Officer Harless is now in the process of trying to get his job back.... Unfortunately, the PTB in Canton OH don't seem to have their heads on....
Here in OH, notification is mandatory, IF you're carrying. Many Officers don't know about that part.... Makes for a mess. Not to mention the law saying "promptly" without bothering to define it. 40 seconds? At least one case....
I've known quiet a few Campus LEO's locally (YSU's first Chief was friend of mine, as was his Top Sergeant, and many of his successors, as well as a couple of Officers, one of whom was my Best Man). 'Bout all I can say is that competition to get the jobs isn't quite as stiff.... The Chief also taught LE courses there, and had been YPD's Chief a few years before. (I'm a semi-retired rent-a-cop, among other things. With a few individual exceptions, I have considerable regard/respect for these guys and gals.)
However, any Officer who'd go with 2mph over a limit has some issues....
I would FOIA all material relevant to the stop - video and audio recordings, if any, reports, logs, dispatch logs, etc. And go to his superior immediately. This sort of complaint on his record, if unresolved, can't do the school any good at all if he manages to injure or kill anybody else later on....
If the in-car recording magically disappears, though, I think I'd be talking to my lawyer and the local paper.
All that said, we've only heard one side here. Don't jump to conclusions.
Regards,
