Arresting people shouldn't be taken as some kind of scoring system where you get more points the more arrests you make. Police officers shouldn't be looking for every excuse and loophole they can think of in order to get more arrests. They are approaching policing completely wrong.
Yeah, very smart choice. Sit in the driver's seat with the break lights on and the keys in the ignition drunk AF and underage. What a brilliant young lady. I don't actually understand how in the world people aren't in favor of the cops on this one. She's underage and drunk, and literally all she has to do is put the car in reverse and start driving. This is standard DUI law pretty much everywhere. "All cops bad herp derp" without paying attention to what's going on sets our cause back, because they think we're just crying wolf during the actual bad interactions.
@@crazzluz1702mostly because we've seen abuses left and right from cops without consequences. So they have become the enemy. Was she driving? No. Fuck that cop, and fuck her word. Plus, let's see her do the roadside monkey dance. That shit is designed to get sober people to fail.
@@crazzluz1702brother, what should she have done? This is still America, she probably has little money and was just trying to be as safe as possible. You saying all she had to do is put it in reverse, is bs because she didn’t do it. Anything can happen, but what did happen was her sitting peacefully when an officer approached her for no reason
it is never protect and serve, that is not their duty as per the constitution. that is a courtesy extended to the public to maintain peace between law enforcement and citizens.
It's absolutely disgusting how they get together and conspire to ruin the life of a person who obviously did the responsible thing and stayed in place to sober up, instead of driving.
Lol this is nothing I had a cop detain me and search me 20 times because he's senile friend told him I'm a bad guy... He would stop and search me every time he saw me. I ended up moving to another city
1) Was honest with the police. 2) Decided not to drive while impaired. 3) Complied with sobriety tests. 4) Was polite and cordial the entire time. Police: "We've got ourselves a hardened criminal here, better arrest her."
Ere on the side of caution. She should have just stayed with the passenger at their house overnight. Whether it was her intent to just sit and chill, FL already determined her guilt while being in the driver's seat and intoxicated.
these cops deserve the worst punishment possible. who knows what else she accuses people off. sir did u rape a child? dude: the fuck man hell no cop: eventually u will. turn around sir. i need to cuff you for raping a kid.
When they lady cop goes to her partner and asks "can we still get 'em for DUI?" she reveals her true intention of looking for any excuse to arrest someone. She's a predator with a badge.
@@joshl6275 No, you don't judge people based on appearance. That's called stereotyping, and it's as bad as racism. Shame on you. Didn't anyone ever teach you what happens when you assume?
Not really. She specifically chose not to drive anywhere. A car is a safe place to go sleep if you don't live there and have nowhere to go. This was a smart, safer, choice.
are you stupid? The original comment agrees what she was doing was safe and smart, what they are saying is that them doing something safe and smart ended up them getting in trouble - so next time they won't sober up but will drive off.... yes you really as stupid as these cops. wow @@OviWanKeno9i

My brother was asleep in his car in the parking lot of a bar. While cops were cruising the parking lot they saw him, woke him, and after talking to him for a few minutes they arrested him for DUI. His lawyer not only got the officers reprimanded, but he also got my brother $60K for false arrest because the car was off, they never actually saw him driving the car, and they didn't offer him a field sobriety test. In our state, if the car is off, the engine is cold, you're asleep, and the car is parked on private property they cannot arrest you for DUI.
i guess it depends on the state because florida clearly that doesnt matter if the car is off or not as lack luster stated. Glad to hear your brother got the W tho

@@pugpug4430 a DUI is not just for driving this is clearly stated on the law books. I don't see where you are misunderstanding or not understanding it. It is also in control of the vehicle.

Has a French person, I am completly stunned by how your country treat citizens by always trying to find a reason to put you in jail or in court for just being a normal person. I don't hate you people of America but I definitely hate your country and his judiciary system. By the way, my country is far from perfect and have so much flaws too, but from my experience never encountered such behaviour from police or other law enforcement Love you guys
If this happened in France, the people would march on the station, like on the bastille. Let's not forget the speed camera protests. Unlike in America where people love to talk sh*t about "the authorities", the French actually DO something.
When I was in your country I think a saw three cops the entire time. Here it’s like you’re constantly being watched. Have to drive like every car is a cop. We have five lane highways and no fast lane. Makes no sense
Same in italy, we have many problems but the police police ain’t one of them. Personally i’ve been let go without fines and with a slap on the wrist three times already (i’m 24) and all three times i was clearly in the wrong and they could’ve fined me
Long story short this isn't a law, for a person intoxicated relaxing in their vehicle on but not going anywhere isn't a dui how I know this happened to a friend of mine few years back. Friend fell asleep with his car on and he was pulled over by cops and out of the blue the officer stated you cannot get a dui while sitting parked in a vehicle whilst its on
@@Inyourhideyhole...in that jurisdiction. I can totally understand why Florida has this law. They are a spring break destination. One of the impacts of being drunk is poor decision making, which could turn "sitting" into "driving" very quickly. The law is the law, and she has already broken several of them: underage drinking, fake ID, etc.
This arrest is a great way to encourage other students to drive on the road for 20 minutes after drinking rather than staying parked while drunk for an hour or more since they get a DUI either way.
At my school they will camp out near the parking lots, and wait for students to leave or return between 1-3am.. I'm I night owl and every night like clockwork I see AT LEAST 2 traffic stop between those times.. Its like they're trying to hit a quota🙃
I once got a ticket for "running a stop sign" (rolling stop, reached 0mph at an empty intersection in broad daylight) The kicker was that he added "reckless driving in unsafe conditions" which is hilarious, because it was a perfectly clear day with absolutely no bad conditions. That part of the ticket was thrown out... but it was the definition of "what ALL can we get this guy with?" - really protecting [the city budget] and serving [tickets].
@@reprovedcandy I got a ticket for running a stop sign. I came to a complete stop but my front wheels were over the white line by a couple inches so he said I technically ran it.
Excellent work cops. You've taught these 2 girls to just go ahead and drive then because if they had they would've been long gone by the time you showed up since you LITERALLY PROVED EITHER WAY YOURE GETTING A DUI. Unbelievable.
That's what I was thinking. I'm 40 years old and this stop tells me to may as well drive off and go home cause I'll be home and safe and not sitting in the car where I could still get arrested.
@@billbombshiggy9254 Absolute facts. you CAN be arrested for a DUI in your own driveway though, my friend has been lol. That's such BS, if you make it all the way home you should be good lol.
Honest? LOL. Why the hell would you have to call an Uber to take you to your car after a party? Her story is to cover up the fact that she drove to the parking lot.
She was also underage, drunk, was using a fake ID and was behind the wheel of a car. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she gets to ignore the law.
I got a DUI sitting on my porch drinking a beer. The people that called in on me didn't show up in court and the case was dismissed because the cops had no proof that I was or had been operating a vehicle. In all it cost me $1,000 dollars and that was a lot of money for me to pay out back in 1985.
“Can you still get ‘em?” What an absolute scumbag. I have a daughter about her age I’d be proud of her if I watched her in this video. Good kid, took an Uber, grabbed a non alcoholic drink and stayed put while feeling the alcohol. Teach them not to speak to the police and remaining silent isn’t dishonesty.

3 times I've been threatened with DUI for NOT driving drunk. 1st. In a sleeping bag, asleep in back of SUV. 2nd. Sleeping in the bed of a pickup truck. 3rd. Walking a bicycle down the sidewalk. Each time I just kept repeating, "I've learned my lesson, I'll just drive drunk next time." If the penalty for driving is the same as not driving, might as well take your chances.

