They then order the two men to come out of the home one at a time and then ask their names. 

As the first man appears, he is instructed to turn around with his hands above his head and then walk down the driveway to one of the police cars. 

The man then makes his way towards the car, placing both hands on the back before being searched by officers.

A second man appears from the house and is asked to again turn around with his hands on his head and is ordered to walk to the same car.
