She said, "I saw it. I took it." >> The initial stop is constitutionally valid under Terry versus Ohio 1968. Erratic driving satisfies reasonable suspicion. Pennsylvania versus Mimms 1977 grants officers absolute authority to order any driver out of a vehicle during a lawful stop. The subject invoked her right to counsel at the pre-arrest stage. Under Berkemer versus McCarty 1984, Miranda does not yet apply. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches upon formal criminal proceedings, not during an investigative traffic stop detention. >> Oh, here we go. Hey Patterson. >> She said that I had told him I would make a promise I would give this back. So, he he said he told me he wouldn't press charges. So, yeah. >> That's great. >> There you go.

These are valid travelers. Yeah, don't do that. It doesn't matter. All right. That's obviously her property. Yeah, there's cash and [ __ ] in there. So, I'll get my take all the cash that's there. We'll call Patterson if they know if your force has cash in it. How much cash? This way I know what to remove. But KGA? Who [ __ ] KGA? Name is Ruth. That's definitely her bag. I'm not doubting that. It's based on the contents. Yeah, I got the the wine event. Good? >> Yeah. >> You're taking her bag. Beautiful day to be a police officer. >> I don't know if she's going to go home. >> Right. Right. >> You have to get the You have to go get the other car. >> She has her phone? >> Yeah, okay. >> 213 >> Um yeah, we'll take her out then. We'll try and do it. We'll see what happens.

I'm going to take the handcuffs off for a second, all right? Fix yourself, and then we're going to walk over here. Don't try and run away. I mean, that's probably the worst thing you can do. You understand what I'm telling you? What? I don't know what you're saying, man. Okay, I'm good. All right, you're not doing that because that's going to end bad for you, I promise. All right. Where did you cut yourself with the Band-Aid? >> No, I got my I got checked today to make sure I'm good. >> Okay, okay. All right, stand over here for me, okay? You're good here. Actually, no, come from the sidewalk. This is This is a lot flatter. All right, man. Dave can you just turn off 36's lights? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Appreciate you. All right.

Stand the way you are. Put your feet together, hands at your sides, just like this, all right? You're going to take your left foot, put it on this imaginary line extending between you and I. All right, you're going to take your right foot. Put your foot, heel to toe, directly in front of it. All right? Stay in the way you are. Feet together, hands at your sides. You're going to take nine heel-to-toe steps forward, right? And you're going to count out loud. 1 2 3 Wait, you're not going to start until I tell you to start. So, back up. Left foot on this imaginary line. Right foot in front of it. All right? Stay there. You're going to take nine steps forward like that. You're going to turn around and take nine back. Count it out loud. So, left on the line, right on front. 1 2 Go ahead. Heel to toe. All right, turn around and go back. All right, you're not listening when I tell you heel to toe. You're not listening when I tell you heel to toe. You don't have to worry about trying to look fancy or anything. Just walk heel to toe. All right, ready? Count them out. Go ahead, nine back. All right. Good. Stay in the way you are. Turn around, look at me. Feet together, hands at your side, once again. You're going to pick a foot, any foot, left, right, doesn't matter to me. Right?

I'm going to put these back on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Don't worry. All right, you have an outstanding warrant for your arrest and obviously you're driving a stolen vehicle, right? That's not yours. Okay? That and you told my other my one of my partners that you stole the car when you were at the club. >> No, I didn't say that. >> Were you dancing at the club or you were hanging out at the club? Okay. >> Can you call Can you call my friend my mom >> We'll call her when we get to the police station. Walk in here. So, when at the Do you We just close the door on the other side. Were you dancing at the club or you like just hanging out and having a drink? Just chilling. >> No, I was dancing. >> Okay. Which club was that? >> Sunrise. >> Sunrise? Hold on. Let me grab this. Yeah, you're good. Just hang out there. All right. Yeah, I think she's right. No No HGN or anything like that. She just wanted to try and walk in She did good at heel-to-toe. Whatever. So. We'll take her bag. I'll call Patterson see if there's currency that was in the car to explain why she has all the cash. Probably from working. >> I found her purse anyway. >> Yeah.

