New Jersey Police Lieutenant Arrested for Drunk Driving; .36% BAC

- Today's installment is an exclusive, otherwise-unreported story covering the drunk driving arrest of a Lower Township, New Jersey police lieutenant on April 27, 2018.
On that date at approximately 6:28 pm, Lower Township police communications received a call from a concerned citizen regarding a black Chevrolet truck driving erratically on Breakwater Road toward Route 9. The citizen described the vehicle as being operated at a high rate of speed and in a manner unsafe to other vehicles on the road - reporting that the driver had already ran a light and nearly crashed multiple times. Two officers were assigned to the call and responded, quickly locating the vehicle and noting that “the driver was not able to maintain the[ir] lane of travel,” and that “the vehicle cross[ed] over the center line as well as the fog line numerous times" while it was under their observation.
In the area of Route 9 and Honeysuckle road, the lead officer attempted to stop the truck, but its driver turned onto Honeysuckle and continued for another quarter mile before coming to a stop. At that point the driver of the vehicle was identified as Lower Township Police Lieutenant John A. Chew. The responding officers contacted their command staff per department protocol, and after some attempts at field sobriety tests, Chew was placed under arrest for driving under the influence.
Back at the station the on-duty administrator - also a lieutenant - observed Chew's breath alcohol testing. His report memorialized the following events: “I then read the defendant his Miranda warnings from a card in the processing area. As I completed each sentence of the form I asked if he understood. After each question, he raised his right hand and extended the middle finger in my direction. Upon asking the last question if he wished to answer questions he again extended his middle finger in my direction. I advised I would consider that a NO.”
Chew’s attorney hired expert witness Kevin Flanagan to review the entire arrest. Flanagan, now retired from law enforcement, spent 16 years working in and eventually leading the Alcohol Testing Unit of the New Jersey State Police. Flanagan authored a highly detailed 12 page report covering every possible deficiency in the case against Chew. Nevertheless, on September 13, 2018 John Chew pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. His driver’s license was revoked for seven months followed by six months with an ignition interlock, and he was required to spend a minimum of six hours a day for two consecutive days in an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center or IDRC. IDRCs provide a 12-hour education class conveying information about New Jersey's alcohol and drug laws and the effect of alcohol and drugs on the body and driving ability. They also conduct screenings for referrals to assessments and/or self-help groups for treatment of substance abuse issues. Chew was also assessed $689 in fines. That battery of punishments is standard for a first DUI in New Jersey.
John Chew is no longer employed by Lower Township Police Department. As of the time of this story’s publication Lower Township Police had not responded to questions and a request for comment.
The complete 79-page case record, including the entire report by Kevin Flanagan, will be available to Patreon supporters shortly. (Thank you.)

I feel bad for the people who call this a bootlicker channel. You are confusing them.
Damien Matthews 😂😂😂 Good! I cover reality and I report the facts, whatever they are. Sometimes reality isn't pretty, but oftentimes it is. The problem is that people are so used to sensationalist, fear-based news coverage that a reasonably balanced and neutral publication raises their alarm bells.
I work hard to practice ethical journalism, whose four pillars are literally on the wall behind my monitor: Seek truth and report it. Minimize harm. Act independently. Be accountable and transparent. I am human and I will make mistakes, but at the end of the day I *hope* that my content confuses anyone who actually believes that the one-sidedness of my reporting reflects anything other than the side I am on: the truth.

So true... this guy just shows reality as it is and let's the truth speak for itself
@@hectic5173 Agreed
I havnt seen 1 video of a cop auditor video or a video titled something to imply the cops did wrong. May not be a bootlicker channel but its a tunnel vision channel for the blind...metaphorically speaking
What's a bootlicker ?
He blew a .36 and was still walking. This guy is a professional drunk.
He doesnt even look that bad, like hes onviously drunk. I wonder how many times hes been wasted on duty, probably every day
Some ppl can drink and drink and they still can act normal.
robbobstew I’d bet a lot of high ranking officers or even officers in general are high functioning drunks lol
@@kylemutti2992 Jeffrey cops god-given right to have a few drinks then go out and get some Dunkin Donuts
Abe Soloman lmao
The fact that they're doing things by the book because it's on camera is exactly why we NEED body cameras
Lol yeah except it’s human nature to protect those that you know. I would’ve let him go too if I was a cop
Very little of this is by the book.
@@comona exactly why I think millions are happy youre not a cop, so thank you 😊
And that's the only reason why they do it by the 'book'!!! //!
@@comona and then he runs a stop sign and kills a child...
"I would love to know who called"
"You know you can find that out"
That's terrifying.
Despicable!
Well, at least it's on record, if anything happens to the party that called, we know who's responsible
Probably someone he arrested in the past
@@Sonjaorleans i dont care if it was Satan himself. guy shouldnt be driving while intoxicated and he shouldnt have the ability to find out who called.
