Great memory to testify about all those things not listed on his citation! The solo cup was just a theatrical ploy to trick jurors into a conclusion not based in fact! Solo cup equals alcohol consumption.
I find it hard to believe that after all the shit that's happened the past few years that any law enforcement agency who deals with the public on a daily basis wouldn't even have a camera inside their cruiser.
You act as though you believe this has something to do with right and wrong. Or, justice, this is about money, power and control and letting the public know the cops can do anything they want to you.
Believe it brother. There are plenty of small town police departments that are hiding behind the excuse of budgeting to prevent cameras being implemented. Even though they buy new cars and tactical shit they have no idea how to use.
They don't want them !!! In my county in N.Y a private corporation made a blanket offer to buy every law enforcement officer within our county body cameras and pay for the services for x amount of yrs . ....... u wouldn't believe the # of law enforcement agencies that came up with excuses in y they wanted to politely decline the offer.... this is after for years now telling the public that they didn't have cameras because they were " expensive " now we have a new set of excuses.... it only underscores the distrust that's been brewing in law enforcement !!!
Nystagmus of the eyes can also be caused by astigmatism, even with corrective lenses the light entering the eye at different angles can cause the eye to "shiver" and move rapidly. It is also common to people with ADHD/ADD.
There is a video of a cop who is explaining details about the field tests and how they recognize the eye test.... and they are even told that based on the angle of the finger (25, 35, 60 angles or else) they may "find out" how much the person may eventually blow... for example if Nystagmus is in the angle 35 or whatever, there is the probability that the person will blow for example 0.3 or whatever. I don't remember exactly. But he does not recommend to people the one-leg stand, because it's not good to test. Maybe you may find the video on youtube. It seems they may confuse even the good cops with such ideas.
@@alaalfa8839 Well Nystagmus isn't a good indicator of intoxication, for the many reasons stated in this video. Fatigue can cause it, specific conditions like ADHD, high blood pressure, migraine, and a host of others can cause it. The angle of the nystagmus doesn't actually indicate anything at all. My nystagmus due to my astigmatism is at an angle equal to the angle of the deformation of my lenses, 39 and 41 degrees respectively. It's an absurd test that can be used to accuse innocent people, especially now with all of the policing for profit happening.
Well, I mean what did you expect? The trooper said none of the officers have body cams and only a few cars have dash cams. The council in charge obviously has more important things to invest in than surveillance for the safety of their officers and citizens.
@@danielseelye6005 This is government for you, nuff said.They spend millions on useless crap but can’t spend a a few thousand on a decent camera system.
Come on, DUI Guy! What was the final outcome? We all watched all of the way through, like you said in the description, and nothing happened at the end. Will you tell us what happened?
It’s always amazing to see an enforcer of the law in its own house lying to its masters face with literal impunity. Do the math on how many times this has happened over the decades. Wow.
And thats even assuming they sst threw that 2 hr seminar. And didnt simple write their name on an attendance sheet & slacked off elsewhere till it was over. Or didnt decide to sleep through it or something.
I love how he goes and does the same course's as the cop's so during cross examination he know's how to catch them out it's actully a very very clever thing to do and a brilliant tactic that 100% helps him win case's .
@@robertbennett2796 Qualified immunity would not protect a cop who perjured himself in court. It only protects a cop who screws up on the streets. (But qualified immunity should be abolished nevertheless.)
@@ubiased23 Not sure he proved the cop was lying. He did prove the cop testified about evidence not listed in his written report, but it could have just been simple idiocy on the stand and sloppiness in the report. He probably did lie, but the cop would have to be put on trial himself and his lying would have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If he testifies "Yeah, I'm just a sloppy idiot with brain fog," it might be enough for reasonable doubt.
He talked about walk and turn on an incline and could have really set the trooper down with a “then why would you perform a *balance* test on an incline?”
Hey DUI guy! Just found your channel. Loving it so far! It's great watching the corrupt officials being held to the same standards that the Average Joe has to! TGFC! I can't imagine how many people have been falsely incarcerated because of the lack of accountability over the years! Instant sub! Thanks for posting! Keep em' comin! 👍🏼
Is that cop even smart enough to realize how dishonest he is presenting himself? Or are they all just smart enough to know it doesn’t matter in this country?
Watched the whole video. Nothing happened to the cop except the judge telling him to have a good day. Might be a good lawyer but 26 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I was expecting more!!
