Police Traffic Stop Incident

That's probably the cause to pull you over, right?

Okay.

Just 'cause you-

Whoa, whoa.

Okay.

That's way... Whoa. Are you serious?

And then lace your fingers on the back of your head.

We've got code red cover incoming.

Hey, what's up? How's it going?

Hey, how you doing?

Good. Hey, um, I'm stopping you 'cause you got no front

plate and your window

tint's too dark.

Uh, I actually got a fix-it ticket for this

one.

Did you?

Uh, it was two weeks ago. I got stopped on Arden right there by

Hostess-

Can you roll down that window for your partner please?

Okay.

Thank you. So you got a, you got a ticket for the,

the tints already?

Yeah.

Okay.

And I did-

Roll down

... I did. Hey, how you doing?

Roll down, roll it all the way down.

Do I got to?

Because I just told you to.

No, I'm saying I got it, right. I got that up.

For my safety and yours.

And for my safety also. This is all being audio recorded by the way

too.

Okay, that's fine.

Yeah.

It's his right here too.

Okay.

Okay, so you got a fix-it ticket for the window

tint.

I got a, uh, fix-it ticket for that too also.

And the front plate.

And which is not due until, uh, I don't know. I got to take that down, so.

Okay. All right.

Yeah.

You have your driver's license on you, sir?

Uh, yeah. It's in my backpack in the back.

Okay. Here, I'll just take your name and birthday.

All right.

What's your name, sir?

Uh, Rudy. R-U-D-Y.

What is it?

R-U-D-Y.

R-U-D-Y.

Uh.

And what's your birthday?

6/14/95.

And just to make sure, I got the last name spelled right.

All right.

You have a valid driver's license, correct?

Yeah.

Okay.

Everything, insurance good, registered.

Okay.

All that, so.

Probation, parole, anything like that?

No.

Nothing? Okay. And you're the registered owner of the

car?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right. Sit tight for me, okay? I'll be right back.

All

right. Say you said for your safety?

Yeah, for my safety.

Yeah.

And I want you to keep your hands in my, in your lap for my safety, okay?

Yeah, no problem.

I'm sorry?

I said, "No problem."

Feels like I'm back in Nazi Germany or something,

the way you people get treated

like this, you know?

Do you know your history?

I do.

Okay. So you understand what I'm saying?

No, I don't.

You don't understand-

I don't

... Nazi Germany?

I don't see the correlation.

Okay.

We were hailed by a citizen regarding your car. Why would a citizen have hailed us?

For my car?

Yeah.

Uh, I mean, whatever y'all got going on, you feel me?

I don't know nothing about that.

We were doing something completely else.

Oh.

And somebody took time out of their day to come over and flag us down regarding

you.

Why would they do that?

Re- regarding me?

Regarding you and your vehicle.

No. That's, that's false.

Any weapons in the vehicle?

Uh, yeah.

What kind of weapon?

It's, it's a registered firearm in my name.

Okay.

Yeah. Smith & Wesson.

This is also, you know, got the business under my name too, so.

Okay. Just go ahead and keep your hands on the steering wheel

for me.

Yeah.

Do you know this person right here?

No.

He says there's a Smith & Wesson in the vehicle registered to him.

Okay. Yeah, he just, uh, just RTM.

Okay.

All right.

Information flowing.

Uh, I didn't get that far.

Okay.

He, he came back. He says he's not. Where, where's it at?

It's in the trunk.

It's in the trunk?

Yeah.

Okay.

You good with him for a second?

Can I talk to you for one second? Just keep your hands on the wheel, okay?

We don't think there's a firearm in the vehicle.

So, uh, we're trying to work through that

right now. We basically got the trunk.

We've been, we've been holding him until we make sure

that he doesn't have any

weapons. He's just sitting there, everything's cool.

He's super nervous and super telling me

that we're in Nazi Germany and just

reporting himself online and all sorts of stuff,

so I'm just a little concerned

that he was so nervous, and now he's telling me there's a firearm

in the vehicle.

Yeah. He was trying to slip away from me

when I told him to sit

there.

No, I didn't-

That's why I got concerned.

Okay.

Um, I don't know if you want to finish running

him or not, but I, I feel like we

have enough for a Terry pat search of the vehicle.

That would make me a little more comfortable standing up here

and knowing that-

Yep

... I don't know where the gun actually is.

Okay.

Okay, perfect.

All right, sir. Hey.

Yeah.

Just 'cause you got a firearm in the car, okay, we're just gonna do this the safe

way. Okay? So

what I need you to do, can you undo your seatbelt for me?

Uh, can I call a supervisor please?

What?

I would like a supervisor.

Well, no, you can talk to him afterwards.

Sir, I would like a supervisor here.

We're, we're gonna talk to him afterwards.

I, I need-

But now you need to do what I tell you to do

... Well, can you call him on your radio?

Huh?

Can you call him on your radio?

No.

He's not trying to call-

Hey

... his supervisor on the radio.

Listen. I'm ju- We're-

Okay. I, I'm a citizen too, bro.

Okay.

It's like, and you-

Hey

... and you work for public and safety. You, you're doing your job.

Hey.

What, what's your, what's your cause of-

Hey, hey. Calm, calm down. Calm down

... what's your cause, what's your cause of stopping me

is what I wanna know.

You didn't even give me a cause.

Hey.

You said for your tint. I told you I got a ticket.

That's probably the cause to pull you over, right?

Okay.

Just 'cause you-

Whoa, whoa.

Okay.

That's way-

And then lace your fingers-

Whoa. Are you serious?

... on the back of your head.

We've got code red cover incoming.

Whoa.

Okay. Undo your seatbelt with your right hand.

Oh, wow.

We're not gonna play this game, sir.

Hey, it's all good.

Stand on up.

It's all good.

Lean forward towards the seat.

Wait, this way?

Sorry, sorry. Towards the steering wheel. Come on. Step out for me.

Yep.

All right. Do not move. Got it? Hop out.

Head start.

Wow.

Yeah, we're just trying to do this low-key.

Yeah, low-key, putting the gun to my head.

Hey.

Put a gun-

Keep your hands where I can see them

... you wanna put the gun to my head, right?

That's crazy.

Yep.

Do not resist.

I'm not resisting.

Do not resist.

Wow.

Why am I being detained?

Sir, I'll detain you in handcuffs if you do.

Sir, I pulled you over, okay?

I'll let you out of your seatbelt first.

You're nervous. All right? Then you tell us there's a gun in your

car.

I ask you to just cooperate with me, get out of the car, okay?

So I can check and make sure that the, that it's not there.

And this is exactly, and this is exactly why I want a supervisor here.

Okay.

But you do like this.

We'll establish that right now, okay?

She pulling the gun to my head.

We're all recording you. We are all recording you.

She pulling the gun to my head.

Next to you
