Brit Reacts To WHEN COPS HAVE TO ARREST THEIR BOSSES!

[@richdemanowski2575]

It's quite refreshing to see this, since there are far too many cops in the US who act like the law doesn't apply to them.

[@logankraft8711]

I'll give it to that first guy... While he was visibly upset he didn't try to use his position to avoid the ticket as far as we saw. Maybe he just knew things were on camera and couldn't get out of it, or maybe he was just angry at himself and accepted it. Either way I can grudgingly respect how he handled it.... Unlike some other people who try to weasel out of things despite knowing it's all on camera.

[@Yardiegirl]

You should watch the Ohio cop who was drunk ON THE JOB, and crashed his police car. His coworker showed integrity and patience.

[@scottbmedic]

While working as a Paramedic in Florida I had a lot of law enforcement friends and one was an Assistant Chief who gave a speeding ticket to the Mayor. After that his Assistant Chief position was taken away and he was made a Sargent. However he kept his same pay and he still was the second highest person in rank after the Chief with the same authority he had before and the Mayor lost reelection

[@corinnepmorrison1854]

Looks like the Chief was a bit petty…and immature?

[@lydiaedwards8100]

Those positions are more to them than money. They do a lot and spend years working towards those positions. Their pride and identity gets lost in their jobs.

[@hilarymol6607]

It doesn't matter who you are - everybody is subject to the laws where they live. After that, it's all about money in the U.S. - bail bonds, fines, fees, court costs, lawyers, etc. - and, in cases like this, it could be all about who you know. I'm just glad to see that there are officers willing to swallow the fear that must come with a situation like this, and step up and do the job they signed up to do.

[@heywoodjablowme8120]

Actually it does matter who you are. Celebs and rich people get away with things more so than the little poor man.

[@hilarymol6607]

@@heywoodjablowme8120 Yes, but we see that happen more in court with the rich folks than in traffic stops. I mean, the rich can afford the best lawyers. I don't know about celebs.

[@Tijuanabill]

American police are the least accountable humans who exist, of those who do not own a crown. So yes, it does matter who you are. If you are a cop, you are above the law, unless there is a viral video the public is aware of.

[@hilarymol6607]

@@Tijuanabill FFS. I'm saying that even cops do stupid shit, too. Also, pretty sure that American police aren't the least accountable humans who exist. Want to take a look at some other countries' human rights policies? You might rethink that statement.

He had 3 or 4 beers. They were pitchers of beer, but it was still only 3 or 4.

[@JRush374]

The field sobriety tests are just a way to collect more evidence. There's a bunch of technicalities in the law and the breathalyzer evidence could be thrown out for one reason or another. The field tests can be used as justification to arrest and get a warrant for blood tests, if needed.

[@Maeshalanadae]

Not only job and livelihood, but any kind of such favoritism or corruption reflects on your core person for life. Social reputation hits are a harder consequence than career, actually.

[@lydiaedwards8100]

A week without pay at his position is huge. No matter where he lives, because the pay is relative to the cost of living in the area, a week's pay is 20% of his monthly salary.

[@XRP2020]

"It's not gonna happen to me," thoughts directly before the END or jail

[@timhuffmaster3588]

The NM State Policeman never intended to charge the Mayor. “How much have you had to drink?” 3-4 means 6-8

[@RusShpion]

IDK the answer on the why no breathalyzer. The 4th amendment they mentioned has only been ruled by the supreme court to apply to blood drawing for tests. Breathalyzer tests are not protected under the 4th amendment as far as I understand unless individual states have laws restricting if and when they can be administered. My state allows you to refuse one which may allow you to avoid a DUI, but I believe it automatically means your license will be suspended for 6 months, and they are going to hit you with every other little thing they can get on their dashcam before pulling you over (not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, not using your signal for the last 5 turns, swerving, forgetting that your brights are on, headlights/stoplights out, etc....). All those are fines, but they can pile on and with a 6 month suspension where I am, you are going to be hard pressed to get to work due to bad/no public transit. Just don't do it, and like you said get an uber. I can't believe that chief didn't just walk back from his poker game if it was 4 blocks away. That's insane.

[@Maeshalanadae]

There’s a lot of law enforcement corruption in those southwestern states. Yuma Arizona is one of the worst cartel drop towns in the nation. But New Mexico right there, that’s right across the river from Cuidad Juarez.

[@mellycook]

Oh crap both my Aunts lived in Yuma for the summer 4 yrs and when I was taking care of my mom we contemplated moving down there 2 be close. So glad we didn’t now

[@frankvansanford4426]

To remove a persons drivers license is a very serious action. The field sobriety test is to provide Just Cause to administer a breathalyzer test. Often that’s done back at the station. Time can pass until it’s performed which is often a strategy of those who know that they’re drunk and they’re trying to sober up.