I feel like playing this video on repeat would be great for insomnia... the lawyer's voice while questioning and the trooper's responses along with the background courtroom noise seem like great ASMR. So you have that.
Surprisingly I would think there would be a ring doorbell for cars by now that connects to u and your lawyer less we talk or engage with government while detained the better
By far the most important reason we are watching these videos is to figure out the case outcomes with the jury verdicts. Will you please start including them?
I read the description and it says watch the video until the very end to see what happens to the cop. He got dismissed and went back to work. Yeah I figured that was going to happen after it was over. I was kind of wondering what happened to the client and the verdict. Maybe an update in the description?
@19:46 after the DUI goes through a list of accusations that the blue line guy spews in testimony, THAT ARE NOT IN THE CITATION they pan to the DA. The look and body language of DEFEAT, priceless.
You could have drove this home so much quicker than you did, but you picked up the pace at the perfect time, well done in holding everyone involved accountable.
He is a master of his art and his timing was perfect. After every question he posed to the corrupt cop he would wait for him to answer and then wait some time for the jury to fully absorb the answer before moving on to the next point.. Absolutely brilliant.
Okay, so I watched to the end to see what happened to the cop. Looks like he finished his testimony and was sent home, to "enjoy the rest of your day". I feel cheated by this video. Were there some consequences for this cop or not?
@@tvong81 Nope they get overtime to come to court and spin tales of their prowess deduction skills and show how they can not remember the important evidence he wrote down but have crystal clear memories of all the evidence that he thought was not important enough to write down.
I heard this solicator say before during a case that he was after doing the course that he was questioning the cop about .So he goes and does the courses it's possible for him to do himself so he know's what his talking about during cross examination . Now that's a damn good attorney if u ask me .
I’m a paramedic in a busy service so I write a lot of reports and admit I can get lazy writing some of the less eventful calls . All I need as motivation to get back to writing great accurate reports is watch some of these videos. This lawyer does a great job of using the cops report and lack of understanding his training.
I had a NC state trooper arrest me for DUI. At trial he straight up lied about so many things I was in disbelief. Like in the movies, I was writing on my attorney's legal pad, "He is fn lying!" The trooper said I flipped him off then ran from him after he pulled up next to me. He said I gave him 2 drivers license too! ALL of which were lies. Needless to say my lawyer made him look stupid. The judge found me not guilty. At that time I was waiting to get into the military. Had I been convicted I wouldn't have been able to enlist. Never thought a policeman would try to destroy my life and lie like he did.
I like how he takes his time & breaks things down for the jury to obsorb & understand. He roasted him alive. All these things he says "happened/observed" wasnt seemingly relevant to this officer to include in his report. So he notice a cup in the cup holder with an "unidentified liquid" BUT didnt see that as possibly relivent? Wow hes really on top of things out there
Looking forward to watching this. I had an experience cross-examining a cop for a traffic violation. VERY interesting also! I will comment again later.
You have to look at the state. The laws and the judge having a sip of drank thank God he was not eating possum. Lol. I'm from Tennessee born in WV lived in VA KY and NC. How unprofessional can you get.
Watching DUI Guy slowly, meticulously, and painfully dismantle this guy is a work of art. What a sight to behold. It's like watching the Mona Lisa getting painted.
The DUI Guy: Watch the video all the way through to find out what happens to this cop! JC: Watches it all the way through. Judge: Tells trooper to have a nice day as he steps down. JC to DUI Guy: What happened to the trooper?
I guess video which looks like it’s from 1986 is better then no video at all. After Rittenhouse trial I’m convinced that trials should be shared via video. The tech and ability is there. Any opposition to this common sense approach makes it seem like the courts wants to hide something.
There are many comments below alleging the trooper is lying, perverting justice, etc. I saw none of that. I saw a trooper that had propably been tired during the arrest, simply recounting what happened that night. We saw no, "Ah-HAA!," GOTCHA!" moments...just a tired trooper doing his job, and a savvy lawyer doing his, pointing out little inconsistencies between thr Rule Book and the actual arrest process. I saw no lies exposed, no obvious attempts at coverups...just an encounter between two people on a dark roadside. And then a later dissection of that encounter by a lawyer for the defense. Where da beef?!?
