Little Johnny cuts his knee on some glass, goes to the ER, and it's filed as coof-related to get those numbers up. Many schools have this problem too where they get more money if more kids graduate, so they'd pass kids who don't know what they're doing so their funding isn't reduced. This is why you don't attach monetary incentive to things that affect others' livelihoods. All you get is a den of liars looking forward to that bonus or budget increase.

@Aluzky you have to be kidding. One bad arrests is one too many let Alone 20.

When you give men with marginal intelligence, and low moral character power over other people you wind up with corruption. We want ACCOUNTABILITY. You know what’s lazy?

That should have sealed any 42 USC 1983 lawsuit filed in the District of Colorado for the plaintiff. The officer was clearly on a FISHING expedition, having harassed the motorist, who slowed down and pulled over into an adjacent lane to avoid being tailgated by an impatient driver, and then was "traffic stopped" on the basis of his reaction to being bullied on the road. The officer then goes through a scripted and obviously FALSE "song and dance" about Elias having a "strong odor of alcohol" about him, then, after Elias does as he's lawfully allowed to do, that is, REFUSE the FSTs, immediately ARRESTS him w/o having probable cause. Later, when pressuring Elias to sign the blood draw consent form, the officer tells him he had "reasonable suspicion", which is a standard to INVESTIGATE, but NEVER to ARREST. Clearly, the officer is either poorly trained on evidence, investigation, and arrest procedures and standards, or he simply disregards them, in pursuit of "trophies" and/or promotions. It keeps going downhill once the breathalyzer test is administered, and Elias repeatedly blows "triple zeroes", because THEN the accusation changes to Elias being "under the influence" of an UNSPECIFIED intoxicant, w/o any evaluation by a "drug impairment specialist", to continue the investigation and holding Elias under arrest for DUI. Then Elias is wrongfully badgered into consenting to take the blood test, which he'd ALREADY declined in favor of the breath test, and threatened with the "DUI refusal" even though he'd ALREADY complied with Colorado law and the "implied consent". I hope Elias sues the living shit out of the City of Loveland and that corrupt cop. That was one BULLSHIT DUI arrest.

A judge in my town went down to a Sunoco with the local sheriff bc the Sunoco worker caught the judges secretary shoplifting. The judge had the cops arrest the women and she went to jail for 2 damn months. Took like 3 years for anything to be done about it. Not one cop had anything happen even tho they know they illegally arrested someone and the judge was allowed to retire with his pension and all. A borough cop in my town named Ace winters got drunk one night, broke into a guys house and beat him with a baseball bat in the middle of the night. He thought the guy was fucking his wife. Turns out the cop broke into the wrong house and beat the wrong guy. The cop was allowed to resign and went like 2 counties over where he’s got hired as a cop again. This is just what I know about in my small town. I live in waynesburg PA. People here don’t have the money to fight these tyrants. Everyone here knows the prosecutor and DA are also dirty and are honestly just asshole shitty people for no reason acting like they are better than others. It’s just frustrating. Don’t even get me start on probation and how you’ll have six months of probation and it turns into 5 years like me when I never once committed another crime, passed every drug test and always showed up when told.

@@lostboy2637 I agree. I was a teen in the early 1970s and worked graveyard in convenience stores in the later 70s, and ran into that constantly! I never did any drugs, never even once tried weed, very rare for a teen in the 70s, but I was regularly pulled over and my vehicle illegally searched by crooked cops in Memphis who were looking for drugs. What I still find curious though is that in about two dozen searches, only twice did the subject of the gun in the vehicle ever even come up. One was when I was asked directly if there were any weapons in the vehicle and I said "I work graveyard in a 7-Eleven in the worst part of Memphis! Of course I have a gun in the vehicle!" The 2nd time the crooked cop found it and asked and I gave a similar answer. What I today find curious is that I know the gun was always found, it wan't really hidden. But none of the cops cared, they were looking for drugs. And I wasn't even living in the state! I lived across the state line, and in those days the law in Tennessee ignored the constitution. Carrying without a license, which I couldn't have gotten anyway because of my age address was technically illegal, yet I was never once charged with that. And frankly, at the time, I never expected to be. In my mind I wasn't doing anything wrong or unreasonable. And I was right! But today, looking back on it, I am a bit surprised that the crooked cops with no regard for the constitution never arrested me and only brought up the subject twice.

My father was in a similar situation where he was accused of driving under the influence of alcohol. He blew zeros, and they then insisted he was under the influence of drugs. He was then taken to the hospital and forced to give a sample via catheter and blood was taken. His license was suspended indefinitely, truck impounded, and all cash removed from his person. It took almost 16 months before the courts ever had a record of this arrest. Upon going to court, they had no record of the tests as they were negative and discarded. They then re scheduled another court date and said they found the test results. We showed up and the judge asked the prosecutor why he is being charged with DUI while the tests were all negative? The prosecutor stated that the officer then stated that he knew he was coming off drugs. They then dropped his DUI charge and asked him to plead guilty to to an impeding traffic charge as a means to justify the arrest. The prosecutor demanded the judge find my father guilty of impeding traffic. The judge stood up for what was right and actually tore in to the prosecutor and stated that it was malicious prosecution and that it was the kind of wrongful arrest that costs the government money. All charges were dropped and a lawsuit was filed on my father’s behalf. Unfortunately my father passed before his case was heard.
