In US news, a Florida police officer has been arrested on felony charges after his own body camera revealed the cop planted drugs during traffic stops gone bad for at least a year. Police officers planting evidence is not unheard of, but a cop planting drugs on this many people is an extreme example of crooked cops and police corruption. The body cam arrest video, as seen in this Now This News clip, include traffic stops caught on tape where the Florida officer is seen planting drugs. The citizens caught in his scheme have seen their charges dismissed.
