An internal investigation has revealed that Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina intentionally turned off his body camera after crashing into another driver earlier this year. The incident occurred on February 17 when Medina and his wife were in an unmarked police pickup truck on their way to a press conference.
Medina claimed that he stopped at a red light and witnessed a confrontation between two individuals, one of whom fired a gun. Subsequently, surveillance footage showed Medina accelerating through a red light, colliding with another vehicle and causing severe injuries to the other driver.
