Cop was obviously mad the guy told the homeowner they did not have to open the door, and made a decision to follow him, invent a reason for pulling him over, and arresting him even though he completed field sobriety tests. Clear abuse of power and violation of rights. This cop should be fired.
@Dave Martin , you obviously didn't even watch the video. The cop is a Lt - not a Sgt. This Lt is a Brady Cop. He clearly lied under oath. His testimony will be impeached be every defense attorney going forward. THIS is why people need to record all interactions with cop. If a video had suddenly appeared of the cops saying "We can most certainly kick you out" then this cop would have been fired and charged with perjury. That is why cops HATE cameras so much - including their own body cameras.
@Mark Turner we have further tests at the station here as well. We can refuse those though. They can bring you to a hospital and get a warrant forcing you to take a blood test.
I dare say he has a tremendous amount of information/training to always be refreshed on so it is unreasonable to expect him to be able to recite every last piece of information to a T. "Having a reasonable understanding" basically means I know basically all the training that I commonly need to make use of, and the extra stuff that I rarely use, while I may be somewhat familiar with it, I may not be able to recall it all on the spot
@@coolnoah8183 That would make sense if he had to continually relearn every bit every few months, after 18 years you learn the Reg's. SOP means Standard Operating Procedures, Standard means normal. If you don't know the Normal procedures after 18 years on force and 8 as a lieutenant you should not have that job. Bad Cop.
And this is why they fight like hell to not wear body cam, so when it's time to go to court they can play with there words and all of a sudden pick memory loss in there story
@Joe Licari you are EXACTLY right but they RARELY EVER are held to that standard mainly because of the ABSURD concept of internal affairs or police ''policing'' themselves ! judges & prosecutors are complicit by not [RARELY ever] prosecuting /charging LEO's when they commit even the most egregious violations of citizens civil rights,violating policy & procedure...the list could go on and on !
Where is the video that proves there was a traffic violation? Officer admitted on the stand , under oath that he called in the alleged D.U.I . Replay this video and listen closely because he calls the police station & the time is recorded at the station & there was no mention of the suspect not using his turn signal as an excuse for a traffic stop violation stop. The only thing called in was for a D.U.I Officer never mentions the traffic violation or that the suspect didn't use his turn signal. That was not even mentioned until the day in court! I believe the officer just claimed a false traffic stop to justify the suspicious O.V.I. However the suspect passed the Field Sobriety Test & the officer still was not satisfied with that result! The officer knew that the driver he pulled over was from the house party where the noise violation occurrence was & the officer admittedly said in court that he followed the defendant. The officer even admitted he seen and observed that same man through an open window near the sided walk at which time he heard the female officer knock on the door, announce her credentials & who she was! And the male officer on the stand said he heard the man ( that same man who he ultimately arrested) say out loud to the person who lived in the apartment , "You don't have to open the door to let them in!" The person living at the residence adhered to the female officer warning & ended the gathering of his friends and asked the guest to leave. The officer on the stand can't visually prove (no video proof) the reason for the traffic violation stop and the officer admitted in court on the stand that the suspect passed the Field Sobriety Tests , yet the officer still placed the suspect under arrest! Why? Because the officer said in court he had a FEELING the suspect was drunk. Did the suspect consent & or refuse to having a blood test ? Was a blood test taken? Did this attorney for the plaintiff win or loose this case? Was the suspect found to be legally drunk? If you are sober, you could fail the field sobriety tests, and only be cleared up after you are arrested and take a breath test. ... The most common misconception to refusing a field sobriety test or a breath test is that if you are to refuse the tests, you would then have your license suspended for a year
Maurice Allen I’m a cop and I love having body cams. Every cop I’ve Ever talked to either liked having body cams or wishes their department had them. Not sure who the “they” is that your talking about.
@T BBigrocker1 cops are suppose to defend your rights and honor them as is there oath, but it is every citizens obligation to fight for and stand for there rights.
I got arrested for a DUI but on their breathalyzer I blew a 0.07. Legal limit was 0.08. Still had to bond out. The bondsman gave me a lawyers card and said he was good. Well after a few calls and emails to the prosecutor the case was dropped. The lawyer only accepted $50 for his efforts. There are still good defense lawyers who want what's best for their clients and are honest and don't rake them over the coals.
I make them feel dumb because I know I'm smarter than alot of them clowns they would hire anyone mostly racist cops they already be knowing there back grounds they play like they don't know it's to many white supremacist on these police force the ones that hire are very much affiliated we the American people are not stupid by far we know what's going on you cant fool us
I have watched a few of these now and its crazy how the driver can pass all the tests yet can still get arrested just because the cop thinks they are drunk.
I've seen many videos where people do great on field sobriety tests. Oftentimes, it just used to build a narrative. They lie about smelling something all the time and exaggerate.
As a prosecutor, I think it should be an obligation that when you see the officer of the law caught in a lie, you should stop the prosecution there. What’s the purpose of moving forward with trying to prosecute the defendant??? It’s a fuxked up system we live in.
James Leahy - Lied about the words he yelled thru the window. Lied about not purposely following the defendant after he left the house. Lied about the alcohol breath. He should be held criminally accountable for these lies. And my point was, that the prosecutor is not a stupid ass. He’s more concerned about winning a case with disregard to someone else’s life/career than finding truth in the matter.
If you were the prosecutor in this case would there have been a point before the trial when you would have known the officer lied? If not and you learned during the trial he lied what would you do right there in the court room?
Joshua Davis - Thats what I’m saying. It should not be frowned upon to drop the charges. But the court system is more interested in collecting cash payments than to hand out true justice. When you go to court as an innocent person, you lose regardless of the outcome. You still pay attorney and court fees. You lose valuable time. Might even lose your job during the case. It happened to my co-worker. Got rehired after the charges were dropped, but still lost about 3 months of pay. It’s truly disgusting and I can’t wait until the real Judge rules over us.
I got pulled over for Drunk Driving, once. I don't drink alcohol at all. A search of my car for marijuana ensued. I don't smoke even cigarettes, and never have. After they found nothing and I passed all the tests, the officer said, and I still remember the exact quote to this day, "Well, Mr. [x], since you've been so cooperative, I'm just going to give you a speeding ticket." There had been no mention of speeding up to that point.
One of the posts here makes a comment about a cop's memory and I realized just how true that is. Seems that a cop's memory is flawless when recounting the actions of someone they've arrested but, when questioned about their own actions, they suddenly have memory loss moments aplenty. So glad we've got you DUI Guy. You give me hope that we still have a defender for the People!
because it's bogus... it's easier for you to recall a memory and the truth than a lie because your mind knows that's not what happened why a person tends to slightly change up their lies or has to take a moment to recall it, not to mention if what he was saying is true he could of taken plenty of notes which he did not
Again I did not understand why these cops go on stand without all their notes somehow there’s a expectation they’re supposed to recall remember everything they did during a DUI stop a year ago? This defendant did not need a DUI lawyer any competent public defender could’ve won this case. Again DUI guy apparently thinks he’s a stud because he’s taking on incompetent small department cops. He needs to go to a large municipality and try taking on a competent Police Department for a DUI case he would have is arrogant ass handed to him pretty quick
@@arkyologist The cop is allowed to read his notes and other documents up until the moment he enters the door to the courtroom. He could've read them for five hours a day, every day for months, until he entered the room to testify.
Yup. Simpleton Old school redneck cop that thinks they're God. Luckily most of these people are retiring now because they can't stand having to be recorded or held accountable for their abhorrent behavior.
Imagine having almost unrestricted power over anybody you see for 18 years. It's like the one ring from Lord of the rings, no matter what you do, it's slowly corrupts you even if you use it for good
Granted I haven’t made it all the way through the entire video but the way that phrase goes does not seem that disingenuous. There’s a difference between somebody passing a sobriety test because they’re sober and somebody who is drunk but is not necessarily showing indicators.
I have seen plenty of people pass field sobriety and still get arrested due to circumstances (I.e. out at 3 in the morning in club clothes, etc.) It is so wrong and people who can’t hire a good attorney get screwed.
You can see his demeanor change once he started being cross examined. He was literally resenting the fact that he was being questioned and pressed, and you could physically see it.
@@ussarng4649 I saw it. The change in his tone, his facial expressions, and the way he defensively answers questions compared to when he was being questioned in the beginning. It isn’t the entire time, it’s only at certain moments when he feels he’s being pressed or challenged. Are you a cop?
Officer Clueless: He did the field sobriety tests correctly, but I still believed that he was not sober. What a complete idiot you made this joker look like!! Fantastic job!!
I have worked in ER's my whole life. I have seen many, many people who can blow a .400 and carry on a perfectly normal conversation and walk a straight line. They're called alcoholics, usually males, who's bodies have been able to develop the massive amounts of alcohol dehydrogenase needed to reduce ETOH needed to keep its passage across the brain-blood barrier in check. I have also seen people, usually women, who can't walk a straight line and slur their speech with a BA of only .040.
Yes, did you notice when he was asked how the man did on the tests? He started to say he passed, and then he changed his answer. I would have pointed that out if I was the lawyer.
Right from the get-go, it had nothing to do with him driving drunk. It was because he had the GALL to stand up for his rights and say they couldn't come in the house. He actually listed that he stood up for his rights as an articulable reason to suspect that he was drunk, along with sitting near some cups. LMAO!!! 🤣😂🤣
I like the fact the lawyer is trying to throw out standard operating procedures. You're basically saying that your client doesn't know how to perform their job.
Wouldn't you think if you had a quiet moment at work you would read laws. I'm not an American , but in my work ignorance is no excuse for not knowing any rules.
@David smith you're pretending that the police academy alone is enough to get a job as a cop, stop lying, unless you're a 12-year-old then you know that's not true. The police academy would be the last step in the development of the qualifications necessary to be a cop, with most departments requiring either a bachelor's degree or military experience, even though military personnel should be barred from lawn enforcement employment for life.
i seen this first hand in my lawsuit. in cross and they only remember things that help them. and things that help them commit crimes they seem to forget being trained in them
How on earth would a Lieutenant know this... pfft. Got butt hurt and had to put the guy in check...great way to win hearts and minds of the public u serve
Can you imagine if a doctor with 18 years of practice says he doesn’t know the hospital policy? At what point these prosecutors realize they are wasting their time prosecuting people based on their incompetent and untrained cops?
You'd be amazed at how many people in the hospital dont know "hospital policy." They may know certain policies that directly relate to a specific circumstance.....but i promise there are plenty they don't know OR they think they know. Some things make sense, and yet the policy is different, but everyone goes on thinking it is something different.
What reason do they have to train cops? Seems like accountability is almost nonexistent, and it's cheaper not to train them. I will say though, not all are bad and do actually do their job.
I'm not sure it's just bad training and incompetence. I agree any time you challenge police, hurt their feelings, etc, they will through the Constitution out the window to hurt you financially or physically because 50% are petty and are drunk on the power the badge gives them. Spitefullness is a key character trait... Even my police friends will admit that.
This happened to me in Georgia once. I exercised my fifth amendment right to remain silent and was harassed relentlessly. Apparently GA law has a loophole that actually does allow police to refuse to let you drive your car even if you pass a sobriety test based on the officer's suspicion alone. It's ridiculous.
that why in europe the breathalyzer is king if you are under the limit you go . I don't know off any ambiguous laws that give power to a officer to blocking you from leaving on is own discretion
Up here in New York the police is helping a convicted felon with covering up a double homicide and using the police to cover up this crime and helping that convicted felon with rigging and arbitration hearing . Also helping to expose truck driver with and deadly carcinogen. @osha is also helping to cover up this crime. The taxpayers is being rip off because osha is suppose to protect the worker but if you have billions osha will look the other way.
Man this defense Esquire is TREMENDOUS. I LOVE Justice! PS my sister is a State's attorney in Chicago. To this day she tells me I taught her all her cross-x tricks that work (I debated in college). I said all that to say, it's situations like this that make me regret ignoring my family and advisers and becoming an electrical engineer and not going to law school. TREMENDOUS! I'd bet that cross examination was more satisfying than making love, for that defense attorney.
That's because cops are arrogant assholes. Even for those "good" cops who honor their community, put them in certain situations where you question their authority or ego they turn into tyrants! And if your a cop reading this, fuck you!

