During my years with the LAPD, I have conducted plenty of traffic stops involving drivers under the influence, but nothing could have prepared me for what this stop is about to uncover. >> What's going on? >> Who are you and what do you want? >> Hey, I'm Deputy Nail with the Rabun County Sheriff's Office. Uh you're driving around without your headlights and tail lights on. >> Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I had no clue. >> Uh is that like a rental vehicle or something? Okay. >> that. >> Where are you coming from? I see the Massachusetts tag. >> Uh I'm from Sevier County. My aunt lives in uh Anderson. >> Okay. >> Well, Anderson County, so I guess Melton is where they live. >> All right. >> Yeah, just came down to see my cousins and see everybody for >> All right. You got your driver's license for me? All right. Tennessee. Weird, I've never actually seen one like that before. >> Yeah, it's the new real IDs for for Tennessee. >> Tennessee? Okay. >> the regular ones are all white. Stuff, yeah. >> All right. Well, I'll be back in a second. Hey Bosman, do you have the rental agreement for this car? >> Um yes. It's probably in the bag. It's probably in the I was cleaning this car out the other day. It's probably in the bag. >> Okay. Do you mind hopping out trying to grab it for me? Did you rent it under your name? >> Um no. >> Somebody else rented it for you? Okay. >> Okay, hold the phone for a second. Have you seen other videos, right? When there's traffic stops where they ask for the rental agreement and for whatever reason, you just can't find it. You know what? That should kind of raise your suspicion. >> He's just wanting the rental agreement. >> Are there any firearms in any of the bags? >> No. >> Okay, go ahead. >> No weapons, no nothing at all. So, I was just cleaning this out to return it the other day and I came >> How long have you had it? >> Um, week and a half now. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Are you on the phone with the person that rented it? >> No, no, sir. >> Okay. >> You want me to call him though? >> Well, I mean I was just wondering if you were on the phone with somebody. I didn't know if that was the person that rented it or not. >> No, yeah. My email? No, that's No, I It's his brother though. Um >> Okay. >> Let me um let me see if I can get all of this act even though I don't know what the hell Zack you're going to have a copy of it. So I'm going to get a hold of the person but he ain't going to cut >> Let me try that. >> I mean it's Okay. All right. Let me uh let me call Zack. I'll give you a call back. >> All right, before you call Zack do me a favor. Let me see your phone for a second. I'm going to set your phone down right here. Put your hands behind your back for me. >> All right. No. >> You got outstanding warrant for your arrest. >> Okay, so core four suspect in custody we affecting arrest. I want to point out a couple of things. First of all, get off the phone, man. Have some command presence, right? Command and control the situation where you know what, put the phone down. And here's the deal, when you are running that driver's license for wants and warrants and if it hits and it comes back with a warrant you know what, approach the driver, have him exit the vehicle and the minute he gets out, cuff him up as fast as you can. The fact that he's walking around to the back, looking at his duffel bags and then gets back in his car, reaches in, all those movements, you know what, that's very tactically unsafe. You don't know what you're getting yourself into in a traffic stop. And I said this in the past, traffic stops are the most inherently dangerous situations you could ever face, okay? >> When was the last time you checked in with your probation? >> Um I filed my my thing just the beginning of March. >> Uh what state are you on probation in? >> Tennessee? >> Tennessee. >> All right. Hold on 1 second. Since you're in handcuffs, okay, you're detained till we can 100% confirm this warrant and everything, okay? Since you are in handcuffs, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have a lawyer present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning, if you wish. You can stop anytime to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand these rights? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, you said you're on probation. Are you willing to talk to me without a lawyer? >> No, actually. I don't know what's going on. >> So, you don't want to talk to me? >> If you Yeah, if you don't mind. >> I wouldn't want to say anything, either. You know, this is a practice that happens a lot out of state. I can only speak for my beloved LAPD, and the last time I checked, we don't give Miranda warnings right there and then at scene. We always wait until we go to the station, uh report to the watch commander, let them know what we have, right? Uh write up the arrest report, and then, if at some point you want to go ahead and give the Miranda warnings to see if they're going to talk, that's when you do that, then. Now, I'm not saying that the practice is good or bad. All I'm saying is is that when you do give the Miranda warnings, I just don't know how cooperative you want to be about the fact that you just got arrested, considering he had a warrant. I mean, what is he going to say? Well, I didn't know I had a warrant. So, just think about the fact that it doesn't necessarily have to happen at scene, okay? >> Okay. That's fine. >> It's kind of wild. >> All right. Go ahead and have a have a seat in