‘Dude, I Blew Zero!’: College Athlete Sues Iowa Cops for DUI Arrest
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 фев 2023
- In a shocking case of apparent police misconduct, Tayvin Galanakis, a freshman football player at William Penn University, has filed a lawsuit against three Iowa police officers and the city of Newton following a controversial DUI arrest in August 2022. Bodycam footage from the incident reveals a disturbing scene as Galanakis, who had blown a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test and successfully completed sobriety tests, is forcibly placed under arrest. The video captures the 19-year-old's disbelief and outrage as he shouts, "Dude, I blew zero!" while being handcuffed and taken into custody. The footage has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious questions about the officers' actions and the potential violation of Galanakis' rights.

After being released later that night, once further tests confirmed his sobriety, Galanakis took the brave step of sharing the bodycam footage on his own social media accounts. The video quickly went viral, prompting an outpouring of support from the public and calls for justice. Encouraged by his supporters, Galanakis made the decision to take legal action against the officers involved in his arrest. In an exclusive interview with The Law&Crime Network's Sierra Gillespie, Galanakis discusses the details of his arrest, the impact it has had on his life, and his determination to hold the officers accountable for their actions.

fact that you can get arrested for being polite and completely sober is insane and I am appalled.
u can get arrested for anything if the cop has a big enough ego
You could technically be arrested for anything, it’s up to the courts to fix these wrongs
Ive seen a video where a dude got arrested in his own yard... for nothing....
Yep this is a new fear unlocked
Welcome to America.
It's crazy to watch someone intentionally trying to ruin someones life and the other cop just sits and watches it.
The other cop is just as much to blame for letting this go on.
Said cops should get the treatment
it's not the first time. Gonna be a long time until we see the last case like this, but hoping this upstanding young man gets justice for the unlawful arrest.
Cops need guns bc they are all scared their past will catch them someday. Its the only peace they can get.

I had a false arrest for DUI in Mower County Minnesota September 21 2023 I had a breathalyzer which read 000 and a negative drug test. The police removed my 5 children for 12 hours before releasing me and then never following through with the charges in court. I was simply driving home to Connecticut from Montana. I will be filing in Federal court this week
good for you man i am from danbury ct and they’ve screwed me over so many times i’m 18 so i’ve always just ran from the cops. Cops are not your friend and will throw any possible charge on you so it’s best i made a time attack car
good luck

I spent 15 years of my life as a Paramedic. Our division shared facilities with the local S.O. In that time I witnessed widespread corruption involving the majority of the deputies at the dept.
The experience really opened my eyes. I am a veteran and I am generally pro-law enforcement - so it’s sad for me to say, every Deputy I knew LOOKED for reasons to make an arrest- it was their primary goal with EVERY interaction with the public. They are not your friends. Rest-assured, behind closed doors, they laugh and brag about every arrest.
I used to work for the State as an Emergency Response Tech, we worked hand in hand with the Transportation Authority Police. I witnessed cops flat out lie to people to search their cars (they would tell me the stories after when they were hanging around), cops lie and say they needed to show ID, and ofc like you said, laugh and brag about every arrest behind close doors. People wonder why police get such a bad rep and its exactly situations like this. I no longer work for the State thank goodness. I hate to bite my tongue every time they started bragging about their stories and corrupt practices.
Just because one is not anti-police doesn't mean they must be pro-police. I understand that cops have an important job, but there does need to be some serious reforms within police and sheriffs department.
@@mattg2306 The bad apples are spoiling the rest not the other way around. Former good cops doing things by the book now join in the corruption. Likewise in the streets, former good kids have to act out to be left alone by the bad kids.
@@RobertTapiayes
I was a soldier and soldiers aren't your friends either. They laugh behind closed doors about killing people! The shame of it all!
The fact that the officers tried to counter-sue for “defamation” is hilarious, and clownish behavior 😂
Especially because all the facts are in the video😂
That's the sense of entitlement and lack of accountability. They get away with so much wrong doing over and over, they get offended when someone tried to hold them accountable.
That's going to be two lawsuits they lose, increasing the overall loss the department will see. They need to just take the L and retrain all officers of the district with a final warning contract(or rather a "no more warnings" contract) upon retraining completion. When each officer realizes they have no more chances to save employment over such matters is when they may actually listen. Of course many wont, but they've already been given their final warning.
@@Duckduckobtusegoose He could have a DUI for driving under the influence of Marijuana. It doesn't necessarily matter that he blew a 0.
I love how he told the cop that he’s tested for weed every week and was last tested on Friday. “Today’s Saturday though” 🤦🏻♀️ A cop should know how long weed stays in the system and especially the hair. When he gets tested again Monday and it comes back negative, he has all the ammunition he needs to successfully sue.
When he asked the kid "Why are you shaking?". While the kid was standing in his shorts in the rain, being intimidated by a cop, is when you realize this guy is a real piece of work. Unfit for duty imo.
Wouldn’t mind seeing 3-5 years prison time for something like this
@@willtoler6917 Wouldn't mind seeing him being put down publicly lmfao. But we can't have that now can we, gotta be civil about things and all. Hopefully the kid gets that ape in at least SOME trouble.
@@willtoler6917 nah I think there should be an extra crime for going against the oath officers take, they take an oath to uphold the constitution, if you go against that oath you should be imprisoned for 10 years

