Zero accountability and corrupt police unions.

That and we shouldn't skip over the fact an educator has to also work as an exploited "taxi driver" for Uber to make ends meet since teacher pay is shit.

Before any bootlicker says âBut they ask if you have any disabilities or balance issues before you do it!â
First of all, do you have any idea how many people have disabilities, cognitive issues, or conditions that affect their balance that are completely undiagnosed and unknown to them??

âIt doesnât necessarily tell me anythingâ sums it all up perfectly.

So is the officer going to get a better paying job in the next area over then?

"I hurt what they went through" how about you fix the problem then??? WTF? I hope all of them sue and bankrupt that whole department. How did that officer not learn the first time?

ââ3 people, sober, were arrested for a dui, what does that tell youâ
âDoesnât tell me anythingâ. Fucking dick head

If they do sue the department most likely wonât pay, it will be the tax payers. Thatâs why corrupt cops donât care, nothing usually ever happens to them.
If they made the departments pay they might actually feel the consequence of their actions and lack of accountability.

This is why more and more people who like me were pro law enforcement have turned ACAB.

u/wth206 May 24 '24
I think most people in favor of law enforcement like the idea, but have never actually had personal experience with them.
Until you actually need them for help, or they profile you and give you a hard time, you donât realize how much of a pathetic farce the whole thing is.
Most police are incredibly incompetent in America because they require so little training and arenât required to know laws.

Those "field sobriety tests" are literally designed for failure, very few to no ppl can pass all of them. There are hundreds & hundreds of the cases where ppl don't have the resources to fight it and are convinced to take ple deals before the blood work ever comes back. It's a goddamn crying shame they are allowed to absolutely ruin lives with zero repercussions

u/chaotica78 May 25 '24
Not to mention the things they want you to do in the field sobriety tests are not things you would do on a regular basis so it messes with your center of balance and mentality. May as well ask some people to walk a tight rope while performing surgery

Corruption and a causal disregard of citizens rights is what is happening here. That cop shouldn't be anywhere near a job where he has to deal with people. He's rotten to the core.

Apple doesnât fall far from the tree. The whole department lacks intelligence/common sense.

I got arrested one day for a traffic ticket. I think it was to teach the rookie with the senior officer to be a dick. So I went to jail and a magistrate nurse said wtf am I doing there an let me out.

u/Beeristheanswer May 24 '24
Why are these field sobriety tests a thing in the US? We've been able to simply blow into a breathalyzer for several decades pretty much everywhere else, meanwhile in the US it seems to be based on the often biased opinion/feelings of a cop like it's pre-electricity times and facts don't matter?

u/HairlessHoudini May 24 '24
Because if you have anything in your system and I mean anything, something as simple as blood pressure meds they'll get a conviction because the bottle says take care while driving and other warnings. Technically by the letter of the law they could give 99.99% of drivers a DUI and get away with it because of bullshit like that.

u/SweatyGreen9277 May 24 '24
Sorry, why how what the heck is the reason for a bloodtest to take 4??? Or 3 months???? Are the labs in murrica overbooked?
Genuine question. Hell, what a torment to wait for a quarter year before getting (relieving) evidence...
16
u/HairlessHoudini May 24 '24
What's even worse is a lot of ppl this happens too don't have the resources to fight for months & months and are coerced into taking ple deals before the blood ever comes back and if you have so much as blood pressure meds in your system you're fucked and that's another reason they get away with it so much
4
u/SweatyGreen9277 May 24 '24
Ye, that's a disgusting tragedy. I took "introduction to common law (US and GB) " as an extra in uni- we talked about how so many people even plead to being guilty/take a plea deal even if guilty due to police-DA pressure rather than fight the system partially for the reasons you mentioned. It's sad that our 21st century society is in many ways/areas still as backwards and unjust as it was in the european middle ages... horrific

Cops being lazy, tryna fuck is over. You go to a hospital to get blood work, done, could be same day- 3 days or longer depending how extensive the blood test

u/ohyeahsure11 May 24 '24
The police departments would rather spend their money on tactical cosplay equipment than on getting the testing done.

u/EricUtd1878 May 24 '24
Looking at his complexion, I'd say it's the Police chief who needs to be watched for DUI.

They are arrested more often due to focused policing and systemic racism. They don't necessarily commit more crimes.

Any legal experts here: we all know you should never talk to cops and that these FSTs are pseudoscience⌠so what is the best course of action to follow if you are pulled over and investigated for DUI, when you know youâre stone cold sober?
2
u/rvkevin May 24 '24
You aren't required to take the FSTs. Just refuse to consent to those and there is no penalty for refusing them. There are only penalties for refusing a breathalyzer. This doesn't prevent you from being arrested, but it's one less thing the officer can point to to justify an arrest.
3
u/Son_of_Atreus May 24 '24
These dumb fuckers donât use breathalysers? A balance test in 2024? Câmon, this is fucking stupid. Still, ACAB and that little fascist was enjoying seeing regular people suffer for no reason.
2
u/ConscientiousObserv May 24 '24
The breathalyzer is becoming obsolete because they only detect alcohol. Blowing zeros will not "dispel" the cop's belief of impairment.
Saw a kid do just that and the cop just pivoted to marijuana.

May 25 '24
Just remember: if they THINK they have just cause, they're allowed to do it. Zero accountability and zero recourse.

Why don't American police have breathalysers? What kind of backwards ass country.....
2
u/Organic_South8865 May 24 '24
Why? Why does this have to happen constantly? A school teacher with a clean record on his way to work at 6am and they arrest him. I have had a ton of surgeries and I would never be able to pass those ridiculous subjective tests.

u/ttystikk May 24 '24
There was a much bigger scandal about this very same thing in my city. Hundreds of cases had to be thrown out or reversed.

u/Sirrom23 May 25 '24
the police never apologize and take responsibility for anything. when they do, you know they fucked up bad.

I wonder if it has to do with their ability to vote in the elections cause, in some places you can't if you have an open case/ criminal record. It seems systemic the way sober people were getting targeted.

u/Demonweed May 24 '24
In some states you can ask for a blood test and the officer(s) will be obliged to take you to an appropriate facility to preserve a sample for analysis. You might still be obligated to pay for the service, and in some states the law does not require this opportunity to gather evidence in your own defense. Yet it is always an issue that can be raised at trial -- it certainly doesn't make the enforcers look good when they were offered a chance to settle the matter with the best available scientific methods and they rejected that opportunity. Once you've established the narrative that the cops were afraid of what the evidence might show, you have yourself a real trial underway.
2
u/ConscientiousObserv May 24 '24
You can definitely ask for an independent blood test but everyone with a driver license has already consented to the mandatory one.
The "implied consent" statute exists for every state.

u/antrod117 May 24 '24
Clearly the only impaired one here is this officer. Under the influence of stupidity and quotas.

I think this is proof that the sobriety tests they give us are bull shit

u/eight24 May 24 '24
Things Iâve learned from cops:
Never do field sobriety tests. They only build evidence against you. Never help you.
Just refuse the blood/ breath test & automatically lose your license for a year. Donât take the DUI. Itâs cheaper and easier.
2
u/Tclark53 May 24 '24
Just be careful with the second part, depending on what state you live in, declining a breathalyzer is an admission of guilt (NC for example). It can still be fought in court, but if you lose it still counts as a DUI.
