Y'all have no right to go in my truck. >> Just wait a minute. >> Y'all need to explain this to me. Why is she under? Y'all should have detained her. I know my rights. >> Okay, we don't need to explain anything to you. First of all, we don't have to. We don't have to tell you anything. >> I knew everything. >> But you're walking up on a traffic stop. I'm asking you politely. Give us a minute. We'll come talk to you. Okay. >> Y'all should have tang. >> I'm being nice right now, man. I'm just asking you. Just give us a minute. We'll come talk to you. Okay. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you can't walk up on a traffic. stops yelling like that. >> Y'all said the great light was out. Why y'all didn't issue a ticket? She lived right here.

I appreciate it. >> You can legally justify and explain everything cuz I heard everything and I haven't recorded on the phone. >> That's fine. Yeah. We're also recording everything. >> Y'all body came. >> Yeah, we're recording everything. Well, also you might want to get your transmission checked out after this. >> Well, he obviously doesn't know Pennsylvania vims. >> I don't think he does. >> That uh he says that we can order anyone out of a vehicle for officer safety purposes and they don't have the right to refuse. >> All right. What What do you got? >> Uh I have to check. >> Yeah, I'm going to put the scale back cuz we don't have anything to go with it. Yeah, I have to open this and check it. I don't know where it could have been. This is like a bait, bro. Empty thing for a bait. >> For what? It's a traffic stop. For what? You said a break. How is all a sudden you need a license? Good, the insurance good. All say you need to search the car. Stop playing. Stop playing. It's a traffic stop. So, I need them to justify this. And I want to roll back the the body camera, you feel me? And I'mma put the lawyer on the situation. I'm not playing. I work. I'mma drop the money. I'm not playing. Y'all got the wrong one. Y'all should have detained her, which y'all should have did instead of pulling her out. Y'all Y'all don't unlock no and pull her out. Come on. Y'all just violated her right, bro. Know all that means playing with me, bro. tripping. I'm taking a break about this. Taking out my money and our spin. Y'all is tripping, bro. I need y'all to really explain this after y'all search my truck and not find >> Do you want me to explain it to you? >> Give me my keys. >> Do you want me to explain it to you? >> Huh? >> Do you seriously? Do you want me to 1650 >> 1650 Hughes? Okay. She was stopped for traffic violation. She had weed in the car. That gives us the right to search the car. Also, Supreme Court case Pennsylvania vms gives us the right to remove anyone from a vehicle for officer safety purposes. You cannot refuse. if you refuse its obstruction. Okay. So, Supreme Court case says we're allowed to do that. And there was weed in the car. That's why the car is being searched. >> Explain that to her because I heard her asking you and you didn't explain that to her. What y'all >> I wasn't here for the traffic stop. I'm just explaining to you what I was told when I got here by the officers. >> The body camera for the show. They proceeded to unlock the truck instead of explain it to her. Someone who unknownly don't know the law. You hear me? What I was told uh was that she was on the phone with you and they asked her to step out because there was marijuana in the car and you told her on the phone no >> they ain't say nothing about marijuana. They >> they didn't say nothing about >> Well, then she How did they not? Because she handed them the roach. She >> she handed them the blunt that she was smoking. She said they said, "Hey, you got weed in the car." She goes, "Here it is." And handed it to him. So obviously she was aware because she handed them the blunt. >> Okay, this is my thing. Why did they force you to take her out the car? >> Because she refused to get out on her own. because she refused to do that. Yep. That's obstruction. >> So they so they opened the cop and they took her eyes because she refused everything will play back on case law says we're allowed to do that. Pennsylvania vision >> case law says you're allowed to do that and then and by body camera will show everything. >> That's a lawsuit. Y'all do know that, right? >> That's fine, buddy. Do what you need to do. But yes, >> she's going to go for resisting. That's what she's going for. She's giving a civil citation. I'm not done. But you should have just listened. >> Perfect. >> Give me my keys when y'all get done. >> Okay. Well, we'll deal with that when we're done. But we're not done. >> Hurry up. >> You don't make the rules. >> You can wait. You might wait longer now. >> Are you okay back here? >> I don't know why you just didn't open the door. I really I really don't understand that whoever you were talking to gave you the worst advice in the world. >> This would have been it was this would have been a civil citation and that would have given you a warning for the for the tail light. You would have been out of here. >> I was talking to the other officer. I wasn't even listening to him because I know he's not he's not even relevant to >> But you were listening to him. So when when listen when I tried to open your door, you could you almost shut the door on my hand several times to where my partner felt it unsafe for you to no longer sit in that truck cuz we don't know what you were up to. You could have been grabbing a firearm. I didn't know what you were up to. All right. So right now, just so you're aware, you're going to jail for resist. Okay. What's that? Okay. >> Boyfriend's pissed. I just did my best to explain it to him, but I don't think he's still grasping what happened. So, >> what happened? Were you guys here? >> I wasn't, but they told me they pulled her over and she had weed in the car and then he was on the phone with her and they said, "You need to step out cuz there's weed in the car." And he told them told her to absolutely not get out of the car, which then led to them pulling her out of the car. >> Him and her. >> Yeah. >> Just you two of these. [Music] It's on camera. >> It's on camera. Everything is on camera. >> All I was trying to tell you was that you had no right. >> I absolutely had a right to search your vehicle. And I I explained to you why. And you you still acted that way. I don't know why you just didn't exit the vehicle. You You would We would have been done by now. >> You didn't give me the opportunity. Yes, I did, ma'am. >> Try some stuff in violate my >> That's That's not true. I I gave you every opportunity to get out of that car. You >> did not. >> I Okay, I'm not going to argue with you.
