News story over bodycam footage from @theoregonian

A police officer informs a suspect he is reading him his Miranda rights, then proceeds to recite them in an extremely fast and unintelligible mumble. The officer then asks if the suspect understands, and the suspect confirms. Text overlays throughout the video explain that this footage led an Oregon court to overturn the suspect's DUI conviction because the warnings were deemed legally invalid and unintelligible.