Going to law school out of anger isn’t going to help you out, man. Keep your mind open while you’re there. They’ll retrain you how to think about everything. Then, when you’re done, see where you end up.
Guess we should be happy he didn't shoot anyone. He's just your run-of-the-mill revenge-seeking veteran cop that enjoys criminally processing people for petty grievances.
Failure to use right turn signal at 0300 in the morning..Question: who would he be signaling to? A signal without a recipient is a meaningless gesture..So the reason for the stop is what in legal terms is called "chickenshit"...Or pretexual stop, but chickenshit is clearer.
Makes sense, can't have people putting on makeup without the proper training. Wearing a silly gun, having oversight and control in our society, that shouldn't take more than a few classes...
SyanWolfe Sure,here are my recommendetions.First,all police officers must successfully complete at least two years of university(preferably 4),they should have to be trained along side minority trainees and they must have an IQ above 110. As you know(probably not),it is official policy of police depts. throughout the U.S. to recruit individuals with low IQ's,which goes a long towards explaining the rampant corruption of police depts.
@@syanwolfe7752 Constitution! Training in preserving Constitutional rights at all costs. We could start by having them read the Bill of Rights, beings they swear an oath to uphold it!!!!
Imagine that: A Police Lieutenant does not even know his Department's own standard operating procedures. This LT is a disgrace to his profession and is corrupt and incompetent.
I´m far away of defending the cop, but show me the one guy or girl, which knows a 650 pages pamphlet written in language of law by heart. That´s made from judges and lawyers FOR judges and lawyers and not for a person with normal or slightly subnormal (after 18 years being a traffic cop) intelligence .
“I’ve seen SOME of them.” Somehow, “I’ve read MOST of them.” So, you have actually read procedures you have never seen? At the close to 500 DUI stops you have made in 18 years, which procedure did you follow? One you read but didn’t see and couldn’t remember, or one you never saw, never read, never knew, and only by accident may have actually followed, except in this case?
@@gctcauto the driving infraction mixed with bloodshot eyes, the odor of alcoholic beverages, and slurred speech is enough PC to arrest so no, a great lawyer would not have asked that question.
@@logan3059 Assuming you believe the officer at this point. However the lawyer had already established that according to the officer, he believed someone was commiting a crime and did nothing about it until he had a second, seperate reason to stop them, which raises serious doubt about the truth of the first. If you are 100% confident someone is drunk driving, you don't need to wait for them to fail to signal properly. If I was that lawyer, I would of also raised the issue of the "mean glare" comment. In the prosecution cross examination, he stated that when the suspect drove past he gave him a "mean glare" when they saw each other and he recognized him. Add that to the "im going to follow him and wait for him to do something" then you have a pretty easy argument to make to the Jury that the cop didn't like the guy, and was just looking to make his life difficult. Given the way the law works in the US, if a cop is determined to arrest you they can. Emphasis for this is the debate over if loud music was a civil or criminal complaint, disorderly conduct is... super vauge in the law and can be interpreted to mean anything. Answering an officer back can and has been used by the police as examples and cause for arrest.
so a lieutenant just admitted that he has not read all of his department's standard operating procedures? how did he then become a lieutenant if these are the policies that all officers are required to follow?
The other video proves that he wasn't sober, according to what he blew. The defense is making the statement that, he should not have had to take a breathalyzer test to begin with. He passed a field sobriety test and showed no sings of driving drunk, so they no longer had grounds to say he was drunk. The officer went into the situation with the mindset that he was drunk and came up with bs to make sure he could prove it.
All they have to say is that is what they "believed." A cop can ruin your life with an arrest record (even if dismissed, dropped, or not filed), even though you are totally innocent. They will say you can have it "sealed," but that doesn't count government background checks, and you still have to answer that you have been arrested.
Contempt of cop its a well used statute than the citizens aren't aware of its actually punishable by life in prison without parole if the police push it. *sarcasm*
Nope. He had other indicators (slurred speech, smell of alcohol on his breath) which led to the more accurate test, which, based on the fact that they were in a courtroom, the driver failed. Passing the field sobriety test doesn't mean you're sober, but failing it usually means you're not. That's why they do the field sobriety test first. Also, I didn't feel this was a case of the defense attorney being a beast, but the prosecutor failing in redirect. All he had to do was ask the officer why he decided to arrest the guy and take him in for the other test, and that would have blown up the defense cross.
@SuperGubes I would kind of disagree with you that solely passing the test would be enough, i'm sure some people can do it even if they are over drink driving limit, that being said I would also agree that it's most likely possible for a sober person to "fail" the test. That's why I don't uderstand why would they relay on something like the test , why don't they have things like breathalyzer tests with them in the car? Also did I miss something here, or why are they having this discussion in the first place? Didn't they conduct any kind of blood / breathalyzer test after taking the suspect back to the station?
@@srcetme That's a logical fallacy. A person who fails a field sobriety test is too impaired to operate a motor vehicle, but it does not necessarily follow that a person who passes one is therefore not too impaired. It's like saying all dogs are animals, therefore all animals are dogs.
I'm even more concerned when the lawyer said "You did not stop him from driving despite the fact that you suspected him of being drunk?". I mean.......that's what I want are cops thinking someone is drunk and letting him drive around until he crashes.
They all stick together.. Its disgusting! Also, it only takes 2-3 years MAX to become A Judge!! Blasphemy if u ask me!! Cops dont need any college. Only a H.S diploma or GED & minuscule training. Both are a joke IMO