She actually did well walk and turn after I said stop trying to walk fancy. >> Okay. >> She did pretty good with the foot up and everything, so she has the uh the outstanding out of Patterson and then the receiving charge. And I'll let Patterson know about the statement she made in the back now. And uh she said she danced in Patterson, so there's no burg. So, I don't know when she got in the car. So, it's not like it came from AJ's or some other place. So, it's just the one charge. Here you go then. All right. So. I saw OWI Patterson, that's why. Mhm? No. No, I'm not doing a 450. No HGN. No way that Um she did actually decent on on everything except the one leg because she was like doing good and she was like forget I'm content with her being whatever. All right, I'm clear from here.

If the guy whose car it is says it's not, you know, that it's not his money, then you'll be leaving with the money. If he says it's his money, then you got to prove it's your money. And he's got to prove it's his money. All right? I I can't hear you when you're talking low. Uh when you go to court, maybe. Yeah, not right now. When you're under arrest, you're under arrest.

All right, 1 2 3 4. Come over here, man. >> Follow my partner. Follow my partner. >> Requesting a Spanish-speaking unit before escalating satisfies equal protection principles under the 14th Amendment. Failure to accommodate a language barrier during detention creates due process exposure and risks a constitutionally defective stop. Once the vehicle linked to a different registered owner probable cause crystallized under New Jersey Statutes Annotated Section 2C:20-7, receiving stolen property requires proof the subject knew or believed the property was stolen, a subjective knowledge element. The subject's spontaneous statement, "He didn't tell me it was stolen," directly addresses that element and carries full evidentiary weight. Under Berkemer, pre-arrest spontaneous statements are admissible without Miranda because they are not the product of custodial interrogation. The vehicle search rests on three independent pillars: search incident to arrest, the automobile exception, and inventory search. Carroll versus United States 1925, probable cause alone authorizes a warrantless search of any vehicle on a public road. California versus Acevedo 1991 extends that authority to containers inside the vehicle where probable cause exists. Colorado versus Bertine 1987, inventory search upon impoundment is lawful only when conducted under standardized departmental policy, not officer discretion. Drug paraphernalia in plain view during a lawful search is seizable under Horton versus California 1990 without an additional warrant. New Jersey Statutes Annotated Section 39:4-50 covers impairment by any narcotic or habit-producing drug, not alcohol alone. The New Jersey Supreme Court in State versus Shapiro 2009 confirmed standardized field sobriety tests are admissible in DUI proceedings. Horizontal gaze nystagmus detects alcohol-linked eye movement. It does not reliably detect marijuana making HGN charging inappropriate here. Marginal walk and turn and one-leg stand performance alone does not establish driving while intoxicated beyond reasonable doubt. Declining to charge DUI where evidence is ambiguous is sound discretion. An unsupported charge creates civil liability and risks full case dismissal. The subject's admission regarding the vehicle keys, if made post-arrest, required Miranda advisement before any questioning under Miranda versus Arizona 1966. The body cam does not capture a formal Miranda advisement following the officer's arrest declaration at the 30-minute mark. This procedural gap exposes any post-arrest statement to suppression under the exclusionary rule, potentially eliminating key evidence at trial. The outstanding warrant arrest under New Jersey Statutes Annotated Section 2C:29-9 requires no additional probable cause beyond warrant confirmation. Grates, Officer 404 receives a B. Valid stop, appropriate DUI discretion, correct inventory procedure. Deduction, Miranda delivery absent from body cam record after formal arrest. Rose Mary Cooperated with testing, did not resist arrest, consistently de-escalates. Deduction, supporting officers receive an A-. Strong coordination and language accommodation. Deduction, speculative commentary on body cam inconsistent with professional standards. Key lessons. Lesson one, Miranda timing is non-negotiable. Formal arrest triggers the obligation, any interrogation without it risks suppression. Lesson two, spontaneous pre-arrest statements carry full evidentiary weight. Silence before formal arrest remains the safest legal posture for any subject. Lesson three, charge only what the evidence supports.