Isn't it in public records as long as the witness doesn't ask to be anonymous?
WHO CALLED??
"Don't worry Lt., you can easily find out"
That's some corrupt shlt right there.
.....LT is most likely a freemason.
I think this video acts as proof that police officers being forced to have audio and video recording IS helpful for public safety.
It may be helpful for public safety, but it certainly isn't a deterrent.
@@nonmihiseddeo4181 It definitely is. There have been loads of studies on this. A few here:
In Mesa, Arizona, for example, use-of-force complaints decreased by 75% for officers using cameras in a pilot program.1 In Nampa, Idaho, they dropped by 24%.
In San Diego, from a 2015 report based on preliminary statistics showed that body cameras helped reduce “personal body” force by officers by 46.5%
In Rialto, California-after the police force had worn body cameras for a full year, citizen complaints against police declined by 60%. The number of incidents that resulted in the use of force by an officer, dropped by 88% after the use of body cameras. Officers who were not equipped with cameras were twice as likely to use force as officers who were.
@@riz8114 Couldn't those statistics also be attributed to citizen's knowing they are being recorded and the reduction in complaints are false complaints?
@@johnemerson5313 yes it could. Its a win win really
Yes has helped a lot but as an insider the corruption still runs rampant. The cops that don’t do the bad deeds don’t speak up . Makes them all almost dirty.
Thank goodness for body cameras. The fact that nobody knew how to arrest this guy, after multiple reckless driving calls is astounding
No, thank the person who reported the erratic driving thus creating a permanent record, a paper trail. Camera footage is only retained when there is a report. No report, body camera doesn't matter.
The cameras protect the good cops and they protect good people from bad cops. They're a positive all the way around.
the body camera matters or they could of swept this under the rug....@@DoctorJammer
@@debra6636 You don't understand, there is no one whose job it is to watch every second of body camera footage. There has to be a report for the footage to be looked at, if not the footage is deleted after 90 days typically. But yes, no denying the body camera provides critical evidence.
But they still have on and off buttons. Id remove those. They turn them odd whenever they want to
I've never seen two cops so afraid of doing the right thing
Did you notice how the cop said we have to do everything by the book (because it will be scrutinized) So does that mean for regular people, the cops don't always follow procedure?
Doing the wrong thing is easy but doing the right thing is hard.
It's called brotherhood and loyalty and it's what separates cops from every day citizens. Knowing there is someone else who understands, who has your back and who backs that up with their life if that's what it takes.
I am glad to see they did, everyone should be held accountable.
@@CensorMe1369What a load of BS. Most people have loyalty to their families, friends and even co-workers. I’m not minimising what cops go through, but all decent people have loyalty to those they care about.
This is so concerning for SO many reasons. Everyone needs to be accountable for their actions no matter WHAT.
These cops are such pussies. It’s cringy to watch
BEFORE body cam and dash cam he would have been driven home.
Probably
Hell they wouldn't even of done that, they just would have stuck their head in the window and said oh Hey Bob have a nice day, and Went on their merrily way!
Are you complaining that things are different now or what?
He would have for sure
nick williams Nick. Hell yes body cams have ruined life for cops that drink and drive. They should be allowed to do so... C'mon Nick. That's not what I meant at all. What I meant is its sad that police got away with drunk driving prior to body cams.
I'm loving how a Drunk Lt. can find out who called in on him. That sounds like a citizen will be harassed for doing the right thing.
He is drunk just do what you do to citizen he isn't special
That's what I was thinking when I heard that.
Probably pay them a visit and plant something on them
@@DomWayne I don't doubt that at all.
That broke protocol so bad and the person named should sue and have both of the cops fired.
LT: "I'd love to know who called" officer: "You can find that out sir"
Frightening....
None of the officers should have treated him differently from non LEO's civilians. This tells me everything I need to know.
Right? A bunch of corrupt asses that will put us citizens through the ringer to advance their careers. Policing is a business, and they protect their business partners.
so basically , before body cam, he wasnt getting charged
Correctemundo!! And it’s funny he asked who called him in for his driving and the officers said, “you know you can find that out”... as if they’re gonna be harassing that lady for getting their lieutenant in trouble or something smh
That was absolutely the vibe.
Have you ever watched the movie Cop Land? If not, you should.
This is why NY city cops were avoiding getting cams
When the first guy said he didnt smell alcohol you could tell he was lying ..
Never seen so much sympathy for a drunk driver.
AMEN TO THAT
Lol , exactly
Cops aren't shit but gangsters with badges.
@John Isho I just don't understand how people can't understand it. It's a coworker and a superior. On top of that, there is a difference between some trashy person getting a DUI and an officer, the "moral gap" is much wider for the latter, seeing as his reputation and career is gone. A factory worker with a DUI can still get a job, but this guy's life is over. I generally have a strong distaste for cops, but to not empathize with the arresting officer just seems unintelligent.
