Tyreek Hill's Traffic Citations Dismissed After Police Officers Miss Court Hearing

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver's controversial September traffic stop led to viral footage and internal police scrutiny.

Tyreek Hill's traffic citations for careless driving and a seatbelt violation were dismissed after Miami-Dade officers failed to appear in court.
The September 8 traffic stop outside Hard Rock Stadium escalated when officers forcibly removed Hill from his car and handcuffed him face down on the ground.
Bodycam footage and bystander videos of the incident sparked criticism of the officers' conduct, leading to one officer being placed on administrative leave.
Hill's attorney argued the officers' absence from court suggests awareness of misconduct, while the Miami-Dade Police Department attributed it to an oversight.
Hill has criticized the officers' actions, alleging excessive force, and stated the incident worsened an existing wrist injury he has been playing through this season.
