OFFICER RAY TENSING: Hey, how’s it going man?
SAM DUBOSE: Hey, how’s it going?
RT: Good. Officer Tensing. UC Police. You have a license on you?
SD: Yeah, what happened? What’s the problem?
RT: Is this your car?
SD: Yeah.
RT: It’s coming back to a female actually.
SD: It’s my wife. Her name is -----------.
RT: OK, you don’t have a front license plate on your car.
SD: That's in my glove box. I have it.
RT: What’s that?
SD: It’s right here.
RT: Oh, OK. That’s actually ... that’s got to go where the front plate is supposed to go. You don’t have to reach for it. It’s OK. You have your license on you?
SD: Yeah. (reaches around his pants)
RT: What’s that bottle on the floor there?
SD: Oh, that’s a bottle of (unintelligible)
RT: A bottle of what?
SD: A bottle of (unintelligible) (DuBose hands it to Tensing and the officer holds up a bottle of gin)

SD: Thought I did—why did you pull me over?
RT: Again, your front tag.
SD: But it’s not illegal to not have a front tag.
RT: OK, actually it is. I’m going to ask you again: Do you have a license on you?
SD: I have a license, you can run my name.
RT: OK is that not on you then?
SD: I don’t think I have it on me.
RT: Be straight up with me. Are you suspended?
SD: No, I’m not suspended.
RT: Then why don’t you have your license on you?
SD: I just don’t. I’m sorry (unintelligible). I’m just going to go in my house.
RT: OK, where do you stay at? Down here?
SD: Right around the (unintelligible).
RT: OK, well, as far as I can figure out if you have a license or not, go ahead and take your seatbelt off. (Tensing reaches for the car door)
SD: I ain’t even do nothing. (DuBose pulls the door back closed.)
RT: Go ahead and take your seatbelt off. STOP. STOP. (Tensing draws his gun and fires once and falls to the ground. DuBose’s car can be seen rolling away out of frame.)