the back of your car till we get through. I have not searched you. >> What do you >> Just get in the back. All right. We're going to go to this back door. I'm going to pat you down real quick. Do you have anything in your pockets that's going to stick, poke, or prod me? No needles, no knives, nothing like that? >> I might have a knife. I don't think so, though. >> All right. That feels like paperwork or money. All right. So, we're just going to figure out what's going on with this warrant. When I ran your driver's driver's license, you came back. Go ahead and just have it I'm just shining the light so you don't smash your head. All right, yeah. When I ran your driver's license, you came back as wanted for probation violation. Um said that you were on probation for sale of marijuana. So, we're just going to try to figure out what's going on with that. All right. So, just watch your knee. Make sure your knee ain't sticking out so I don't hit it with this door. All right. So, dispatch said it was for probation violation for sale of marijuana and it was full extradition. Which seems knowing probation violations aren't full extradition, but Well, >> now that you say that, like I I thought I kept catching small hints of marijuana coming from the car. Do you have a lot of hopes that you're I'm going to pull the my car over here. I'm going to run the balls. >> Yeah. Our dispatch said and and again, like you're voluntarily speaking to me without a lawyer. Yeah, okay. So, from what our dispatch >> has relayed so far, >> it's showing that you were on probation for vio- for sale of marijuana and that you're in violation of that probation and that you have an outstanding warrant. So, we're just trying to confirm all of that. Like I said, you're not under Right now, you're just being detained until we figure all this out. So. >> What's going on? >> Lockdown canine alert positive. >> Um so, third-party rental. Doesn't know who rented it. Can't come up with the rental agreement. Opened up the center console. There's a blue bank bag in the center console. Huge. Said he opened it, so I shoved it back down. Went to the back to look for a bank bag. There's two square duffel bags sitting in the back seat or in the back. >> No, put them up. We're going to get We're going to get real ones. >> He opened it up. Also, in one of the duffel bags that he did open up, another large blue bank bag. He's He's probation for sales. >> These are both his other phones. The blue one is the one he's actively using. The one in the case was found in my left upper burner. >> All right. >> He claims it's all of his stuff between the phones. >> Are all car they all they all have his name on them? All right. If that's the case, I would take and I If they're all his, go ahead and put them back in the vehicle. Is that an ID or what is that right there? Is that a VA card? >> Yeah, he's got a lot of Navy Federal stuff. >> All right. >> Come go right here back in my car right here, okay? Would you be willing to do some tests with me just to make sure you're okay and everything like that? Just run you through run you through a field a decent sobriety test. Completely up to you. You're just a painter, okay? Go ahead and now. Can you get a >> Okay, so now we're moving into part two. We went from this minor infraction of the traffic stop, right? He was driving without his headlights on. And next thing you know, he has a warrant, you smell marijuana coming from the car, and now we're going to conduct that uh field sobriety test that I spoken about in the past, but it seems as though that there might be more to the story. >> So, just kind of give you a background on me, okay? I'm not just a a deputy or a PD, I'm a trooper, Georgia State Patrol. I'm also a drug recognition expert, so I have a little bit of prior background than this Joe Blow on the side of the road, okay? So, I do I go a little bit in the in part of detail to see if there's any drug impairment or anything like that or any alcohol impairment. But not just alcohol impairment, I look for drugs too, okay? Like drug impairment stuff like that. That's part of That's part of what I'm I'm certified in, okay? It's as drug recognition expert. I'm certified and do tests. Possibly just by just just just by interaction like that, okay? Suspected. I'm I'm just suspecting. I don't I'm not confirming. The only way to confirm it is by doing tests, okay? So, that's just why I asked you is is completely voluntary up to you whether or not it's the proof whether it's the proof to me whether or not you are impaired or you're not impaired, okay? Based on the test. If we don't do the test, all I have to go off of is is basically what I see. So, that's that's that's that it gives you the benefit of the doubt if you do the test, but I can't make you Okay. Um but it gives me a idea whether or not you're impaired or you're not impaired, >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. So, I'm going to take these cuffs off of you. We're going to We're going to run through some field sobriety tests and I'm going to do some additional tests on you, okay? Yeah, it's it's field sobriety tests and there's some other tests that I'm certified with as a DRE as a DRE expert, okay? You don't have to do this. >> Okay, now if you're wondering how does a trooper, deputy, or a police officer become a drug recognition expert, certified that is, in this school, you're going to learn a lot a lot of rules and laws and ordinances as it relates to drug related offenses. And you're going to be conducting