Me: it's freezing and raining and im in shorts
cop: well i can wear shorts and not shiver
me: your mother is very proud of you im sure
so yeah i got arrested for the same thing.
wish i knew i could sue for this. it was about 10 years ago. im a veteran and very used to dealing with sad people tripping on power, but i told myself i would never be subject to "taking it like a good boy" ever again, so I wasn't gonna let him get away with talking to me like that. i knew what the consequences would be and i was prepared to handle them.
sat in jail for a few hours and then got a letter from the DA a week before i was supposed to appear in court that said no charges were being filed.
@@Faygo2215 That would fix the problem though! We can't have logical solutions! Its witchcraft!
Telling the officer if he wants to blow you is crazy 😂😂
I am surprised this recording didn’t disappear
Bodycams are the biggest step forward in keeping cops accountable. Imagine if this had happened without a bodycam, this boy might be in jail or worse
have you seen the videos of cops openingly breaking the law on their bodycams tho? there is no reprocussions for these trashcans. some of them are the worst people in the States imo.
@@NardoAndRonie Yes i have seen them. What i was saying is that it will be 100 times worst if they didnt have bodycams. Without the bodycams, they could have shot this kid and said he was resisting arrest and everyone would have believed the cops, why because they are the "good guys"
@@mr.increediblle7964 it obviously helps. but the fact that they still do that exact thing with bodycams on is despicable

"Handled it well? Are you kidding? he and his family and or any other civic group harmed this office and this immediate supervisors in any way. That's step 1 in accountability for police officers. Legal methods usually don't work at all because of then the courts are aligned in practice and goals with the officers. In other cases they are terrified of the officers. If you have cops like this in your community it is your duty to at least greatly physical harm the police officer and their supervisor. If you don't it just gets worse and worse.

And take it out of their police union pensions not taxpayer money
It’s sick. They know they can ruin the lives of others and face no consequences because of qualified immunity. Anyone that chooses to devote their life to upholding a system that says these actions are ok is a monster. Even if I was one of the few “good” officers I would be disgusted to know this goes on and continue to work with these power hungry psychopaths. And the “good” ones absolutely know this is going on.
*"When you spend your entire life worshipping police officers...*

