Officer Allen activated his lights and pulled over the vehicle. The encounter was captured on his
body camera.
Knight-Walker was driving the vehicle. A male passenger was sitting next to her. Less
than two minutes after initiating the stop, Officer Allen asked Knight-Walker if there were any
weapons in the vehicle. She answered, “no.” He obtained Knight-Walker’s driver’s license.
Back in his police vehicle, he learned that her mother was the actual owner of the vehicle. He
also determined that Knight-Walker’s license was suspended and that she had multiple
convictions for driving on a suspended license. He walked back to speak with Knight-Walker.
Officer Allen told Knight-Walker that she had a suspended license and that she could not
continue driving the car. He asked the passenger if he could drive. The passenger responded
that he could not. Officer Allen then informed Knight-Walker that her driving on a suspended
license “is an arrestable offense, it’d be your third time. I’m not going to arrest you for it, ok?
I’ve got no reason to, you’ve been nice to me and everything. But you can’t drive out of here,
though, ok.” Knight-Walker responded that she understood and that she would call her son to
come pick her up.
Fifteen seconds later, the officer said, “[o]k. I know I just asked you, I want to make sure
we’re on the same page here, no weapons in the vehicle. Do you have any drugs, though, in the
car?” Knight-Walker answered, “[n]o, I do not.” Officer Allen followed up with, “[n]o
marijuana, no cocaine, no heroin, nothing crazy?” This exchange lasted approximately twelve
seconds. Knight-Walker answered that she did not have any illegal substances. Officer Allen
said “ok” and asked, “do you mind if I check?” Knight-Walker paused for several moments and
started to say “um,” to which Officer Allen added, “[i]t will be real quick. I just want to make
sure there’s nothing in the car.” Knight-Walker opened the door of her vehicle. Officer Allen Jump to an indexed page (10 of 10)