Always invoke 5th, refuse all tests, ask for lawyer. Don't talk... not even to tell them your name. Don't even talk to confirm that you even exist. Your only legal requirement is to produce ID when you are being arrested or pulled over for citation... depending on the laws of your state... but no talking... Say nothing other than to ask if you are free to go or that you invoke your 5th rights or asking for a lawyer. Talking to the police cannot, and I do mean CANNOT help you. "Anything you say can and will be used against you." It makes a Lawyers job easier to fight for you if you say NOTHING!
Got a DUI while asleep. Ignition keys were in my truck box outside of my truck. My lawyer tried like hell. Judge wasn't having it. It's all about money, it sucks for us being responsible as they let dealers and pedo's out night of.
This girl is so conscientious and polite AND she did the right thing. No way did she deserve treatment like this, but sadly, some cops really are jerks.
Thank you officers for ruining a honest 19 year old girl life after making a responsible decision of not driving. I feel a lot safer knowing you guys are keeping us safe. Nice to know our tax money goes to these resources. 🎉👏🐷
The key was in the ignition and the tail lights were on. She was underaged driving. The law is the way it is because there is no way to verify that she wasn't about to drive, so they set the line at being in the driver's seat with the keys, which she was. Now, that said, there are a couple things I would have liked to see the cops check. First, put you hand on the hood to see if it's warm. That checks to see if she has already been driving. Next, ask her if she is willing to show her Uber account info. If she and her friend had already been sitting there a while her claim that they were not planning on driving is a bit better... But here is the thing... a lot of drunk people might sit and wait until they felt safe to drive, but a lot of drunk people would still decide to drive well before they are safe to drive.

Under these laws you could be drinking in the comfort of your own home, forget something in your vehicle, go out to get it with no intention of operating said vehicle and still be at risk of a DUI charge if the cops happened to notice and investigate. It's ridiculous.
I know a cop who was off duty and got hit with this same situation. Outside his own apartment and went outside to his car to smoke. It was a cold night in Colorado so he had the engine running for warmth. He has been drinking inside and got a DUI.
You make a good point. To be completely honest, whilst I don’t condone driving while intoxicated at the illegal blood alcohol level, if she did that after she had to deal with this, I wouldn’t blame her.
Alternatively their Uber could have taken them back to one of their houses and they could have slept it off and collected the car the next day.... Oh wait, they couldn't do that cos despite being 19 they were illegal to drink and would have got reamed by their parents for drinking at a party so they went to a car park instead and technically did a mild crime. Cops were horrendous and it ended in a mess. Wrong all round.
Police officers have discretionary powers to make judgement calls. She (the cop) could've had the girl call an uber, family, or friends to pick her up & leave it at that. But no, she'd rather destroy her life with this overzealous crap. And then they wonder why so many ppl hate them
I’m the only one that doesn’t buy that there was an Uber. I would’ve been calm but upset that I’m getting arrested if I didn’t drive. They were respectful cause they were lying.
Gotta love when a cop literally admits that they are just out to "get" people. This is why answering a cop's questions NEVER helps you out, and only helps them to get you.
Yea the cops decided she was going to jail before she ever got out of the car. By agreeing to the biased tests you do nothing but hurt your attorneys chances to get you out of trouble. Never agree to anything voluntary that will incriminate you.
Lesson the kids have learned: go ahead and drive home so you don’t go to jail... Only a bunch of douchebags would have arrested this girl for DUI. It’s a shame she even gave them the time of day.

This girl is emotionally mature, didn’t crack or cry, stayed mature and respectful, this girl is GOLD, great parents raised this girl. Hope she gets the best in Life, she deserves it!
Yeah. With DUI arrest on her record, she might have hard time getting certain jobs. I had a DUI 25 years ago, and it still follows me. "To serve and protect" my assets. More like "To fill the quota and ruin people's lives"
The cop should have advised the girls to get an Uber, waited for the car, watched the girls to get into the Uber and moved on looking for someone dangerous to the community. The female cop is shameful
The girl states that an Uber is how she got to her vehicle from the house party; so why didn't she have the Uber driver take her home? Intoxicated individuals generally don't make sound/safe decisions. It's honestly 50/50 if she would have "chance'd" it and drove home. I do believe the police had every right to arrest, although maybe a public intoxication charge or calling a friend and waiting would have been more "community oriented". I would much rather someone sober up in a drunk tank than possibly kill/hurt someone else or themselves getting home from a night of drinking.
So the incentive is to drive when you are drunk because you will certainly be charged with DUI if you think you had too much to drink and want to wait in your car until you sober up to be safe. Brilliant, truly brilliant. Years ago, cops would thank you for being responsible and ask you to sleep it off.
Considering that she likely wouldn't have gotten a DUI if she had actually just driven home, these officers are actually making the roads more dangerous by effectively encouraging you to just drive home in this scenario.
This is what I was thinking....police teach people the "wrong" things from their actions....next time, this girl may just drive intoxicated instead... because of this bad interaction. I missed a court date once for a traffic ticket....I called and asked how to fix this mistake I made....they told me to just come in to the police station and I could get a new court date issued.....I showed up and was immediately arrested ...having to post a $200 bond to get out of the jail.....Tried to do the "right thing" and got screwed over....lesson learned....I now never trust police.
I've seen laws like this ruin people's lives. An officer shouldn't even have jurisdiction on private property. Imagine sitting in a car in your own driveway and getting a DUI. She made a great choice to sit there until she was sober but was being punished for it. Now, people may take a chance of driving because the consequences are the same in the eyes of the law. Clown world.
This is what happens when you incentivize policing for profit. Next, they will be taking people off of their porches that are drinking because they have their car keys in their pockets.

@@NicoLas-xy3ew I'd like to believe that's true, but the overwhelming evidence I've seen is to the contrary. Indeed, in this very case, the cop was clearly interested in arresting the student more than anything else. That was her Prime Objective. "Can we still get her for DUI?" she asks. Despite the familiar phrase that used to be be painted on many police cars, cops are not interested in protecting and serving; their only interest is in detaining and arresting. And that's a shame. It is not in society's interests to turn every encounter into an adversarial process. But that's what cops do, and therefore it is the reason why lawyers correctly advise everyone to invoke their 5th amendment rights and refuse to answer any questions. And in suspected DUI situations, to refuse to perform field sobriety tests, which are subjective and unreliable.
THIS is the kind of thing that gets my blood boiling. She made the right choice, we all know that, and yet she was treated as a criminal with a potentially life ruining arrest. This is NOT OK by any standards, and not what law enforcement is supposed to be about.
The moment right after first contact where the female officer goes to talk to her partner and confirm the law empowers her to still charge her with a DUI -- That is the moment this officer knew she was crossing beyond what is morally right and instead just pushing for more numbers to make her career look better.
Yet another video with proof of why you never talk to the police. They had zero evidence they were driving their vehicle and this was a consensual encounter. The police had no info so all those girls had to do was sit there and be quite. Police never have your best interests in mind and just want to throw you in a cage so never, ever talk to them.