@@lrmgrl it tells me the cops needs to fill out his paperwork more thoroughly and he needs to admit when he's made an error. I worked as quasi-law enforcement (civil law, no arrest powers) and unless my cases were 100% air tight I would always give the subject the benefit of the doubt. I would not even raise a point unless I had it fully documented.
Seems like the DUI Guy, just like the trooper, makes up things for his own benefit. The video, despite watching all the way to the end, doesn't show what happens to the trooper. WTH?
Ok .. I was impressed with the way you presented this case and showed this cop was dishonest and that he said things that were not written down (so they never happened). But I'm curious what the final outcome was of this case.
Opthalmologist? LOL! Any medical graduate knows this stuff. First responders do not. Certainly DUI trained cops do not. LEO are poorly trained in health/medical matters. They are trained to suspect and escalate. Watching even a lawyer struggle with presenting such things (inaccurately) is just so painful. It passes as some valid presentation of the matter. But, I am a doctor watching. When a cop saves someone, it makes the news. We do it every day and it does not make the news. In my experience, most often LEO gets it wrong as a "first responder" and does more harm than good. Intoxication is a medical diagnosis and no cop without a medical license is qualified to diagnose it. None. Further, it is a clinical diagnosis, not diagnosed by a "machine", lab, or piece of equipment. Hey, it just takes 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of med school, USMLE Step 1, 2, and 3, minimum 3 years of residency, and a medical license. Why the problem with getting those credentials to present a valid opinion? Lawyer? 4 years undergrad, 3 years of law, and one exam. LOL! Watching such things debated in this context is like watching 5 year old children debate kickball on a playground.
Unless you want to require jurors to undergo medical training, or any other specialist training upon which and expert might testify or a lawyer might present, we're going to have to go with 5-year-old kickball arguments, lol. Could be worse.
@@Amanda-C. I disagree. Jurors commonly follow expert medical testimony. Cops, even if "trained" on DUI stops, should NEVER be considered experts on intoxication, suspecting intoxication, diagnosing intoxication, etc. Formally, they are technicians, in medical matters basically the level of the guy that sweeps the floors.
@@FernandoChaves I think that I didn't express myself very well. Cops should not be considered medical experts, nor should lawyers. In the end, though, instead of always relying on expert witnesses, in some cases, I think it's better to be giving the jury a crash-course than asking them to blindly trust in an authority on a topic they don't fully understand. (Plus, it's kind of overkill, and a waste of time for the expert.) A crash course was more than sufficient to demonstrate the cop was, at best, exhibiting confirmation bias and insufficient training. Communication is a valuable part of any technical field, much as it hurts experts to see parts of their particular field reduced from a four-course meal to a bargain-aisle fruit cup.
@@FernandoChaves I'm trying to parse what your standard is and I'm only coming up with absurd methods. If they're not experts and tests (even blood draws?) can't tell whether someone is intoxicated then are you wanting a doctor to ride along with every cop, for every cop to have their medical license, or require that a doctor is sitting in every police station waiting around? Are you going to require that the state and the defendant both produce, and pay of course, for a medical expert during every trial? It seems that you are forgetting about the thought and input that medical experts provided lawmakers when BAC limits were implemented. Ultimately it is blood draws or the vastly more accurate breath tests in police stations which determine intoxication, not only roadside testing and inexpert police opinion. While I am no fan of the police and agree with your statement that they exist to suspect and escalate you seem to have a bone to pick and an arrogance to assuage tied to your medical experience.
@@omgsticks9674 Bone to pick? Yup. Definitely. I don't trust cops and think they are too often credited with expertise in a variety of areas where they in fact are not experts. Medicine...law...heck I have seen their testimony actually violate the laws of physics, LOL! In this particular matter I have chosen to speak where I am particularly qualified to do so. Arrogance? No. Do not confuse confidence and competence with arrogance, it is a common error. If a medical opinion or medical diagnosis is the question, then nobody without a medical license should be seen to have a qualified opinion on the matter in an official capacity. I feel you are intentionally obfuscating what I said. Did I disqualify blood tests and breath tests? No. But for some reason you say I did in your second sentence. I said nothing about doctors riding along. I'll be clear: Unless one is qualified to render a medical opinion and/or a diagnosis, one should not do that. Even more to the point, no valid legal proceeding should accept an unqualified opinion. That's it. That's all. I think I am on pretty darn solid ground there. Please don't go on adventures with what I said.
