I'm a nurse. If I were arrested for any reason, I would have to report that for the rest of my career for employment and licensing, even if the charges were dropped, or even if no charges were filed. False arrests ruin lives.
Until you got the arrest expunged from your record. Any damages encountered from the false arrest would likely be handled through a civil rights lawsuit.
You're absolutely right! We're supposed to be afforded due process. But you know you can't even buy a gun if you've been charged with something punishable up to a year. Nevermind you weren't convicted. And was wrongly imprisoned. So much for shall not be infringed.
Its all bogus. Look at the 34 charges that stuck to Donald Trump, Dexter Taylor and all the thousands of others in the same situation. The system serves itself. We the people are just an after thought if it chooses to fix the wrong done by its own agents.
When a cop tells you he has a strong smell of alcohol and you know you are ZERO ZERO, then right off you know he is a liar - so why would anyone trust a deceptive cop on anything after that - the driver has the right to be afronted - hence his reticent attitude
Did anyone ever think of pursuing charges against the cops themselves? Process of elimination after all if there is only the cop and the victim, there is a strong smell of alcohol, and the victim is proven to not be the source of it. That leaves only the cop as the potential source of the alcohol then doesn't it?
Alcohol has no smell. Now beer or other drinks could have a smell. So exactly what does a cop smell? Also it is not unlawful to have a drink or two and drive. A certain amount according to your weight is lawful. Therefore the accusation and arrest for alcohol on the breath is bogus.
That shit is, horribly, fascinating. Ending! "Qualified Immunity" and settling lawsuits, from the coffers of police unions, and the individual cop's pension fund is the only incentive for ?igs, to behave.
I’ll go you one further. Unless CONVICTED it shouldn’t be on your record. I had a student in a class for a license that you have to report any convictions for a felony, EVER. So the student was arrested and convicted of a felony but ultimately his conviction was overturned. He still has to answer “yes” to “have you ever been convicted of a felony” when ultimately he was acquitted. Totally bogus.
Cop or cops should get life in prisoner without parole and sued $500000 for his crimes. If fire or quit ,retailers should go prison for life without parole for terrorism in America.
He’s a white man. He has really no need to fear. If he’d been black and refused to take a breathalyzer, he’d have been tazed, 15 other cops would have come to the scene, he might have suffered a beat down or been killed.
being a cop is not a career. court rules being an officer is not a profession. they are the same as a fast food worker, or a ditch digger that is only allowed to use a shovel.
I was arrested for DUI and in court the first image on the cops dash cam while he was pulling up was me sitting in the passenger seat of another car. I also blew .000 and was still arrested. Taken to jail. Was taken by force to have blood test and was denied access to the results. It’s getting ridiculous. I think if a cop falsely arrests someone for DUI/DWI they should be responsible for all the court cost and fines.
I know gangsters are bad but at least innocent people who are victims of gangsters would not be stigmatized for life like criminals after being victimized by gangsters, but innocent people falsely accused and falsely arrested for DUI by gangster-like cops have their lives ruined or stigmatized for life even after the charges were dropped. Worse still, the gangster-like cops face no punishment at all most of the time as their superiors ganged up with them to scam money from the city as extra funding for their false good work against DUI. Those cops who falsely accuse people of DUI or other violations are criminals who should be put in jail. The fact that any of those gangster-like cops can keep their jobs and face no jail time at all for trying to scam money from the city while ruining innocent people's lives is a travesty of justice and a justified reason why many law-abiding citizens do not trust cops.
Crooked state and city politicians need cops who are ruthless and unconscionable to the people being subjugated while being absolutely obedient to the crooked politicians controlling them in order to stay in power. As long as the crooked politicians who need absolutely obedient cops to help them to stay in power, they would turn a blind eye to the bad cops oppressing the people under the false color of law enforcement. Therefore, police reform is not possible when crooked state and city officials are in control. Vote crooked state and city officials who are apathetic towards victims of police brutality and police corruption out of office is the first step towards police reform.
Loveland cops are being on the line of corruption, this cop lied, how many other false dui charges go through bc some people can't dispute the charge. And Gates just goes to another cop station to continue his corrupt actions. Any cop caught lying or false arrests should NOT be able to ever be a cop anywhere
My dad was a police officer and later of detective Sergeant for 31 years. When he was retiring I asked him why? His answer was " son when I got on the police force I wanted to make the town safer, the police force Now isn't about putting bad guys in jail (rapist burglars, child molesters and murderers) It's now about creating Revenue from the working class and filling traffic court rooms".
He told me when he was a patrolman everybody he stopped that was under the influence was given one chance. The car was parked in a parking lot a taxi was called and the driver was instructed that if the car moved by the end of his shift at 7 a.m. he/she was going to jail. He told me the punishment of a DWI sometimes the same as committing a double homicide. (He was being sarcastic (

There was a POS officer in Corvallis Oregon writing false DUI. Got all kinds of promotions and awards. However, he tried it on an older adult rather then a college student. He no longer has a badge thank goodness
There was one in Florida pulling over people saying it was a DUI stop, asking to search and then planting drugs. It took years to figure out but he finally got fired and charged I think. Crazy.
i dont think that police should be getting awards and money or anything for anything, they should get a "yay you did your fricken job!" ( when they do their job how they are supposed to )
The part that pissed me off the most was him not being allowed to read the blood test form. You have a RIGHT to read any official form you are going to sign.
@@glockman9c not quite. You take the blood test or lose your license. You do have a choice. Not a good choice but you do not have to incriminate yourself. Say you were high on drugs you wouldn't want the police to investigate the source and finances of. Refuse test, lose license, drive with no license like thousands of others. 99% of us don't have those kinds of issues.
This is actually terrifying! There should be no such thing as incentive programs for arrests! How is this even legal? This is mind blowing and disgusting!!
um no. and in "any other profession" its not affecting the record of another human being. a criminal record can ruin your life. thank you for being biased@@ambulocetusnatans
@@xhartbeat3659 I do not understand your comment. Perhaps you are confused as to exactly what it was that I said. I thought it was a rather simple sentence, so perhaps you just need to read it again slower.
What happened to the office statement that he smelt a strong odor of alcohol. Then after that statement by the officer, the alleged offender blows 0.000. so what happened to the strong odor of alcohol if there was actually legally no alcohol present in this alleged defenders system. Was the officer actually smelling his own breath?
@@briansarah2745 A bottle of vodka in the squad car, force the citizen to drink a shot at gun point, then force them to blow in the machine. Magic! They driver is DWI / DUI now right?
@@goodcitizen-ft9bg- When cops have no pronlem lying about probable cause ON TAPE because they KNOW they'll have no repercussions (it was backed by his chief as a "good arrest" when he CLEARLY LIED about probable cause; he can't"smell the strong odour of alchohol when the man was NOT DRINKING), that's a SERIOUS problem. And cops who are forced to resign because of misconduct should not be allowed to be rehired in another county either.
"he's now resigned and gone to another police department" is the biggest problem with law enforcement in America. It's literally a rotating doorway for corruption, because any time someone gets caught doing these things or violating civil rights or making false arrests or even shooting and killing people, they just 1) go on paid leave, 2) resign, and 3) relocate to the next county over.
Yeah, I've never understood how those in law enforcement are the only people in society that can commit criminal acts and thwart justice just by resigning there jobs. It's beyond ridiculous.
I don’t understand the logic of this. Coming from a country that has one judicial system, or you saying that by resigning and moving to another department and county; does this mean he escapes personal liability?
Arizona has very corrupt police. I was a victim of them falsifying the police report. Sued and won 17 months later. Nothing happened to the cops. Nothing.
A stop predicated upon 17mph in a 45 and moving from one lane to another without signaling intention... giggles. Wreckless vs. Reckless.... giggles Escalate to blood test because suspicion of contraband. Meth or methotrexate... it all can get you into trouble. Uplifting to hear they were forced to drop the charges when he came back clean as a whistle.
If there was a court date and the judge didn't drop the charges completely with the court's deepest apologies to where his job as a pilot is still in jeopardy when he blew zeros twice and the forced blood test was negative of EVERYTHING, then I would say he/she needs to be removed from the bench and never be a judge ANYWHERE ever again.
Not necessarily out of his jurisdiction. Joint task force members have much wider jurisdictions and depending on your local state laws and local ordinances sworn certified LEOs can have jurisdiction in the whole state, entire county, judicial circuit etc…. Then there are memorandums of upstanding or cooperation an officer can respond or patrol a “jusrisdiction not normally part of his departments territory.
So what are we advocating for - putting citizen's lives and well-being ahead of Department Statistics? (Just because our Constitution says it - doesn't make it so and we have lost the ability to have law enforcement behave within it - thanks to SCOTUS & Congress).

The officer claimed he smelled An Odor of alcohol coming out of the car.That didn't work No alcohol was found in his Breathalyzer.

@@randy-tzu1624 The cop has the cheerful voice of a psychopath as he lies about the "overwhelming smell of alcohol" when the driver hasn't been drinking any alcohol and has a 0.0% blood alcohol level. How can the cop live with himself when he lies like that and arrests an innocent person? Because he's a psychopath. He doesn't feel remorse or guilt.
He was sure the perp was lying as was the breathalyzer. Talk about an ego. The damn limit is way too low to start with. I bet the avg drinkerr could pass a legitimate driving test as well at .o8 as at 0.0.
HEADS UP! The THC DUI law in Pennsylvania needs to be fixed. You can get a DUI in PA for having THC in your blood even if you are not actively intoxicated, have a STATE ISSUED medical card and haven’t used your MEDICATION in a week. If you refuse blood test automatic DUI. It’s policing for a profit. This ruined my life
This kind of thing has been happening to black and brown folks for decades They have practice making this not affect their tactics Anything a good cop does is overshadowed by all these cops
It won't be because that would change Policing and we all know they are not remotely trying to change that.. there's just too much control and money involved.. in my opinion..
in many cases it could merely be a training/ignorance issue. perhaps a little less severe on the first instance. THE KEY IS TRAINING AND ATTITUDE. Watch the audit videos... how many cops think filming in public might be a crime. They aren't taught the constitution; that's obvious. And I kinda wonder if they read it once before they swear the oath to support it as NUMBER ONE DUTY.
I think he should have to face whatever comes to him. That’s a gang come to his house or being tortured. 10 years in prison isn’t enough for ruining someone’s life. That’s a slap on the hand. He needs to face the ultimate punishment because he can never be trusted again and public.
I hope his lawyer gets him 5 million dollars for harassment, false arrest and violations of this man's civil rights. I hope this officer gets fired and this police department gets put on Federal Overwatch.
Tanya Graham love your podcast great work. THANK YOU for exposing corruption in police. NEVER agree to police volunteer tests or searches. This cop wanted to find something to cover his unlawful arrest. ALWAYS invoke your RIGHT OF SILENCE. Demand the officers name and number.
I'll pass on suing the cop personally, because he will file bankruptcy the next day. I would rather get millions of dollars from the city, than get zero dollars and a false sense that justice was done. Put cops who break the law in jail, not civil court. Period.
Then no one can take the job. There are other options that should be taken. But end of the day they are fucking up a job and as long as no one died and it is a tort level inconvenience (ie you are out time and money but NOTHING ELSE) then other options are possible. But RUclips is sending this at this with police concerns no one that can respect what I am saying.
WAYYYY too many bootlickers in this country to stop the bad policing. And it hearts my heart that soooo many innocent citizens lives can be destroyed Just because judges and prosecutors don't want to take the loss even if they KNOW the citizen is innocent.
I've been saying this for years. Incentivizing incarceration, driving up bodies to prison cells, all connected. Follow the money, how can we allow this in our country? Mainly because it disproportionately affects minorities so many blame the victims instead of policing which is a damn shame. Empathy rarely happens unless it happens more to individuals with more voting power.
Here's another one you might not know. A county that gets people for child support, get the equal amount of money from the government dollar for dollar. That soumds like one helluva incentive to give the mother the children and get as much money as they can from the fathers. It's has a name, it's called indentured slavery.
That guy was so calm. I'm afraid I'd react badly and get some more charges if that would happen to me. Jesus Christ, I can't believe the level of corruption!