That's the new way don't you know! It's a result of them being overstaffed abd seriously I learned this statistically there has been a decrease in serious crime so they spend their time harassing and arresting innocent citizens for petty misdemeanors. Oh abd btw they only resolve 5% of serious crime investigations. Nit an impressive track record. It's become blatantly obvious too b many cops show up to a simple traffic stop
I wouldn't go that far. It was a jack-ass thing to do, for sure but the cop was within legal rights to do as she did. I imagine there must be a course that would benefit her though. Like there are courses for de-escalation for cops that make matters worse, something similar but that applies to what she did. Maybe something that teaches cops to apply the laws in the spirit they were given because this young lady was clearly not an intended target for this law. The real problem, in my opinion is the law. Some sort of proof that the person had driven, or was intending to drive while under influence should also be necessary at the very least.
First mistake was talking to the officer when you're legally parked and not committing a crime. There is no circumstance where an officer can't make it even worse.
I hate how you should it’s somehow in your best interest to not talk to the people that are supposed protect and serve the community. Like you think they would give positive feedback with good communication, fucking ACAB
the problem is you need to give people incentive to do their jobs this applies to every type of work. When they arrest an actual criminal the bonus they earn is deserved it should just be more regulated what arrest gives what reward or a punishment like taking away from salary when these corrupted arrests are made but that will never happen.
17:19 This channel does good work, but on this one, he dropped the ball on the most important part of the video. I don't fault him for not knowing because he is not a police officer. I work in this field, and it is true that we do have discretion on traffic stops but not on felony traffic stops and DUI. If the defendant is going through a DUI investigation and is over .08, you must make the arrest. It sucks that the defendant did not know the law that you can't be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated plus, she told the officer that she had been drinking tonight, which made the officer have to take action (remember she is recording) so if the defendant was let go and did drive, got into a crash, and killed someone or herself then the department could be civilly liable and the officer could be civilly and criminally liable. So I believe the grade should be an A+. The officers did a great job. They explained everything to the defendant and treated both parties with respect. I hope this helps everyone understand a bit more. Great work all in all though ATA
@@dondon-kw5zxCould have just arrested her for underage drinking instead of a DUI… it would still result in the same thing. Like what happens to people who live in their cars do you arrest them for DUI too? (This is a genuine question I’m not trying to take a disrespectful tone or anything)
Total disgrace, punishing a young person for making a decision not to put her and other people’s life in danger. Sadly she’d probably been better off just driving off and heading home.
The CDC publishes numbers on how many miles drunk drivers drive based on the 0.08 threshold and how many accidents or arrests they get involved with. The risk is very low to an individual driver, especially one this close to the threshold who is aware of their impairment. It is almost certain she would have made it home safely had she driven home. Last time I crunched the numbers it was like, she could have driven home every weekend at this level of impairment for 150 years before getting in an accident or being arrested. Sober drivers don't do much better than that. Instead, she conspicuously parked with her lights on in a parking lot for an extended period of time, attracting the attention of the police, and now will suffer these negative consequences. I have a relative who was a cop while I was growing up. I liked to party a lot back then so I asked him, how do you avoid getting arrested? His reply, just don't attract attention to yourself. Do what everyone else is doing. Sober people don't just sit or sleep in their cars in college campus parking lots for extended periods of time in the middle of the night. A sober person would have gotten in their car and driven home. There's definitely an argument to make that this is what she should have done. Yes, I know it's a public safety issue. But in the interest of self-preservation, it would have been her best option.
@@norezenable "Last time I crunched the numbers it was like, she could have driven home every weekend at this level of impairment for 150 years before getting in an accident or being arrested.

Over THAT long a period, I'm pretty sure even a sober driver would be likely to get in an accident. 150 years is a long time to go without making a significant mistake.

@@notjohn439 I did similar analysis for a few years in a row for another country and results were similar. Up to 0.5 promile there were no differences and if I remember correctly, I've got the threshold for 0.8 or something around it and it was actually lower than sober drivers. It went straight up with much higher numbers. Even better is that the number of drivers caught on DUI that did not cause any accident is only fraction of all DUI drivers as those were never caught, it's mainly based on the extrapolation of the average breath alcohol content per driver on random road checks (they can stop you without any reason there, so they often do such tests, check if you DUI and off you go). I was investigating it because in Poland the legal limit is 0.2 and there is some dispute about it. The sobriety field tests from US would not work in Poland as the legal limit is so low, you can't figure out someone is DUI without breath or blood tests. That's why I was following those stats to see if it makes any sense. It does not. Somewhere around 0.5-0.8 is the actual threshold at which drivers start to be less capable but at the same time this is the range in which you are still in very good mental condition and you mainly feel physical affects. This means that most drivers that DUI around the 0.8 limit are perfectly aware that they are not in their best shape and are much more careful, drive slower, make less risky maneuvers and generally drive on much safer routes, usually just home. The common source of confusion is that you could split DUI into at least 3 categories. The worst one are drivers that are completely out of their mind, they are very easy to notice on the road, their incapability is obvious and are dangerous in the traffic. The best one are those, who have fairly low alcohol level and despite driving under influence, they are aware of this and they take it easy to safely get home. According to local law I probably fell under this category numerous times driving around 0.3-0.4. At this point I don't have any physical effects, so I can only rely on knowing that I've been drinking, I would have no trouble passing field tests and yet if I've been drinking even a little, I'm more careful than usual. Just a common sense if you know you may not be in your best shape, even if you don't feel it. The rest are people routinely driving after drinking what's considered legal in US. Those generally have the same accident rates as sober people. It's worth to mention one more thing that is quite important here. Worse drivers are much less likely to drive after drinking, they are often more scared or more aware of their abilities and they simply avoid driving whenever they are not in their best condition. This means that the average driving skill and experience in drivers after alcohol is often higher than the average driver, they have more experience and skill, so they are more willing to drive even if there is some risk of being impaired by alcohol. Up to some level it's fine as their skills and awareness is enough to cover for the alcohol influence, the real problem are those, who simply overestimate their skill either because of their ego or simple stupidity. I don't know if this girl would be fine driving as it all depends on her mental state and skills. She was also tired, it makes things much worse than just an alcohol. Believe me, I did a few trips that were too long and I'm not doing it ever again, it would be safer to get half a bottle of vodka than driving when you start to microsleep.
She was 19, drunk, and in the drivers seat of a motor vehicle, for all the officers knew she just passed out while attempting to drive home, she could’ve just called an Uber again, she said one dropped her off but no she didn’t, she made a bad choice and got in trouble, at any point she could’ve started that vehicle then drove and harmed someone, officers did their job simple as that, hopefully it thought her a lesson, I lost my best friend when an 18 year old drunk driver hit him head on after crossing double yellows, this happened our senior year, we were supposed to start college together, and all that was taken from him, because someone else made a bad decision! These past 5 years haven’t been the same without you brother, rest easy Dominic I hope you saved a spot in the afterlife for me🥲
Good job officer. You sure showed her. How dare she be responsible and catch an Uber ride home, and be 100% honest with said officer when caught behaving, not bothering anybody.
The "can you still get em for?" Says it all. They didnt care about safety or justice they cared about using their power to inflict punishment on this lady.
Fr, the moment she met her the only thoughts goin through her head was "how do i turn this college girl into a victim". She gave this kid a perma criminal record, for nothing.
Its really sad this wasnt an opportunity to build trust with the public. This young lady did all the cooperating a cop could ask for, and they still arrested her.
I mean it's easy. The cop decided she was guilty as soon as they pulled up to her car. Can't get more clear cut than that, the officer is trained in determining who is a criminal, and that girl was a big one!
@@Watchmanadmin I dunno about "a big one" since I felt she had a valid claim that they were just sitting in the car. But I do agree the intent from the start was to arrest her. I understand the cops did nothing wrong here, but still really wish this girl was given a warning instead of a DUI charge that will have major impacts on her life. She seemed to have the type of demeanor and character that could benefit more from a close call/warning, even if it was her intent to drive home that night.
11:40 “This is my house” She could have passed out in her friends house but decided to wait in her car to get sober? Too intoxicated to make decisions it’s a good arrest
@@anonymoush5454 and that's why I made sure at the end of my comment to make it a point that she still may have had the intent to drive home, cause I agree, it was very strange her friend lived there and they didn't go inside. My best guess is that she wasn't allowed to stay overnight in her dorm, and she was planning to drive home. Still doesn't change my view that she could have benefited more from a warning. It's hard to recover in life from some of these charges, and sometimes people need a second chance. If we all were judged so harshly on our mistakes, all of us would have a miserable life.
@@jonathanzimmer6831 not judging a mistake, I’d be prosecuted by god for mine lol. But they showed impairment in their decision making because nobody thinking logically would choose to sober up in their car instead of their friends house. Especially when they’re in the parking lot of her home. And if she’s sobering up, but passed out, she’s not sobering up any time soon. I’d dui them for sure because you never know if they’ll do it again and make the wrong choice to drive next time
@@cardboardboxification she did break the law that most states hold. She could still likely win in court since she was compliant, had clear cognitive ability, was able to voice her objective of not driving, and had no prior offenses.

