but I need you to step out of the vehicle for right now okay for what cuz we're going to do some sobriety tting for here I told you I don't want to do sobriety test I'm telling you have to step out of the vehicle and do it sir get over here get back in your vehicle sir I'm not being detained you don't have to rush me like he mad cuz he wanted to come in my car and I ain't let him the encounter began when the driver a door Dash worker was pulled over for allegedly stopping past a line at a red light and crossing a solid white line under Texas Transportation code section 5 44.7 stopping pass the line does not constitute a moving violation unless it obstructs traffic or creates a hazard the driver explained that he had reversed to correct his position minimizing the issue the officer also pointed out a tinted license plate cover claiming it obscured visibility which the driver disputed noting it was still legible these minor infractions were used to justify the stop setting the stage for a confrontation hey how's it going good evening I'm also Shi was a l Mar Police Department let you know this st's being audio and Visually recorded yeah I'm also recording okay that's fine I get your license registration Pro yes sir reason why you pulled me over uh so back at church in Lancaster you went over the line at the red light I saw you back up yeah I was like probably like over like a half a foot six yeah and then the registration plate is obscured theend lense PL in the back the uh what my uh registrations for August yeah so no I'm saying the the license plate right so they have a tinted cover on it so it was I couldn't really see as you're passing me really and I couldn't really see anything I have lights back there during the license plate yeah I know but it has like a cover on that kind of like fades it out so that was the first time I heard it no problem it's okay all right I'm just door dashing you door dashing yeah I come out here every night I see y'all in the parking lots every night so I'm usually aware of everything so no yeah I understand no problem I just got a question uh so I can smell marijuana is there any marijuana in the vehicle the officer then claimed to smell marijuana in the vehicle and accused the driver of being impaired according to Tech health and safety code section 481.121 mere possession of a prescribed medical substance is not a criminal offense the driver a legal medical marijuana patient clarified that he had a prescription for a vape pen but had not used it while driving the officer's impairment accusations lacked evidence as the driver showed no signs of intoxication this baseless claim was part of an attempt to intimidated the driver into compliance I spell marijuana is there any marijuana in the vehicle no I I smoked earlier while I was on break I'm a patient as well you're a patient yes you have medical marijuana c yeah sir no problem about how long ago did you smoke this was like 3 hours ago what time is it now like probably like 10:30 10:30 yeah all right problem back all right all right thank you problem hey uh just a quick question um me so uh since you just said did say you smoked about 3 hours ago would you be one to subit to some field body test just to make sure you're okay to drive and if you're go if you pass a test you're good to go not really I'm not a drunker it's not like I'm drunk no I know but like when I was approaching you I saw you go over side line a couple times just want to make sure you're good to go it wasn't a couple of times officer it was one time I told you I went over about a foot and I no it was it was on uh it was right on the lster armor right here yeah I'm trying to I'm in the middle of a order like if I back out this video like I'm literally on an order so to take that much of your time yeah I'm okay officer I just want to make sure you're good all right yeah I'm good officer not going to SM it n it's going to take too much time on the mdle I'm in the middle of a order all like I respect your job and like I said I come up in here every single day I'm not trying to I I do no I know but that's what I'm saying like if I had more time maybe I would have

right here right yeah the one where I took can y'all get the light on my eyes cuz I got this one and then I got you with the flashlight so two two things you keep saying multiple infractions I told you so like I said at the at CH when I when I what I was going to say was I stopped 6 in a half a foot past the line and I just reversed you're saying you think I'm impair because I I smoked marijuana as a patient 3 hours ago I know but even as a patient you can't smoke and drive I didn't smoke and drive that's what I'm saying I was home 3 hours ago right I was home but then you drove within those there's no limit on how much time you could smoke and then drive it's not like I'm drinking and I have alcohol you see what I'm saying officer like I'm grown like I'm not sitting here trying to make your job difficult I respect you I respect you I respect what y'all do again I know all night I see yall all night in the parking lots I understand what y'all do trust me I don't even drive when I'm
