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.
“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.
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 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.
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.
"if i blood test you right here--" yes please. "no, and i'm also arresting you for DUI." wait, so you don't actually take people's blood and test it, like you said? what about a breath-- "and we don't use breathalyzers either. oh well, better luck next time, bub" *impounds your car*
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.
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.
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
No, they've always been like this. There's just more cameras now. It's why cops hate body cams; they can't frame people or commit other crimes as easily as they used to. It bears out in their clearance rates which have steadily dropped since standards of evidence have increased. They are by-and-large incompetent criminals and now they are recording evidence of their own crimes but are too stupid to realize it.
@Sportfury4400 I am a 71 year old white man and used to be a "Support The Police" guy no matter what. But with the citizens now learning and knowing their rights, the phrase " just comply and they'll be no problems" crowd is dwindling fast. With the police corruption on the rise and the suspension and firings or charged and convicted cases rising, it's hard to respect them. I'm all for getting the people doing serious crimes off the streets, but dragging a pregnant woman out of a car over a taillight or going to the wrong address on a search warrant. These things happen daily somewhere in this country. Respect for them is fading, and they've earned the lack of respect.
@@kendallcoleman839 I agree with you, more people are waking up. Unfortunately there are millions that just won’t. Millions think the economy and country is and has been doing well since 2020.
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.
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".
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.
This happened to me. Arrested,taken to jail,car towed. I blew a 0.00. They kept me for 24hrs. I had to pay to get my car back. I was out of town and had to have a friend come get me. Vigilance committees are the only chance left.
One reason might be because every year M.A.D.D. gives a CASH REWARD to the cop that makes the most DUI ARRESTS in the country. Not who gets the most CONVICTIONS, but ARRESTS. The cop gets the reward even if EVERY case he generated got thrown out.

@Michael_J_M14 yeah, I know. That's why some departments don't do breathalyzers, they only do blood tests so they can see what's in your system but doesn't affect your driving, and then charge you for it.
The field sobriety test on sober subjects has an accuracy that, depending on the test, varies from 77% to 65%, so they might as well flip a coin and arrest one in three subjects, and maybe that's exactly what they do
@@auridion2037 That’s not true. You can lose your license if arrested and refuse the test at the police station or hospital. You cannot be penalized for refusing a field sobriety test.

How many people do they arrest knowing they have smoked in the last 30 days . But are completely sober during arrest. Just because it's in their blood test , they are guilty ? This is sickening how they get away with this
@@Sportfury4400 imagine someone stupid enough to think that if you smoked a week ago , that would effect your driving . Why anyone , think that giving a dwi from a week ago would be ok.

No wonder so many people hate the cops , because they see or read about totally sober people getting arrested after police go on a " fishing expedition " and then lie to you, that you committed a crime !!!
F ing corrupt trooper should be fired, charged with tampering, obstruction, kidnapping, false detainment!!! He turned off his body camera twice!!!! And f ing State attorneys are protecting him
no prior arrests will be cleared. a lawsuit means the victim that sued will get a paycheck BUT have to sign a non disclosure agreement which gives the police agency the ability to NOT admit wrong doing, and their victim will NOT be aloud to speak about the situation ever again
Blame organizations like M.A.D.D. for this, they give Money to Departments based on the number of D.U.I. arrests they conduct; not the number of Convictions.
Yup! I got arrested back in July for false DUI, only difference is I refused everything. Now I’m being prosecuted based on my refusal alone, and the officers bs testimony
"We don't do breathalyzers"??? So how tf do they determine if someone is drunk?? Field sobriety tests are completely arbitrary so those mean nothing, clearly. This is just insane to me. Innocent citizens being arrested for absolutely NOTHING. The way this pig acted proves that not only is this a regular practice for them but that he knows he won't get in trouble for it. He won't get even a slap on the wrist; and tax payers will foot the bill again for their crimes. I KNOW there are good cops out there but Jesus are they few and far between! Defund the police. Abolish qualified immunity.
Why are we even allowing field sobriety anymore? It is complete subjective and allows cops to make up charges. Turning off body camera should be considered admission of guilt and violation of US code 18 section 232
It's 100% voluntary, there is not a single state with any penalty for refusing a field sobriety test. Only breath/blood test is required if they lie about smells.
As a former LEO who made many many DUI arrest I was always extremely careful because I knew the devastating effects this would have on people’s lives. It repulsive to think they didn’t care.
