Young Driver Handcuffed at a Learner's Permit Stop - Then Cops Tow Truck Over a Card Fraud Report

A lost wallet, two debit card charges at a Publix, and a young driver stopped on the side of the road. In this bodycam footage from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office in Florida, a family's theft report is followed by a handcuffed detention and a truck towed to impound. What started as a learner's permit stop became a criminal investigation. The footage raises hard questions: what lets a detention go beyond a civil traffic violation, and what does it take to hold a vehicle for a search warrant?