Anyone else notice (5:28) the Freudian slip when the cop responded to the questions? DUI guy: “It must be accurate?” Cop: “Mmhm.” (A mumbled agreement.) DUI guy: “It must be truthful?” Cop: DUI guy: “It must be complete?” Cop: “Mmhm.” That spoke volumes!
Didn't hear any lies. Did hear that the officer recounted some things that he didn't record at the time. Jury is right to consider that information as less reliable, but zero evidence to believe officer is lying. I think that the defense attorney did a good job of making his point but unless there is a strong challenge to the reliability of the intoxilizer in this case, I don't see any real damage to the prosecution's case in this cross.
If he didn't write it down it didn't happen. The mysterious solo cup, for one, would actually be evidence according to the cop - but not recorded or logged into evidence because it didn't exist? Reasonable doubt.
@@Bryan-Hensley I'm not in the business of trying to prove negatives. The onus is on the person making a claim (ie. the cop lied) to prove their point. I did not hear compelling evidence that the cop lied.
For all the advances made in video recording technology for the last three decades, why are most courtroom video and police interrogation footage to this day still looking like something recorded on a 2002 camera phone? Nice takedown BTW, well done!
I have gone through this 3 times and not found an "aha" moment. Can someone that hears that moment please direct me to that point in the timeline. I am not on either side but I cant find a point where everyone says he is lying for sure. I am missing something. Thanks.
Great pace imo. You definitely allowed the jury time to process what you were trying to convey. If it's not written down it didn't happen.

Great memory to testify about all those things not listed on his citation! The solo cup was just a theatrical ploy to trick jurors into a conclusion not based in fact!
Solo cup equals alcohol consumption.
I find it hard to believe that after all the shit that's happened the past few years that any law enforcement agency who deals with the public on a daily basis wouldn't even have a camera inside their cruiser.
You act as though you believe this has something to do with right and wrong. Or, justice, this is about money, power and control and letting the public know the cops can do anything they want to you.
Believe it brother. There are plenty of small town police departments that are hiding behind the excuse of budgeting to prevent cameras being implemented. Even though they buy new cars and tactical shit they have no idea how to use.
They don't want them !!! In my county in N.Y a private corporation made a blanket offer to buy every law enforcement officer within our county body cameras and pay for the services for x amount of yrs . ....... u wouldn't believe the # of law enforcement agencies that came up with excuses in y they wanted to politely decline the offer.... this is after for years now telling the public that they didn't have cameras because they were " expensive " now we have a new set of excuses.... it only underscores the distrust that's been brewing in law enforcement !!!
It is Kentucky lol
but thats the kentucky state patrol, not some small town.......
Nystagmus of the eyes can also be caused by astigmatism, even with corrective lenses the light entering the eye at different angles can cause the eye to "shiver" and move rapidly. It is also common to people with ADHD/ADD.
Yup. I'm a non-drinker and I can force it to trigger. High anxiety can be a trigger, like when a cop is rousting you on a BS charge.
There is a video of a cop who is explaining details about the field tests and how they recognize the eye test.... and they are even told that based on the angle of the finger (25, 35, 60 angles or else) they may "find out" how much the person may eventually blow... for example if Nystagmus is in the angle 35 or whatever, there is the probability that the person will blow for example 0.3 or whatever. I don't remember exactly. But he does not recommend to people the one-leg stand, because it's not good to test. Maybe you may find the video on youtube. It seems they may confuse even the good cops with such ideas.
@@alaalfa8839 Well Nystagmus isn't a good indicator of intoxication, for the many reasons stated in this video. Fatigue can cause it, specific conditions like ADHD, high blood pressure, migraine, and a host of others can cause it. The angle of the nystagmus doesn't actually indicate anything at all. My nystagmus due to my astigmatism is at an angle equal to the angle of the deformation of my lenses, 39 and 41 degrees respectively.
It's an absurd test that can be used to accuse innocent people, especially now with all of the policing for profit happening.
Or just being tired.
And any form of anxiety.
I don't understand how in 2022 they still have this awful of video quality literally anywhere on the planet, much less in an American court system.
Well, I mean what did you expect? The trooper said none of the officers have body cams and only a few cars have dash cams. The council in charge obviously has more important things to invest in than surveillance for the safety of their officers and citizens.
