Puede hablar español?- ¿Puedo ver su licencia de manejar por favor?- Sí.- Señora, la razón que la paré es que este carro matchea un incidente que pasó perteneciendo a donde hubo unos cuantos balazos que le tiraron a una casa. Este, ¿usted y su pasajera si pueden bajarse y que usted me da permiso buscar si no trae armas en este vehículo?- Sí señor, como no.
