Dude wasn't kidding, absolutely PULVERIZED
Yeah but I'd really like if he'd put how the case turned out. one of the biggest things I've noticed from watching his videos are Judges side with the prosecution so much, it's ridiculous.
Holy shit though I didn't see the end coming like 1 minute left and he pulverizes him
@@b14ker14 the video turned out exactly how the video ended: mistrial.
@@TheDUIGuyPlus I can't quite make it out, could you explain what exactly triggered the mistrial?
@@Deadmanstrolln A new law in Kentucky, as of April, 2021. Refusal to give blood test is inadmissible at trial. McCarthy v. Commonwealth.
The sad thing is, It costs the police officer nothing to write the ticket, good bad or otherwise but it costs the defendant big time to prove his innocence.
Yep. doesnt cost the cop anything to be wrong. but turns up side down the life of the defendent.
Don't you get it? It's the system. The system has fallen into the hands of evil-doers, and it goes all the way to the top with the Deep State, and the SCOTUS allowing private interest money into the government (Citizens United v the FEC, 2010), which is supposed to be administering the affairs of and in the best interests of We, the People. The police, in 2010, were conscripted. They are no longer community based tasked with to protect and to serve. They are paid federally (90%) and are now a PRIVATIZED, PARAMILITARY security force like Blackwater, TigerSwan, or Ze (private hit squads, and this is going to become more and more apparent with time when the Weelaunee Police Training Facility starts pumping out thousands of state owned police, like the German Schutzstaffel). In other words, they have been bought off by corporate money and now work for the fascists, against us and our civil liberties (which the state governments are changing all of the laws behind our backs) to favor corporations and the rich. The police are being trained that we are the enemy; cockroaches (their word; not mine), and the police, as could be expected, are going to be loyal to whomever is paying them. We are going down.
@@andychandler3992i jus moved to indianapolis n gt my own crib n shit out here moved frm chicago N mannn there a law here where if you gettin falsely arrested you can defend yourself and get away with it crazy shit lol
@@xSlammathat’s nice until a fine officer decides to ignore that law and dispense their own brand of justice on you. They aren’t exactly known for following the laws they enforce
THAT IS WHY WHEN THEY LOSE, THE CIST IF THERE ATTORNEYS SHOULD BE PAID BY COP WHO FALSELY OR STUPIDITY ISSUED THE TICKET WITH AN I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE.
2022 and a police department has no dash cam, body cam, or cameras in their detention facilities? That’s terrifying
Right even now in 2023 there’s still some police departments just now getting body cameras
You absolutely have no idea unless you have been through it or have had family or friends go through it. Even now in 2023 they can turn their cameras of at will when it benefites them. It is still scary as he'll. They can say you resisted for anything they want. IlImaginr being an actual good/honest cop and other police officers lying and doing what they want.
police never lie , its not a born coward domestic terrorist uniform like most people would say who's had to deal with the pigs
Thankfully in NJ it is criminal for the police to turn off or not have cameras on. Some still do it claiming malfunction but that doesn't help them much.
Absolutely unacceptable!!
That attorney went the extra mile for his client. Most won't even bother.
It's true
Correct. Even when a client's constitutional rights have been trampled on by the police, instead of using that to ensure their case is dismissed, they instead tell their client to take a plea deal, because it's faster and easier for them. Not to mention, they're doing less work for the same amount of money (ESPECIALLY, if they're getting paid from the state). Take a plea deal when the chances of him getting completely released is incredibly high???
I'm on disability and was attacked by a psycho new neighbor who was under the influence. Despite the fact that she came into my home and literally broke in my door to get to me, she was NOT arrested and I was arrested because I had the GALL to defend my own life with a small pocket knife. It's perfectly legal and my last option after trying to escape her multiple times (at LEAST 3 different times). I should also note that I have Chronic Kidney Disease and only took the knife out when she started kicking around my kidneys. Despite the fact that I was the person who called 911, the policeman never bothered getting my side of the story. It was only once he arrested me, which he did within 5 seconds of talking to me that he was willing to allow me to make a video statement. But if you've been arrested, you should never, ever make a statement. They don't care about the truth anymore. They only care about gathering evidence against you. Despite the fact that it is perfectly legal to use an object in your defense the Canadian police have chosen to arrest those who use the weapon and not arrest the other person despite them attacking first, so they can try to Increase the chances of the VICTIM getting convicted. I imagine the convictions are not a high number.