Well I think the main point is to avoid being in a vehicle at all. However, under the pretense of the situation if you have no other option but to enter your car to stay warm/safe, then you are better off drunk driving home. So I think we need to be realistic about this so people take our point seriously.
Only the poor and workers have this problem , it's targeted and that's called oppression ! Who does bail and fines hurt? Not the rich. Combine that with police only solving 2% of major crime and you're just looking at people stealing from citizens . The bootlicking is shameful ...@@ObamanableSnowman
It's a shity law but it is the law. So many people think I'll sleep it of in my car then wake up and think screw this and just drive h drunk. It's easy to avoid though. You need to "loose your keys" and not sit in the driver's seat if you want to sleep in the car. Or be on private property. And if you have a learner driver driving the full licence holder has to be sober to.
@@RandomRants525 I know a guy that was in the back seat of his car THAT HAD BROKEN DOWN SO IT WAS INOPERABLE and still got a DUI because he decided to drink some beer after the car quit running. Cops force people to keep driving drunk.
Yep! It's because those FREAKING cops have a *QUOTA* for absolutely everything: tickets, citations, fines, arrests. It's policing by numbers and it's got nothing to do with protecting the public. Every cop is compelled to make their quota. It's policing by numbers which is meaningless. When the cop has achieved their quota for the month, does that mean that *CRIME STOPS OCCURRING* ???? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Who invented THAT dumb idea???
@@dhuran21 I like how you're pretending that this is some kind of binary option. What kind of fullblown alcoholic mindset do you have to have that makes you think that you're only options are either drink driving or passing out in your car?
So the moral of the story is it’s better to drive home drunk and improve chances of getting away with it. Excellent work law enforcement. In Maryland you don’t even have to have the car running to get a dui for sitting there.
the legal key, is to not be in the driver's seat. so if drunk and using car to rest sleep be in a passenger seat but most people dont know this, a failure of the education system and government
@@CptMastawell to be fair, uber drivers are random, contracted people who are almost always driving their own vehicles. They have the right to decline service to anyone they want, and a severely drunk person might not be who you want in your car. I think a better example for your point would be that being drunk on public transportation could be public intoxication.
This happened to me when i was young and didn't know my rights. I pulled into some random neighborhood because I had severe stomach pains and was nauseous. I was on my way home from work. I ended up throwing up outside my door, and apparently, somebody called the cops. They showed up. My car was off. They ended up doing a field sobriety test and then arrested me. They towed my car and brought me to the station to do more eye tests. They ended up telling me that I passed all the tests and they let me go with a dead phone, no money, no charger, no car, at 2am in some town 30 mins from where I lived. I thought my phone had battery left, so I figured I'd make a call once I left the station. Unfortunately, it was dead, and once I realized, I tried going back in, and they denied me a call. I ended up sleeping on a bench until stores opened, and a 711 luckily let me make a call. Fortunately, my gf came and picked me up to go to the tow yard. 2 days later, I had an emergency gall bladder removal surgery. That's what the pain and vomiting were from. I had an abcess on my gallbladder.
Look at how respectful this fine young lady was - but yet she was still arrested. Whether you talk to them like crap or are respectful makes very little difference to these sociopaths.
@@WJWeberregardless, the fact that just sitting in your vehicle sleeping can constitute as a DUI is very stupid and needs to be changed. I could understand if the car was on, but it wasn't and was very VERY unnecessary to arrest her for something that minor and stupid.
I was a jury foreman on a case involving the exact same circumstance in Brazos County Texas. The CSPD did an investigation in search of crime identical to this. We unanimously acquitted the accused!!!
When the cop says, "Because they're parked here, we can still get them?" Her entire mindset is get an arrest, not make sure these girls are safe or understand the situation and let them go because they were being responsible.
Man I feel so much safer knowing these wonderful cops are protecting us from a 19 yr old making better choices than people 3x her age. Bet she went home and blew this story way out of proportion.
Yup. It should be "what do we need to do here for public safety". In this case, it was just talk to her about what the law is and why it's important. From her demeanor, she clearly would have listened.
@@Kingbuddah93lol you clown, imagine actually believing that NOT driving a vehicle while intoxicated is a crime. The crime itself has "driving" right in its name
My sister got a charge of “Permitting a DUI” by having her boyfriend at the time drive her car. Fun fact: her boyfriend was breathalyzed on the scene and blew a 0.02…he beat his DUI and she STILL was found guilty of Permitting a DUI when no DUI occurred.
Girl has more common sense than most adults...and you punished her for it. Quality police work. I bet you there's incentive for DUI arrests in that department
@@I.____.....__...__unfortunately you are right. She tried to the right thing and got arrested anyway! Yet cops seem to not understand why they are the most hated people in this country
Constructive possession if the keys are in the ignition or in the car your still in possession of the keys. Therefore the risk of driving while still impaired hours later is there and the govt that's not a risk worth taking its zero tolerance.. had she not have the keys in the car she would have not gotten a dui but got an underage drinking charge or ticket as she was 19 and shouldn't have been drinking.. just because your smart and think your safe doesn't mean you get a pass. Know the laws read them especially of your gonna be drinking had she thrown her keys out the window or put them underneath the car . She wouldn't have gotten the dui.
She is being so polite and sensible… Its absurd that anyone would want to ”get them” for not wanting to drive while intoxicated and just resting in the car because its cold.
Case law itself says, usually, that if you're in the driving seat, you do intend to drive, precedents that are based on actual laws. It's irrelevant with other statements of claims; especially that the law itself says you intend to drive.
She was sitting behind the driver's seat, drunk. Rephrased, she got behind the wheel drunk. Sitting in a car where you drive (the driver's seat) implies the intent to drive the car.
The fact that she made it to 21 with her foot up and she still arrested her anyway, says a lot about the validity of this test. Or this particular officer’s reliance on the test.
I have broken both my feet multiple times from sports. And have had my spinal column fused. I can drive just fine. 10 years of wearing contacts on 24/7 have done a number on my eyeballs, though my vision is miraculously still good. Point is..... i would 100% fail all those tests badly. And seeing as though if you saw me you'd think i was in good shape, you'd have no reason to think why i couldn't pass those tests. Why isn't every patrol car equipped with a breathalyzer? What year is this, that we're still making people touch their nose? Embarassing.
The tests are designed for you to fail them. Because it is based on the officers' judgment. These officers show no compassion for these girls because they don't have to. The law is on their side because of the broad way it is written.
The HGN test is a joke too. It's 75% accurate at best and is effected by everything from the common cold to high blood pressure, allergies, and diabetes.
@@mitchchartrand Breathalyzers on the side of the road are voluntary and unaccepted in court. They are cheap, and not calibrated. Unreliable. They are pretty much a novelty.
This young woman made the correct, ethical and moral decision to not operate/drive her car. She absolutely did not deserve this. This ignorant cop absolutely had discretion to do the right thing, but instead chose to look for any excuse to arrest her. Even a crappy public defender can get this thrown out before a decent judge in 5 minutes. No good deed goes unpunished...
Bro, it's already worse. Cops have been camping at bars waiting for people to Uber home, then they pull the Uber over and get them for public intoxication once they get down the street. There's also some dogshit law in Oklahoma or somewhere that says "public intoxication" is intoxication within plain view of the public which includes views from public roads. So some guy was arrested for public intoxication on his own property because he was visible from the adjacent residential street grilling in his backyard and drinking beer. There's no winning. System's broken, not worth fixing it. Dismantle it and leave it for the crows.
@@Fullsendfilosophy Imagine there is a possibility of getting hit by a car when crossing the road, you're never going to cross the road? We can all play the "what if" game with everything, that's not how the world works. You want to get arrested when walking in a store because someone thinks you might steal something?
Something is wrong with our laws when the punishment for driving blitzed is the same as the punishment for taking an Uber home and choosing not to drive but simply sitting in your car chatting until sobering up. This is insane!
Exactly. The officers should have used common sense. I'm glad I don't live in a country where it seems like the cops get commission for arrests. I do feel for them do to gun control laws but this poor girl did nothing wrong
@@renzou3276 I understand. It just seems like the intent of the written law sometimes gets lost in practice. What some will take from this is that I might as well just risk driving if I’m going to get the same punishment when I try to do the safer option.

