George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was recently found not guilty in the murder of Trayvom Martin in Sanford, FL, was pulled over by police for speeding in Forney, Texas. The entire incident was caught on the police dash cam. Upon being pulled over, Zimmerman made the Forney police officer aware of a firearm in his glove compartment at the beginning of the stop. Initially the officer did not realize who Zimmerman was. That was until Zimmerman said to the officer, “You didn’t see my name?” In the end, Zimmerman was given a waring.
According to the police dashcam video obtained by inForney.com, Zimmerman made the Forney police officer aware of a firearm in his glove compartment at the beginning of the stop. After revealing the firearm, the police officer asked where Zimmerman was heading. Zimmerman replied, “nowhere in particular.” “Nowhere in particular, why is that?” responded the officer. “You didn’t see my name?” said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, “wow, what a coincidence.”
The officer then asked if he was clear of warrants to which Zimmerman replied, “absolutely.”
While being questioned by the officer, Zimmerman, who was driving a 2008 Honda pick-up with Florida plates, told the officer that he was armed and was instructed to keep the gun in the car’s glove-compartment.
The officer issued Zimmerman a warning for speeding and then sent him on his way – but not before asking him where he was going, to which he replied ‘nowhere in particular’.
‘Nowhere in particular, why is that?’ responded the officer according to In Forney.com
‘You didn’t see my name?’ said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, ‘wow, what a coincidence.’
The officer then inquired if Zimmerman was free of any warrants for arrest, to which Zimmerman replied, ‘absolutely’.
‘Alright, I’m gonna go back and just check you, routinely,’ said the officer as he checked Zimmerman’s proof of insurance and a driver’s license.
‘The reason you were stopped was for your speed, why don’t you slow down a little bit for me and, as long as you don’t have any warrants, I’ll cut you loose with a warning,’ said the officer to Zimmerman according to In Forney.com.
‘Just take it easy, go ahead and shut your glove compartment and don’t play with your firearm, ok?’
The traffic stop according to InForney.Com lasted approximately five minutes and after being given a warning, Zimmerman was sent on his way – being wished ‘a safe trip’ by the officer.
