It should be a felony for a cop to commit false arrest of sober driver for DUI. Mandatory sentence of no less than 5 years in jail should be imposed on the cop turned criminal.
The roadside bozos walk away with no consequences from false DUI arrests, meanwhile it costs the victims thousands that they'll never be repaid, and for any victim employed in a profession where they have to answer to a licensing board like healthcare workers or need to obtain/maintain a top security clearance, the absurd 6-8 month wait to get the clean drug screen back will be devastating.
Crazy thing is these were state troopers and not some podunk small town police officers or county sheriff's deputies. In these parts of the US of A the troopers are far and away the better LEOs. Besides, even with the battery of psychological testing most go through, they usually weed them out in the larger forces, such as large cities and counties, and almost all state police. There are idiots in the civilian population, and there are idiots in the various police forces. People are people.
Not true at all. People can recover and even come out further ahead than had they not been arrested at all. I know plenty of business owners and people in the trades with records, who earn a decent living. A record isn't the end of the world.
My brother as a long haul trucker was pulled over and they accused him of DUI, in TN. He asked for a breathalyser. They said, "We don't do that". Arrested him even though he did everything they asked. Left his load/rig on the side of the road. Took him to jail. His company had to send someone to pick up the load. A family member had to find $3000 to bail him out. A family member also had to drive seven hours to get him. His CDL was revoked until it came back clean. I'm that time he lost his vehicle, couldn't get work, lost a huge amount of weight while waiting almost a year(11 months) for the results to come back negative. In that time he had a massive heart attack which left him permanently disabled. Because his heart function is so poor now he's been permanently barred from having a CDL.Not one lawyer would help him .
This may just be a coincidence, but, the bully in high school who stole my gloves with his gang backing him up and a vicious smirk on his face, went on to become a deputy sheriff
It’s funny how millions of blind people in this country will argue oh it’s just a couple bad apples here and there yet hundreds of these videos get uploaded every week.
I just posted I think making false DUI arrests should be a felony for the officer that in this trend that's going across the country right away. You can't be a police officer if you have a felony
They do it because if they end up being right, it’s a good arrest and if they end up being wrong nothing happens to them. Legal system in this country is such a joke….
No, they take him to the ER to get blood drawn. So he has to pay all THOSE expenses as well. Or at least the taxpayers in that county will have to pay em now, after the lawsuit.
@@OneHippiesMusings I've seen videos on YT where the officers tell him that blood work at the hospital will be paid for by the police. Guess it varies from state to state there.
because they are hoping the person has weed show up on the blood test. THC can show up in your blood even if it has been days since you smoked or had an edible. This is not fair policing and is a scam to try to punish legal marijuana users.
Absolutely. There is no reason to ever trust a police officer. It's us vs them. They are trained that the people are enemy combatants. They protect and serve government interests. Not the people. If it serves the government to plant drugs then that's perfectly fine within the scope of how they are trained.
I don't think qualified immunity will be a problem here, as it's already clearly established law that you can't arrest a sober person for DUI. It can always be raised as a defense, but I don't think the judge will be interested in even considering that direction on this case, given how straightforward and egregious these facts appear to be.
@@IRaoulDukeNot true not all PD's have immunity, I believe NM did away with it a couple years ago. Their greatest defense is the body cam, but unfortunately many officers manipulate this by shutting it off or muting. Without immunity officers still are able to get liability insurance much like constables or people in the medical field. This police state behavior has to stop.
@@jjjones8609 The jury should be told that. However I think they argue it isn't destroying evidence since it was never made rather than erasing evidence.
@@wintron I agree it's evidence manufacturing when you manipulate what is on the recordings by turning it on and off just saying what they will defend it under.
Tow truck driver: Was he drunk? The officer then conveniently turns off his bodycam audio and answers him. You can't make this stuff up. Corruption so blatant and obvious.
It's looks a lot like a crime family in cahoots with the police department. We arrest drivers you tow the cars and get the impound fees. Local councils are in on the scam too.
Never submit to a field sobriety test for it holds no weught in court or the law. Make the cop take you to the hospital for a blood draw at the police department's expense.
Wrong in court the test can be used to show signs of being impaired. Also, you can go ahead and do blood or get your license taken away simple as that; you better hope you’re doing right and don’t have drugs in your system.
@Sportfury4400 I am a 71 year old white man and used to be a "Support The Police" guy no matter what.

