@crimenightly: 📍Arizona What began as a routine traffic stop ended with a moment of encouragement that neither the officer nor the driver will likely forget. After being stopped for a traffic violation during a DUI enforcement operation, the driver told the officer he was actually happy to be pulled over because he was 37 days sober. He explained that it was the first time in decades he had been stopped by police without the fear and anxiety that came from driving under the influence. The officer congratulated him on his progress, acknowledged the difficult battle he was fighting, and chose to issue a warning instead of a citation. Before letting him go, the officer encouraged him to keep moving forward and continue his recovery journey. Sometimes bodycam footage captures more than enforcement. It captures second chances. #Police #Bodycam #Sobriety #Arizona #RecoveryJourney
