On November the 17th, 2024, an afternoon traffic stop quickly turns into a tense roadside confrontation after deputies pull over a truck for allegedly crossing the center line and driving on a suspended license. What begins as a routine stop escalates into arguments over seat belt violations, marijuana odor, probable cause, and identity refusal. As emotions rise, deputies search the vehicle, question both occupants, and eventually place one man in handcuffs after he repeatedly refuses to identify himself. Throughout the stop, both sides clash over legality, respect, and whether the officer's actions were justified. >> Look, can you roll down this back window for me? Hi. I'm down with the sheriff's office. Got body cars recording. Uh, the reason I stopped is because you crossed the center line and you're suspended. >> I I did what? >> You crossed the center line on the bridge. I crossed the center line on the road for you. >> You know, like that white line in the middle of the road and you're supposed to stay on one side or the other of it. You're like driving over the line. >> Oh, what do you mean? I put my turn signal on to get over into this lane because I was going to go to the gas station. >> Well, that would have been later on. >> No, I put my turn signal on.

What's the difference between the sheriff and the and the regular? >> What do you mean? >> Like what's the difference? Like the sheriff and the regular driver >> like CPD? >> Yeah. >> So we we patrolled the entire county. >> Before I used to have I had a hat track before and it was like a divers like that, but it had like four doors or whatever. But when I was looking at like this Chevy Spark, it looked like it's like an electric car, but it's like so good on gas. So I think it was ugly and the hatchback was so ugly too. I did not like it. But it was great on gas and so was the other other Nissan they had too. It was real though. >> Okay. So you got to hear your name cuz you're not properly wearing your seat belt when I walked out. >> I was wearing my seat belt. I had my arm on. I didn't even take it off. I had my arm. >> It's underneath your arm. >> No, it was not underneath my arm. I should My arm was on top of it. >> Yeah. So was your arm? >> No, it wasn't underneath. >> Okay.

But if I walk up and you're sitting like that with it not properly secure >> secure, >> then I can only assume that it was the same way when you're on the the highway, right? >> Properly secure. >> And then also you're sitting next to weed, a grinder, a bunch of syringes, things like that. I have my drug. >> I have my medical card. >> I just saw the bag in there, but it was in that box. It wasn't even out and about. It was a big deal. So, even if you have to bring it somewhere, I thought that it be a little bit of weed in the in the grinder. No matter the amount you can still be convicted of illegal transportation because you're supposed to when I was a medical person I'm allowed to hold at least 2 and 12 >> not open >> even if it's like put away I thought it was like or like in a lock box >> not opening the vehicle >> there was so you're not supposed to have >> yes I understand that but I don't think there was any in the grinder >> except for like >> so the reason why he so the reason why he was able to look through your car for probable cause is because of the smell of unburn burn marijuana. >> Well, I just I think that that's [ __ ] But I mean, >> so that's that's how that's how it is. >> Listen, if it was if it was the other way around, then no. >> Yes, I understand.

It's probably on camera. >> I didn't swerve over the line. And I put my turn signal in to get into this lane cuz I was going to come to this gas station. >> Stop you whenever >> I was going to come to this gas station to upload the cash that I had deposited into my uh my account. >> You guys can continue to argue everything. My supervisor on the way. It's going to take >> I know. I'm not arguing. I'm just saying that I know I didn't. Huh. >> Who do you want to tow your vehicle? >> My grandpa can just drive it. >> No, it's getting towed cuz it's like the 18th time you've been stopped driving. >> My grandma's truck and she needs it because my uncle's been using my grandpa's truck and so do you want me to do a tow by rotation? Well, can my grandparents take it? Because it's his truck. >> It's getting to >> It's their truck, too. >> It's registered in your name. We've been over this last time when I tried to seize it off of you and we towed it then. Remember, >> there was literally nothing in the vehicle. There is nothing.

You about 3 seconds. >> Drive it because it's because it's not her name is on the trip, too. >> That is literally ridiculous. He just drove all the way here to do it. They let they let him do it before. All right, just got to hang back. >> Literally, that's why he just drove all the way here and then just smiling about it like like >> I just literally like I was trying to pay my bills.

Go to being harassed and that's what I'm fighting for. I'm literally being harassed. >> So So listen nothing. So this is so you made up this stuff because >> she has been stopped so many times driving suspended. So >> sheriff's office knows who she is knows that she's driving suspended. >> No, there is literally that. >> So she's even said it herself. I don't even know how many times I've been stopped driving. >> Yes, that is not. >> So that is the reason why the to the truck is being towed. >> Okay. >> Okay. Yeah. And then literally it's my my grandma's name is on the truck too and she needs a truck because my grandpa my uncle has been using my grandpa's truck for work and so they need that vehicle that it's like a vehicle that they >> Okay. Okay. So the one you know you know you're driving suspended you know listen you know you're driving suspended. Why would you take why would you take that risk? >> She didn't know. She didn't know >> why would you take that risk? >> Huh? >> Why would you take that risk? >> I had to pay my bills and I'm a single mom that had to get my bills paid. was the last day that I had to pay it and I had to get to upload it so I could pay money towards >> There's other there's other ways to do that kind of stuff. >> Yeah, there's not other ways whenever you have >> you can't you can't you can't call an Uber. >> No, I don't because I had exactly the amount that I needed that is due today by 5:00 p.m. >> So you can't call an Uber to take you to the bank and and deposit your money and then pay. >> No, I get another Uber to take you back home since you've already got money and you need your account only like $2 extra on top of what what I had to pay my to be quite honest.

So like they didn't they didn't know and it's their vehicle too. >> I don't understand why whenever he just drove all the way to town why he can't drive the vehicle like his wife's name was on it. That's why he came to get it because he needs to use it. So that's like not really fair to him. He didn't know that I was driving. Okay.
