9/7/2023 – The Town of Windsor Virginia settles the suit brought against it stemming from the violations to Lt. Caron Nazario. Virginia’s Attorney General Miyares stated: “What we all saw in the shocking traffic stop video involving Army Lt. Caron Nazario was an egregious and unjust use of power…I join the hundreds of thousands of good and decent law enforcement officers who stand against the kind of police misconduct we witnessed. Police are the only government entity that has a monopoly on the use of force in American society, so it’s important that they be good stewards of that responsibility and strive for excellence in the administration of justice. Excessive use of force and violations of constitutional liberties will not be tolerated in Virginia.”