I experienced something like this in Greenville Tennessee. I was accused and arrested for suspicion of being under the influence but I wasn't. Had to take a blood test and wait for the results to come back and then the charges was dropped. The Trooper that pulled me over was unprofessional and disrespectful
I live in Morristown, not far from Greenville,Tennessee. I’ve had a couple of people tell me that very same thing about the state troopers through there. They did a woman that I used to work with the same way with the false DUI. The other guy I talked to said it was profiling. Pulled him over at night for no reason or no probable cause and harassing him on the side of the road before finally letting him go. It was all because of his older model car at the time.
They actually had to close down a police station in a small town in Alabama for this very reason. They messed around and pulled over the wrong person they pulled over a pastor and accuse him of all kind of things when they finally went to court they had to close the entire police station and they found that the police station had so much money they had a tank what town that only has 1000 people in the city limits needs a tank they found police chiefs with summer homes with boats it was ridiculous they had to go back and release all the people they arrested dropped all the charges which was something that should’ve never Happened in the first place. So this is definitely a trend this is not something that is just being ear marked at certain police stations this is nationwide
I was arrested for suspicion of dui in Greeneville, Tn. 3 weeks ago, Greeneville city PD arrested me at 10:30 at night on US11E, he said i was driving erratically, weaving and speeding. When he walked up to my door i already had it down and he said How you doing tonight? I said i was doing great, until now. He says the usual, license, registration and insurance, i already had it in hand and gave it to him, he goes back to his cruiser. Comes back a few minutes later, telks me he can smell the odor of alcohol, how much have i had to drink? I said I havent had a drink in almost 6 years because i have an auto immune disease that is destroying my liver, and literally cant drink without getting deathly sick. He says i need to step out of the vehicle, then wants me to do a field sobriety test , i said just give me a breathalyzer, he says i dont have one with me id have to take you to the hospital, i said what about my dogs because i had them with me, he tells me he has already called animal control, they were on the way to get them. I said, so you telling me youve already decided you are arresting me for dui, and have an snimal control officer coming for my pets, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever that im intoxicated. He said i know your on something, it may not be alcohol but no matter what it is your intoxicated and yes im arresting you for dui, by this time there are 4 other cops there and arrest me he does. He pulls up in the Sally port at the jail and gets me out, we go in to the booking desk. A female jailer says what did he arrest you for, i said dui, she looks at me funny, and says something very interesting. YOU DONT SEEM DRUNK TO ME. Yep, you read that right, i said young lady, you should be the police cheif around here, because it appears some of the patrolman are not really clear on what a drunk looks like. Anyway, when yhey are processing me, i said i need to get a phone number off my phone so i can call for my daughter to come bail me out, they tell me the cop did not turn in a phone with my belongings which is funny because i sat and watched him trying to unlock my phone in his cruiser for 5 minutes after he cuffed and stuffed me, he demanded that I give him the password to unlock it but i refused , he threatened me with obstruction, blah blah blah i said go fuck yourself, yada yada yada. So i told them fine ill just call one of the bail bondsman you have on the wall they said ok but it will be a while before I can do that, but guess what. I never got my phone call, they held me for 5 days before i went to a video appearance before the judge, when he saw i had been in jail for 5 days he says i guess you need a court appointed lawyer, i tell him no your honor i can afford one in fact i have an attorney, but i havent been able to call hom or a bondsman or anything, TIME STOPS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, the judge said, are you telling me you have been in jail for 5 days, since Friday night and you were never allowed to make a phone call ? I said YES YOUR HONOR, THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM TELLING YOU. The judge tells the jail balliff that brought us to the video hearing to take me back to my seat snd bring up the next prisoner. He does, i sit there for about another hour and a half until all the prisoners have had their appearance, then i go and sit in the video spot again, the judge starts reaming out the DA, tells him to get the arresting officer to the courthouse now, yesterday wont be fast enough. He was pissed, they get the cop there, and then the judge started asking me a lot of questions, the arresting officer starts to interupt me to orevent me from answering, the judge tells him, YOU SIT DOWN AND DONT SPEAK UNTIL I TELL YOU TOO! I CONTINUE TELLING THE JUDGE THAT I ASKED FOR A BREATHALYZER, THAT HAVE AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE AND MY DRs NAME SO HE CAN VERIFY THAT, WHICH HE ORDERS THE DA TO DO, I THEN TELL HIM THAT THE COP HAS MY PHONE, HE TOLD THAT COP, OK NOW, AFTER I ASK THIS QUESTION YOU CAN SPEAK, DO YOU HAVE THIS MANS TELEPHONE IN YOUR POSSESSION? THE COP KIND OF WEASEL LIKE SAYS, YES YOUR HONOR, I MUST HAVE DROPPED IT IN MY CRUISER WHEN I WAS TRANSPORTING HIM TO THE JAIL, I SAID YOUR HONOR CAN I ADD SOME INFORMATION TO THAT? HE SAYS I CAN, WHEN I TELL HIM THE COP WAS TRYING TO UNLOCK MY PHONE AND DEMANDED THAT I GIVE HIM THE PASSWORD THEN THREATENED ME WITH OBSTRUCTION BECAUSE I WOULDNT, THE JUDGE WENT FUCKING BALISTIC, HE TOLD THE BALIFF TO TAKE ME TO PROCESS ME FOR RELEASE, AND AS I WAS WALKING OUT OF THE ROOM HE TOLD THE COP, OFFICER, DONT SAY ANYTHING ELSE, IM ADVISING YOU TO GET YOURSELF A LAWYER BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO I HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING YET BUT I GOT A LETTER FROM THE DAs OFFICE TELLING ME ABOUT MY COURT DATE, ILL KEEP YOU UP TO DATE AS I KNOW MYSELF.
They should be with mark lofton ,a police officer in Gergioa. He arrested a little old lady stone Cold sober who was dying of cancer, spent her last Christmas in jail for nothing. Funny thing his wife a falling down drunk got arrested by a police officer and he lost his job, for doing his job. Look him up Mark lofton
Why the head mother already proved that she is actually a drunk, she had to resign herself. It's a scam with the blood alcohol level being a .08 you are not impaired below 1.2 the government's proven that numerous times but they decided to make money and we sat back and allowed them to change the laws.
I completely agree. They are the reason behind unconstitutional sobriety checks. They want innocent people to give up their Civil Rights. The end does not always justify the means.
That org. Was sponsored by the cops and the prison industry. They started in the 80s funny thing is the lady that was at the forefront became an instant millionaire. I am not kidding. Florida at that time told them go to hell!!
That department is a national disgrace. They sat on that video of their officers assaulting the elderly woman for over a year. It lets you know that corruption starts at the top.
Yeah what they did to that lady with dementia was horrible I think they broke her shoulder dislocated her wrist or something like that that was disgusting I mean oh my word that was awful
This man's 6th sense that made him concerned for the officers lack of integrity is rare. Most people would've talked, done what the cop said and even kissed the cops ass in the process. He did a great job protecting himself from this cops as best he could.
Taya here! I completely agree with you. And the patience and politeness that he displayed I think was absolutely amazing. He was held against his will for almost 4 hours forced to take 2 Breathalyzer tests and a blood test I have to say I don't know if I would have maintained my politeness and calm demeanor as well as he did.
I’ve seen this video before. At what point will organizations like this, the institute for justice, and many other join forces to make more noise? A 30 second commercial highlighting these videos will reach far more people ignorant of these issues. My mother for the longest time until I started showing her videos like these was like the marine who was robbed by LE. She believed if you do nothing wrong they are the “good guys”, and you talk to them like friends.
6th sense? It's pretty easy to tell when you are pulled over without cause or the cop lies and makes something up you realize you are being pulled over by a criminal.
No one is EVER surprised when bogus arrests like this turn out to be from Loveland, CO.! They definitely make "false arrests" a sporting event with police misconduct and excessive force complaints being rampant!
When a cop says "I've explained the law to you" they haven't; they don't know the law. They're not obliged to tell you the truth either, so say nothing except "I am exercising my right to remain silent" until your lawyer arrives.

And about the income on arrests, just recently it was on our RSA radio station about a town in America that had made SO much money that. JUDGE has said that county is not allowed to make any of these arrest for the next foreseeable time , I can't remember the specific time. Your laws need to be changed from WAY ABOVE.

So I PRAY that all these platforms that cover these kind of abuse, that YOU GUYS will stand together at take this to the highest posiible whatever and get some consequence addressed. There MUST BE a change
@@La-familia-de-Fazio because all they care about is locking people up and fines.. It's all a money making racket now. Prisons are labor camps now run by businesses, departments get funding based on the more arrest... Everything is designed for arresting as many people as they can.

Don't apply to prisoners.. Only modern country that's outlawed slavery who lef that loophole in.. No joke.. They purposefully left it in to just arrest black people to enslave them again.. Now they use it on everyone but mainly non-white people, unless they're at the lower end of the social ladder.
I particularly liked that he refused to let the man READ the paperwork. He expected him to sign it based on what he told him. I’m really glad they have that on video!! That will go against the cop.
When the cop said he smelled an overwhelming odor of alcohol, then the breathalyzer and blood test came back negative, he should've been deemed incompetent to do any more traffic stops whatsoever.. the treachery of the systems that allows these kinda things to continue happening knows no bounds.. it's an egregious abuse of people's constitutional rights and liberties and completely unacceptable.. it really seems that an utter lack of integrity, honor and morality must be the requirements to become an officer..
The issue with saying you smell the odor of alcohol, is that alcohol doesn’t have a smell per se. I worked as an EMT for over 12 years, and in my reports I NEVER stated I smelled alcohol, I would report “a smell consistent with having consumed an alcoholic beverage”. I’ve dealt with intoxicated persons on the ambulance many times, but never once said I smelled alcohol. But yeah ethyl alcohol has NO odor. You cannot actually SMELL alcohol on someone or coming from the vehicle. You can smell an odor consistent with an alcoholic beverage due to the other ingredients in the drink. So this innocent man here could have put up a defense of that right away on scene. There are MANY good officers out there that do their jobs professionally and I’ve known and worked along side lots of them, but there are some, like this one that erode trust in all law enforcement, even the good ones.
@@chaimomma9198 Cops are allowed to lie to the public (but you're not allowed to lie to them, of course). Now if he wrote it on a sworn statement as part of the arrest report, then there would be an offense that could be prosecuted. But what are the odds of a prosecutor taking that case to court? Zero.
Eh, I don't like that response either. I think there should be consequences for false arrests. For instance, if there are x number of false arrests, the department loses half the funding it would have received for legitimate arrests.
I like how cops can pull you over for "driving slowly", or not using turn signals, or ignoring the stop sign, but they can flip their lights on, sound the siren, to drive through the red light, and then turn it off after crossing.
As citizens we need laws that state clearly when an officer or precinct is sued the money resulting from the judgement should come from the Police Pension Fund and not just paid by the local tax base.
Screw that! Let's make the crooked cops pay the damages out of their OWN pockets! Seize their boats, jet skis, cars, ORVs, houses, etc, and sell them at bargain prices, until they are paid up! And then blacklist them from EVER again being a cop, or owning a gun. It's going to take no less than this to straighten out the police. And why should they be allowed to break the laws they swore an oath to uphold, and get free legal representation, while we are ruined by a damn misdemeanor!
I'll modify that a bit. 33% of the money should be paid for by the perpetrator himself. The pension fund is not an insurance policy against poor judgement.
Officer Gates needs to be arrested and put in jail, or given some 'true justice' by somebody to stop him doing it again and to protect the public. Such a shame that so many USA police officers are corrupt, but it is the same here in the UK as well.
I know our police force is far, far from perfect, but its nowhere near as bad as america. You get pulled over here for drunk driving, you'll get tested there an then, and if its a low or zero score, you'll be on your way straight away.
Seriously who knows how far he will take this kind of stuff. Alot of people hate cops because of this kind of thing. A few bad apples ruin it for everyone. This is disgusting.
This cop needs to be put in prison because now the tax payers will have to foot the bill for the law suit that's coming get rid of these vile thugs .they stink make them pay .
In the future, you should add the cop's name to the description, so that this video will come up in Google searches for his name. Same with judges, DAs, whoever is corrupt in these stories. Especially in cases like this, where charges have been dismissed and there's no question. These people don't get punished like we do. They have to be accountable for the mistakes they make.

