A family is demanding justice after an Ohio police officer searched their 5-year-old child’s pocket when his dad was pulled over during a routine traffic stop.
Brandon Wilson said he was driving his Volkswagen SUV across the street to his mother’s home when Parma Police officers pulled him over at around 9:20 p.m. on Dec. 26, WOIO reported.
He said the officers pulled him over because his plates had expired and his front tinted window was too dark.
Wilson, whose son was in the car with him, said the cops opened his driver’s side door, questioned him, and then asked him to get out of his vehicle. He complied, and his son followed.
Video recorded by the boy’s uncle shows Wilson being searched by cops with his hands up in the air with his son at his side.
One of the officers is then seen leaning over and appears to search the 5-year-old’s pockets while his hands are raised in the air.