They don't do breathalyzer because field sobriety tests are subjective - so everyone will ALWAYS fail. That means the car can be towed (and you can be damned sure someone is getting a cut of those towing & storage fees), plus they can charge for the blood test no matter what comes back from that. Its all about money for them. Pay to fight it (and likely win), but they still get paid! Literal highway robbery.
“Can state troopers just turn off their audio?” Absolutely not. Complete BS where cops somehow feel they have the power to arrest and convict anyone for anything by fabricating non-existent crimes and laws. If it comes from the top and this is sanctioned from above, then these crooked POSes need federal intervention and be dealt with by full force of the law the way the rest of us would be… But do we see POSes punished for these (and other) illegal acts? Not often enough. Probably investigated internally and found guilty of no wrongdoing….
“Can they turn their audio off?” They can do whatever they like as long as nobody punishes them for it. They are like children and will seek the boundaries.
It's not just for ruining lives. Those cops were probably vying for awards from MADD for making a high number of DUI arrests, and they probably wanted that NHTSA grant money that also comes with a high number of arrests.
@@tynao2029 who said it’s easy? There is absolutely NOTHING you can do until the charges get dropped. Charges won’t get dropped until the results of the blood tests are confirmed. It’s in the hand of the cops. I’ve seen that take 8 months to a year. In the meantime they will get you to plead to a lesser charge. So it’s not easy unless you have the dollars for the attorney to represent you in the ENDLESS court appearances. The cops will purposefully drag it out as long as they can. It’s far from easy.
Well what the fact that there are so many cases like this proves is that they can just say you're DUI... It can be a guess or they can be lying but we know that they don't know for a fact...
The cop just KNEW the kid had pot on him (he obviously didn't), so he staged a false arrest for an excuse to search him and search his car (I still don't understand why they towed it when the mom could have driven it home, but that gives them an excuse to search the car before it is towed). So basically a kid went to jail because a cop couldn't admit he was WRONG about his hunch! Yes, there should be SEVERE consequences for that.
We can thank MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving) for this. That's exactly what they do, award cops simply for the number of arrests, not convictions of DUI made They award cops with vacations, cash, and even new cars!
@@Timbrock1000 I had a PO complain about MADD - a lot of probations can be shortened based on the discretion of the PO, but not DWI's in my state, and she said it was because of lobbying from MADD
These troopers need to be arrested and charged. The criminals on scene are them. They are abusing innocent citizens and practicing malicious retaliation, false arrest, kidnapping, lying under oath. They need harsh punishments of 5-10 years in jail. Where is justice?
Any cop that mutes or turns off a body camera for any reason should be charged with tampering with evidence and have their certification revoked permanently. Any cop that arrests someone without evidence of a crime should be in prison for at least 10 years.
first off, do not resist. cooperate to an extent. you do not have to answer any questions. if a cop pulls you out of your vehicle, he has already determined you are going to jail. there's nothing you can do to fight it on the side of the road except politely refusing a field sobriety test. make sure their body camera's and audio are on and recording. hire a lawyer.
Any law enforcement that turns off the camera or sound should be fired and go to jail for one year. Because you are doing something wrong if you have to cover it up
Treat it like destroying evidence in any other case: assume that whatever was said is exculpatory. Let the defense lawyer tell the jury what he thinks the officer was saying, and the officer doesn't get to object.
When the judge sees that the body camera was muted during court proceedings, the case should be dismissed. And any cops who muted their cameras should be disciplined and fined.
I don't think your comment says what you wanted it to. This is no longer a criminal case about the DUI; it is now a civil lawsuit against the troopers and the department for the wrongful arrest. The muted body cam evidence would help the case not get it dismissed.
At the very least, put them on a list of unreliable witnesses. Next time they go on the witness stand, the case gets thrown out immediately. They need fysical evidence to even write a ticket. Their word is never believed again.
In these sorts of cases, even if chaefes are dropped, best case you spent time in jail then had to pay $$$ on a lawyer. Many can't afford that, put them in a deep hole. Often a lerson loses job bc of being absent or just bc of the weight of the charges. Aperson could end up losing their housing. This could all ruin a persons life, even IF charges dropped. Cop won't see any punishment, so free to do again. Ruin more lives. Some might end up wrongly convicted, and ruin life beyond repair. All bc of cop ego.
Depends sometimes the judge will always side with the cop and help with qualified immunity. Hope that isn't the case here since millions of people will see this video.
Turning off body camera should be an automatic dismissal and there needs to be a database used nationally with cops that are blacklisted. Get rid of qualified immunity.
A lot of times people will dislike a video because of the message or content. Like adding an angry face to a post that pisses you off. Troopers arresting innocent people more than likely pissed a few people off.
Police officers are by far some of the biggest liars, they will lie if it means it will better the case against someone. I would imagine 9 out of 10 wouls do this
@@karinaz8756 by the way I read some of your comment that you posted on another you said that you should not accept taking a sobriety test you do know that they can arrest you for not taking it right
@AGotti-lj6on a sobriety test is subjective to the pig performing the test. In fl we can decline the useless test but if we refuse a breathalyzer you'll probably lose your license for a year.
They thought if he wasn't drunk he probably smokes weed, so we can get this dirty drug addict off our streets. That's why they were lying saying, "We don't use them anymore" BS. Here is what ChatGPT says. As of October 2024, the Tennessee State Police still use field breathalyzers for DUI stops. Tennessee operates under an "implied consent" law, which means that by driving, you implicitly agree to take a breathalyzer test if an officer has probable cause to suspect you are driving under the influence. Refusing a breathalyzer test can result in penalties, such as suspension of your driver's license, even if you're not convicted of a DUI. Field breathalyzer tests are generally administered when an officer has reasonable suspicion of impairment. However, blood tests require either a warrant or explicit consent from the driver, as they are considered more intrusive. It’s also important to note that while field sobriety tests (like walking in a straight line or standing on one leg) can be refused without immediate legal penalties, refusing a breathalyzer comes with significant consequences in Tennessee( Altshuler Law )( Parkerson Santel, PLLC )( Knox Defense ).
They were hoping he would be on drugs. Almost every one is on some type of prescription medication or smokes weed or drinks once or twice a week or actually does drugs, and at least one of those will almost always show up and can be used to justify their arrest. Anyone who's been arrested for DUI for years has known this, their field sobriety test is useless if not recorded anyway because they are not doctors and even if they were there are a hilarious number of other reasons you would fail, like disorders that prevent your balance or mess with your eyes, neither of which you are legally obligated to reveal to them because they don't effect your driving abilities anyway because you don't need to be able to balance in a car and it doesn't actually effect your vision if your eye muscles don't track motion perfectly because your brain compensates for it and no one can see through your own eyes. Like for instance having a lazy eye causes you to fail, especially if you have one that isn't immediately noticeable and never needed to be corrected. And having ataxia will make you fail because you can't balance right
@Pepesmall yeah, a friend of mine has had horizontal gaze nystagmus since he was a kid. Eyes are always slightly moving like theyre having trouble tracking but he sees just fine. He'd fail every DUI stop ever just because of it. Its best to just not do the tests at all. Not to justifying anything these jackoff troopers are doing but, dont give them any more ammunition to justify their witchhunt in court. The field sobriety tests exist to incriminate you more. Not to exhonerate you. If youre stopped and asked to perform field sobriety tests, 9/10 times youre going to jail
Don't do breathalyzer by the side of the road. Wait for them to arrest you, then take a blood test or a *calibrated* breathalyzer. The one on the side of the road can't be used as evidence, only as probable cause to arrest you.
So you are saying that when the police made. A false statements on a Affidavit to get a warrant for my arrest. Based on fraudulent statements by police officers. That it is to bad for me even though a crime never happened. And please don't tell me to get another. Lying cheating piece of crap lawyer who knew the truth. But threw me under the bus anyway.
Meanwhile, the Trooper is spitting like he has chewing tobacco. How can that be allowed on the job for a Trooper in the middle of a traffic stop. Unprofessional and disgusting.
Unlawful arrest! Them 2 THP, should be fired & fined $350,000 per false arrest, false reporting! The false arrested victim, should get a settlement of $1.5m!!!
That's why they formally arrest people before ever giving them a shot at an official breathalyzer, and many don't carry PBTs "because they aren't admissible in court". More like they are a good way to clear drivers of drunk driving. Of course, other impairments require a blood test, but the ol' "strong smell of alcohol coming from breath" lie could be dispelled.
Look at it from a modern cop's POV. Reduce your IQ to 89 for a moment and consider that bringing out the breathalyzer is a wasted 5 minutes. If you use it, get a 0.00 reading, and can arrest anyway "because drugs," that's 5 minutes that could've been spent eating donuts & watching pr0n in the squad later in the shift. Cop points to his brain and says work smarter, not harder.

