A recent college graduate in Utah was shot several times by police during a traffic stop in early March after officers allegedly saw him reaching for a gun, body camera video shows.
Farmington, Utah, police department officers stopped 25-year-old Chase Allan after seeing an illegitimate license plate on the BMW car he was driving at 3:22 p.m. on March 1. Police Chief Eric Johnsen released body camera video relating to the incident on Wednesday.
When the police officer told Allan that he was being stopped because there was no registration on the car, Allan said, “I don’t need registration and I don’t answer questions.” The officer requested backup, and four other officers arrived at the scene.
The officer continued to ask for identification, and Allan, after multiple refusals, provided a passport.

“If you want my identification, you will be under duress, and you accept surety and trusteeship over it, and you will be responsible for any debts that you are trying to incur here,” Allan told the officer.
“You are not allowed to stop me,” Allan said before handing over his passport.
When the officer reads the passport, Allan said, “That is not me. That is a piece of plastic paper.”
“So you have a fraudulent passport?,” the officer asked, to which Allan responded “no.”
The officer then asked Allan to step out of the car, and he replied “No, I am not required to.”