As of now, the case involving Tayvin Galanakis, the college student who filed a lawsuit against three Iowa police officers and the city of Newton after a DUI arrest in August 2022, has progressed. A federal judge ruled that Officer Nathan Winters violated Galanakis’s constitutional rights by arresting him without probable cause. The judge noted that Galanakis’s speech and movements were inconsistent with someone under the influence of a controlled substance, and his willingness to take a breathalyzer test was remarkable for someone allegedly intoxicated. The case is still ongoing, and further developments are awaited.
@user-en7bb3ce1s
In answer to your question, this is the latest update regarding this case...
I wasn't half as mature as this kid at his age. His parents should be proud at the way he conducted himself. You're raising the bar high in this current day and age.
He really isn't raising the bar for anything. Just because immaturity sells and gains easy attraction, doesn't mean there isn't an abundance of youth out there who can also conduct themselves like this.
You can tell the kid hasn't dealt with traffic stops that often from his handful of documents he got out of the glove box, and he's trying to give an honest answer about his last weed use (it was so long ago he can't answer immediately). He's also an athlete who's used to going until a coach tells him to stop, not to stop himself if he forgets what number of steps to stop at (officer also criticizes him for taking too many steps when turning about when the officer didn't specify in his directions even when directly asked).
Glad this kid is taking the cops to court over this BS arrest.

