I bet a couple of things are involved here. The Mexican dude likely has some interesting tats. MS-13? I’d bet they are followers of Santa Muerte. That may really be why the cops pulled them over, they mau have had an amulet hanging off their rear view mirror or some other image of Santa Muerte on their car or maybe a statue on the dash. The narco/gangster/traffickers really think they are invisible to law enforcement when they do so.
They were likely pretty wasted at the time. I’m glad they did not open up on the officer that pulled them over. This could have turned out very bad for him and everyone around him.
These guys are thieves and this is their latest haul. Where the Kalashnikovs came from will be the interesting development. Look for SWAT raid with ATF and DEA support real soon now.

Newport Beach is a high income area, and it doesn’t take much, to get pulled over. According to the article, it was a van, with expired tags, and an ‘equipment violation’. It doesn’t mention that the lovely couple didn’t fit into the local demographics, but you can bet that was a factor, as well.
Thanks.
Don't place that bet until after you read the article......LOL!
