- I had to make this video for 2 reasons. 1 is because in the video I originally posted that has over 3 million views has over 8,000 comments, many of which people telling me I have to perform a Field Sobriety Test or result is arrest. This video proves the outcome which many didn't believe. Secondly, this video shows that officer Koby Arnold is still an employed officer of the santa monica police department which was also a question I frequently received.

Shame the innocent taxpayers had to pay. The officer and superiors should've footed the bill !
no, you've got it all wrong.
he will get a longevity bonus, a raise and never receive as much as a verbal reprimand even though he didn't do his job properly TWICE and cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
only government workers can get away with that type of misconduct, the private sector would never allow it.

thats the only way we are going to effect change in this fucking country.
cops are the only people that arent required to pay for their mistakes.
WE PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES.
sketch6995 ....that is happening all over the
world..the police have to do it... right or wrong....their bosses drinking or having sex
they have no to worry, the court used
tax money for pay off.,,,,,that's the reason why the army dislike the polices , policemen
collects most of the corrupted money......
the army men can rape only in war while
the policemdn hide.

I can't say whether you are right or wrong. Because I haven't got the slightest idea of what you're trying to say.
c'mon *nlp*, you're just making too much sense there...
"Are you a lawyer?!" No, but six months of training at the academy doesn't make you one either.
Love it!
🤣🤣
It's actually 6 weeks!
Thank you. Should the time ever come for me to be a smartass with a cop and he/she instigates the whole incident, I'll use that line while recording the interaction and upload whatever the results might be lol.
P.S.
To anyone interested: I know some might be fearful of recording your interactions with law enforcement. So, in case you didn't know, download apps such as Background Video Recorder for those times you might need to be discreet about recording what is going on around you. Hope this helps and spread the word. Tc
6 months at the academy, and he must have slept through the class that says you don't have to take a test
If the police department had to pay settlements out of their own budgets instead of the taxpayers footing the bill, there would be a lot fewer false arrests.
IF it's like most cities, they have a $1,000 deducible and the insurance company pays the rest. You could do an open records request and find out if you really want to verify that.
xox
Here, here!
But hopefully, your rates go up for frivolous arrests...
This is the best idea ever thank you
Cops are useless and any one that disagrees probably never got into a situation that request help from cops.
I like how he puts the pressure on the guy by putting his dogs in the pound, car towed, and losing his phone. Tax payers are guilty for not unifying to stop this.
The "I'd rather inflict torment with you're dogs being adopted out thru animal control, or better yet euthanized" tone of voice.
it is to intimidate and abuse..if it was a woman with a kid, he would put the woman in jail and send her kid to CPS while taking the kid alone by himself by the hand for private time with a stranger
"Are you a lawyer?"
"No, and I'm not a veterinarian, either but I know a horse's ass when I see one"