@John Isho What about a life saving doctor and a murderer? I'd say there is a big morale gap. We're all human but by how we live our lives and the choices we make define our morality.
I find it very scary that he said "I'd like to know who called it in". Why? What would or will he do with that information? The person reporting him was a concerned citizen. We don't need police officers going after law abiding citizens who did nothing wrong.
If they didn’t have those cameras this man would still be driving drunk 🤦🏾♂️
At least the birds are having a good day
H Mark : They have the luxuries of never having G to drive, nay bother with booze and indeed can get as high as they please whenever they want Freedom!
@Get Nae Nae'd Don't forget there are many predators to birds. You'd be looking over your shoulder constantly. And be susceptible to many diseases.
beautiful ain't it
Lmao!!!!! Nice!!
😂😂 simple but funny
You know from the way that everyone talks to each other, that before body cameras, senior cops just went home from an incident like that.
Allen_ 85 nonsense
“My mics live” every time 😂
cops also used to let drunk people drive back home too you know
@@khl619 yeah, they still do. My ex-friend wrecked and cop said we were both drunk and to all a ride. Once we were pulled by a state trooper, he pulled him to the back. Buddy comes back to car and said"officer told us to go the fuck home. Now." It just depends on who pulls you over. I was arrested because I thought I fully paid a ticket, it was a court fee and I was acting as designated driver...was in for 13hrs.
Yup
By preventing him from killing or injuring someone, they actually helped this guy. I don't envy the officers.
The scariest thing that I ever heard in this video was that drunk cops first coherent statement that he made was to ask who called on him. Maybe even scarier was that arresting officer confirmed that he could get it.
He shouldn’t be allowed to know who called it in. It’s a major conflict of interest for numerous reasons.
I believe that should be against the law.
The 6th amendment gives you the right to confront your accuser. 18USC 241, 242 and 34 USC 12601 protects us against police retaliation.
i agree.....when he was informed he would have access to that info...my eye brows raised! that should be strictly confidential
in america this is called freedom, discovery reports are your constitutional right.
cgaskin00 this doesn't fall under confront your accuser.
I really respect the Lt. for this! Purposefully driving drunk to test his subordinates, making sure they hold themselves to the same standards. What dedication!
Bahahahaaaa, good one
@@humanheapotrash9898 believe it or not you dont understand sarcasm
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 not even on blue bloods
I just about pissed myself reading this....
This is what I call on the job training!
I was "shocked" to learn Chew was ONLY "47" years old! I had him in his late "50's" to early "60's"!!!
WOW!!!
It’s seriously not cool that he’s able to look up who called him in. I can’t imagine anyone would choose not to keep that information private- especially in these circumstances- and certainly any regular person wouldn’t be privy to the identity of their accusers.
Anyone can through a FOIA request.
When the officer says to his superior "we've got it on camera" is a good example of why body cams should always be recording without the officer being able to control it.
Then you would have an untold number of hours of meaningless bodycam recoding requiring more storage which costs more. So you would be willing to pay higher taxes for the police department to buy more storage capacity to store all the meaningless recording of body cams when a small percentage of all the hours of the recording is done is all that is required.
@@benjaminsorenson storage is cheap. Oh wait the upcharge for storage to pay these lovely officers more per hour. Your right, my bad.
@@asnowsnowman2312 Storage for your emails and photos is cheap. Secure digital storage of evidence in a manner that does not jeopardize it's admissibility in court is a little different.
So you want video of the officers eating lunch, going to the bathroom, having a quick phone conversation with their kids before they go to bed, etc?
Benjamin Sorenson YES better then putting innocent people in jail or paying for a silly wall or fighting made up wars.
“We have to pull him out, we can’t mute our cameras or anything” really sums it all up
Exactly!
@Uber Its disgusting. They should be suspended and investigated for even hinting at covering something up.
@@mikekillagreen9432 What a stupid opinion. So any teenager who makes a joke about suicide should have to pass a psych evaluation? Putting your brain before your mouth will save you a lot of embarrassment in the future.
@@aggressivelyamicable5987 You're not making any sense. Totally off topic. Knock it off. Grow up
@@mikekillagreen9432 grow up
My dad once told me that cops are the worlds largest and only legal gang and this video shows that to the full extent. They look out for each other and everyone else is on their own.
Make sure you don’t call one of those so called “gang members” when you need help!
@@suzettemyers6058 not all cops are bad, they’re human and they make mistakes. But they are a nation wide, government sanctioned gang. Someone breaks into your house what do the cops do? Someone attacks you on the street can the cops get there in time to help you? Your best defense is yourself. Cops are necessary in society but do we need a DEA, ATF or for local police to have tanks? I would say no. It’s just my opinion. And in 31 years of existence I’ve never needed the police, and I doubt I will anytime soon.
The stress this officer is going through because he's "one of ours"....completely ridiculous.