At least in this case, the girl was drinking under 21, so she would've gotten in trouble no matter what for her actions. There have been cases where people simply felt drowsy while driving and pulled over to get some rest and were arrested for, um, something or other. 🤷 🤦
@@nickmalone3143 no it's not. They could at any moment attempt to operate while impaired. Then what if she hits and kills someone? There are ways around this law but she chose to sit in the driver's seat probably with keys within reach. Lesson was taught the hard way

Then what if they hit and kill somebody. Your logic doesn’t apply here: the person was fairly Cognizant to realize they shouldn’t drive.
It is there job though. The suspect literally admitted to being drunk and provided every bit of evidence of there own free will. The suspect only has themselves to blame for the outcome. Ideally they learn from the experience in more than one way for there own benefit.
@@juvygenius Even if they saw this coming and decided to wait outside of the car, perhaps sitting on the trunk and just talking for a few hours while they sobered up- The officer would have tried to cite her for public intoxication despite the fact that she wasn't in anyway being a nuissance. Should someone who has left a party that has ended feel the need to hide somewhere safe from view of police officers for fear of being arrested for having consumed alcohol earlier in the night? Yes she was a minor, but the officer was determined to make an arrest based purely on the fact that alcohol had been consumed and the persons age wouldn't have changed anything.
"Emotional damages, distress, assault and battery, unlawful arrest, unlawful detention, fourth amendment violation, fifth amendment violation. YOU WILL STAND DOWN OFFICER OR YOU WILL FACE FELONY CRIMINAL CHARGES."
I actually sat on a jury for a similar case. We found the defendant not guilty, it's BS that a cop would try and arrest somebody for something like this.
Interesting, it's obvious that many cops believe in the adage : "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride" - They just don't care that they're earning the hate...
@@y2ktube I think police are a lot like pit bulls. Because police are ignorant of society's views towards them, they continue to maul innocent people, because they don't know any better. It isn't because they are a bad breed, it's because a handful of them mauled people, and the word never got out to the rest of them to act better, so they just keep mauling people in greater and greater numbers
You can’t blame police for this one. It’s this dumb system of policing for profit why this happened. They hand out arrest quotas for the cops to follow and write these vague laws giving the officers the ability to do this. The people we should be made at are the law makers and the police departments who want the officers arresting as many people as possible. Including a law abiding citizen like this girl.
As a police officer myself, this infuriates me that these officers didn’t explore other avenues prior to resorting to arrest, although they may have had no other choice since I know some law enforcement agencies don’t give their officers very much discretion as to whether they arrest, cite, or educate and release. My department is good enough to allow us significant discretion in this manner, and I always try to avoid arresting someone since that will follow them for the rest of their lives. If I place someone under arrest then you can guarantee that either the victim pressed charges which forces me to make an arrest, or the suspect became aggressive or rude with me, as long as you remain polite, don’t have significant or recent history of offenses, and I have the choice in the matter, I will likely educate you on the law, confiscate any illegal substances or items, then release you with a warning. The fact that you received a warning will go into the computer system, so if you get caught again for the same offense then you will almost certainly be arrested or cited if it was a minor offense. For example misdemeanor drug possession with no history of offense, I’m gonna educate you, give you a list of resources, confiscate the drugs and release you with a warning, but felony drug possession and yes you are going to jail. Also my state is the same as Florida, if you have the car keys, are sitting in the drivers seat, and you are drunk, I could arrest you for DUI, but the way I handle it is as long as you found just sitting in the car like this girl was, and again you have no history of offenses, I would educate you that you could be arrested, then ensure that you get home safely, and release with a warning, but if I catch you actually driving or you have a history of DUI, then yes you are gonna go to jail.
She learned a very valuable, lifelong lesson. Never talk to the police, never trust the police, and never under any circumstances ever admit the truth to the police.
well, under some circumstances you should admit the truth to police. my idiot frat forced me in a car with a blackout drunk "board member" and he crashed and then made me switch seats and lie to police to say I was driving. In that case and that case only, telling the truth was the right option - trust me, that shit ruined my life for a long while.
I have to say it depends. While I wouldn’t trust of cop, I was at a house party the other night and two cops came by for a noise complaint. We live in South FL and the building was smoke free so we were smoking and drinking at 2am in front of the building when those two cops from the noise complaint came back because of another complaint. My cousin, whose home it was, tells us “it’s cool, I’ve already spoke with them.” I’m here low key panicking but happy that my joint had just expired. Him on the other hand chats with the cops for a bit as they say they can’t hear any noise and the woman is making false reports, then he continues his convo with the group and starts hitting his joint right in front of the cops. They didn’t give a fk.
Here you can also get a DUI if you are drunk behind the wheel. Everyone here know that if you are drunk and want to sleep it out in a car, you NEVER get into the drivers seat, sitting in any seat but the drivers seat will be fine.
After you hear "Can we still get her for...?", You know the intent of this cop. What a disgrace
I would have pos but I get your sentiment.
Agreed. There is a big difference in thinking between CAN I arrest her, compared to SHOULD I arrest her. Plus the "get her," this is all so sad.
Exactly! It’s disgusting
Exactly, I was thinking the exact same thing. They were going to do whatever it took to find a reason to arrest her.
Arresting people shouldn't be taken as some kind of scoring system where you get more points the more arrests you make. Police officers shouldn't be looking for every excuse and loophole they can think of in order to get more arrests. They are approaching policing completely wrong.
Great job protecting the community by arresting people who made the smart choice.
That’s why I’m so pissed about this damn case/law. How are you gonna be smart and get arrested
Yeah, very smart choice. Sit in the driver's seat with the break lights on and the keys in the ignition drunk AF and underage. What a brilliant young lady.
I don't actually understand how in the world people aren't in favor of the cops on this one. She's underage and drunk, and literally all she has to do is put the car in reverse and start driving. This is standard DUI law pretty much everywhere. "All cops bad herp derp" without paying attention to what's going on sets our cause back, because they think we're just crying wolf during the actual bad interactions.