In my case, after trying to force multiple plea deals, my charges were dropped one month before trial. I very much wanted to go to trial because I wanted to see the policeman and the prosecution get yelled at by the judge. Anyways, despite my lawyer not pushing any plea deal, I could tell that she wanted me to take one of the last 2 plea deals, but I was not willing to take any play deals whether or not it left me with a criminal record because I did NOTHING WRONG. Despite my charges being dropped, I was kicked out of my home and had to leave my town. I now have end-stage renal failure due to the stress of the attack and the arrest, etc. and I'm now getting dialysis and living in my friend's home.
@@wvrjlsimply. They work for? State, not client
These days I won't even answer the Miranda question. CLAM UP, FOLKS. CLAM UP.
You are right. He sure is a decent guy and he made the profession proud.
Every field sobriety test should be recorded. I have to take the word of what this officer observed? Outrageous.
Recorded and breathalyzer. Field sobriety tests are design to fail and can be interpreted (lied about) by the cop.
Stand on one leg to prove im right to charge you.
The dude literally refused to take the breath test, that right there points to guilt 😂
@@hammerlane3871for all you know the cop lied about that too because mr fernandez had trouble speaking english but wanted to. Conveniently no cameras in that area too with no one else he has to talk to.
I bet the officer wasn't this soft-spoken during the arrest.
Oh absolutely not. Their favorite part of the job is to "show us who's the boss".
Especially without cameras on
he seems chill other than arresting for something the dude didnt do. should have breathalyzed him or called another on duty that has one
Being in front of a judge has that effect lol
What a LITTLE voice. Well, i don't blame him, he is displaying his qualifications, and they are embarrassingly non existent. Typical of the entire system.
I guarantee I would fail a field sobriety test while completely sober.
Expecally if you have any physical issues.. standing on one leg with vehicles whipping by ect ect ect..
So would I. I had unsuccessful lumbar spine surgery and I have several other physical issues. Unless you have fairly strong core muscles, the tests are difficult. I'm glad they are supposed to ask if you have any conditions that could prevent you from performing them.
I'd definitely fail the heel to toe one. Although, not many people can walk a balancing beam slowly.
That’s because their rigged. A proper sobriety test should be conducted at the station and you should refuse all and request to be brought to hospital for blood test and stay silent if you are not under the influence. Them machines do not even get Calibrated so they are not accurate in the first place.
I absolutely would fail too!
This cop is saying he conducts tests and just decides the person failed.
Yep
This cop has been on the job for over 16 years and has no stripes. You already know!
Any department that doesn't have cameras in 2022 doesn't want them and that is highly suspicious.
I've heard a well-known sheriff in florida say that they don't do it because the cameras point at the public and violate our privacy.... I call bs. I would rather the officers have bodycams on.
@@steezyx2321 Agreed, there is no expectation of privacy in public.
No new cars, no new bullet proof vest, no new guns….no NOTHING until they are equipped with body cams, dash cams and cameras in every room of the department/jail. We the people NEED these cameras.
Cameras must be present for police activity Has been shown to contradict Officers reported behaviour
Probably lots of money for guns, ammo, and lots of other fun toys.
