Title: Technologically Challenged Cops Assault Teen then Try to Delete Video, They Failed

Virginia Beach, VA– In January, 18-year-old Courtney Griffith was pulled over for the light on her license plate being out. Concerned by the officer’s aggressive behavior and knowing her rights, she propped her cell phone up on the dashboard to capture the incident.

After brutalizing her 17-year-old friend and taking them both into custody, the officers attempted to delete the footage. Luckily, the video went to a “recently deleted” file on her iPhone and was able to be recovered.

The young mother had just pulled into her driveway with the father of her child as well as her 17-year-old friend Brandon. As they turned in, police officers who were following her turned on their lights and pulled her over, citing the light above her license plate. One of the officers who pulled her over, Officer Pittman, was the same officer who had previously arrested her as a minor for possession of marijuana, something she maintains she no longer touches. Griffith believes that he had remembered her from their previous encounter.

The officers proceeded to tell the teenagers that the vehicle smelled like marijuana and demand that the passengers step out of the vehicle. At this point, there were four cop cars on the scene over a broken license plate light and the alleged smell of marijuana. Brandon, being a minor, repeatedly requested that his parents be present.

Griffith asks if she is being detained and the officers reply that she is. At this point, an officer moves the front passenger seat forward and instructs the teens to keep their hands visible at all times, after asking another officer to “go cover the driver.”

The teenagers are asked to step out of the vehicle. Brandon continues to request his parents be present while Griffith is heard calling the officer out on being the same cop that had previously pulled her over. Things begin to escalate, and the sensible young woman requests a sergeant be present to avoid her rights being further infringed.

An officer is heard grunting an order at Brandon and his eyes widen as he asks Griffith to make sure she is recording. As he is speaking, he is shot in the eyes with pepper spray.

“I’m seventeen years old, stop!” he cries out as the pepper spray burns his eyes. He states that he is calling his mother and repeats that he is only a minor as the officers threaten to tase him.

Moments later he is hit with another round of pepper spray and tased. As he cries out in pain, the officers continue to grunt at him to get out of the vehicle.

“Get out, or you’re going to get it again!” the officer states.

“Alright,” Brandon complies. As he begins to step out of the vehicle, he’s shot with another volt of electricity from the officer’s taser, seemingly for no reason at all.

The officers begin beating him and screaming at him, continuing to escalate the situation and making things as hectic as possible. Brandon was ultimately tased four times. Eight cops were on the scene, with at least five of them involved in the assault on the unarmed teen.

At the end of the video, you can see an officer looking around the vehicle with a flashlight and then shutting off the camera. Griffith told The Free Thought Project that this was the Sargent she had requested to come to the scene. She believes he is the one who attempted to delete the footage.

“They arrested me, never Mirandized me or Brandon, and they sent me off with a summons. When I went back to my car, my phone had been brought off the dashboard and was on the drivers seat. I asked the cops who deleted the video, after looking for it in my folder, and they all started laughing. It was sickening. I later found it in my recently deleted folder,” Griffith told The Free Thought Project.

Brandon is currently imprisoned until July on charges of assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest.

Please share this story widely and message the Virginia Beach Police to demand they conduct an investigation into these officer’s actions.

Duty by a US Citizen to obey a "command" issued by a local yahoo, keystone kop that graduated from POLICE STATE AKADEMY... where is that written in the US Constitution?

The 4th amendment is a guaranteed right of yours absent PROBABLE CAUSE... and a guaranteed right for the police to your persons and property if you should supply that PROBABBLE CAUSE.

TO WIT, LE smelled pot in the car. TO WIT, pot was found. TO WIT; the officers actions were condtitutionally PROTECTED. Those potheads Kan either Komply with a constitutionally lawfull order to get out of the Kar or be tased.

Your Konstitutional sKolarship is showing. lol

How about reporting if police smell weed coming from your car they don’t need permission to search everywhere in your car, and the people in it for one. Secondly, instead of updating with more divisive facebook post, update it with the facts that WAVY news reported on so easily. First the Police found weed in the purse that they attached to the female in the video,

Cops claiming they "smell" weed in the car could have been a fabrication on their part. It's a convenient alibi, since if they don't find any they can always claim, well, that they honestly thought they did and then the search is justified.

Cops may also have planted weed in her purse after the stop. Cops planting evidence is not unheard of. Knowing the girl had a prior incident with weed would make planting weed fairly safe for them to do.

If the cop stopped the camera from video recording, then that is something he had no reason nor right to do, regardless of whether he went further and attempted to delete it. Do whatever search is truly justified, but don't shut off recording devices. Attempting to delete the vid, if true, would constitute tampering and/or destruction of evidence, a crime if done by anyone, including of course cops.

Seems to me the use of the tazer was excessive, that after the first zap (regardless of whether that was appropriate) the kid was zapped again after he began to get out, in spite of there being about zero warning. Cops said to get out, he said, "alright" and began to move, and was zapped again. I've seen that before, where cops zap someone just as the person begins to comply, since that's the cop's last chance to harm the person involved.

Why was pepper spray employed? I can see pepper spray being used to stop someone who is attempting to get physical, which this kid was not, even if he was mouthy. Same for tazing, actually.

The kid was charged with assault and battery, and resisting arrest, apparently for actions that occurred AFTER he was pepper sprayed and tazed. How much of one's reaction, during and after being tazed and pepper sprayed, in the presence of numerous cops while being himself grabbed and forced to the ground in an escalated situation can be considered voluntary?

To me the vid shows cops escalating the situation unnecessarily. And it all starts over the horrible crime of a license plate bulb allegedly being out? I'd like to see the police dash cam on this one.

You make good points, especially the one about the initial reason for the stop, a license plate light out.

absolutely correct. Yes it could. So what do you suggest. Because an officers senses "could be fabricated, has been fabricated in past history or isn't 100% proven by you on a polical forum, they shouldn't be allowed to use them for PC?

At some point, all it looks like you desire isn't what is right or wrong... just how laws can be violated without detection.

What I suggest is doing away with laws that don't serve any public good, such as outlawing a plant that's been growing on this earth long before the alphabet was invented.

When cops deal with real crimes that actually have victims then, issues of probable cause hold a lot more water.

Yeh - he's a hardened criminal all right.

I'm at the a point where these anti-cop narratives can't be believed. There's an epidemic of attention whores, punks, and "do-what-I-want!" anarchists who appear to be setting up all LE as perpetual, ubiquitous evil bullies.

Are we all supposed to believe THIS is exactly how it all went down? REALLY??:

" Concerned by the officer’s aggressive behavior and knowing her rights, she propped her cell phone up on the dashboard to capture the incident. After brutalizing her 17-year-old friend and taking them both into custody..."

The embellishment of the "reporting" (coming from this source, expected) is purposely inflammatory and exaggerated. A LOT of presumption here. And presumably, perhaps too much cop-baiting, knowing the cell phone cam was activated.

Of course you don't see a problem with cops trying to destroy evidence, do you?

I'd be willing to wager that the "evidence" indicts the perp as big mouth, baiting punks. No, the cops 'tudes probably didn't help the matter either.
