window on his arm—an action that swiftly escalated the situation. This led to her arrest on the spot for aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and obstruction of justice.

Despite her pleas of innocence and confusion—“What am I being arrested for?”—the situation was compounded by the discovery that she had an outstanding warrant in New Jersey and another fugitive warrant in Pennsylvania. Even in the police station, her combative attitude continued. She refused to follow instructions, demanded explanations, and insisted on her version of the truth.

What began as a minor infraction could have ended with a ticket or a court date. Instead, Jenny Rose is now facing multiple serious charges. Her refusal to cooperate not only endangered herself but also resulted in two officers sustaining minor injuries.

Case Two: Tiffany – Emotional Turmoil and Escalating Drama

Just a few weeks later, on May 4, 2022, in Pasco County, Florida, officers responded to a battery in progress outside a CVS pharmacy. The alleged assailant, a young woman named Tiffany, immediately presented herself as someone who believed her personal struggles gave her a free pass to act out.

“I just found out my mom has cancer again,” she said, explaining why she had thrown a soda at her friend, Kelly. But Tiffany’s version of events quickly unraveled. She shifted her story from saying she threw the soda to claiming it merely spilled, trying to downplay the incident while simultaneously keeping up the appearance of an emotionally overwhelmed daughter.

Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation, but Tiffany refused to take responsibility. She continued to talk over them, pace around, and attempt to walk away mid-investigation—a move that is explicitly prohibited when officers are trying to determine the facts.

When officers told her she had to stay put, Tiffany pushed back—literally. In the chaos, she kicked an officer, turning the situation from a civil investigation into a criminal act of battery on a law enforcement officer.

Her tone switched rapidly. She went from shouting and asserting herself to sobbing and pleading for her “Daddy.” This Jekyll-and-Hyde shift in behavior is common in individuals who aren’t used to facing consequences.

Things only got worse. A search of her belongings revealed prescription narcotics that didn’t belong to her. The pills were in her purse, prescribed to her mother. Her father—who arrived on the scene shortly after—confirmed that they were meant for his wife. He claimed that Tiffany may have been given some to calm her down, but the implication was clear: she was in possession of a controlled substance that wasn’t prescribed to her.

Despite her father’s efforts to advocate on her behalf, Tiffany now faces battery charges and potential drug possession charges.

Common Themes: Entitlement and Denial

Both Jenny Rose and Tiffany exhibit similar behavioral patterns that are emblematic of a growing problem in today’s society: an inability to accept accountability. Whether through invoking personal crises, denying obvious facts, or deflecting responsibility, these individuals show a profound misunderstanding of how authority works—and a belief that rules don’t apply to them.

Some key similarities include:

Victim Mentality: Both individuals repeatedly insisted that they were being unfairly targeted or misunderstood, even as they escalated the situation themselves.
Non-Compliance: Simple instructions—lowering a window, staying in place—were treated as optional. This refusal to follow lawful orders resulted in charges that could have been easily avoided.
Shifting Blame: Jenny blamed fear and confusion. Tiffany cited her mother’s cancer and emotional stress. Both used external circumstances to justify their disruptive and illegal behavior.
Disregard for Consequences: From trapping an officer’s arm to physically assaulting police, both showed zero recognition of the seriousness of their actions until it was far too late.

The Cost of Privilege-Driven Defiance

In both cases, initial offenses were relatively minor—a traffic stop and a personal dispute. However, the sense of entitlement these women displayed turned manageable situations into criminal cases with long-term consequences.

Entitlement isn’t just a personality flaw; when it meets the justice system, it becomes a liability. Police officers are trained to de-escalate situations and follow protocol. They don’t randomly decide to arrest or use force. Their decisions are typically responses to escalating behavior—behavior often fueled by the suspect’s refusal to cooperate.

Conclusion: A Warning to the Entitled

Both Jenny Rose and Tiffany serve as real-world examples of what happens when defiance and arrogance meet law enforcement. These are not heroes fighting injustice—they are individuals learning that no one is above the law, no matter how privileged, emotional, or self-righteous they feel.

For those watching these incidents unfold online, the lesson is clear: compliance isn’t about surrender—it’s about safety. The time to contest a stop or a charge is in court, not in the heat of the moment. Failure to understand that can turn an inconvenience into a criminal record.

Entitlement doesn’t grant immunity—it only magnifies the fall.
