A traffic stop based on a visible violation is lawful. Officers are entitled to request identification and conduct a records check. At this stage, force is not justified. The encounter is still at the level of a traffic violation. However, the lack of a license can provide grounds for further investigation or citation. >> Right now trying to get some gas money.

That's why we're checking to make sure everything's all good. >> Yeah, but >> I mean it's dangerous. you're the wrong way cuz especially when you leave like if you if you pull out the that way cuz you think you're going the right way and you're going into oncoming traffic or you turn to make a U-turn and cars are coming. >> Yeah. >> Are you staying in your car right now? >> Yeah. >> How long have you been staying in your car? >> Uh for about 10 hours. >> Good. >> Okay.

Officers began a brief pursuit through local streets with the suspect running red lights before crashing. Using a vehicle in a way that nearly hits an officer can amount to assault with a weapon. California Penal Code section 245 when a car is used as a weapon. This escalates the case from a traffic stop to a felony. Vehicle pursuit policies allow officers to pursue when a suspect poses a danger to others. Here the conduct reckless driving near assault on an officer falls under conditions justifying pursuit.

Breaking into an occupied home is burglary/home invasion. California Penal Code section 459. This is a serious felony and provides officers with full legal authority to enter, pursue, and arrest immediately in order to protect residents. >> I have those penalties that are hard to tell. >> Okay.

Go south. South. There you go. Where'd he go? Where's the car? >> Where'd he go? >> Hold on. I'm bringing the dog. >> A police helicopter spotted the suspect in a backyard. Officers and a K-9 unit engaged. The dog made contact. During the struggle, the suspect allegedly reached for a firearm. Officers shouted, "Gun! Drop the gun!" Then shots were fired. A handgun was later recovered at the scene. K9 use is classified as a use of force. It is permitted under department policy when a fleeing felony suspect poses risks and cannot be safely apprehended otherwise. Fourth standard under California Penal Code section 835A and US Supreme Court President Graham v Connor officers may use force if they have an objectively reasonable belief that the suspect poses an immediate threat of or serious injury. In this case, if officers saw the suspect reaching for a gun and ignoring commands, the use of force is legally justified under those standards. Bling. Bling. Bling.

Watch my dog, guys. Watch my dog. [Music] >> The case of Ricardo Andrade demonstrates how quickly a routine stop can spiral into a life or situation, both for officers and for the suspect. From a legal standpoint in California, each step the officers took had a basis in law. From pursuing an unlicensed driver who fled to using force once there was an armed threat. Still, every such incident is subject to investigation to determine whether the officer's actions were indeed justified. For us, it's a reminder that behind every major headline is a chain of smaller decisions. And sometimes those choices determine how the story ends. Stay safe, respect the law, and remember, even a minor violation can set off a chain of events with unpredictable consequences. Thank you for watching.
