Zimmerman Pulled Over For Speeding In Texas

George Zimmerman, the neighbourhood watch volunteer cleared over the killing of Trayvon Martin, has been stopped for speeding on a highway in Texas.

A police dashcam video shows an officer interacting with Mr Zimmerman and letting him go with a warning.

Some of the officer's comments suggested Mr Zimmerman had a gun, though no weapon can be seen in the video.

"Just take it easy. Go ahead and shut your glove compartment. Don't play with your firearm," the officer tells him.

Mr Zimmerman had a concealed weapons permit in Florida that would be also recognised under Texas law.

The gun used in Trayvon's shooting remains in the custody of the federal government, which is looking into a possible civil rights case.

Tryvon Martin was visiting his father when he was shot in February 2012

The officer, who stopped Mr Zimmerman in Forney outside Dallas, asked him where he was headed.

After an unintelligible response, the officer asks, "Nowhere in particular? Why you say that?"

"You didn't see my name?" Mr Zimmerman replies.

"Nuh-uh," the officer says.

"What a coincidence!" the officer adds. "Are you clear of warrants and stuff?"

"Absolutely sir," Mr Zimmerman says.

The speed limit on that stretch of road is 60mph (96kph), but police records do not show how fast Mr Zimmerman was driving.

Rallies were held across the US after Mr Zimmerman's acquittal

On July 13, Mr Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder in the shooting of Trayvon, a black, unarmed 17-year-old, in Florida.

The case prompted rallies nationwide calling for a civil rights probe and federal charges against him.

Mr Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, rejected accusations he had racially profiled Trayvon, saying he fired his weapon in self-defence during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford.
