You told me that I have unusual behavior. I'm getting pulled over trying to go onto the veteran, sir. There's nothing illegal in there. >> What are those pads for, the or the color? >> They're scrubby pads. >> What are those used for? >> Look at them all. >> So, the only thing that you have in there is the airsoft gun and a knife? >> No, I didn't say I have a knife.

Am I free to go? >> In this video, a routine traffic stop quickly escalated after an officer claimed the driver showed unusual behavior while heading toward the veterans area. What started with questions about tinted windows and items inside the car turned into a full-blown fishing expedition as deputies kept pressing her about what she was carrying and whether they could search her vehicle. As the stop went on, the pressure kept building, but the driver refused to play along with the questioning tactics. Even as officers hinted at drugs, K9 units, and kept circling back with the same probing questions, she stood firm and didn't give them the answers they were looking for, setting up a tense final exchange that changed the entire direction of the stop. >> Sir, it's 100° out. My air is not working right. You can search right there. Why are you blocking me? >> Cuz I don't want you reaching for a knife. That's why. You told me that there might be a knife in the car, so I'd rather you not reach for something. >> know. >> I want to show you what your tint is real quick.

Okay, so you guys just so Just so you know we're not >> Yeah, I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful in any way. I'm just going about my normal business. This is how I conduct every traffic stop. >> Okay. >> I've conducted thousands. >> What? >> I ask the same questions in every single one, no matter the >> Of course. Well, you're telling me now I look suspicious cuz it's 100° out. I have no air. >> When have I told you that you look suspicious? >> You told me that I have unusual behavior. I'm getting pulled over trying to go onto the veteran, sir. There's nothing illegal in there. >> pads for?

You got green on. >> No. But I am going to video tape this because he's very hostile. >> I'm sorry you feel that way. We're also filming you if that makes you feel better. >> I already know. >> So, there's an airsoft gun in there or something then? >> It doesn't matter. >> It stinks you can't roll the other window down right now. >> It comes and it goes. I think that it's a um a fuse. It works, then it doesn't work. >> Did you say the only thing that you have in there is a airsoft gun and a knife? >> No, I didn't say I have a knife. I said possibly. I don't know. I had to cut my battery cable. >> Would it be okay if we checked? >> No. >> It's not okay? >> No. I know what my rights are. I know what my constitutional rights are. No, there's no check. So, now you're going to call the dogs, right? >> Maybe. >> Okay. >> If there's one around, if there's not, then you'll be good to go. >> Is this still your current address? Let's get a phone number for you. >> Why? >> It's for a written warning. >> I mean, if I had something to hide, I wouldn't drive between two different officers. Come on. >> You wouldn't ride between us? >> I was right between you guys. I'm friends I mean, I'm not friends with I know um one of your deputies, Smith, and his partner. They always come to my complex. >> I'm new to this area, so I don't really I'm not familiar with this guy. >> Right, but I'm not going to ride between two police officers if I have something to hide. Would you like to get pulled over? >> I've been pulled over. >> This is very embarrassing. >> A lot of people get pulled over. >> And you're telling me that I'm I have drugs and all the other crap in my car. I don't >> Who told you you had drugs? >> Yeah. >> No, he didn't. >> Yeah. Accusing me of having drugs and all the other >> I think he simply asked if you did. >> And do I look like a drug addict? Absolutely. I don't look like a drug addict. >> I never said you did. >> No, I I know you didn't. But I know the green team. I know what you guys are looking for. I'm not dumb. And there's plenty of other people with dark tint over there. >> you we were going to tint all ships on. So, you're not special. Dark tint is an officer's safety issue. I couldn't even see in your car with this light. >> Oh, I can see in. Look. >> I couldn't see into your car. >> I had my windows rolled down, sir. >> That window is not rolled down and it was never rolled down. >> No, it wasn't, but this one was. >> Yeah. I'm saying when you were digging in the in the glove box to get him your registration. >> see? >> I couldn't see in. >> Guess I should have never came down Hillsborough. >> Where are you headed to? >> I have to go to work. >> Oh, where do you where do you >> I do uh I'm a licensed cosmetologist and massage. >> Kind of sucks you got to work on a Saturday. >> Hey, got to work. >> Got to do it. All right. We can to to your >> Huh? can go back to your vehicle. >> Okay. >> You can sit. >> No, I'll stand. >> Unless you want to stand. >> No, I I have to go on the veterans. >> Oh, okay. >> How can I help you? >> I'm going to give you a warning and your stuff back. >> I'll take it. >> Are you under the influence of narcotics? >> Sir, I'm not answering any of your questions. Am I free to go? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Thank you. Have a good day. >> You have a good day. >> In the end, the officer had nothing to hold her on. After all the questioning, assumptions, and pressure, she was still let go with just a warning. No search, no charges, no admission, nothing. The entire stop ended exactly where it should have started, with her being free to leave after refusing to feed into their questions.
