OFFICER: There's tampering here. Refer to secondary.

IGLESIAS: This vehicle came from primary and right now we're gonna do an inspection on the vehicle. The passenger is coming from Reynosa where he lives. He's going to work. The subject right now is claiming that he's in a hurry. That's usually a red flag on us. Trying to pressure our inspection. So we're gonna see what is in the vehicle. We usually start from the front and work ourselves around. There's nothing here. We usually tap to see if there's any, uh, if there's a solid feeling or something like that. That might be an indicator that something might be in there. We'll check the back seats. See if there's anything here. We see for any, any tampering, anything like that. Tampering means they removed something and usually those are, uh, indicators of there being something in the vehicle.

And you can see there's tampering here. There's bolts here. Those are factory but they have been removed. That's an indicator there's might be something in the vehicle. We're gonna continue checking on the vehicle, if there's any additional tampering on the car. That's already a red flag on the vehicle. There's probably gonna be something in there. The bolts have been scuffed, like, they had been hit with a ratchet or something like that. That's usually a red flag, the, the seat has been removed. That's not normal on a vehicle to have a seat removed.

But right now we're gonna call our, uh, K9 officer.

K9 OFFICER: Hey, ready? That's a good alert. Good boy. Good boy. You've got a positive alert. Secure the subject.

OFFICER: 10-4.