During direct examination the officer answered quickly. During cross he paused between each question as if he wondered if it was a trick question or how he can get around from answering it. Dad taught me, "Always tell the truth and you don't have to remember what lie you told".
@The Milkman Shall Rise not exactly. If you fail it, it's used to determine fault. If you pass, they can still perform other methods to ascertain fault.
There are a lot of things cops shouldn’t do, but they do it anyway. If a cop does a field test because they suspect you’re drunk, they’re hoping/assuming it will show intoxication because it makes their job easier. They want you to “fail“, they’re not interested in making an objective judgement.
Key word here is BELIEVED. Translation: I don't have to follow procedures. I can break the law, violate people's rights and do whatever I please, I'M A COP.
Had a cop tell the judge he didn't remember the day or the time of the incident but could vividly recall my exact words verbatim! Never talk to cops, always always have a good lawyer
I love how he says "I stopped him for a turn signal violation, and then smelled alcohol", while he JUST testified earlier that he radio'd in a suspected DUI right when he started following him. He just completely contradicted himself, so he's obviously lying.
thats not contradicting. he needs probable cause to actually stop the vehicle, as the guy leaving the party alone isnt enough. he stopped him for a legal reason then was able to confirm his possible dui suspicion when he smelled alcohol.
...the officer could have been making up the fact that he didn't use his turn signal for all we know. Drunk driving sucks so when an officer trumps up charges it's even more infuriating.
They always “smell alcohol “, they always hear “slurred speech “, they always notice “red bloodshot eyes”. It’s baffling. They never pulled over a DUI suspect that didn’t show these signs. What a crock!
Cops find anyone exercising their 4th amendment rights, to be suspicious. When in reality, it bruises their egos. They DO NOT like being told no. And the person who told them no should be taught a lesson. And the cops will escalate from there. Also, they hate when anyone exercise any of our amendments.