Taxpayers pay for it. Not the police department
@@Buccko92 Yes, we the taxpayers employ the police dept.
In a heartbeat
They should have their pay docked until the lawsuit is paid, clearly this cop didn't pay near enough attention when the law was explained to them in the academy. In California you only agree to a chemical test that's done at the department or at a trailer that's set up for it.
@@Buccko92 thats why there is always a a new wave of cops every month
"If I can't examine you, then I'm gonna assume you're drunk." Well if that's not guilty until proven innocent I don't know what is.
That actually makes sense. Otherwise a drunk person could say no to a field sobriety test and what could the cops do? They are well within their rights to arrest him. However after its all said and done, if he can prove he wasn't intoxicated the case will be dropped.
@@cocaineinmyvein no bc the law states you're(supposed to be) innocent until proven guilty
@@derrick5380 in a court of law.... This is a traffic stop where there are clear laws about submitting a sobriety check that you consent to when you receive a license.
@@cocaineinmyvein if you read your license it says you consent to any sobriety test REQUIRED BY LAW. That does not include field sobriety test only breath blood and urine. That's why the guy here specifies field
@@derrick5380 My point is just saying "no" when an officer requests a sobriety test isn't an option. At least not a legal one.
I hate when officers use the phrase "Are you a lawyer?" When they're being challenged. You don't need a law degree to look up the laws for yourself... In fact, you don't even need a law degree to enforce said laws..
The whole justice system is based on the fact that citizens are supposed to know the law.
He should told him hes not a lawyer but has a PHD in reading
Many police officers don't even know the laws they are charged with enforcing. I overheard two officers once jokingly say to each when they didn't know they being overheard that they just arrest people and jail them and then let the lawyers decide if the arrestee broke the law or not, to let the lawyers sort it all out.
They play psychopath mind games and word games with people. Everyone's legal rights should be respected, weather or not they are lawyer or not. And the cop isn't a lawyer and is allowed to lie and is under no obligation to explain or educate the person what the law, the cop can break the law without any personal consequences.
@@ronhiel6898 except in court, the prosecutor and judge assume that you've done something wrong to deserve to be arrested, so you are guilty, unless.. you can prove you are innocent.. since they don't have time and money for court for everyone, they scare and bully people into signing a forced confession.. so nobody really figures out if the arrested are guilty, everyone is forced to plead guilty.
I got pulled over and told I had to do a breathalyzer. I hadn't drank in 20 years by that time. I blew zero alcohol and the cop made me do it again. Again, zero. Told me to do a third one...ZERO. After 4 attempts he says to me "boy, you are very lucky. I told him luck has nothing to do with it and that after 20 years not drinking I can smell booze a mile away and "officer, I can smell alcohol on your breath" He was fired 8 days later.
The way the cop taunted him with the possibility that his dogs could be adopted from the pound pissed me off.
Glassboulders
He was just being factual. Probably didn't have to volunteer that info as it made him sound callous but he could have just wanted the guy to know what would happen to the dog if he didn't go get it from the pound.
Well then he should have also said if the pound is overpopulated and they don't get adopted they will be euthanized. The pig is not the animal control, he can't make those statements and say they're facts. He doesn't even understand how to do his own job.
Glassboulders me to.
Paul Denet Cop never said "if you fail to pick them up." Listen again without adding any of your own words. It was meant to be spiteful
Paul Denet no he wanted to threaten the guy
If he didn't record, they would have believe the officer . To many officers abuse their power. He should be made to pay the cost not the city.
yes, but kinda hard to say a guy is drunk or impaired after his blood test was cleaner than a nuns !! LOL
It seems all these videos stem from Cali. This doesnt happen in the state I reside.
I highly suggest installing a dashcam, when I get pulled over I know they see it is there.
FILM COPS, ALWAYS! ALWAYS! ALWAYS!
A dash camera or recorder more than pays for itself. It's a silent witness in such situations.
Can you imagine how much money cops like this has caused the city?
Are you a lawyer? Translation; Do you know the law, and can you hold me accountable? Can I lie to you and get away with it? Do I have to follow the law when I deal with you? Because if not, I won't! Cops are so predictable! And this one is more bravado than brains!
The $70k needs to come out of the officer's retirement. The tax payers should not have to foot the bill for his tyranny.
Sean L so if you’re an employee at home depot and you were loading lets say a pallet of something expensive and ended up dropping and destroying it and cost home depot 20k, you want that to come out of your pay? Lol it doesn’t work like that chief, he made a mistake at work, we can all do that and cost our employers money....
Now i do think he should have been fired and forced to go back to training without pay to learn his job
Tradesmen have their own public liability insurance such as plumbers. Owner opperator drivers have it, hell i do and I'm a musician. Why the hell don't 'police'?
@@m.b.3916 Your home depot example isn't applicable because it doesn't involve the home depot employee stripping someone of their constitutional rights. If that home depot employee dropped that pallet on a customer and hurt them however, that individual employee can be sued along with the place of employment.
Settlements for police brutality and corruption SHOULD be paid from the police pention, taxpayers should not be footing the bill for corrupt police doing things that they specifically know they cannot do.
Military personnel have money taken out rot their pay if equipment they’re responsible for is damaged or lost. For really expensive equipment, they get reduced pay for x # of months & a note put in their personnel file so they’re not likely to get promoted.
Considering that some states have successfully stolen pensions from police officers who have not done anything wrong I would say there is definitely a precedent to do exactly that. Let's increase the pensions of all police officers, but then take from the pension to pay off settlement offers. That would act as a financial incentive for the officers to do their jobs.
Stupidest part was at 1:15. "If I can't examine you, then I'm gonna say you're drunk."
Do people hear themselves?
John R He basically admitted that if the driver wouldn't submit to a fake law, he was going to lie to get the driver convicted. Also he liked about the law to try and trick the driver. I am normally pro-cop. This one needs to be fired.
Indeed. Absolutely not a public servant. It amazes me that someone in law enforcement would try to present a clearly fake reason in order to arrest the guy.
We must have police and I can't imagine what life would be like without them. Be that as it may, some folks just don't "fit" well in law enforcement and I wish more effort went into personality tests and personality profiling.
I sounded to me like what he ment was: if i cant examine you im gonna asume your drunk. Which make sense. He made a weird ilegal turn. He slurred ( i know there are a million posible reasons for it but my automatic instict would have been to blame alchohol) and if you, as a policeoficer suspected someone of driving around intoxicated you couldnt, in good contience, let them drive off again.
Yeah i feel like the officer just worded it wrong. And meant if “I can’t prove that you you’re within the limit then I will assume you’re drunk” because of how the guy’s speech is a bit slurred.
You might be right. It's just a bad assumption to make though. In general, law enforcement has a tough job that, I think, is somewhat predicated on most people being mostly cooperative. I think when someone in law enforcement gets into a situation like this, they're suddenly put under a lot of pressure. In this case, the old addage "words matter" really mattered a lot.
I think that the police officer also didn't need to talk to that guy the way he did..."where the hell...?"...that sort of thing. As soon as you start to act in an unreasonable way and treat people like they're less than human, you get a different response.
If he had worded it more like what you stated and if he had not been so pushy, that situation might have gone a lot better for both parties.
"If I can't examine you I going to say you were drunk".... OK...well... don't you need evidence to say someone is drunk?
stevekap8 apparently not in Santa monica
666NedFlanders true but in this case it’s as the judge stated. Retaliation for refusal. Not for law
@666NedFlanders You're NEVER required to do a field sobriety test, and NEVER required to answer an officer's questions apart from giving your name and DOB (or providing a driver's license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration if you're driving). In fact, ANY defense attorney would tell their client to ALWAYS refuse a FST and ALWAYS refuse (politely) to answer any questions. If you refuse to take a breathalyzer or refuse a blood draw there ARE legal consequences, but those consequences need to be weighed against incriminating yourself so you should consult an attorney first.
I’m sure he’d use the same standard for his dear old grandma.
@It smells like bulshit In here Many reasons. Main reason is that even if you don't think you've done anything wrong, there's always the possibility that you've broken some law you weren't aware of. Plus, if an officer has any suspicion about you, they aren't obligated to tell you what that suspicion is, AND they are allowed to lie to you. You might think you're answering innocent questions ("Do you live around here?" "Where are you heading tonight?" "Where are you coming from?" etc) while the officer is already building a case in their mind. For example, they can say that X location is a high crime/high drug traffic neighborhood and use that to give them "reasonable suspicion" to search your car. There is literally zero upside to speaking to police, and huge potential downsides. And that's just if you think you're innocent! If you're guilty of something, let them build their case without your help.
Not only was the officer threatening he also said his dogs would go to the pound and would be given to other people. POS!!
That’s what I’m thinking... my brother got arrested and he was driving with his puppy and the officer called for me to pick her up because they DID NOT wanna call the pound..
L
That’s what they do, threaten you with arrest. With every action.
That’s not what he said he said he will be at the pound until someone(owner or friend of owner) or they will be adopted if nobody picks them up.
All I know is if I cost my employer 160,000$ I would not have a job.
Yep. That's why the police don't give a shit because it's the taxpayer's money.

