Zachary Noel and his friend Steven were driving into Salina, KS for a tattoo convention when they came upon a red light in a construction zone approximately 10:30 at night, so they stop.
The passenger in the vehicle, Steven, tells the Free Thought Project that they saw a “cop hanging out in the construction zone with a reflective vest on.. and a police van parked in the construction area.”
According to Steven, this was some type of “checkpoint,” which was more like a cop just hanging around in a construction zone harassing motorists.
The officer in the reflective vest walks over to the vehicle and sticks his head in the passenger side window, where Steven was sitting.