Nah it's pretty dumb to sit in the car while you're drunk. You can still.get a DUI 😅
The fact the cop says “can we still get them” shows their central goal isn’t to protect & serve… it’s to get people for whatever they can.
The young lady was so respectful as well considering most people her age these days. These cops are as trash as it gets.
If you poke them enough they’ll tell you they’re going to get you on something haha
it is never protect and serve, that is not their duty as per the constitution. that is a courtesy extended to the public to maintain peace between law enforcement and citizens.
Well yeah... that's why most offenses cost money... Cops exist to make money for the state
If the law enforcement officer didn't know and had to ask it's fair to say that an average citizen cannot be expected to know the laws at this point
It's absolutely disgusting how they get together and conspire to ruin the life of a person who obviously did the responsible thing and stayed in place to sober up, instead of driving.
Lol this is nothing I had a cop detain me and search me 20 times because he's senile friend told him I'm a bad guy...

The key was in the ignition and the tail lights were on. She was underaged driving. The law is the way it is because there is no way to verify that she wasn't about to drive, so they set the line at being in the driver's seat with the keys, which she was.
Now, that said, there are a couple things I would have liked to see the cops check. First, put you hand on the hood to see if it's warm. That checks to see if she has already been driving. Next, ask her if she is willing to show her Uber account info. If she and her friend had already been sitting there a while her claim that they were not planning on driving is a bit better...
But here is the thing... a lot of drunk people might sit and wait until they felt safe to drive, but a lot of drunk people would still decide to drive well before they are safe to drive.

Under these laws you could be drinking in the comfort of your own home, forget something in your vehicle, go out to get it with no intention of operating said vehicle and still be at risk of a DUI charge if the cops happened to notice and investigate. It's ridiculous.
The wording is ambiguous enough that standing on your porch with your keys in your pocket could be argued as intent to operate or some such bullshit.
You could literally be drinking & working under your car with the keys in the ignition to play music and get a dui. 🥴
I know a cop who was off duty and got hit with this same situation. Outside his own apartment and went outside to his car to smoke. It was a cold night in Colorado so he had the engine running for warmth. He has been drinking inside and got a DUI.
These laws of the US lol crazy
It’s Floriduh. 🤷🏻♀️
So, she could’ve saved money on the Uber, actually drove while intoxicated, and had the same result? Wow! Thanks for saving the world officers!
You make a good point. To be completely honest, whilst I don’t condone driving while intoxicated at the illegal blood alcohol level, if she did that after she had to deal with this, I wouldn’t blame her.
Alternatively their Uber could have taken them back to one of their houses and they could have slept it off and collected the car the next day.... Oh wait, they couldn't do that cos despite being 19 they were illegal to drink and would have got reamed by their parents for drinking at a party so they went to a car park instead and technically did a mild crime. Cops were horrendous and it ended in a mess. Wrong all round.
Police officers have discretionary powers to make judgement calls. She (the cop) could've had the girl call an uber, family, or friends to pick her up & leave it at that. But no, she'd rather destroy her life with this overzealous crap.
And then they wonder why so many ppl hate them
I call them domestic terrorists.
I’m the only one that doesn’t buy that there was an Uber. I would’ve been calm but upset that I’m getting arrested if I didn’t drive. They were respectful cause they were lying.
Should be required to be driving. No middle ground.
Gotta love when a cop literally admits that they are just out to "get" people. This is why answering a cop's questions NEVER helps you out, and only helps them to get you.
Yea the cops decided she was going to jail before she ever got out of the car. By agreeing to the biased tests you do nothing but hurt your attorneys chances to get you out of trouble. Never agree to anything voluntary that will incriminate you.

I once knew a guy who used to be a cop and he told me there are two types of people who become cops 1. assholes and 2. people who were picked on or bullied in highschool and want retribution on society.

"To serve and protect" my assets. More like "To fill the quota and ruin people's lives"
Yeah, they just forgot to tell her to keep her mouth shut.
Last I checked, it's a crime for 19 year olds to drink alcohol.
An emotionally mature girl means a submissive girl who doesn't question how unethical the cops are...? And complies unquestioningly? Nah bro.
The cop should have advised the girls to get an Uber, waited for the car, watched the girls to get into the Uber and moved on looking for someone dangerous to the community. The female cop is shameful
The girl states that an Uber is how she got to her vehicle from the house party; so why didn't she have the Uber driver take her home? Intoxicated individuals generally don't make sound/safe decisions. It's honestly 50/50 if she would have "chance'd" it and drove home. I do believe the police had every right to arrest, although maybe a public intoxication charge or calling a friend and waiting would have been more "community oriented". I would much rather someone sober up in a drunk tank than possibly kill/hurt someone else or themselves getting home from a night of drinking.
So arrest people for what they might do? What about leaning on your car while drunk? Or walking by it?
Yeah it s free too , well there is not evidence of her driving. But it s clear enough evidence of cops asking what they can get them for 🤔
Why to risk while looking for someone dangerous when you can just catch anybody for that they just are able to do something illegal.
Training is not designed to help people get to safety.
She sure learned her lesson, better to just drive off under the influence than to try and do the right thing only to be punished for it.
god bless the boys in blue
That’s the lesson I learned when a friend got a DUI for essentially the same thing.
Yep, don’t do the right thing.
No good deed goes unpunished. By cops
So the incentive is to drive when you are drunk because you will certainly be charged with DUI if you think you had too much to drink and want to wait in your car until you sober up to be safe. Brilliant, truly brilliant. Years ago, cops would thank you for being responsible and ask you to sleep it off.
Considering that she likely wouldn't have gotten a DUI if she had actually just driven home, these officers are actually making the roads more dangerous by effectively encouraging you to just drive home in this scenario.
This is what I was thinking....police teach people the "wrong" things from their actions....next time, this girl may just drive intoxicated instead... because of this bad interaction. I missed a court date once for a traffic ticket....I called and asked how to fix this mistake I made....they told me to just come in to the police station and I could get a new court date issued.....I showed up and was immediately arrested ...having to post a $200 bond to get out of the jail.....Tried to do the "right thing" and got screwed over....lesson learned....I now never trust police.

I've seen laws like this ruin people's lives. An officer shouldn't even have jurisdiction on private property. Imagine sitting in a car in your own driveway and getting a DUI.