Exactly what I was thinking
Money in the bank fellas
LOL
Wow! I can’t believe, after reading your description, that people actually thought you HAVE to do field sobriety tests!
It's really sad that we live in a country where the average citizen has to record their encounters with the very people whose job is to protect their rights so as to ensure that their own rights are protected.
It’s sad that you become a criminal by simply going through a conversation with police where the officer is provoking you and actively trying to frame you.
Funny how the cop thinks one only has rights when one is a lawyer. 😂
NOT “only has rights”.
“Has rights only”.
Falsely arresting someone for dui can ruin someone's life, could you imagine going through this knowing that you haven't drank, complete miscarriage of justice
He may not have been drinking however he very well could have been under the influence of something else -- perhaps just a lack of sleep, either way it goes he made a wrong turn and he did have slurred speech.
Just on GP I'm glad he won.
If driving was part of his career, dude would have lost his job over false accusations from a cop.
THEN THE IDIOT SHOULD HAVE DONE THE FIELD SOBRIETY TEST.
THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT THE TEST WAS CREATED FOR.
And he did say "then take me to jail". He shouldn't have won since he actually told the cop to arrest him.....
@@OdintheGermanShepherd that's his own fault then. It would have taken less than 5 minutes to prove he was not drunk or under the influence and he would have been on his way.... But he decided to be a dick....
@@rebeccahetrick6576 yes, perhaps....however...it’s the officers discretion as to wether he passed or failed if he chose to do the field test...some folks have better balance than others (sober or drunk) ... eye movement while tracking a fast-moving ink pen varies greatly from individual to individual also....
THAT COP SHOULD BE PAYING FROM HIS PAYCHECK NOT THE TEXPAYER PERIOD
Guilty until proven innocent. There's no point in asking the police what is the law. They will lie to you and there is no consequence to them.
Ask me if i’m a lawyer , thats the exact moment i would call my lawyer .
I don't know why the officer asked if he is a lawyer I mean you don't need be a lawyer to know you rights only u need be an educated citizen that's all
Adn Soes! R
Adn Soes Because in our jacked up legal system rights are only for government officials and lawyers. Plebes like you and me have no rights unless they feel generous that day.
It goes even deeper than that and has to do with who actually owns the legal name and who is indemnified in court to use it. So much tortious conversion going on in the system.
It's a dismissive tactic to show that the officer has the upper hand. School yard bully antics!
Adn Soes ikr?!
For him to “drink,” he was able to communicate very well
Unless you're really drunk communicating well shouldn't be a problem.
0:16 the officer said, “no or no?” Trying to bait him into incriminating himself. What a pos
I own a small business, if I had an employee that cost me 160k dollars, he'd be so fired he'd have to apply for unemployment twice!
1) the officer is doing what he is trained to do. Its the mayor and the police chief that you should get mad at, not the underlings. I promise you that random field sobriety tests in the evenings are pushed by the department, and many counties even setup blockades for these illegal tests, with the mayor and police chief's blessing. You wouldn't fire an employee that was doing something idiotic that you told them to do, right? And the customer shouldn't get mad at say a cashier that is doing what you setup as policy for your small business. 2) Unionization of public sector employees should be illegal, and that's the main reason officers feel no repercussions for their actions, as if anything they often get a paid vacation out of serious infractions. And ironically, people think its right winger fascism to blame, but the mayors and police chiefs are almost always Democrats and unions are promoted by the left as well, and very much opposed by the right ideologically. Replace the bad mayors and police chiefs, and abolish public sector unions, and you won't have this problem.
Plus 6 figure salary they get for this BS.
Police departments are very used to scheduling out cash for their shitty behavior

