The tip, that they just gave themself, is used to pull Santonio over without true probable cause.
They find three joints in the car (far from heavy dose of narcotics). Call me crazy, but the obvious conclusion to me on this is:
Cops thought Santonio was a dealer, called the tip in (annonymously), gave themselves probable cause to pull him over, and found 3 marijuana cigerrettes.
It doesn't excuse Santonio's behavior, but it bothers me that this is what likley happened. Any time a cop wants to pull someone over, apparently all they need to do is call an off-duty officer or friend, and have them report an annoymous tip on a vehicle.
That or pull them over for not wearing a seat-belt...another funny law put in place for the sole purpose of pulling suspicious people over.

Uh, if that was the case, then why did their self-supplied "anonymous" tip fail to specify the model, color, and state license plate of the SUV, if they could [censored]ing see it? Oh, that's right...all cops think that all black men in decked out SUVs are drug dealers.
