Mexico City Police Say Plate Was Removed Over Phone Use, Expired Paperwork in Rey Grupero Stop

Officials attribute the measure to cellphone use during driving alongside lapsed documentation.

Overview

  • The SSC reported that the car carrying influencer Rey Grupero was stopped on Periférico at Avenida Luis Cabrera in Álvaro Obregón after the driver was seen using a cellphone.
  • Police said the female driver presented an expired registration and had no driver’s license, leading to an infraction.
  • Because the vehicle had out-of-state plates, officers removed a plate as a guarantee of payment, according to the SSC account.
  • Video shared by journalist Carlos Jiménez shows Rey Grupero insulting an officer, who warns he could refer the case to the Ministerio Público and records the interaction.
  • The SSC said the officer left after removing the plate to avoid further confrontation, and Milenio reported the influencer had not issued a public statement as reactions online remained split.
