education. >> How we doing? >> How are you? >> Good. Driver's license registration. Pro insurance. Also, ma'am, the reason why I pulled you over is you weren't wearing your seat belt. You put it on. Driver's license registration on you or you have your license on you. >> Okay. Can we see it, please? >> No. >> I'm sorry. That's all right. I forgot. >> Let me roll. >> I don't have my phone with me. I can give you my name. >> Your phone's on your hand. >> This is not my >> All right. Do me a favor. Unbuckle your seat belt. Go ahead and step out for me. >> What were you guys doing? Movement in the middle. You guys are doing further movements in the middle. Go ahead and unbuckle your seat belts. Go ahead and step out of the vehicle. >> Why do you No. Why are you asking me out? >> Because I'm stand telling you to step out. Come on. >> You're shaking. Get off the phone. Come on. Step out. >> It doesn't matter if >> I'm asking you to go ahead and step out for me. >> No, you aren't me. No. >> Go ahead and buckle your seat belt and step out. >> I'm recording. >> That's fine. Come on. >> And I do not want to be touched. >> Yeah, she she was messing the middle console. Both of them were. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> All right. >> No, this is >> Where's your ma'am? Where's your ID? >> I told you I left my phone. Oh, wait. I got it on my phone. >> I spilled soda on my phone. >> No problem. No problem. >> That's uh Linquist, right? >> Lis. >> You'll have to get his identification. >> You're from Naples? >> Yes. Original. >> Let me Yes. So, listen. What it is, you weren't wearing a seat belt. At least you're warned. I'm not going to even sight you. Okay. >> Okay. >> So, um, that's it. So, just relax. You see, >> and I'm not No, I was I shake. That's the way I am. >> And you guys came to be honest, you came at the car like aggressive, right? And I don't understand why over a seat belt. It was very, very aggressive. >> So, so that the reason why I pulled you over is you have no seat belt. Okay. Also, this vehicle uh I got to check, but um was probably more likely some type of retail theft. So, we'll we'll talk about that a little bit later. >> What began as a routine seat belt stop has now taken a very different turn. The officer says this vehicle may have been connected to a retail theft the previous day, but that distinction matters. A car appearing at the scene of a crime does not automatically prove that its owner committed the crime, knew about it, or even understood what another passenger may have done. At this point, the officers appear to have a photograph linking the vehicle to Walmart, but the audience has not yet seen the full surveillance footage, the suspected thief, or evidence showing what the driver knew. That missing context is critical. Still, the woman's nervous behavior, the movements around the center console and her uncertainty about who had been driving the car are clearly raising suspicion. The real question is whether the officers are simply investigating a reasonable lead or whether they have already decided she is involved before establishing exactly what happened. >> Does this belong to you? >> Yeah, this is my car and I wasn't involved in a retail. >> Okay. Well, like I said, we'll talk about that later, but I pulled you over cuz you weren't wearing seat belts. So, I'll deal with that and then we'll go from there. Okay. >> Um >> Rodrigo, can we start working on our on our warning? Hey, ma'am. >> Stay right here. Let's get real warning. >> Why did y'all do that? >> Why? >> I'm like so like >> Were you here? You were here. You were here yesterday. >> No, I wasn't here yesterday. >> You weren't here yesterday. >> Your car was >> Your car was >> Oh, at Walmart? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You know what this is about? >> Who Who was driving your car yesterday? >> I'm not sure. >> Okay. If I show you a picture, can you tell me who he is? >> Absolutely not. I'm not. No. >> No. Okay. >> Look, I'm not No offense, but I'm not a police officer. >> Okay. Okay. >> You know what I mean? >> And this is your car? >> Yeah, this is my car. >> So, it was used in a crime yesterday. >> No, my car was not used in a crime. That is for sure. >> What happened? >> I'll show you. >> 100%. >> Hang on. Hang on. to prove to you >> the crime. >> That's your car, right? >> Y'all are harassing me. >> No, I'm not harassing you, man. >> What does that prove? >> Okay. What that proves is that that car, the picture of that car was taken by the manager at Walmart when an individual that was shoplifting got in it to leave. >> Someone that was shoplifting got in my car leaving Walmart. Absolutely not true. Do you have video from Walmart proving that? No. No. Because I was present in my car when this car left Walmart and there was no one that shoplifted in my car. >> No. >> Yeah. >> He was not in my car when we left. >> Okay. Well, >> I'm telling you he wasn't. >> Oh, if that's if that's the if that's what you're thinking