Body-worn camera footage of the arrest: tiny.cc/ltdui And available now on Patreon, another full-length Jeremy Dewitte jail call. Fair warning: it's... humanizing. Note: the video will be available for free at some point later this week. *Many people are asking why the officers care about the arrestee having his hands near his face. The answer is test validity. Having your hands near your face interferes with the officer's ability to clearly observe your face for any sign that you have burped, vomited, etc. - which might later be argued to have influenced the test results. Similarly, if allowed to touch your face you might later claim to have eaten something that interfered with the test, or claim that you had used alcohol-based hand sanitizer which was then transferred to your lips. Or even that you drank alcohol and they didn't catch it. It's to avoid anything like that. *Some viewers are likely wondering why I pointed out that this video has sound. Copying directly from the video description: "Some time after publishing the initial footage, we published a portion of the footage seen here. Only it was silent. In fact, we didn't even know that an audio track existed. Audio did not play in any player we used, and ffprobe did not report that audio was present. But it was. And after a lot of cursing, we finally got it to play."
@@traviseastlick5342 Mind providing evidence in support of your claim to have "personally [been] involved with the removal of at least 5 public officials and 3 police officers and 2 elected officials?"

@@lisadavis1558 Suspects try to put things in their mouth that will make a fault on the breathalyzer. A penny used to work but they figured that out. Inhaling butane from a lighter still causes faults but can also kill you.
I got arrested after easily walking and talking and blew a .59... I was driving a car just fine on my way to drink more at an after party leaving the bar.
After watching the video of him getting pulled over, it's pretty clear to me the arresting officers knew he had a drinking problem. On a couple different occasions they mentioned "I hope he gets the help he needs". They wouldn't say that if this was a first time fluke encounter. Word gets around a station and it's likely most of the department knew he was an alcoholic, yet nothing was done to confront him, and get him the necessary help. It's their duty to protect the public and they failed by doing nothing. Instead it was ignored until this incident and they were forced to act due to the cameras rolling. I just wonder how many times he got away with it because cameras weren't recording.
@@JasonX2nobody drinks 2 1/2 bottles of hard liquor for the first time and doesn’t throw up and pass out, he was handling his booze like a hardened drinker and remained conscious, this is the difference between a new drinker and a hardened drinker like this Cop!
Yes we are all so grateful for the cameras. The police that delt with us when we were kids would be fired. If you had long hair they would stop and throw you against their car . Search and ruff you up a bit . Sometimes adding something to your pocket . Barbaric behavior back in the day .
That’s a professional drunk. Still standing, talking, actually carrying on a conversation with a BAC of .36. People are generally unconscious around .25. In my state you have to wait 30 minutes and have them re-blow if it’s above a .32. If it hasn’t come down they are going to the hospital.
yet even with cameras, and with a blood alcohol of .38 (4.5 times the limit for DUI and 2.5 times the limit for aggravated DUI , a felony in NJ) he was only charged with a simple misdemeanor DUI , which allowed him to retire with full benefits. Only because of the "enhanced DUI law" in NJ , which doesn't allow prosecutors to accept pleas to lesser charges , was he not able to plead down to a moving violation , or I'm sure he would have been given that opportunity.
Sad how many people went to jail innocently because of lies from the POLICE. Some didn't even make it out alive. Because they were stabbed, beaten to death, raped, suicides, PTSD. THE REASON THE GOVERNMENT IN MANY STATES WILL NOT CHANGE THE LAW IS BECAUSE MORE THAN 30% OF RETIREES would be found guilty and sent to jail. For commiting crimes while in uniform. And many of these grandfather's and grandmother's yeah women cops included were just as abusive as their male counter parts. Lots of people in very high places would be fired, charged or demoted.
