Michael Rainey Jr. took to social media to share his experience during an “unlawful” traffic stop.
The “Power Book II: Ghost” star shared a video of a police officer approaching his vehicle with his hand on his gun.
Once the officer realizes he’s being filmed. He tucks the gun back under his shirt.
Michael captioned the video, shared on his IG Story:

Unfortunately, these unlawful traffic stops happen far too often.
I am happy Michael Rainey Jr. thought to film the encounter. I just may have saved his life.
Please be safe out there.
