A motorcyclist said he was was stopped at a traffic light when a King County, Washington, detective approached him on foot with a gun.
The incident happened on 145th and Fifth between Shoreline and Seattle and was caught on the motorcyclist’s helmet camera.
During the encounter, the detective, who didn’t show a badge or identify himself, asked to see the motorcyclist’s ID, the motorcyclist said.
The video then shows the detective pulling the motorcyclist’s wallet out of his pocket.
The deputy told the motorcyclist he was driving recklessly and putting others in danger.
KIRO-TV showed the video to King County Sheriff John Urquhart. As soon as he saw that video, Urquhart suspended the detective, and he called the motorcyclist to apologize.