Indeed, in this very case, the cop was clearly interested in arresting the student more than anything else. That was her Prime Objective. "Can we still get her for DUI?" she asks.
Despite the familiar phrase that used to be be painted on many police cars, cops are not interested in protecting and serving; their only interest is in detaining and arresting.
And that's a shame. It is not in society's interests to turn every encounter into an adversarial process.
But that's what cops do, and therefore it is the reason why lawyers correctly advise everyone to invoke their 5th amendment rights and refuse to answer any questions. And in suspected DUI situations, to refuse to perform field sobriety tests, which are subjective and unreliable.
THIS is the kind of thing that gets my blood boiling. She made the right choice, we all know that, and yet she was treated as a criminal with a potentially life ruining arrest. This is NOT OK by any standards, and not what law enforcement is supposed to be about.
This girl was brought up right and just doing what college kids do. I support her 100%.
The moment right after first contact where the female officer goes to talk to her partner and confirm the law empowers her to still charge her with a DUI -- That is the moment this officer knew she was crossing beyond what is morally right and instead just pushing for more numbers to make her career look better.
Yet another video with proof of why you never talk to the police. They had zero evidence they were driving their vehicle and this was a consensual encounter. The police had no info so all those girls had to do was sit there and be quite. Police never have your best interests in mind and just want to throw you in a cage so never, ever talk to them.

I wouldn't go that far. It was a jack-ass thing to do, for sure but the cop was within legal rights to do as she did. I imagine there must be a course that would benefit her though. Like there are courses for de-escalation for cops that make matters worse, something similar but that applies to what she did. Maybe something that teaches cops to apply the laws in the spirit they were given because this young lady was clearly not an intended target for this law.
The real problem, in my opinion is the law. Some sort of proof that the person had driven, or was intending to drive while under influence should also be necessary at the very least.

When they arrest an actual criminal the bonus they earn is deserved it should just be more regulated what arrest gives what reward or a punishment like taking away from salary when these corrupted arrests are made but that will never happen.
17:19 This channel does good work, but on this one, he dropped the ball on the most important part of the video. I don't fault him for not knowing because he is not a police officer. I work in this field, and it is true that we do have discretion on traffic stops but not on felony traffic stops and DUI. If the defendant is going through a DUI investigation and is over .08, you must make the arrest. It sucks that the defendant did not know the law that you can't be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated plus, she told the officer that she had been drinking tonight, which made the officer have to take action (remember she is recording) so if the defendant was let go and did drive, got into a crash, and killed someone or herself then the department could be civilly liable and the officer could be civilly and criminally liable. So I believe the grade should be an A+. The officers did a great job. They explained everything to the defendant and treated both parties with respect. I hope this helps everyone understand a bit more. Great work all in all though ATA
@@dondon-kw5zxCould have just arrested her for underage drinking instead of a DUI… it would still result in the same thing.
Like what happens to people who live in their cars do you arrest them for DUI too? (This is a genuine question I’m not trying to take a disrespectful tone or anything)
Total disgrace, punishing a young person for making a decision not to put her and other people’s life in danger. Sadly she’d probably been better off just driving off and heading home.
The CDC publishes numbers on how many miles drunk drivers drive based on the 0.08 threshold and how many accidents or arrests they get involved with. The risk is very low to an individual driver, especially one this close to the threshold who is aware of their impairment. It is almost certain she would have made it home safely had she driven home. Last time I crunched the numbers it was like, she could have driven home every weekend at this level of impairment for 150 years before getting in an accident or being arrested. Sober drivers don't do much better than that.
Instead, she conspicuously parked with her lights on in a parking lot for an extended period of time, attracting the attention of the police, and now will suffer these negative consequences.
I have a relative who was a cop while I was growing up. I liked to party a lot back then so I asked him, how do you avoid getting arrested? His reply, just don't attract attention to yourself. Do what everyone else is doing. Sober people don't just sit or sleep in their cars in college campus parking lots for extended periods of time in the middle of the night.
A sober person would have gotten in their car and driven home. There's definitely an argument to make that this is what she should have done.
Yes, I know it's a public safety issue. But in the interest of self-preservation, it would have been her best option.
@@norezenable "Last time I crunched the numbers it was like, she could have driven home every weekend at this level of impairment for 150 years before getting in an accident or being arrested. Sober drivers don't do much better than that." Gonna need to see the math on that one. Over THAT long a period, I'm pretty sure even a sober driver would be likely to get in an accident. 150 years is a long time to go without making a significant mistake.
@@notjohn439 I did similar analysis for a few years in a row for another country and results were similar. Up to 0.5 promile there were no differences and if I remember correctly, I've got the threshold for 0.8 or something around it and it was actually lower than sober drivers. It went straight up with much higher numbers. Even better is that the number of drivers caught on DUI that did not cause any accident is only fraction of all DUI drivers as those were never caught, it's mainly based on the extrapolation of the average breath alcohol content per driver on random road checks (they can stop you without any reason there, so they often do such tests, check if you DUI and off you go). I was investigating it because in Poland the legal limit is 0.2 and there is some dispute about it. The sobriety field tests from US would not work in Poland as the legal limit is so low, you can't figure out someone is DUI without breath or blood tests. That's why I was following those stats to see if it makes any sense. It does not. Somewhere around 0.5-0.8 is the actual threshold at which drivers start to be less capable but at the same time this is the range in which you are still in very good mental condition and you mainly feel physical affects. This means that most drivers that DUI around the 0.8 limit are perfectly aware that they are not in their best shape and are much more careful, drive slower, make less risky maneuvers and generally drive on much safer routes, usually just home.
The common source of confusion is that you could split DUI into at least 3 categories. The worst one are drivers that are completely out of their mind, they are very easy to notice on the road, their incapability is obvious and are dangerous in the traffic. The best one are those, who have fairly low alcohol level and despite driving under influence, they are aware of this and they take it easy to safely get home. According to local law I probably fell under this category numerous times driving around 0.3-0.4. At this point I don't have any physical effects, so I can only rely on knowing that I've been drinking, I would have no trouble passing field tests and yet if I've been drinking even a little, I'm more careful than usual. Just a common sense if you know you may not be in your best shape, even if you don't feel it. The rest are people routinely driving after drinking what's considered legal in US. Those generally have the same accident rates as sober people.
It's worth to mention one more thing that is quite important here. Worse drivers are much less likely to drive after drinking, they are often more scared or more aware of their abilities and they simply avoid driving whenever they are not in their best condition. This means that the average driving skill and experience in drivers after alcohol is often higher than the average driver, they have more experience and skill, so they are more willing to drive even if there is some risk of being impaired by alcohol. Up to some level it's fine as their skills and awareness is enough to cover for the alcohol influence, the real problem are those, who simply overestimate their skill either because of their ego or simple stupidity.
I don't know if this girl would be fine driving as it all depends on her mental state and skills. She was also tired, it makes things much worse than just an alcohol. Believe me, I did a few trips that were too long and I'm not doing it ever again, it would be safer to get half a bottle of vodka than driving when you start to microsleep.
She was 19, drunk, and in the drivers seat of a motor vehicle, for all the officers knew she just passed out while attempting to drive home, she could’ve just called an Uber again, she said one dropped her off but no she didn’t, she made a bad choice and got in trouble, at any point she could’ve started that vehicle then drove and harmed someone, officers did their job simple as that, hopefully it thought her a lesson, I lost my best friend when an 18 year old drunk driver hit him head on after crossing double yellows, this happened our senior year, we were supposed to start college together, and all that was taken from him, because someone else made a bad decision! These past 5 years haven’t been the same without you brother, rest easy Dominic I hope you saved a spot in the afterlife for me🥲

