Here in Northwest Louisiana, if you are stopped and the police say I have you on video swerving, violating traffic laws, or something to that effect, don’t panic. As a former prosecutor and now criminal defense attorney, I can tell you that the dash cam can easily save you. I have read numerous warrants, and the officers often say they pulled my client over because he was driving erratically or swerving.
When we get the videos, that often is not the case; that video can protect you. And by all means, don’t admit to it, especially if it isn’t true, because you are justifying what the officer is doing. People often panic and agree with whatever the officer says, even if it isn’t true, and you are simply justifying their actions.