“We have to bring you in, everything is being recorded”
Thank God for that...
So they could go pee lol
Only by accident it was recording! Had they had known before hand that it was lieutenant , they would had turned their cams off n he would have gotten off scott free!!!
"I wanna know who called" "You know you can find that out". I'm sure the concerned citizen who called would love hearing that.
I was called-out once by a concerned citizen behind me.
They were right... I was drunk as hell, swerving all over the place.
I was arrested later-on.
@DVJFan Morons? Are you insinuating that there are more than one of me? Or are you including the people who liked my comment? Regardless, If it was his wife, that's fine, but to an ordinary concerned citizen, hearing that would be unsettling.
@DVJFan Well, she's such a loving wife!
This is one of many reasons I no longer drink. Feel bad for him just as I feel bad for anyone who still drinks regularly. Legalize cannabis worldwide and for police.
@@drdirtymcshizzle You put down one drug to promote another smfh just DUMB
I feel sorry for the people who called, I’m sure they were ticketed repeatedly and probably had to move out of state once it was found out who called and reported.
Interesting take. Do you write fanfiction? You seem like you'd be good at it
The one cop told the Lt he could find out who called. I’m sure that person was under a microscope and ticketed for every infraction possible. He shouldn’t be allowed to that information.
That was the liquor talking. He won't do anything ESPECIALLY since he's on record asking about who called him in.
@matthewshade7123 I guess listening and critical thinking run short in your family, thanks for the laughs.
We can't mute our cameras.sickening
"He's being cooperative."
- Refused to complete tests
- Refused to get in the back
- Refused to be placed in handcuffs
By 17:00 I would have been taken to the ground and thrown in the back seat in cuffs. Period.
This guy thought he was going to call the shots. If it wasn't for the cameras... he would have
you can actually fail those tests sober, not saying the guy wasn't drunk, but those tests are not accurate, you can lose your balance sober etc.
@@christianbonet That's fair. Especially as a police officer you would know that those tests aren't always accurate but damning nonetheless. I just find it funny haha
Great cooperation..
“I was only driving half a mile!”
How many people do you think this LT threw in jail over his career who said the exact same thing
Right??
B-b-b-but he's their fellow officer. They should just leave him with some road head and a new bottle of whiskey
💯🎯
@@ziggyciggs5862 *Leans over* “Let me fill that whiskey bottle ye got right there”
He could've walked the 1/2 mile to the liquor store...or staggered. Juiced and busted.
Shame on the arresting officers for not following procedures because of his rank. Hope they are all reprimanded and learn a valuable lesson.
The fact that he’s upright and somewhat coherent at a .36 means that he drinks all day every day
“He is being cooperative and stuff” while he refuses all orders he is given.
Yep. Fuck these cops. They should be fired for cause. They have no judgement. Beat cop kid had to keep calling his LT daddy for guidance on a call he has dealt with numerous times in the past and knows how to handle quite well.
What they meant was that he wasn't becoming physical, and was still able to be reasoned with.
@Empyreal War Demon you don't understand how politics works in fields like this. That Lt could easily make those officers lives a living hell if he keeps his job once this is all done. You have to see it from their perspective. They were going to follow protocol regardless but the nature of the encounter was a tough situation for them considering theyre much lower ranking.
carve. not only that, Lt IS cooperating acceping cuffs and arrest, so people, don't bee so harsh and hateful, i met very bad officers, abusive, and none of them looks that kind here.arrested and arresting ones. nobody commenting ever drove hi? c'mon twats.
@@siamouominiocaporali1831 drove "hi"?
What the hell is 'driving hi'?
It’s crazy how the cameras literally completely change everything they do. If this was 15 years ago, they would have drove him home and drove his truck home and Mabey even tucked him in bed.
@Macy sondheim This guy isnt your babies daddy from 5 kids ago. He deserves no loyalty or commitment.
The cameras have been worse for the public, not the cops.
@Macy sondheim even at the expense of americans?
The founding fathers shot people like you
Yes .
No they would let him drive and probably gift him their bottle of Jim Beam for the road.
I think these two cops handled this stop very well. They were probably TERRIFIED of having to arrest another cop. He seems like someone who would hold a grudge.
Disgusting department, the fact that you would have let him continue if you didnt have cameras is just pathetic. IA needs to be investigating this type of stuff for real. Hope he lost his job or at least his title. Also, what I don't understand is how this isnt a conflict of interest since he works with them. They should have called another department, sheriffs, state police anyone else to make it fair.
See this is why I'm a welder so when I'm arrested it's not so awkward.
Lol
Most underrated comment of the video.
lol
Lmao!
Hahaha this is gold
Without body cameras, this dude goes home
Without cameras porn isn't good
@Yosemite Yaheesh oh no
@Black Gurl Slayer prove it.