I so want this attorney on my pay roll for my family and my well being. Most amazing attorney in the world. I've watched every video you put out and, and wow your beyond amazing at your job.
The lawyer did a great move to pretend it was a civil matter and then let the police officer correct him it was a criminal matter, to then go ahead and expose him for failing to take the correct action over a criminal matter. His face changed when he realised where the lawyer was going with that. 25:00
I wasnt paying attention to the screen while I was listening to this till the cop said "I had my headlights on, I could see himself drive by me, he glared at me." ....the way he said he glared at me....it blew my mind. His answers were normal tone till he said that. I replayed that a couple times. I think he thought him glaring at him was challenging him. Crazy.
From the sounds of it, the cop heard the guy say they didn't have to open the door. Which made the cop go all, "respect muh authoritah", and proceed to pull the guy over to get him for a DUI to teach him some sort of "lesson". In all reality he just wanted to assert his dominance like a petulant child. It also sounds like they may have broke the party up because of the comments in order to flush the guy out and force him to leave. He also said he told the guy, "you have to answer, we're the police", and then later went on to contradict himself by saying he agreed that they didn't have to answer.
How did this cop get away with saying on record he hasn't read all of the department's sop? I work at a clinical research facility. If I were to say this to my boss he'd probably stare at me thinking he needs to fire me.
Moving the podium right up on the LT was a major gangster move by the defense attorney. Then after they sit it down he shimmys it to be dead center on the LT. Says so much without saying a word. If I ever have to go to court ima tell my lawyer to move the podium close af. Lol
@@JustinNathanson I assume most officers kind of breeze through these court appearances. Most cases probably have public appointed attorneys who really dont give a crap. Moving the podium tells the cop a few things. A) it says get comfortable. You're going to be here getting examined long enough for me to stop and move this podium to where we can hear each other better. This is not going to be a breeze through case. B) says if you try to lie, you are going to have to look me directly in my eyes face to face from close distance to do it. Which is probably a bad idea since the lawyer put himself in the position so he is ready. C) It shows the cop that the lawyer is obviously confident af if he is willing to basically put himself in the dead center of the room as he asked his questions. D) in my opinion the whole act just screams "I know you fucked up and I'm about to embarrass you here in front of everyone so get ready."
@@zacharybsmith1987 E) He also blocked the officers view of the District Attorney so he couldn't read their face on how to answer a question potentially. Made him sink all on his own. This Attorney is BOSS
More proof that taking roadside tests do not prove your innocence or sobriety. Even if you “pass” (there is no pass on these tests) then you’re still going to jail.
He tried not to admit the driver passed the tests. BTW, I can't pass them anymore, I'm physically unable to perform them. They'd have to give me the breath test.
Exactly, It's best to refuse all roadside test because they are voluntary. Only the test at the station is required. Although s ok me corrupt cops will use your roadside refusal as you refusing the required test at the station just so your license get suspended. That's why all drivers need to have a dashcam and put you phone on record. Cops are pathological liars.
He used the police code for someone drunk and then says, “Well, I pulled him over for not signaling.” and then claims he started a DUI investigation after approaching the citizen.
Thats not suspicious as it establishes or lays the foundation that Sullivan was not initially suspected of a dui infraction, and the initial reason for the stop was the mentioned moving violation. However he does state the dui investigation began with when he exisited the vehicle, which might be a contradiction of his statement of the events if defense seeks clarification on these detail as to when was sullivan suspected of being under the influence.
“He gave me a glare” this is called contempt of cop. “How dare you!” Is their mindset. I worked for sheriff for ten years. I seen a lot of good cops and a few bad ones back then. That was in the 1980’s. Now days I see a lot of bad ones and very few good ones. They have this elevated mentality of themselves. They know the courts will almost always side with them. They know they will be protected by their unions and departments. They know even if a civil case arises the tax payers have to pay for it, not them. Police in our area make starting double what a teacher makes. With three and half years less training. With overtime, off duty work etc they can make six figures easy. They can retire after twenty years and draw a pension.
What a douche bag! Don't be a hater that they now make more than you did. You're right...I did 20 years. With OVERTIME and OFF DUTY I made over 6 figures. Ummm the Overtime was authorized because off case loads and callouts and Off Duty wasn't paid by the Sheriff, so what's the problem, I put in the work.
Our police forces have really deteriorated over the last decade. Sure, I want to support the blue and I know some retired cops who agree with me. What I fear most is the blind faith in our police as always being the good guys. There are cops wearing a badge who are bullies looking for the authority over others. These are the same kind of cops who will enforce illegal dictates. The Portland police are prime examples of cops who will follow any illegal order and who will stand by as ANTIFA attacks an open air worship service
@@davidoltmans2725 have they really deteriorated??? I don't see it that way. We require so much more out of our Law Enforcement officers now, versus 50 years ago. They have to be the enforcers of law, which now everyone thinks they get to disagree and argue with Police at the scene, and they get a say in what happens, and many do not respect what they legally say. We also require them to be juvenile counselors. We have a mental health crisis in America and we make Police deal with the worst of the worst, those individuals who can't get insurance and go to a Psychiatrist. We make the Police handle neighborhood disagreements regarding spilled garbage, civil disagreements, marital disputes that aren't a crime, we make them handle animal complaints that aren't criminal, and we have a society that thinks they are always right and "They" shouldn't be picked on. The hours required for the Police Academy go up every couple of years. Police also deal with the outcome of drug addiction and overdoses, which we didn't deal with 50 years ago.
@@yathatsright5958 I also heard that. It was the defendants comment inside about not opening the door for the cops plus the "glare" that made the cop go after him for some measure of revenge. However, the cop had probable cause to pull him over when the guy did not use his blinker. Since we were not able to see the rest of the trial, I am not sure the defendant was given a breathalizer at the station. Since the driver passed all field sobriety tests and the only evidence against him is the cop smelling alcohol on his breathe, he had a good chance of wining this case.
I have been falsely charged for doing that at an ihop at 4am on a sunday morning. In Oklahoma a cop merly has to claim your intoxicated no field sobriety test required. I only won because the cop lied and I had sufficient witnesses to prove his testimony was false.
Meyer Lansky-- horrid, violent gangster since childhood partnerships with Luciano and on through a very long life that was so egrigous--that even ISRAEL refused to take him as an immigrant-- financier to many other ethnicity of mobsters--this Meyer Lansky and his nasty associates directly OWNED for many years--perhaps his associates still operate today--a firm in California that manufactured and sold POLICE BADGES to many municipalities in USA.