I think it’s funny how the officer tells him “ oh I’ll remove your photo from the servers so nobody else will see” but the vid of the whole thing is going to be leaked all over TH-cam! Lol
0.36% and he's holding his own perfectly, you can tell he's a functional alcoholic, probably not his first time driving drunk, just his first time getting caught
“I already deleted your mug shot.” This should show people the blatant corruption within the police departments in this country. Any other person without a badge would NOT get this kind of treatment.
And yet,there is a stream of comments,on every other video,complaining of the patience and restraint officers show,when dealing with all manner of belligerent dui perps.SMH.
@@nutgone100 It's on the paperwork for record keeping, court etc. The commanding officer, however, removed it from the server itself so that the public, coworkers, etc. wouldn't find/see it.
@mmanda515 the commanding officer has nothing to do with it. This man will be convicted in the courts, and THEY will make his mugshot available, just like everyone else. When they don't prosecute their own you cry.....when they do prosecute their own, you 😢...... what do you and all the other 😢👶 want?
Idk about other states, but in Texas some people are able to have their mugshots wiped from public records. I’m not sure how they do it, but it happens.
Big time. Just a little bit higher and you're a risk of death. Holy shit that is fucking high. He shouldn't be able to even talk or sit up. He must have been drinking for many many years to develop that kind of tolerance. Fuck his job but this guy needs rehab. Over 4 times the legal limit. Wtf
@@bighawaii I agree with the guy before me I'm not trained in dui at all. it probably was lower on scene because the alcohol might not have had time to fully kick in. Either way .36 is so high at anytime of testing. The highest I've blown was a .20 at home on a binge night and felt like I was getting hit with anesthesia and threw up and passed out.
They didnt treat him like they would regular people. The moment a regular guy failed the FST or said the word "Youre not putting cuffs on me" wouldve been the moment they got rough with the regular guy but instead it was constant apologizing to him for having to arrest him because he broke the law. They wouldve let him go if the body cams and audio wasnt already rolling. This guy was just a dickhead alcoholic who happened to be a police officer. He almost hit someone head on at the beginning of the video. Every one of these videos of officers getting caught driving drunk is all the same obvious bullshit double standard, This is the thin blue line.
@Pepi Roni Roni and you are an extremely rare and dying breed. What is upsetting is anybody that's ever been arrested never ever gets treated this way, if there were no cameras they would have let him go, if a cop breaks the same laws that they are sworn to uphold they should be punished more harshly than the average citizen. That would them honest.
It’s crazy how these cops can say “I’m sorry” to him and all yet he’s 4.5 times the legal limit!!!!!!!! Cops curse people out double the limit and tell them they’re disgusting bc they could have killed a family driving yet these guys are saying sorry to him???
Because they're p--sies lol. They're afraid of reprimanding an officer because of either retaliation by the fired officer or other officers turning on them and getting them fired. It's not about genuine concern for the officer, it's that they feel insecure about their job security, as most people do, whereas with a civilian, they know they won't get fired or face potential retaliation. It's extremely cowardly, but that's exactly what it is. Some people act so fake just to keep a job. I'm real everywhere I go, I fear no man.
Simon Pop I think they’re just trying to convince him to comply. Otherwise, he’d just get more angry and not do anything. It’s like when cops question people, they don’t want to act like they think you’re wrong.
They still have always had body worn mics and dash cams on top of that as soon as the lights are activated he camera starts recording and 45-30 seconds before also most officer related traffic stops are sent off to DOJ no matter what guilty non guilty sometimes before a court or trial shit was never easy after 94 as far as them getting away with anything so stop talking out of your ass
@@luker6766 Videos and mic recordings may very well have been recorded previously as you say and submitted to doj, however not many of the public have access to these files unlike social media platforms that do ensure the average person can view these recordings and videos. Not so easy to brush away videos when everyone can see them as opposed to a select few in the chain of command.
I really appreciate what you guys are doing with this channel and footage. The cameras protect everyone, and this total openness of the hard work ya’ll do is exactly what this country needs right now.
EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME I see one of these police get in trouble, it's a full-on tantrum because "This is unbelievable, the rules aren't supposed to apply to ME!"
