Wisconsin Police Officer Attempts To Set A Man Up By Throwing A Plastic Baggie In His Car
Video footage shows a Wisconsin Police officer attempting to set up a black man. The driver caught the officer on camera tossing a plastic baggie into his car and he was stopped speeding. Unfortunately, the police department has claimed there was no wrong doing in the video.
The video was posted by facebook user “La Savoo” and in the video you can hear him stating “what’s that? What did you just throw in here? I got you on camera, bro,” “What’s what?” the officer responds.“Hey bro you just threw that in here,” La Savoo says. Then the video cuts to the backseat showing the bag before cutting out.
This video went viral all over social media because users seem to think the officer was trying do something sketchy.
According to New York Post, La Savoo was pulled over for going 63 mph in a 45 mph zone. The driver was identified with his license, and the two rear passengers, who were not wearing seatbelts were asked to identify themselves and La Savoo and his passengers allegedly declined.
The Police officer wrote in his statement, “The empty corner tear did NOT contain any illegal substance; however, this type of packaging is a common method for holding illegal drugs.”

“The empty corner tear was turned over by the searching officer to another officer who was on scene. That officer turned it over to the officer who is seen on video. Since there were NO DRUGS in the corner tear, the officers discarded the empty packaging material in the vehicle. This is what was observed in the video.” The police officer ended with.
As we still wait for my evidence to be released social media users are looking to get down to the bottom of this! Users want answers on what exactly this officer was trying to do.
