![]() ![]() Officer Miller followed the car for several blocks because he suspected the driver had bought drugs and he wanted to stop the car. The driver entered an apartment, returned two to five minutes later and drove away. The apartment complex is a narcotics hot spot. Pasco Police Officer Jason Miller, a patrol officer, saw an automobile pull up to a small apartment complex. Based on Ladson, we conclude that it does and reverse. The dispositive question here is whether the pretextual nature of the stop taints the arrest and subsequent search. The officer arrested him and searched his car where he found drugs and a gun. ![]() De-Santiago had an outstanding warrant and was driving without a license or insurance. After following him for about 10 blocks, the officer stopped Mr. DeSantiago looking for a reason to stop him.

Labeling the characters in this way formally defines their relationship, where, despite often very friendly and informal tones, Molina can never be anything more than a prisoner to the man who will always be defined in his role as warden. The labels themselves are important too, because the character names are not Molina and ‘Warden X’, but simply Prisoner and Warden. The warden’s interactions with Molina are notably different than Valentin’s, because each line is clearly labeled as if it were part of a script. There is really only one other form of exchange in the book aside from between Molina and Valentin, and that is between Molina and the Warden, who is offering Molina parole if he gets valuable information out of Valentin. But he never labels their lines nor indicates who is speaking, leaving the reader to track the dialogue on their own. He presents the entire story in the form of a dialogue between the two main characters, Valentin and Molina. In the novel Kiss of the Spider Woman, the author Manuel Puig presents us with a very unique way of reading the story. ![]() ![]() He is a hard-hearted business man that hates Christmas.
