video shows difficulty officers can face during traffic stops - South Euclid Police

On June 16th 2020 at 4:37 pm a South Euclid Police Department, (Ohio) officer on patrol stopped a vehicle
for driving with an expired license plate, and the operator
not wearing a safety belt.

After running the operators license, it was learned the 22 year old Richmond Heights man had multiple license suspensions and under Ohio law, not permitted to drive.

Rather than arrest and impound, the officer requested the man summon a licensed driver to the scene, he would then be provided a citation and released.

The man told the officer he did not know a licensed driver, so a tow truck was ordered.

The following video is from one of the officers body worn camera.

It should be noted that any point after receiving his citation, the motorist was free to leave.
