Is there a text version of this story?

From Gemini:

This video reports a mistaken identity case where a man, Jamie Rogers, was pulled over by the police under the suspicion of driving a stolen car. The car, a Kia SUV, was actually a loaner vehicle provided by the dealership while Jamie’s own car was in for repairs.

The video starts with a police bodycam footage showing the officer yelling at Jamie to step out of the vehicle and put his hands in the air. Jamie complied with the officer’s instructions and expressed confusion about the situation. The officer believed the car was stolen and threatened to shoot Jamie if he did not follow his instructions.

Jamie reported that the whole experience was terrifying. He thought he was going to be shot by the officers. His wife, Natalie, was also very scared after she received a call from the dealership about the stolen car. She worried that Jamie might have been injured or even killed during the police stop.

The misunderstanding arose because the dealership misplaced the loaner agreement. The couple is now suing the dealership because of the psychological trauma they endured. Their lawyer argued that the police report could have been avoided if the dealership had double-checked their records. The video ends with Jamie and Natalie expressing their frustration with the dealership. They are thankful that their children were not in the car during the incident, but they cannot help but shudder to think what could have happened.

Gemini carefully avoiding to mention his fears over how his ethnicity would factor into the police’s response …

That's a fair point, I didn't realize. I'm glad someone was about to provide a summary anyway