Never do a field sobriety test. They are not objective, and they will never cause the officer to stop pursuing charges. The only purpose of the test is to build evidence against you. Don't comply with that. You have no obligation to incriminate yourself.
@@TheresaHall-vl1bm Exactly. Whether you pass or not is solely determined by the opinion of the person conducting the test. It is a terrible idea to participate in that kind of a "test".
@@darthyoda1238depends on the state. Some states have wised up and do NOT yank the license if you refuse FST. Check the laws of your state (and prior to leaving on a trip - whichever states you will be traveling through). MOST states allow you to refuse both FST and Preliminary Breath Test (because those can not distinguish between mouth alcohol and lung contents alcohol). You **will** still get arrested and have to go to court, but the Fifth Amendment ensures you do NOT have to help provide any evidence against yourself. FST are somewhat subjective, cops DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR TRAINING FROM NHTSA and many do not even remember what their training tells them to look for in order to have RAS to pull you over for DUI. Plus most cops DO NOT ASK if there is any physical reason you can't perform them. They also frequently have people perform the tests on a sloped surface - LIKE HIGHWAYS. I have Fibromyalgia. It affects my balance. I had the ends of my right tibia and fibula surgically reattached. I have Ehlers Danloe Syndrome which affects my joints and I have *literally* sprained each ankle at least once just by stepping off a sidewalk/curb into parking lots. I also sometimes have a very hard time knowing if my foot bottom is level/flat. I have mild strabismus so I have resting Nystagmus. I can not perform ANY of the FSTs because of medical/natural reasons without failing them completely sober.
I would agree. In fact, someone blowing a 0 should result in the officer being jailed and the victim taken back to their car. If the car has already been impounded use the officer’s owed pay to release the car.
The more DUI arrests an officer makes, they can get preferential shift assignments. They also get banquet dinners with gift cards & trophies from MADD. Then they will apply for grants from the federal government saying "look at all the drunk driving arrests we have, we need $ to fight this".
This is why laws will be going into affect in the future where cops will no longer be able to pull you over for minor traffic violations. You get a simple ticket in the mail.
100%. The people least likely to abuse power are those who avoid obtaining it. Once upon a time, I had a two day gig (just few hours) writing parking tickets that resulted in fines and tows. The sense of power - just that TINY amount - was intoxicating. I never wanted that again. It corrupts.

