Justin Timberlake Bodycam From 2024 Sag Harbor DWI Stop Released After Court Deal

The disclosure followed a joint filing stating the redacted video did not violate New York’s privacy standard under FOIL.

Overview

  • About eight hours of police body-camera footage, reviewed and redacted for safety and privacy, were released Friday by Sag Harbor in response to media records requests.
  • Officers stopped Timberlake after reporting a rolled stop sign and lane veering; the video shows him struggling through sobriety tests, saying, “These are, like, hard tests,” and noting his heart was racing.
  • He refused a breath test, questioned the arrest from the patrol car, and later reacted at the station when told he would be held overnight.
  • The footage captures him identifying himself and saying he was on a world tour, while a friend pleads with officers, is allowed to speak with him, and is later permitted to drive his car.
  • The underlying case was resolved in September 2024 with a plea to driving while ability impaired, a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, a 90‑day license suspension, and a required public‑safety message.