Uh, maybe? But I think it was more the humiliation of being arrested and processed by the cops you've worked with for decades. There was a mix of denial and shame.
Well yeah one of the first things he said to the criminal was: "I'm sorry". Like it's some great tragedy that shouldn't have happened cause he is a fellow cop. No wonder he threw a tantrum if that's how they approach it.
@@lobomonos5009 100%. Obviously in any workplace reporting a colleague is not fun especially if you know them personally but that lack of professionalism is why people don't think the police is really in accountable
It was in the news that they tried to suppress having this information come to public by having his captain say it was an ongoing investigation. They'll do anything to try to protect one of their own. It doesn't surprise me but actions like these that lead people to distrust the police.
Absolutely, all the time saying he would do anything for HIS friend, except what it is he is being asked to do. No matter how many years they have told people that this is a consequence of their own actions, they still fail to realise that it is themselves that have put them in this position and try to blame anyone and everyone for the situation
@@kljcails: He actually DID get charged and eventually pleaded guilty to DUI. His drivers license was suspended for 7 months plus 6 months additional ignition interlock. He also had to attend alcohol/drug counselling and was fined $689. These were considered standard penalties for a first DUI in that jurisdiction. In addition he was suspended from his job and ultimately ‘retired’.
BAC 0.36 would render any non-alcoholic comatose and hospitalized. To reach that BAC without passing out, still walking and talking, this man is an experienced, long-term alcoholic. He has probably driven intoxicated hundreds of times, possibly thousands of times. And finally got caught. This is entirely common for those deep in the fog of alcoholism: "Woe is me", "Life sucks", "It isn't fair", "Give me a break" ... irrational self-pity and rejection of personal responsibility.
I’m sick of watching cops treat other cops who are driving drunk with kid gloves, and continued apologizes. They need to be held to the same standard, if not higher, than the rest of us American citizens do.
They need to be held to a higher account. Hypocritical to bust people for DUI and expect special treatment when THEY do it! We give them the power they need to accept the responsibility. We give them power to PROTECT! Not power to lord it over us and excuse their own indescretions.
I think it’s people that aren’t cops that hold people that get arrested to higher accountability. The normal public looks at criminals way different than people dealing with them every day. From my experience all cops want the best for everyone
Same treatment for ANYONE that is a fellow Mason. It's not just police. It's business men, politicians, etc. Long-time business man in Butte County got off on a FELONY auto theft charge in 2021 courtesy of our local Sargent of the C.H.P. That's how it works; welcome to Freemasonry. 👌🤫
@@Th33wild1 Its do as I say not as I do. I understand there's pressure on the job. But if you are going to bust people for DUI, you cant be doing it yourself! Its hypocritical. Do you think anyone dead by a drunk driving police officer is less dead than by a 'civilian'?
This was absolutely appalling the way he was treated with kid gloves. This video should go viral and have this police department held accountable for the way they DID NOT perform their duties like they would any other criminal !!😤
Seen here ,New Zealand. Very very POOR POLICEING, from the moment they pulled him up...Seen in other video.. Yes he is a senior officer, BUT HAS BROKEN THE LAW..... There's no getting away from that..
Don't lay a heavy trip on us, man. He wasn't kidding and he was definitely not wearing gloves so you're trippin saying someone was wearing kidding gloves. Bogus, man. Keep it real real. Be the truth. How can gloves be kidding??
don't you love the way everyone's trying to protect his feelings and he's playing the victim, WTF, this guy could have killed someone, treat him like everyone else in that position
I’m kind of a lightweight but if I drink three or four beers in an hour I can tell my driving isn’t 100%. I remember driving to get Chinese food after drinking three beers and I hit the curb which is something I had never done up until that point. So I don’t drink and drive anymore.
Anyone who provides a breath reading of .36 several hours after his last intake of alcohol and functions so well is obviously a chronic alcoholic. I am confident that his department was well aware of his problem of alcoholism. Not only did his department failed him but the department also failed their community to allow a police officer supervisor to remain on duty with his serious medical condition.