Crazy how cops on the stand speak very quietly and have amnesia.
a sign of guilt /lie
I heard him loud and clear when he tried defending his lies near the end
@@concordioobeso6437 maybe nobody will hear them
Why would they care at that point? They already got to arrest you, your car got towed, you paid bail, etc. They can be in the wrong but still cause you grief
🤣
So, this cop makes people take these "tests" while he has no idea what he is looking for while administering them . . . How WONDERFUL !
the one leg test is dumb, a lot of overweight, older people, people with bad knees couldnt do that test even sober
Dude, in every state but one you have to do none of those tests. There is no law or statute....it would violate your 4 58:25 th. Im the son of a cop. There is no passing these tests....you're handing them more probal cause. If you were drinking give a lawyer a chance. Verbaly assert you're 4th, 5th, and 6th ammendment to have that lawyer present BEFORE any questioning. Meaning you dont have to say yes or no (absolutely required) when they say "do you understand these instructions" you remind them that you have asserted your 4th and 5th. Then be tough enough to let then do what they want. Go to jail and fight there. The cops will trip up...cant know every law. REMAIN SILENT COOPERATE GET OUT OF THE CAR. SAY ONLY I DO NOT CONCENT TO ANY SRARCH OF MY PERSON OR PROPERTY. IF YOU DONT Say it its not granted until after your arrested. You gotta give blood or breath at the station. Thats the only thing that'll go to court. Peace.
@@nedanother9382, good tip.
@nedanother9382 And how many average (keyword) people are aware that they aren't required to submit to those tests? Cops will intentionally word it in with the implied consent breath and/or blood chemical tests and make it sound like you can't refuse. And so the average person will just consent and do the tests not knowing they are just gathering more evidence and not actually ruling out dui
In most states you may refuse the field sobriety test but refusing the breath test also will likely deprive you of the license on spot.
Everything is all good until a corrupt cop goes to court. Like a fish out of water
They don't remember anything! Cowards!
I once had an officer heavily falsify a report including stealing evidence. I went to court to fight it and when the judge rolled in in a wheelchair while wearing a big giant cowboy hat, I remember thinking oh great I'm screwed lol but actually he was exceptionally smart and was able to see through the officers lies and dropped the charges. Best judge ever. And to top it off the entire department went under investigation by the state, it was very satisfying!
i guess it was a don't judge a book by it's cover. happy to hear you won
So the rules don't apply for him
@@itsangiakalovejunkie the word incompetent never came out of my mouth. I expected him to be a hard-ass, that was twenty years ago now, I was a little younger and naive then.
yes a lot of judges are fair they don’t immediately side with anyone they use their own brain which makes them non bias this is why judges are needed
@@yourneighbor3887no. It was a don’t judge a judge by his cover hahahahah. Get it? A cover is another name for a hat in military service and I imagine police service also.
A police officer once told me, "We as police officers have the power to change your life" That chilled me to the bone because it is the absolute truth. You can only hope that the officer you happen to be interacting with is an honest, ethical human being.
you're not gonna believe me but me as a citizen has almost the same amount of power to ruin your life, the diffrence is how much trouble ill get in rather than a cop.
Scary 😟
"Honest, ethical human beings." Nope, 99.9% of the time, they are not. Just hope you know God and trust God will work it out for the best outcome for you. Our justice system and the police systems are corrupt and have been since inception, especially against black and brown skin. This system was created to keep black people as a slave to grow the wealth of white people with all that free labor while in prison. They don't keep them full for nothing. Whether you broke the law or they lied on and said you did.
@@theendofthestart8179 THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A PSYCHOPATH WOULD SAY!!! ARE YOU A TYRANT 🐷 THAT CAN ARREST A TOTALLY INNOCENT PERSON & HAVE HIM LOSE HIS JOB, LICENSE & RACK UP A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A PERSON TO HAVE TO PAY??🤔🤔🤔
@@theendofthestart8179 whatever do you meen??
Why does courtroom footage from 2022 look like it has been filmed on a toaster from 1987?
Because all the taxes you & other sheep pay, just goes to fill these corrupt: judges, 🐖's, & officials pockets rather than shyt that matters
Cheap camera with lower resolution, or a 1987 camera that’s still being used?
On VHS tape
There's hours and hours of video for every court case. Not to mention multiple angles in every courtroom. Taping in 4k or even 1080p would likely be very expensive considering they need to hold on to these recording for a quite a while. It's just cost. And why would they even need 1080p recording?
