Redacted Video of Justin Timberlake’s 2024 DWI Arrest Released After Legal Deal

The disclosure followed a joint court filing in which his lawyers acknowledged the edited body‑cam footage does not violate New York’s privacy law.

Overview

  • Sag Harbor police released redacted body‑camera recordings from the June 18, 2024 traffic stop, with media outlets publishing excerpts, including an 18‑minute clip posted by TMZ.
  • The footage shows Timberlake struggling with field sobriety tests, saying the exercises were “really hard,” appearing nervous with a racing heart, and refusing a breath test.
  • In the video, Timberlake tells an officer he is “on a world tour” and identifies himself after being pulled over for allegedly running a stop sign and veering from his lane.
  • A friend on scene—identified in reports as designer Estee Stanley—pleads with officers on his behalf; police later allow a woman to take his vehicle while he is taken into custody.
  • The release comes after Timberlake initially sued to block disclosure; his 2024 case was resolved in September 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.