A field sobriety test is subjective and if they are looking for evidence they will find it no matter what your performance. These cops are prejudiced and decided the outcome before the stop was initiated
If you get arrested for DUI here are a few things that happen: 1) You have to pay fines and court costs which is money for the state. 2) Your insurance rates go up, which is money for big business. 3) Your credit rating drops so if you borrow money or get a new credit card, your interest rates will be higher, which is money for big business. 4) The officer with the arrests get commendations and raises based on number of arrests, not convictions. Now, tell me how much money it will cost to fight this charge? And how many people will this happen to that cannot afford a lawyer good enough to get, not just the charges dropped, but the arrest expunged from their record??
The field sobriety test is not reliable to charge some with a crime. I have seen very fit athletes who were totally sober fail this test. Visitors should avoid the state of Tennessee
As I already said in a previous comment, the field sobriety test on sober subjects has an accuracy that, depending on the test, varies from 77% to 65%,
We live in a police state. Read John Whitehead's A GOVERNMENT OF WOLVES: THE EMERGING AMERICAN POLICE STATE. Don't support cops, don't help them even if they're in trouble, don't talk to them, don't believe or trust them. "The object of all despotism is revenue." --Thomas Paine
TN has become a state to AVOID & move from. Make it a $1 Million dollar fine against the state/city that the false arrest are happening in. With the cop having to pay half of the fine. With all the money going "Non-taxable" to the person that they falsely arrested.
i told m6 wife eight years ago when we lived in norther california that we needed to move back to her home country in Europe . she said "why" i said " THIS " . she now agrees it was the best decision at the time .
This is a perfect example of why body cams should turn on when they are attached, and the officer is not allowed to take it off until end of shift. Out of control!!! Hope they dont get to hide behind qualified immunity for this garbage.

There are limits I would assume. Imagine if you smoked a week ago and were involved in a fatal car accident, a dui would be your last concern.
@@Sportfury4400 imagine someone stupid enough to think that if you smoked a week ago , that would effect your driving . Why anyone , think that giving a dwi from a week ago would be ok.
This just shows you to never consent to a field sobriety test.
This had NOTHING to do with tints. What they wanted was to CAF the truck and hurt the family of someone they don't like!
Still not clear on why they can tow the car when the mom was right there to drive it home. Any lawyers want to explain that to me?
@@elhoward7440 She was in a different car. It's tough to drive two vehicles at the same time.
This is exactly why everyone i know from Tennessee has a record for stupid shit like this.
This is crazy. They should be in prison for this. Period. Criminals with a badge. Nothing less. Nothing more. Scumbags
Don’t do breathalyzers? Wow, I knew Tennessee was way behind the rest of the US, but I guess I didn’t know it was decades behind.
This is why American cops wear cameras of shame.
It should be a felony to hit the off button on those cameras.
Should be able to sue the cops money and take their property instead of a lawsuit coming for tax payers, also these tyrants need jail time.
No Mute, No Pause, No Redaction
So they would arrest him for a DUI if he had smoked weed the day before….
The state or county gets more money for dui arrests, not convictions but arrests. That needs to stop now.
They get more for convictions than just an arrest.
We are hearing of these stories over and over....but we still have people supporting these CRIMINALS !!
Cause boot lickers will always say it’s fake news
the cop needs to be charged with kidnapping
It's a money grab . Get a good lawyer not one of the departments in the good boy club who would give a kickback to the cop that had you arrested !!!
No wonder so many people hate the cops , because they see or read about totally sober people getting arrested after police go on a
" fishing expedition " and then lie to you, that you committed a crime !!!
the 11 dislike on this video is from a cop that likes to arrest sober people.
this whole thing sounds wrong, I wish the DOJ would step in.
In the absence of a crime, there IS NO qualified immunity
F ing corrupt trooper should be fired, charged with tampering, obstruction, kidnapping, false detainment!!! He turned off his body camera twice!!!! And f ing State attorneys are protecting him
They don’t use breathalyzer anymore because they’d be required to release their victims once they were proven to be sober
Both these cops need to do jail time.
What consequences (if any) do police face when they arrest somebody for a crime they did not commit???
Worst case they get a paid vacation. It’s called suspended with pay.
Abolish Qualified Immunity!!
Save our Republic..
The "ticket quota" is going to be expensive for Tennessee citizens.
All the prior arrest they made will be cleared. I'm glad they fought back legally.
no prior arrests will be cleared. a lawsuit means the victim that sued will get a paycheck BUT have to sign a non disclosure agreement which gives the police agency the ability to NOT admit wrong doing, and their victim will NOT be aloud to speak about the situation ever again
@@MatthewHensley8304bullshit
Blame organizations like M.A.D.D. for this, they give Money to Departments based on the number of D.U.I. arrests they conduct; not the number of Convictions.
