Justin Bieber's "drag race" through Miami Beach was captured on surveillance video ... and backs up evidence TMZ first uncovered -- there didn't appear to be any high-speed racing going down at all.

In the video ... Bieber is leading in the Lambo, while his buddy Khalil drives BEHIND him in the Ferrari, and an SUV drives along side of both cars.

Single-file driving at reasonable speed ... with an SUV preventing any passing ... would make a race between Bieber and Khalil near impossible.

The video -- obtained by CBS4 in Miami -- also shows police tailing the group for a few blocks.

We broke the story ... the rental place where Justin got the cars had GPS tracking devices on the vehicles -- showing they were both doing 27 mph at the time of the alleged racing

Brenda Sewell is dead today after police denied her access to her medication while in jail for a minor pot charge. Sewell and Joy Bigg, two sisters returning home to Kansas from a trip to Colorado, were pulled over Monday for speeding when police found a small amount of marijuana in the car. The sisters had legally purchased the marijuana in Colorado earlier in the week.

The officer arrested the sisters and they were taken to jail. Because police could not tell what medications the sisters were taking, Sewell was denied access to her medication for Hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, and a thyroid condition, illnesses for which she had been receiving treatment for over a decade.

Detectives said a sexual assault examination on the victim supported her claim and that her DNA was found in his patrol car even though there's no evidence the woman was ever in it.

"The victim's DNA was found on the steering wheel, his flashlight and the gear shifter ****," said Harrell.

Donnelly's dash cam was allegedly turned off for about 22 minutes during the encounter.

Donnelly worked for the Lake County Sheriff's Office for 13 years, and during that period, he only had one disciplinary issue.

SPANISH FORK — Josh Boren, the police officer who shot and killed his wife, two young children and mother-in-law before taking his own life, was once disciplined for shooting at a stray dog while he was on duty rather than taking it to the shelter.

A jury has awarded a Los Angeles police officer $260,000 after finding that Pomona police used excessive force on the young cop and unlawfully arrested him.

In Mayfield Heights, Ohio, checkpoints to search for drugs are illegal, so the crony cops have decided to try another way to violate the peoples’ freedom from unreasonable search; fake drug checkpoints.

...

There was no checkpoint, only police waiting for motorists to react suspiciously after seeing the signs. A Mayfield Heights assistant prosecutor says it’s a lawful and legitimate tactic in his city’s war on drugs.

STRINGTOWN, Okla. — Earlier in the month, when state law enforcement officials stripped a small town police department of the authority to write traffic tickets along U.S. 69, it wasn't the first time Stringtown had been labeled a speed trap.

Not by a long shot.

In fact, Stringtown is probably Oklahoma's most notorious speed trap. Type the words "Oklahoma speed trap" into your favorite Internet search engine, and you'll be reading about the small town in southeastern Oklahoma in no time.

The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety announced Jan. 13 that Stringtown's police department no longer would be allowed to enforce traffic laws on state and federal highways that run through the town.

After an investigation — which had been requested by the state attorney general's office — it was determined that Stringtown generated too much revenue through police-related activities.

State law prohibits cities and towns from generating more than half of their revenue through the collection of traffic fine payments.

According to the most recent audit of Stringtown's finances, the town generated $483,646 in fines during fiscal year 2013. That figure represents 76 percent of all Springtown revenue.

The year before, traffic fines accounted for about the same amount of cash, or 73 percent of all revenue in fiscal year 2012.

A Henderson County Sheriff's Deputy is arrested for inappropriate conduct with a student. 27-year-old Daniel Lindsey is charged with three felony counts of sex offense with a student. Lindsey had been working as a school resource officer at the Balfour Education Center. Sheriff Charles McDonald says the victim was a 16-year-old student at the school when the offenses occurred. He says the relationship was consensual, but adds consent has no bearing when one of the people involved is an officer or custodial figure. "This is something to be concerned about," said McDonald at a press conference Saturday morning. "I regret terribly that we're having to deal with it. But we will deal with it, make no mistake." Lindsey was taken into custody around midnight Friday. He is out on bond. Lindsey had been with the sheriff's office since 2008. He has been fired from the department. The sheriff says more charges are likely, but he does not believe any other students were involved at this point.

A jury has found that a Los Angeles Police Department officer used excessive force in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man and awarded $750,000 in damages to the man's son.

The Los Angeles County Superior Court jury decided last week that Officer Daniel Bunch used unreasonable force when he fatally shot Dontaze Storey Jr., 47, in November 2008 in front of the man's pregnant fiancee.

Jurors acquitted a second officer, Oliver Malabuya.

The shooting occurred after a foot pursuit Nov. 11, 2008, near 3rd Street and New Hampshire Avenue. The chase began after the officers answered a 911 call fora report of assault with a deadly weapon at Rite-Aid in the 300 block of South Vermont Avenue. The officers were warned by radio that the suspect was armed with a gun. The LAPD helicopter directed officers to Storey.

Bunch, a Rampart Division officer, said he opened fire when Storey turned toward him and his partner with a silver-colored object that Bunch believed to be a handgun. Malabuya said he fired after hearing a shot and seeing Bunch discharge his weapon.

The object turned out to a cellphone.
