BRUNSWICK COUNTY, Va. -- After an accusation of racism during a Virginia traffic stop went viral, the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office has released a full, uninterrupted body cam video of the incident.

Behind the wheel of her car and live on Facebook, Dawn Hilton-Williams described a traffic stop on Route 58 westbound in rural Brunswick County.

"I was just bullied by a racist cop, who threatened to pull me out of the car," said Hilton-Williams in the 11-minute long Facebook video.

"This is where we got lynched. This is where we got lynched, even in today's day."

The traffic stop happened on April 27, when Hilton-Williams was heading home to Greensville, South Carolina after watching her daughter play in a tennis tournament.

In the video, Hilton-Williams said she feared for her life.

"I mean pulling you out of a car doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you are African-American and you get pulled out of the car you get shot or you get Tased, or you get Sandra Blanded," said Hilton-Williams.

"I said 'I’m not putting my signature on that ticket.' He said 'if you don't sign this ticket, then I'm going to pull you out of the car and I'll arrest you, and I'll impound the car,'" she said tearfully in the video.

The Facebook video would soon go viral with nearly 800 shares and brought to the attention of Brunswick County Sheriff Brian Roberts after receiving dozens of calls from concerned citizens.

"I started getting calls from citizens asking what is going on. They had seen a posting and were concerned about how I would allow it to happen," said Roberts.

After reviewing body cam footage of the traffic stop, Roberts said the stop was completely by the book, and his deputy did nothing wrong.

What is it about Negros wanting to get arrested for refusing to sign a ticket? Is it in some NAACP handbook on how to get rich playing the race card?

Here’s McKinney city councilman La’Shadion Shemwell playing the game. Oops for him, that cop had a body cam as well.

You live by the sword (demanding cops wear body cameras),
you die by the sword (your BS lies are exposed by the very thing you demanded).

I got a speeding ticket by a Va State Trooper on that very same Route 58 going east in Brunswick County, Va. I was clocked doing 67 mph in a 55 mph zone. It was my fault, not paying attention. I noticed when he wrote the ticket, I was “2 mph over the limit.” They give you 9 - 10 mph. Sent in the $130.00 and learned my lesson. Pay attention to Rt 58; they are always watching.

When the ticket is issued, your signature is acknowledgement that you got the ticket...and nothing more.

If you refuse to acknowledge receipt, then you are refusing to allow the interaction to end. Simple as that.

I don’t think you can be arrested for not signing a ticket.

No. you're arrested for the infraction. The ticket lets you get on with your day.

No. You're arrested for the infraction. The ticket lets you get on with your day in place of being arrested.

Wow! Even after this woman is exposed she still keeps lying!
She looks like a fool! Yet these are the types of lies that get police killed while they are just sitting in their vehicles. She needs to be jailed for slander.
