Cop SLAMS A Teen Girl To The Ground — Then Her DAD Shows Up (Lawyer Explains)

An 18-year-old high school senior gets pulled over for a headlight — and 90 seconds later she's being dragged out of her car and slammed onto the pavement, because she couldn't find her ID fast enough. Then her dad shows up. And by the end of this, the officer who did it has lost his job, had his own guns seized under a red-flag order, and is facing a federal lawsuit. I'm Brad Graves, a criminal defense attorney, and I break the whole thing down on the real footage: what you're actually required to do at a traffic stop, when a cop CAN legally order you out of the car (Pennsylvania v. Mimms), when the force crosses the line into excessive (Graham v. Connor), and the real defenses that actually work — so you know your rights before the lights come on, not after. ⚖️ Get the plain-English Know Your Rights Playbook: rightsplaybook.gumroad.com ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 — The slam, caught on camera 0:30 — She's 18.
