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.

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.

[@DigitalTownSquare]

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.

Constructive possession if the keys are in the ignition or in the car your still in possession of the keys.

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.

[@erich6336]

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.

[@norezenable]

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.

[@notjohn439]

@@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!