I have autism, and I'm at higher risk of cops than non-autistic people are. I can drive like the non-autistics, but one thing I heard is that autism tends to get mistaken for intoxication, and so it's true I can get arrested just for being autistic. So when I see a police cruiser, I get nervous, I would just turn one way if able to and go where they wouldn't be going and move on.
Officer Arnold cost SM $160,000 in 2 suits so far.
Michael Arvin imagine losing 160 grand in a private industry. Your ass would be out on the street in no time. N this includes stock brokers. If they are in the red for 3 consecutive months they are fired.
CriscDogs22 the only difference here is that he didn’t cost his employer 160k, he cost the taxpayers 160k. When taxpayers choose not to elect his superior, that’s when accountability happens. In the meanwhile, his immediate boss doesn’t care
CriscDogs22 People are fired if their till dosent add up by even by 16 bucks . They need to start suing the individual cops and let the money come out of their pockets. Watch how quickly this shit will stops.
@@ThatBeeyatch That would be stupid . . . HELLO . . . No one would dare be in law enforcement. The departmental budget feeling the burn to demand accountability is one thing . . . . but not the individual.
They don't care he is acting and using standard police protocols , this is how the police are trained ,to knowingly violate your rights , that's why we have police violence against people who know there Rights . Our police training needs to be changed.
And cops wonder why members of the public don't trust or like them. He's an example of horrible cops at work.
Of course, because you should always believe someone when they say they haven't had a drink. Its a fact that no-one ever drinks and drives, and everyone is always truthful about that!
I don't fault the cop. This man tried to act drunk.
@Klaa2 You're right, that's not the issue. The issue is that people like this antagonize the police. Instead of complying is a simple test, he decided, before the conversation even started, that he was going to antagonize the cop. The recording had already started, after all. I wonder what this country would look like if all police in every state stopped doing their job for just one week.
@@Talon771 he calmly and coherently stated his rights. The cop doesn't even know the law he's trying to enforce.
People who don’t like cops got caught doing shit the cops don’t like lol. The only reason he got any clout was because the cop slipped up on some words that’s it. Otherwise what he did was legal.
"...People come up and they're intoxicated and sometimes they end up going to jail because they are too intoxicated" - The fool has learned absolutely nothing and are still putting innocent people in jail.
THIS IS THE "POLICE REFORM" WE NEED...
A lying bully cop? I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Bad cops are like bad priests. They ruin it for the good, decent ones. But seriously, think about what it takes to be a police officer. Is it any wonder we get guys like that one who needs a sobriety field test for being drunk with power!
Crooked cops. They don't come any other way.