Crazy thing is these were state troopers and not some podunk small town police officers or county sheriff's deputies. In these parts of the US of A the troopers are far and away the better LEOs.

There are idiots in the civilian population, and there are idiots in the various police forces. People are people.
Not true at all. People can recover and even come out further ahead than had they not been arrested at all. I know plenty of business owners and people in the trades with records, who earn a decent living.
A record isn't the end of the world.
My brother as a long haul trucker was pulled over and they accused him of DUI, in TN. He asked for a breathalyser. They said, "We don't do that". Arrested him even though he did everything they asked. Left his load/rig on the side of the road. Took him to jail. His company had to send someone to pick up the load. A family member had to find $3000 to bail him out. A family member also had to drive seven hours to get him. His CDL was revoked until it came back clean. I'm that time he lost his vehicle, couldn't get work, lost a huge amount of weight while waiting almost a year(11 months) for the results to come back negative. In that time he had a massive heart attack which left him permanently disabled. Because his heart function is so poor now he's been permanently barred from having a CDL.Not one lawyer would help him .

Qualified immunity needs to go away for all public servants!
This.
I don't think qualified immunity will be a problem here, as it's already clearly established law that you can't arrest a sober person for DUI. It can always be raised as a defense, but I don't think the judge will be interested in even considering that direction on this case, given how straightforward and egregious these facts appear to be.
No , they wouldn't be able to do their jobs. It does need to be revoked on a per incident issue like this though.
True!
@@IRaoulDukeNot true not all PD's have immunity, I believe NM did away with it a couple years ago.

