This Tuesday, Ultrack once again captured public attention by sharing a TikTok video that documents his encounter with the police in Miami, where he was fined $179 for failing to obey a stop sign.
The video begins with the Cuban influencer addressing the camera directly from his car. Rather than expressing frustration, his lighthearted response became the highlight of the clip.
"They fined me one hundred seventy-nine dollars. Honestly, they should have charged me more," he candidly told his followers.
Ultrack explained that he typically stops at intersections, but was distracted on that particular day: "I usually come to a complete stop, but you know, sometimes you're just not paying attention. I slowed down but didn't stop completely."
Unbeknownst to him, an officer was stationed nearby. As soon as Ultrack failed to come to a full stop, the officer followed him, requested his identification, and issued the fine.
The most unexpected part of the video came later: Ultrack not only accepted the penalty but also deemed it too lenient, making a direct appeal to Miami's authorities.
"They should have fined me a thousand dollars, a thousand seems more appropriate for the city of Miami," he declared confidently. "When there's a stop sign, you have to stop, and the lesson needs to hit where it hurts—in the wallet."
The content creator further reflected on the potential dangers of ignoring a stop sign: "If someone runs a stop sign, it can cause an accident and may even cost a human life."
The video concluded with Ultrack praising the officer who stopped him and the broader American police force: "I'm always grateful to the police in this country for doing their job and keeping us safe. Thank you for your service."
It's worth noting that the $179 fine aligns with the standard rate for stop sign violations in Miami-Dade County, which is approximately $175 according to official records, in addition to three points on the driver's license.
Ultrack's partner, Cuban influencer Claudia Artiles, is currently recovering from surgery and has not publicly commented on the incident. Just a day earlier, Ultrack had surprised Claudia for Mother's Day with a video that garnered thousands of views.
