Police pulled over New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith for speeding on July 6, marking his third encounter with cops since March. This time, the Davie Police Department stopped him at 11:20 a.m. for allegedly going 25 mph over the speed limit.
Body camera footage obtained by the New York Post shows a police officer complimenting Geno Smith on his 2025 Aston Martin car before telling him that he was driving too fast.
“All right, sir,” the police officer told Smith. “Beautiful car. Seventy miles an hour, man, that’s too fast for 45.”
When asked for his license, Geno Smith told the officer that he didn’t have it on him and that the car belonged to a friend.
“I live right here; my license and everything is in my house,” Smith said, referring to his nearby mansion in Davie.
After the officer let him go after taking down his information and warned him that he is supposed to have physical identification on him while driving, Smith told the cop, “My bad.”
The officer cited Smith for unlawful speed and for not having his driver’s license.
Geno Smith also had run-ins with police in June and in March
The New York Jets quarterback’s claim that he was not aware that he needed to have his driver’s license on him seems dubious since another officer pulled him over in Davie on March 18 for driving a Rolls-Royce with improper tags. The license plates on the car were for a Lamborghini, not a Rolls.
“I’ve got a lot of cars, fam,” Smith told the officer. “I probably switched the tag on the cars.”
The officer cited Geno Smith for the improper license plate and, again, for “driver’s license not carried/exhibit on demand.”
In June, police responded to a call at Geno Smith’s home in Florida over an alleged battery following accusations from a woman on social media. Police closed the case after an investigation, and an ex-girlfriend came to his defense in an attempt to “kill that narrative.”
