Prolonged Traffic and Data Collection Stop (Williamson County, TX) 22May2018

Prolonged Traffic and Data Collection Stop (Williamson County, TX) 22May2018 IMPORTANT TO NOTE WHEN WATCHING THIS VIDEO: (Volume required) - This video is aproximately 41 minutes long. It is an example of how a legitimate stop, which should have taken 11 minutes, can be extended to 41 minutes with the improper request of a K-9 unit because the biker refuses a consent for a vehicle search. The biker has volunteered this information NOT as an example of what to do but rather to learn from his mistakes. More importantly, the conversations between officers highlight biases, the perpetuation of outdated stereotypes, and ignorance of recent Central Texas history. The stop takes an interesting tone once the officer finds the biker's pocket Declaration of Independence and Constitution during a pat down. This is meant to be a learning tool.

We are currently securing more of these pocket Constitutions for future COC meetings.
