Appeal of traffic stop findings comes before Citizens Police Review Board
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Columbia Citizens Police Review Board reviewed a traffic stop from September that gained attention on social media and called into question a police officer s response.
The Columbia Police Department last week released a video explaining the reason for the stop and the full body cam video of the stop.
In the video, police cite three hazardous moving violations as the reason for the stop: speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road and not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign.
Several questions were raised about a portion of the stop that circulated around social media, as some felt officers escalated the situation by detaining the driver and passenger.
