They only searched his car because they called in a K-9 unit, and one of the cops (NOT the K-9 officer) then immediately entered the vehicle and began to search it, despite (according to the driver) receiving no confirmation from the K-9 officer that the dog had indicated anything of legal interest. If I recall the video correctly, the officer who entered was the same officer as was most belligerent in the video. |
It was in the video. The driver said that the cops were arresting his passenger while they were pulling things out of the passenger's pocket and putting the contents on the seat next to the driver. @2:20 he pans over to passenger seat, the door is open and you can see the cops searching the passenger and there's stuff on the seat they pulled from the passenger's pockets. @3:17 the cops ask him about the contents they got off the passenger. @1:02 the driver says the passenger is getting arrested.
The video was cut and edited because it jumps about. The vid never shows the K-9 search at all but the unit probably did show up and the car was searched because the drugs I assume that were on the seat. A K-9 unit searching your car still counts as being searched. Personally, I just let cops search my car because it's quicker that way and it defuses cops suspicions quickly. I've been with friends who wanted to a pain in the ass with cops and we spent couple of hours going through this routine.