Fr, the moment she met her the only thoughts goin through her head was "how do i turn this college girl into a victim". She gave this kid a perma criminal record, for nothing.
Punishing her was incidental to running up their DUI numbers for rewards and advancement.
Its really sad this wasnt an opportunity to build trust with the public. This young lady did all the cooperating a cop could ask for, and they still arrested her.
I mean it's easy. The cop decided she was guilty as soon as they pulled up to her car. Can't get more clear cut than that, the officer is trained in determining who is a criminal, and that girl was a big one!
@@Watchmanadmin I dunno about "a big one" since I felt she had a valid claim that they were just sitting in the car. But I do agree the intent from the start was to arrest her.
I understand the cops did nothing wrong here, but still really wish this girl was given a warning instead of a DUI charge that will have major impacts on her life. She seemed to have the type of demeanor and character that could benefit more from a close call/warning, even if it was her intent to drive home that night.
11:40 “This is my house” She could have passed out in her friends house but decided to wait in her car to get sober? Too intoxicated to make decisions it’s a good arrest
@@anonymoush5454 and that's why I made sure at the end of my comment to make it a point that she still may have had the intent to drive home, cause I agree, it was very strange her friend lived there and they didn't go inside. My best guess is that she wasn't allowed to stay overnight in her dorm, and she was planning to drive home.
Still doesn't change my view that she could have benefited more from a warning. It's hard to recover in life from some of these charges, and sometimes people need a second chance.
If we all were judged so harshly on our mistakes, all of us would have a miserable life.
@@jonathanzimmer6831 not judging a mistake, I’d be prosecuted by god for mine lol. But they showed impairment in their decision making because nobody thinking logically would choose to sober up in their car instead of their friends house. Especially when they’re in the parking lot of her home. And if she’s sobering up, but passed out, she’s not sobering up any time soon. I’d dui them for sure because you never know if they’ll do it again and make the wrong choice to drive next time
That's bull shit that they can get her for a DUI when she wasn't driving.

Well I think the main point is to avoid being in a vehicle at all. However, under the pretense of the situation if you have no other option but to enter your car to stay warm/safe, then you are better off drunk driving home. So I think we need to be realistic about this so people take our point seriously.

The best way is never to talk to the police.
@@idministertake the keys out and put somewhere
This happened to me when i was young and didn't know my rights. I pulled into some random neighborhood because I had severe stomach pains and was nauseous. I was on my way home from work. I ended up throwing up outside my door, and apparently, somebody called the cops. They showed up. My car was off. They ended up doing a field sobriety test and then arrested me. They towed my car and brought me to the station to do more eye tests. They ended up telling me that I passed all the tests and they let me go with a dead phone, no money, no charger, no car, at 2am in some town 30 mins from where I lived. I thought my phone had battery left, so I figured I'd make a call once I left the station. Unfortunately, it was dead, and once I realized, I tried going back in, and they denied me a call. I ended up sleeping on a bench until stores opened, and a 711 luckily let me make a call. Fortunately, my gf came and picked me up to go to the tow yard. 2 days later, I had an emergency gall bladder removal surgery. That's what the pain and vomiting were from. I had an abcess on my gallbladder.

Interesting, it's obvious that many cops believe in the adage : "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride" - They just don't care that they're earning the hate...
The mentality is to just follow the letter of the law and let the courts sort out the uncertainties.
Nice job with the jury nullification!!
It's the law moron. It has been the law for as far back as I can remember.
@@y2ktube I think police are a lot like pit bulls. Because police are ignorant of society's views towards them, they continue to maul innocent people, because they don't know any better.
It isn't because they are a bad breed, it's because a handful of them mauled people, and the word never got out to the rest of them to act better, so they just keep mauling people in greater and greater numbers
Hard to imagine that this young woman making a choice to not drive while intoxicated was the worst crime happening around the area at the time.
Cops can solve more than one crime at a time.
Yeah she didn't mean to drive cuz she said so right? Not like people lie to avoid trouble or anything
Good point. All this video did was to make the cops look petty.
she was Charged for DUI which she didnt do!@@iamme25yago
@@TheRedHorseman1208 So, guilty until proven innocent? You must love the taste of rubber and leather.
Chose not to drive after drinking ✅
Was honest from the very beginning ✅
Remained respectful and compliant ✅
"Got her" anyway ✅
Wow, cops are cold and so is this channel for giving the cops a B-.
According to laws police did everything right.
Bootlickers will defend it anyway
You can’t blame police for this one. It’s this dumb system of policing for profit why this happened. They hand out arrest quotas for the cops to follow and write these vague laws giving the officers the ability to do this. The people we should be made at are the law makers and the police departments who want the officers arresting as many people as possible. Including a law abiding citizen like this girl.
Only dumb sheep follow laws, I bet some people like nazi Germany was okay because they were follow laws/orders. Sick people in this world.
As a police officer myself, this infuriates me that these officers didn’t explore other avenues prior to resorting to arrest, although they may have had no other choice since I know some law enforcement agencies don’t give their officers very much discretion as to whether they arrest, cite, or educate and release.
My department is good enough to allow us significant discretion in this manner, and I always try to avoid arresting someone since that will follow them for the rest of their lives. If I place someone under arrest then you can guarantee that either the victim pressed charges which forces me to make an arrest, or the suspect became aggressive or rude with me, as long as you remain polite, don’t have significant or recent history of offenses, and I have the choice in the matter, I will likely educate you on the law, confiscate any illegal substances or items, then release you with a warning.
The fact that you received a warning will go into the computer system, so if you get caught again for the same offense then you will almost certainly be arrested or cited if it was a minor offense.
For example misdemeanor drug possession with no history of offense, I’m gonna educate you, give you a list of resources, confiscate the drugs and release you with a warning, but felony drug possession and yes you are going to jail. Also my state is the same as Florida, if you have the car keys, are sitting in the drivers seat, and you are drunk, I could arrest you for DUI, but the way I handle it is as long as you found just sitting in the car like this girl was, and again you have no history of offenses, I would educate you that you could be arrested, then ensure that you get home safely, and release with a warning, but if I catch you actually driving or you have a history of DUI, then yes you are gonna go to jail.
It saddens me that police would attempt to ruin this girl's life when she did what she really thought was right.
She's a druggy though
Officer discretion was not used... sadly... now this young lady has a permanent stain on her record which could affect her future job prospects...
Cmon you should know they do t care about you or your life or anything about you. They the Nazis of the USA
😂😂😂 it was 100% the right thing to do. Just don't put the keys in the ignition.
Yup this arrest is sad and unnecessary.
She learned a very valuable, lifelong lesson. Never talk to the police, never trust the police, and never under any circumstances ever admit the truth to the police.
well, under some circumstances you should admit the truth to police. my idiot frat forced me in a car with a blackout drunk "board member" and he crashed and then made me switch seats and lie to police to say I was driving. In that case and that case only, telling the truth was the right option - trust me, that shit ruined my life for a long while.
Exactly right.
I have to say it depends. While I wouldn’t trust of cop, I was at a house party the other night and two cops came by for a noise complaint. We live in South FL and the building was smoke free so we were smoking and drinking at 2am in front of the building when those two cops from the noise complaint came back because of another complaint. My cousin, whose home it was, tells us “it’s cool, I’ve already spoke with them.” I’m here low key panicking but happy that my joint had just expired. Him on the other hand chats with the cops for a bit as they say they can’t hear any noise and the woman is making false reports, then he continues his convo with the group and starts hitting his joint right in front of the cops. They didn’t give a fk.
Here you can also get a DUI if you are drunk behind the wheel.
Everyone here know that if you are drunk and want to sleep it out in a car, you NEVER get into the drivers seat, sitting in any seat but the drivers seat will be fine.
Oh and if the car is cold and you need to heat it, you are allowed to start it, but never from the drivers seat.
