The New Jersey police officer rifled through the driver’s pockets, socks and his car — and found nothing, Philly.com reported.
State police Trooper Joseph Drew had said he smelled marijuana after pulling the motorist over for tailgating in Burlington County on March 8, 2017, the publication reported, but the 23-year-old driver said he didn’t have any drugs on him, according to court documents and body camera footage.
The trooper can be heard on video saying “if you think this is the worst I’m going to do, you have another thing coming, my friend,” the footage shows, Philly.com reported.
Drew is later seen putting his hand down the man’s pants and into his underwear while wearing latex gloves, the video shows, WKXW reported. The man starts screaming about how ridiculous it is and even shouts that he’s being raped.
