Скачать или смотреть Bodycam footage shows traffic stop just days before Utah dad took kids on dangerous hike

Just over a week before taking his children on a treacherous hike — from which one child is still hospitalized — a Utah father was involved in a lengthy and sometimes tense traffic stop.

On Oct. 11, Micah Smith took his three young children on a hike on the Broads Fork Trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon, right as a storm was coming in. They didn't make it down on their own and were rescued the next day.

Smith was later charged with child abuse.

FOX 13 News has obtained body-worn camera footage of a traffic stop just days prior. Smith was parked on the side of a busy road in Cottonwood Heights on Oct. 4 when an officer pulled up behind him. In the bodycam footage, he tells Smith that he initially wanted to check on him to see if he needed help — but then he noticed that Smith's truck had no license plate.