4:53
99% of those test I can’t even do sober!
That attorney had a easy job on this case. A 16 year veteran cop doesn't know the answers to a field sobriety test. Unreal!
I know he should know like the back of his hand
Seriously? He knows what he is looking for when conducting a field sobriety test, and that's what's important, not the specific names of the clues. This is so academic it hurts. No jury is really going to care, because we all know the basics about what they're looking for and no one would credibly question that of the officer unless he made an actual mistake in identifying a clue which was not presented. He simply couldn't name them.
@@femsplainer You mean like the clue he did include in the report but is not actually a clue. The slight loss of balance on the first step of the walk and turn is not a clue according to the NHTSA manual. Which the defense lawyer points out.
Also, how do you not clearly see the issue with an officer just disregarding the guidance from the governing body on how field sobriety tests should be performed, whom they should be performed on, and what constitutes enough clues to arouse suspicion? Or the fact that the officer was never even given a single refresher course in 16 YEARS.
If I had been on that jury I would have had a huge issue with a Law Enforcement Officer not being able to name or describe basically any of the clues he is supposed to be looking for. It's his JOB to know them. If you asked a doctor to name symptoms for some common diseases would you really be okay with the doctor not being able name any of them? No because lives are on the line. It's no different with Officers of the Law. Lives and livelihoods are on the line so I do expect them to know this shit and so should everyone else.
@@femsplainerum. No. These officers have the power to ruin your life and lock innocent people up. Over qualifications is necessary not lack of qualifications. Nice try though.
He doesn't know the clues
You can imagine how easy it was to frame someone years ago before any police had cameras and audio.
Still they turn off the audio or both audio and video whenever they feel like it, with impunity!
Hard to believe how easy it was to frame Rodger Rabbit and Lee Harvey Oswald.
These punks are still framing folks.
This case was this year & it amazes me that they don't have body cams OR even dashboard cameras. I live in a smaller area than this & our LE has both. This makes me think they haven't gotten either bc maybe there's a lot of wrong doing so they CHOOSE to not get them. I think it needs to somehow be REQUIRED nationally.
That's why BLM fought so hard for it.
I love how this DUI guy works his cases. He poses all the right questions and we are left thinking 'where is he going with this?'' but he knows exactly what he is doing. He pauses to have a drink, letting the jury have time to absorb the information they are being given and his calm and collected voice is simply flawless. He pulverized this cop's credibility.
This officer was tying to score brownie points at the expense of a senior citizen. How despicable!!!!
So the cop basically said "It does not matter that he passes the tests and does not show any symptoms of being drunk, If I think he is drunk, he is drunk".
Yep. That's how 95% of cops operate. They decide you are drunk within first 10 seconds of the stop, if not BEFORE, and then just do whatever they can to FABRICATE evidence of that. They don't bother doing a real investigation because actual policework is hard, but making shit up based on your hunches is easy.
He refused the breath test. I wonder why...?? 🤔
@@---Joy--- it doesn't matter because the fact that he did is not evidence and is not allowed to be evidence
@@peterb2272 It matters during the traffic stop. Oh and btw: He *didn't* pass the field sobriety tests *and* exhibited some textbook signs of intoxication.
@@---Joy--- sigh. If it matters why was there a mistrial? Then when you have answered that, go back and watch the entire video. Pay attention to the crosses examination where he is being asked about what symptoms he exhibited and what constitutes a pass for FSTs. Then come back and defend what you just said with actual facts.
WOW, no cameras on the cop, on the car, in the jail...how does anyone believe anything from this department?
That’s why no cameras. So you have no choice but to believe the police because why would they lie??
No department in America should be able to get any new vehicles or ANYTHING else until that department has been outfitted with body cams and dash cams and cameras in every room of a jail. Cops lie. And they don’t care who they ruin with their lies, just so long as they take someone’s freedom or takes their money.
They dont!
That's so they can violate your rights and your helpless to do anything about it.