The cop just KNEW the kid had pot on him (he obviously didn't), so he staged a false arrest for an excuse to search him and search his car (I still don't understand why they towed it when the mom could have driven it home, but that gives them an excuse to search the car before it is towed).

When the judge sees that the body camera was muted during court proceedings, the case should be dismissed. And any cops who muted their cameras should be disciplined and fined.
Disciplined and fined? They should be arrested and sent to prison.
I don't think your comment says what you wanted it to. This is no longer a criminal case about the DUI; it is now a civil lawsuit against the troopers and the department for the wrongful arrest. The muted body cam evidence would help the case not get it dismissed.
At the very least, put them on a list of unreliable witnesses.
Next time they go on the witness stand, the case gets thrown out immediately. They need fysical evidence to even write a ticket. Their word is never believed again.
In these sorts of cases, even if chaefes are dropped, best case you spent time in jail then had to pay $$$ on a lawyer. Many can't afford that, put them in a deep hole.

@AGotti-lj6on a sobriety test is subjective to the pig performing the test. In fl we can decline the useless test but if we refuse a breathalyzer you'll probably lose your license for a year.
They thought if he wasn't drunk he probably smokes weed, so we can get this dirty drug addict off our streets. That's why they were lying saying, "We don't use them anymore" BS. Here is what ChatGPT says.
As of October 2024, the Tennessee State Police still use field breathalyzers for DUI stops. Tennessee operates under an "implied consent" law, which means that by driving, you implicitly agree to take a breathalyzer test if an officer has probable cause to suspect you are driving under the influence. Refusing a breathalyzer test can result in penalties, such as suspension of your driver's license, even if you're not convicted of a DUI.
Field breathalyzer tests are generally administered when an officer has reasonable suspicion of impairment. However, blood tests require either a warrant or explicit consent from the driver, as they are considered more intrusive.
It’s also important to note that while field sobriety tests (like walking in a straight line or standing on one leg) can be refused without immediate legal penalties, refusing a breathalyzer comes with significant consequences in Tennessee(

They were hoping he would be on drugs. Almost every one is on some type of prescription medication or smokes weed or drinks once or twice a week or actually does drugs, and at least one of those will almost always show up and can be used to justify their arrest. Anyone who's been arrested for DUI for years has known this, their field sobriety test is useless if not recorded anyway because they are not doctors and even if they were there are a hilarious number of other reasons you would fail, like disorders that prevent your balance or mess with your eyes, neither of which you are legally obligated to reveal to them because they don't effect your driving abilities anyway because you don't need to be able to balance in a car and it doesn't actually effect your vision if your eye muscles don't track motion perfectly because your brain compensates for it and no one can see through your own eyes. Like for instance having a lazy eye causes you to fail, especially if you have one that isn't immediately noticeable and never needed to be corrected. And having ataxia will make you fail because you can't balance right

Never ever ever submit to field sobriety tests. Breathalyzer or nothing.
Don't do breathalyzer by the side of the road. Wait for them to arrest you, then take a blood test or a *calibrated* breathalyzer. The one on the side of the road can't be used as evidence, only as probable cause to arrest you.

