A pregnant woman who feared she was having a miscarriage was stopped from going to the emergency room for 20 minutes by an officer after her husband honked at him for blocking the hospital entrance with his car.
Kevin Enciso was driving his pregnant wife Sabrina, 32, to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida on doctor’s orders because she was in pain from a car accident she was involved in the day before.
But as they approached the hospital in 100F heat on July 28, they found two Miami-Dade cop cars blocking the parking lot entrance as the officers had a chat.
Father-to-be Kevin, 28, decided to honk at the distracted deputies in a bid to rush his wife inside. One officer swiftly moved out of the way while the other decided to conduct a traffic stop.
And despite behind just a few hundred yards from the hospital entrance and in the middle of a medical emergency, the couple were instead interrogated by the officer for 20 minutes – who brushed off Sabrina’s concerns since she was still ‘breathing.’
It was only after first responders took tearful Sabrina’s blood pressure, which was ‘sky rocketing,’ that the police officers let her pass through and enter the emergency ward.
Sabrina told DailyMail.com that at the time, she was only seven weeks into her pregnancy and had suffered a miscarriage just last year – hence her panic and urgency when she was rushed to the hospital.
After spending multiple hours in the ER following the ordeal, she found out that she was thankfully still pregnant and was in fact expecting twins.

Footage showed the moment the couple was pulled over by Daniels at the stop sign right before the hospital. Kevin attempted to move around the cop who had halted at the stop sign for several seconds
Speaking about the ordeal, the mother-to-be told DailyMail.com: ‘We had a miscarriage last year, and so the fear of it happening all over again was pretty terrible.
‘I was about six or seven weeks [pregnant] – the time where anything can happen. I was really red and upset, I was crying at that point.
‘We were in shock that someone was taking advantage of this moment, and I don’t know if the police officer had a bad day, but we were completely caught off guard.
‘We need to hold him fully accountable.’
CCTV footage shows Kevin’s vehicle approach and stop behind one of the police cars – before a second cop makes a left turn and halts – blocking both lanes towards the hospital.
After waiting nearly 20 seconds behind the officers, Kevin honked his horn to notify them of his presence – but he himself was then pulled over.
Recording the ordeal, Kevin was heard asking the officer: ‘What are you pulling me over for?’ but officer Daniels just responded: ‘Sir, give me your license.’
The expectant father, who refused to hand over his license because he didn’t ‘commit a crime’ said: ‘I honked at you very nicely – one time – for you to move out of the way.
Kevin pleaded with the officers to allow his wife to go the hospital, but Daniels insisted proof his wife had been in a hospital and was experiencing pain
The pair revealed that they had miscarried a child last year – hence their urgency when they rushed to the emergency room. Thankfully, after the ordeal with the police officers, they found out that they are expecting twins
‘I have an emergency that is why I’m at the emergency room for my wife.’
Sabrina later added: ‘I think I’m going to miscarry.’
Following the altercation with the officer, Kevin was ushered out of the car while Sabrina followed.
‘Oh, so you’re okay now?’ Officer Daniels said to Sabrina.
‘I had an accident,’ she responded. ‘I’m having a lot of pain.’
The officer proceeded to walk toward Sabrina to insist she sat down while he called Fire and Rescue, despite the hospital being only a few feet away.
‘She’s alert, she’s breathing,’ Daniels is heard saying.
Minutes passed while the officer called for help, and Sabrina began to breathe heavily. Kevin continued to refuse to surrender his license while the officer asked again what was wrong with his wife.
To which Sabrina responded: ‘I think I’m getting ready to miscarry. I am coming to the ER today because that’s what my doctor stated I needed to do, to make sure I don’t lose this child.’
Daniels proceeded to call Fire & Rescue to help Sabrina despite the hospital being only a few feet away

Officer Daniels continued to question the expecting mother, who works at the hospital as a financial analyst, about the accident while insisting on seeing the police report as proof.
‘We are going to have Fire and Rescue come and treat you right now. They’ll look at you and take your vitals and everything from the accident you had yesterday,’ the officer said.
Daniels and Kevin continued to quarrel outside the car while another cop got out of his car to wait for help.
After Fire & Rescue showed up and took the pregnant woman’s vitals, Officer Daniels cleared the couple to go to the emergency room but warned Kevin to never honk his horn at an officer.
The couple proceeded to the waiting room and stayed at the hospital for hours.
The video footage sparked outrage on social media as viewers were in disbelief, and called Daniels ‘irresponsible.’
‘Imagine a civilian blocking access to an ER and starting trouble with those trying to seek medical attention,’ one social media user said.
Another scornfully added, ‘It’s a good thing we have the police, to protect and serve, themselves.’
Others insisted the officer be held responsible.
‘The cops needs to be charged and needs to pay the cost of the emergency response team he called in. This is a dirty cop that needs to be fired and charged with harassment.’
A complaint to the Miami-Dade police department filed claiming the civil rights of the couple were violated, according to WSVN.