“So LT, if a suspect invokes his 5th amendment right, you become suspicious, is that what you’re saying?” “So you followed the defendant because he was sitting near an alcoholic beverage? Does that mean if you witness a restaurant patron sitting near a glass of wine or a bottle of beer, you follow them upon leaving the restaurant?”
Actually in all 50 states if police are makimg contact with you for an i investigation you mist comply. That includes opening your door.

Exactly what I was thinking.
@Dave Martin , you obviously didn't even watch the video. The cop is a Lt - not a Sgt. This Lt is a Brady Cop. He clearly lied under oath. His testimony will be impeached be every defense attorney going forward. THIS is why people need to record all interactions with cop. If a video had suddenly appeared of the cops saying "We can most certainly kick you out" then this cop would have been fired and charged with perjury. That is why cops HATE cameras so much - including their own body cameras.
@Mark Turner we have further tests at the station here as well. We can refuse those though. They can bring you to a hospital and get a warrant forcing you to take a blood test.
An 18 year veteran cop who testifies he isn’t completely familiar with the department’s ‘standard operating procedures’ should be fired on the spot.
It doesn't seem like he learned anything from all that extra training, huh?
I dare say he has a tremendous amount of information/training to always be refreshed on so it is unreasonable to expect him to be able to recite every last piece of information to a T. "Having a reasonable understanding" basically means I know basically all the training that I commonly need to make use of, and the extra stuff that I rarely use, while I may be somewhat familiar with it, I may not be able to recall it all on the spot

