Simone complied.
Keller directed her toward the rear of her car.
"Anything illegal inside?"
"No."
"Mind if I search?"
"Yes."
Keller paused.
"Yes, you mind?"
"Correct."
"Why?"
"Because I don't consent to a search."
Keller stared at her.
"People with nothing to hide usually cooperate."
"I am cooperating."
"No, you're making this difficult."
Simone kept her hands visible.
"I'm standing exactly where you told me."
Keller ordered her to turn around.
Simone asked whether she was under arrest.
That was when his tone changed.
"Stop questioning every instruction."
"I'm asking what I'm being detained for."
Keller grabbed her wrist.
Simone instinctively pulled her arm toward her body.
She immediately stopped herself.
"Don't resist!"
"I'm not resisting."
But Keller had already committed to his version of the moment.
Within seconds Simone was against the side of her car.
Handcuffed.
A couple filling their SUV at the next pump stared.
Keller searched Simone's pockets.
Then he searched her vehicle.
"I don't consent to this," she said.
"Noted."
He opened the trunk.
Gym bag.
Work materials.
Emergency medical kit.
Nothing illegal.
Keller's frustration grew.
Then he noticed the couple watching.
"Move along."
