Tampa Police Spokesperson on Fake Sign Language Interpreter: ‘I Let Her In’ 

deaf people watching were confused to why she was acting out the whole shrek movie

I like how she was acting like she was thinking about what to say

Everyone’s gangsta until the fake interpreter does gang signs

I have to give the guy who hired her credit for apologizing and admitting his mistake without any excuses

“We won’t be using that woman again.” I’m speechless.

She really took "Fake it till you make it" to a whole new level.

When she laid her head down like she was going to sleep somebody should have known that this ain't right

She just proved that confidence is everything

The police didn’t ask enough questions. The POLICE.

“We won’t be using that woman again”. Was there a possibility?😂 I am 💀😂😂😂

“I just didn’t ask enough questions” Me: Sir, you didn’t ask ANY questions 🤦🏾‍♀️

“We won’t be using that woman again” sir I would hope not

How she standing next to the police committing fraud again 😂😂😂 I’m 💀💀💀💀💀

I think the best part is the fact that they opened with “ITS HAPPENED AGAIN” 😂😂😂

The funny thing about it, apart from the jibberish signing, is her commitment to look as authentic as she can while keeping a straight face!

This woman makes me feel like I can accomplish anything I put my mind to

When she was grabbing her wrists she was actually signing ...I will soon be handcuffed and arrested

“We will not be using that woman again.” The fact that he even clarified that. 😂

Producer: Do you know sign language? Woman: 🤷‍♀️ Producer: You're hired

What makes this funnier is how confident and professional she behaved.... no wonder they fell for her fake sign language interpretation lol

“We’re not going to use this woman again.” lmao I feel like he still doesn’t fully understand what happened.

Lmfao “she showed up out of the blue & offered her services” 🥴😂🥴

2 years later and I’m still cracking up

The idea that this actually took place cracks me up every time I think about it.

I love how she just woke up one day and chose to do this

Confused deaf people probably wondering why there’s gonna be a second civil war

What kills me is how professional and legitimate it looks. She pulled it off better than the other guy did.

How she managed to keep a straight face the entire time is impressive.

She came all dressed up and prepared to troll?? 😂

How can this woman do this with a straight face on a public forum.

it’s even funnier that she acts like she’s thinking about what to say lmfao

Solid 10/10 apology man owning up to it mad respect

"It happened again" and already im in tears laughing. Thats the coolest way to start this video.

Sign language expert: *she was waving her arms like she was singing jingle bells* Deaf people: why is the police talking about jingle bells??

“We will be charging 4 counts of 1st degree murder” Her: *signing jingle bells*

She’s doing a lot of the similar mannerisms actual signers use, impressive.

Officer: "We will be charging four counts of first degree murder." She: *I said certified freak, seven days a week*

“She waved her arms around like she was singing jingle bells” 🤣🤣🤣

The way she was doing her fingers TOOK ME OUT!!!

She's so funny I can't even be mad at her 😭😭😭

That ending was priceless “Um We won’t be using that woman again.”

the way it opened with "its happened again" ended me

I want this kind of confidence in my life.

I haven’t laughed like this hard in years. My ribs hurt 😂😂😂. Fact that she wasn’t getting paid for this. Like sis, who asked you?

"she waved her arms around like she was singing 'jingle bells.'"💀💀💀

this just proves that confidence really does get you anywhere in life

When she said: 🤟👉🖖😴😵😑🤙👈🤏🙏 I felt that😔

“It’s happened again” LMAO

“We didn’t hire a sign language interpreter but let her in anyways” WTF??

The funny part is that she wasn't even being paid for this. She just wanted to troll 😭

Cop: We arrested some people Interpreter: shsjsbfxmrsbgdvhufgfhfgh Deaf watching: what?

I’m still not convinced that she’s not a sign language interpreter.

She should win an academy award because she acted that out with all of the focus and sincerity of Meryl Streep lol

“We won’t be using that woman again” Well. Duh?

"To the the untrained eye, and that would include mine" You know what, props to the man for being humble about it

She's doing a pretty good job of faking, because she had me fooled.

This Woman be creating a whole new different dance moves for tiktok.

