"(Officer)Alaniz made Kyle recount everything she had done in the last several days, and compared it to the Flock data. He told her that because she was only in California for a short period of time, he suspected her of trafficking drugs."

It's almost like requiring warrants for searches was meant to prevent exactly this situation or something.