Dont do the field tests, they are extremely subjective and only serve for the officers to have justification for what they do next.
His lawsuit might not go anywhere because there will be "evidence" in the form of the subjective field test results that "indicate" intoxication.
No one ever passes the field sobriety tests. Even if
you ace the test they will claim you failed. No one post sobriety test results if they have passed. I only watch they blow 0.00 but fail the sobriety test then they get a blood draw & pass that. Then they need to sue
What worries me is that people who are naturally "slow", people with speech impediments, or people who are very calm-mannered can be accused of DUI. It's scary.
I look health, but am very disabled, I often use a wheelchair, but am able to walk. There are so many like me.....
yea well it is what it is... Just because you blow 0 doesnt mean ur not drunk... They can malfucntion and considering the amount of people that die from DUIS i think its reasonable to be extra cautious
Right very true
In the UK we don’t do field sobriety tests, they’ve never been a thing for as long as I’ve been alive and aware of these things and I’m 34.
Police here exclusively use breathalysers, and if you blow zero then you go on your merry way. There’s not a chance they’d try and get you anyway, unless they do a check for drugs also, but I think they ask about medical conditions before they do any of this anyway.
The police here in the UK aren’t perfect, but they’re waaaayyyy better than the US that it’s not even a comparison. I think it’s well known we have one of if not the best police forces in the world. They really are trained well in deescalation, and not only that, if they can let you go, they absolutely will.
If you’re caught underage drinking they’ll just tell you to pour it out and leave you alone after that, they may take you home to your parents but I’ve never seen that before. I’ve seen one person caught with weed, they made him throw it in a pond, didn’t even take his name or anything, they just left. Whereas what I’ve seen in the US is they’ll try to arrest you for absolutely anything and everything. Also here, as long as your crime isn’t that serious like murder and you don’t pose a serious threat, you will get police bail which you don’t have to pay for, you’re just released and given a court date because they can only hold you for 24 hours before charging, and they also only have like 4-10 cells per police station so most people are given police bail. The dangerous ones are remanded to custody in a prison, but that doesn’t happen very often at all.
I think the whole justice system needs an overhaul in america tbh.
@@noname-yy3zy nope it’s not. You shouldn’t be allowed to take away the freedom of somebody on zero evidence. Especially in this case where he’s not drunk.
I saw the original video. At one point, one cop says to the other cop, “I’ve never wanted to throat punch someone so bad”. These rogue cops need to lose their jobs.
I hate the fact I fully believe you without the proof. Not because I think you're a liar, because I think the cops are that bad in general. The moment a cop is called or added to a situation things become more dangerous.
They should be fired and never be allowed to work in that capacity ever again.
Bro
Fired? No, falsely arresting a civilian is the same as kidnapping and they should be sentaced to the determined amount of time in prison plus a minimum of 5 years for being an officer
@@satansnarwhal yea that a whole charge they buggin they aint special end of the day they a glorified Civi
This kid was arrested entirely for simply being perceived as disrespectful to a police officer despite fully complying with all instructions, which unfortunately is one of the most dangerous “crimes” in America.
Traffic is in the civil codes, NOT criminal codes.
I do not have to ID unless a crime is confirmed.
What is going on is, they have alleged he is a corporation and using the public right of way as a place of business and she is profiting monetarily by using the roadway.
I beat tickets all the time by submitting an affidavit to the court that I am a flesh & blood person, and that the entity they have alleged does not exist. The casing used to spell your name is all it takes to claim you are a corporation, not a person. JAMES MADISON, is a corporation. James Madison, is a person.
According to Texas Rules of Civil Procedure (TCRP) Rule 52, Alleging a Corporation:
"Allegations that a corporation is incorporated shall be taken as Truth unless denied by affidavit of the adverse party, his agent or his attorney, whether such corporation is public or private and however created."
Take note of the words "however created" because when those attorneys write your name in all-capital letters on a summons or warrant or notice, you have now been constituted as a corporation. Your name was similarly corrupted when a constructive trust was established as you volunteered into Social Security, making you part of the national socialist democracy and assigning you an employee I.D. number (SSAN).
Legal BS called, CAPITUS DIMENUTIO MAXIMA.
They are that sneaky.
Who is the complainant in this civil dispute? Who is going to take the stand for questioning, when I call the Plaintiff to the stand?
Government CANNOT be the complainant in a civil dispute.
I’m sorry would you like to do a bunch of random sobriety test in the rain? And then after passing a lot of them and the biggest one overall you get the best score you get arrested?
@@AustinFloorguy Back up what you say. Just post _one_ case you won with the BS you just spewed. LOL! Of course, that will never happen. And, why are you getting tickets all the time? You're ridiculous.
Way too many officers try to outdo others by breaking their oath and the law, such as most DUI/OWI arrests. One officer, when finally busted, had 37 illegal cases. Too many LEOs are criminals. EDIT See the picture of the officer holding that little award, _for being a criminal!_
Not sure why the cop didn't charge him with being disrespectful in a public place. The officer would have had an easy conviction in court.
He acted so calm - hope he wins his case.
He laughed when the cop said "no bombs right?" 😂 sounds like a comedy sketch or something
This is a prime example of why people do not trust the majority of officers...kid you did a great job, wish the best.
I hope this haunts him for the rest of his life.
@@cocofellas he didn’t do anything wrong, the cops falsely accused him and despite passing all tests, the officer wanted him to to get in trouble
@Reed Jackson I think he's talking about the officer, not the kid. He hopes this haunts the officer.
@@annalyse_exe no he said on a different comment that “he hopes this kids life is ruined forever”
@@reedjackson6985 Yikes
Effing absurd. Harassment! I’m glad he stuck up for himself. The cops were clearly hoping to enrage him and have him act out for a reason to use violence and he stood patiently and respectfully.
I suspect you're correct. They bait someone until they get them into a process crime like resisting or obstructing.
True. I'm not saying the Dutch police force is a completely clean, trustworthy organisation, but we wouldn't have the time for something like this. He would get a warning or fixed penalty for using brights in a built-up area, and an officer would have just approached him for a roadside breathalyzer 'as we do as a precaution during night-time'. Then he would blow zero and would be on his way again... There's just no way Dutch officers would be put up with all the paperwork for a 'suspect' who's so clearly innocent.
Sad part is that nothing will happen to that cop and he’ll continue to be wrongdoing others as he thinks he has this special powers
he's a beta, he wouldn't do anything, these new gens are the dumbest and the softest.
Yep, and where are all those "if you didn't do anything wrong you got nothing to fear from cops" people at
This cop should be fired and this man should be awarded money for this injustice!
I love the student's demeanor. He seems like a chill guy.
Please not only sue the department but the officers as well. Just plain sickening.
You can't. You can't sue police officers, only the city.
@@leviathandrumming2175 you can sue a police officer as an individual. it’s just not the same thing as the lawsuit against the dept or city. like say excessive force or infliction of emotion destress.
No lol, qualified immunity prevents that.
That's one of the reasons US police are so bad, not just the lack of training, but lack of liability too.
And usually sueing the "Police Department" means you sue the city, aka people pay for the Police department's mistakes...
@@venturoes1912 actually if they are doing something illegal qualified immunity can be, and will be, stripped from them. Qualified immunity is not a get out of jail free card for cops. It has been removed from them many times in court.
@@ahnilatedahnilated7703 As many times as it didn't work, many more times it did, in their favor. So it's unlikely the guy would be able to individually sue the cops, they would probably just claim that he looked intoxicated and that he smelled that way, or some other BS excuse.
“I don’t smoke weed I get tested every Friday”
“Its Saturday”
Cop has no idea how drug testing works thats really awesome 👍
Weed is out of your system in a few days so why would a Friday drug test have any bearing on what someone has in their system Saturday?
@@MikeJones-jh5ihnot even remotely true. A regular user will show in system for weeks.
@@MikeJones-jh5ih 😂 not true buddy
@@MikeJones-jh5ih no tf it ain’t it can stay in your system for up to 2 weeks😂😂😂
You clearly don't know what you're talking about, either have never smoked weed... Or you don't have a job that requires for you to test, which I'd probably a sh*tty job 🤣🤣💔😭
Depending on the drug test used, whether urine, blood, saliva or even hair, Weed can be detectable for up to 90 days atleast!!
I am appalled at the actions of the Newton PD as I am from Jasper Co and that is NOT how that dept is supposed to operate. I sent letters to the Mayor and the chief with my disgust
Obviously you should have asked for a supervisor. At the point that the guy you're talking to isn't doing his job, you ask for a supervisor. Immediately.
It's a rotten world where untrained civilians have to maintain their composure at all times because the trained professionals might lose their cool and ruin their lives.
Precisely why civilians need to be armed, they shouldn't be incapable of self defense especially against the government
Cops are also civilians 😂
@@buschwc you know what he meant, bean counter