Taylor, Michigan a few years back, 2 cops beat a guy for not responding to them. He was sitting at a light. Turns out he was slipping into a diabetic coma, EMS recognized He was in diabetic shock right away and saved his life. Don't know what awards the Taylor cops got for beating a middle aged guy going into a diabetic coma but they damn sure could've killed him.
They only hire below the average IQ of 95 Then they expect them to be detectives. Something that they are incapable of doing. So being Lazy they then arrest the first minority person, someone that no one on a stacked jury will believe. Another case solved. Even better if resisting arrest they can use force or they get to shoot someone They might even have a hot pursuit.
I was falsely arrested in Henry County Alabama, cost $335 to bond out and another $300 to get my vehicle out, the trooper didn't have probable cause to stop me so he made up interfearing and resisting, led violation and no d.l., At my fake trial judge Peterson said his opinion is that i violated a light violation that the trooper used to stop me, he sent me to jail 12 months interfearing 6 months resisting and i went straight to jail, my bondsman filed an appeal for me and got me out of jail, i still have a jury trial coming, will be 2yrs since the stop in october. I have spent $3,000 on an attorney, missed 5 days from work over this, the police care less what they cost you, they don't care if you are fired over them false arresting you, no public servant gives a crap for the people that pays their salaries, its all a money making system for public servants.
That's our anti-justice system at work. A cop murders someone, gets paid vacation, a free lawyer (an actual lawyer, not a pretender) and a slap on the wrist. Sorry that this happened to you. I've also had some horror stories. It seems almost inevitable these days.
The saddest part is that this will forever be on his record! The lawsuit should push for absolute removal of this from his record. It is not enough to show case was dismissed/dropped. There should never be a permanent mark on someone's record for wrongful arrest! Never acceptable.
YUP. Like how I was arrested for rape.... The DNA wasn't even the same race. It was the girl's BF!!! She was just afraid to tell her parents she had sex with him. So, she decided my LIFE didn't matter, and said I raped her, to get out of trouble.... GOD BLESS DNA! Cause my DNA wasn't on the condom they found in her trash. She didn't care how hard I had worked to move thousands of miles away, on my own, without my parent's help. Nor that I went to night and day school to graduate early. NO NO. She cared more about not getting in trouble with her parents. OH, and I was on SOMA, and OXYCONTIN at the time of said "rape" I wasn't aroused at all. I was recovering from a painful accident.
The officer, should have his face all over face book, internet,for the rest of his life. Blast his face, over, over and expose him. All details pertaining to the charges, have family members if you die, to keep it on facebook and RUclips forever.
Exactly I had a ex and he crazy girlfriend who kept trying to have me arrested on false claims every thing was dropped because I had more proof I didn't do something then they did saying I did do it and the da finally saw it but it's still on my record
ARMED CIVIL WAR IS COMING! WE THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF TERRORISTS GETTING AWAY WITH ACTS OF TREASON AGAINST US! SHOOTING IS GOING TO BECOME A NATIONAL SPORT! FEAR THE PEOPLE!
Just found your channel. I am both fascinated and terrified at the same time. Even if you do everything right and respectfully and STILL have your life ruined. Keep up the good fight, y’all seem to be doing some really good work.
The fact that he was obviously lying when he said there was an overwhelming smell of alcohol coming from a car where the only occupant blew 0.00 on breath test, then continued with blood test nonsense should be enough to coast this lawsuit to a win
@@pucmahone3893 It can always be stipulated that the lawsuit is against the PD, the Chief of Police, and the individual officer or officers involved, and make THEM pay out of their own pocket. Also, if the towns mayor or council allowed it to continue, why not take it out on them? Start at the top, and let shit roll downhill.
how do you figure that? spilled on clothes or in car? he didnt look to steady on his feet to me. the video was edited....and they complain about the cops body cams!!!!
it shouldnt stop there. this kind of lying should cost the officer what it would have cost the citizen at least. otherwise he will absolutely do it again
As someone who has gone thru the misery of getting a legitimate DUI, makes me sick thinking someone who did nothing wrong going through that horrible process. Losing your license is huge and can have devastating effects on your ability to do so much. They hold us accountable for what we do but that accountability needs to go in their direction when policy is abused and lives get ruined.
Officer Dick did exactly what was consistent with his character. He displayed character that his wife, children and one day grandchildren will forever be ashamed of. This is another reason why so many in the American society has Zero trust with any form of law enforcement.
I had almost the same thing happen to me 5 years ago. A stare trooper stopped me on the highway, and the trooper asked me to do roadside test. I told him my balance was affected by two surgeries, and the cop called me a liar, handcuffed me, and had my car towed. We went to a police station and I blew 00 and the trooper took me for a blood test. It came back clean. The the trooper told me I could not drive for 8 hours. I told him to screw off and I was going to get my car. Once I got my car for 200 bucks the trooper was waiting for me and stopped me again. Another trooper came and told me I was driving after being told not to drive. He said it was policy to do that. I told him a policy is not a law. The second trooper finally told the 1st trooper he had to let me go. The last thing a said to them was at least I kept them from violating anyone's else's rights for 5 hours. They were passed. I did a formal complaint, but it was a waste of time because the police check the police with no outside review. What a joke.
This guys need to be stopped ... Once upon a time I felt sorry for them when NY was filled up with thugs during Giulannis term but the whole thing spun around now Cops are crooks...
100%. And the "good" police wonder why people don't trust them. I've seen several stories of people having PTSD episodes on a routine stop and then they arrested them with bogus charges like "disturbing the peace" when it was the officer that created the PTSD episode in the first place. Its a phucknclownworld.
Another vlogger here has said - NEVER DO A ROADSIDE TEST - IT'S A TRAP - if you lose your balance for any reason they will nail you on DUI. Consent to a breathalyzer and maybe a blood test. That's it.
Thank you for exposing these pathetic examples of authority. I've been arrested twice for DUI and had to hire an attorney to only have the charges dropped. I'm tired of these pathetic individuals ruining people's lives.
I've been pulled over twice or three times but I don't drink and drive (I know better) once I was pulled over because I was following a firetruck and I was going to work and it was long gone before I was on the road 🛣️ and this idiot cop says I was following it and I told him I was going to work but dummy wouldn't listen 👂 and I had to pay a$60 dollar 💵 ticket 🎫.,. sometimes they won't listen and not to hear your side of the story and they think 🤔 you're lying 🤥 I'm pretty honest with my story
Agreed. I live in Canada. I was arrested for aggravated assault. The problem is, I was the victim. A neighbour, clearly under the influence, attacked me in my own home. I defended myself just enough to get away, and this woman followed me and broke down my door to get at me, then attacked me again. Yet I was arrested, and she wasn't, despite me having tons of proof that she was the attacker. Also, these charges were dropped two years later, after I refused to take any deals, the stress of this case, and forcing me to move, destroyed my kidneys, forcing me on to dialysis.
I had LAPD come to my hospital and accuse me of a DUI, when the ambulance picked me up from MY HOUSE. I had fallen and hit my head. They had no evidence. But some ass at the hospital called, and reported my BAC was high. I had been drinking, and called my grandmother. Mentioned to her that I hit my head. She was just paranoid, and made me call an ambulance. I was fine. Just a bump on my head, that went away pretty quick.
I was framed for 2 DUI and wasn't driving either one .. one police report read thry had 2 witnesses that would testify they saw me driving in a grocery store parking lot the other the DA said she would tell the officers to say they say me driving funny and followed me into the store parking lot and waited for me to come out when my attorney said he was going to out me on the stand and say I was walking out of a store .. they will lie to get convictions I know how it works ..
One thing that is enabling policing to be like this is that police can stand behind “Qualified Immunity.” If qualify immunity is made illegal for any public official including law enforcement, stories like these will become a lot less frequent.
QI as written does not apply in a huge % of cases where the courts pretend it exists. The courts don't care. Neither does enough of the public yet, so far.
Just saw his case settled for 400k. Something I also found out was a year latter he was pulled over at a town close by ( they probably saw his arrest when the ran his tags) . Arrested for a DUI and again blew a 000. Was told he couldn't drive with his kids in the car pending the outcome, monitored etc. Another investigation by FAA. I believe it cost him his job.
I was a DJ for 20 years and I used to do a large cities annual motorcycle police party. Every year these folks had a open bar and every year they all got very drunk. Guess what, each and everyone of those officers drove off after the party was over. This always blew my mind.
One of our local 'Country-Cops' arrested a guy for drink-driving after he left his 'Local' . The cop had been drinking all night at the same bar, she was pissed-as-a-chook herself at the time of the arrest . Dave NZ
These competitions and trophies and grants are perverting incentives and some innocent victims are caught up in the drag net. However, people who are actually caught drunk driving are ruining there own lives.
& they all make big money off dui! Insurance companies make big money on it. Lots of people making a living directly on # of arrests & number of convictions
We had this happen to one of our employees. She was closing up the bar after a long shift and was pulled over. The police officer said she was speeding and said her eyes were red. She passed the field sobriety test and blew 0.00. Then they took her in for a blood test. She passed that too, but they still had me come pick her up since her license was suspended while this was all sorted out. They had her take an additional blood test which also came back negative. It took 5 weeks to get everything dropped and sorted out. I called the Lieutenant and tried my best to help her in this situation. Once the officer had a "hunch" and thought she had committed an OWI, there was no turning back or any kind of further analysis. Guilty till proven innocent.
You would think that any supervisor who reads a report with a blatant lie in it might question the officer's integrity, but clearly that didn't happen.
If you’ve ever seen a video of a cop arresting a cop for DUI the cop being arrested is usually crying and begging because they now it will cost them their job (because it’s public record and will hit the news), yet they don’t care about the people they work for.
I was a teenager and received a traffic citation from a cop trying to make a name for himself. He lied in court and I almost went to jail over it. The same cop was fired for skimming drug money that was confiscated in busts. He was later shot and killed in a parking lot late one night. He was into all kinds of shady stuff.
@@Vintagenegro vintage there are days when I see things that make me sick. but it's not about all of them. I'm lucky but to a man ... the police in my town are 100% community servants. I'm in Chicago a lot ... and it's much different there. But even in Chi-town there are many good cops. Lori Lightfoot must frustrate the cr**p out of everybody !
And law enforcement wonder's why we don't trust them? Well, when one can ruin another's life for no reason without repercussion continuously over and over and over again, how could you not fear any interaction with them?
Here is The True Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Doesn't help that people like you paint with a broad brush. How can we possibly get over racism when the power of prejudice entices everyone? There are far too many police interactions to justify painting the profession that way; unfortunately the general public is too stupid to understand the infinitesimally small percentage of police that are bad eggs compared to the good ones, and the media knows and capitalizes on it.
Sounds like the police department in Loveland, should completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) clean house. This is a damned disgrace. Disgusting, shameful and beyond criminally liable, to cause such harm to the people who are affected. I hope they have to pay out a few million to force the change that’s needed.
I've seen this video, the suspect asked what other tests could be taken to prove his innocence a few times and I believe he asked if his doctor could draw his blood before consenting to a breath test but the officer told him that a blood test could take up to a week to get the results, however the breathalyzer is back at the police station. After the suspect blew ZERO, the cop asked him to take a blood test...after threatening him with the prospect that he could be in custody until the results were determined. Great job on the story
I saw the original video also. If I remember correctly, he tried getting a hospital to do an independent blood test bc he didn't trust the police or the hospital he was taken for the blood draw to give an honest negative test. This guy was run around and did nothing wrong. Sad
I did too . Classic case of cop playing for the video so if the guy blows under 0.08 he can still arrest him for dui. The overwhelming alcohol comment the red eye comment. Slurred speech comment (even though we hear the guy talk normal). When the guy leaned on the car he accused him of almost falling over. Classic playing for the camera. They all impress the judge and prosecutors.
@@michaelwaninger3155 they do this so that when the defense argues total lack of evidence for probable cause, let alone to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the prosecution will ask the jury, "Who do you believe, the peace officer, or his lying dashcam/bodycam?" And woe to the defendant if it's a bench trial!
Hey buddy😑!!! No matter how many tests you could've come with that the guy wasn't guilty of anything!!! To that piece of 💩of an "officer of the LAW...that poor SAP was a goner anyway😔😑!!! In my country we have a say that goes like this..." When a rock hit is due for the dog...even if he is dead...he will still get It😔😑!!!
Its a violation of rights to be unlawful arrested and is prosecutable. The officer should be charge and the trophy was the insentive to violate the citizens rights. When the DA's fail to prosecute bad officers they need to face charges or dissbarment. The failure of DA's doing their job and holding bad officers accountable has led to exsseive bad policing around the country
No need to imagine. There are tons of videos here on YT for victims to whom this has happened. Mr Elias in this case is a pilot. He may well have lost his job just because he was falsely arrested even if he blew all Zeros. This is the USA showing the rest of the world how citizens and residents are truly treated. Almost like a police state already.
@@francescathomas3502- I'd like to know why the charges are still visible after he was found not guilty or the charges were dropped?? In Canada, I was falsely arrested and after my charges were dropped, as far as I know, it's off my record. I did a vulnerable sector's check for a job (a criminal check plus more) afterwards, and it came back clean, so it must not be on my record. How is it fair that it remains on your records? That means that even though you're not convicted, just having an ACCUSATION against you can be used against you. That's so WRONG.
@@Ryan-ff2dbyep standard procedure is if they can't prove u were drinking they'll come up with a bullshit excuse n tell u ur under some narcotic then they'll issue u to take a blood test to check ur "drug" levels. if u refuse they'll falsely charge for drug charges even though there is no proof.
This cop was condescending from the jump. Completely dismissive, manipulative, and a yearning for dominance upon first contact. I feel like since the inception of body cams, the line “I smell” comes up more and more often. It’s something that’s being engrained into their culture as another form of evidence despite the lack of evidence from the body worn camera’s. The fact that someone can arbitrarily say, “I smell” carry’s so much weight in the criminal justice system, is a travesty. How do you dispute that, YOU CAN’T! It’s total bullshit
I ran across quite a few videos like this. People blowing triple zero or below the legal limit and still being arrested for DUIs. They may throw it out of court. But can you imagine the stress ??? They can figure out a way or make up a way to arrest you or wright you a ticket or fine.
I have PTSD from the cops that harassed me for five years while the husband (dentist) and I divorced was petrified of being arrested again. He was very creative with his lies. So yes I feel bad for you to have been subjected to cop abuse, I hope someday for you to come to peace with the memories. 😢😢😢 It took many years to be at peace with the situation. You will get there some day. God Bless You
I was taken to jail one night because the police officer said that he thought I was trying to steal a car. I’m sitting in the passenger side seat dome light on radio playing keys in the ignition yeah I was really trying to steal the car
Sarah is an awesome advocate for Colorado citizens. She has been very effective in showing the corruption of the Loveland police. Stinks from the head to the tail in that dept.
When the police department said it was still a good arrest, or a "solid DUI" I would love to see how they can explain that. Because at the end of the day, dude was sober which means its impossible it was a good arrest.
Not really. If an officer has probable cause to suspect you of a DUI, he can arrest you, and it is a “good arrest” even if later it came s up in the station you are not drunk. The problem for this case, is that when it was PROVEN he is not drunk, they said “test does not match our judgment, so we’ll ignore the test and not release you”. If they had released him after pr the test, they’d have a reasonable case to claim the initial arrest was justified.
@@bluestarwars So their "judgment" is the probable cause for the arrest in this case. If that's true, it allows PDs around the country to manufacture DUI arrest at will as judgement is subjective.
Failure to signal and obeying the speed limit is not probable cause to suspect a DUI. If it was, the cop wouldn't have had to imagine a strong odor of alcohol that didn't exist.
@Aluzky he was driving like that bc he was unfamiliar with the area which adds up. people tend to drive slow in areas they aren’t familiar with bc they aren’t comfortable with the roads
This is why qualified immunity has to stop. They know that their actions will not come back to them personally. If it did, they wouldn't be doing this. Once the charges were dropped on this man, the police would be forced to PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE and ADMIT TO THEIR WRONG DOINGS IN THIS CASE, with news media filming and the accused present to either accept or deny the apology. All records expunged. The arresting officer to go in front of a civilian review board, for his actions. Then the accused is still allowed to sue the officer and department for their actions, and those individuals are responsible for the award amount. All without qualified immunity. Get rid of qualified immunity and internal affairs because they don't work for the people.
Robert P: Cops should be required to carry liability insurance, just like doctors and lawyers. If they can't get insurance, or lose their insurance, they can't be hired or are immediately fired.
The state representatives and the governor of Colorado have ENDED QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. THESE ARE MODERN DAY NAZI BROWN SHIRTS, WHO WILLINGLY VIOLATE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
I wish this sort of false accusation and arrest would happen to every judge, prosecuting attorney and legislator on every level five times. Then we would see some changes.
Judges can’t be prosecuted for judgments rendered in most cases, it’s all apart of the system to keep the corrupt with power and in control. The whole system needs an overhaul.
What really grinds my gears is that a lawyer even had to be involved at all. All the evidence was there, and accessible, but the courts won't do anything unless the defendant shells out big bucks for a lawyer
That is my biggest problem with all encounters with law enforcement and the courts. An arrest, even when charges are dropped, follows you and messes with getting/keeping jobs, loans, housing, security clearances, custodial rights, and colors all future encounters with police. When you have to defend yourself in court, it costs you money and time away from the rest of your life, win or lose. And you can never get reimbursed for the time and money you have to spend, even when you are obviously not guilty.
@@MonkeyJedi99 sue them, and make sure, if they settle out of court, that the offense is stricken from all your records, and if it goes to court and a jury, and they find you innocent, that your attorney makes sure it's stricken from your records.
I believe he has hired this lawyer because his civil rights were trampled on, and he is seeking compensation for it. He deserves it, but the funds aren't paid by the police dept or the city, it's passed on to the taxpayer's.🤬

