Jersey Shore Police Officers Use Chokehold on Surfer During Beach Badge Dispute

Looks like Jersey Shore cops went way overboard off the boardwalk while patrolling the beach this week … putting an unsuspecting surfer in a chokehold over his lack of proper paperwork.
California surfer Liam Mahoney‘s visit to Belmar Beach Tuesday was not laid-back, as a new video making the rounds online shows him getting into a heated confrontation with police after he failed to display a beach access badge on his wetsuit.
Liam and a woman in his group tried to explain to the officers that he did, indeed, have a badge required to access the beach — it was located on his backpack nearby — but the situation escalated quickly.
