Officer Live Streams Traffic Stop On TikTok

This is a crazy story:

There were real implications of sharing the victim’s personal information via the stream:

Approximately 20 minutes later, Osby found out that Castillo had livestreamed the traffic stop when Internet user “Stanley Sensational” reached out to Osby on Facebook. “Stanley” told Osby that he had found him on Facebook using the information Castillo shared on Osby’s driver’s license.

We haven’t done a criminal case on https://ecrimebytes.com yet, and this might be a good one when more information becomes public.

The court document can be found here:
