*The drunk driver gets a B- because, although he was drunk, he wasn’t as bad as he can get*
😂😂
😄
Lmao!. Cheers!.
He also did a better job than most sober people at not giving the cops ammo against him, just answering "yes" and "no" most of the time
Lmfaoooo. Best comment!
I believe that lady may have called the police, but changed her story after seeing her bosses erratic behavior 😅
nahh I personally think it was a different customer but she took credit for it when he assumed it was her when he walks in you can see it on her face she doesen't know what's going on.
erratic? you try owning a liquor store that the cops are constantly at. Policiing is normal but harassing specific businesses to the point where its hurting the establishment is ridiculous. Catch them on the road not in their parking lot
@@copeharderbro I can't go off of anything other than what's in this video, and what's in this video is liquor store owner protecting a drunk driver.
@@jearrico Drunk but not a driver. Specifically not a driver. And drunk people are still people. Branding them with a crime doesn't get rid of their personhood. So yeah, what you saw was someone defending someone who was about to be taken advantage of.
@@existenceisrelativetaken advantage of?
You do understand that reasonable inference is totally allowed under the law, correct? This guy isn’t being taken advantage of. He broke a law that is entirely reasonable and designed to protect citizens. I’m not a big police fan, but I’m not going to run around claiming people who are very obviously driving while completely hammered are victims (and no, especially NOT when they drove drunk to a liquor store).
14:23 my man is in the back of the patrol unit laughing it up asking "what was that about?" While the cop gets bitched at!🤣
The drunkard going "Wow! What the fuck was that about?!" is the funniest thing about this interaction. Like even the smashed driver is stunned.
😂
Drunkard? Narcissist much?
That was an epic moment. I laughed my ass off to then.
"It's whatever" coolest response to not fuel any fire
the toothless witness smoking a cigarette at a gas station was also pretty funny. Quite the town they have there
Best lines ever:
COP: "Sir, you are obviously intoxicated"
SUSPECT: "Not as bad as I can get."
😂😂
Yeah, that line really killed me, too. He like "If you bust my ass anyway, I'd at least like being on the highest level of 'being wasted' as possible, hrmpf."
Well hes not a tyrant cop at least Good job cop
That line is deeper than it sounds 😅😂😂
Haha...so funny. He could have killed someone while driving drunk. Haha.
“Sir you are obviously drunk”
“Not as bad as I can get”
As a resident of Missouri this is by far the most Missouri interaction this whole thing
Agreed this right here is the average rural Missouri resident right there
As Missouri as Missouri gets.
Ouch. I grew up out there, and worked ambulance out in the county. This cop was a *saint*, and the casual acceptance of drunk driving as part of life is also typical of the community.
Missouri is a despicable place, I would never set food there.
@@Henry-yf2np it’s not that bad if you’re in the right area
So good to see an actually competent law enforcement officer
That cop has the highest level of patience I’ve ever seen. Props to him. 💯
The cashier lady switched up so fast when the owner came in. She literally just thanked the cop for coming moments before
Meth will do that to you. I Put in a report to the fbi about the police in this city, the owner and mayor are going to prison.
Then that dickheads going to call the cop a liar.
I know I feel so bad for her. The owner is definitely pressured her
The officer lied about her making the call in order to convince the owner to give the footage.. this is 100% legal for police to lie to get info ...
@@kevinduprey9326 impressive how you are really showing your bias in this assertion. Its more likely she lied to the owner that she didn't call the police.
You literally see the owners saying having cops nearby is bad for business, if she said she had called the cops its her job that is on the line.
Imagine being a cop and going viral on Audit the Audit... by getting an A+ :)
cops can legally lie to you when you've done nothing wrong, that's not something to be happy about
@@TheLoneCamper an honorable cop would want to stop an impaired driver from getting on tje road FIRST, and making an arrest second
It's only gonna be *imaginary*
Yep, he did his job, though I found the released statement that he should be commended for an extremely challenging situation is ridiculous. Investigating/arresting an obviously drunk dude is the every day ho-hum aspect of the job. The sad implication is that most other officers would have escalated the situation and committed official misconduct. But, yeah, let’s heap praise on a dude just for performing a basic job function without violence or civil rights abuses.
Imagine giving a cop A+ for blatantly lying and trying to arrest a drunk person for no reason. God I hate you people.
Fantastic example of an officer rising to the challenge of hostile interactions and acting instead of reacting. He even had a compassionate way of dealing with the drunk being gentle with him. Well done officer!
Other than the fact that all this could've been avoided if he had just waited 2 minutes for him to start the car.
That drunk guy got so damn lucky because he totally could have been sent to jail on DUI. Props to the officer though for staying cool, especially when Mr. Baseball cap was shouting at him at the top of his lungs. That man was either on drugs, drunk himself or has so severe anger issues. At least the drunk guy was pretty chill the entire time lol.
Or he's sick of that cop harassing people... which he mentioned they(police) have been kicked off another property it seems like it's a non stop thing. God knows what shady stuff that guy does but it's very clear they want nothing at all to do with him and that's pretty telling
I’m upset the drunk driver wasn’t charged. He’s totally going to do it again because he wasn’t punished at all
@@maker0824 Well it sounded like the second officer had arrested him the day before for the very same thing. So presumably once those charges work their way through the system he would face punishment.
Oh no, how dare police keep our streets safe by cracking down on degenerates who go out and drive while intoxicated.@@jlo7770
@jhs3184 Right because criminals are never repeat offenders and after they are caught strictly follow all laws.
You left out the best part where the intoxicated guy was like he shouldn't talk to you like that. He offered to go kick the butt of the guy yelling at the cop. It was funny as heck.
lol if this is real thats probably why the let him go!
@@Rickster151413 he let him go because he wasn’t able to see if the guy drove or not so he wasn’t able to arrest him and he let him walk home
@@Rickster151413 yea I've been seeing this video since the story came out. Mostly on tik toks. If you got tik tok go look it up, it's worth the laugh
Link!!!
@@DT71361 you didn't watch the video or listen to the law explanation apparently
the owner of the liquor being the mayor that wont cooperate with police was a plot twist i was not expecting lol
yeah I can only imagine how that kind of attitude impacts other facets of the town
The mayor was worried more about his business than helping the police. He might not be mayor for life, but he can own that liquor store for life. He’s looking long term.
And he's down to fight the tyrannical overreaching government. He's got my vote for president. FUCK being mayor, president walker will save america.
@@JeffOnhill A mayor that ignored a drunk driver for his own monetary gain! That's fucked up! Dosent give a shit it anyone got killed by that drunk driver
@@vikings844 boo hoo 😢 your cops should have waited until they had actual proof instead of being a tyrant and trying to use private infrastructure to benefit the states needs. He very easily could have waited until the guy drove off, but no, he chose to use the private business as his weapon to catch his criminal. Should guy have gone to jail, absofuckinglutely, he was sauced off his rocker. Should the state have to actually catch him about to, has committed crime, or is in the process of committing a crime.
Down with tyranny and overreaching government. Up with upstanding citizens standing up for their rights and police doing their job the right way.
It’s very nice to see a policeman keeping a confrontation professional.
I hope you're being sarcastic. That police officer was way out of line
@@imogen1how exactly?
No he wasn't learn the law before u qq, he was very professional. The Mayor was outta line. @@imogen1
Doing stuff like this is how you turn a good cop into a bad one. Too many interactions like this could make him adopt a cops vs public mentality instead of the serve and protect the public mentality he currently has.
Even an A+ cop (like this) is still a tyrant. 🐷🐷
Get a job.@@thesunris
I lost it when the drunk guy said “wow what tf was that about”😂😂he sat in the back of a cop car thinking he was goin to jail and the next minute he looks over to watch a cop get yelled at for what he doesn’t know but he’s being let out of the car and told to walk home drunk😂
😂😂
Lol, the police could have brought the drunk guy home😅
Why would they want their best customer to go to jail lol
😆😆😆
😂😂😂
can the cop lied saying that she called
@@diesellove yeah. Cops are legally allowed to lie to you. In any situation.
But, personally, I don’t think the officer meant to lie. Someone did call, I think he was just confused about who called
Because he would be out the next day
Please share more videos like this! It's nice to see officer get an A rating and hopefully this best practices can be taught to other officer who watch your channel or atleast shared to officers. 🙂
Every video on this channel could be shared law enforcement, not just the ones where officers get an a rating, but especially the ones where they get an F
For real, this is the first time im seeing an officer get a higher rating than the citizen
That was hilarious. The lady totally changed her story when boss man showed up.😂😂😂
The owner and mayor were thinking, “We’re going to lose our best customer if this cop gets the footage!”
Yeah, and possibly the employee almost lost their job over it too (if it was her or the other female)
More likely they were thinking about the regular harassment and abuse they deal with at the hands of police. When people react to police at the rare times they are "doing the right thing" it is because of all the times police have failed to do so in the past. Reactions like this are fully justified and are caused by the daily actions of police toward their victims.
@@Don-mi6zl Only if it has been the same cop, else it is projection, and the same thing as when cops thread certan people different that others.
Might be understandable, but not justified.
@@Don-mi6zl While the Officer here does seem to be behaving quite properly and in a very civil manner, there does appear to be more going on here. @12:50 "...And you sat across the road over here the other day for an hour and fifteen minutes watching my place..." @13:36 "...I told you that at one business, I'm telling you with this one..." It seems the owner has had previous encounters with the Officer. The Officer may be using the location as a speed-trap (Which would certainly hurt business). Or there may be some kind of harassment involved. The owner certainly comes in very much like someone that has been harassed before...
@@_XR40_ It seemed like the cop also mentioned that the mayor may have asked him to be there at some point...wasn't too clear, but he tried to mention something of the sort. In any case, you can state your case without being a psycho. The owner acted like a child and a freak, there is no justification...even if your buddy is the "mayor".
Cop: "You are obviously intoxicated."
Drunk: "Not as bad as I can get."
Only honest one there, between the cops and him.
Don't think I'd go around bragging about that.
Sounded like a challenge? Oh officer you haven't seen anything yet! Lol.
Been there too buddy...
If he's anything like I was, and all evidence suggests so, he said that with despair and resignation to his fate. I hope he finds his way to sobriety too, for his sake and his community's.
Legally speaking, that statement was an admission of guilt, and the cop absolutely had grounds for an arrest.
Give that officer a bonus! Like seriously, he saved his city thousands in legal fees, a potential crash, loss of life, and thousands in legal fees by respecting the rights of the business owners. Plus this man is a saint throughout this interaction. Give that man a cut of all the money he saved his community.
Reward the good, punish the bad and see how fast policing changes in America for the better.
Back2Basic: entitlement of officers shortcuts Never held accountable!!😊
So were just going to ignore the threat he made? Pretty low bar you have for officers apparently.
@@John-ke2jm Yep, I'll take the small wins, cuz the rest of these assholes are waaaaaay worse lol
So letting a drunk driver go is a good thing? That officer tried to perform his duty to protect the public. I wonder what you would do if that drunk driver killed one of your loved ones
@@macbuff81The officer did not have evidence to arrest the drunk, so he did his duty in protecting his community by keeping him from driving his vehicle.
Just because I don't want drunk drivers does not mean I get to trample on people's rights and skirt the law to make an arrest. Because, and this is important, it won't stick and we will have sacrificed our rights and freedoms for nothing.
Now this officer kept the peace, was a saint when being berated, and still got the outcome he wanted, getting the drunk man to not drive.
Try again.
The owner is under NO obligation to give evidence against customers to police without a warrant. Cop should have gotten a warrant.
Imagine being wasted and the mayor vouches for you😂
Because he’s greedy
Or maybe he’s just as tired of cops being road pirates taking people’s money as citizens are.
Imagine the ignorance required for one to be blind about Constitutional rights. No one is required to provide shortcuts around Constitutional rights. Want a private video? Easy, just get a warrant as the law requires.
@@darrenlee2775 amen. I’m a business owner and the police WILL encourage, pressure or illegally compel you to provide evidence to them for even the most minor infractions.
There's a clear conflict of interest with that mayor. While he should be a moral figure head he instead is more concerned about protecting illicit activity of his customer base.
I've been forced off the road by a drunk driver and had a family member hurt by one. I don't think this would have unfolded this way if the owner of the liquor store wasn't also the mayor.
Often these videos see an ugly abuse of power from the police involved but in this scenario you see an ugly abuse of power from a scummy mayor.
The attitude change from the employee from when the officer arrived to when her boss arrived seemed like a 180.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the drunk driver is this business owner's best customer and he don't wanna lose him.
@@Seattle.Eastside.Aerialshe probably knew who it was based on the situation lol the dude got arrested the day before so it seems like he’s always like this and it’s the best customer the owner would know how he is
@@Seattle.Eastside.Aerials In that kind of situation, the Mayor knows the guy's truck. Trust me. lol
''Get over here. They're arresting Frank... FRANK for godsake !!!''
I disagree, I think the owner and the manager have had issues with the coward cops. He did say that they were "stalking" his place and interfering with his business.
@@Jabagenia lol, right?
The Mayor and a random shop owner shop up to a police interaction and immediately start raging mad, I can't imagine the corruption going on in that town. Genuinely a great police officer.