This is Kentucky. Enough said
Looks like an AFV video from 1990
@@danielseelye6005 This is government for you, nuff said.They spend millions on useless crap but can’t spend a a few thousand on a decent camera system.
I honestly thought from the date code showing that it was May 22, 2001. I was listening to the cross for dates to discern when it was taking place...
Come on, DUI Guy! What was the final outcome? We all watched all of the way through, like you said in the description, and nothing happened at the end. Will you tell us what happened?
?
@@MC-hs4mf right
I just sit Though this video, and what the hell is the outcome! This is ridiculous!!
It’s always amazing to see an enforcer of the law in its own house lying to its masters face with literal impunity. Do the math on how many times this has happened over the decades. Wow.
The fact that officers are trained to look for nystagmus is absurd. They get 2 hours a training and are instantly experts.
What's even more insane in the drug recognition officers who think they are better then a blood test to say if someone is on drugs
I’ve watched about 5 hours of video of cops preforming this cop test so I’m world renowned expert now too. Maybe even interstellar.
I hope they are at least trained that a person can have nystagmus naturally.
This is why it is best to refuse all roadside investigatory testing.
And thats even assuming they sst threw that 2 hr seminar. And didnt simple write their name on an attendance sheet & slacked off elsewhere till it was over. Or didnt decide to sleep through it or something.
I love watching The DUI Guy own cops in a court of law.
I love how he goes and does the same course's as the cop's so during cross examination he know's how to catch them out it's actully a very very clever thing to do and a brilliant tactic that 100% helps him win case's .
I learn so much watching your videos. Thanks for taking the extra time to post them.
Brilliant and impactful message to the Jury. You flipped the script with strategy and ease. Excellent presentation, thank you for sharing.
So if the officer lies under oath, what will happen to him? That means he is committing perjury right?
Yep--if it can be proved he deliberately lied.
@Texas Jack I agree with you. So the dui guy just proved that the officer was lying.
Because of that stupid qualified immunity nothing will happen
@@robertbennett2796 Qualified immunity would not protect a cop who perjured himself in court. It only protects a cop who screws up on the streets.
(But qualified immunity should be abolished nevertheless.)
@@ubiased23 Not sure he proved the cop was lying. He did prove the cop testified about evidence not listed in his written report, but it could have just been simple idiocy on the stand and sloppiness in the report. He probably did lie, but the cop would have to be put on trial himself and his lying would have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If he testifies "Yeah, I'm just a sloppy idiot with brain fog," it might be enough for reasonable doubt.
If a lawyer asks you a question, they already know the answer to it.
“That’s how I do all DUIs…” is telling.
ok
All his cases need to be reinvestigated.
He talked about walk and turn on an incline and could have really set the trooper down with a “then why would you perform a *balance* test on an incline?”
Hey DUI guy! Just found your channel. Loving it so far! It's great watching the corrupt officials being held to the same standards that the Average Joe has to! TGFC! I can't imagine how many people have been falsely incarcerated because of the lack of accountability over the years! Instant sub! Thanks for posting! Keep em' comin! 👍🏼
They are not held to any standards. This attorney did a good job, but I did not see or hear that the cop was held accountable for his games.
That county needs to invest in modern cameras for their courtrooms.
"To the best of my knowledge", that says it all.
I love how they filmed this with grandma's camcorder from '83...
Courts don’t want transparency.
😂😂😂
Is that cop even smart enough to realize how dishonest he is presenting himself? Or are they all just smart enough to know it doesn’t matter in this country?
Watched the whole video. Nothing happened to the cop except the judge telling him to have a good day. Might be a good lawyer but 26 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I was expecting more!!
Me too.
I feel like playing this video on repeat would be great for insomnia... the lawyer's voice while questioning and the trooper's responses along with the background courtroom noise seem like great ASMR. So you have that.
I watched it while waiting to dry more clothes. He has a nice voice and RUclips fulfilled its purpose
@Easter Bunny 🐰 Y'know who else helps drunks get off? Ya Mutha!

The fact that our government buildings have cameras in important places that record in 240p kills me😭😭
Surprisingly I would think there would be a ring doorbell for cars by now that connects to u and your lawyer less we talk or engage with government while detained the better

This attorney is awesome! The best questioning I've ever heard an attorney give an officer on a DUI charge. Great great job!
it's pretty basic. do u watch alot of Netflix ?
By far the most important reason we are watching these videos is to figure out the case outcomes with the jury verdicts. Will you please start including them?