I have been pro police for a long time. I have changed my opinion
Because many of them are crooks, and tyrants.. ALWAYS RECORD THE POLICE! At the cheap cost of dashcams and phones there is NO excuse!
This police officer makes his own law!!
You could be innocent but if the cop says you're guilty The court will side with the cop.
It's sad because the court doesn't follow the law
City don't wanna get sued
The disturbing part of all this is that defending yourself from incompetent and ignorant cops costs thousands of dollars in legal fees, not to mention the time that must be dedicated.
I spent thousands to dispute an anti-diarrhea pill a cop found in my back seat floor board during a traffic stop for a license plate light out. Dude had the audacity to say I had intent to sell. I laughed because I thought it was a joke. It was one pill and it had dirt and hair all over it. And that's when he arrested me. I paid thousands to prove I was innocent. And it definitely affected my performance in school because I was being accused of a misdemeanor for several months. Our system does not work as it should. It punishes the innocent too harshly.
Well, when you win you can go after them for false arrest, court fees, etc. The system takes time, but a false arrest is a good chunk of money depending on what it's for and the severity.
@@bigchungus4127 yeah and to go after them, you’re gonna need a lot more money again
yep.... cops get paid to go to court while the innocent have to pay for justice
If that doesn't display the problems with our system....nothing will
it's a racket
worse yet....this video ended in a mistrial which means the whole process has to started all over and repeated.....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
@@bigchungus4127 Yeah that's my retirement plan. When I am all done working, I am gonna just go be black in town till a cop "smells weed" and then beats me out of "fear for his safety."
Police criminality is a bigger problem than the public hears about.
Agreed
They're lower iq than the average. They have to be to get the job.
Amen
Looking at the “Justice” system as a whole, it’s a extortionist bordering on entirely criminal system. They just need to keep up the facade so they’re not outright about it. Just the infringements on the constitution alone deem the federal court system as unqualified to be an unbiased party. But you gotta go back 200 years to study where it began. Most people think this is all normal cuz that’s all they’ve known. But when you see the history of Supreme Court justices and senators being bought and paid for all the way back in the railroad days, it makes more sense.
Police fabricated 10 false arrest on me and illegally incarcerated me in maximum security prison because I filed ethics complaint, exposing corruption in Stamford, Connecticut government
Wow, this gold! Thanks, Larry.
Tell us you're a criminal without telling us you're a criminal...
One thing I noticed: they smelled alcohol, did a field sobriety test on the husband, found nothing to suggest he was drunk (he was 65 so a FST should not have been done, and he only triggered one clue on each part of the test), but arrested him anyway. Then they let his wife, without a FST, drive the car when she could have been the source of the alcohol smell.
Did you not listen to the begining...smell of alchohol, slurred speech, 2 failed sobriety test, and an admission to drinking to this very officer.
@@NitEmaRe77 Are you stupid? None of this matters! Smell of alcohol is irrelevant - it doesn't mean the guy was drunk. They aren't supposed to give a 65 year old a sobriety test because older people often fail when they're perfectly sober. Admitting to having had a drink is not the same as being over the limit. Try to focus!
@@NitEmaRe77it doesn’t matter. You have to go by the standardized TRAINING and what that training tell you. The cop did not go by the book!!
@@keemarie1 standardized training states that the smell of alchohol on or about his peron or the car is sufficient cause to initiate a reasonable suspicion the person is DWI, thats what the sobriety tests, and intoxalyzer is for...to prove or disprove that suspicion, and the man adnittedto drinking....
The lawyer said you shouldn’t perform a test on someone over the age of 65 but then changed to account should be taken for someone’s age as they may not be so capable of performing the test if over 65.
If it’s you should take account of their apparent physical ability or it applies when you’re over 65 testing someone who is 65 isn’t going against the training guidelines.
Also aren’t they just guidelines and you would be allowed to use your own judgement in possible borderline cases?
