Why do you suspect me of having drugs? I'd like to hear that. >> I don't really have to explain. You don't want to answer any questions. >> Because it's my right to plead the fifth, right? >> A driver stopped by an unmarked police vehicle is quickly accused of possible drug activity despite no observable facts being stated on camera to support that suspicion. The officer expands the stop and threatens to deploy a K9 unit unless the driver rolls up his windows. What follows becomes a direct confrontation over fourth amendment protections, police authority, and whether the detention ever had a lawful basis. >> Actually, if you're not putting your windows up, I'm going to let my dog scratch your car. >> The windows aren't up, you know what I mean? I can do it. >> I don't want to scratch your car then that's going to suck. >> It's going to suck any more in this power trip I'm going through.

Although drugs and a canine unit were repeatedly referenced, no specific facts supporting that suspicion were articulated on camera. The driver also invoked his Fifth Amendment right to decline questioning, which alone cannot justify further detention under the Constitution.
