\n\tOfficer body camera footage of Justin Timberlake\u2019s 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, New York was released Friday, after the singer agreed to redactions as part of a settlement of his privacy lawsuit against the local police department.<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake, 45, was pulled over, subjected to a series of field sobriety tests, and ultimately charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while impaired, an infraction.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe footage was published online Friday by The Sag Harbor Express, a local outlet that sought its release through a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request filed by its parent company, The Express News Group.<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake also appears to have difficulty with another test requiring him to lift one foot six inches off the ground and count aloud. \u201cSorry, my heart is racing,\u201d he says. \u201cThese are like, really hard tests.\u201d A short time later, he is placed in handcuffs and arrested.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn March 2, Timberlake filed a petition seeking to block release of the footage, citing privacy concerns. A judge then granted a temporary restraining order.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe footage at issue depicts petitioner in an acutely vulnerable state during a roadside encounter with law enforcement, capturing intimate details of petitioner\u2019s physical appearance, demeanor, speech, and conduct during field sobriety testing, the…<\/p>\n
