Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has had his traffic citations dismissed following an incident that occurred on September 8, the day of the Dolphins' regular-season opener. Reports indicate that the citations for careless driving and a seatbelt violation were thrown out after the Miami-Dade Police officers who issued the tickets failed to appear at a subsequent court hearing.

Confirmation of the dismissed tickets was provided by TMZ Sports, which reported that the decision was made on the Monday following the incident. During the traffic stop, which took place near the Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium, Hill was briefly detained before being released to participate in the Dolphins' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he made a significant impact with seven receptions for 130 yards and an 80-yard touchdown.

The circumstances surrounding the traffic stop included a reported verbal altercation between Hill and an officer, which resulted in the player being placed in handcuffs. Despite the confrontation, Hill stated he was not disrespectful and did not use profanity. Efforts to de-escalate the situation were made by fellow Dolphins players Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith, who were present at the scene. While Campbell was detained for allegedly disobeying a direct order from the officers, the interaction led to scrutiny of the police conduct. The Dolphins organization later issued a statement condemning what they described as overly aggressive behavior by the officers involved.