It's an addiction. Too bad there is so little help available. I'm hoping, in the future, there will be something miraculous to reverse the problem in the brain. So happy it's no longer me.
@@SHurd-rc2go Thats why alcohol and drug addiction is so hard to beat, because it affects the brain. Even anxiety and depression affect the brain. Anything that messes with your mind and brain is very very challenging to overcome.
They might just be feeding him bullshit to keep him calm. They told him his friend took his car home for him but they towed it...this could be similar. Why would they take his mugshot if they’re just gonna delete it? And would they really be able to just delete it like that?
My favorite part was when he threatened to “retire tomorrow” like he was punishing them . “No, don’t do that John!” Bet it would really be difficult to replace a middle aged drunkard with an attitude problem. Don’t do it John....please!
It is STUNNING TO SEE , how immature a police LT., can act when intoxicated. There should be serious repercussions upon a man at this rank, acting this way.
Your feelings are understandable. However, being that drunk means he was unable to fully control his behavior - regardless of the lieutenant's age or title. That's why - when he's detoxed and sober - his family and cop friends should attempt an intervention. I wish him luck. Addiction sucks.
Wow, the moment it hits you that you’re no better than any of the other drunks brought in and “forced” to do things they don’t want to. I don’t think he needs to decide to retire, I think that action will be decided for him.
One would like to think that he'd be forced to retire, but I've watched other videos of cops arresting cops for drunk driving and knowing it was recorded on body cam they brag that they know cops that got a DUI and kept their job. They acted like it was fairly common. Disgusting.
What do you mean, "no better"? They treated this guy with kid fucking gloves. They deleted his mugshot. Are they gonna delete anybody else's mugshot to spare them shame?
Retirement as a lieutenant he probably gets a very nice pension. It’s irritating that guys like this get kid gloves treatment while “ Regular “ people get treated like crap . And from some of the comments from the other cops he’s a “ Known “ drunk .
Holy crap! I'm 48 .. I thought he was in his 60's too. I bet he drank everyday on the job. He even said he tried all that.. meaning getting help and Im assuming AA.. So he has had this problem for awhile.
They would have driven him home. And I can guarantee you this: His work record has at least ONE alcohol/job related write up. They all knew this guy had a serious problem. You can't drink that much and function w/o those that know/work with you being aware you've got an issue.
Their excuse is "police courtesy". Its bullshit, a job title doesn't exclude the effects of alcohol , every human is the same to some degree , just because you have an authoritative position doesnt mean your immune to getting drunk, America isn't close to perfect although what others think. This country needs to re evaluate their laws in every state, police courtesy cannot be an escape goat for everything
I honestly doubt any picture was removed sense this is totally against policy. If anything he was being humored trying to keep him under control. The Lt. and Sargent handling this investigation could be reprimanded or possibly fired if they actually did what was stated simply because this is all being recorded and just like now is public knowledge for the world to watch. I am sure this video was viewed by the prosecutor to check into wether or not this intoxicated Lt. was shown any special privileges. Thank You
He most likely didn’t, if he did that sucks but just like how the other cop told him he won’t tow his truck but did anyways they are just saying things to keep him calm. Drunk people are EXTREMELY unpredictable.
"I'm retiring tomorrow" - and he did end up retiring. The way to fix this is to take away the "retirement" option when there ic a civil or criminal event that precedes the application for retirement.
Dumb he should lose his retirement because he got a dui??? Because he’s a cop ???? But want them to treat us within the law and fair. Stupidity and hatefulness at its finest . Thank
No way, he's had to deal with idiots like you his whole working life, rats on the sidewalk acting like gangsters, them lot need to get a job, this officer should get more money, DIRTY STREET RATS
@@Align500pro Now, talk about how they break the speed limit, plant evidence, Rob, rape, brutalize and murder people with impunity. Please and Thank You! 👀😠😑 We can put this little DUI aside. I'm sure he's otherwise a great guy!!! 😘
So ridiculous that a man who was just cut driving drunk four times the legal limit would threaten to retire tomorrow when he might be getting fired tonight.
