How an Officer's $25 Shoplifting Call Shut Down an Interstate

Here's a case that's still going through the court system, but we got some of the footage to breakdown in this BCW video when an officer responded to a shoplifting call at a gas station that ended on I-95 with the suspect's car on its side. Note on Value-Add Editing: This video is our editorially transformed breakdown, shortened and reorganized to add narrative structure, clarity, and contextual understanding regarding the officers' actions and key decisions during their search for the suspect. Footage in this video has been obtained directly from the relevant law enforcement agency.