Advice to all Law-Abiding-Citizens.
Buy a high quality dashcam. Make sure it records audio as well as video.... and make sure it’s on.
There's one big flaw with that though. If they're bad enough cops, they'll tamper with or destroy the evidence, then you'll have nothing. Even if you're using your phone. IMO, going live on FB or here might do the trick

I don’t know why the automotive industry doesn’t make this option standard on all vehicles
cops forgot somewhere along the line that their Job is to protect and serve the public.
not harass and intimidate and browbeat.
They are not constitutionally required to take any action that would result in the prevention of a crime. (SEE several supreme court rulings.)
They do not protect.
They have been summoned each and every fucking time the citizens want change in this country, which they express through protest, soley to intimidate, taze, water hose, pepper spray and terrorize the citizens into standing down.
They do not serve.
Their primary function is to serve the state and protect ITS property.

@@tylercouture216 he had reasonable suspicion for the stop (red light violation), but no probable cause for the arrest.
The only reason why the judge drop the charges is because this corrupt police officer was audio recorded. If it wasn’t for this, it goes back to the saying, police have the judges in there pocket because whatever the police write on there arrest complaint is what the judge goes by. This judge would of been lied to with a good morning smile and a hand shake but thanks for the audio recording it set this man free not the judge.

life is good.
This officer is so delusional that he should be hospitalized. Sad state of affairs giving these types a gun and the authority.
The driver was delusional, because if you say you aren't drunk by not taking their test then that does not prove that you aren't drunk and you become suspicious. If people cooperate and prove themselves then there would be no problem afterwards.

I was in a major American city years ago and on a certain day an police officer approached me and said to me " Can I talk with you?" We started talking and he was accusing me of attempting to purchase alcohol as a a 19 year old. He demanded that I hand him my ID. I asked him " Am I being detained or arrested "? He didn't answer my question and again demanded my ID. I asked the question 2 more time and after the 3rd time told him " If you don't answer my question, I'm walking away because I don't have to identify myself to you without just cause . I paid attention in High School Civics Class and know my rights." I was never in the liquor store that he was talking about. Don't let the Police bully you into giving up your constitutional rights.