That never stopped them before. More likely the state doesnt want to ponny up for updated breathalyzers and their old ones are no longer certified.
That's why they formally arrest people before ever giving them a shot at an official breathalyzer, and many don't carry PBTs "because they aren't admissible in court". More like they are a good way to clear drivers of drunk driving. Of course, other impairments require a blood test, but the ol' "strong smell of alcohol coming from breath" lie could be dispelled.
Look at it from a modern cop's POV. Reduce your IQ to 89 for a moment and consider that bringing out the breathalyzer is a wasted 5 minutes. If you use it, get a 0.00 reading, and can arrest anyway "because drugs," that's 5 minutes that could've been spent eating donuts & watching pr0n in the squad later in the shift. Cop points to his brain and says work smarter, not harder.
Now it’s a problem?🙄
It is a mockery of justice to convict a man of a crime he did not or could not commit
“Can state troopers just turn off their audio?” Absolutely not. Complete BS where cops somehow feel they have the power to arrest and convict anyone for anything by fabricating non-existent crimes and laws. If it comes from the top and this is sanctioned from above, then these crooked POSes need federal intervention and be dealt with by full force of the law the way the rest of us would be… But do we see POSes punished for these (and other) illegal acts? Not often enough. Probably investigated internally and found guilty of no wrongdoing….
Sad thing is it happens all the time....
Never do a field sobriety test. They are not objective, and they will never cause the officer to stop pursuing charges. The only purpose of the test is to build evidence against you. Don't comply with that. You have no obligation to incriminate yourself.
And considering the only word that matters to the test is the cops you are lucky if you pass
@@TheresaHall-vl1bm Exactly. Whether you pass or not is solely determined by the opinion of the person conducting the test. It is a terrible idea to participate in that kind of a "test".
Then they just take your license for refusal unfortunately
@@darthyoda1238depends on the state. Some states have wised up and do NOT yank the license if you refuse FST. Check the laws of your state (and prior to leaving on a trip - whichever states you will be traveling through). MOST states allow you to refuse both FST and Preliminary Breath Test (because those can not distinguish between mouth alcohol and lung contents alcohol). You **will** still get arrested and have to go to court, but the Fifth Amendment ensures you do NOT have to help provide any evidence against yourself. FST are somewhat subjective, cops DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR TRAINING FROM NHTSA and many do not even remember what their training tells them to look for in order to have RAS to pull you over for DUI. Plus most cops DO NOT ASK if there is any physical reason you can't perform them. They also frequently have people perform the tests on a sloped surface - LIKE HIGHWAYS.
I have Fibromyalgia. It affects my balance. I had the ends of my right tibia and fibula surgically reattached. I have Ehlers Danloe Syndrome which affects my joints and I have *literally* sprained each ankle at least once just by stepping off a sidewalk/curb into parking lots. I also sometimes have a very hard time knowing if my foot bottom is level/flat. I have mild strabismus so I have resting Nystagmus. I can not perform ANY of the FSTs because of medical/natural reasons without failing them completely sober.
Truth, they already know how to fake it against you. Refuse because you do not have an attorney present with an expert opinion from a kinesiologist.
This is pathological. I cannot think of another word for it. Arresting someone who is completely sober for DUI is a pathological thing to do.
I would agree. In fact, someone blowing a 0 should result in the officer being jailed and the victim taken back to their car. If the car has already been impounded use the officer’s owed pay to release the car.
Sounds like Armed Robbery and Kidnapping to me.
it costs you money to defend your self. and these cops are hoping you dont have the money to do so
Think about what a shitty person you have to be to knowingly falsely arrest someone like this.
Sociopaths
By the way, have you ever looked into the studies about law enforcement personnel and perpetration of domestic violence
Shame on their parents 😢
@@wingatebarraclough3553I have. These are not people we need to be giving extra rights to.
Feel sorry for his wife, if he has one......NOT!
The more DUI arrests an officer makes, they can get preferential shift assignments. They also get banquet dinners with gift cards & trophies from MADD. Then they will apply for grants from the federal government saying "look at all the drunk driving arrests we have, we need $ to fight this".
The people who created MADD have said they organization has gone of the rails and needs to be stopped
MADD finished their work. Drunk driving is both illegal and frowned upon by the public. But they were collecting too much money to just fold up shop.
And promotions!
This is why laws will be going into affect in the future where cops will no longer be able to pull you over for minor traffic violations. You get a simple ticket in the mail.
these troopers need to be held accountable, I'd award millions!
Yeah bro is about have all the drinks he wants lol
If you’re a predator, the best place to hide is in a position of power and trust. Truly despicable.
100%. The people least likely to abuse power are those who avoid obtaining it. Once upon a time, I had a two day gig (just few hours) writing parking tickets that resulted in fines and tows. The sense of power - just that TINY amount - was intoxicating. I never wanted that again. It corrupts.
"We've investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong."
"An exhaustive, an comprehensive investigation".
So much for the "few bad apples" argument. This is just another example of how corrupt cops are everywhere.
Yup!
"We dont do breathalyzers, we predetermined guilt then make people do funny moves for us"
