Solano Sheriff's Deputy Dalton McCampbell body cam video of arrest of Nakia Porter on Aug. 6, 2020

Описание: Body camera video released by attorney Yasin Almadani of the arrest of Nakia Porter on Aug. 6, 2020, by Deputies Dalton McCampbell and Lisa McDowell.

Porter and her father were stopped in rural Dixon, California. Porter said she was driving from Oakland to her home in Sacramento County but had grown tired of driving so pulled over so her father could take over. They did not realize when they parked on the dark dead-end street that Solano Sheriff’s McCampbell and McDowell were behind her.

The deputies approached Porter after she got out of the car, told her to get back in the car, and as she moved back toward the driver’s door, decided to detain her. They pushed her against her car, handcuffed her, and then pulled her back toward their patrol car. Deputies alleged that she struck McCampbell in the face, but no video shows the assault. Video does show that they hit Porter, who weighs 125 pounds, until she was unconscious.

The deputies said they stopped Porter because she had a Maryland license plate on the front of her car. Porter said she had forgotten to change the plate after she moved. The deputies eventually confirmed the car was hers, but took her to jail on suspicion of obstructing a police officer. The district attorney’s office declined to prosecute.

Porter sued the sheriff's office on Aug. 18, 2021.