[@Tijuanabill]

No, you are mistaken. The purpose of the field sobriety test, is to convict someone who passed the breathalyzer test. They are voluntary, and any educated driver will refuse them, 100% of the time, and instead opt for the real test. While it is true that some use them to stall and buy time, this is actually quite foolish, and no attorney would advise that course of action. You can only burn one drink per hour, from your system. You can't stall for 6 drinks. You are lucky if you can stall for one to come out of your system.

[@Tijuanabill]

@calebmiller3644 That's my whole point. You are going to the machine either way, so just get right to it, without creating video evidence that hurts your court case. It's not like if you "pass" the field test, the officer is just going to let you go. There is no way to "win" one of those. Once the process starts, you are going to jail, even if you haven't had a drink in a week, as other videos have shown.

[@Bossman-jd3sv]

lucky, in some states if you are going twice the speed limit they usually impound the vehicle til court, if you caught racing they take the car and you are not getting it back. Depending on the officer too.

[@MichaelB769]

15:56 - He could've had three 24-ounce cans of 14% Four Loko beer, which would be the equivalent of 24 beers. lol

[@sharcrum]

And that arresting officer should get a promotion!!!!! The one that arrested the Oklahoma City police chief for Captain whatever he was!

[@brentrice8407]

I once had a friend who was in the police academy. We had our weekly get together. I believe it was the 4th of July and he said he was okay to drive home. Moments later he went out to the field and started throwing up. So we took his car keys and hid them. We had him sleep off his drunken state on the couch at the next door neighbor.

[@heywoodjablowme8120]

Officer Mahoney was always such a joker. Great job Tackleberry!!

[@mysteryelysian]

If police werent arresting their bosses every so often then i wouldnt believe they were doing their jobs ,for the fact that we are human and homo sapiens make mistakes since the beginning.

[@jamesleyda365]

Our amendments are there for a very good reason or reasons

[@eileenegger1466]

One is not required to take a breathalyzer as it’s self-incriminating. An attorney will tell you to refuse for when you go to court they have it in the numbers.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

I think that she should have requested another agency to work this incident. She should have called for a State Trooper or a Deputy Sheriff.

[@lauracoventry780]

Here in Alberta, a police officer can demand a breath test from anyone they pull over lawfully. Even if they did not suspect alcohol impairment. Refusal/failure to give one can result in criminal charges. One example is of a woman who was pulled over in Dec 2021. She was unable to give a breath sample due to her having asthma. Her license was suspended for 3 months, and her car was impounded. Because she lived on an acreage, she had to get her friends and family to drive her around.

[@Tijuanabill]

Only one problem with your story. The constitution prevents searches and seizures, without probable cause of a crime. They might be doing this, but if they are, it's unlawful. Anyone forced to give one, without probable cause, can attach themselves to any cop's pension, who tries to pull that.

[@lauracoventry780]

This happened in Canada, not in the states

[@Tijuanabill]

@@lauracoventry780 I always forget you guys aren't free up there. Pity.

[@Tijuanabill]

@calebmiller3644 Of course a field breathalyzer is evidence. It's presented in every single court case where one was administered. You meant to say it's not enough on it's own. But you are wrong about that too. Corrupt judges, prosecutors and cops are the norm, not the rarity, and actual justice has nothing to do with the process. They throw shit at the wall, and see who wants to make a plea deal. None of these are going to actual trials.

[@jamesigorreilly979]

Field sobriety test, are on camera and breath test can not be used in court . Blood Alcohol draws are done by medical professionals ! And the person that draws blood can witness to your state of impairment . ❤

[@dner75-xh9le]

I agree with you on the field sobriety tests. They're a waste of time. When I has nicked for a DUI about 7 years ago (my only brush with the law, and never again), I told the arresting officer that I'm guilty and just give me the breath analyzer to prove it. He still made me go through the whole dance and pony show though. It's quite ridiculous.

[@LancerX916]

It's to gather evidence for court. It's also done for them to have the legal right to give them the breath test.

[@dner75-xh9le]

@@LancerX916 I get that, bud, and thanks for the clarification; it's just unnecessary in this day and age with BAC tests. Europe doesn't waste their time with this shit, and neither should we. Think about the calls that officers can't go to immediately because they're wasting their time with this bullshit.

[@dner75-xh9le]

@calebmiller3644 You've got that completely backwards. The BAC test is far more admissible than the field sobriety tests are. What an utterly clueless comment.

[@rj-zz8im]

in regards to the first idiot; He should have taken his license and had the car towed, like what would happen to anyone else in a reckless driving situation. I can't respect law enforcement when they feel their integrity must be given regardless of the situation. No, you either have it or you don't. I respect law enforcement a great deal, but they can't bitch about disrespect if they don't have integrity.

Chief put himself and the officer in that situation. If a man does not have self control, he has no business being in charge of others. I cannot drink any alcoholic beverages as it triggers gout so I also have zero sympathy for drunk drivers.
