It’s because we have officials that continue to employ these types of people (still works for county in a “support role”) that the problem never ends. Cudos to the arresting officer!
He was able to get off this time and probably countless times prior which led to his DUI. If the cops didn’t let him sleep it off here he wouldn’t been held accountable. But he kept being rewarded for bad behavior. Real piece of work
Have you seen his traffic stop video.... apparently he got away with it twice before but he had to be dragged out of his car and dragged into the police car, took over 20 minutes of him refusing.... before that he was swerving so badly he was literally fully in the shoulder, he was an absolute disgrace to law enforcement.
One can critique this video from a legal standpoint all day. Simple facts are that this was the third time he was pinched for DUI, and finally, that if this little bit of filming was never made public he would of got off this one too. DON'T ever forget about the 30 seconds of silence on all axons, the cops ALWAYS use that to their advantage. I've been litigating these types of things for over 40 years and believe me, nothing has changed.
Um yeah. They have to let him go. Being drunk and have verbal disputes is NOT a crime, within ones private home. He has no history of physical violence or even committing acts of violence.
James your an idiot.. what did you want the officer to do.. ?? arrest him? For what? its not illegal to drink beers in your home, its not illegal to argue with your wife... to bad its not illegal to arrest people for being stupid then we could arrest you.
Cops looking after cops all of them should have been fired .this is why cops are getting such a bad rap because a lot of them are bad and it's ruining it for the good ones.
So he's drunk and verbally abusing his wife so normally has to leave the house for the night but because he's a cop he should go to bed like a good little boy. What would happen if started again and he shot his wife. Anybody else would be ordered to leave and go to a hotel.
Can't order somebody from their domicile. So either collect evidence to support a crime, or don't bother dispatching to investigate. Telling, asking, demanding parties to separate does nothing to stop your scenario.
I could tell the nov 2017 wasnt the first time. He ised every excise like.."crap this used to work" "flashes his badge" with the facial expression of "hey it me,a cop"" then he says "i will sleep it off in the car" then he keeps pushing excuses like "im gonna lose my job" good i l9ve the cop who arrested him. I hope these charges are looked at and brougjt into court from the nov arrest.
This is the problem. Wasn't charged in 2016 for DUI. And now he can beat his wife and not be charged. WHERE'S it going to stop. What has to happen before this man is held accountable for his life choices. Anyone not a cop would be locked away by now.. where is the equality.
But I DO like seeing stories like this! He's an idiot. I DO like seeing stories of strong cops ensuring the bad cops get what they deserve-unemployment, divorce, public humiliation, mental intake, suicidal intent, maybe actually going thru with it, oh yes, treat them like anyone else driving under the influence-well done arresting officer...thank you.
Usually we separate parties in situations like this, but being as you're a cop, we don't do what we do with everyone else. And this is why police do this! Because they can. They know when another officer shows up, it's just a buddy who's gonna handle it. How nice is that. And this goes on all through the law enforcement chain. Cops, DA's and judges. You don't prosecute me, and I won't prosecute you. If I get your case in court to prosecute you, I'll do a crappy job and leave a lot of holes so you'll get off. If the jury doesn't let you off, the judge will give a BS sentence. The cops in Jail will take care of you for the short time you MAY spend in there. It's all set up. There's your justice, and then there's their justice. Nice, huh?
Lol. Being a Freemason has nothing to do with be a crappy person. That not what we want in our ranks. We do not take people like this poor excuse for a person in our brotherhood. I love how everyone who isn’t a Freemason thinks they know what we/they do when they know nothing but what they have been told by people who don’t get accepted into them. Or someone who thinks they know what Freemason do and are but don’t have a clue. Freemason is about learning to be a better person and a better man for all mankind. It helps young men grow into strong men who make good decisions. Unlike what this forms Lt. with the police department. It’s apparently he has a problem making good decisions and being a good example to follow. I would put money on it he’s not a Freemason and has never been one. I will look him up in the directory to see and if he is I will make sure he is removed
double standard big time if a regular person did that they are treated like shit and definitely do not get off with a slap on the wrist. Thats why its hard to respect authority
O- Tay I got a dui 3 years ago, high bac. Got 18 months probation. Zero jail. Never a cop to begin with. Not that I'm defending this clown, just saying first timers usually get a break regardless who you are.