Yup! I got arrested back in July for false DUI, only difference is I refused everything. Now I’m being prosecuted based on my refusal alone, and the officers bs testimony
There is no reason to have police anymore, since the supreme courts said F you to we the people! Keep america safe! Un alive a COP! 2nd A:
2:40 is being a paranoid schizophrenic a job requirement for these troopers?
"We don't do breathalyzers"???
So how tf do they determine if someone is drunk?? Field sobriety tests are completely arbitrary so those mean nothing, clearly. This is just insane to me. Innocent citizens being arrested for absolutely NOTHING. The way this pig acted proves that not only is this a regular practice for them but that he knows he won't get in trouble for it. He won't get even a slap on the wrist; and tax payers will foot the bill again for their crimes. I KNOW there are good cops out there but Jesus are they few and far between!
Defund the police. Abolish qualified immunity.
Should be a crime to turn off audio
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.
Why are we even allowing field sobriety anymore? It is complete subjective and allows cops to make up charges. Turning off body camera should be considered admission of guilt and violation of US code 18 section 232
It's 100% voluntary, there is not a single state with any penalty for refusing a field sobriety test. Only breath/blood test is required if they lie about smells.
As a former LEO who made many many DUI arrest I was always extremely careful because I knew the devastating effects this would have on people’s lives. It repulsive to think they didn’t care.
So basically a third world country that no one needs to visit.
Not really. Go deal with law enforcement in a third world country.
@@Sportfury4400 yes, in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, They want 20 bucks for speeding. They don’t falsely arrest you or physically harm you.
Manipulation of body cam should be ILLEGAL AND A FELONY
A field sobriety test is subjective and if they are looking for evidence they will find it no matter what your performance.
These cops are prejudiced and decided the outcome before the stop was initiated
If you get arrested for DUI here are a few things that happen: 1) You have to pay fines and court costs which is money for the state. 2) Your insurance rates go up, which is money for big business. 3) Your credit rating drops so if you borrow money or get a new credit card, your interest rates will be higher, which is money for big business. 4) The officer with the arrests get commendations and raises based on number of arrests, not convictions. Now, tell me how much money it will cost to fight this charge? And how many people will this happen to that cannot afford a lawyer good enough to get, not just the charges dropped, but the arrest expunged from their record??
The field sobriety test is not reliable to charge some with a crime. I have seen very fit athletes who were totally sober fail this test. Visitors should avoid the state of Tennessee
My diabetes makes my balance so bad dthat I can't pass a field sobriety test when I'm sober. Pretty sure I'd have to refuse the test on those grounds.
As I already said in a previous comment, the field sobriety test on sober subjects has an accuracy that, depending on the test, varies from 77% to 65%,
Turning off & muting the body cam should be grounds for suspension
Does the INNOCENT guy get the fees refunded for tow, storage, etc? He should as bare minimum. But i expect the suit to get them back and more
Nope they still charge him every last penny they can. If he win or the settle lawsuit, it’ll be at taxpayers dime as always.
If he wins the lawsuit he will get thousands or tens of thousands.
This kind of stuff will never end until the cops are held accountable, meaning they lose their ability to work in law enforcement ever again.
Funding, funding, funding... Follow the money.
Sue the officer pswrsonally for defamation, false arrest and kidnapping.
So that is armed kidnapping.
This appears to be a common thing in America, false dui arrests and then the cops being sued and the taxpayer having to pay
they dont do breathalyzers? wtf
Arrested for being too chill.
We live in a police state. Read John Whitehead's A GOVERNMENT OF WOLVES: THE EMERGING AMERICAN POLICE STATE. Don't support cops, don't help them even if they're in trouble, don't talk to them, don't believe or trust them. "The object of all despotism is revenue." --Thomas Paine
Also read Rise of the Warrior Cop by Radley Balko
@@MiniDevilDF Thanks for the recommendation, seen it in bookstores.
TN has become a state to AVOID & move from. Make it a $1 Million dollar fine against the state/city that the false arrest are happening in. With the cop having to pay half of the fine. With all the money going "Non-taxable" to the person that they falsely arrested.
i told m6 wife eight years ago when we lived in norther california that we needed to move back to her home country in Europe . she said "why" i said " THIS " . she now agrees it was the best decision at the time .
Great and now you can go to jail for a Facebook post. Why didn’t you say what country in Europe? Very strange and I doubt it’s true.
why didn't i say what country (germany ) ?
Becuse of crazy Mf like you troll boy
This is a perfect example of why body cams should turn on when they are attached, and the officer is not allowed to take it off until end of shift. Out of control!!! Hope they dont get to hide behind qualified immunity for this garbage.
I've seen multiple reports of arrests similar to this happening in the Nashville area.
This is the state of policing today ….. this arrest will still be counted as a DUI arrest even after all this
