Police are accused of placing evidence during a traffic stop in Tallahassee.

A routine traffic stop on a calm and peaceful May evening in Tallahassee turned into a terrifying ordeal for Calvin Riley. The incident has sparked allegations of misconduct against the Tallahassee Police Department, raising serious concerns about the line between law enforcement and unethical behavior.
It all started when Riley was pulled over by a 26-year-old recruit from the TPD while driving his white Mercedes Benz on South Monroe Street. What followed was a nightmare for Riley, as he found himself entangled in a legal battle, facing accusations of planted evidence and a confrontation with the law.
According to Riley, the night nearly ruined his life. In a 44-minute-long body camera footage, the officers can be seen trying to come up with charges to arrest Riley, even going as far as planning to administer a voluntary field sobriety test.
Despite Riley's refusal to take the test, the officers shifted their focus from marijuana to alcohol and poured a liquid onto the street outside Riley's car, claiming to have found an open bottle of vodka inside. However, Riley vehemently denied these allegations.
At first, the officers claimed that Riley smelled like marijuana, but once he was in the back of the patrol car, they suddenly changed their story and said he smelled like alcohol. This inconsistency raised doubts about the officers' intentions and actions.
As Riley sat in the back of the patrol car, the officers searched through his vehicle but found nothing. However, Officer Oliver, who was wearing a body camera, can be heard narrating that they found vodka in Riley's seat. She also pointed out an insulated stainless steel cup in the center console, claiming it smelled like alcohol.
However, the body camera footage does not show the officers actually smelling the cup or removing it from the console. Riley maintains that the cup contained his preferred drink, Arizona Green Tea, and the footage also showed multiple bottles of the same drink in his backseat.
Amidst the chaos, the officers made a strategic move by transferring Riley to a different patrol car, possibly to shift responsibility for drafting the arrest report. This has raised questions about the legality of their actions, with allegations that Officer Oliver violated TPD policy, despite her claims to the contrary.
As the case progresses in court, Judge Jason Jones is presiding over pretrial motions, trying to determine the admissibility of evidence and the conduct of the officers during the traffic stop. However, for Riley, the road ahead remains uncertain as his trial date approaches.
