Calvin Jones was apparently
kidnapped, choked unconscious, and caged in his underwear, all for wanting to know why he was pulled over in a traffic stop by Taylor police.
It all started when Jones and his wife were pulled over by a Taylor Police Department officer in April 2016. At the same time the officers' dashcam was recording, Jones' wife was also recording the incident on her cell phone.
Michigan law states a citizen is required to present identification upon request. The video shows Jones refused at first, only wanting to know what crime he was suspected of committing.
That's when the conflict escalated. The unnamed officer told Jones he was going to be arrested if he didn't present his ID.
Again, Jones asked to know what crime he was suspected of committing. Instead of explaining the reason for the stop and the subsequent reason for being arrested, the officer chose to grab the car window, break it, and drag Jones out through his window.
Jones told the ACLU he was then choked unconscious. His wife was also arrested when she refused to hand over her cell phone, choosing instead to toss the phone.
Presumably, she didn't want the police to erase her cell phone footage of the incident as TFTP has reported often occurs.
