Body camera video shows Georgia police officers laughing as they use a coin-flip app to decide whether to detain a woman during a traffic stop. The video shows Roswell police Officer Courtney Brown asking Sarah Webb whether she knew how fast she was going. Webb apologizes, saying she was late for work, and Brown tells her to turn off the car and hand over her keys. Brown then returns to her car to consult with fellow officers about whether to arrest Sarah Webb or just give her a ticket. “What do you think?†one of the officers asks. Brown says she didn’t record the actual speed at which Webb had been driving. She then can be heard saying, “Hold on,†as she opens a coin-flip app on her phone. Officer Kristee Wilson suggests that heads should mean arrest and tails should mean release. Brown agrees and flips the coin in the app. “This is tails, right?†Wilson asks. “Yeah, so release?†Brown responds. But then Wilson suggests a police code for arrest, and the two can be heard laughing. The officers decide to charge Webb with going too fast for conditions and reckless driving.
Brown then arrests Webb, handcuffing her and putting her in the back of a patrol car. Police Chief Rusty Grant said in an emailed statement Friday that as soon as he found out about the incident he started an internal investigation and put the two officers on administrative leave. He said he couldn’t discuss details as the investigation is ongoing. “I have much higher expectations of our police officers and I am appalled that any law enforcement officer would trivialize the decision making process of something as important as the arrest of a person,†Grant said. The television station reports that the charges against Webb were dropped. Webb said she didn’t know that her fate had relied on a coin toss until the television station contacted her. “Wow, these people put my freedom in the hands of a coin flip,†she said. “And that’s disgusting.â€

it broke my heart to hear this woman quietly crying in the back of a squad car, on her way to jail, after totally complying, and begging for a ticket, while, out of the scores of vids i've watched, she is the 2nd person to not resist arrest or attack officers (the first was the father of the 10 yr old restrained by cops).
my concern was, how could you flip a coin, to decide on someone's liberty, freedom, and rights? that is so far gone, there are no words.
Here's an example of a bad cop! No reasons to arrest her…
Looks like for this officer, discretion comes down to flip of a coin.
Is she fr? 😳
Who cares about the coin flip. That lady could have killed somebody
Using a coin flip to determine someone's fate? Imagine if that cop is Anton Chigurh himself.
Now, this is a serious country, being a south american, I LOVE NORTH AMERICA!!!
Ever morning I hear the sirens and I wonder who is splattered across the highways.
I am usually massively supportive of officer actions, but this was a pure and simple flippant power trip. Disgusting. Very pleased to see that their employment has been terminated.
Glad to see it took 5 fucking cops to arrest a compliant driver. Fucking pigs, cops like this make me absolutely hate every single fucking cop I see. They are all the same, power hungry retards that got bullied in high school / significant other keeps cheating on them because they are fucking losers.
Women should not be cops
Well there are bad cops who do stupid things but she was going how fast on a wet road? No one has brought that up. She could have killed someone.
Tyrant
Police abuse
The cop was HOT AS HELL. She can come and arrest me anytime.
Since when can a cop say hand over your keys. Next it will be your phone. Then your wallet then your credit card. Defund the cops.
What gives the officer the right to search your vehicle and personal belongings without a warrant to do so? Unbelievable
"What do you think"…"I wanna do this"…"what do you think" tell Karen what you think already.
she is a Karen👩ðŸ¼â€ðŸ¦±ðŸ‘©ðŸ»â€ðŸ¦±
When you give a gun to complex bitch
These Cops are the dumbest trash i ever saw hopefully i See them flipping there Last Coin under a Bridge
I don't understand the point to arrest them. They just take them to the jail, process them and a few hours later they are OR out. Complete waste of time. Also why impound the vehicle when someone is willing to come get it?
Apparently this is no country for old men
Why didn't the driver freak out and tell her that she isn't a bad gal, and she doesn't want to be arrested? It's like the police don't even listen to criminals anymore. How sad.
you could tell even her own coworkers don’t like her
