On January 31, 2022, Brian Beckett was traveling home from work, driving Northbound on WV Route 19 in Mount Hope, West Virginia (NOTE: WEST VIRGINIA – NOT NEW YORK). It was around 5:45 p.m. He ended up getting pulled over for speeding by Mount Hope Police Department officer Aaron Shrewsbury. Instead of getting a speeding ticket, or even a warning, Mr. Beckett ended up being pulled out of his car and arrested for obstructing an officer, disorderly conduct, speeding, and reckless driving.
Mr. Beckett was driving home from an industrial work site in a nearby county. He’s not a criminal – not out selling drugs or committing crimes – just trying to drive down the road. He had a dash camera recording, which appears to show that he was driving safely. It doesn’t indicate his speed, but that’s not what this video is about.
Officer Shrewsbury would subsequently swear under oath in his criminal complaint affidavit, seeking court authorization for Mr. Beckett’s arrest, that not only did he radar Mr. Beckett speeding, but that “as I was catching up to the vehicle, I noticed the vehicle weaving through traffic recklessly” but that “I was able to pull behind the vehicle and get it stopped….” Take a look at the dash cam footage from Mr. Beckett’s car just prior to the traffic stop, and see if that statement appears to you to be true.
Mr. Beckett used his personal cell phone to record his interaction with Officer Shrewsbury. Despite the officer stopping the video and attempting to delete the recording from Mr. Beckett’s phone, the officer couldn’t access it. During arrest processing, the officer was placing the phone in front of Mr. Beckett’s face in order to attempt to unlock the phone using facial recognition, to no avail. So he was unable to delete this footage, which shows the encounter, what led to Mr. Beckett’s arrest, and the fact that Officer Shrewsbury stopped the recording.
But it only gets worse….

where the video of the trial where he was fired …
This is what tyrannical ego men does when their feelings get hurt!!! This is DISGUSTING. Obstruction and resisting are bullshit charges that tyrants Charge ppl with when they HAVE ZERO Crimes being committed
Local magistrate judges are just as much of a problem as officers like this one. It seems like they only exist to rubber stamp whatever the local police want.
Why do so many of these losers think they’re allowed to criminalize foul language
FREE SPEECH! It DOESN'T MATTER if someone is OFFENDED. DEMAND unconstitutional laws be removed or changed!!!!
Why TH are police being ALLOWED to REMAIN POLICE when they are UNCERTIFIED???!!!!!! WHY ISN'T HE IN JAIL FOR BREAKING SOMEONE'S JAW???!!!
TALK TO YOUR CONGRESSMEN & SENATORS! DEMAND that UNCERTIFIED COPS no longer remain cops!!!! Think of what it TAKES to UNCERTIFY a cop!!! DEMAND that they support YOU, NOT POLICE!!!
Especially when Deputy Shrewsbury called Mr. Becket a GDCS.
How is it that a n officer that has lost his certification to be a police officer allowed to be hired and to work in the capacity of a police officer?
Keep up your good work! God bless you
Law-enforcement wants our trust and respect but they higher individuals like this, and wonder why the public does not trust them or respect them.
what free nation John??
This is pretty par for the course Virginia and WV traffic cops are not much more than ye old highwayman.
this aaron shrewsberry is a real piece fo shit, cant believe hes still in the military.
I knew officer Tackleberry was a slob before I even saw him on video. Police departments are hiring weaklings who abuse their badge and gun. They should stop hiring cowards who harass innocent people and cower when they have to stand up to a criminal.
Wow hes a proven liar
Illegal entry of his car
The courts make a lot of money through bonds on these cases, as long as that continues this is what we will get.
Officer purgery tyrant here…I bust people for nothing…I am the law..understand..
He's a bully. He has authority, gun and immunity. Who's going to stand up to him and live to tell about it?
I feel afraid for what is coming in this country, because of this kind of conduct. It will stop.
One time you were found falsifying anything in the mil you were GONE. Never to be given a opportunity serve again. Bad COnduct Discharg and a loss of security cleareance forever..Our standards of police are so low..this cop would of got fragged…in bootcamp…before he could of ever been a problem…jeshh
Thanks.
Local police," serving the community with lack of integrity!"
EARNING THE HATE 24/7 ! 👎👎👎🐷🐷🐷🤡🤮🤮
Thugs and bullies have only been hired for decades.
Dude….that written statement by the cop. Did he even graduate from high school?
MY BLOOD PRESSURE GOES SKY HIGH WHENEVER I WATCH VIDEOS LIKE THIS. AND THE RIGHT SUGGESTS THAT WE FEAR DRAG QUEENS WHEN THESE TYRANTS ARE IN PUBLIC WITH GUNS, BADGES AND TASERS. WHO'S THE REAL DANGER IN THIS COUNTRY?
I had W.V. police pull me over for window tint on a brand new Tahoe with factory tint and privacy glass. He didn't like the privacy glass. He said i can't see in the back of your vehicle. I said that's the whole point of privacy glass from the factory. 100% legal. I had to demand a supervisor who set him straight. Of course he wanted to make shit up after the fact, but the supervisor sent me on my way. You could tell he was pissed. The W.V. police are terrible. I hate driving through there and avoid it now.
Our criminal justice system is broken at every level in this country. It has been weaponized against the citizens and by those in power to punish political rivals. It’s sad what has happened to this country.
I watch just for the picking at the end, It really reflects law enforcement culture to a tee. Hillbilly picking.
Bullshit isn't bad language 😂
What's a male cow called? What do they do after eating?
Bull's shit!!!
FTP!!!!
The problem is it’s in the municipality to defend the officer. If the copy is disciplined it opens the city up to liability.
I do honestly and genuinely believe it should be required for individual LEO’s or their department to purchase 3rd private liability insurance. Bad officers will jack premiums up for the city and good cops we be incentivized to stay god.
Mount hope – off the list of places to visit
17:58 hungry for justice.
It's nice when the bastard admits he's arresting the driver for being an asshole.
There is no speed in the video but Google says that section of road in the video would take approx 3 minutes to traverse. In the video it takes him approx 3 minutes and 20 seconds. So he's actually going slower than the speedlimit. Combine this with the attempted destruction of evidence and it's clear this officer pulled over this car for no reason at all.
This cop must been flying to catch up, put innocent peoples lives in danger for his adrenalin fix. He targeted him.
This from a observer. It felt fast. But he was passing a 1/4 mile markers at around 23 second. which is slower then 65 mph.
The speed he was going could easily be calculated based on the time elapsed and markers passed to likely disprove his speed allegations if they were exaggerated not that the speed was the real issue.
So now cops are trying to delete dash-cams. Scary
A downright disgrace to say the least. I believe he should be sued and then imprisoned.