to our investigation shows different. >> Okay. >> All right. So, here's the thing. >> I I have been as honest with you as I can be. Okay. >> It's your choice if you want to reciprocate or not. >> I telling you, no one bought it yesterday. >> So, I'm confident she says I know for a fact. >> So, the So, the folks at Walmart are just in the habit of playing random cars. Why did they take a picture of the guy in the random? >> Where's that picture? >> Where's the video surveillance footage? I mean, obviously you got something to hide. So I mean I mean you know who the guy is. I mean it's >> it it's >> I told you I'm not a police officer. It's not my job to look at stuff like that and help you. I have right to say no. You can ask. You have the right, but if you come to my county and you commit crimes here, this is going to happen every single time. >> I don't commit crimes >> and and we're going to know when you're here. Okay. >> I don't commit crimes. >> Well, obviously this vehicle, like I said, there's video surveillance footage of that individual going into Walmart. >> And like you said, it's not your job to help us identify the person, but obviously he used your vehicle or was in your vehicle. >> No, he did not use my vehicle. This is my car. Danielle, is this your current address in Naples or you don't live there anymore? >> That is what you call a safe address. >> Safe address. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, it's a good address. >> Yes. >> Okay. Daniel, do you have the registration on the vehicle? >> Thank you, ma'am. >> All right. I appreciate it. >> Insurance? >> Uh, no. I'm I'm good. >> All right. Thanks. Just step back there. I'm just going to close the door. All right, >> I'll be right done with this. Okay. Uh, >> this little buddy's got a dollar in there. Want to stay with her? >> Yeah. >> Do me a favor. Go ahead and step over here. They're going to run the dog around your car. >> This is the moment the traffic stop becomes a drug investigation. Officers move the occupants away from the vehicle and bring in a canine, but the footage leaves out one important detail. We do not clearly hear whether the dog actually alerted, where it alerted, or what specific behavior justified the search that followed. That matters because suspicion is not the same thing as evidence. The vehicle had reportedly been linked to a previous shoplifting case, and officers had observed both occupants reaching toward the center console. Those facts may explain why they were cautious, but they do not automatically prove that drugs were inside the car. There is also a timing question. Was the original seat belt investigation still underway, or was the stop extended to wait for the canine? Without the complete, unedited timeline and police reports, viewers should be careful about reaching a legal conclusion. What is clear, however, is that once the dog was deployed, this encounter was no longer about a warning for a seat belt. >> All right. All right. Right here again. >> Yeah. Watch her. So, do you usually let people borrow your car or is it always just you driving? >> No, Noah was borrowing my car yesterday. I was sick yesterday. No one. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Go ahead and see my guys. There's a dog in there. Yeah. Don't remove anything else. He'd be the guy to talk to white now with beard wearing a yellow vest. He was heading westbound towards Lake. Yeah, man. Just stay over here. Shouldn't wait till they're done. That's done. >> 10:15 10:15 All right, ma'am. Go ahead. Do put your hands behind your back. What am I being arrested for? They found something. >> This is where the situation becomes dangerous in seconds. The officers say they found something and order her hands behind her back. Instead of immediately complying, she repeatedly reaches toward her clothing while several officers struggle to control her. From her perspective, the arrest appears sudden, frightening, and physically overwhelming. From the officer's perspective, they cannot see what she is reaching for. Later, they report finding a pocketk knife in her right pocket and say she had been reaching toward a bag of suspected drugs concealed near her crotch. That later discovery explains their fear, but it does not mean every movement or every use of force should escape scrutiny. The critical question is proportionality. Officers are permitted to respond to a perceived threat, especially when a person reaches toward an unknown hard object. But once the person is restrained and the threat is controlled, continued force must still be justified. The body camera footage shows the chaos. A complete judgment would require medical records, reports, and every available camera angle. >> She's reaching. She's reaching. Stop. Stop. Stop [ __ ] reaching. >> STOP REACHING. SHE'S REACHING for something. Stop. She's reaching. [screaming] OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. >> GOT IT. GOT IT. GIVE HER [screaming] >> IT. WE GOT IT. >> MA'AM.
