"But there will always be some casualties along the way."

Police spokesman Andre Martin denied that the officer was told by his superiors to skip the appearance and said numerous other cases were also dismissed due to the absence.Officer Batista "either forgot or was doing something else related to his duties that prevented him from attending", Detective Martin told the BBC.

An administrative probe is being conducted into the failure to appear, Detective Martin said.Results from a separate internal affairs investigation that was launched after the release of the bodycam footage have yet to be shared.The traffic stop happened blocks away from the Dolphin's home field, the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, hours before Hill's first game of the season.

The body camera footage showed Hill at times being terse with police, telling an officer "don't knock on my window like that".Hill rolled his window down to speak to police, then rolled it up, prompting an officer to tell him to roll it back down.

Seconds later, the officer said: "As a matter of fact, get out of the car."

Multiple officers were on the scene. Hill was pulled out of his car by two and placed face down on the pavement. One officer then knelt on his back to restrain him and put him in handcuffs.However, director of finance Fiona Greenway, reported there had been an increase to savings targets for the 2025-26 financial year, which "only makes the challenge more difficult".

She also urged the authority to be cautious over a £220.8m forecast deficit in the current year since "there has been a historic tendency for the financial position to deteriorate" during the year.For this reason, the council should tightly monitor all spending over the remainder of the year, and look further at adult and children's care, homelessness and street-scene improvements, she wrote.

The finance director recommended care packages over a certain weekly cost should be reviewed and approved by a more senior member of staff, for instance, and top suppliers' contracts be negotiated down.To correct the projection, "an additional £11.982m of savings opportunities are being accelerated" from 2025-26 into the current financial year, the report stated.