Where is the video that proves there was a traffic violation? Officer admitted on the stand , under oath that he called in the alleged D.U.I . Replay this video and listen closely because he calls the police station & the time is recorded at the station & there was no mention of the suspect not using his turn signal as an excuse for a traffic stop violation stop. The only thing called in was for a D.U.I Officer never mentions the traffic violation or that the suspect didn't use his turn signal. That was not even mentioned until the day in court! I believe the officer just claimed a false traffic stop to justify the suspicious O.V.I. However the suspect passed the Field Sobriety Test & the officer still was not satisfied with that result! The officer knew that the driver he pulled over was from the house party where the noise violation occurrence was & the officer admittedly said in court that he followed the defendant. The officer even admitted he seen and observed that same man through an open window near the sided walk at which time he heard the female officer knock on the door, announce her credentials & who she was! And the male officer on the stand said he heard the man ( that same man who he ultimately arrested) say out loud to the person who lived in the apartment , "You don't have to open the door to let them in!" The person living at the residence adhered to the female officer warning & ended the gathering of his friends and asked the guest to leave. The officer on the stand can't visually prove (no video proof) the reason for the traffic violation stop and the officer admitted in court on the stand that the suspect passed the Field Sobriety Tests , yet the officer still placed the suspect under arrest! Why? Because the officer said in court he had a FEELING the suspect was drunk. Did the suspect consent & or refuse to having a blood test ? Was a blood test taken? Did this attorney for the plaintiff win or loose this case? Was the suspect found to be legally drunk?
If you are sober, you could fail the field sobriety tests, and only be cleared up after you are arrested and take a breath test. ... The most common misconception to refusing a field sobriety test or a breath test is that if you are to refuse the tests, you would then have your license suspended for a year

As a prosecutor, I think it should be an obligation that when you see the officer of the law caught in a lie, you should stop the prosecution there. What’s the purpose of moving forward with trying to prosecute the defendant??? It’s a fuxked up system we live in.
What lie did the officer tell?
James Leahy - Lied about the words he yelled thru the window. Lied about not purposely following the defendant after he left the house. Lied about the alcohol breath. He should be held criminally accountable for these lies. And my point was, that the prosecutor is not a stupid ass. He’s more concerned about winning a case with disregard to someone else’s life/career than finding truth in the matter.
If you were the prosecutor in this case would there have been a point before the trial when you would have known the officer lied?
If not and you learned during the trial he lied what would you do right there in the court room?
Joshua Davis - Thats what I’m saying. It should not be frowned upon to drop the charges. But the court system is more interested in collecting cash payments than to hand out true justice. When you go to court as an innocent person, you lose regardless of the outcome. You still pay attorney and court fees. You lose valuable time. Might even lose your job during the case. It happened to my co-worker. Got rehired after the charges were dropped, but still lost about 3 months of pay. It’s truly disgusting and I can’t wait until the real Judge rules over us.

I got pulled over for Drunk Driving, once. I don't drink alcohol at all. A search of my car for marijuana ensued. I don't smoke even cigarettes, and never have. After they found nothing and I passed all the tests, the officer said, and I still remember the exact quote to this day, "Well, Mr. [x], since you've been so cooperative, I'm just going to give you a speeding ticket."
There had been no mention of speeding up to that point.
He stole $ for the state from you then! ALL COPS ARE OATHBREAKERS!!! All of them are evil devils!🤬

One of the posts here makes a comment about a cop's memory and I realized just how true that is. Seems that a cop's memory is flawless when recounting the actions of someone they've arrested but, when questioned about their own actions, they suddenly have memory loss moments aplenty. So glad we've got you DUI Guy. You give me hope that we still have a defender for the People!
because it's bogus... it's easier for you to recall a memory and the truth than a lie because your mind knows that's not what happened why a person tends to slightly change up their lies or has to take a moment to recall it, not to mention if what he was saying is true he could of taken plenty of notes which he did not
I do not understand why these cops are not allowed to have their notes during cross examination?
Again I did not understand why these cops go on stand without all their notes somehow there’s a expectation they’re supposed to recall remember everything they did during a DUI stop a year ago? This defendant did not need a DUI lawyer any competent public defender could’ve won this case. Again DUI guy apparently thinks he’s a stud because he’s taking on incompetent small department cops. He needs to go to a large municipality and try taking on a competent Police Department for a DUI case he would have is arrogant ass handed to him pretty quick

He had to stop himself from saying the driver "passed" the field sobriety test.
Granted I haven’t made it all the way through the entire video but the way that phrase goes does not seem that disingenuous. There’s a difference between somebody passing a sobriety test because they’re sober and somebody who is drunk but is not necessarily showing indicators.
@@SKY_DWELLER333 that's the mechanism of the test. It's not meant to be "passed ",
this is because field sobriety tests arent meant to be passed or failed, theyre made to show impairment. you cant pass or fail an SFST.

They may know certain policies that directly relate to a specific circumstance.....but i promise there are plenty they don't know OR they think they know. Some things make sense, and yet the policy is different, but everyone goes on thinking it is something different.
What reason do they have to train cops? Seems like accountability is almost nonexistent, and it's cheaper not to train them. I will say though, not all are bad and do actually do their job.
I'm not sure it's just bad training and incompetence.

Edit: hes not just incompetent; he's more competent than the department required him to be.
That's a lot of words to just say hes a cop.
Yeah so um.... standard operating procedures are supposed to be read in their entirety by every officer on the force.
I can't recognize this pmaplet! There's no header on it telling me what it is!
I´m far away of defending the cop, but show me the one guy or girl, which knows a 650 pages pamphlet written in language of law by heart. That´s made from judges and lawyers FOR judges and lawyers and not for a person with normal or slightly subnormal (after 18 years being a traffic cop) intelligence .
“I’ve seen SOME of them.”
Somehow, “I’ve read MOST of them.”
So, you have actually read procedures you have never seen? At the close to 500 DUI stops you have made in 18 years, which procedure did you follow? One you read but didn’t see and couldn’t remember, or one you never saw, never read, never knew, and only by accident may have actually followed, except in this case?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "may have accidentally followed" the SOP's ! Great!
Every cop should be cross examined like this whenever their testifying or appearing in court.

