Nevada Highway Patrol corruption, dash cam tampering & retaliation - The Mike Weston story

On June 19, 2005, Weston was run off Interstate 80 near the Keystone exit in Reno by two vehicles traveling at extremely high speed. When he returned to the road, he soon came upon a Nevada Highway Patrol cruiser on the shoulder of the highway. Its driver, Officer Edward Bowers, had stopped a large pickup truck and was in process of issuing a citation to the truck's driver. Weston stopped his car behind the trooper's cruiser. After waiting at least three minutes to observe the officer's situation and to determine that the officer was not engaged in a threatening scenario, Weston approached Bowers to report that he had just been run off the road by two reckless drivers who posed a clear and present danger to other vehicles. Significant dialogue discussed during this exchange is not included in an audio-video tape as played during Weston's trial; this proves that evidence was altered to undermine truth. The tape was shot by a camera onboard the NHP cruiser. Moments later, Bowers recognized Weston as a person who had previously criticized him. Bowers' focus shifted to Weston being a critic and he, Bowers, indicated no concern with Weston's close avoidance of what might have been a fatal accident ~ nor with the clear and present danger to other vehicles posed by the two speeding vehicles Weston reported to him. Without issuing a warning to Weston, as mandated by law, Bowers issued a citation to Weston for "obstructing and delaying a peace officer". The audio-video tape mentioned above proves that Bowers did not issue a warning as required by law. Weston was fully cooperative with Bowers; the tape documents this. On August 19, 2005, Weston found himself in a kangaroo court with "Judge" Fidel Salcedo presiding. During this scenario Weston was victimized by editing of the audio-video tape, complete with a doctored timestamp, and by Officer Bowers lying under oath (perjury).