This guy was a pilot the repercussions are huge and he had major issues with faa until it was cleared. What about the Colorado cop that was cut out of his police vechile blood showed. 255 never charged for dui while sitting in traffic passed out in mid day while on duty.
I've never heard of anything so terrible. Can you imagine being arrested for a DWI and you never even had a drink!?!!? I had never heard of this before. I would sue them.😠
Oh this happens constantly actually this would be a dream for some people. They prey on people that have no ability to fight and no one ever knows. They are a paycheck to them. Even a poor person is worth 50k a year in the private prison system
DUI isn't just alcohol, it's also narcotics, medicines or sleep deprivation. That last one would have cleared up the moment you were stopped due to adrenaline and thus very hard to prove unless driving alongside the car for a bit, but any chemicals would have shown up on the blood test.
This and worse happens. How about people all across the spectrum being arrested with bogus manufactured evidence presented against them to incarcerate people for decades?? Incredulous.
I have heard that one incentive they have to ticket and or arrest innocent people is because it adds to their retirement benefits to spend more time in court and an innocent individual is more likely to make them show up in court!!!!!!! And with their immunity there is no deterrent since it will cost them nothing even though they are wrong!!!!!!!
All police departments and there employees need to be transparent. I had to bail my daughter out of jail this morning because her ex assaulted her and she defended herself and she was the one who called them to help. And they arrested her. It's sickening that you can't even call them for help without the threat of getting into trouble😞
my ex shot at me.. like with a shot gun...it left a divet in the ground in front of me..then came after me knocking me down on the ground....slamming the rifle across my neck untill I escaped & I'm the one who went to jail...
Thats how they want it. Look at the numbers do the math look at the big picture and open your eyes and it becomes very very clear that law enforcements job is not to fight crime but to create crime and hate and animosity and to control our every move while making themselves rich by never questioning the orders they are givin. Understanding the constitution and our rights and knowing the basic fundamentals of law enforcement like RAS and PROBABLE CAUSE are necessary only if cops true purpose was to fight crime.
A man with good communication skills will overrule most women in almost any situation. Male bias is very strong so the only way women win is by having better communication skills or being very attractive and going to make the report with a man who will back her up.
it's everywhere it's all of them even if they just turn a blind eye it's still guilty by association and all police are in a world wide furternal ordered most of them are Masons they look down on anyone who isn't that's how they have no empathy for we the people just contempt for us
I had it happen to me twice inBenton county, OR. Blew .000 and then requested to talk to a “Drug recognition training officer” like I was an idiot. I simply told the officer I would have to decline the request as I just submitted to the breath test. And therefore fulfilled the implied consent requirement. They had no choice but to let me go and withdraw the DUII charge. So, do submit to breath test if requested and you have the law on your side as far as declining to submit to further testing.
The courts made quotas illegal. Any financial or personal awards should also be made illegal. Just doing their job, protecting the community should be satisfaction enough.
Right. It's called defuding the police. Contrary to popular belief? It means to stop incentiving police. The police in your municipality is federally funded and property taxes funded. Which means they'll most likely to funded, however when they seizure property, money, or assets? 90% goes back to there department, which is a surplus on top off all there funding. Now what do you think are they doing with this surplus money for legal, or illegal seizure surplus money? I'll give you a hint; militarization.
@@waynedavis936 they shouldn't even be paid for overtime in my honest opinion. A set salary based on rank. No bonuses, no qualified immunity, and in fact, severer punishments for cops who break the law.
You knew where the cop was going when he made up the "I smell alcohol coming out of your car". Eliminating qualified immunity is a start. They should be able to purchase their own malpractice insurance paid by each officer to pay for their mistakes. Enough law suites that the Insurance company has to pay out will drop them just like auto insurance. At some point they will have to pay out of their own pocket. Accountability!
QI is a problem generally, but it's absolute dog **** that directly committing a crime with no basis for doing so can possibly fit that category anyway. One isn't exercising a genuine effort at law enforcement while lying and actively committing a crime. I would probably acquit the guy who got arrested if he used physical force to flee the station after breathing 0's. Even if he seriously injured the cop in doing so. I would never ask or expect that of anybody, because doing that puts your life on the line. But if presented that in court? Not convicting that.
Many professionals carry personal E&O, personal liability insurance at their own expense. Unlawfully arresting someone should have equally grave consequences as a medical professional purposely or negligently fatal medicine.
So let me see how can a corrupt police department find criminality within its own department if they don't believe in following the rules of law and violating and making up rules as they see fit and this system go's along with unethical behavior because there's no integrity among thieves
I hear Colorado dropped qualified immunity. Hopefully it is totally gone from there and other states, then federal government follows through. Although, the supreme court drew up and made this a "law" in order to protect themselves, highly unlikely it will ever be repealed. Now, work on those corrupt police unions!
This is why we need to form a civilian investigation team. It can be comprised of private investigators, lawyers, and everyday ppl that have term limits that way ppl can't be bought off.
Joe Biden has been a politician for about 50 years. Term limits only apply when the citizens show enough intelligence to realize when they are being conned by the people trying to get into an office that allows abuse.
This almost seems comical. Unfortunately, it’s not. I hope the city looses every penny it gained from these kind of arrests and more. And thank you for mentioning how MADD corrupts the system by awarding false arrest.
This happened to me in Fayette Co., Tennessee. Turns out that the word is that the prosecutor's office gets grant/money from the state according to the number of D.U.I convictions. I couldn't afford an attorney that could have (relatively) easily get it thrown out or found not guilty. It happened September 2020 and I was forced to plead guilty. Attorney fee:$750. Civil fines:$1000, probation fees monthly for a year, restricted license fee, intoxilock requirements $45 every 2 weeks, sr22 insurance expenses, license reinstatement fee, and when i sold my vehicle and no longer had a vehicle they revoked my license again for failure to maintain sr22. I still have no valid license today and I don't forsee it possible in the near future.
Happen to me in hawkins county. Failed physical roadside tests because of my disability which I told cop of, blood draw came back with small amount of prescription medication. Result im on probation for about the next 3 years. Fuck these jokers
The most disturbing aspect of this lack of justice system is, in my opinion, never holding the police officers, involved, personal accountable! When lawsuits are submitted and granted, the costs of those lawsuits should get out of the police officers' pockets! And not be payed by the local community!
I think intent is important on whether the police department should be held liable or the individual. If a cop is trying to do the right thing and let’s say crashes into someone during a pursuit. Hopefully department insurance would cover that and any injuries or damages. But if it’s malicious and you can prove it was the officer should be held individually liable. However they suing party wouldn’t get that much from a cops vs how much they’d get from a city or state.
Indeed. Cops under our form of government don’t actually have that authority to oppress us. We just let them get away with it and allow for sub laws that violate our constitutional rights.
Deprivation of rights under color of law (18 USC 242) - for example, by arresting someone for exercising 4th and 5th amendment rights - while in possession of a firearm is a federal felony (18 USC 924) if there is any act of violence or threat of violence by the violator during the rights violation. It is IMPOSSIBLE to handcuff someone else without committing simple assault, which is an act of violence. The crime in question is punishable by ten years in federal prison, and thanks to the firearm enhancement (924), any sentences must be consecutive. Police are not immune to arrest, and Colorado authorizes all citizens to make arrests for any felony they witness. The US Supreme Court has ruled that that also authorizes people in Colorado - and elsewhere - to make citizen's arrests for federal crimes (US v. Di Re (1948)). It will do a cop NO favors if his body camera records him being arrested, resisting or fleeing from arrest, and never reporting to booking.
As a colorado resident this sort of thing terrifies me. And in general every time I see cops I’m frightened. I know I haven’t done anything wrong but I know there’s someone mentally unstable on the other end of that interaction who can end my life with impunity. That’s unnerving
As a resident in the United States, this terrifies me! Crooked cops are everywhere and I live next to Chicago so I have experienced my fair share. One thing that police do was shown in this video; the officer stating, "I smell alcohol," which is only second to the usual, "I smell marijuana." An officer can destroy your life by just saying they smell something, with no actual proof
And some people don't and won't ever understand that fear!!! It has nothing to do with guilt, it's like you said, the fact someone is in control of your life for the next 15 to 30 min is terrifying... if they are in a bad mood.can mean I don't.make it home tonight
"That's unnerving". As a resident myself, you should feel that way. Especially, living anywhere near or in the Denver area. Investigate for yourself how terrible and horrible Colorado cops have become. They are animals. They routinely go violent on the disabled, the elderly, the youth, the weak, the innocent.
I just shook my head the whole way through this video. It’s hard to believe that we’ve reached this point. Beyond disgusting. Chief resigns………….and goes to another dept. Ridiculous
" It's hard to believe " we " reached this point " Firstly, who's the " we " you're referring to? And secondly, are you being sincere when you say " it's hard to believe " because it's been beyond this point. See it's a fear or concern of this unjust behavior becoming a " YOU " problem now!!! At least your recognizing now... what's been an on going issue with those abusing their authority.
I'm a nurse. If I were arrested for any reason, I would have to report that for the rest of my career for employment and licensing, even if the charges were dropped, or even if no charges were filed. False arrests ruin lives.
Wow, that is truly f'd up. I feel as tho I should offer my condolences. I would like to know what dumbass came up with that idea
persecuting rules are aimed at destroying lives
Until you got the arrest expunged from your record. Any damages encountered from the false arrest would likely be handled through a civil rights lawsuit.
You're absolutely right! We're supposed to be afforded due process. But you know you can't even buy a gun if you've been charged with something punishable up to a year. Nevermind you weren't convicted. And was wrongly imprisoned. So much for shall not be infringed.
Same for those who hold a Top Secret clearance.
The cop that fabricated all of these bogus charges needs to be held accountable
Those who failed to correct his obvious misdeeds should face the same.
Didn't he have to make a pledge to uphold the constitution? Then he's a traitor, and all traitors should be prosecuted as traitors.
Its all bogus. Look at the 34 charges that stuck to Donald Trump, Dexter Taylor and all the thousands of others in the same situation. The system serves itself. We the people are just an after thought if it chooses to fix the wrong done by its own agents.
But not those that used systems to hide behind that hired him?
You know when the cop saying 'lower your voice' (lol) make me feel like he probably just has PTSD from schools being fucking prisons.
When a cop tells you he has a strong smell of alcohol and you know you are ZERO ZERO, then right off you know he is a liar - so why would anyone trust a deceptive cop on anything after that - the driver has the right to be afronted - hence his reticent attitude
Who is going to save you from a lying cop? If prosecutors , attorneys and judges are all in cahoots.
Did anyone ever think of pursuing charges against the cops themselves? Process of elimination after all if there is only the cop and the victim, there is a strong smell of alcohol, and the victim is proven to not be the source of it. That leaves only the cop as the potential source of the alcohol then doesn't it?
@@fr33ko The courts block any direct action against the cops with "qualified immunity".
Alcohol has no smell. Now beer or other drinks could have a smell. So exactly what does a cop smell? Also it is not unlawful to have a drink or two and drive. A certain amount according to your weight is lawful. Therefore the accusation and arrest for alcohol on the breath is bogus.
*the human body produces a lot of alcohol, I have been accused of smelling like it repeatedly......idiots! I do not drink at all.
Imagine not being a criminal and being arrested by a criminal!
Been there done that! Family court for one. Look up is cps allowed to lie in court!

