During this police bodycam encounter, an officer notices a large can in the vehicle’s cupholder and checks if it could be an open alcohol container. The passenger explains it is sweet tea, not alcohol. Officers must verify potential open container violations during traffic stops because such violations can escalate charges and raise safety concerns. The clip highlights the challenges officers face distinguishing everyday items from potential violations, particularly during nighttime stops with limited visibility. Anthony Folkes, of Fairfield, was indicted on two felony counts stemming from a January arrest when he placed a Hamilton police officer in a chokehold. Folkes was pulled over for a busted passenger headlight and no license plate light, then resisted arrest as he was being placed under arrest following a failed field sobriety test. #bodycam #trafficstop #opencontainer #DUI #policeencounter #fieldfootage
