Other curious thing: given the location wouldn't it be prudent to have some basic Spanish classes for public officials? It's not that hard to get the basics and it would really help communicating…

It does not seem that understanding is the goal here, misunderstanding is the goal. Education and compassion are not helpful towards the end of harrassment.

Harassment? The guy was a drug dealer with a lot of drugs in his car, and they tried to ask him if they could search his car. I’d say that’s about as far from harassment as it gets.

Isn't that something you'd only discover after searching the car? Car searches need to be valid before executing them, not after.

> they tried to ask him if they could search his car.

They tried, failed, and then searched his car regardless.
