@orbscorbs And in some states, the department doesn't make the decision to strip certification (though the department can make the recommendation to the state), the state does. I don't know if you've seen the Pinal County, AZ Sheriff's Department channel and the "Friday's with Frank" videos, but that officer resigned from two different departments in lieu of being terminated for misconduct. He's on the Brady list in Maricopa County and Pinal County. Both of the departments where he resigned in lieu of termination recommended the state revoke his certification, but the state didn't do so.

@ToddMichaelPost 4 месяца назад

What about those who signed off on his reports and didn’t pick up the pattern? His supervisors need to be disciplined as well. This officer may have caused people to lose their jobs, suffer emotional distress and/or spent time in jail without reparation. Someone with a sensitive job such as a pilot can lose their license. The officer needs to be charged criminally and decertified. There should be no DUI charge without a blood test. Too many physical ailments can cause slurred words, imbalance, or sleepy eyes. I have a broken ankle that never healed. If someone asked me to stand on my left leg only, I would be physically incapable to do so. GBI also needs to be investigated independently by civilians because they protected the Thin Blue Line when there obviously was an abuse of power here.

@aftertheheadlines 4 месяца назад

I like how Mike Blute was towing the thin blue line covering for the department. Did they say the officer took Blutes class? 💯 a command staff would know he was falsely arresting people. There results come back .00 one time it may be a fluke, then two and three times that is a huge problem. I lead my department several times in DUI arrests. Other officers would call it a gimme when someone was over .2. The closer you got to .08 the more impressive your skills. I never had anyone under .08 unless they were on drugs. My highest was .43 and the doctors were not sure she’d make it…she drove into a lagoon.

He did this EXACT same thing. Would pull people over for nonsense and then charge them with DUI. The police dept did absolutely nothing for years and he kept getting commendations after another. But one day he pulled over the wrong guy, and this dude faught back legally and turned his whole world upside down. He was quietly let got from the force, but I wished he got convicted and serious jail time for the amount of lives he ruined. When are not longer friends, have not been for quite a long time.

The Police DUI instructor making excuses for this rouge officer is the main problem with law enforcement. They want to cover up and make excuses for each other instead of making sure officers like him are removed from law enforcement. Thankfully this officer’s department did the right thing and fired him.

@darksaint0124 4 месяца назад

I'm pretty sure he did what he set out to do since you're here focusing on his excuses rather than the fact that the entire DUI system that the cops use has little to do with protecting people on the road and everything to do with interacting with as many people as they can to find an arrest.

@michaelpayne5656 4 месяца назад

I agree that the DUI system is set up for the individual to fail! I was addressing one of the main problems with law enforcement, and that is they act more like a gang than what you’d expect from a profession that is supposed to uphold and enforce the laws. The instructor went immediately into the cover for the officer mode instead of being concerned that the officer might have done something wrong. @@darksaint0124

This channel turned the assumption upside down. Its not your job to prove your innocence, its the cops job to prove your guilt. In each of these cases the cop proved these people innocent themselves and chose to violate their rights anyway. And yes never do a field sobriety test. Not only blow in the breathalyzer but demand a hospital blood test.

@@madog1 - The physical tests can be impacted by wind, ground being level, distractions in the surrounding area, how nervous you are, how long you were sitting in the car where your muscles need to be warmed-up before beginning, what shoes you’re wearing, how tired you are, etc. The eye test (HGN) is subjective and typically isn’t recorded by their body cam close enough to show your eye movements to scrutinize in court by your attorney, so it’s just his 👮‍♂️ word.

Damn right. The same thing happened to me in Arizona. I do large scale paving jobs around the west. I can be gone for 2 months at a time. I was on my way to an interstate paving job in eastern AZ (from Nevada) and was pulled over at about 1:00 am (for nothing) No drugs, as we are drug tested and I had NOTHING to drink. I breezed past the roadside tests. He said, sorry, your eyes are glassy! What does that mean? Arrested for DUI. My pickup was towed and impounded and I went to jail. I blew a 0.00 on the breath test so they took me to the hospital for a blood draw. The results would take 6 to 8 weeks. My wife had to drive to AZ with 2500 in bail money, 1000 for my truck. We paid a lawyer 5000 for a retainer, a room for two nights, I spent 3 days in jail, and LOST my job paving, I was fired. We almost lost our house and I have kids. Right before my court appearance, they dropped the charges. I got no money back and they didn't even apologize. Basically, too bad, see ya.
