Charlotte’s WBTV obtained dash cam video Rep. Cecil Brockman, D-Guilford, being pulled over and questioned by state troopers in Archdale:
The stop begins with Allred trying to pull Brockman over on Main Street in Archdale. In the video, Brockman drives for more than a minute with Allred behind him before pulling over.
Shortly after Allred approached the car, Brockman said he didn’t immediately stop because he didn’t see the trooper’s flashing blue lights in his rear view mirror.
Brockman claims his treatment during the stop was “excessive,” and while the troopers say they ran his vehicle’s PIN number because they didn’t know how to run his N.C. House license plate (not like troopers haven’t pulled House members before) Brockman believes troopers “checked my VIN, for no other reasons than to make sure I had not stolen my own car.”
