In short:
Sam Kerr has taken to the stand to give evidence and be cross-examined in her trial on a charge of racially aggravated harassment against a police officer.
She told the court she called policeman Stephen Lovell "stupid and white" because she felt she was being treated differently because of her skin colour, but didn't mean to harass him.
What's next?
Sam Kerr's cross-examination is expected to continue on Thursday when the trial resumes.
The driver then phoned police, who advised him to drive the pair to the nearest police station — something Ms Kerr said she wasn't told at the time.
In the video, both Ms Kerr and Ms Mewis tell officers they repeatedly begged to be let out of the taxi but weren't allowed by the driver.
Both claim they were being held against their will and were scared for their lives.
Ms Mewis said she broke the window because she was scared before Ms Kerr crawled out through it.
"Let's be clear about this — do you still believe that the taxi driver was kidnapping you?"
"Yes."
