Providence Police released a traffic stop video of Christian Barmore of the Patriots

Providence (RI) police released a video of their officers’ traffic stop of New England Patriots player Christian Barmore.

The defensive attack was stopped early in the morning of October 16th. The video shows an angry Barmore and police in a verbal altercation.

“The vehicle had tinted windows all around and a license plate cover on the temporary license plate, which caused problems reading the information,” the police report states.

Authorities saw a temporary registration number with an unknown state.

“We then activated our skylights to signal that it was stopping,” the report said. “It should be noted that the driver of the vehicle then slowly rolled off Elmwood Ave and Bridgham St, eventually coming to a stop in front of 343 Broad St. This tactic is known to police by slowing interaction with police.” Do not hide contraband or weapons. It should also be noted that the area is known for high drug consumption.”

WHDH reported that the vehicle was towed and Barmore was issued a citation for operating an unregistered vehicle, displaying a license plate violation and driving with an expired registration.

“Due to Barmore’s belligerent behavior and our unwillingness to remain on scene, we left his citation in the vehicle along with his driver’s license and documents,” the police report states. “It should be noted that the VIN was carried through Channel 4 and returned from Maine under a different name with an expired registration.”

A statement from Providence Police was released regarding the traffic stop.

“The Providence Police Department takes all public concerns very seriously and with the utmost professionalism. In the present case, during a routine traffic stop, it was discovered that the vehicle in question was unregistered, which constitutes a violation of the law. The officer acted in full accordance with department protocols and state regulations. We understand that any interaction with law enforcement can be stressful. However, it is important to note that officers are required to enforce all applicable laws, including those related to vehicle registration. We will continue to review the situation to ensure proper procedures have been followed and transparency with the public is maintained.”
