As I came up to the driver door that was open, I can smell the smell of weed coming from your All right. We found cannabis inside, found inside, and found another thing inside that was on the floorboard of the driver's side where you were sitting. What would that be? >> I only smell weed, so I don't know. >> You don't know? You didn't know about the >> bag that was on the floor. Small white baggie, the white powder in it. No, I don't do that.

You're also >> there's not a law against it, >> hearsay, if you will. Some of it could be considered other things of a crime, but it's just more human nature not to smoke a narcotic around. >> All right. Whether whatever your beliefs of cannabis are. >> Am I under arrest? >> I'm I'm just talking to you. >> Okay. Like I said, you've been detained this time. Your rights doesn't mean >> he's not either.

There we go. We never know what's in the car. That's why you're putting cuffs. And you explain that you were not under arrest. Okay. >> Also explain it to this lady that she was not under arrest either. She's just not in cuffs because I didn't want the child to be running around with people in cuffs. Okay. >> I got you. >> So, I'm going read these things. I'm going to say, "Do you understand after every statement which you'll reply yes or no?"
