The student's mother got the body camera video and posted it on her Facebook page, according to authorities in Florida.
In video posted by the teen's mother, the officer and a school worker refuse to let the student leave campus without a parent's OK.Authorities are investigating body camera video from a deputy in Florida in which he is heard threatening to shoot a high school student attempting to leave campus.
According to Nedra Miller, her son -- a high school student -- was trying to go to an orthodontist appointment after dropping off another student at the school, when he encountered the officer and another employee, whom Pasco County schools identified as Cindy Bond. In the body camera footage, the incident appears to have already started. Bond and the officer are in a golf cart and seem to be blocking the student's pickup truck from leaving the parking lot. Bond tells the student that he needs to get a parent on the phone and then she'll let him go.The teen inches his truck forward, and never gives the officer a reason for why he was leaving school, according to the video.
"No, I’m not truant," the student says."I’m allowed to leave campus. I am old enough to leave. Are you holding me here against my will right now?"Before the video ends, Bond tells the student to take an early vacation and not return for the rest of the school week.Neither side budges on the video for several minutes until the student eventually leaves his vehicle and goes back into the school.
