Forney police officer to be questioned over Zimmerman stop [View all]

Source: KDFW (Fox 4 Dallas/Fort Worth)

The Forney city manager told FOX4 the officer is not under investigation, but officials are looking into a claim the officer took a picture of Zimmerman's driver's license.

The sound of an iPhone camera ‘click' can be heard on dashcam footage while the officer was in his squad car calling in Zimmerman's driver's license information.

After that you can hear the 'unlock' sound and typing on the keyboard.
