There are several things that bother me about this:
1. Broken tail light—well don’t police usually use license plate to run a check of the car’s owner? Officer was behind the car if broken tail light. Why wouldn’t he run a check on the plates.
2. I was under the impression that your lic. plate would reveal to an officer doing a lic plate check that you are a CCW holder, and when stopped you tell the officer you have a firearm...Shoudn’t this cop have checked??
You cannot obtain a CCW if you have a criminal record, so the driver not very likely a perp. Again, wouldn’t officer be able to verify some of this?
Minneapolis police have both dash cams and body cams...Wonder if this nearby municipality does as well, if they do, then should be able to obtain video of officer actions prior to the passenger starting her phone.
The local news said the girlfriend is in custody...I wonder why??
Very troubling video to me as news reports show the guy seemed like he was a nice guy who was in wrong place wrong time, etc...
The passenger probably didn’t own the car so they likely wouldn’t get zip on the plate run regarding a CW.
Reports said she was not in custody - just being questioned, which you would expect.