I always thought the process of ripping cops apart was the most interesting part?
@@TheDUIGuyPlus we want it all lol. We didnt come to dinner to watch you cook we came to eat as well.
@@TheDUIGuyPlus hearing the verdicts is just as important lmao
Please be like Paul Harvey. Give us the rest of the story.😁
@@TheDUIGuyPlus porque no los dos?
I read the description and it says watch the video until the very end to see what happens to the cop. He got dismissed and went back to work. Yeah I figured that was going to happen after it was over. I was kind of wondering what happened to the client and the verdict. Maybe an update in the description?
Great way to market your firm! Also a great learning tool for citizens.
I get so excited for these man, good work as always
@19:46 after the DUI goes through a list of accusations that the blue line guy spews in testimony, THAT ARE NOT IN THE CITATION they pan to the DA. The look and body language of DEFEAT, priceless.
You could have drove this home so much quicker than you did, but you picked up the pace at the perfect time, well done in holding everyone involved accountable.
He is a master of his art and his timing was perfect. After every question he posed to the corrupt cop he would wait for him to answer and then wait some time for the jury to fully absorb the answer before moving on to the next point.. Absolutely brilliant.
Okay, so I watched to the end to see what happened to the cop. Looks like he finished his testimony and was sent home, to "enjoy the rest of your day". I feel cheated by this video. Were there some consequences for this cop or not?
they get paid time off. which means paid vacation when they do something wrong
@@tvong81 Nope they get overtime to come to court and spin tales of their prowess deduction skills and show how they can not remember the important evidence he wrote down but have crystal clear memories of all the evidence that he thought was not important enough to write down.
No because the prosecution knows they lie so they won't prosecute for perjury
I heard this solicator say before during a case that he was after doing the course that he was questioning the cop about .So he goes and does the courses it's possible for him to do himself so he know's what his talking about during cross examination . Now that's a damn good attorney if u ask me .
I love how the judge is eating and sipping a big gulp.... real professional.
Any cop caught lying or falsifying evidence should be charged with obstruction of justice.
I’m a paramedic in a busy service so I write a lot of reports and admit I can get lazy writing some of the less eventful calls . All I need as motivation to get back to writing great accurate reports is watch some of these videos. This lawyer does a great job of using the cops report and lack of understanding his training.
thx junior
This is the problem with low IQ cops putting lies on police reports and omitting details. They mask reality and mask the truth.
No matter what quality report you write, they will try to discredit it, so just do your best.
I’d love to see the whole video of this case. All direct, all cross and verdict.
So good to see you back!
I had a NC state trooper arrest me for DUI. At trial he straight up lied about so many things I was in disbelief. Like in the movies, I was writing on my attorney's legal pad, "He is fn lying!"
The trooper said I flipped him off then ran from him after he pulled up next to me. He said I gave him 2 drivers license too! ALL of which were lies. Needless to say my lawyer made him look stupid. The judge found me not guilty. At that time I was waiting to get into the military. Had I been convicted I wouldn't have been able to enlist.
Never thought a policeman would try to destroy my life and lie like he did.
Love these longer videos man. Keep up the amazing work!
I like how he takes his time & breaks things down for the jury to obsorb & understand.
He roasted him alive.
All these things he says "happened/observed" wasnt seemingly relevant to this officer to include in his report.
So he notice a cup in the cup holder with an "unidentified liquid" BUT didnt see that as possibly relivent?
Wow hes really on top of things out there
Andin the mean time the judge keeps on stuffin' his chops w/candy....
Lying cop? Isn’t that redundant?
Cant do the walk and turn because its on a hill yet standing on one leg on the same uneven ground is ok....
Any department that doesn't have cameras in 2022 doesn't want them, and I find that very suspicious.
Looking forward to watching this. I had an experience cross-examining a cop for a traffic violation. VERY interesting also! I will comment again later.
The judges look when you said if it's not written down it didn't happen was pure daggers. Brilliant!
ALL Courtrooms, ever: No drinks or chewing gum allowed in court
This Judge: Slurps Java and pops bubbles
You have to look at the state. The laws and the judge having a sip of drank thank God he was not eating possum. Lol. I'm from Tennessee born in WV lived in VA KY and NC. How unprofessional can you get.