That shit is, horribly, fascinating. Ending! "Qualified Immunity" and settling lawsuits, from the coffers of police unions, and the individual cop's pension fund is the only incentive for ?igs, to behave.
Anytime an arrest turns out to be false, it should be expunged from the records when it is shown to be false.
I've been arrested then proven the victim, charges dropped and the arrest still shows up on my history
Contact your state..national lawmakers..this is something both sides should get together over.
Plain and simple....
I’ll go you one further. Unless CONVICTED it shouldn’t be on your record.
I had a student in a class for a license that you have to report any convictions for a felony, EVER. So the student was arrested and convicted of a felony but ultimately his conviction was overturned.
He still has to answer “yes” to “have you ever been convicted of a felony” when ultimately he was acquitted.
Totally bogus.

I was arrested for DUI and in court the first image on the cops dash cam while he was pulling up was me sitting in the passenger seat of another car. I also blew .000 and was still arrested. Taken to jail. Was taken by force to have blood test and was denied access to the results. It’s getting ridiculous. I think if a cop falsely arrests someone for DUI/DWI they should be responsible for all the court cost and fines.
At the least.
Just imagine when it wasn't camera footage. Cops are dirty and it'll never stop. They keep the lawsuits coming. I need a lawsuit
I know gangsters are bad but at least innocent people who are victims of gangsters would not be stigmatized for life like criminals after being victimized by gangsters, but innocent people falsely accused and falsely arrested for DUI by gangster-like cops have their lives ruined or stigmatized for life even after the charges were dropped. Worse still, the gangster-like cops face no punishment at all most of the time as their superiors ganged up with them to scam money from the city as extra funding for their false good work against DUI. Those cops who falsely accuse people of DUI or other violations are criminals who should be put in jail. The fact that any of those gangster-like cops can keep their jobs and face no jail time at all for trying to scam money from the city while ruining innocent people's lives is a travesty of justice and a justified reason why many law-abiding citizens do not trust cops.
And charged for false arrest and lying.
Crooked state and city politicians need cops who are ruthless and unconscionable to the people being subjugated while being absolutely obedient to the crooked politicians controlling them in order to stay in power.
As long as the crooked politicians who need absolutely obedient cops to help them to stay in power, they would turn a blind eye to the bad cops oppressing the people under the false color of law enforcement.
Therefore, police reform is not possible when crooked state and city officials are in control.
Vote crooked state and city officials who are apathetic towards victims of police brutality and police corruption out of office is the first step towards police reform.

My dad was a police officer and later of detective Sergeant for 31 years.
When he was retiring I asked him why? His answer was " son when I got on the police force I wanted to make the town safer, the police force Now isn't about putting bad guys in jail (rapist burglars, child molesters and murderers)
It's now about creating Revenue from the working class and filling traffic court rooms".
He told me when he was a patrolman everybody he stopped that was under the influence was given one chance.
The car was parked in a parking lot a taxi was called and the driver was instructed that if the car moved by the end of his shift at 7 a.m. he/she was going to jail.

And cops who are forced to resign because of misconduct should not be allowed to be rehired in another county either.
"he's now resigned and gone to another police department" is the biggest problem with law enforcement in America. It's literally a rotating doorway for corruption, because any time someone gets caught doing these things or violating civil rights or making false arrests or even shooting and killing people, they just 1) go on paid leave, 2) resign, and 3) relocate to the next county over.

Escalate to blood test because suspicion of contraband. Meth or methotrexate... it all can get you into trouble.
Uplifting to hear they were forced to drop the charges when he came back clean as a whistle.
If there was a court date and the judge didn't drop the charges completely with the court's deepest apologies to where his job as a pilot is still in jeopardy when he blew zeros twice and the forced blood test was negative of EVERYTHING, then I would say he/she needs to be removed from the bench and never be a judge ANYWHERE ever again.

Not necessarily out of his jurisdiction.

Then there are memorandums of upstanding or cooperation an officer can respond or patrol a “jusrisdiction not normally part of his departments territory.
So what are we advocating for - putting citizen's lives and well-being ahead of Department Statistics? (Just because our Constitution says it - doesn't make it so and we have lost the ability to have law enforcement behave within it - thanks to SCOTUS & Congress).

Incentivizing arrests should be no brainer just like private prisons. How this is legal is insane, it will always be abused.
I've been saying this for years. Incentivizing incarceration, driving up bodies to prison cells, all connected. Follow the money, how can we allow this in our country? Mainly because it disproportionately affects minorities so many blame the victims instead of policing which is a damn shame. Empathy rarely happens unless it happens more to individuals with more voting power.
So it seems that them doing that is actually costing the city money for possibly getting a civil lawsuit filed against them. These cops are stupid.

Had to take a blood test and wait for the results to come back and then the charges was dropped. The Trooper that pulled me over was unprofessional and disrespectful
I live in Morristown, not far from Greenville,Tennessee. I’ve had a couple of people tell me that very same thing about the state troopers through there. They did a woman that I used to work with the same way with the false DUI. The other guy I talked to said it was profiling. Pulled him over at night for no reason or no probable cause and harassing him on the side of the road before finally letting him go. It was all because of his older model car at the time.
Ive heard Tennessee was really bad with cops
They actually had to close down a police station in a small town in Alabama for this very reason. They messed around and pulled over the wrong person they pulled over a pastor and accuse him of all kind of things when they finally went to court they had to close the entire police station and they found that the police station had so much money they had a tank what town that only has 1000 people in the city limits needs a tank they found police chiefs with summer homes with boats it was ridiculous they had to go back and release all the people they arrested dropped all the charges which was something that should’ve never Happened in the first place.

