Our client was parked in his drive way, scrolling down his Facebook timeline, when officers approached his vehicle with guns drawn. After some intense moments, where officers threatened to shoot him, our client was yanked from his vehicle, and was subsequently charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon.
Temani immediately ordered the body camera footage from the police department. What is showed was startling. Temani went to speak with the prosecutor before the first court setting. Temani was able to show that our client was on his own property, and in his own vehicle. As a result, he was not unlawfully carrying a weapon, because the law allows a person to possess a firearm in their car or on their property. The case was dismissed before its first court setting.