Watching DUI Guy slowly, meticulously, and painfully dismantle this guy is a work of art. What a sight to behold. It's like watching the Mona Lisa getting painted.
Sad someone with so much power over others, are required to have so little education.
ok
Great seeing you back in live court!
I’m stunned … no dash cams or body cams with KSP? Is the state that poor or does the state want to allow misconduct by officers to go unchecked?
They dont want evidence against themselves
Both
The DUI Guy: Watch the video all the way through to find out what happens to this cop!
JC: Watches it all the way through.
Judge: Tells trooper to have a nice day as he steps down.
JC to DUI Guy: What happened to the trooper?
Yep. I got suckered into watching it all the way through, too. Thoroughly unsatisfying.
He should get the same punishment any person who lies in court and lose his job for it.
Love when he pauses on a big moment to drink and let it soak in. Ace work.
I guess video which looks like it’s from 1986 is better then no video at all. After Rittenhouse trial I’m convinced that trials should be shared via video. The tech and ability is there. Any opposition to this common sense approach makes it seem like the courts wants to hide something.
Especially after judge krot caught herself out abusing a dying 72 yr old man from cancer as ge couldn't cut his weeds ffs
Larry you are a bulldog in that court room my friend!!! Great cross examination to chop down all of witness lies.
Cops even have a phrase for it...it's called Testilying.
2022 and this is the best cameras these courts have now. It's very 1980
Seems more like 2000s affordable home video cameras, I've seen videos from the 80s with better quality than this lol
Government Officials are too busy lining pockets with Tax Payers money......Not going to up- grade Cameras ....... WE NEED REFORMS ..............bro..
There are many comments below alleging the trooper is lying, perverting justice, etc. I saw none of that. I saw a trooper that had propably been tired during the arrest, simply recounting what happened that night. We saw no, "Ah-HAA!," GOTCHA!" moments...just a tired trooper doing his job, and a savvy lawyer doing his, pointing out little inconsistencies between thr Rule Book and the actual arrest process. I saw no lies exposed, no obvious attempts at coverups...just an encounter between two people on a dark roadside. And then a later dissection of that encounter by a lawyer for the defense. Where da beef?!?
That courthouse needs to update their video system.
They need to invest in cameras for cops & cop cars
Lying rookie will need to take Creative Writing 101 all over again.
so does that trooper get any sort of punishment for lying on the stand? That seems like it should be a career ending move on his part.
Typically no.
u watch too much netflix son
@@hoss-lk4bg who, me? Dammit Dave. Why you gotta be like that?
If he lied he would be punished. So if he wasn't what does that tell you
@@lrmgrl it tells me the cops needs to fill out his paperwork more thoroughly and he needs to admit when he's made an error. I worked as quasi-law enforcement (civil law, no arrest powers) and unless my cases were 100% air tight I would always give the subject the benefit of the doubt. I would not even raise a point unless I had it fully documented.
If a cop doesn't wear his body cam. The court should not believe a word he says
Seems like the DUI Guy, just like the trooper, makes up things for his own benefit. The video, despite watching all the way to the end, doesn't show what happens to the trooper. WTH?
Ok .. I was impressed with the way you presented this case and showed this cop was dishonest and that he said things that were not written down (so they never happened). But I'm curious what the final outcome was of this case.
Opthalmologist? LOL! Any medical graduate knows this stuff. First responders do not. Certainly DUI trained cops do not. LEO are poorly trained in health/medical matters. They are trained to suspect and escalate. Watching even a lawyer struggle with presenting such things (inaccurately) is just so painful. It passes as some valid presentation of the matter. But, I am a doctor watching. When a cop saves someone, it makes the news. We do it every day and it does not make the news. In my experience, most often LEO gets it wrong as a "first responder" and does more harm than good. Intoxication is a medical diagnosis and no cop without a medical license is qualified to diagnose it. None. Further, it is a clinical diagnosis, not diagnosed by a "machine", lab, or piece of equipment. Hey, it just takes 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of med school, USMLE Step 1, 2, and 3, minimum 3 years of residency, and a medical license. Why the problem with getting those credentials to present a valid opinion? Lawyer? 4 years undergrad, 3 years of law, and one exam. LOL! Watching such things debated in this context is like watching 5 year old children debate kickball on a playground.
Unless you want to require jurors to undergo medical training, or any other specialist training upon which and expert might testify or a lawyer might present, we're going to have to go with 5-year-old kickball arguments, lol. Could be worse.
