Please keep in mind many of the law enforcement officers that find themselves confronted with these situation may be probes, rookies, relatively new officers, that may not fully understand the process when having to process and deal with one of their own. Compare it too stumbling upon someone breaking into a vehicle and you discover it is a close family member...you may be tempted to stop the act and not report the family member. I young inexperienced officer struggles with the same thing when they realize it is one of their own (family member). The other dilemma is the pressure of making sure that every decision and step taken to process the DUI is done exactly by the book! Otherwise, a good defense attorney will find a glitch and get the DUI completely thrown out!!! Much thought has to go into every minute detail when processing your own family member!

preface for clarity: the final outcome is as it should be. Drunk driving is a matter of life and death, I’m thankful the officers on scene fulfilled their duty. That said, it’s worth noting that all of us in the comment section are compelled to applaud the officer simply for doing his job and applying the law to a fellow officer as it would be to anyone else. This tells us that we all understand the law is not applied evenly, and officers are held to a different standard than the rest of us at times. Despite the positive outcome here, there are several instances of behaviors that would be viewed differently if not for the driver’s status as a Sargent. 3:59 passenger exits, approaches officers and says “are you almost done?” 6:49 driver refuses to exit the car when asked by officer. 15:53 driver exits car and approaches officers asking “what are we doing?” 19:49 driver exits vehicle to urinate on the side of the road. In our world where insufficient deference from some civilians is perceived as threatening, these actions would not be tolerated if it were you or me being pulled over. Again, the final outcome is correct and this isn’t criticism as much as it is observation that points to a truth of our multi-tiered application of the law.

This is why I'm for the body cameras. For straight accountability. This is like the 20th video I've seen where the criminal (police officer - drunk driving, or driving under the influence) tries to use "courtesy" to get out of the stop. It seems like this was "standard procedure" to allow fellow police officers to disregard the law. The camera also just documents the whole encounter, and provides a record for both the suspect and police (for an excessive force complaint or other such scenario). It is win/win for everyone.

[@patricksmith2553]

The real issue is the "accountability" part and it is largely missing nationwide. These types always either get to go to rehab for 30 days or get rehired in a year once their DL is good again and they can be hired. Most States make it difficult to find data on misconduct. The other enormous issue I see that body-camera's will never fix, is the over-use and ABUSE of encryption. You have city cops who make $45,000 a year driving $100,000 cars and carrying $8,000 a piece Motorola APX 8000 "Military grade" encrypted radios. Even dispatched calls are encrypted, and many fire departments have also gone encrypted as well, and they carry the same $8,000 radios and $1200+ a piece body armor/plate carriers now that mass shootings are so prevalent...Fire departments are acting like they need all of this. As a photojournalist who covers an area that is completely encrypted (law enforcement, fire, ambulance) I can tell you this allows them to hide 90% of the crime. Since media can't hear anything that's going on, unless it's a large wildfire and on analog or non-encrypted frequencies. So our county as small as it is has nearly 4 million people, yet our Sheriff's Department is just now getting bodycam's and they have a few KZbin videos, one or two OIS so far captured on body-cam. Yet the much smaller Polk County Sheriff's department in Florida has hundreds or thousands. Sheriff Grady Judd exposes and tells all, so the community is aware of what is actually happening. Now even though are local Sheriff's department is like the second largest in the Nation and our population is much higher. This leads me to believe my Sheriff's department is doing the complete opposite and is doing everything in their power to hide crime. They believe it lowers property values or they just don't want to admit how bad things really are? Any expert in warfare will tell you, you win wars by listening and or watching/surveilling. This is how we were able to capture/kill so many top terrorists and stop many attacks before they occurred. Listening. When the media and community can't hear anything and rarely see's anything, it's almost as if it does not exist, yet we all know it does exist. I can understand law enforcement and fire departments feeling the need and actually I agree law enforcement does have a need for encryption. For example, SWAT, SIU or Narcotics type sensitive activities should be allowed to use encrypted frequencies. A larger fire department like Cal Fire in California have their own law enforcement and I wouldn't have an issue with them using encryption or NOT using body-cams as they investigate arson and deal with C.I.'s or informants. But to encrypt dispatch and regular old medical or fire calls is ridiculous! Plus it's not like we get to see ALL body-cams and they can MUTE or turn them off, so it's better than nothing, but were far from true or full "transparency!" If that little Polk County has that much crime going on, I can't imagine what's being hidden in my major/huge population county.

