Dashcam Video From Walter Scott Traffic Stop Released

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division released the dashcam video from North Charleston Police officer Michael Slager’s patrol car on April 4, when he stopped Walter Scott for a broken third brake light. In the footage, Scott tells Slager he does not have insurance and registration on the vehicle because he’s test driving it before buying it. He gives Slager his license, and while Slager is back in his car, Scott takes off running.

In eyewitness video released earlier this week, Slager later shoots Scott in the back, killing him. It’s unclear how much time elapsed between the moment Scott flees his car and the moment the eyewitness video begins. Credit: South Carolina Law Enforcement Division
