It's in for-real Spanish, which means I can't understand a word, but I definitely understand the universal language of "There's a pistol stuck in her pants." I won't remember the technical term for it until after 10:00 am, but it is something like "expectational blindness," when we don't see something because we don't expect to see it. There may have been some gender issues also - note that the pistol was spotted by a female officer right quick, whereas the guys were probably doing nothing more than a quick peek to see if her belly button was an inny or an outty, and were more concerned about being accused of scoping the scenery.
I don't know the context of the stop, but worked vice long enough to know that you've got to do a thorough enough search to determine if a female is an actual female. If you can't tell bumpy from smooth with the back of your hand, something's wrong with the back of your hand, and any pistol is going to be bumpy, even when it's in plain site.
It also gives me an opportunity to work the word "pantaloons" back into my vocabulary.