I was arrested for suspicion of dui in Greeneville, Tn. 3 weeks ago, Greeneville city PD arrested me at 10:30 at night on US11E, he said i was driving erratically, weaving and speeding. When he walked up to my door i already had it down and he said How you doing tonight? I said i was doing great, until now. He says the usual, license, registration and insurance, i already had it in hand and gave it to him, he goes back to his cruiser. Comes back a few minutes later, telks me he can smell the odor of alcohol, how much have i had to drink? I said I havent had a drink in almost 6 years because i have an auto immune disease that is destroying my liver, and literally cant drink without getting deathly sick. He says i need to step out of the vehicle, then wants me to do a field sobriety test , i said just give me a breathalyzer, he says i dont have one with me id have to take you to the hospital, i said what about my dogs because i had them with me, he tells me he has already called animal control, they were on the way to get them. I said, so you telling me youve already decided you are arresting me for dui, and have an snimal control officer coming for my pets, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever that im intoxicated. He said i know your on something, it may not be alcohol but no matter what it is your intoxicated and yes im arresting you for dui, by this time there are 4 other cops there and arrest me he does. He pulls up in the Sally port at the jail and gets me out, we go in to the booking desk. A female jailer says what did he arrest you for, i said dui, she looks at me funny, and says something very interesting. YOU DONT SEEM DRUNK TO ME. Yep, you read that right, i said young lady, you should be the police cheif around here, because it appears some of the patrolman are not really clear on what a drunk looks like. Anyway, when yhey are processing me, i said i need to get a phone number off my phone so i can call for my daughter to come bail me out, they tell me the cop did not turn in a phone with my belongings which is funny because i sat and watched him trying to unlock my phone in his cruiser for 5 minutes after he cuffed and stuffed me, he demanded that I give him the password to unlock it but i refused , he threatened me with obstruction, blah blah blah i said go fuck yourself, yada yada yada. So i told them fine ill just call one of the bail bondsman you have on the wall they said ok but it will be a while before I can do that, but guess what. I never got my phone call, they held me for 5 days before i went to a video appearance before the judge, when he saw i had been in jail for 5 days he says i guess you need a court appointed lawyer, i tell him no your honor i can afford one in fact i have an attorney, but i havent been able to call hom or a bondsman or anything, TIME STOPS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, the judge said, are you telling me you have been in jail for 5 days, since Friday night and you were never allowed to make a phone call ? I said YES YOUR HONOR, THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM TELLING YOU. The judge tells the jail balliff that brought us to the video hearing to take me back to my seat snd bring up the next prisoner. He does, i sit there for about another hour and a half until all the prisoners have had their appearance, then i go and sit in the video spot again, the judge starts reaming out the DA, tells him to get the arresting officer to the courthouse now, yesterday wont be fast enough. He was pissed, they get the cop there, and then the judge started asking me a lot of questions, the arresting officer starts to interupt me to orevent me from answering, the judge tells him, YOU SIT DOWN AND DONT SPEAK UNTIL I TELL YOU TOO! I CONTINUE TELLING THE JUDGE THAT I ASKED FOR A BREATHALYZER, THAT HAVE AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE AND MY DRs NAME SO HE CAN VERIFY THAT, WHICH HE ORDERS THE DA TO DO, I THEN TELL HIM THAT THE COP HAS MY PHONE, HE TOLD THAT COP, OK NOW, AFTER I ASK THIS QUESTION YOU CAN SPEAK, DO YOU HAVE THIS MANS TELEPHONE IN YOUR POSSESSION?

HAVE DROPPED IT IN MY CRUISER WHEN I WAS TRANSPORTING HIM TO THE JAIL, I SAID YOUR HONOR CAN I ADD SOME INFORMATION TO THAT? HE SAYS I CAN, WHEN I TELL HIM THE COP WAS TRYING TO UNLOCK MY PHONE AND DEMANDED THAT I GIVE HIM THE PASSWORD THEN THREATENED ME WITH OBSTRUCTION BECAUSE I WOULDNT, THE JUDGE WENT FUCKING BALISTIC, HE TOLD THE BALIFF TO TAKE ME TO PROCESS ME FOR RELEASE, AND AS I WAS WALKING OUT OF THE ROOM HE TOLD THE COP, OFFICER, DONT SAY ANYTHING ELSE, IM ADVISING YOU TO GET YOURSELF A LAWYER BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

We need to start a petition to end qualified immunity and put an end to internal investigations only then will you have true justice
@@elramo13 Start the petition.
I started a petition to end qualified immunity and put an end to internal investigations sign please.
What I would like to know is where is the F.B.I. in situations like this to hold these CORRUPT COPS ACCOUNTABLE.
I hear there is corruption in the FBI too.
Hahaha seriously! The FBI are domestic terrorists too
The FBI is just as guilty as the police, more so! And more criminal, where is their accountability?
Stop

Sounds like Mothers against drunk driving, should also be brought into the lawsuit, for supporting such behavior.
They should be with mark lofton ,a police officer in Gergioa. He arrested a little old lady stone Cold sober who was dying of cancer, spent her last Christmas in jail for nothing. Funny thing his wife a falling down drunk got arrested by a police officer and he lost his job, for doing his job. Look him up Mark lofton
Why the head mother already proved that she is actually a drunk, she had to resign herself. It's a scam with the blood alcohol level being a .08 you are not impaired below 1.2 the government's proven that numerous times but they decided to make money and we sat back and allowed them to change the laws.
I completely agree. They are the reason behind unconstitutional sobriety checks. They want innocent people to give up their Civil Rights. The end does not always justify the means.
That org. Was sponsored by the cops and the prison industry. They started in the 80s funny thing is the lady that was at the forefront became an instant millionaire. I am not kidding. Florida at that time told them go to hell!!
Absolutely
That department is a national disgrace. They sat on that video of their officers assaulting the elderly woman for over a year. It lets you know that corruption starts at the top.

This man's 6th sense that made him concerned for the officers lack of integrity is rare. Most people would've talked, done what the cop said and even kissed the cops ass in the process. He did a great job protecting himself from this cops as best he could.
Taya here! I completely agree with you. And the patience and politeness that he displayed I think was absolutely amazing. He was held against his will for almost 4 hours forced to take 2 Breathalyzer tests and a blood test I have to say I don't know if I would have maintained my politeness and calm demeanor as well as he did.
There is NOTHING gained from answering questions. "I evoke my 5th ammendment protections" and stand by it.

At what point will organizations like this, the institute for justice, and many other join forces to make more noise?

6th sense? It's pretty easy to tell when you are pulled over without cause or the cop lies and makes something up you realize you are being pulled over by a criminal.
No one is EVER surprised when bogus arrests like this turn out to be from Loveland, CO.! They definitely make "false arrests" a sporting event with police misconduct and excessive force complaints being rampant!
When a cop says "I've explained the law to you" they haven't; they don't know the law. They're not obliged to tell you the truth either, so say nothing except "I am exercising my right to remain silent" until your lawyer arrives.

Do you realize by this police abuse right over America people will star5 staying home instead of living their lives. MEANING the police is putting a lockdown on civiials by making these false arrests. And about the income on arrests, just recently it was on our RSA radio station about a town in America that had made SO much money that. JUDGE has said that county is not allowed to make any of these arrest for the next foreseeable time , I can't remember the specific time. Your laws need to be changed from WAY ABOVE. A state legislation. many many lives ruined by false arrests and N.O. consequences and this seems to be countrywide. So I PRAY that all these platforms that cover these kind of abuse, that YOU GUYS will stand together at take this to the highest posiible whatever and get some consequence addressed. There MUST BE a change
How the judiciary can uphold LEO’s being able to lie to you to get a confession is beyond corrupt!!!
@@La-familia-de-Fazio because all they care about is locking people up and fines.. It's all a money making racket now. Prisons are labor camps now run by businesses, departments get funding based on the more arrest... Everything is designed for arresting as many people as they can. It's not about rehabilitation either.. Not American prisons.. That's been heavily proven, we're all about punishment and free labor.. Because guess what? Our laws against slavery.... Don't apply to prisoners.. Only modern country that's outlawed slavery who lef that loophole in.. No joke.. They purposefully left it in to just arrest black people to enslave them again.. Now they use it on everyone but mainly non-white people, unless they're at the lower end of the social ladder.
I particularly liked that he refused to let the man READ the paperwork. He expected him to sign it based on what he told him. I’m really glad they have that on video!! That will go against the cop.
When the cop said he smelled an overwhelming odor of alcohol, then the breathalyzer and blood test came back negative, he should've been deemed incompetent to do any more traffic stops whatsoever.. the treachery of the systems that allows these kinda things to continue happening knows no bounds.. it's an egregious abuse of people's constitutional rights and liberties and completely unacceptable.. it really seems that an utter lack of integrity, honor and morality must be the requirements to become an officer..
Probably smelled his own breath
@@chaimomma9198 That's exactly what I was going to say.
The issue with saying you smell the odor of alcohol, is that alcohol doesn’t have a smell per se. I worked as an EMT for over 12 years, and in my reports I NEVER stated I smelled alcohol, I would report “a smell consistent with having consumed an alcoholic beverage”.
I’ve dealt with intoxicated persons on the ambulance many times, but never once said I smelled alcohol.
But yeah ethyl alcohol has NO odor. You cannot actually SMELL alcohol on someone or coming from the vehicle. You can smell an odor consistent with an alcoholic beverage due to the other ingredients in the drink.
So this innocent man here could have put up a defense of that right away on scene. There are MANY good officers out there that do their jobs professionally and I’ve known and worked along side lots of them, but there are some, like this one that erode trust in all law enforcement, even the good ones.
@@chaimomma9198 Cops are allowed to lie to the public (but you're not allowed to lie to them, of course). Now if he wrote it on a sworn statement as part of the arrest report, then there would be an offense that could be prosecuted. But what are the odds of a prosecutor taking that case to court? Zero.
YOU forgot WORKING BRAINS AND BRAIN CELLS.
Incentivizing arrest needs to be outlawed! This is outrageous and unjust! Crimes against humanity is what it is!
True let’s bring up these civil rights violations up at the UN opps US will block it nevermind
Also prosecuted for it.
Easier would be dead or alive orders. Shoot the suspect and tell he smelled alcohol and it looked like he pulled a gun.
Eh, I don't like that response either. I think there should be consequences for false arrests. For instance, if there are x number of false arrests, the department loses half the funding it would have received for legitimate arrests.
Humanity is a failure. This country's founding fathers were slave owners.
I like how cops can pull you over for "driving slowly", or not using turn signals, or ignoring the stop sign, but they can flip their lights on, sound the siren, to drive through the red light, and then turn it off after crossing.
As citizens we need laws that state clearly when an officer or precinct is sued the money resulting from the judgement should come from the Police Pension Fund and not just paid by the local tax base.
Screw that! Let's make the crooked cops pay the damages out of their OWN pockets! Seize their boats, jet skis, cars, ORVs, houses, etc, and sell them at bargain prices, until they are paid up! And then blacklist them from EVER again being a cop, or owning a gun. It's going to take no less than this to straighten out the police. And why should they be allowed to break the laws they swore an oath to uphold, and get free legal representation, while we are ruined by a damn misdemeanor!
🙏🏻AMEN🙏🏻 It should be the officer's responsibility to buy insurance to cover these costs instead of the tax payers. Where's the justice in that??
Anyone willfully making a false arrest should be immediately subject to legal and civil liability.
I'll modify that a bit. 33% of the money should be paid for by the perpetrator himself. The pension fund is not an insurance policy against poor judgement.
brillaint proposal. will stop all this foolishness immediately
Officer Gates needs to be arrested and put in jail, or given some 'true justice' by somebody to stop him doing it again and to protect the public. Such a shame that so many USA police officers are corrupt, but it is the same here in the UK as well.
Agreed 👍
I know our police force is far, far from perfect, but its nowhere near as bad as america. You get pulled over here for drunk driving, you'll get tested there an then, and if its a low or zero score, you'll be on your way straight away.
Seriously who knows how far he will take this kind of stuff. Alot of people hate cops because of this kind of thing. A few bad apples ruin it for everyone. This is disgusting.
And that's how it should be done 👌@@TIMMEH19991

All officials who are involved in this need to go to prison for there actions.
This cop needs to be put in prison because now the tax payers will have to foot the bill for the law suit that's coming get rid of these vile thugs .they stink make them pay .
In the future, you should add the cop's name to the description, so that this video will come up in Google searches for his name. Same with judges, DAs, whoever is corrupt in these stories. Especially in cases like this, where charges have been dismissed and there's no question. These people don't get punished like we do. They have to be accountable for the mistakes they make.

A good friend of my Father almost died in the back of a Police car. They didn't bother to check his wrist medical alert tag and he almost died of Diabetic shock because they thought he was drunk.

I was falsely arrested in Henry County Alabama, cost $335 to bond out and another $300 to get my vehicle out, the trooper didn't have probable cause to stop me so he made up interfearing and resisting, led violation and no d.l.,
At my fake trial judge Peterson said his opinion is that i violated a light violation that the trooper used to stop me, he sent me to jail 12 months interfearing 6 months resisting and i went straight to jail, my bondsman filed an appeal for me and got me out of jail, i still have a jury trial coming, will be 2yrs since the stop in october. I have spent $3,000 on an attorney, missed 5 days from work over this, the police care less what they cost you, they don't care if you are fired over them false arresting you, no public servant gives a crap for the people that pays their salaries, its all a money making system for public servants.
That's our anti-justice system at work. A cop murders someone, gets paid vacation, a free lawyer (an actual lawyer, not a pretender) and a slap on the wrist.
Sorry that this happened to you. I've also had some horror stories. It seems almost inevitable these days.
That's infuriating, good luck to you.
Unfortunately thats what happens when society teaches everyone that all men are bad...