I was wrongfully charged DUI Any Other Substance here in Alabama. I passed both breath tests, field sobriety tests, but failed a blood test for two legally prescribed medications and I had the bottles with me. In my state, DUI Any Substance only covers inhalants and does not cover legally prescribed medications. I kept begging for extensions trying to make the 1 year mark. I did, in fact, make it to 1 year by which a charge CANNOT be amended and had the charges completely dismissed. I held this secret saying nothing for a year and begging for extensions until the day came I stuck it to the prosecutor. Even the judge was totally amazed. The police are not our friends!
I just looked up local laws for TN thanks to your comment. Im facing a dui charge from october of last year, and my attorney has been postponing the court date every time it comes up. Im now scheduled for court the end of september. It seems like she's going for that 1 year mark as well which I didn't even know about, and honestly I've been ready to just face the courts and get my punishment started and over with. (I was also wrongfully charged. Asleep in my car, drunk but knew not to drive. Keys were out and in the floor so legally I was not in control of the vehicle at the time the officers woke me up)
Absolutely not our friends. They are pieces of S-hit
I got charged for DUI for prescription medications also. Which I just had in my possession. I hadn’t taking any them that day but because they were in my possession they arrested me. Not one of them were missing out of the bottle. I fought it in court for almost a year. Blood work come back good but they purposely gave me the wrong court date the last time so I would get a failure to appear so that I would get a warrant and have to plead guilty to the charge. That goes to show you how crooked the justice system is. They don’t want to be proved wrong ever. It’s just crazy that if they did that to me imagine what they do to other people
@@angrydingus5256your def not guilty, a key element of DUI is someone(a police officer) need to see you drive the vehicle

You are ABSOLUTELY correct!!!
Thank you for saving mine I'm 2 minutes in
Yeah I think too much time went by and the cop couldn't remember details. That's why attorneys will delay the case as long as they can. If you don't have a really sharp memory you're going to forget.
@@Turtlehandsin the beginning, Dui guy caught the officer looking at the police report when Proscuter was asking questions...

How many times did he use your head as a punching bag?
@@doitallman😂😂😂 ruthless
Now I’m really wondering how many of those hundreds of DUI individuals that the cop is referring to have had their lives ruined solely based on his suspicions of DUI.
There was no suspicion.. there was accusation and the desire to be right..
He had no probable cause to make an arrest. He doesn't even know all of the clues.
You know the one leg stand isn't a accurate test, especially if you have had a back injury b4 or leg injury..The Police try to trick you to say I couldn't do this sober etc.. need to say that you can't physically do that do to back injury or they kinda got you.. I got a Fake DUI in MD when I fell asleep in car after work,had heat exhaustion from index of 105 3 days in a row..I blew.000.. got arrested,when they shoulda called a ambulance,then police make jokes a hr or so later when I start feeling better in AC..Funny thing is in Maryland,you have to go to hospital for blood test..that's hard to do when they to ake your car and you have to get a ride at 130am after being there since 7pm.smdh,no food etc,have work next day..It's insane and should be illegal for anyone to have to give a blood test this way..If it's so important they should take your blood there,which they shouldn't be allowed anyway..It's a human right thing..Not sticking me with a needle after I've proven innocence,but you still get DUI for no blood test,so wrong..then U can't drive to work etc..messes &makes your life really hard..the police should have to take a breathalyzer &blood test everytime they conduct this to be fair..I've seen police drink and get in there cars & most likely have pulled people over that way..Fair is Fair

I used to take care of an elderly man who had suffered a stroke leaving him with facial droop, eye issues, difficulty with speech, and difficulty walking. A cop tried to accuse him of being drunk. It was so embarrassing !
I completely disagree with you, while I don't disagree that you might've cared for an elder fellow but I've been in contact with people who've had strokes. They would not be allowed to drive until their symptoms subside. Maybe except the slurred speech but eye issues is a big a no no drooping face maybe but the eyes hell no, what's the rule of 20/20 vision?

How can you arrest someone for DUI and not know what the "clues" are? 😢😢
“I want a large cola” honestly was my initial thought when I looked at this guy 🤣. He’s a spitting image! Damn it Farva!