@@Amanda-C. I disagree. Jurors commonly follow expert medical testimony. Cops, even if "trained" on DUI stops, should NEVER be considered experts on intoxication, suspecting intoxication, diagnosing intoxication, etc. Formally, they are technicians, in medical matters basically the level of the guy that sweeps the floors.
@@FernandoChaves I think that I didn't express myself very well. Cops should not be considered medical experts, nor should lawyers. In the end, though, instead of always relying on expert witnesses, in some cases, I think it's better to be giving the jury a crash-course than asking them to blindly trust in an authority on a topic they don't fully understand. (Plus, it's kind of overkill, and a waste of time for the expert.) A crash course was more than sufficient to demonstrate the cop was, at best, exhibiting confirmation bias and insufficient training. Communication is a valuable part of any technical field, much as it hurts experts to see parts of their particular field reduced from a four-course meal to a bargain-aisle fruit cup.
@@FernandoChaves I'm trying to parse what your standard is and I'm only coming up with absurd methods. If they're not experts and tests (even blood draws?) can't tell whether someone is intoxicated then are you wanting a doctor to ride along with every cop, for every cop to have their medical license, or require that a doctor is sitting in every police station waiting around? Are you going to require that the state and the defendant both produce, and pay of course, for a medical expert during every trial? It seems that you are forgetting about the thought and input that medical experts provided lawmakers when BAC limits were implemented. Ultimately it is blood draws or the vastly more accurate breath tests in police stations which determine intoxication, not only roadside testing and inexpert police opinion. While I am no fan of the police and agree with your statement that they exist to suspect and escalate you seem to have a bone to pick and an arrogance to assuage tied to your medical experience.
@@omgsticks9674 Bone to pick? Yup. Definitely. I don't trust cops and think they are too often credited with expertise in a variety of areas where they in fact are not experts. Medicine...law...heck I have seen their testimony actually violate the laws of physics, LOL! In this particular matter I have chosen to speak where I am particularly qualified to do so. Arrogance? No. Do not confuse confidence and competence with arrogance, it is a common error. If a medical opinion or medical diagnosis is the question, then nobody without a medical license should be seen to have a qualified opinion on the matter in an official capacity.
I feel you are intentionally obfuscating what I said. Did I disqualify blood tests and breath tests? No. But for some reason you say I did in your second sentence. I said nothing about doctors riding along. I'll be clear: Unless one is qualified to render a medical opinion and/or a diagnosis, one should not do that. Even more to the point, no valid legal proceeding should accept an unqualified opinion. That's it. That's all. I think I am on pretty darn solid ground there. Please don't go on adventures with what I said.
The scary part of this was that if this was a murder case, the allegedly murderer would get off because of sloppy police work.
Anyone else notice (5:28) the Freudian slip when the cop responded to the questions?
DUI guy: “It must be accurate?”
Cop: “Mmhm.” (A mumbled agreement.)
DUI guy: “It must be truthful?”
Cop:
DUI guy: “It must be complete?”
Cop: “Mmhm.”
That spoke volumes!
Your eyes are constantly shivering. It prevents one area of the retina from being oversaturated.
Didn't hear any lies. Did hear that the officer recounted some things that he didn't record at the time. Jury is right to consider that information as less reliable, but zero evidence to believe officer is lying. I think that the defense attorney did a good job of making his point but unless there is a strong challenge to the reliability of the intoxilizer in this case, I don't see any real damage to the prosecution's case in this cross.
Indeed
If he didn't write it down it didn't happen. The mysterious solo cup, for one, would actually be evidence according to the cop - but not recorded or logged into evidence because it didn't exist? Reasonable doubt.
How do you know you didn't hear any lies? Do you have super lie detector powers?
@@Bryan-Hensley I'm not in the business of trying to prove negatives. The onus is on the person making a claim (ie. the cop lied) to prove their point. I did not hear compelling evidence that the cop lied.
Not too sure the cop was lying but for sure didn't document very well. Looks like reasonable doubt to me.
I watched all the way to the end. What happened to the cop? The judge told him to enjoy the rest of his day. Is part of the video missing?
He collected his paycheck and repeated
I guess that's why the cop doesn't write anything down....got one hell of a memory of his version of the truth.
Watch the video all the way through to find out what happens to this cop!
so what happened to him?