The drunk driving deputy should be treated with no more respect than the common citizen. He should be held to a higher standard based on the oath he swore to uphold. 🤔

[@earnharvick]

I am absolutely livid at the way he flashed his badge and thought, "This will cover it." His wife was just as bad with her comment about hurrying it up. The fact he is or was law enforcement doesn't make a rat's ass. He has no special privileges than any other person caught drunk behind the wheel. I'm also a little peeved at the FHP officer for his statement of "If I take this traffic stop over...", that seemed a little like , "If you tell me to leave, you can handle it the way you want." Law enforcement must be held to a higher standard of conduct, him driving drunk put the public at risk as much as if he were randomly firing his weapon in public.

[@patricksmith2553]

I'm way, way more livid at Uvalde than you'll ever be. I lost almost all respect for law enforcement, that dark day, recently. That's sort of like the slogan "To Protect and Serve" or whatever crap you see on the side of Police vehicle's. It's just a slogan and the courts have ruled over and over again, law enforcement has NO duty or obligation to do anything. Law enforcement does not have to protect you and they can't be forced to enforce all laws, there is discretion and their is free will, to do good or evil. Look at Uvalde and tell me about some law enforcement slogan or bullshit stickers and T-shirts these pussies wear or place on their big lifted cop trucks. Got punisher and AR-15 sticker's and hats, yet just stand there while little kids get slaughtered down the hallway, begging for help. Meanwhile they are pointing their guns at the ground, each other, checking phones, getting hand-sanitizer and doing FUCKING NOTHING! I was one of the few people who still supported and almost always took the side of the cops, I even used to want to be a cop. Now after watching Uvalde (with audio)....FUCK COPS! Bunch of macho assholes who THINK they are tough. Most cops are either former bullies or were the victims of bullying and so they want power. Either way, it's a toxic workplace and they all either have PTSD, marriage issues, drinking issues, etc., etc. Were all just people. I'm far from perfect and I'll be the first to jump in and help or protect a cop if I saw one in need. In fact I've already done that quite a few times, since I cover breaking news and I'm always around them or even arriving before them. I have nothing but respect for the "real deal" men and women who wear the badge. They are an impressive and inspiring bunch of people and should be looked up to, but man Uvalde...changed my worldview. How could it not? They were arresting the parents and keeping the parents from saving their own kids, and by the way a "barricaded" suspect is like a bank robber or Liquor store robbery that went bad, police showed up while you were still inside and the suspect holds the adult clerk hostage, or whatever. It's not a barricade when a crazy man (wearing body armor and all black) runs into an elementary school with guns a blazing. That is called a massacre or mass shooter and we've been training law enforcement Nationwide since Columbine to end the threat, Violence of Action, once you get a second or preferably 3-4 officers, you make a quick plan and GO IN! Your fat old ass or a 7 year old little girl, whose scared to death. It's so despicable....it makes me so mad. They just fucking stood there, they should've gotten outta the way and let the momma bears tear his ass apart. The kinds of little twerps or weirdo's who shoot up schools are the weakest, bitch ass little skinny kids and they were terrified of him? That little bitch who is so tough he shoots innocent little kids, that is who scares you? All of those bitch ass cops in Texas should turn in their fucking badges! Pussies! You made all of American law enforcement, no scratch that, you made American's look like weaklings to the world.

[@salb8275]

I get what you are saying, but my take on it was….he wanted to go ahead with the fst’s, and was told “no”, he tried to continue with the stop and was told “he is fhp and go easy on her”, then he was told “no” when he asked the officer to come back to his car. At that point anything he knew to do, was trained to do, he was being told “NO”, so maybe he gave up? Clearly they need to have a class on WHAT to do when you pull over a fellow cop, no matter what branch or what rank!!!

[@j9MichiganLions]

I dealt with drunk, rude, and ignorant adults as a bartender for many years, and now I teach 6-year-olds. While teaching young kids presents many various challenges, I have so much more patience for kids than adults (especially the super douche canoe ones), hands down.

[@miketaylor7305]

Hi Jan…glad your not a bartender anymore around all that nonsense…

[@professorvoluck9311]

There should be no officer discretion on these stops. Every law enforcement officer should know the exact consequences for drinking & driving, which should be automatic termination of their job and badge. They know it’s illegal before they get behind the wheel so thinking they are above the law is a dangerous mentality.