I would never submit to a roadside agility test… and I don’t even drink alcohol.
At what point during your test for a licence were you asked to stand on one leg for thirty seconds? I don't recall that being a qualification or part of the test to hold a driving licence.
Correct, I am a healthy man but I would failed the test.
🎯
That’s fact. I don’t consume any type of alcohol. I’ve been tried like this multiple times. Also stalked when coming out of subway, I had received a phone call and the cop literally, pulled his Patrol car over and watched me from across the street. I was literally talking on my cell next to my drivers door. Not blocking, the next parking spot. Because a car was already there parked. I’m Glad this POS is under the microscope, we need more accountability like this .

Kudos to the lawyer. Great job. I'm sure the prosecution hates to see your name as the defense attorney.

Seriously, a f-cking "Emoji"...!?
"Video evidence" of what, his attitude on the day in question...? Do you think he's going to take the stand and present himself with the same attitude that resulted in him having to appear.....?
So, what is your logic, that I need to have been a witness to know that he won't be the same asshole in Court as what he was on the day.....?
Stick to eating crayons "Smurph", see if you can match the colours with the flavours you know.
I'll give you a heads up, using "Emojis" to emphasize a comment say's more about your inadequacies than it does about your intended meaning, you probably have to Google what the "little faces" expressions "akshually" mean......
Arrogant Cops are insecure, it comes down to "personality" and the capacity for introspection and self observation, self awareness. When the kind of "personality" which that Cop has, is confronted with having to show accountability, it's their insecurity that becomes obvious.
Oh yea, they can put on a good show in court. Look calm & civilized, while talking like street thugs to citizens.
@murph8411 that's the point. Its in everyone's best interest to have that evidence
I love it. The harder the questions got and the worse he looked, the quieter he got. Wishing he could shrink behind the counter! “The test is wrong! I know better!”
As my dad would say you gonna learn today 😂
Doesn't matter - the COPS WON THAT one. The Defense didn't make any particular case, offered insufficient argument to get it dismissed. So, it will just go to trial again with a new jury.
The cop CLEARLY said that:
a) He does NOT remember the points he's SUPPOSED to look for in the tests, and
b) He CHOSE to dismiss his training (tested to be accurate in the labs & the field), and instead went by his own personal OPINION and experience!!! You can't say you looked at both when they are in direct opposition to each other.
I REALLY WISH I became a lawyer like I wanted to in high school. I know my life would have taken a completely different trajectory because I'm passionate about it. I allowed myself to be talked out of it by the guidance counselor.
How can people who don't remember the law be trusted to enforce it with force.
So they have to be robots and remember every single tiny little thing? Yeah you try doing that
It’s their job. You can’t be a cook if you don’t know how to cook. Can’t be a mechanic if you don’t know how to fix cars etc… know the law if you’re law enforcement. That’s not asking much. All they’re teaching them is how to get headshots when shooting at someone, inflict pain on people and the rest is whatever they feel like doing? Too many cops do exactly that and the people continue to pay for their “ignorance” of not knowing how to do their job correctly. Peoples lives are at risk not to mention everyone who is also part of that person’s life. We should never have to settle for a sub par officer.
Cops aren't supposed to enforce the law. They are supposed to enforce the peace.
They only remember what’s convenient to them, then make up the rest along the way. God forbid you question them, it may cost you your freedom if not worse.

Great Defense Attorney ❤
If I, as a Walgreens pharmacy worker, have to complete routine training courses every year to maintain my knowledge and skill of practice, shouldn't this law enforcement agent also have to review his knowledge every so often? It is bizarre that he is allowed to go 15 years without any refresher courses.
Good answer. But, in reality, we know there would be major pushback from such a universal policy.
He doesn’t need additional training…he a superior person because he’s a cop…and this whole trial is just an inconvenience…we should just trust him and let it go at that…I mean cops never lie or plant evidence or cover for other cops when they break the law. The defense attorney is being way to aggressive in asking questions the good officer is not able to answer…yes that sarcasm 🙄
Yes! At my company we have to sit through tons of redundant state and federally mandated training every year. Like, how many times do we need to be reminded that racism, insider trading and securing customer's information needs to be said. Surely the city or county this man works for needs to be reprimanded and forced to do the same.