A funny ~20 weeks "training" does not make US Cops "trained professionels".
This kid was insanely patient and calm. I would have lost it 2 mins in. That's straight up bullying.
That’s the issue. You HAVE to remain patient and calm since these guys are in a position in power. The only way to get your justice and compensation is to bite your tongue and suck it up until you become in a position of power again. Once he is in custody, he’s back in power as there’s more law enforcement AND he can get a contact of a lawyer or a friend/family member. Now you have the safe space to continue to lose your cool.
Thank god we live in America where actual corrupt cops can still be brought to justice and you don’t suffer a horrific horrible “accident” on a bridge
This is why people hate the cops. Even though there are good guys out there, the profession also attracts power hungry losers who just loves making people abide to their orders even if it’s extremely petty. Usually the same people no one respects out of uniform, hence why they try to make up for it. This bullying is a result of those. Can’t stand people like that.
Here’s something interesting I found:
Shortly after Galanakis (the college kid) filed his suit, the city filed counterclaims alleging he made defamatory statements, inflected emotional distress, invaded the privacy and filed false complaints against Winters and Wing (the police officers).
So the police officer’s feelings were hurt by this video and sued. Lol
@@notboringandsmall *So the police officer’s feelings were hurt by this video and sued. Lol*
Honestly, that motive would be an optimistic best-case scenario.
It's more likely this is a SLAPP lawsuit (i.e., a strategic lawsuit intended to silence/censor someone). The city must know they don't have good odds of winning either lawsuit - but by dragging this out and making it as lengthy and expensive for the poor kid as possible, they're much more likely to convince him to drop it and move on. Iowa is one of those states that doesn't have anti-SLAPP laws.
@@notboringandsmall LOLOLOL fr? Lil police man got his feelies hurt? Bullies in high school: Men tend to go into police force and women tend to go medical field.
good thing we've got bodycams. imagine without them... pain...
I hope all this will be behind you soon. Continue furthering your education and football. Stay cool always as you did that night. 💜
Amount of patience this kid has is remarkable. Keeping his calm while getting falsely accused nonstop by this offer.
Self preservation is a good motivation for patience
well when you know the law and play the game like its chess you should have no problem. he knew he did nothing wrong so why bother getting mad, laugh it off and take the recorded evidence to court.
@@SorrowsPeace Except that they get really mad when you know how to play their game better than they do.
@@illbeyourmonster5752 this is true I have no argument to that.
You paying for my court bills and getting me time off work??
This is how the cops behave despite a rolling camera, and a fully compliant, sober, polite young man. I shudder to think what goes on under other circumstances.
I shudder to think what cops did to people before the proliferation of Smartphones and Social media
They have the power to do whatever they want. Their word is GOD!… if they say you did something and charge you its NOW on you to prove your innocent. If ya got money it a little easier but no money and the system then owns you forever. People need to get involved.
@@unsavedprogress1419 they still do it… didn’t you just watch it? Now he will have to pay a lawyer to fight it. Then if he wins he then has to pay to sue the cops. Takes 5 years or more and costs about $100k maybe more. Then they offer to settle for some small amount.
You know exactly what happens in those, you rarely just see or hear it.
They get shot and die. Freedom, huh?
did you see the size of that cop with the award at end of video
Omg this is frustrating me like i would be so annoyed if they had me doing these tests and im literally sober
I am a retired Police Detective and when I was on patrol my expertise was DUI recognition.
ALL my cases were adjudicated with no issues, even when they went to court. This officer does not know what he's doing and just tossing his authority around. Son, you did the right thing by questioning the officer in a RESPECTFUL and CALM manner. I wish you the very best!
One theory of law enforcement is that it acts as a deterrent for future criminals. Why does it seem to be the case that police officers who undertake these obvious abuses of power so rarely seem to face the consequences of their actions? And is that lack or deterrence why we continue to see endless cases like this one?
The problem is people see this as evidence that ALL cops are like that. Nowadays it would seem the actions of a handful of people from ANY group is evidence enough to attribute characteristics to ALL of them.
@@stephenthomas1492 actually, I don’t think that’s true. It’s the police response to these incidents that sours people’s view of the institution.
@@RoyKoopaling - Unless it's every last police officer's opinion, then it's still an unfair assumption. To be honest, I've never seen a police officers response to these types of encounters either. Other than the OP who's retired law enforcement and condemned his actions.
No, I really believe most people parrot the opinions of others a lot more than they're using any critical thinking or individual thought.
In your expert Police opinion did this person pass all the field sobriety tests?
This kid shows why you DONT resist cops, if you are in the right, which this kid CLEARLY was, you will win. Resisting and disrespecting cops will never help you.
I had the same situation happen to me when I was in the Air Force. Security Forces (Military police) had a DUI checkpoint in front of base dorms at night. Luckily, I called my 1st Sgt and he was present for the FST which they said I failed. They took me to the on base hospital for a blood test. Came back with 0.0 and 1st Sgt said I passed FST. Bad cops try to play all the tricks. Hope the kid gets a big settlement.
"If you've done nothing wrong then just cooperate"
This kid had done nothing wrong, cooperated and still got arrested. Wtf is wrong with these types of police officers?
They can still breathe is whats wrong
It's just part of being one of they poor kids in a small town USA. It doesn't matter if you are innocent. What matters is that one of the rich kids needs a scapegoat or the local cop needs to meet a quota for the week.
That statement is even more true when you are falsely accused and arrested. Going to jail will suck, but the last thing you want to do is incriminate yourself for no reason. Stay calm, stay quiet, and lawyer up!!
This is how police are trained. They're doing exactly as taught.
@@TheDrewcas no they’re not. They were pushing it and were falsely accusing him. Looking for any reason to arrest him or even get him to act out by purposely keeping him out in the cold and asking him to take tests. Absolutely absurd
Just proves that even when you do EVERYTHING right, you can still be arrested for absolutely nothing.
He was high not drunk. We all know, i mean u know if you know. He was on .......