Tribute Guy they let him get back into his car and drive home. What happens if he had hit and killed someone? He should be in jail and the cops who let him go should be severely reprimanded.
ziggy morris I meant being sentenced to jail as a result of a dui conviction. I thought he called cab to get picked up from the airport? I didn't think they'd let him drive. That's incredible!!
That's how it works in Kent County Michigan. Seen so many cases of people in authority getting off because fellows cover up for the others. I guess up there in Northern MI, not too many to cover your butt when it goes down.
They are commanded to arrest the male when a female accuses of anything. They are ordered to arrest someone. This Brian got off. But then got pulled over Super Drunk and that cop was worried about his career and the recording.
I bet he was really, really nice to that daughter who was too afraid to ride with him. I bet he bought her a car or something very special he was so appreciative.
"The girl had told a United employee that she was afraid of someone and told police that she was afraid to leave with her father, the report shows. The portion of the report written by Zahina said the girl, who was crying and visibly shaken, told him she was supposed to get a ride home from the airport from her father, but thought he was acting strange and appeared intoxicated when she met him in the baggage claim area. Zahina then approached Filipiak." Filipiak appears on airport surveillance footage provided to The Ann Arbor News for about 43 minutes during the incident. No documentation obtained by The News showed further contact with Filipiak that day. In a second incident about 9:45 p.m. Nov. 1, 2013, police were called to a home in Pinckney for a reported verbal domestic situation, a police report obtained from the Pinckney Police Department shows. The responding officer, Officer Nate Watson, interviewed Filipiak and his wife separately at the home, according to audio recording from a dashboard camera. Filipiak can be heard on the recording introducing himself and telling Watson that he and his wife were going through marital problems and that he was a cop from Washtenaw County. "So, I've had some beers, I'm not going to deny that," he said. He also told Watson that the argument had not gotten physical and, when asked, said there had not been prior domestic incidents requiring police response to the home. Filipiak's wife can be heard telling Watson that her husband was seeking alcohol treatment. However, she said he had left the home and come back, was "obviously drunk" that night and wouldn't leave when asked. She claimed Filipiak was being verbally abusive. When Watson asked about prior incidents, Filipiak's wife said a report had been filed at an airport when Filipiak showed up "highly intoxicated." She asked that a preliminary breath test be done, but Watson said it wouldn't make a difference, because no crime was committed. She indicated that she did not believe the argument would become physical, but wanted Filipiak to leave and didn't think anyone would let him stay with them. Watson said officials would typically hope to separate a couple for the night, under the circumstances, but said Filipiak wouldn't be able to go somewhere else on his own accord. "If he's been drinking - I mean, I can smell it on him - he definitely can't be driving," Watson said. Filipiak indicated he would immediately go to bed. The interaction with the couple lasted about eight minutes, according to the audio recording. The case was then closed. Filipiak has been employed with the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office for 21 years. Sheriff Clayton reiterated Friday that Filipiak's actions in the November incident were "unacceptable." "I am far from comfortable with the incident," he said. "I am far from comfortable with the situation - I'm angered, disappointed and I'm frustrated, but I am more than comfortable with the corrective response that we've put in place, given the circumstance that we had to navigate." All aspects of employment, including time with the department, past incidents and severity of the situation, are taken into account in corrective action determinations, he said. He said he could not comment on specific personnel issues or what action was taken in prior incidents, but said when the public or anyone is reviewing the matter, it's important to recognize opinions may differ based on the amount of information known. "We don't ignore behavior that