Yup
Yee even when he walked upto him he said he doesn't wanna do this but the camera is running lolol
I feel bad for the people that called him in! He knows he “can find that out.” Those people are about to be pulled over/accused/railroaded for literally anything and everything 😂
The fact they’re asking if they can NOT cuff him is so embarrassing. The double standard I swear
Superior thing. If it was there equal, they wouldn't be so hesitant.
If that had been anybody else, they would have had them on the ground with a knee in their back slapping the cuffs on. Such bs!
The fact that they need their LT. to tell them that they can’t mute their cameras is disgustingly revealing.
Imagine what happened to men or woman while it was off.. I pray for them and for whoever it may happen to again
No, right from the get-go the more professional officer was telling the other guy they had to keep their body cams live. He was saying that even before he called his superior and got told that. He has integrity, I'm not so sure the bearded cop does. The bearded cop clearly wanted to ride off and pretend this wasn't happening.
@@bethford6884 exactly, these kinda videos don’t look good but I’m glad things are moving in the right direction
It was a proactive statement I think - they might mute for say a personal conversation but he knew they needed to keep them on no matter what so there was no appearance of impropriety.
cry about it. btw i want my number 2 combo large
24:08 “There’s nothing we can do, we would’ve” That goes to show you how they treat each other different than everyone else. It’s even crazier he said it happened to people before and they let them back to work
Yes I caught that too. You should have seen my mouth when it hit the floor.
Sucks when your LT puts you in that situation. Shame on him for making it even more painful. You gotta do what you gotta do tho. I commend these officers for understanding that.
"I would love to know who called." "You can find that out." That is horrifying.
I think the young officer just replied that way in an attempt to make things go as smoothly as possible. I thought he handled the whole thing very impressively.
@@mdunn16 Bull! OF COURSE he can find out. Everything's logged and he's one of the bosses. He's got access to all that info.
@@mdunn16 really? Really??
I think they all stink.
If the cameras & mics weren't there -
It never happened!!!!
Disgusting
He wasnt looking to retaliate he just believes that he did nothing wrong and would like to know what he did to be called on.
@@djsi38t LOL NOT EVEN YOU BELIEVE THAT
A blood alcohol level of .36 is more than 4 times over the legal limit. He's not impaired, he's totally sloshed.
Obviously the test must have been wrong he was able to stand and talk just about fine
@soberpunk so you're saying he was probably okay to drive
.36 should put him in a coma
@@abesoloman6932 not true.... Alcoholics learn to adapt to the alcohol level in their blood over time but their decision making and judgement is impaired. .40 is considered a deadly level of alcohol and I have seen many people "function" at this level and then drop dead at the hospital.
Abe Soloman He is obviously a drunk or he would be in a coma!
Im sorry, did that cop want to turn off the cameras for a "conference" ?? Crooked. Keep an eye on him
Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard that like wtf
I feel horrible for those two police officers. You can tell how uncomfortable they are arresting a fellow officer.
The way he says “ID LOVE TO KNOW WHO CALLED.” Makes me think he is going to take retaliatory actions against the person who called.
o yea hes gona be shoot to death......and then he gona ask him¿YOU GET IT?you totally get it?
Of course he will
Classic drunkard outlash. (I know it well.)
Look at the murderous look on his face, after he asked them.
Bro… he’s drunk af lol
Can I just mention what a beautiful day it was there? Birds chirping, sunny, super green grass, super arrested drunk driver. Beautiful.
Early east coast spring
Lmao 🤜🤛
😂🤣
The robins calling was super soothing.
This is so aggravating! I just watched a video of a mom being arrested for drunk driving and they handcuffed her in front of the neighbors and everybody she knew - there was zero consideration - zero mercy!!! But this guy gets kids' gloves treatment!!!
i feel so bad for these 2 cops being in this position, but this guy is really pressuring them to give him special treatment even though he is not going along with the procedure.
"Ide love to know who called". That's absolutely terrifying.
Yes, but he’s drunk off his arse and defending himself/ego.
Followed by reassurance by cops that he CAN find out ... SERiously ?
This is why people don't want to leave their name when they call 911, which then makes it harder to prosecute defendants. Thank God for cameras.
As I understand, the man lost his job but I highly doubt that anyone told him the name of who reported him, which makes me suspect that my theory is the more likely one : ) That it's tactical rather than actual.
I am 99.9% they were just placating him in order to get his cooperation due to the man's state and position; there are a lot of police interrogation tactics revolving around ego to gain cooperation (see terms like "ego up"). Not saying that it's the most professional behaviour here but it is a path of least resistance, and frankly I do get it.
I am sure that these police officers could lose their jobs as providing such 3rd party information to a defendant is not only unethical but illegal. But of course they could get access to the info of who reported it as that's part of the case though I'm sure the ease of that process depends on how it was reported (or through what channels and whether direct or indirect).
Trust but verify ;)
I want to know who ratted me out. They must be punished.
