just turn around put your hands up there for me are you serious right now there's no weed in the car there's nothing in the car you can't check the car because the car don't smell like weed welcome back to the body cam Zone in October 2022 Alice Diaz the chief of staff for the mayor of Middletown Connecticut was charged with driving under the influence in Rocky Hill on this day the police perform a stop on a car whose driver's license is believed to be suspended and after this things from a simple traffic stop escalate pretty quickly join us in today's video as we analyze the scene as much as possible let me drinks hey can you roll down your windows for me can you roll them all down for me please yeah how you doing sir I'm doing great how are you off super near the Sarasota Police Department yeah can you roll down the other ones as well please yeah we stopped you because your license is suspended which is suspended I don't know why not even my car okay yeah I'm just letting you know that your licenses I'm just letting you know that your license is suspended right yes I'm not suspended the officers tell him to step out for a quick search and as he's doing so they notice a smell and decide to search the car for any drugs particularly marijuana the guy insists again that this is not his car and that he wouldn't have any sort of drugs in the car maybe he's pulling me out the car hey can you just step out for him real quick all we're doing is just having you step out that's it you can't this dude you can't just do that like you got to tell me some some reason why something yeah so for our safety and for your safety we're just having you step out of the vehicle for right now serious oh you gotta are you serious right now I'm one of my my son football practice okay what is the problem that's it what's going on we're just hanging out right here why are my license so cemented we don't know why it's suspended suspended yeah we don't know exactly why would be child support and I pay child support okay can you call my mother please because they I feel like I feel like they're harassing me right now what is the problem can you always bring more to me what is the point we just told you what the problem is yeah on our system all right all it says is it's suspended okay all right it's gonna give us some generic reason this is not my car how did you guys know that this I was in this car this is not my car it doesn't make any sense to me because we saw you leaving this expression are you serious right now sir what do you mean nothing don't smell like marijuana no milk nothing don't smell like marijuana the car don't smell like weed why are you ask me about America marijuana I'm clean man like this is not right just turn around put your hands up there for my head are you serious right now there's no weed in the car there's nothing in the car you can't check the car because the car don't smell like weed so what is wrong with you guys after a few moments of more searching the officers appear to have discovered a few small amounts of marijuana hidden within the vehicle would this imply that he was aware of the drugs and that he actually possessed them the man seemed to be vehemently denying this even though the officer's dashboard camera makes it pretty clear that it happened however given that he did not own the vehicle in question is there a remote possibility that he was unaware of the item's presence it's okay this is against the law you can't detain me for no reason you're detained on a traffic stop I got a shake on the ground the car is clean what's what what are you tell me show more to shake that show me what to say that show me what it is no shaking there man you're not gonna just sit here harass me like this man just listen for a second are you serious that's right just relax just for a second there's no marijuana in the car I'm you're not you're harassing me this is harassment Mr Right can you just are you serious okay all right you ain't even telling me you ain't even tell me what you did it before so this is a crazy can you hey can you suggest he goes he's gonna come in or out of cops yes there's the crumbs are you serious that's Shake the fact that the search is still going on makes things even more difficult for him a police officer is seen pulling out of the vehicle what appears to be a small bag and then taking out of the bag a firearm immediately an important question arises is he a convicted felon after this he's placed in the trunk of the officer's car and driven away after that it appears that the police muted the audio so not much can be discerned about what was happening the officers attempt to read the driver's rights after informing him that he would be detained and placing him under arrest the fact that you can hear him trying to explain to the officers that he's a convicted felon does not necessarily mean that he would commit another crime in the middle of all this and the fact that he has been making significant strides toward improving his lifestyle such as making his child support payments on time and finding a job for himself but this incident would really throw everything off track want to do probably for what are you crazy so are you serious you took a a stem out my car I still have my car wow I thought there was no weenie hey so let me kind of bridge it