In America, its guilty, untill proven innocent.
Cindy Nguyen - No, you had it right the first time.
Wow! Dumb comment. If you had an 8th grade education, you would know that an arrest is not a guilty verdict. (When you sign for your drivers license, you sign consent to be tested for DUI. If there is probable cause.) If you don't like living under our system of laws, leave. Go live in Venezuela or some other 3rd world country.

do you have to be a lawyer to abide by the law? if no why do officers think citizens cant know and understand them.
Always always in today's world lawyer up and pleed the 5th . it doesnt matter if ur a good person or not . it seems to be the only way to our freedom.
Record everything ! EVERYTHING !
Police officer: " no or no" dwl 😂😂.
Driver: I said no.
They should have fired the cop!
Pete Woods firing a police officer = retraining him
everyone is guilty, everything is against the Law. and going to jail is the reward for knowing your rights as every citizen should.
I'm not sure how states to states works with DUI check point. I am from California and i am glad that there are check point in our states, because we have a lot of reckless drivers and drunk drivers over where I am at and I do understand why the officer did what he did but lying isn't one of them that I like. All of these could have been avoided if they dude would just do it real fast and go on about his business. I do however disagree with what the judge did, DUI check point are there to keep drunk driver from being on the street, and everyone should go through that and I have lots of time, but not once I ever was asked to get out of my vehicle and do these tests because simply I was awake, officer had no reasons to do anything.
I am glad that citizen knows their rights and laws, but I wish judge knows their laws too.
Same here in Illinois. I applaud DUI check points, it helps keep deadly drivers off the road,
zerious1016 & littleblitz - why are you guys talking about a DYING checkpoint when it was just a stop from doing an illegal right hand turn? D'oh!

