Quote:George Zimmerman -- who was acquitted earlier this month on murder charges tied to Trayvon Martin's death -- was stopped this weekend for speeding in northern Texas, according to police. Zimmerman was apparently traveling with a gun when he was pulled over. Dashcam video released by Forney, Texas, police shows him and a police officer talking briefly before the officer tells him to shut his glove compartment "Don't play with your firearm, OK?" the officer says. The Forney police officer ultimately sends Zimmerman off with a verbal warning to "slow down." The traffic stop occurred shortly after noon on Sunday. The dashcam video shows the officer turning on his sirens and saying, "Get 'em," as Zimmerman's 2008 gray Honda pulls away. Moments later, the officer pulls up behind Zimmerman's car, which is by then parked in the breakdown lane with its hazard lights on. The officer asks for a driver's license, and after a short exchange with Zimmerman and recognizing the name, he says, "What a coincidence." "The reason you were stopped is for your speed," the officer adds later. "And as long as you don't have any warrants, you'll be served a warning." http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/31/us/texas-zimmerman-traffic-violation/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
