A man who had just bought a used Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat says he got an unexpected introduction to his new car when police pulled him and a passenger over minutes after the purchase. TikTok creator Topmansammy (@topmansammy) documented the encounter in a video that has drawn millions of views. Sammy said the purchase had happened about 20 minutes before the traffic stop. The video shows Sammy with another occupant in the car, apparently trying to understand why several police vehicles were approaching. One asks, “Why are there so many cops coming?” The situation quickly escalates. An officer orders the driver, “Driver, step out!” repeatedly telling the driver to open the door and get out. The driver tells police that he has his seatbelt on and later explains that he has a firearm in the vehicle. The passenger also tells officers that he has a firearm in his backpack. Eventually, police order both men out, hands raised. The driver says he has just purchased the vehicle and has the title. “I just purchased a vehicle,” he says. “I have the title and everything. Just got notarized.” According to the video, an officer responds, “Because someone in the car has a warrant for homicide.” @topmansammy Side quest with @habibis.cat we made it out tho #hellcat #cops #mopar ♬ original sound – Topmansammy The occupants appear stunned. The passenger asks whether he is being arrested, and the officer explains that he is being detained. Police eventually determined the men were not the people connected with the warrant. The pair were released, and an officer apologized for the confusion. The officer warned them they could be stopped again because of the information associated with the vehicle. The exact reason police identified the vehicle remains unclear from the video and available reporting. The vehicle or plate may have remained associated with information connected to the previous owner before the new ownership information reached state records. There is no indication the previous owner is connected to the supposed arrest warrant. Some commenters also theorized that a Flock automated license plate reader could have alerted police to the vehicle. Flock says its license plate reader systems can capture license plates and vehicle characteristics and alert law enforcement when a vehicle matches information on a crime database or hot list. Automated license plate readers have also drawn scrutiny over the possibility of incorrect alerts. Flock Safety says its systems use license plate and vehicle data to generate alerts for vehicles associated with law enforcement databases. The company notes that an alert does not itself establish that a vehicle or person is involved in a crime. Officers must investigate and verify the information. In this case, no publicly available evidence established that a Flock camera generated the alert that led to the Hellcat stop.