Definitely know how you feel because there was a DUI a cop in Anamosa back in 2013 and he falsely arrested me when I wasn’t under the influence of anything past his field sobriety test and blue for him twice and didn’t blow over and then he proceeded to detain me for 30 minutes take me down to the police station and get me to blow and placed me under arrest
There is something oddly satisfying when someone accuses you of something you didnt do and you literally KNOW they are wrong 😂
Good on him
For cops like these, it's not about justice, law enforcement or even just guilt, it's just about convictions
power trips
Nope, it has nothing to do with convictions. Like @lukatovic-nesic952 said, it's an ego trip.
@@1dash133 au contraire, just like any job these days the scheduled performance reviews are all about numbers.
The higher ups lacking a basic understanding of the intricacies of what you do so they hide behind "metricizing" everything.
So with the cops it just boils down to number of tickets broken down by each type and number of arrests broken down by each type.
Once they pulled him over and he admitted to a defective headlight they knew any court would rule that the stop was justifiable.
From there its just numbers man.
And power.
Common sense isn't common anymore and police all throughout the country do not protect and serve they harass and execute. Police fabricate evidence, unlawfully pull people over to create a situation in where they try to get tickets or arrests to meet a monthly or yearly quotas and if drugs or weapons are there regardless if legal or illegal they get bonuses.
If you think that's false just know it's public information.
This dude had surprisingly mature behavior for a 19 year old. Well done man. 19 year old me would not have handled that as well.

