New Jersey police footage reveals how a “Traffic Stop Bodycam K9” scenario spiraled from a simple turn signal violation into a medical drama and narcotics bust.
It began as a standard traffic stop in Interlaken, NJ. But within an hour, one woman was in handcuffs, and the other was claiming to have a heart attack while police searched their vehicle.

Full Story: How the Incident Unfolded
The Stop: “Improper Turn” The incident occurred at 3:12 PM near Bendermere Avenue. Officer Hayes stopped the vehicle because the driver, Allison E. Dorobis, failed to use her turn signal properly.
When the officer approached, things immediately looked bad. Dorobis handed over her documents, but Officer Hayes quickly noted, “Both of these are expired”.
The Lies Begin Dorobis claimed the car belonged to her boyfriend, a “head rigger” at the famous Stone Pony venue. She told the officer she was just going to visit him.
But Officer Hayes was already suspicious. He had seen the car earlier in Asbury Park.
“I saw them go in Asbury,” Hayes told another officer. “And it was the male driver… she swapped people”.
When pressed, Dorobis changed her story. She switched from visiting her boyfriend to claiming she was coming from a doctor’s appointment near a Dunkin’ Donuts.
The K9 Factor & The Panic Suspecting criminal activity due to the conflicting stories, the police report shows officers initially requested a “K9 Sniff” from Sgt. Lokerson.
However, before a dog arrived, Officer Hayes offered Dorobis a choice: Sign a consent form to let them search the car voluntarily. Dorobis signed the waiver.
The Discovery During the search, officers found a “cylindrical burnt glass pipe” with copper mesh—a common tool for smoking crack cocaine. Officer Hayes was heard on bodycam saying, “We have at least four crack… Euro style with a little burner cup”.
The “Medical Emergency” Once the drugs were found and the reality of the arrest set in, the situation took a dramatic turn.
Dorobis began complaining of physical distress. “I get chest pains when you guys are [slow],” she told the officers.
First aid was requested for “left arm/chest pain”. The officer noted on the bodycam, “She says she gets chest pains… I think it was just anxiety”.

Legal Analysis: Was the Search Justified?
The Power of Consent In this “Traffic Stop Bodycam K9” case, the K9 never actually had to sniff the car. Why? Because the driver gave Consent.
Under the Fourth Amendment, police usually need “probable cause” to search a vehicle without a warrant. However, if a driver voluntarily signs a waiver, they waive that right. While the driver’s consent made the search legal, having your own video evidence is your best defense against misunderstandings.

Did She Have a Choice? Officer Hayes followed the book. He read the form aloud: “You have the right to refuse to allow the police to conduct a search”.
By signing, Dorobis made the K9 unnecessary. Legal experts often note that drivers panic when they hear “K9” and sign consent forms hoping to look cooperative. In this case, it backfired instantly.

Conclusion & Current Status
The “medical emergency” did not stop the process. An ambulance (Allenhurst First Aid) arrived, but the police report confirms both women were transported to headquarters for processing.
The vehicle was left legally parked at the scene.
This incident serves as a brutal reality check: Lying to police about your location is a red flag, but signing a consent form when you have contraband in the car is a guarantee of arrest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can police call a K9 unit for a minor traffic violation?
Generally, yes. However, under U.S. law (specifically the Rodriguez v. United States ruling), police cannot extend a traffic stop unreasonably just to wait for a dog to arrive. If the ticket writing process is finished, they usually cannot detain you further without “reasonable suspicion” of a crime.
Should I ever sign a ‘Consent to Search’ form?
Most defense attorneys advise against it. If you sign a consent form, you waive your Fourth Amendment protection. If you refuse, police must obtain a warrant or prove “probable cause” to search your vehicle. Signing voluntary consent makes it nearly impossible to challenge the search in court later.
Does going to the hospital stop an arrest?
No. If a suspect claims a medical emergency (like chest pains) during a stop, police will escort them to the hospital. However, an officer usually accompanies the ambulance or meets them there. Once medically cleared, the suspect is immediately transported to jail for processing.
Can a passenger be arrested for what is in the car?
Yes. This is known as “Constructive Possession.” If illegal items (like the glass pipes found in this case) are in a common area—such as the center console or glovebox—officers can charge everyone in the vehicle unless one person explicitly claims ownership.
How can I prove I wasn’t swerving or speeding?
Officer testimony is often taken as fact unless you have objective proof. A high-quality dashcam with GPS speed logging is the most effective way to contradict false claims about your driving. Without video evidence, it is often your word against the officer’s.
Don’t Rely on Their Word Alone In this case, conflicting stories led to an arrest. The only way to prove your innocence in a traffic stop is with your own 4K evidence.
