A nearly 12-minute RCMP dashcam video — filed as a court exhibit on Thursday — shows the violent arrest of Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and the moments leading up to it.

The video is a court exhibit in connection with the events that unfolded in March. On Thursday, Jay Telegdi with the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation said Adam’s lawyer filed a court motion to have criminal charges stayed “as a result of numerous infringements of Chief Adam’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”

On Saturday, Adam held a news conference in which he alleged he was beaten by RCMP officers outside a casino in Fort McMurray on March 10 when he and his family were leaving for the night.

He said it started when an RCMP officer approached them about an expired tag on their vehicle licence plates.

In a statement released several days ago, the office of federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said the footage and use of force left them “deeply disturbed”​ and said all Canadians are entitled to “culturally competent and bias-free policing.”