If body cameras weren't on, this guy would have got a police escort to his driveway.
Yep that is so true I had a souped up 90 civic ex sedan a off duty cop hit while parked drinking and driving the on duty police officer said he didnt breathalyzer him because he had allergies and couldnt smell the booze on him it was a fucked up and sad situation then the on duty cop gave the drunk off duty cop a ride home because his was totalled leaking g fluids everywhere when it was running they parked his car down the street were later on the off duty cop was seen collecting his bottle of whiskey and remnants of a case of beer my neighbor called the police to report this and still nothing was done police show each other preferential treatment it makes me sick I hate cops and do not have respect for them they can all eat shit and die for all I care also I was molested by my uncle when he was 17 years of age and the man is a cop today even though a police report was filed and police were called since he was a minor nothing happened he sodomized and molested me my sister and 3 cousins they treated this drunk cop with copious amounts of compassion a civilian would never receive and to be honest they should be held to higher standards than a civilian
Definitely
@@kylemaneage468 I'm so sorry that happened to you and your sister & cousins. No one should get away with that regardless of their age. He especially shouldn't be a cop!! That's messed up.
I don't believe predators ever stop so that's pretty frightening that he's a police officer. They can't be "cured" that's been proven many times over by the ones who get arrested over and over . They may take sex offender classes in jail but probably not, they have to register as a sex offender. Big deal! Then they are released and do it again. Its disgusting.
Anyone who rapes a child should be locked up for good the 1st time. Think of how many children's lives wouldn't be ruined.

@@kylemaneage468 I'm sure they have! That's unbelievable. Molest kids and nothing happens. You've been burned by the cops one too many times! I'm sorry 😞
Everyone has to realize the guy they are arresting is literally their boss, they were probably scared for their jobs
I am so incredibly proud of the first officer who called it in and kept his body camera on. That’s probably one of the hardest things you’re going to have to do as an officer. You are taught to protect your fellow officers. Real shit.
Nice comment! I agree, all the other comments are taking shots at the guy…
"Can we shut these off for a conference?" "Is your camera on right now?"
That guy 100% was looking for an excuse to let him drive away.
If a body camera is recording an active investigation there is no way a body camera should ever be shut off. You're right. This guy was thinking "Look man, I've only been working here for 5 months, he already doesn't like me, you know this, and I just finally got to my barber to get this sweet beard trim. If he finds out I'm one of the Arresting Officers he will retaliate against me without impunity!" Also dude just sat with his hands crossed and his face down despite knowing the guy was blitzed out of his mind. Any regular citizen and this guy is arresting him after the eye test with prejudice.
Which is why there is an issue, people. Fucking bootlickers can lick my ass instead, I swear to Christ
The bearded cop even lied about not smelling alcohol the first time it was asked, then didn’t answer at all the second time. He didn’t want it on camera in case they could figure out a way to let him go
@@jasonl8720 I noticed the exact same thing!! It couldn’t be more obvious he was lying about not smelling an odor.
Exactly what I was thinking. You could tell by his body language initially, he just wanted the situation to be over and not deal with a cop getting busted. If the cameras weren’t on we all know that would’ve happened.

"we're gonna have to pull him, we can't turn our cameras off or anything."
This lieutenant is really putting his coworkers in an awkward position. The cameras are the great equalizer.
What a tough situation. Unfortunately, the LT made this decision and Drunk Driving should never be tolerated. But, this broke my heart when he said no, I'm not getting handcuffed. Then, when the officer said, we don't want to lose our jobs, he gave in instantly. He knew the coincidences and knew their lives would change too. 🥺
That guy is so selfish to put people who work for him in this position
If it wasn't for Body camera, They would Never Be CAUGHT, RIGHT.
You have the same name as my grandfather I am related to Williams cheers
Your right if those cameras were not on or they had those they would have drove him to his front door an told him to have a good night
Not necessarily true, cops got DUIs before bodycams, although I'm sure superior officers attempted to exploit their positions when possible.
Jeez. Cops can’t win with you people ever. Body cams or not, you will always hate police.
Cops cover for eachother
"I would like to know who called."
Why, so you can use your position of power to make their life a living hell?
Precisely
Yep, sounded like a threat to me!
Yep
What position of power? 😂
No because the accused has a right to face their accuser in a court of law. Pick up a book.
They should have towed his car .. pay that bill like everyone else who gets in trouble !!!!
05:50 “can we cut these off for a conference real quick?” Is crazy asf. I’m glad the second officer was there to make sure they still went through with it cuz the first guy definitely would’ve given him a pass
If this wasn't recorded, we all know they would have let him go.
I’m so glad everything’s recorded. Everyone needs to be held accountable. They are law enforcers and not the law.
They should have
I’ve been let go cause I way basically at my place lol
I dont like it either. But I just thought about it differently. Imagine you or him were arresting their own mother. Everyone would handle that differently, try to get them of the hook.