She probably said something like “What’s your favorite color of the alphabet true or false

"We won't be using that woman again"... Bwahahaha😂🤣😭

OI'm still cracking up at this 5r years later

It's people like this that make life less boring.

I laughed when he said: "we won't be using that woman again." How is that even necessary to say?

The fact that she is a known criminal and still managed to do this. This is hilarious !

I'm currently learning ASL, and honestly, she's better than me. Her gibberish was smoother than how I sign my own name.

She literally went:🖐️🤙🖖🤞☝️👆👎🤘👍👋🤟👐✊👊✋✋👌☝️✌️🖕🏻

I wonder who sits around at home then says to themself, “let me get dressed up, take my time to get ready, drive to this press event, and interpret asl specifically even though I can’t sign” 😂😂

She did this for absolutely no reason except to be a troll. I’m dead 😵💀⚰️😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣.

Her: 🤷🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️🤰🏾🙇🏾‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️ Deaf people: Is that… jingle bells??

That was sign language for the blind.

Being able to fake sign off of the top of your head like that is lowkey a talent. Improv skills.

When she said “👌🖐✋☝️👌👉👉💪🤙👈👋☝️👉👆👌👈👈👌👌👈👌👉👍👏” I felt that

This is one of the silliest violations someone can commit

Lmaooo she looked like she knew what she was doing. I'm sorry but that's hilarious and so wrong at the same time

Here's what she's saying in the clips: "... please. Announced tonight that an arrest was made [fingerspelling]...for the killer." (can't make out the pronoun she is signing. Maybe a name or a place? Very sloppy) "4 cases of first degree murder" "We received 55,000,000 tips in this case... please... announced tonight that an arrest was made [fingerspelling]... for the killer" (same clip as beginning) "4 cases of first degree murder" (same clip as before) "... meeting we had when (something) then (something)" "the individual was asleep in their bed, thanks..." (probably saying 'thanks to ___") "... tonight. More questions..." yellow shirt dude: "questions, (random letters?)" "... true direct questions... people asleep in their beds..." This video is waaaay overexaggerating. Her signing isn't "total nonsense". She's not a very good interpreter at all, but it looks like she is trying to sign what he's saying.

The fact that she didn’t even ask for money and was just doing this in the name of fraudulence 😭 sis making all the frauds in the world proud

“Police say this was not a crime, but was an ethical violation.” 💀

She learnt sign language using Duolingo, that's why.

I mean it’s terrible but I just can’t stop laughing. She didn’t even ask for money lol just out there doing minimal crimes lol

"We wont be using that woman again" Captain Obvious: really now?

I get so tickled every time this runs across my mind .... like I be dying laughing , cause wtf sis🤣🤣🤣🤣

THE FACT THAT SHE DIDNT LAUGH I AM SCREAMINGGG LMFAOOO 💀💀💀😂😂

Her confidence is off the charts

I gotta admit she was pretty fluent in fake sign language.

I need this level of confidence

Deaf people: *confused* This lady: 💁🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🙎🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

Imagine having the courage to stand there on national television and make up your own fake ass language and slay it......... gotta give her credit for that.

“I just didn’t ask enough questions.” Just makes this funnier 🤦🏾‍♀️

they hate to see a girl boss win

I can appreciate that Steve was honest about his mistake and didn’t shift the blame on anyone else like so many people do.

Deaf people: “the jail is holding a Christmas pageant?”

She was arrested multiple times for fraud. And she shows up out of the blue committing another fraud in front of the police department. She can't be stopped. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

that witch summoning demons on live TV and had everybody fooled 😂

You “won’t be using this woman again.” No kidding.

"We won't be using that woman again" 🙄 huh. What a good decision!

Imagine being deaf and wondering why everyone's singing jingle bells in court lmao

😂😂😂 he just hired some random person off the street wit no experience lol

Sis out here throwing gang signs 😂

I just want a transcript of what she signed. 🤣

Me: cool, fake sign language, FUNNY deaf people: Why is it now illigal to have a dog that wears pants in the middle of January

The confidence of Hercules himself, in the flesh, waving in the air, without a care...
