- Racial profiling? Samuel Johnson stopped by Springfield Police Department
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Samuel Johnson of Springfield is stopped and arrested by Springfield Police. He was stopped for failing to signal his lane change for 100 feet, and the police officer claims Johnson's record shows five arrests for dangerous drugs. Johnson disputes that, saying he was only arrested once for drugs in 2001, but the charges were dropped. The charges against Johnson in this case were also dropped because state law requires signaling for 100 feet before a turn, but not for a lane change.
Video is public record recorded by Springfield Police Department dash cam and obtained through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.

- Description
- Patrick Daniels, director of the radon program for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, demonstrates a Geiger counter on common radioactive items and shows off the agency's demonstration of alpha particles emitted by polonium.

- Date posted

- Description
- In a federal lawsuit filed this month, George Dawson claims that Springfield police used excessive force during an encounter a year ago while a Jerome officer failed to intervene and protect him. To prove his case, Dawson is relying in part on a police video that recorded officers giving opinions about him prior to his arrest and discussing afterward how they had treated him. The video contains gaps. The relevant portions are from 13:05 until 13:30, when officers give disparaging opinions about Dawson, and from 26:30 until 30:38, when they talk about his arrest.