@@VVlasyl except that isn't his mother, its a fellow co worker breaking the rules. Stfu and think before you say things
“We don’t want to do this to you.”
You didn’t. He did it to himself.
Exactly those officers should be pissed at the Lt. for forcing them into that situation. What a dipshit
As a Lt. He knows better...and he's not above the law. Man up time. All these videos show make people do whats right for all people.
The Lt laughs as he walks normal INSTEAD of walking heel to toe....kinda mocks the cops....that's smart eleck....like he will do it HIS way. Then folds his arms like "how did you like that"...so disrespectful
I hate that saying. Like if u didn’t arrest me I woulda been good. We BOTH did it lmao
They shouldn't be cops if they don't wanna arrest people that are breaking the law.
Thank you for all that you do on this channel ❤
I have watched too many of these for my own good. That is the hardest I have ever seen someone fail the 9-steps heel-to-toe test.
Love how the cop says blatantly "we have to follow the law because we have the cameras on, with audio "
What's wrong with that. these are comrades. are you saying you wouldn't help a loved one out?
@@networkninja2971 they are saying that if the camera was off, that they would break the law, while in uniform. No, I would not break the law and risk my integrity as a police officer to help my drunk uncle. When you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes my friend. Even in the backwoods, these days. Using your privilege to cover up someone else's crap is not in the handbook. That's WHY we have cameras on them... when they don't they are just as criminal as the one's they beat up and put in jail!
I think he said that to put him at ease. You never know what a drunk person would do.
@@networkninja2971 u sound fckn stupid. They are helping him out. If they let him go, he can possibly kill someone or himself. Even if they drove him home. They would be basically telling him its ok to drive drunk again. This is a good lesson for him. Tough love. And as a cop. That LT should know better.
@@networkninja2971 Comrades my foot! This ain't the Marines! They are municipal EMPLOYEES at work and this is their BOSS! Period full stop. Would I break the law for a loved one to help them out? I don't know. MAYBE. But would I do it for a co-worker? HELL NO!
The fact that "muting the cameras" is even considered an option is a BIG problem.
Sometimes they have to mute it when they are about break the law or plant evidence
@tan j maz should they turn it off after a cop shot a suspect, on this channel there's videos that end with a cop telling a cop to turn off his camera
@@justinbrown927 Lmao, they aren't going to "plant evidence". You sound like a super paranoid conspiracy nut.
@@chuckraymond500 He wasn't talking about this specific video, dummy.
@@dragonslayer2565 All cops are bad until YOU need one right?
Can you even imagine what it was like before police had body cams? Omg 😳
These officers shouldn't feel bad at all for doing their job. The entitlement higher-ups in office demand are totally ridiculous. If you commit the crime, you have to pay just like the rest of us.
A leader should never put his subordinates in a position like this. Or expect any special treatment that would jeopardize the investigating officers career.
Not just a leader but any cop who is irresponsible for upholding the law. He is so beligerant and smug. He knows he can get this to go away. Why waste your time. He will just make a fool out of his subordinates. Probable over some beers with his cop pals.
I like how there’s 69 likes keep it that way
You must have learned the in Sunday school - cuz it ain't how things work in the real world.
In his defense, he's drunk....
@@bigdawg1758 well said. This video is just incredible we literally are getting a look into police corruption 😂
It's absolute bs that they don't arrest him the same way they arrest everyone else.
“Are you on?”
“No, you?”
“No”
Imagine how much corruption begins with this simple conversation.
.36% and the officer didn't get a wif of alcohol, but I get pulled over at 2:00am and hadn't had a drink and they smell alcohol. Special treatment.
.36 in broad daylight...
Oh he got a whiff. Just didn’t want it on camera. You can tell.
Adriann1973 yeah he paused for a few seconds when he asked
if u read the report , they did catch the smell of alcohol coming from him
Normally it’s pot they smell nowadays.......
"Id love to find out who called!" why so you can bully and harass them over something you did that was your fault?????
Are regular people even allowed to find out who called on em? I would doubt it.
he's just gonna tell'em - I totally get it
And the cop encourages him
Stinks of a set up I think.
Very true!! Then cops says he can find out who called. It's all Bullshit!!
Mike really didn't want to do this, but he knew he was on camera. And its a damned good thing there are cameras now.
I can imagine how difficult that would have been. I hope he got the help he needed
It’s just disgusting to me how someone of authority thinks it’s perfectly fine to drink & then get behind the wheel of a car and endanger our families. Then have the nerve to act like they shouldn’t be treated like everyone else.
Especially when they are the ones called when there are dead bodies on the road from a idiot driving drunk!! These fools deserve special treatment alright!!! That cop was pitiful
It is infuriating. And these cops are scared to death to do their job. Begging the drunk to behave and understand them.
This cop sounds so nervous it is PATHIC.
