TULSA, Okla. — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper involved in an altercation with a paramedic is on leave. Daniel Martin has been on paid administrative leave since last week. Trooper Martin has been the subject of an OHP internal investigation since an amateur video surfaced showing the dispute.

The trooper insists the medic started the fight. So, why won’t the highway patrol release the dashcam video they say proves it?

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is refusing to release a copy of their dashcam video of the incident between a state trooper and paramedic saying it isn’t their practice to do so, and that the video isn’t covered by the Oklahoma Open Records Act.