A great lawyer would have asked What probable cause did you have to arrest or perform any more test?
@@gctcauto the driving infraction mixed with bloodshot eyes, the odor of alcoholic beverages, and slurred speech is enough PC to arrest so no, a great lawyer would not have asked that question.
@@logan3059 Assuming you believe the officer at this point. However the lawyer had already established that according to the officer, he believed someone was commiting a crime and did nothing about it until he had a second, seperate reason to stop them, which raises serious doubt about the truth of the first. If you are 100% confident someone is drunk driving, you don't need to wait for them to fail to signal properly.
If I was that lawyer, I would of also raised the issue of the "mean glare" comment. In the prosecution cross examination, he stated that when the suspect drove past he gave him a "mean glare" when they saw each other and he recognized him. Add that to the "im going to follow him and wait for him to do something" then you have a pretty easy argument to make to the Jury that the cop didn't like the guy, and was just looking to make his life difficult. Given the way the law works in the US, if a cop is determined to arrest you they can.
Emphasis for this is the debate over if loud music was a civil or criminal complaint, disorderly conduct is... super vauge in the law and can be interpreted to mean anything. Answering an officer back can and has been used by the police as examples and cause for arrest.
@@gctcauto are you a great lawyer?

Cop: "I still believed he was sober".
DUI: "No further questions". Mic drop moment.
This officer decides to pull over the one sober person at a party
Exactly!😄
Designated sober driver decoy!
Yep the designated decoy
The other video proves that he wasn't sober, according to what he blew. The defense is making the statement that, he should not have had to take a breathalyzer test to begin with. He passed a field sobriety test and showed no sings of driving drunk, so they no longer had grounds to say he was drunk. The officer went into the situation with the mindset that he was drunk and came up with bs to make sure he could prove it.
So why the hell is this poor guy dragged to jail and then into court if he passed all the FST?!?!?! 😡
Because the cop is a treasonous kidnapping felon.
Cup was butt hurt
All they have to say is that is what they "believed." A cop can ruin your life with an arrest record (even if dismissed, dropped, or not filed), even though you are totally innocent. They will say you can have it "sealed," but that doesn't count government background checks, and you still have to answer that you have been arrested.
Contempt of cop its a well used statute than the citizens aren't aware of its actually punishable by life in prison without parole if the police push it. *sarcasm*
Power of a 🐷 ego.
"How did he do on the field sobriety test?"
-"He passed."
Case closed....
Nope. He had other indicators (slurred speech, smell of alcohol on his breath) which led to the more accurate test, which, based on the fact that they were in a courtroom, the driver failed. Passing the field sobriety test doesn't mean you're sober, but failing it usually means you're not. That's why they do the field sobriety test first. Also, I didn't feel this was a case of the defense attorney being a beast, but the prosecutor failing in redirect. All he had to do was ask the officer why he decided to arrest the guy and take him in for the other test, and that would have blown up the defense cross.
@SuperGubes I would kind of disagree with you that solely passing the test would be enough, i'm sure some people can do it even if they are over drink driving limit, that being said I would also agree that it's most likely possible for a sober person to "fail" the test. That's why I don't uderstand why would they relay on something like the test , why don't they have things like breathalyzer tests with them in the car? Also did I miss something here, or why are they having this discussion in the first place? Didn't they conduct any kind of blood / breathalyzer test after taking the suspect back to the station?
@@NathanTenney if a field sobriety test can convict it can acquit. Just watched it happen.
@@srcetme That's a logical fallacy. A person who fails a field sobriety test is too impaired to operate a motor vehicle, but it does not necessarily follow that a person who passes one is therefore not too impaired. It's like saying all dogs are animals, therefore all animals are dogs.

I'm even more concerned when the lawyer said "You did not stop him from driving despite the fact that you suspected him of being drunk?". I mean.......that's what I want are cops thinking someone is drunk and letting him drive around until he crashes.

@The Milkman Shall Rise not exactly. If you fail it, it's used to determine fault. If you pass, they can still perform other methods to ascertain fault.
There are a lot of things cops shouldn’t do, but they do it anyway.
If a cop does a field test because they suspect you’re drunk, they’re hoping/assuming it will show intoxication because it makes their job easier. They want you to “fail“, they’re not interested in making an objective judgement.
Key word here is BELIEVED. Translation: I don't have to follow procedures. I can break the law, violate people's rights and do whatever I please, I'M A COP.

That's a good lawyer. The officer walked right into the trap.
I love how he says "I stopped him for a turn signal violation, and then smelled alcohol", while he JUST testified earlier that he radio'd in a suspected DUI right when he started following him. He just completely contradicted himself, so he's obviously lying.
thats not contradicting. he needs probable cause to actually stop the vehicle, as the guy leaving the party alone isnt enough. he stopped him for a legal reason then was able to confirm his possible dui suspicion when he smelled alcohol.
...the officer could have been making up the fact that he didn't use his turn signal for all we know.
Drunk driving sucks so when an officer trumps up charges it's even more infuriating.
@rebe brke for sure
They always “smell alcohol “, they always hear “slurred speech “, they always notice “red bloodshot eyes”. It’s baffling. They never pulled over a DUI suspect that didn’t show these signs. What a crock!
"The comment "You don't have to let him in" was kind of odd." No, that's his legal right. Lmao. It's not odd that he didn't want you in his house.
Cops find anyone exercising their 4th amendment rights, to be suspicious. When in reality, it bruises their egos. They DO NOT like being told no. And the person who told them no should be taught a lesson. And the cops will escalate from there. Also, they hate when anyone exercise any of our amendments.

