Bodycam footage shows the moments Texas police held an innocent family at gunpoint during a traffic stop related to a stolen car on July 23. The Frisco Police Department said officers entered the wrong license plate information and mistook the family’s Dodge Charger as stolen. The terrified family cried and pleaded their innocence until officers finally realized the mistake. The department issued a statement claiming they won’t hide from their mistakes, but instead, learn from them. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks it down.

I manage restaurants for a living, the fact that i understand a mistake on my watch could kill someone and people with GUNS dont take it seriously is insane. My mistake might upset a stomach or kill someone but I take it seriously and you dont!?
Still looking to give him a ticket
That cop needs to be in charge of the fryer at McDonald's and nothing else! How utterly despicable!
Okay, the family collected millions due to this right?
I am sorry … hey that's cool my grand-children will attend college on YOU.
I made a mistake, whatever .. okay your job is gone, your pension is gone, you are prevented from holding any police position for life.
The Police wouldn''t want ME on a Jury in this case, ALL of the police would be homeless and eating bologna.
Their GRAND-children will attend college with the proceeds from the lawsuit.
Americans should at least get there Areas right (Wich State as Initial Terms). Even if he has a weapon, Police should at least investigate if he is in the right to conceal a weapon in the first place, instead of claiming illegal Carry.
"it was an honest mistake" us all here never bothered to study up on geography
Happens
America is a dictatorial terrorist country

"Sounds like you need to go have a conversation with Arizona."
"Arkansas?"
"Or, uh, Arkansas."
(Facepalm) Nice one McQueen. No it doesn't sound like the vehicle's owner needs to talk to the DMV. Sounds like you need to go back to school. Her punishment should be to memorize all 50 states, and their capitals, and their abbreviations, and she has to recite it every day to her supervisor before she starts her shift for an entire year. That would be justice.
Police Department should be sued and Officers retrained to give accurate information. That poor family
i hope they are offered Counselling, move forward
.
This is disgusting. Why didn't responding POs double check rego plate. Way to reactive. Even when women/owner said she lives Arkansas. 2 POs tried to jutify mistake?
All this for a mistyped licence plate
I guess spelling and knowing your state abreviations is not part of the qualifications for being a police officer smh
my mistake XD , its just for the law suit XD
Liars…. Liars… Liars…..
Brother…….
My bad… Could have cost you and your family y'all life . What's the problem?
It’s amazing how calm cops are when they ruin lives
Dad here see's this brain stem challenged female cop set a guns out felony stop on his family..see's his wife terrified,, sees his son handcuffed and put in a patrol vehicle,, and at the end of this he shakes her hand and say's "Its all good"?? Jesus….
This is embarrassing
This is EXACTLY what happens when your city hires police officers with barely Luke warm iqs. I hope they have to rename the city after their son after they get done with their lawsuit.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen Arkansas abbreviated AK. I live in AR. as well. I hope those young men will learn through good faith to trust the police and go to them if they need help. The lady screwed up, simple as that but she screwed up BAD.
House boys.
just average cops….not even the worse
Wow
This is what is wrong with this country is that we will hire any nut job to carry a gun and not hold them responsible
I hate cops, man.