evaluations. So, you're actually going to go out in the field, probably go to an area where it's infested with people who are under the influence that is and you're going to conduct a whole bunch of tests. So, it's more than the SFST that is. So, let's see what happens. >> Yeah, watch finger to the nose. >> That's not field sobriety. >> It's not field sobriety. Field sobriety test is walk walk and turn, horizontal gaze nystagmus, and one leg stand. That's field sobriety test, okay? What I'm going to have you do, can you see my finger right here? >> Yeah. >> I want you to stare at my finger right here with your eyes and your eyes on keep your head still. >> You got like a body camera or something? >> It's in It's right there in my car. It's on right now. Yeah, so whenever our lights turn on, the camera turns on. I have an audio mic right here that's recording everything we say. >> My body cam's watching all this too. >> Stare at him my finger and I'm going to trace the outline of your face a couple times. When I'm coming towards you raise your nose not going to touch your nose. Just follow to my finger your eyes your eyes on me. Okay? Now, turn back around for me. You can get out of that position, okay? Put your feet together for me. Arms down by your side. >> Well, first off he's got a warrant for dope. He's going to a a town known for large amount of dope trafficking. >> There was a huge amount of cash. He's uncooperative. >> Um he's told me about He said those bags look his. Is that what he said? >> No. Whenever he Whenever we came up to the car, I asked him I said, "Do you have the rental agreement?" He said, "No." I said, "Who rented it?" "I don't know." "So, you don't know who rented the car?" "No." "How long have you had it?" "Uh roughly a week." I said, "Well, you look see if there's rental agreement." We popped open the center console and that's where that huge bank bag was. Shut it right back. And then came back here and he had those duffel bags like sitting square and he like peeked through one a little bit. I noticed another bank bag and he was like, "Oh, I don't have it." Still can't tell me who he rented the who rented the car. Roughly 9,000 cash and 30 amphetamine pills. >> Warrant from Virginia today by the Marshall Service. >> By the Marshall Service? >> Yeah. He's got federal He's on federal probation. >> The warrant? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> 25 cents check. >> The >> Yeah, they >> It's 430 2319. >> Yeah, and it's it's out of Virginia. Not Tennessee. And it's from the Marshall's office. >> Next thing I'll have you do hold your arms out like this right here. Index fingers only. Keep your index fingers out. Whenever I tell you to you're going to close your eyes. I'll tell you left or right. Your left, your right, okay? You understand everything I showed you? >> Yes, sir. >> All right, close your eyes for me. All right, you can relax. Last thing I'm going to do, I'm going to have you lean up against the bumper. I'm just going to check your pulse. Put your hands behind your back for me, okay? Put you back in cuffs. So, at this time I do believe that you are showing some signs of impairment, okay? Based on all of the tests that I did, based on totality of it. Okay? >> Please I know you don't have to, but you elaborate how. What about >> So, it's based on the totality of everything that I see, okay? Deep reaction. >> Yeah. >> Heart rate. >> Um, yeah, my heart rate has been elevated. >> Timing and perception issues that I see. >> I didn't perceive that. >> Timing and perception issues that I see, as well as during the test there was several there was several clues that I saw during the test that lead me to believe that you're impaired. >> Like what? >> You're at your refusal to submit to your test will be offered in the evidence against you. If we submit to the same chemical test State of Michigan will test your blood. >> Yes, sir. I've already submitted to it. >> Okay. All right, he's going to take you over to his car, okay? >> You know, just want to point out that that's pretty uh standard across uh all states where if you refuse uh blood or urine, then it's an automatic suspension of your driver's license for 1 year. However, you can go to that DMV hearing and plead your case. So, just wanted to point that out. >> We do have We do have some warrants for your arrest as well. Okay? >> Yeah. >> So, that's another thing too while you're in handcuffs, okay? Um >> I mean >> And >> point, it's over. I mean, it's done. I'm just letting you know between me and you, buddy. >> No. >> Okay. >> Not nothing. Not not not a Not a toke of a joint. Not even smoked a cigarette. >> Okay. Well, I mean, you >> I'm going to call BS on that. I mean, they did say that there was some odor of marijuana emitting from your vehicle. So, we don't know that. Look, it's his opinion. You have your opinion. You're being arrested. And by the way, you're really going to start thinking about that US Marshals federal warrant that's out for your arrest. That's way way way more serious than this DUI. >> You have You have rights of your own opinion, okay? And then I have rights of I have everything that I base everything off >> Yes, sir. I mean >> So, I'm not saying that you're lying. I'm not saying that you're telling the truth, but you but I'm just saying you have the right to believe what you want to believe, okay? And I have the right to believe I have the right to believe every the totality everything that I see, okay? >> tonight, Trooper, though. You did. But, it's okay.
