Synopsis
When Officer Gary Couso of the Santa Ana, CA, Police Department stops a suspicious vehicle coming out of an alley in an area of the city known for heavy drug activity, the officers question and conduct a routine search, and the passenger attempts to swallow a small amount of what is later determined to be crack cocaine. Another segment features Officer Gibson Smith of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department offering assistance on an investigation of a suspicious male who reportedly passed out in his vehicle at a local gas station for four hours.