According to something I heard the Mayor say... apparently AN officer was parked across the street from the store the day before, possibly harassing customers? And he's had problems with officers parking across the street from other businesses and possibly harassing customers? If that is the case, then perhaps there is more to this situation than we've been allowed to see.
@@sdmcdaniel2255 Maybe the cashier lady just does this for kicks?
It’s a corrupt town bc the mayor chooses to protect its citizens? Gtfoh. The guy didn’t drive home. End of story.
@@TheMactone you should seek help.
@@TheMactoneprotecting citizens by ensuring police can't catch drunk drivers who shop at the mayor's liquor store? You are r3t4rd3d
store owner sounds like he hiding something 👀
I believe there's more going on between these guys and this officer than just this incident
There has to be, they were annoyed when they got there and referenced past events.
Agreed. The cop even admitted to parking across the street to "monitor speed". In a small town with only two liquor focused convenience stores, that seems like a suspicious coincidence.
Like Maybe waiting for anybody to buy alcohol and follows them and stops them
There clearly is, the dude even said they've told him to leave in the past. Cops do this fairly regularly, they'll sit outside of beer places or bars, and harass the patrons, even if they're not driving drunk. I lived across the street from a bar and seen this very thing happen. Cops were always parked in my parking lot watching the bar, later met the bar owner only to find out it was severely hurting his business to the point everyone went elsewhere to avoid being harassed by the police.
The reason why they were pissed he's there doing what he's doing, is because he's harassing their customers, and probably not just the ones who are actually drunk driving. THEN on top of all that he demands the dude take time out of his day to get security footage, telling him that he wouldn't wait until the morning, AND the dude lied to their face.
they're ignorant hillbillies, that's what's going on. I'd bet a thousand dollars made have turned over that video if the driver was black
The drunk guy was the most responsible guy in this interaction lol. He managed to get out of this mess without arrest, absolutely genius. His last comment: what was that all about?. This guy is a true diplomat. 😂
Cop: "Sir, you're obviously intoxicated."
Drunk guy: "Not as bad as I can get!"
If only he was a more responsible drinker. Everyone involved knew that he drove to the liquor store. And while the risk to society might not be as great as in a more populated area he should know better.
😂😂
Any cop I know would never have confronted the drunk guy in the store. The drunk guy wouldn't have made it to the street, but he would have been allowed to get in the car and operate it long enough for the officer to witness the crime. I watched county sheriff deputies (back home) interact (on the side of the road) with a drunk guy who ran his truck into a ditch for nearly an hour. As soon as the tow truck got the truck out of the ditch, they watched the drunk get behind the wheel (of a seriously smashed up, almost undriveable) vehicle to go home. They instantly arrested him for DUI. Officer gets an A+ for professionalism and an F- for intelligence/common sense. He knew (from the store owners own words) who he was dealing with in that store, and also knew that the simple act of getting behind the wheel and starting the car would have put the defendant in the drunk tank with a future court date for DUI.
@@bobbipson8906 If they deliberately allow a drunk guy to get behind that wheel so they can arrest him, that's not a good thing at all. If they can't stop him quickly before he drives away, he could potentially drive into another vehicle and kill another citizen.
My father was mayor of our small town and an upstanding law abiding man and former Marine. He surprised me years later in a conversation about the town police, told me cops were thugs.
Officer: "Is that your car out front?"
Suspect: "Yep!" _3_ _seconds_ _later_ "I ain't been driving!"
Drunk people never fail to disappoint.😂
There's zero evidence shown that he was drinking before he got there, especially when he gets caught lying about who called and pretty much caused the guy to get pissed. Cops can't keep blatantly lying and then act all confused why people don't trust them. The CZcamsrs trying to show good interaction, do themselves a disservice by ignoring the cops lies and the anger a police officer lying about a case can cause.
@@NoMoreBsPlease The officer was too quick to assume it was one of the employees who made that call. He could also have misunderstood, and not intentionally lied about it.
And that one guy was fuming and pissed before he even started talking, I wouldn't count on his perception or understanding of the situation in any capacity.
And I am completely disagreeing with you on you latter statement. This channel in particular showcase both the good and the bad. If you only show the wrongdoings, that's a massive disservice to communities with good relationships between the police and the citizens.
Ignoring either side is obviously bad, but this channel is not guilty of that from the several videos I've seen. There are multiple cases shown on this channel were the police are in the wrong, as well as the other way around.
Well, that could be easy to explain. He could, in lack of video evidence, has told that the car has been there for many days which he could not remember because he was drunk. Thats sufficient reasonable doubt right there. I hate DUI as much as anybody, but the drunk man should get a A- for sticking to his story and not telling too much.
I tried to show a local cop a video of property being broken at our house and was given the story that my video did not matter because he did not see the actual event take place & i was like thats what the video is for .
Funny how they pick and choose when to watch a video and when to use it in their favor .
They love to sit by restaurants or restaurant/bars , filling stations they get the most bang for the buck/ time of investigating with a hospital and team of court members that have their backs.. real deep investigation is not their forte or training, think a few months what can they possibly know it’s mainly costume and force
Try small claims court. Video does matter.
Whew just goes to show you how messed up LEO are.
😂😂😂😂 learn the law for your own benefit
That's like saying they can't investigate a murder because they didn't see it
That drunk guy could not get any luckier than he got. Holy shit he got arrested at the one place the cop and owner have beef
True lmao, but i have to side with the owner here- A cop sitting there constantly harassing patrons is damaging the business, it’s like spawn camping in a video game, ruins the game all together. he shouldn’t harass the business, just go after those who are drunk driving on the road.
@@johnnylego807 Ruins the game of.. what? Drunk driving? The cop wouldn't be there if he got no arrests sitting there.
@J common sense isn’t so common geez
I’m blown away at that
@@johnnylego807 a church near my house keeps their parking lot chained off when closed because cops would sit there for speeders.
If the mayor had not been there, this problem would have escalated out of control...
I can only imagine what goes on in this town with a mayor like this. Just wow he did say he thought they were watching his place. Maybe he’s under investigation.
Noooo you missed the best part of this interaction. The drunk guy after he asked what it was all about offered to beat the store owner up for the police officer
amazing poetry
That was hilarious! "Take me to him, I'll whoop that ass!"
Loved when he said "how TF you let a man talk to you like THAT?"
Oh my god. How could he leave that out?
I just HAD to look it up to see for myself, that was hilarious 😂
The drunk guy gets a B, although he was clearly drunk, he maintained a calm and respectful attitude and ultimately got saved by the mayor and business owner, therefore avoided getting arrested again!
The town drunk is great for local business
Let's hope he learned from this close call with law enforcement.
Saved here isn’t a good thing, he was a drunkard with a reckless mindset (driving). He deserved to be arrested so he wouldn’t be a danger to everyone else and could work on his problems in jail
This is one thing that I truly appreciate ATA for. The goal is to preserve public safety which an arrest can do, but always applaud when the police don’t arrest someone but prevent them for engaging in dangerous activities as seen here. The drunk did not drive away and as he had already been arrested the subsequent arrest would likely have little to no further deterrent effect.
That’s an amazing example of how all officers should conduct themselves. A+
Well done officer Jordan you were very professional in carrying out your duties professionally
I was a law enforcement officer for 2.5 years. I wish our annual in-service training was this in depth in regards to new court cases, court decisions, and law revisions.
The public does too :)
Which is why you are good at watching anime and reading manga. Better to stay away from politics or having to arrest a drunk mayor or governor for a DUI or DWI.
if ur cop then u know acording to supreme court rulling u have right to refuse to id and right to refuse to take any blood or brethilizer test without resibal suppison of him commiting a crime and he said she said is not resibal suppison so just cus 1 person or few people say hes drunk not resibal suppison and as a cop u should know 1 u took a oath to uphold this rights and law 2nd to last and that it gose rights proceed over fedral and state law then fedral proceed over state law and state law proceed over well u should know cus after all u said ur a cop or ware u a pig a pig is a cop that rases and or tyrent a cop is a person that do there job properly and up hold there oath thay took

I've commented before that police training should include a mandatory of 50 hours (or other amount of hours, the more the better,) of watching Audit the Audit. I think it would put a new dimension in training as far as law and sociology goes. Especially videos that include results of these interactions.
Even the drunk was shocked about what happened lol
I thought there was a law for buying liquor. You cant sell to an intoxicated customer
Just wanna say thank you for all the effort you put into these videos, really good content and highly informative, I learn a lot and always look forward to watching your videos thank you
I wonder what kind of previous interactions those two gentlemen had with that department to elicit such a strong reaction from them.
Sounds like the irate owner has dismissed the office off other business property he owns, in a prior circumstance 🤔 There's definitely more to the story.
Pretty sure I know. They sell booze to drunks that sometimes come by car. The police interfers with that lucrative business... Thats why they don't want to hand out the footage and want to protect the guy while not caring about the safety of anyone else that has to drive on the same roads...
Nothing gentle about those men. I dont have loyalty or love to cops but this cop was extreamly polite and respectful. Where as a mayor exploding like this just tells me whoever put him in charge is moronic.
Yea in the clip the Owner is berating the police officer for his other shop and how they Sit near their business watching customers..I guess they get a lot of "Drink Drivers" buying booze from them but since the cops are pretty much "harassing" them by parking nearby to observe patrons leaving and such....its caused them to loose business as customers stay away or go elsewhere..
@@FatedGamer How was the cop being polite and respectful when he was lying trying to get the footahe?
I was out in eastern Long Island and got pulled over by a local town cop around 10pm. He asked me how much I had been drinking and I said none. In fact I hadn’t had a drink in 15years and told him that. Which pissed him off. He told me that being a wise ass would get me thrown in jail. I gave to him 3 breathalyzer test and showed no alcohol and I said how did you smell alcohol on me! He then pushed me into the front of his car and handcuffed me! I volunteered to give a blood test and off we went to the hospital. At that time I had cancer and was taking meds but none were narcotics so I wasn’t concerned. I spent the night in jail and had a bail of $500 . When I went to court I was amazed that the judge wanted me to take a drug/alcohol course which I said “For what?? No drugs or alcohol in my body???? “ The judge didn’t care he wanted me in that course because it was $800 and you might have to do a secondary course depending on how you do in the first course. The judge said that because I had a previous DWI is the reason for this sentence. I foolishly said “Judge are you saying that because I had a DWI 27years ago and now got arrested for DUI with no alcohol or drugs in my system I have to go to this 8 week course?” He said Yes you do! I asked him is there any other way? He said he could suspend my license for 90 days and I said GREAT that’s what I will do. So I drove around and never got pulled over and when I went to DMV to renew my license they charged me $700 to get it back. It’s all about the $$$ nothing else!
The law enforcement and judicial system is indistinguishable from the mafia. They spend their working hours to steal your money and time. They take it without compensation, even when you were never in the wrong. The only recourse is to have the financial capacity to go against them in court which is not an option in the first place, and you'll once again pay for that with your money and time.
You should have hired the DUI guy or asked for a jury trial! Never get trial by judge or plead out!.. All my cases have been thrown out the day of the jury trial, they HATE doing jury trials and 9 times out of 10 if it isn't a slam dunk case they just dismiss it...
Mark, I learned something just last month and that is these court fees & fines are used to pay for judges pensions so if they (a judge) lack integrity they will make you come to their court as many times as they can because it is an investment in their own pension !!

In 2009, I was in a Pennsylvania state liquor store. They were offering "samples" of some tequila. I politely refused and turned the corner of the aisle to see a State Trooper just hanging out in the store. I never went back to that particular store. Talk about entrapping customers.
and this is what im talking about they use the liquor stores for bait to gain revenues that's been going on sense prohibition , bars and liquor stores been fighting this every sense

You know it's bad when the Mayor doesn't want anything to do with cops. We know one guy got away with a DUI.
Dui is a bs charge anyways.
Just another infraction on our rights.
Also really bad when a cop who should have arrested the guy but didn't gets an A+.
Safety was assured for that ONE night his car was towed, but ideally his driver's license should have been revoked with jail time, insurance rate hike, a strike on his record, etc.
It's interesting when a cop arrests somebody by not knowing the law he gets an F, but if a cop doesn't arrest somebody for not knowing the law he gets an A+.
@MJ so women can't consent to sex when they are impaired, but anyone can be interrogated by cops who can legally lie to you to get you to incriminate yourself while impaired . Oh the hypocrisy.
Just sitting across from the liquor store for an hour and a half. You can't sit across from a bar as a cop in missouri either. I'm sure the owner of the liquor store told the drunkard don't ever come here intoxicated again or we will refuse to sell to you.

In the UK the police could not have arrested a member of the public for being drunk, unless he was in his vehicle, opening his vehicle, or driving his vehicle

Imagine being a business owner AND MAYOR only worried about sales instead of a individuals life. Makes me sick. What store is this ? We should boycott it.
Even for a drunk, he was able to weave through the cops questions. Answering some and avoiding the incriminating ones. It was kinda impressive. Of course, I'm not condoning it, but considering he was obviously drunk he didn't slip.

The difference on how somebody with money and power talk to the police against normal people is incredible. Is like there are two legal systems.
This is spot on
In fact, is 2 legal system. Ask Democrats…
It isn't just the money/power dynamic here, what shows SO solidly is the racial aspect. Both the suspect and the owners are white, middle aged (ish) guys, and no one even got a stern word said to them... bet all the $ if either the suspect or the abusive owner were non-white there would have been a rather different outcome. That being said this Officer Jordan does seem a rarity, so maybe I am wrong and he would've treated them the same no matter.

I guess that's what happens when you ruin the mayor's business and "make" them come into said business to help you protect innocent drivers.
"These cameras aren't for you"? They'd be singing a different tune if they were getting robbed. Also, if they're selling alcohol to someone who is clearly intoxicated and about to get back behind the wheel, they can lose their liquor license. Props to the cop for staying calm, cool, and collected.
I am guessing the cops never have to attend any 911 calls to that property again.
I would have loved to see you give the drunk guy a rating at the end 😂
My thoughts exactly !! While he was clearly drunk, he gets an A- for knowing his rights and not provoking this situation 😂
You can't really rate those under the influence of alcohol or drugs using the same system as sober minded people.

Maybe the cop constantly lurks around just looking to arrest people in wich case I would also be annoyed.
thank you for your great work handling such interactions officers
Cop: what's your name sir?
Suspect: no
It's hilarious that an officer can rely upon an anonymous person's report - a person who may or may not exist - to produce probable cause for a detention and arrest, but that the same evidence from the dashcam or video camera of an ordinary citizen is not enough to produce any police response.
It's a wild world we live in.
Yeah, imagine someone telling the police that they saw a clearly drunk guy in a liquor store trying to buy more alcohol, and the police just show up and confirm it.

I was thinking the cops had the "audacity" to pull over the mayor and/or owner drunk at some point and try to hold them accountable. This seems like one of those rural towns that thinks drunk driving is no big deal.
It blows my mind that exercising rights to refuse can make things worse. Seems like it's not much of a right
That’s all sorts of tricky. Pleading the fifth cannot be used against you, but certain other refusals can. Refusing the breath test alone would be insufficient, but can contribute to the probable cause. In this case though I’d argue that there is sufficient probable cause for an arrest even without that consideration. Between the presence of his car, the behavior, the witness statement, and the smell of alcohol there is sufficient probable cause for the arrest. Remember, probable cause does not mean sufficient for a conviction. Failure to prosecute or obtain a conviction at trial does not mean an arrest was unlawful.
reffering to the driver:
Would you like both your baby daughter and your wife to get blasted on a fricking sidewalk by a drunk driver? I wouldn't.
If one is stoned and refuses to take a fcking 5-second test, they can be subjected to other, forced methods to determine their state of intoxication (or lack there of). The idea is simple: it's not a privacy thing, so if you are indeed innocent, you will take it as a good and caring citizen, because fck drunk drivers.
reffering to the owner:
If you care more about a few bucks and/or a shady bussiness you have on the back, then yes, refuse a guy viewing your fcking precious tapes for 5 minutes.
The officer respected his tapes and the person behaved like a lil bitch, so no: you might have your fcking rights exercised, but you are not in THE right here. (as in me talking to the owner, not you)

For real everyone claiming the drunk and owner are bff's and my only thought process is the guy couldn't care less about the drunk getting arrested or not his only problem is the fact officer dick weed who's been fucking with his other business is now fucking with customers at another business and the fact the auditor gave the excuse only a drunk would be afraid of cops sitting outside a liquor store is ridiculous when he's always giving good examples of why you should be is scary especially since we just got the video the other day of officers camping a pot shop only to arrest people coming out of the store obviously if you see a man getting arrested outside a pot shop/liquor store you aren't gonna wanna buy from that stores.

Imagine being a mayor and letting drunk drivers loose in the city you manage.
I didn’t even think about it like that. He’s more of a business man than a mayor
He didn't let any drunk driver loose. He let a person who was previously driving and on foot go home. The guy didn't wreck, didn't hurt a soul. He made sure he didn't get back behind the wheel and showed him mercy and grace. Not every drunk driver is a murderer or even a threat. Case in point, I go snowboarding every year, I can drink way past the "legal limit" and fly down a mountain at 60+mph, precisely land on rails, etc. So driving a car is a simple task. I get why the laws are in place , but they are abused by police and enforced incorrectly. I would estimate I'm a better driver even while intoxicated than over 50% of sober drivers. Because I actually pay attention, respect the dangers associated with driving and actually took the time to learn how to drive. We just hand so many people driver's license with barely any knowledge, then they don't pay attention, they don't understand the danger of what happens in a car crash, they drive selfishly, play on their phones, etc. Everyone definitely has a point of where they can't drive after drinking but it's definitely not where the law claims, atleast for me. With all that said I don't drink and drive not because I can't, but because I don't want to go to jail and truthfully don't really even drink anymore, but this will always upset me just like that stupid seatbelt law........got to go ride my Sport Bike now with no seat belt , doors or roof.

There was history between this officer and the store owners with more than one business.
Still doesn't give them the right to cuss them out when they're trying to investigate a call about a drunk driver. They seem to forget, that if that guy had left and got into an accident, they are liable and could lose their liquor license. So they do have a responsibility to keep drunk drivers off the road.
@Justin Maring how does it feel to be so incorrect about something
@@jyster18 They have every right to cuss the officers out and tell them to leave.. They shouldn't have, it shows their negligence. But it's entirely within their rights as they did not break any laws and are entitled to tell the officers to leave their property unless a warrant is served.
@@TehLastRonin I agree. They do have the freedom to cuss them out. But as far as letting a drunk driver operate a vehicle off their property. idk what the law of texas is on that, but i know in my state, every business has the right to refuse service if they believe a person is too intoxicated to drive, and if we did sell to that customer, and they got into an accident, we as a business are liable, and face charges for it. Stuff like that varies from state to state, so as i said, im not entirely too sure on what the law is in houston texas.
@@fuccjkole8524 In my state thats what happens. Sorry, Im unfamiliar with texas law in this kinds of scenarios. I'm just using my knowledge from what I know about my state that I live in. Am I wrong?

Drunk Guy: “WOW…what was that about”?! 😂
Nothing said about the cop going into the guys pocket for his wallet, and retrieving it, while he was still only detained.
Big miss.
Eh, you are lawfully required to ID when there is RAS of a crime. He was detained under RAS of DUI, and is thus lawfully required to ID. He intentionally failed to do so which is obstruction (misdemeanor crime). Police are legally authorized to search an arrested person, and he was in clear violation of the law and was subject to arrest.
Basically had the cop said, "fine, you're under arrest" you would have had nothing to comment on.
Yes he was not technically under arrest, but he could have been and the cop used discretion to not go beyond the required level of force in issuing an arrest when it is far less intrusive to simply just get the wallet he would have got post-arrest.
@Cryptic Cobra not always. In some states you must be lawfully arrested before you're required to ID. RAS is required to detain but isn't a pass to do more then a Terry stop which is a pat down frisk for weapons for officer safety. A wallet isn't a weapon. Going into the pocket without consent or reasonable determination of a weapon is still a no no. Again state by state. In most cases though going into a pocket for ID during detention is a fail. As far as the obstructing charge, refusing to assist the officers in building a case is not an obstruction. Most states detail that a physical act is required to obstruct (flushing drugs, bleaching a bloody knife, physically impeding or restraining the cop, etc...). IF the demand for ID was legal in this state and circumstance they might be able to hit him with failure to follow a lawful order which is typically a much lesser charge.
The cop knew he could get away with it, they already knew who he was too.
@@222valas
Yep. And even though some states are considered “stop and ID”, they still need RAS to get your ID. Because if they didn’t, cops would stand at the door of Walmart asking for everyone’s ID as they walked out the door to run them for warrants. In Texas penal code 38.02 says you only have to ID when you’ve been LAWFULLY ARRESTED. There is no law in ANY state that says we have to ID because a cop asked nicely. 😂😂
Hear say is not RAS to arrest someone or get their ID.

“As the mayor, I want you to watch traffic, but not across from my store.” Perfect sense.
He basically wants him to stay away from his business so he'll get customers. People wanna stay away if they see the police
Police use their presence as intimidation tactics.
And as an officer you can politely fuck off because you dont own the business across the street. Have a good day.
I think it's important for police to establish a good rapport with the public and especially with the business community. As mayor, the business owner should have contacted the Sheriff and had a conversation about the officer consistently parking across from the store. They could have worked together to resolve the issue rather than allowing it to become adversarial. This is where police get it wrong. They should work with the community, not against them.
@@falconquest2068 However, according to the conversation we can see from the body cam, the mayor had asked the officer to watch the traffic, and wherever he set up was presumably the patch of road meant by the mayor, as the 'trouble spot'. The mayor basically threw the cop under the bus by falsely claiming in front of his business partner that he didn't mean to set up there. If the mayor really didn't want the cop to set up there, he could have clarified his request _to the cop._
