YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Shawn Bresnahan, a resident and local mechanic in Greenbrier, AR had his world turned upside down after taking his newly repaired car for a test drive. Due to a clerical error, Bresnahan had a suspended license at the time. Local cops were all-too-quick to take advantage of this by confronting and arresting Bresnahan in his own driveway. Not satisfied with publicly humiliating Bresnahan and placing him in handcuffs, the police also impounded Bresnahan's $30,000 vehicle, a decision which Bresnahan says has cost him dearly. Stephen Janis and Taya Graham of the Police Accountability Report investigate the case as an illustrative example of the lack of accountability in small town police departments.

Production: Stephen Janis, Taya Graham