Yep and it threatened the cop..
Cop can't have that cool guy in the same dating pool as him.. wanted to give him a criminal record to discredit his awesomeness.
Lol
19 year old me would’ve ran
Absolutely...I definitely wouldve lost my cool after a bit...this young man handled that situation flawlessly I hope that PD will continue to be under a microscope for a long time
@Jwestside if I’m sober and I’m getting tested for being drunk? That’s the only time you SHOULD run. And you could get away with it.
Typical power tripping cop.
Omg that is so messed up
I'm impressed how this young man handled himself and the situation. A lot of older adults would have handled it much worse.
It sucks when the person without the gun has to be reasonable in this situation.
Without excusing his individual respectfulness and politeness as "natural" or "common decence," I'd like to state many Athlete men and women in College are faced with respect self-checks and responsibilities as apart of being a student athlete. Mr Delasaski as a 19 year old was great and he behaved how his university would want him. Many youtubers present college athlete vlogs, and I see no difference in him recording the situation and shipping it onto his channel. I'm proud that he behave well and he deserves to be able to record it.
For real he got a little snappy but after all that I would have too
@@worldblazin4209 it’s not feelings enforcement. It’s law enforcement. We have free speech in this country.

It shouldn't. This should make you feel good. First because the channel is unbiased and shows both good and bad encounters and second because it proves people CAN behave like human beings even if they are framed. Not like most we see who play victim after breaking the law.
The young man acted in the perfect manner. And he'll have a strong case in court.

He has to be because nowadays cops will shoot first and ask questions second
Bro he said at the beginning of the video that he become extremely confident the second he got arrested because he knew that the case would be thrown out if he blew a 0.0
It's the smartest response to being arrested. You're less likely to be put under more charges or dead for doing so.
Same thing happened to me. Didn't get arrested, but got fined and car impounded. I was completely sober, did all of their 'tests', and then the cop just decided I was high. I feel for this young man. Respect to him for keeping his composure better than I did.
It's because they're not fully trained. The system over there is ridiculous. A few months of training.. BAM. You're now a person with a uniform.
Now all you have to do is get credit from your buddies that you arrested a homeless person for being homeless.
@@zae2193 they're trained to do such things. The system is purposefully violent.
Field sobriety tests can be refused. A chemical test is compelled, but you get to choose which one. Be it breath, blood, or urine and only one is required, not all three. Never submit to a field sobriety test. Those are pass/fail and it is completely up to the cop if you pass or not.
@@zae2193you shouldn’t need to train common sense, even someone without any cop training would know to not go ahead and say they are high even after passing it
