State police said Morrison then approached the trooper and tried to stop him from arresting her husband. Morrison said she started recording the arrest because she feared for her husband's life as a trooper handcuffed him. Morrison and McLean both said in March that they planned to file a lawsuit over the traffic stop. They also said at the time of the incident they were driving behind each other to drop off a car for repairs. Their lawyers questioned the trooper's apparent “warrior” policing tactics.
