Newly released body camera footage shows Nevada officers repeatedly asking the children of a Black woman who is deaf to interpret for her as she was being detained, which advocates say is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The North Las Vegas Police Department released the footage Thursday, nearly two months after Andrea Hollingsworth was handcuffed in front of her 11-year-old twin daughters.
The body camera video provides a new perspective on the incident, which was also captured by Hollingsworth on
Facebook Live. Hollingsworth's video, which now has more than 77,000 views, sparked backlash last month from the local chapters of the
NAACP and
ACLU and advocates from the deaf community.
The video shows an officer pulling Hollingsworth out of the car and instructing her to sit on the curb, as she tries to communicate that she can't hear. The officer tells the family she was being stopped because a friend had reported Hollingsworth was "stalking and harassing" them.
The children told police that Hollingsworth had recently moved out of an apartment and was trying to get $200 of rent money back.
