It was an ordinary drive home until flashing lights signaled me to pull over. Moments later, I found myself wrongfully arrested by the police, their accusations baseless and infuriating. Little did they know, my dashcam had been recording the entire time.
The footage I had could expose the truth...
The red and blue lights flashed behind me, and I immediately pulled over. My heart raced, but I told myself it was probably a simple misunderstanding. The officer approached my window with a look that felt colder than usual. He didn’t ask for my license—he simply told me to step out of the car. Something was wrong, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
I got out of the car, my hands trembling slightly as I followed his instructions. I hadn’t done anything wrong, yet I could feel the weight of accusation in the air. He handcuffed me without explanation, his grip firm and unyielding. My protests were met with silence as he radioed for backup. That’s when I remembered—I had installed the dashcam just last week.