The number one problem with cops is that they think everything they say and do is lawful and correct. The second problem is that they "feel" that YOU MUST OBEY THEM, and they don't care if they are violating your rights.
Great job Young Man 👍🏾
It's not simple and refusing to oblige comands should not mean you automatically go to jail this cop needs to be fired and never allowed to wear a badge ever again
I need to invest in a recording software that automatically uploads to a cloud. I don’t want an officer to take my phone and delete it
dont worry about it Some police departments have forensic specialists that can get into locked phones and computers. Technically they would need a warrant but with the amount of corruption going on wouldn’t be surprised if they got in and deleted incriminating evidence anyway.
@@dontworryaboutit8127 I just turn on my recorded and lock my screen it'll record until all space is taken
Then don't break the law. And always comply with the officer if you get pulled over....
You can livestream to Facebook, it's the one thing FB is good for.
@@rebeccahetrick6576 Are you seriously dumb enough to believe that if you do not break the law, a police officer would not arrest or ticket you...and LIE??
The problem arises when police want to take things personally and become vindictive. That amounts to abuse of their authority. And the lack of proportionality in this case is ridiculous - all over an alleged wrongful right turn, for heaven’s sake.
The fact that he cost the city $160k and is still employed is mind boggling. That man obviously needs to rethink his career choice.
"Are you a Lawyer?" WHERE THE FUCK DOES THE LAW SAY YOU HAVE TO BE A LAWYER TO KNOW THE LAW OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY?!
Officer was aggressive and lied about guy being drunk.
Michael Shinault now now let's not point out the futilities of officer fucktard I'm pretty sure it won't be the last time the whole world sees another Piggy's snout whose iq is between a rock and a jar of pickles
This has happened to me several times on my way home from work and they always try to arrest me.
I appreciate the police until you get a power tripping cop and they ruin it for all of them.
Yup. Police in my family and I still get antsy because they don't all see themselves as servants. Some think you should worship the ground they walk on for the danger they get (themselves) into. I've known armed security guards that work on state line where to avoid police folks just cross into the next state who have talked down drunks, prostitutes, bikers, and generally crazy folks with a joint lock in the worst cases and a spare cigarette in the best. That's community policing; caring enough about the people you're paid to protect to actually protect and communicate with them, and not exerting authority at every turn.
I hate police.
It happened to me! Worse, the Santa Barbara County Public Defender K. C. Williamson entered a no-contest plea without fully explaining his intentions. After I accepted a plea offer on an unrelated case did the Driving While Intoxicated "Alcohol" charge become hidden within the other.
Twelve pages into the court's transcript of the change of plea hearing, the Judge accepts my plea finds a factual basis for accepting my plea and sentences me to what was agreed, he then, without hesitation, continues with the hearing by saying, "Okay, now we have "THE MISDEAMNOR CASE, MR. WILLIAMSON?" "YOUR HONOR, WE ENTER A PLEA OF NO CONTEST." The following year, I learned my license was revoked. that the misdemeanor was the alcohol DUI that I blew 0.00 and there was no trace of alcohol in my system.
Eventually, I received an email from the head of the Public Defender's Office, which read in part, an error had been made, but not that I wasn't guilty under that statute charged in the case, rather the language used in my conviction was wrong.. My blood tested presumptive for Xanax, and it didn't matter that I had a prescription, and it didn't matter that the last time I took any was over 24 hours, nor did it matter that my impaired driving was the fact I pulled out of a well-lit shopping center failing to switch the car's headlights on for a good 5 seconds!
His recommendation was for me to ask the public defender's office to return to the court and enter a correction. Unbelievably, when I called the SB Public Defender's Office, I was told by the new department she would not help me and I could retain a private attorney. That was three years ago. I drive without a license, the PD went on to lose his license to practice law in CA for not paying his CA State Bar Dues. Seriously! I swear, I could kill the fucking bastard!
I got a DwI at 16, and had never drank in my life at that point. The police officer REFUSED to give me a breathalyzer.
Seems like he has a habit of assuming everyone is intoxicated.
That's why if you're told to do a test then it would be easier to prove if you're not drunk. Otherwise it can be suspicious. How else do you prove that you aren't drunk?
Radioactive Dynamite its not the accused the proves innocence the accuser is supposed to prove guilt and a FST is NOT the only way to do so!! Someone who’s drunk slurs their words, someone who’s drunk has a hard time walking in a straight line, you can smell alcohol in their breath these are just a few methods that this dumbass officer didn’t think to use. If the officer had stayed cool and father deescalated the situation ACTUALLY do his job, maybe after using 1 or two of these tests and he was STILL unsure than arresting him and taking him to the station would have made some sense. Hell of the idiot had just calmly taken the man to jail like he requested... well maybe he’s not an idiot since he didn’t have to pay the lawsuit, the taxpayers did, and the force decided to allow him to keep his job. After all that who’s the real idiot in the end.
@@prime201 How can a person prove they are guilty by doing the test and following orders? There is a reason why the cop pulled over the driver in the first place and it was for making that illegal right lane turn, and because of that the cop would need to perform some tests on the driver. The drivers voice seemed a bit slow, and people who get drunk can have the same effect. It was just a misinterpretation by the cop. It's not always alcohol where a test is performed but some drugs can cause the sames affects too. But if no test can be taken because the driver kept on refusing then how can the officer really be sure that the guy is safe enough to drive when that idiot made that illegal right lane change? If the driver just cooperated then that would have saved him time, the cops time, and wouldn't have caused tax payers to pay the lawsuit. aMeRiCaNs are disobedient and undisciplined in general, because they will make an excuse for everything even if they are wrong. Cooperating and complying will get you out of situations more effectively but none of you want to do that.
Radioactive Dynamite agreed but how else are lazy Americans supposed to get huge paydays if they don’t bait cops into shit only reason he got a pay out is because of the cops word choice. Dude sounded either mentally impaired or had some speech issues. But don’t worry you can find some blm cop hating shit stains of society wishing death on cops when half of em can barely fill out their welfare forms

$70,000 is not enough for violating a man's rights.
If nobody can pick your dogs up they will be adopted?!? What a psycho all over a traffic signal
I love how they always ask "are you a lawyer" as if that changes the law,smh
Best to know your rights. Knowledge is powerful.
Tate Shoquist that only applies to a certain group of individuals! Not everyone get to exercise their rights with out someone saying “shoulda just complied”
Yup, Like giving up before the battle even begins 😔
This ladies and gentlemen is how you act and keep your cool ..don't blow a $70,000 plus settlement acting a fool and potential getting shot!
I love that he had the presence of mind to film and he's not an idoit that thinks he NEEDS to submit to a field sobriety test. Finally. This word needs to go out. Stop being stupid. You don't have to submit to a field sobriety test.
Good on the judge for applying the law correctly and by not shifting the burden of proof to the plaintiff like many do 👏👏
The burden is on the plaintiff. In a civil case the plaintiff has to show by a preponderance of the evidence that every element of their civil action complaint has been met. Defendants can present evidence of an affirmative defense that they would have to prove but the plaintiff always bears the initial burden.
I'm saddened to see what he had to go through but happy he fought for his rights!
If my dog would have disappeared in the process, the cop would not live to see another Christmas.
Anybody who encounters an officer of the law needs to have to record everything. You have a phone with a camera and recorder for this very reason.
"Are you a lawyer?" No but I stayed at a Holiday Express." "You may go."
Wow 70 k for 1 day in jail. That is pretty awesome.