I worked in a call center that did routine training courses every year and that is a bs job that doesn't effect people's lives the way the police can.
Excellent suggestion, Pangur! YEP, I think that definitely should be added to law enforcement, to keep their brain fresh!!!! Great suggestion!
if you are guilty…keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer….if you are innocent…YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED A LAWYER!
Exactly.. Its something I explain to everyone. But some people still insist that my advice would make a person look even more guilty or something along those lines. The police are there to look for any excuse to find you guilty for anything. You keeping your mouth shut both before, and after asking for a lawyer is what saves your butt.
Its like the saying "Give someone an inch and he'll take a mile." ( I have seen plenty of innocent people get arrested, as well as jailed for crimes they have not done. )
Sad that not everyone can afford a lawyer

Shame on the judge for not dismissing the case! She should have been easily convinced that the officer was just looking for a case, a notch in his record. Nothing was mentioned about the fact that the officer said he approached on the passenger side, but then affirmed that he approached in the driver side. Then said he conducted the eye test but then said he didn’t. Shame on you judge. Judge NOT qualified to be in the seat. Protect the people! That should’ve been dismissed! Move on! There are real cases to be heard. Not bull crap cases like this. Great job lawyer! I’m so sorry Mr. Hernandez.

They don’t hire for intellect. Even if they wanted to, it’s not going to happen. Especially in the current climate.
From the bottom to the top, this is how it works. They're getting very upset these days because the curtain is falling down. The public is realizing that these armed fools are just making it up as they go along. Turns out you can't get away with that forever 🤦🤷
Well why would they ? Y’all realize how under paid they are? I think the guy should have sharpened his mind to the specific laws applying to dui stop/ arrest . But no one could recall the entire constitution
True, though this is far from the worst incident of police being utterly incompetent of the law I've seen haha.
At least he kinda sorta knew the signs, but didn't realize you need more than one to have reasonable suspicion to arrest someone. And also the over 65 thing... Kinda seems like a case of this guy not being malicious or evil, just somewhat incompetent and having poor judgment.
Funny when in front of the judge they never say these words:

"A long leg stand" this corrupt cop had no legs...what a disgusting disgrace !
Never commit to a field sobriety test, you're incriminating yourself and the test will be used as evidence against you in court.
Only if you have been drinking. Because in some states like mass. Failure to take a breathalyzer is an automatic loss of license for 1 year. So there is a consequence for refusing. If you think there may be a chance of failing its better to not take the test but you will still have consequences
@@michaeljennettejr6441 I rather deal with the consequences than be on tape failing the self incriminating test. I'm not a lawyer but it appears a law forcing someone to take the test or lose their license is a due process violation. This appears to be a test to prove the cop was right and the citizen was wrong.
I think maybe this law was implemented, because most people whether intoxicated
or sober can't pass the test. Hell I bet police officers can't even pass the test. I wouldn't be able to pass the test. I don't drink or do drugs and I have been in law enforcement for over thirty years
Also someone losing their driving license without any evidence they committed a violation against the department that issued the license sounds like grounds for a lawsuit.
Good grief, this officer is so incompetent 🙄 Like learn your freaking job already! 16 years???? There is zero excuse that you don’t know backwards and forwards the assessment of a field sobriety test.
In Australia we don't have to do these self incriminating FST. The FST was put in place to make you look guilty. Here cops just give us the breathalyser & the results speak for themselves. This is a huge issue in US LE, cops lying to cover shit up its disgusting.

It's Lion county NV. That's to be expected. I still remember when highway 50 got a daytime headlight stretch in silver springs and they had a cop car in front of the sign and pulling people over who didn't know to put their lights on. For about 2 weeks the judge started court with "Anyone who got a ticket for not having your headlights on, please leave." It was a total shit show.