U hit the nail on the head
It's called narcissism lol
It is disgusting I can believe they did that but I seeing it with my own eyes 😢
"We don't wanna do this" 10 times. And if it weren't on video, they wouldn't.
mikep6979 correct
Ypu wouldnt help your boys out huh? Hmmmm interesting
Womp womp.
Driving 4 times the legal limit with families driving around. I'm glad they caught him. He makes enough to get a cab..
Exactly my thoughts
15:30 “I would love to know who called” is chilling.
Yeah... a drunk with a gun and now he has my address!
Police should face harsher charges for something like this. They set the example for the citizens when they are enforcing those laws. He definitely knows better.
DeNiro absolutely NAILED this role.
Someone should mail DeNiro by parking a few rounds in his head.
@@donkeyslayer4661 I get it. He doesn't worship your man crush so you want him dead. It's to be expected from Snowflake central.
Baron von Quiply Deniro is a lib jackass but I don’t want him killed. That just makes the right stoop the low of the left.
The way they treated him special is so disgusting! How corrupt and sick!
I like how the cops reasoning for following protocol is that he’s being recorded
They would let him go crooked fucks
Body cams are the only reason cops follow the law and even then they still often get caught committing crimes. The police code of silence is a criminal conspiracy at its very core.
Yea peeped that out too. He wished he never had it on. It’s great though that they have to wear it and use it to catch messed up shit like this
Rican-X but who exactly is making them wear them, and who is in charge of the recordings.. it’s all bullshit
Or else they would be sucking his DICK!
The Lt. has a sweet 2002 era pickup!! Thing is sweet. Best year for those trucks
Damn, he must be a hardcore alcoholic if hes functional enough to not crash at .36 bac that’s insane
You can see that both officers are terrified for pulling over a police LT! 🤣
Of course they are terrified, their career as police officers is on the line. They need to figure out how to handle the situation, so that they don't get investigated for not handling it properly, while still using their discretion where they can and leaving enough room for the LT to get out of the charges...
Yeah... they really hate to pull him out and do their job only because he is a cop...if not they would not be so nice to a non cop
TEverettReynolds that’s why idiot why should he be let off the hook if he wasn’t white he would’ve been thrown on the ground
Yeah they are way scared and stressed. The guy on the phone seemed mad at them a for the whole thing
@@ug6203 It could be that but stop and think for a moment....If you had to do something negative to a superior who has more power than you at your job and may have way more connections than you on your job your reaction may be similar no matter what your occupation. You may approach the situation the exact same way. You would do everything to cya. In any case this is exactly why cameras are great. These officers turn on the camera and lets other superiors on the phone know that it's running in case they want to overrule them or try anything funny it's on the record.
10 years ago: sorry sir, free to go.
Today: oh f&%k, the camera.
Exactly, but if they could have turned them off, they would have. Coppers wonder why people have a serious problem with them, not to mention, they can't be trusted as far as you can throw the losers. Yes, I absolutely said losers...
Such bull shit. And these guys, when they catch a civilian, they give them the hardest time.
So true
Yeah I know holy fuck 😲 this is the best thing that could have happened in law enforcement, I hope we see more cases like this because I assure you this is happening way more than we know 🙋🏻♂️
Exactly!
Disgusting! They are so afraid of losing their job for holding this drunk accountable like everyone else. A federal law needs to be passed for daily alcohol and drug tests BEFORE they start their shift at all law enforcement facilities
That wouldn't have helped in this situation, the lieutenant wasn't on duty
Stop kissing his ass and do your damn job and treat him like you would anyone else. Watching this video is sickening indeed.
They're doing their jobs. He's a brother. You would probably do the same thing with a family member of yours.
The fact that these cops see all the devastation and bloodshed that DUI crashes cause on a regular basis and yet they still make the decision to drink and get behind the wheel absolutely baffles me.
alcohol doesn't discriminate. .36 is absurdly high. I'm shocked he was able to walk. I had people piss themselves and become non functional or dangerously unstable well before 3.0, so the guy is probably an at home drinking pro.
A lot of them drink to deal with the crap that they have to see and deal with. No one is immune to the impacts of mental health.
@@lilmzjinxNo excuse for them to do it and then get behind the wheel & risk lives.
Because they are like everyone else that drives drunk, they don’t believe it will happen to them.
Yeah bc they have narcissistic traits so they feel entitled to do whatever they want. They’re allowed to & nobody else is. Classic signs of a narcissist.
Now we know if it wasn’t for body cams every drunk cop would be let go
Haha buuuulll shiiiit they probably just study their daily driver cars now and just let them go 🚶pigs let pigs roam around in the mud
And if there were no body cams more cops would set up, hurt, kill, lie on more innocent people.
@@james4592225 kinda sounds like bullshit lol

@@Hank.. with the last name of Wimbleton you must be a cop lover 😆
