This is Braden, a blue collar guy who saw a state trooper violating traffic laws in his small town of Rigby, Idaho. He’s considering making a complaint, because it’s a double standard. He snaps two photos of the cruiser so he could ID the officer in a complaint. But then the officer stops and detains him, accusing him of being a possible terrorist… forces him under threat of arrest to provide his ID, openly hoping he had a warrant; he then looks for his vehicle, hoping to find a reason – any reason – to take Braden to jail. When the trooper finds out Braden has a concealed weapon permit, he harasses him further, putting his hands behind his back and generously frisking Braden – again almost hoping for any reason to escalate the situation.
The trooper claims that even though he, as a police officer, gets to look into the windows of our vehicles, that we can’t do the same to a police vehicle. Because they’re special. Fortunately, Braden had a dash cam that captured the trooper’s driving, and additionally, there was a good cop there, who documented – with his bodycam – the trooper’s open and defiant retaliation against this citizen exercising his First Amendment rights to document police misconduct.

criminalizing public photography should be a crime.
Very telling how he just did like a reverse pick pocket thing and slipped his ID in his pocket… very cool magic trick to just have someone be surprised at what you put in their pocket. I bet it took a lot of practice.
I really like this video, which obviously shows the actions of a tyrant, but also indicates a Rigby police officer who is actually protecting and serving the public. Unfortunately, he has to protect Braden from other so-called "law enforcement."
Yea I’m guessing that cop goes home and does terrible nasty things to his dog with a fork.
Hmmm, its the Spaniard from Gladiator…hey Braden, you are my hero!
This Wilson dude is making a laughing stock out of himself…what a moron!
IN THE OLD DAYS IT WAS CALLED ,
HEAVY BADGE SYNDROME
Idaho has a large white population, so the police target low income people to harass. Crime is pretty low, a little drugs a petty theft, and DUI.
Probably due to most everyone being well armed.
Just another day in America 🇺🇸 🙃
Oh, he definitely violated this man's rights! And they continue to do it every day in America! That's why they have earned the hate!
When the cop says "You could be a terrorist" I would counter with " I also could by the guy who has been banging your wife (or mother)".
That cop comes across as dangerous
There is NO cop in America who can "recognize" a terrorist. If they even halfway believe, they're lying to themselves. Literally they just wouldn't know it from the next guy. They're lying, and the deserve serious scrutiny for mental health issues.
The link for the ISP complaint form no longer works.
Freddie Mercury 😂😂 lmao.. can’t you just see this guy in his skinny Winnie’s in front of his full length mirror singing We Are The Chanpions 🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️🤣🤦🏼♀️
Definitely need to pull more of this Troopers body cams…probably a trove of rights violations 😢
Your silence on ICE says all that needs saying. You’re full of shit and dgaf about rights.

The Police Officer documenting the false imprisonment saved the citizen from harm. The psycho cop clearly had bad intentions.
Thank you
