Second Bodycam Footage of Beverly Perkins

Additional body camera footage obtained by REDBROWARD shows Pompano Beach Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins telling a second Fort Lauderdale Police Officer, “I can’t think of anything I could be doing wrong.” Last week, REDBROWARD was first to report an April 6, 2022 incident where Fort Lauderdale Police stopped Perkins for speeding. The incident took place just after 10:00 PM in the parking lot of the Sunland Food Mart on East Sunrise Boulevard.

In the first body camera footage, Perkins told the police officer, ““I am Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins of the City of Pompano Beach. Y’all need to find something better to fucking do.”

The footage posted by REDBROWARD went viral. National outlets such as the New York Post exposed Perkins’ rude and unprofessional behavior.

In the second video, Beverly Perkins starts loudly playing her music as the first officer returned to his patrol car. The second officer stood on the passenger side of Perkins white Audi SUV. The passenger side window was rolled down.

After four minutes, Beverly Perkins began talking to the second officer. Perkins’ initial comments were obscured by her loud music and road noise. But it appears Perkins is saying something about the City of Pompano Beach.

After turning down the volume of her radio Perkins said, “I can’t think of anything I could be doing wrong.” The Officer replied, “ok.” Then, Perkins asked the officer for his name.

After getting the officer’s name, Perkins raised the volume of her radio. It appeared as though Perkins typed the officer’s name into her phone.

Last week, Perkins told REDBROWARD, “With all due respect. I never cursed or said that to the officer. I respect the law and he was just doing his job. The officer never issued me anything in writing. He just asked me to slow down and I did.”

The videos show Beverly Perkins was not respectful to either police officer.

On Tuesday, REDBROWARD broke the news of Pompano Beach Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins’ vulgar attitude toward a Fort Lauderdale police officer who pulled her over speeding in April. After being told she would only receive a written warning, Perkins told the officer, “I am Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins of the City of Pompano Beach. Y’all need to find something better to fucking do.” Perkins sped away without waiting for the warning.

When contacted by REDBROWARD, Beverly Perkins denied cursing at the officer. Perkins said, “With all due respect. I never cursed or said that to the officer. I respect the law and he was just doing his job. The officer never issued me anything in writing. He just asked me to slow down and I did.”

On Friday night, WPLG Channel 10 attempted to speak with Perkins at her Pompano Beach residence. Even though her white Audi SUV was parked in the driveway, Perkins did not answer the door.

Also late Friday, the Fort Lauderdale Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) issued a statement via social media:

“Instead of attacking the hard-working Fort Lauderdale Police Department Officers and resorting to using profanity, we suggest you apologize and then sign up for some ride alongs to see what they do every day to protect the citizens of our great city.

As an elected official, you too are held to a higher standard and should know better. If that is not something you can bring yourself to do, we suggest you obey the speed limit and seek anger management. Furthermore, we would like to commend the FLPD Officer for his professionalism and dedication to duty in keeping our community safe.”
