Police smashed elderly driver's windscreen after stopping him for not wearing a seat belt | News.com.au
TWO police officers have been suspended after they stopped a 70-year-old motorist for not wearing a seat belt, smashed in his windscreen and dragged him out of his car.
Robert Whatley's terrifying arrest was caught on video (see below) and the footage shows one officer jumping on the car bonnet and kicking the windscreen and the other hitting the glass 15 times with his baton until it smashed.
Mr Whatley, who had recently suffered a stroke and has a heart condition, told The Daily Mail: "The police went completely over the top – you would have thought I had robbed a bank.
"I was terrified when they started smashing in the window and trying to kick in the windscreen."
Mr Whatley, from Usk, in Wales, was originally stopped for not wearing a seat belt.
Jeez.... just imagine what would have happened if his tail light was out.
