Cop rear ends a person arrest them for DUI...

[smack Down]

At least the police are getting a few extra days vacation. Can anyone name another job where committing multiple felonies on the job and wrecking a car doesn't get you fired.

She is innocent until proven guilty. Anything that has those officers names attached to it has no credibility. Its her word against the corrupt officers.

The article lacks detail. If other officers administered field sobriety tests - or if these officers administered field sobriety tests on camera, if she submitted to breath or blood testing, etc. Nothing is stated.

Good job assuming, though.

Doesn't matter much, even if they have blood test they are still not going to get conviction.

What are they going to do call the lying pigs to testify? Just having the blood test is useless if you can't have the police testify that she was driving.

In the video he mentions he has dashboard video of her in the car, driving.

Slap on the wrist, 10 days without pay, go back to work, forget it.

Of course, they should never be employed as cops again at the absolute minimum. Depending on how damaging their lies are jail time needs to be on the books.

Yep, they will be "on administrative duty" till this blows over then get a slap on the wrist and they will go do what they have always done.


These kind of things and the slap on the wrist they get is why more and more people do not trust the police. When my grandfather was a cop everybody knew him and he was respected. Someone said the cops did something wrong peoople believed the cop first. Now that is becoming more and more the other way around.

Was she drunk though, or was it part of the fake report? Doesn't matter now, there is pretty much no way that she can be charged with anything now this story is out. I imagine the defense attorneys of those 27 other cases that these cops are material witness for are doing jumping jacks. A lot of guilty criminals are going to go back to the street because of these dumbass cops.

and probably a few innocent ones too, which is why the rest will go free.

I hope every single one of them lose their badges and does jail time.

that and I hope the girl gets the charges dropped. I wonder if they did the breathalizer test on her or just said "oh she is drunk, arrest her"

If she is guilty, why should she get off?

No grounds to stop her, so even if they properly administered field sobriety tests, the evidence might get tossed. Probably up to the state.

If an officer is murdered on duty, the person who committed the crime faces higher level of crimes/jail time. We hold these people in higher regard.

If and officer commits a crime on duty, their penalty should have higher levels of crimes/jail time. They are model citizens.

Agree/disagree?

edit: I think the same goes for lawmakers (congress to local mayors) and judges.

No almost about it.

"I don't want to make things up ever, because it's wrong, but if I need to bend it a little bit to protect a cop, I'm gonna," one of the officers can be heard saying. "We'll do a little Walt Disney to protect the cop because it wouldn't have mattered because she is drunk anyway."

blue wall of silence, hasn't changed since the 60's/70's, fuck cops

I don't know. All it sounds like from the video is they were trying to frame the events that caused the accident in the report in the best possible light. The dashcam video of her certainly looks like she is intoxicated. The question is the cat thing for me. Was there really a cat or not. They didn't sound like they were making the cat thing up. In the article her shark never denied the cat story. Regardless of the circumstances of the accident he was following to close. Even describing it in they way they are talking about does not change that just as him being at fault and rearending her car still does not change the apparent fact that she was drunk. If there really was a cat then none of the other officers involved get charged with anything. Even the cat thing can't be proven either way they are still off the hook. The cop that had the accident however is still responsible cat or no cat. My decision: He gets the appropriate citation for following to close and is found 100% responsible for the accident. She gets the appropriate charges and trial for DWI.

It's not an "apparent fact" until it has been proven in court.

In addition, as other posters have written, if the stop was illegal than any evidence discovered from it may be thrown out.

It was an illegal stop, the cops cause for pulling her over was because he hit her, not because he suspected anything. Her charges will be dropped.

This is why all police encounters these days should be recorded as a requirement. If there is no video tape of a stop, it didn't happen. The belief that a cop's testimony is somehow more truthful than the average person's needs to be put to rest once and for all. Without a video tape, or some other verifiable piece of evidence, these cases should simply be thrown out.

Paging Jlee.

Drunk driver should be nailed to the wall and cop for being an unlawful dickhead.

 

[evident]

i really can't find many reasons to like cops after seeing all the stupid shit they pull on the highways during my commute. these stories are just icing on the cake

 

[God Mode]

I bet that even the good cops look the other way when their fellow officers are corrupt.

 

[runzwithsizorz]

In the Ops' post, the story says the girl will be charged with, *4* counts of DUI. Could someone please explain, the other 3, DUI with cat?

 

[alkemyst]

lol more crooked cops.

It could be argued that the stop was illegal, since it was initiated because of the officer's own incompetence. Thus, everything that happened after the illegal stop should be thrown out.

It was not an "illegal stop", there was an accident and the cops had every right to examine the other car and driver after the collision, and anything found pursuant to that is in the course of duty. Now, if there's evidence of cops intentionally bumping bumpers with other cars so they can initiate a search of the other car, that would be illegal. No evidence to suggest that's the case here. And even in cases where the search is unwarranted, the exclusionary rule doesn't automatically apply to every piece of evidence subsequent to an illegal search.

What's unacceptable is the cops conspiring to change the story to protect themselves.