Very very WISE observation
The saddest part is that this will forever be on his record! The lawsuit should push for absolute removal of this from his record. It is not enough to show case was dismissed/dropped. There should never be a permanent mark on someone's record for wrongful arrest! Never acceptable.
Agreed 100%!!!
YUP. Like how I was arrested for rape.... The DNA wasn't even the same race. It was the girl's BF!!! She was just afraid to tell her parents she had sex with him. So, she decided my LIFE didn't matter, and said I raped her, to get out of trouble.... GOD BLESS DNA! Cause my DNA wasn't on the condom they found in her trash.
She didn't care how hard I had worked to move thousands of miles away, on my own, without my parent's help. Nor that I went to night and day school to graduate early. NO NO. She cared more about not getting in trouble with her parents. OH, and I was on SOMA, and OXYCONTIN at the time of said "rape" I wasn't aroused at all. I was recovering from a painful accident.
The officer, should have his face all over face book, internet,for the rest of his life. Blast his face, over, over and expose him. All details pertaining to the charges, have family members if you die, to keep it on facebook and RUclips forever.

As someone who has gone thru the misery of getting a legitimate DUI, makes me sick thinking someone who did nothing wrong going through that horrible process. Losing your license is huge and can have devastating effects on your ability to do so much. They hold us accountable for what we do but that accountability needs to go in their direction when policy is abused and lives get ruined.

I had almost the same thing happen to me 5 years ago. A stare trooper stopped me on the highway, and the trooper asked me to do roadside test. I told him my balance was affected by two surgeries, and the cop called me a liar, handcuffed me, and had my car towed. We went to a police station and I blew 00 and the trooper took me for a blood test. It came back clean. The the trooper told me I could not drive for 8 hours. I told him to screw off and I was going to get my car. Once I got my car for 200 bucks the trooper was waiting for me and stopped me again. Another trooper came and told me I was driving after being told not to drive. He said it was policy to do that. I told him a policy is not a law. The second trooper finally told the 1st trooper he had to let me go. The last thing a said to them was at least I kept them from violating anyone's else's rights for 5 hours. They were passed. I did a formal complaint, but it was a waste of time because the police check the police with no outside review. What a joke.
This guys need to be stopped ... Once upon a time I felt sorry for them when NY was filled up with thugs during Giulannis term but the whole thing spun around now Cops are crooks...
100%. And the "good" police wonder why people don't trust them. I've seen several stories of people having PTSD episodes on a routine stop and then they arrested them with bogus charges like "disturbing the peace" when it was the officer that created the PTSD episode in the first place. Its a phucknclownworld.
Another vlogger here has said - NEVER DO A ROADSIDE TEST - IT'S A TRAP - if you lose your balance for any reason they will nail you on DUI. Consent to a breathalyzer and maybe a blood test. That's it.
It takes a month or two to get blood results from a hospital.
It’s not as simple as a piss test.
Thank you for exposing these pathetic examples of authority. I've been arrested twice for DUI and had to hire an attorney to only have the charges dropped. I'm tired of these pathetic individuals ruining people's lives.

Agreed. I live in Canada. I was arrested for aggravated assault. The problem is, I was the victim. A neighbour, clearly under the influence, attacked me in my own home. I defended myself just enough to get away, and this woman followed me and broke down my door to get at me, then attacked me again. Yet I was arrested, and she wasn't, despite me having tons of proof that she was the attacker. Also, these charges were dropped two years later, after I refused to take any deals, the stress of this case, and forcing me to move, destroyed my kidneys, forcing me on to dialysis.
I had LAPD come to my hospital and accuse me of a DUI, when the ambulance picked me up from MY HOUSE. I had fallen and hit my head. They had no evidence. But some ass at the hospital called, and reported my BAC was high. I had been drinking, and called my grandmother. Mentioned to her that I hit my head. She was just paranoid, and made me call an ambulance. I was fine. Just a bump on my head, that went away pretty quick.

I was framed for 2 DUI and wasn't driving either one .. one police report read thry had 2 witnesses that would testify they saw me driving in a grocery store parking lot the other the DA said she would tell the officers to say they say me driving funny and followed me into the store parking lot and waited for me to come out when my attorney said he was going to out me on the stand and say I was walking out of a store .. they will lie to get convictions I know how it works ..
One thing that is enabling policing to be like this is that police can stand behind “Qualified Immunity.” If qualify immunity is made illegal for any public official including law enforcement, stories like these will become a lot less frequent.
QI as written does not apply in a huge % of cases where the courts pretend it exists. The courts don't care. Neither does enough of the public yet, so far.

We had this happen to one of our employees. She was closing up the bar after a long shift and was pulled over. The police officer said she was speeding and said her eyes were red. She passed the field sobriety test and blew 0.00. Then they took her in for a blood test. She passed that too, but they still had me come pick her up since her license was suspended while this was all sorted out. They had her take an additional blood test which also came back negative. It took 5 weeks to get everything dropped and sorted out. I called the Lieutenant and tried my best to help her in this situation. Once the officer had a "hunch" and thought she had committed an OWI, there was no turning back or any kind of further analysis. Guilty till proven innocent.

There could have been an alcohol smell coming from the vehicle, but that doesn't excuse any of his actions.
You would think that any supervisor who reads a report with a blatant lie in it might question the officer's integrity, but clearly that didn't happen.

I've seen this video, the suspect asked what other tests could be taken to prove his innocence a few times and I believe he asked if his doctor could draw his blood before consenting to a breath test but the officer told him that a blood test could take up to a week to get the results, however the breathalyzer is back at the police station. After the suspect blew ZERO, the cop asked him to take a blood test...after threatening him with the prospect that he could be in custody until the results were determined.
Great job on the story
I saw the original video also. If I remember correctly, he tried getting a hospital to do an independent blood test bc he didn't trust the police or the hospital he was taken for the blood draw to give an honest negative test. This guy was run around and did nothing wrong. Sad

Hey buddy😑!!! No matter how many tests you could've come with that the guy wasn't guilty of anything!!! To that piece of 💩of an "officer of the LAW...that poor SAP was a goner anyway😔😑!!! In my country we have a say that goes like this..." When a rock hit is due for the dog...even if he is dead...he will still get It😔😑!!!
Its a violation of rights to be unlawful arrested and is prosecutable. The officer should be charge and the trophy was the insentive to violate the citizens rights. When the DA's fail to prosecute bad officers they need to face charges or dissbarment. The failure of DA's doing their job and holding bad officers accountable has led to exsseive bad policing around the country
Excellent show ! This truly is a problem in our communities and yes ! The damage it causes to individuals is sickening.
Imagine not being drunk at all and still getting accused of being drunk
No need to imagine. There are tons of videos here on YT for victims to whom this has happened.
Mr Elias in this case is a pilot. He may well have lost his job just because he was falsely arrested even if he blew all Zeros.
This is the USA showing the rest of the world how citizens and residents are truly treated. Almost like a police state already.
@@francescathomas3502- I'd like to know why the charges are still visible after he was found not guilty or the charges were dropped??
In Canada, I was falsely arrested and after my charges were dropped, as far as I know, it's off my record. I did a vulnerable sector's check for a job (a criminal check plus more) afterwards, and it came back clean, so it must not be on my record. How is it fair that it remains on your records? That means that even though you're not convicted, just having an ACCUSATION against you can be used against you. That's so WRONG.
My sister blew a 0.0 and they did the same thing to her.
@@wvrjl Its the way they do things here in the USA. Once the system decides to pick you out of the crowd, it usually will keep messing with you.
@@Ryan-ff2dbyep standard procedure is if they can't prove u were drinking they'll come up with a bullshit excuse n tell u ur under some narcotic then they'll issue u to take a blood test to check ur "drug" levels. if u refuse they'll falsely charge for drug charges even though there is no proof.
This cop was condescending from the jump. Completely dismissive, manipulative, and a yearning for dominance upon first contact. I feel like since the inception of body cams, the line “I smell” comes up more and more often. It’s something that’s being engrained into their culture as another form of evidence despite the lack of evidence from the body worn camera’s. The fact that someone can arbitrarily say, “I smell” carry’s so much weight in the criminal justice system, is a travesty. How do you dispute that, YOU CAN’T! It’s total bullshit
The corrupt cop has his script down pat because he knows it's on camera. The courts haven't found out that he's a corrupt manipulative lying cop yet.
and thats why they do it and make sure they get it on cam.
I ran across quite a few videos like this. People blowing triple zero or below the legal limit and still being arrested for DUIs. They may throw it out of court. But can you imagine the stress ??? They can figure out a way or make up a way to arrest you or wright you a ticket or fine.
I can't help but wonder how many others like myself have PTSD from past interactions with crooked cops.
I have PTSD from the cops that harassed me for five years while the husband (dentist) and I divorced was petrified of being arrested again. He was very creative with his lies. So yes I feel bad for you to have been subjected to cop abuse, I hope someday for you to come to peace with the memories. 😢😢😢 It took many years to be at peace with the situation. You will get there some day. God Bless You
I was taken to jail one night because the police officer said that he thought I was trying to steal a car. I’m sitting in the passenger side seat dome light on radio playing keys in the ignition yeah I was really trying to steal the car
I absolutely have PTSD from having to deal with crooked cops. It’s a terrifying experience.
Sarah is an awesome advocate for Colorado citizens. She has been very effective in showing the corruption of the Loveland police. Stinks from the head to the tail in that dept.
When the police department said it was still a good arrest, or a "solid DUI" I would love to see how they can explain that. Because at the end of the day, dude was sober which means its impossible it was a good arrest.
Not really. If an officer has probable cause to suspect you of a DUI, he can arrest you, and it is a “good arrest” even if later it came s up in the station you are not drunk. The problem for this case, is that when it was PROVEN he is not drunk, they said “test does not match our judgment, so we’ll ignore the test and not release you”. If they had released him after pr the test, they’d have a reasonable case to claim the initial arrest was justified.
@@bluestarwars So their "judgment" is the probable cause for the arrest in this case. If that's true, it allows PDs around the country to manufacture DUI arrest at will as judgement is subjective.
Failure to signal and obeying the speed limit is not probable cause to suspect a DUI. If it was, the cop wouldn't have had to imagine a strong odor of alcohol that didn't exist.
@@bluestarwars no it not
@Aluzky he was driving like that bc he was unfamiliar with the area which adds up. people tend to drive slow in areas they aren’t familiar with bc they aren’t comfortable with the roads
This is why qualified immunity has to stop. They know that their actions will not come back to them personally. If it did, they wouldn't be doing this.
Once the charges were dropped on this man, the police would be forced to PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE and ADMIT TO THEIR WRONG DOINGS IN THIS CASE, with news media filming and the accused present to either accept or deny the apology. All records expunged. The arresting officer to go in front of a civilian review board, for his actions. Then the accused is still allowed to sue the officer and department for their actions, and those individuals are responsible for the award amount. All without qualified immunity.
Get rid of qualified immunity and internal affairs because they don't work for the people.
I hold the department head for how his men preform. He sets the mode, additude, and aggression of his men. Fire the sheriff!, Or deputies!!!!!
Very very WISE observation
Already gone in Colorado.
Robert P: Cops should be required to carry liability insurance, just like doctors and lawyers.
If they can't get insurance, or lose their insurance, they can't be hired or are immediately fired.
The state representatives and the governor of Colorado have ENDED QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. THESE ARE MODERN DAY NAZI BROWN SHIRTS, WHO WILLINGLY VIOLATE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
I wish this sort of false accusation and arrest would happen to every judge, prosecuting attorney and legislator on every level five times. Then we would see some changes.
my goodness I do agree 💯 totally with you and that's the only way we will ever see any kind of changes
You're right. The problem can't be solved until the whole corrupt system is flushed out.
The police just let them go.
Judges can’t be prosecuted for judgments rendered in most cases, it’s all apart of the system to keep the corrupt with power and in control. The whole system needs an overhaul.
Brilliant!!!! i think this is the only way, you are right, damn, i never thought it in 30 years
What really grinds my gears is that a lawyer even had to be involved at all.
All the evidence was there, and accessible, but the courts won't do anything unless the defendant shells out big bucks for a lawyer
That is my biggest problem with all encounters with law enforcement and the courts.
An arrest, even when charges are dropped, follows you and messes with getting/keeping jobs, loans, housing, security clearances, custodial rights, and colors all future encounters with police.
When you have to defend yourself in court, it costs you money and time away from the rest of your life, win or lose. And you can never get reimbursed for the time and money you have to spend, even when you are obviously not guilty.
@@MonkeyJedi99 sue them, and make sure, if they settle out of court, that the offense is stricken from all your records, and if it goes to court and a jury, and they find you innocent, that your attorney makes sure it's stricken from your records.
I believe he has hired this lawyer because his civil rights were trampled on, and he is seeking compensation for it. He deserves it, but the funds aren't paid by the police dept or the city, it's passed on to the taxpayer's.🤬
@@n8iv386 makes my blood boil. They have perfectly crafted this system against the average citizen.
You probably will be surprised, but being innocent is neither a defense, nor protection from arrest, charge and conviction.
No wonder Americans are moving to Australia, Police telling a lie by saying they smelt Alcohol when there was none, is a disgrace.
"I'm not gonna play this game with you" from a cop means: "shut up and let me violate your right!"
Absolutely, been there,heard it, they all crooked given right situations
@@ItsaRomethingeveryday security operations specialist 9 years. While in my suit looking like secret service they treat me with respect. Holding doors for me and letting me go for minor infractions.