[@genesis8284]

Precisely! They know the laws better than anyone else and yet in most cases instead of being punished MORE, they are punished LESS

[@christina5kids16grands]

I cannot STAND the fact that so many of the LEO's being pulled over drunk on the road are treated with kid gloves like they're not a regular person who is DRUNK DRIVING! Man up, do your job, no matter who the hell they are, and with authority! Just like you would if it were ME! 🤮🤬

[@justintime7673]

Most of them are scared for retaliation, it’s nothing but gang mentality in navy blue

[@bigtuna9529]

So if you pulled over a friend or one of your family members you wouldn’t treat them just a tad bit different? Still do your job but with some sympathy or at least empathy? Even if they were also law enforcement & held to a higher standard? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t treat them like any other citizen you pull over.

[@christina5kids16grands]

@@bigtuna9529 No way. In fact, I would be very upset with them for putting me in that position. Do these people not yet realize that us - the whole world - sees this?? BECAUSE of that, I would absolutely treat them the same as anyone else drunk driving, and then, when we can talk privately, show compassion. No way would I treat them differently. And I would expect them as my family to understand why this is absolutely what I have to do when anyone I pull over is over the limit! There would be no empathy - I do not drink and drive so I’d be incapable of having empathy.

[@jw325]

The attitude from the drunk and his female passenger is astounding, he expects the officer to look the other way while acting so arrogant is just amazing. Makes you wonder how many times hes gotten away with it in the past. Well done to the officer for doing the right thing and upholding the law regardless

[@whodatking26]

Good job posting these real world 👍

[@debbie4503]

That Sergeant sure made a point of leaving his badge in plain view for a long time

[@garfield2439]

He wanted to make sure everyone saw it and was duly impressed.

[@marjoriecorcora7617]

It breaks my heart in a way to know that some of the men and women sworn to uphold the law, sometimes think they are above the law. Honestly, of all people who have seen the damages done by DWI, these people really know better. What if he had hit another vehicle with a family inside? No cop wants to arrest another cop, but kudos to those involved for doing what they would have done to any regular Joe. Shame on this officer for drinking and driving. And to his wife, you think because your husband is a LEO that give you the right to hop out and tell the officer to hurry up? Shame on you, too.

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

Lol sometimes? More like most of the time.

[@elias6570]

They all think they’re above the law. It’s part of the job.

[@brothaman1312]

"sometimes"? 😂 Bruh... Damn-near every single one believes they're above the law

[@kindrahayson7024]

Police in my town turn their cherries on to get through a red light. They'll turn them back off once they cross the intersection. Then they will pull into McDonalds drive thru.

[@miketaylor7305]

She needs to go what a horrible woman…

[@sprtplt]

All of these guys are despicable, looking and hinting for any way possible to avoid treating the dui cop the same way they would treat any non-cop. Also, they drag things out as long as possible to try and give the dui cop more time to sober up.

[@ryanjofre]

Ding, ding! They’re running the clock to give him time to sober up.

[@vsbaretummysugastonguetech1540]

Yep. So disgusting. All of them trying to figure out how to get him out of it. Finally doing the right thing, only cuz cameras are running. Took a bunch of cops and over 38 minutes for something that could’ve been done in ten, and by one cop.

[@starlitestarbright514]

Did you see the sheriff that was pulled over and he was trying to get out of a DUI? The arresting officer and his boss both stood on the side of the road for a looooong time and went back and forth but the good guys stuck to doing the right thing. Give these guys a break...we all have a devil and an angel on our shoulders.

[@paulabarrows7023]

I don't see ANY of that here. They were determined to charge him. There are certain procedures that need to be followed. The amount of time is taken into account.

[@terminat1]

So many experts here. When did you folks graduate from the academy?

[@donnamorgan-jt5ts]

How’s the way he displayed his badge,looking from it to the Cop,badge,eyes back up to the Cop…no words required what he expected

[@vickieskridge1220]

Everyone should be treated the same regardless of your title, name, bank account, and the color of your skin!! He's drunk...arrest him! That is simple!!! A drunk law enforcement officer driving should be immediately fired!! No special treatment as we have all seen thousands of times!!!

[@Manu_Lemoine_FR]

Every one serve a seconde chance

[@bozo5569]

Fired and barred from ever holding a position in law enforcement!

[@mcaddicts]

Kind of hard to set that example when the criminal ex president keeps getting off.

[@aarongreenfield9038]

If anything they should be held more accountable, they should know better more than most, being that they are supposed to be the ones enforcing the law, not breaking it. And know the law more than most.

[@stevengallant6363]

@@Manu_Lemoine_FR nope. Not police officers. They claim to be high and mighty better than everyone else.. they voluntarily sign up for this job. If they can't handle it and behave themselves maybe they shouldn't sign up to be a police officer

Wow that's wild love to see the accountability!