“How dare you not let us do what we don’t have a right to do” - Cops basically

I so want this attorney on my pay roll for my family and my well being. Most amazing attorney in the world. I've watched every video you put out and, and wow your beyond amazing at your job.
So basically the cop gets his feelings hurt and became emotionally distraught
I don't aggre with W
What he did but emotional trauma can be very traumatic and painful
The lawyer did a great move to pretend it was a civil matter and then let the police officer correct him it was a criminal matter, to then go ahead and expose him for failing to take the correct action over a criminal matter. His face changed when he realised where the lawyer was going with that. 25:00
Larry Forman is too smart for these people, including the judge.
I wasnt paying attention to the screen while I was listening to this till the cop said "I had my headlights on, I could see himself drive by me, he glared at me." ....the way he said he glared at me....it blew my mind. His answers were normal tone till he said that. I replayed that a couple times. I think he thought him glaring at him was challenging him. Crazy.
From the sounds of it, the cop heard the guy say they didn't have to open the door. Which made the cop go all, "respect muh authoritah", and proceed to pull the guy over to get him for a DUI to teach him some sort of "lesson". In all reality he just wanted to assert his dominance like a petulant child.
It also sounds like they may have broke the party up because of the comments in order to flush the guy out and force him to leave.
He also said he told the guy, "you have to answer, we're the police", and then later went on to contradict himself by saying he agreed that they didn't have to answer.
Assumptions everywhere

Moving the podium right up on the LT was a major gangster move by the defense attorney. Then after they sit it down he shimmys it to be dead center on the LT. Says so much without saying a word. If I ever have to go to court ima tell my lawyer to move the podium close af. Lol
What do you mean?
@@JustinNathanson I assume most officers kind of breeze through these court appearances. Most cases probably have public appointed attorneys who really dont give a crap. Moving the podium tells the cop a few things.
A) it says get comfortable. You're going to be here getting examined long enough for me to stop and move this podium to where we can hear each other better. This is not going to be a breeze through case.
B) says if you try to lie, you are going to have to look me directly in my eyes face to face from close distance to do it. Which is probably a bad idea since the lawyer put himself in the position so he is ready.
C) It shows the cop that the lawyer is obviously confident af if he is willing to basically put himself in the dead center of the room as he asked his questions.
D) in my opinion the whole act just screams "I know you fucked up and I'm about to embarrass you here in front of everyone so get ready."

More proof that taking roadside tests do not prove your innocence or sobriety. Even if you “pass” (there is no pass on these tests) then you’re still going to jail.
He tried not to admit the driver passed the tests. BTW, I can't pass them anymore, I'm physically unable to perform them. They'd have to give me the breath test.
Exactly, It's best to refuse all roadside test because they are voluntary. Only the test at the station is required. Although s ok me corrupt cops will use your roadside refusal as you refusing the required test at the station just so your license get suspended. That's why all drivers need to have a dashcam and put you phone on record. Cops are pathological liars.
Took my same exact thought! Went from he passed, to I smelled, to an arrest.
And you are immediately deemed guilty of dui also which is ridiculous.
@@rockysquirrel4776 I have no physical issues and I can't pass them as a sober saint on Sunday
It's very subjective
He used the police code for someone drunk and then says, “Well, I pulled him over for not signaling.” and then claims he started a DUI investigation after approaching the citizen.
Thats not suspicious as it establishes or lays the foundation that Sullivan was not initially suspected of a dui infraction, and the initial reason for the stop was the mentioned moving violation. However he does state the dui investigation began with when he exisited the vehicle, which might be a contradiction of his statement of the events if defense seeks clarification on these detail as to when was sullivan suspected of being under the influence.
Questioning of police officers should always be AT LEAST as critical as this.
All public servants, not just the lowest levels of local government. The problem changes from the top down
“He gave me a glare” this is called contempt of cop. “How dare you!” Is their mindset. I worked for sheriff for ten years. I seen a lot of good cops and a few bad ones back then. That was in the 1980’s. Now days I see a lot of bad ones and very few good ones. They have this elevated mentality of themselves. They know the courts will almost always side with them. They know they will be protected by their unions and departments. They know even if a civil case arises the tax payers have to pay for it, not them. Police in our area make starting double what a teacher makes. With three and half years less training. With overtime, off duty work etc they can make six figures easy. They can retire after twenty years and draw a pension.
What a douche bag! Don't be a hater that they now make more than you did. You're right...I did 20 years. With OVERTIME and OFF DUTY I made over 6 figures. Ummm the Overtime was authorized because off case loads and callouts and Off Duty wasn't paid by the Sheriff, so what's the problem, I put in the work.
You probably put lot of innocent people in jail too, good see some people proudly hang there hat on that glad my family didn't
Our police forces have really deteriorated over the last decade. Sure, I want to support the blue and I know some retired cops who agree with me. What I fear most is the blind faith in our police as always being the good guys. There are cops wearing a badge who are bullies looking for the authority over others. These are the same kind of cops who will enforce illegal dictates. The Portland police are prime examples of cops who will follow any illegal order and who will stand by as ANTIFA attacks an open air worship service
@@davidoltmans2725 have they really deteriorated??? I don't see it that way. We require so much more out of our Law Enforcement officers now, versus 50 years ago. They have to be the enforcers of law, which now everyone thinks they get to disagree and argue with Police at the scene, and they get a say in what happens, and many do not respect what they legally say. We also require them to be juvenile counselors. We have a mental health crisis in America and we make Police deal with the worst of the worst, those individuals who can't get insurance and go to a Psychiatrist. We make the Police handle neighborhood disagreements regarding spilled garbage, civil disagreements, marital disputes that aren't a crime, we make them handle animal complaints that aren't criminal, and we have a society that thinks they are always right and "They" shouldn't be picked on. The hours required for the Police Academy go up every couple of years. Police also deal with the outcome of drug addiction and overdoses, which we didn't deal with 50 years ago.

However, the cop had probable cause to pull him over when the guy did not use his blinker. Since we were not able to see the rest of the trial, I am not sure the defendant was given a breathalizer at the station. Since the driver passed all field sobriety tests and the only evidence against him is the cop smelling alcohol on his breathe, he had a good chance of wining this case.