This guy was a pilot the repercussions are huge and he had major issues with faa until it was cleared.
What about the Colorado cop that was cut out of his police vechile blood showed. 255 never charged for dui while sitting in traffic passed out in mid day while on duty.
He should be charged
Laws for thee not for me!!
I've never heard of anything so terrible. Can you imagine being arrested for a DWI and you never even had a drink!?!!? I had never heard of this before. I would sue them.😠
Oh this happens constantly actually this would be a dream for some people. They prey on people that have no ability to fight and no one ever knows. They are a paycheck to them. Even a poor person is worth 50k a year in the private prison system
DUI isn't just alcohol, it's also narcotics, medicines or sleep deprivation. That last one would have cleared up the moment you were stopped due to adrenaline and thus very hard to prove unless driving alongside the car for a bit, but any chemicals would have shown up on the blood test.
Where the hell you been shit like this happens all the time
Then imagine your suit going nowhere because they have qualified immunity.
This and worse happens. How about people all across the spectrum being arrested with bogus manufactured evidence presented against them to incarcerate people for decades?? Incredulous.
I have heard that one incentive they have to ticket and or arrest innocent people is because it adds to their retirement benefits to spend more time in court and an innocent individual is more likely to make them show up in court!!!!!!! And with their immunity there is no deterrent since it will cost them nothing even though they are wrong!!!!!!!
All police departments and there employees need to be transparent. I had to bail my daughter out of jail this morning because her ex assaulted her and she defended herself and she was the one who called them to help. And they arrested her. It's sickening that you can't even call them for help without the threat of getting into trouble😞
my ex shot at me.. like with a shot gun...it left a divet in the ground in front of me..then came after me knocking me down on the ground....slamming the rifle across my neck untill I escaped & I'm the one who went to jail...
Thats how they want it. Look at the numbers do the math look at the big picture and open your eyes and it becomes very very clear that law enforcements job is not to fight crime but to create crime and hate and animosity and to control our every move while making themselves rich by never questioning the orders they are givin. Understanding the constitution and our rights and knowing the basic fundamentals of law enforcement like RAS and PROBABLE CAUSE are necessary only if cops true purpose was to fight crime.
strange, usually the male is automatically arrested because of #believeallwomen ...
Just like Mexico….
“Have a problem, call the police.
Now you have two problems!”
A man with good communication skills will overrule most women in almost any situation. Male bias is very strong so the only way women win is by having better communication skills or being very attractive and going to make the report with a man who will back her up.
Everyone should have a dash cam in their car. This is beyond criminal. And this is probably just one of many places where this is happening.
it's everywhere it's all of them even if they just turn a blind eye it's still guilty by association and all police are in a world wide furternal ordered most of them are Masons they look down on anyone who isn't that's how they have no empathy for we the people just contempt for us
Most places it's happening... Most.
I had it happen to me twice inBenton county, OR. Blew .000 and then requested to talk to a “Drug recognition training officer” like I was an idiot. I simply told the officer I would have to decline the request as I just submitted to the breath test. And therefore fulfilled the implied consent requirement. They had no choice but to let me go and withdraw the DUII charge. So, do submit to breath test if requested and you have the law on your side as far as declining to submit to further testing.
They need to take the DUI arrest bonuses and trophies from the cops. PUBLICALLY.
The courts made quotas illegal. Any financial or personal awards should also be made illegal. Just doing their job, protecting the community should be satisfaction enough.
Great idea!! This makes the law abiding person pay for towing & possible court charges! Shameful!
Right. It's called defuding the police. Contrary to popular belief? It means to stop incentiving police. The police in your municipality is federally funded and property taxes funded. Which means they'll most likely to funded, however when they seizure property, money, or assets? 90% goes back to there department, which is a surplus on top off all there funding. Now what do you think are they doing with this surplus money for legal, or illegal seizure surplus money? I'll give you a hint; militarization.
People need to petition that RICO charges be brought against MADD
@@waynedavis936 they shouldn't even be paid for overtime in my honest opinion. A set salary based on rank. No bonuses, no qualified immunity, and in fact, severer punishments for cops who break the law.
You knew where the cop was going when he made up the "I smell alcohol coming out of your car". Eliminating qualified immunity is a start. They should be able to purchase their own malpractice insurance paid by each officer to pay for their mistakes. Enough law suites that the Insurance company has to pay out will drop them just like auto insurance. At some point they will have to pay out of their own pocket. Accountability!
QI is a problem generally, but it's absolute dog **** that directly committing a crime with no basis for doing so can possibly fit that category anyway. One isn't exercising a genuine effort at law enforcement while lying and actively committing a crime.
I would probably acquit the guy who got arrested if he used physical force to flee the station after breathing 0's. Even if he seriously injured the cop in doing so. I would never ask or expect that of anybody, because doing that puts your life on the line. But if presented that in court? Not convicting that.
Many professionals carry personal E&O, personal liability insurance at their own expense. Unlawfully arresting someone should have equally grave consequences as a medical professional purposely or negligently fatal medicine.
They are bonded lien their bonds
He screwed himself. The smell of alcohol so intense but the guy blows triple zeroes? He then had to switch to - you’re on drugs.
That's a brilliant idea and should be mandatory for all cops,I'm a lowly contractor and I can't work without insurance.
So let me see how can a corrupt police department find criminality within its own department if they don't believe in following the rules of law and violating and making up rules as they see fit and this system go's along with unethical behavior because there's no integrity among thieves
Police Unions provides
QUALIFY IMMUNITY
I hear Colorado dropped qualified immunity. Hopefully it is totally gone from there and other states, then federal government follows through. Although, the supreme court drew up and made this a "law" in order to protect themselves, highly unlikely it will ever be repealed.
Now, work on those corrupt police unions!
@@968porsche9 I agree..
Police Unions needs to be DISMANTLE and DECAPITATE out of existance..
This is why we need to form a civilian investigation team. It can be comprised of private investigators, lawyers, and everyday ppl that have term limits that way ppl can't be bought off.
Joe Biden has been a politician for about 50 years. Term limits only apply when the citizens show enough intelligence to realize when they are being conned by the people trying to get into an office that allows abuse.
This almost seems comical. Unfortunately, it’s not. I hope the city looses every penny it gained from these kind of arrests and more.
And thank you for mentioning how MADD corrupts the system by awarding false arrest.
This happened to me in Fayette Co., Tennessee. Turns out that the word is that the prosecutor's office gets grant/money from the state according to the number of D.U.I convictions. I couldn't afford an attorney that could have (relatively) easily get it thrown out or found not guilty. It happened September 2020 and I was forced to plead guilty. Attorney fee:$750. Civil fines:$1000, probation fees monthly for a year, restricted license fee, intoxilock requirements $45 every 2 weeks, sr22 insurance expenses, license reinstatement fee, and when i sold my vehicle and no longer had a vehicle they revoked my license again for failure to maintain sr22. I still have no valid license today and I don't forsee it possible in the near future.
Happen to me in hawkins county. Failed physical roadside tests because of my disability which I told cop of, blood draw came back with small amount of prescription medication. Result im on probation for about the next 3 years. Fuck these jokers
The most disturbing aspect of this lack of justice system is, in my opinion, never holding the police officers, involved, personal accountable!
When lawsuits are submitted and granted, the costs of those lawsuits should get out of the police officers' pockets! And not be payed by the local community!
I think intent is important on whether the police department should be held liable or the individual. If a cop is trying to do the right thing and let’s say crashes into someone during a pursuit. Hopefully department insurance would cover that and any injuries or damages. But if it’s malicious and you can prove it was the officer should be held individually liable. However they suing party wouldn’t get that much from a cops vs how much they’d get from a city or state.
I 100% agree! Everyone needs accountability. Especially individuals that have power.
Indeed. Cops under our form of government don’t actually have that authority to oppress us. We just let them get away with it and allow for sub laws that violate our constitutional rights.
Wrong. If they don't come out of the tax base of the local community than the local community doesn't care about fixing their police system.
Deprivation of rights under color of law (18 USC 242) - for example, by arresting someone for exercising 4th and 5th amendment rights - while in possession of a firearm is a federal felony (18 USC 924) if there is any act of violence or threat of violence by the violator during the rights violation. It is IMPOSSIBLE to handcuff someone else without committing simple assault, which is an act of violence.
The crime in question is punishable by ten years in federal prison, and thanks to the firearm enhancement (924), any sentences must be consecutive.
Police are not immune to arrest, and Colorado authorizes all citizens to make arrests for any felony they witness. The US Supreme Court has ruled that that also authorizes people in Colorado - and elsewhere - to make citizen's arrests for federal crimes (US v. Di Re (1948)). It will do a cop NO favors if his body camera records him being arrested, resisting or fleeing from arrest, and never reporting to booking.
As a colorado resident this sort of thing terrifies me. And in general every time I see cops I’m frightened. I know I haven’t done anything wrong but I know there’s someone mentally unstable on the other end of that interaction who can end my life with impunity. That’s unnerving
I feel you man it seems like it’s getting worse
As a resident in the United States, this terrifies me! Crooked cops are everywhere and I live next to Chicago so I have experienced my fair share. One thing that police do was shown in this video; the officer stating, "I smell alcohol," which is only second to the usual, "I smell marijuana." An officer can destroy your life by just saying they smell something, with no actual proof
And some people don't and won't ever understand that fear!!! It has nothing to do with guilt, it's like you said, the fact someone is in control of your life for the next 15 to 30 min is terrifying... if they are in a bad mood.can mean I don't.make it home tonight
"That's unnerving". As a resident myself, you should feel that way. Especially, living anywhere near or in the Denver area. Investigate for yourself how terrible and horrible Colorado cops have become. They are animals. They routinely go violent on the disabled, the elderly, the youth, the weak, the innocent.
My God!
I just shook my head the whole way through this video. It’s hard to believe that we’ve reached this point. Beyond disgusting. Chief resigns………….and goes to another dept. Ridiculous
I bet this happens a lot.
" It's hard to believe " we " reached this point "
Firstly, who's the " we " you're referring to? And secondly, are you being sincere when you say " it's hard to believe " because it's been beyond this point.
See it's a fear or concern of this unjust behavior becoming a " YOU " problem now!!! At least your recognizing now... what's been an on going issue with those abusing their authority.
