Rios called one of the officers a homophobic slur during the traffic stop and later made a point to bring up an officer’s nationality from the back of the police vehicle. When the state representative inquired about his accent, the officer told Rios he is “originally from England,” which Rios then claimed England is being “taken over” by migrants.

“You’re arresting me for driving home while people come into your country and rape your women? And I’m the bad guy?” Rios can be heard saying on the footage, among other comments.

The state lawmaker also threatened to call state Attorney General Drew Wrigley while sitting in the back of the police cruiser. CNN has reached out to the AG’s office for comment.
