🚨Watch how this Mississippi highway patrolman treats a man and his family while on a traffic stop for speeding......on Christmas Eve 2022.
Highway 7 | Marshall County, Mississippi
Mississippi Highway Patrol Trooper Cameron Bell stopped a driver named Aaron for speeding on Hwy 7 while Aaron was traveling with his family.
Aaron later said he spent about 12 years in law enforcement; his father was a cop for 30 years and his brother was an Arkansas state trooper.
Dashcam shows Bell made two U-turns before completing the stop.
After contact, Aaron and his wife had trouble finding insurance paperwork. Bell wrote a speeding ticket quickly, handed Aaron his license and the citation, then stepped back from the window.
Aaron, frustrated, tossed the ticket into the glove box.
Bell then ordered him out of the vehicle and arrested him. On camera he threatened to “lock [him] up.”
He later alleged Aaron snatched the ticket from his hand. Video commentary of the stop says the ticket had already been handed over before it went in the glove box.
Bell told the family they would have to bail Aaron out of the Marshall County Jail. During transport he radioed that Aaron had been arrested for speeding.
Aaron was booked, bailed out by family, and spent the rest of Christmas with them.
Speeding is a citation offense. Whether tossing a ticket already in the driver’s possession justified a jail booking is the dispute the video raised.

❓Which attitude got Aaron arrested, his own or the troopers?
❓When agency leadership sees dashcam videos of abuses like this, why do they continue to allow the trooper to work on the highways?
❓Does it surprise you that a Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol trooper would be this petty?
