A traffic stop is lawful if a police officer has reasonable, articulable suspicion that you are violating a traffic law or engaging in criminal activity, or if there's a warrant for your arrest, or the stop is a regulated safety inspection like a sobriety checkpoint. An unlawful stop occurs when there is no valid legal basis, such as when the officer cannot articulate specific facts to justify the stop, or the stop is based on discriminatory reasons like racial profiling.

Join host Chief Virgil Green and his guest, Mark Vermylen, a TikTok influencer, whose traffic stop in Windsor has been viewed over one million times on TikTok, as they discuss what makes a traffic stop lawful or unlawful, and his experience and how he followed through with filing an official complaint against the officer.

Join host Chief Virgil Green and his guest, Monty Bynum, CEO and founder of ADB Training, as they discuss whether this is an effective way to combat crime in urban cities and whether the military is a solution.
