Did they have the right to search? These two were pulled over for a traffic violation when the cop smelled weed. After he asked them to step out of the vehicle, the story kept unfolding. Eventually they searched the vehicle, then the driver’s purse, ending in an arrest. But...

Albuquerque, New Mexico — Police received a call from an employee at a gas station who said a vehicle had been parked at the gas pump for several hours. The caller said the vehicle was not running, and she could barely see the driver because of the dark, tinted windows. She asked for officers to check on the driver. Officers arrived and ran the license plate and determined the registered owner of the car was Keshawn Thomas. Officers discovered the driver, later confirmed to be Thomas, was asleep in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. Officers noticed alcohol, including an open container, inside the vehicle. They determined that since the vehicle was not running, they did not have charges for drunk driving. Officers decided they would tell Thomas he needed to have someone come and pick up the car. They woke Thomas and asked him to exit the vehicle and take a seat. They told Thomas not to start the car and told him he was not in trouble. Thomas exited the vehicle but declined to sit down. An officer asked Thomas what he was doing with open containers in the car and pointed out he was drunk, and had been passed out for several hours. Officers later told investigators that they detected signs of intoxication during the encounter. An officer told him he should not be driving drunk because he could hurt himself or others. Thomas and officers argued with each other, and as the conversation became more heated, an additional officer was requested for assistance. Thomas sat in the driver’s seat of his vehicle with the door open and appeared to be searching the interior of the car. Officers directed him to get his phone and exit the vehicle. After about 30 second, one of the officers called out that Thomas had a gun. All three officers fired their handguns, striking Thomas. He died at the scene.

🚨ICE agents pulled a man over, accused him of a traffic violation that his own DASH CAM disproved, then illegally used that stop to demand his immigration status, in Pittsburgh. And this is exactly what it looks like when a traffic stop becomes an illegal fishing expedition… for immigration status. In this video, ICE agents surround the man’s car, with what appears to be a police vehicle behind him. A masked ICE agent aggressively approaches the passenger window while another ICE agent goes to the driver’s window and demands his ID. ICE agents are federal immigration officers, they aren’t local police… So, why are ICE agents the ones surrounding this car, confronting the people inside, and accusing the driver of a traffic violation… while the cop appears to walk up afterward? If this was actually a traffic stop, why is the cop not initiating and enforcing the traffic violation? The driver asks why he is being stopped. The agent tells him he was “riding that guy’s ass” and claims he was following the vehicle too closely. Except there’s a problem… his dash cam video shows the exact opposite. He was traveling in his lane when another car… coming from a merge lane… pulled directly in front of him. That is the moment ICE agents appear to turn on their lights, since the driver slows down and pulls over. So, he understandably says, “Me? I wasn’t following anybody.” The agent doubles down, claiming he was too close and that he “has to be a car length away.” Then, they demand that both people get out of the vehicle. The passenger is taken by ICE, while another agent asks the driver whether he has any weapons. And then comes the real reason for the stop… “Are you allowed to be here? Are you illegal? Are you allowed to be in this country?” The driver tells them he has his resident card and hands it over. Eventually, they let him go. And THIS is where the constitutional violations become impossible to ignore. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. A traffic stop is a seizure, meaning the government needs reasonable suspicion that a traffic violation, or crime, actually occurred. Even during a lawful traffic stop, officers cannot prolong the stop to investigate an unrelated matter without additional reasonable suspicion. So, when the alleged traffic violation turns into demands for identification, orders to exit the vehicle, questions about whether the people in the car are “illegal,” and an immigration-status check… the Fourth Amendment comes into question. And the fact that they eventually let this man go, after determining he was lawfully present, makes this even more disturbing. Because what exactly was the point of stopping him? He clearly wasn’t violating any tailgating law. So this wasn’t a legitimate traffic stop…it was a fabricated pretext to investigate his immigration status. And that is precisely why the Constitution exists. Because the government doesn’t get to say, “We wanted to check who you are, so we made up a reason to stop you.” And ICE does not get a free pass to stop Americans, and legal residents, and demand they prove their citizenship. The government has to follow the law, too.