5:02 He said if the cop has reasonable suspicion that you have been drinking you can be arrested. They need probable cause to arrest.
Right. Reasonable suspicion to stop people but probable cause to make an arrest.
"TO PROTECT AND SERVE".........
yeah right. .......you mean,
"TO EXTORT AND COLLECT"
is the accurate phrase.
Cops by law are allowed to lie to you. Always assume they are lieing about the law, but not about how they plan on abusing you & your rights.

@@hunterbogart1923 lying is not illegal, therefore anybody can do it as long as they haven't sworn under oath not to lie. Police officers don't have to tell you the truth. Don't be naive.
@@hunterbogart1923 I mean, of course they aren't necessarily supposed to lie to you, but realistically there are rarely ever consequences for them if they do. There is the law and then there is how people interpret it, If it doesn't have to do with the info on your ticket they can pretty much say whatever they want. Didn't mean to insult by telling you not to be naive. My apologies.
Hunter Bogart - So it’s best to assume the police are lying to you unless you know for sure what they are saying is true.
You have more of a right to prove you aren't drunk by doing a simple test, but you have more of a suspicion if you deny and refuse. Daym that's a great quote.
Did the money come out of the pension fund? Create incentives for the police to do the right thing.
Of course not, dummy. It came from the company that insures the city for liability claims and, as the size and number of claims increase, so does the PREMIUM that's charged to...... THE STUPID TAX PAYERS WHO KEEP ELECTING THE SAME CRIMINAL OFFICIALS. (the simple law of physics and logic called Cause and Effect)
Alorand that’s exactly what needs to happen! These bastards need to know their money will be affected when they infringe on taxpayer’s rights!
Here's an incentive to do the right thing... Lose your job if ya ain't doing it the way your employers hired you to do. We are their employers. Fuck, we, the taxpayers, are paying city employees to uphold the law, not break the law. We pay them to keep us in line and we are not keeping the cops in line. That is really stupid. We all need to demand reform, like now. Enough, already.
Rick, what the fuck does Obama have to do with anything? Go take your meds.
It's such a shame that ppl would actually need incentives to do the right thing, rather than to simply do it bc u should, or even more bc its yr JOB. Humanity can be so disappointing
The judgement should have been 70-MILLION
Love this
Can we appreciate the exchange...
"where did you learn that from" - cop
"that's the law" - law abiding citizen
well that is stupid...
you could end the situation by just following plain and simple...
instead he goes to jail and underwent all of it just to prove he is innocent
which by the way he can do by doing the test...
unless that was his real plan,
to get money from the settlement that is
@@NeykongTV the 'test' they wanted to do was a field sobriety test, it requires you to do actions that the police offer tells you to do and he will decide if you look drunk or not. It is completely subjective to the police officers view.
@@gmskong i know what the test is....
if your not drunk then surely you can do it with ease....
with dealing with situations like this its important to avoid raising further suspicion...
not complying and playing smart cause you know the law will only make your situation worst....

@@NeykongTV or they could just use a breathalyzer which tests your breath for any traces of alcohol. Completely negating the subjectivity of a FST.
Yes there will still be some false positives, but a lot less than FST's.

Did you see that? They put a "no right turn on red" sign on a pole, near the sidewalk wheelchair ramp. The sign was not hanging from a cable next to the traffic light. This is an old, if unintentional, trick to get you to not see the sign. ALWAYS be on the lookout for this !
