What is that? >> On a rainy day in Arizona, a sheriff's deputy made a routine traffic stop on a BMW X6 on Interstate 40. But the twisted stories from the two men will lead to the deputy turning to his canine Kilo to search for the truth. >> Kilo, relax. Hey, how are you guys doing? Deputy Austeg Navajo County Sheriff's Office. Couple reasons for the stop today, okay? One is going to be your front tint. It's too dark. It looks way too dark, all right? You got to have it plus or minus 33% and it looks like your back is the same as your front, okay? Second is when I was behind you there, you started to merge to the right lane in front of that semi-truck, but before you had actually started signaling, you started making that lane change, okay? We just want to make sure we signal before our lane change, all right? It's a safety thing, that way the semi-truck knows what you're doing. I ain't going to give you a ticket, just a written warning, all right? You guys Yeah, no problem, man. You got your driver's license handy? Do you have any identification on you, man? Do you have a passport or Yeah. Okay, gracias. And then, so I'm going to fill out a written warning, okay? If you wouldn't mind stepping out, we'll go back to my truck, I'll cut you the warning, we'll get you on your way, okay? All right, is there any pistolas, any nothing? No? No, you're all right, man. Go ahead and step out. We're going to go back to my truck, okay? All right, you come out. Yeah. Yeah, you're good. >> Hey, you're all right, man. No, you can come over here. I don't want you getting hit if someone rear ends me. You know what I mean? Do you have any what like nothing on you? No guns or anything? Okay, you're good. All right, you can come right here, buddy. No, like over here so I can talk to you. Where you heading to? Where you heading to? Like where you driving to? >> To California. >> Oh, you're going to California? Okay. Where are you coming from? >> I'm I'm coming to California. >> You're going to California? Okay. Where Where are you doing in Arizona? >> Right here with my friend. >> Oh, you're in Winslow? >> By separating the two men, the deputy is able to ask questions of the driver. Pay attention to the answers. He will later ask the same questions of the passenger. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah, I follow him. >> Oh, I got you. You're going to his house? Oh, right. How long have you known him? >> Uh 2 years. >> Okay. 2 and 1/2 years? Oh, that's all right, man. So, you said you were following your friend to his house. Do you know what city he lives in? Winslow? He said he lives in Winslow? Like off the interstate right here? Oh, okay. I got you. Winslow's over there, yeah. Yeah. No, you're good, man. So, who's that in the car with you? Okay. And what's his name? Okay. >> [snorts] >> What's his last name? I don't know. You don't know? >> No, I don't know. All right, man. One thing I do want to do is I want to check the VIN number. Make sure the VIN number on my return matches the vehicle, okay? Just to make sure it's not stolen or anything like that. Yeah, would it be okay with you if I open your driver's side door so I can look at the sticker? Oh, you can wait here, okay? >> Oh, okay. Okay. >> So, I'll give your buddy's passport back. I'll check that. I'll be right back with you, okay? >> Right here? >> Yeah, you can just wait right here. >> As the deputy checks the VIN number, he will now also be able to talk to the passenger by himself. >> Como estas, dude? >> Muy bien. >> Uh, que es home to hombre? >> Los amigos. >> Okay. Uh, how long have you known him? >> Uh, in mostly English? >> Okay. Un momento, por favor. >> The deputy now uses a language app on his phone to communicate with the passenger. >> How long have you known him? >> Oh, yeah. I think I can do it como uno Aqui. Lo conozco como de uno o dos años. >> Since you were 12 years old? >> Mas o menos? >> Uh, for 12 years or since you were 12 years old? >> No. >> No? >> No. >> How long? Cuanto tiempo? >> Oh, como dos años. >> Dos años? >> Si, este tiempo que lo conozco. >> Where are you guys heading to? Que si udad? >> Oh, a Los Angeles. >> Los Angeles? >> Yeah. >> Uh, Okay.

Thank you, man. >> With the two men telling different stories, the deputy will dig deeper to find the truth. >> All right. You want to come back over here, man? We'll keep knocking out this warning. So, I do have some additional questions for you, okay? In addition to traffic control, another thing that I do out here is criminal interdiction, okay? And when I say criminal interdiction, I mean the stoppage of illegal crimes going down the interstate, all right? So, I'm going to ask you some questions. Don't take them personal. I ask most everyone I come in contact with these questions, okay? Is there anything illegal in that car? >> No. >> No? Okay. Is there any large sums of money over 10,000 US dollars? No? Okay.

Having said that, would you give voluntary consent to have me search the vehicle to make sure that none of those items are in there? >> You check? >> Would you give me consent? >> I'm sorry. >> Uno momento. Would you give me voluntary consent to search the vehicle to check for those items? >> While the driver gave verbal consent to search, when he read the consent form in Spanish, he refused. >> Tu comprende? >> Do you want to sign or no? >> No, I don't want to sign. >> Okay. All right. No, that's okay, man. 1915. I have a consent refusal. I've got 2118 on scene with me. I'm going to be using that K9. >> Yeah, you said you need check all my car, right? >> Right. >> You said in the paper, right? >> Right. Okay. All right.

Two window up. Can you roll the window up? >> Ah, okay. >> No pistolas or anything? No? Can you Okay. Let's stop being All right. You want to hang out with them? >> The deputy will now use his canine named Kilo to conduct what's called an open-air sniff by walking around the outside of the vehicle. Under Arizona law, if the dog alerts to the smell of narcotics in the vehicle, the deputy will then have probable cause to conduct a search. >> So, let's start. Check. No. Hey, check it. Check it. Kilo, check it. You're not doing what I'm asking you. Hey. Sit in the >> Kilo is not properly searching, so the deputy, a certified handler, resets him to get him focused. >> Drug it. What is that?