@@steveo3831 i’m wondering why you felt it important to tell me that… I don’t know it to be true either but it’s what he was saying at least what I remember because I watch this video well over a year ago.
@@steveo3831 you’re right, that’s a fair point. From what I remember, he was just claiming he was going to retire or resign, but I’m thinking if he does it after this incident, it shouldn’t count because he should be getting fired.
@@robertdysonn Sheriff Judd out of Polk County FL recently said on a PBD podcast that an officer would be fired if he/she elected not to resign. Can’t remember the offense but it was serious
He also said he hadn't "been to work for the last five days" and talks about marriage issues. I kinda feel bad for this man, but I'm glad they didn't give him any special treatment.
Who said his career ended? Cops get duis all the time. Hell... a cop in the city where i live got a dui in February. The state trooper arrested him for hitting another car on the highway and the body cam footage got realised to the news cause they had to bring him to the ground cause he wasn't listening and telling the state trooper " I've been on the job 20 years". The judge only made him take a few drinking and driving classes and the police department suspened him for a week and thats it. He only got suspended cause he made the news and the department had no choice but to suspened him cause they didnt want people thinking their cops could get away with shit
ClickReportTo SilenceFreeSpeech cabs ,especially here in ny are a thing..people across the nation, who don’t have credit/debit cards,or who are too poor to be able to buy phones and plans that they can use Uber or Lyft .. shhh you are showing your upscale privilege ignorance
Isn't that kind of ironic how there's two different standards for two different people but when the s*** hits the fan your career is going down the drain sheriff
You guys are disgraceful! He is a man who threw his life as a servant and peace officer away, getting arrested with full proof that no one is above the law and that these cops are out here trying to do the right thing and yet it's never enough for you people. You would rather him have a public hanging so you can spit at his swinging corpse
@@XSyberiousX what are you upset at people for being fed up with police corruption? These cops aren't doing the right thing because they're moral. They're doing it because they're being recorded. So no, they don't get patted on the back for doing their jobs. And this LT threw his career away, but how many people's lives did he ruin for the very same offense? How many breaks for drunk driving did he give out? So no, it won't be enough until all police corruption ends.
I know your trying to be funny....But I know John personally and he doesn't even drink this is BS.. If you watch the video instead of typing this ridiculous comment you would see John is not drunk.
@@sheldonmurphy6031 Maybe a neighbor who's kid he almost hit last time he want driving drunk. You never know, but judging by how this guy is at .36, I bet this ain't his first time drunk
He is mad because the " good ole boy" network wasn't on duty that night. He has gotten away with it in the past and they won't let him go. That is why he is pissed .
You're typically uncuffed during booking. The arresting officer is going back on the road, he'll want his handcuffs back. Watch Dateline, sometime. You wanna claim that a bunch of would-be child molesters got special treatment too? I get it, blue man bad, but you're just.... You know... Wrong.
@Jeffrey Dohnger It all depended on the Cop...I was a heavy partier, and a Bouncer at several Clubs...some if them would fuck you over worse, which is what happened to me. I got pulled over by a Cop that went to school with my older brother...who's Ex- girlfriend my brother started throttling. Surely you can figure out I went to jail for DUI, and blew a .04, and was released after proving BAC...he was an asshole.
.36 is enough to anesthetize the average person. This man must have built up a very high tolerance level. His life and others were spared that day. I hope he surrendered to his error and learned from this. We can all learn from these videos. Thank you
They can delete the picture off the camera but I retired from corrections and worked in booking and when you book them in you staple a picture to the report that goes in both their file and to the judge the very time they go to first appearance!
@Who Dat Unfortunately it will always be in the file if you're booked into the jail and if you weren't charged with a crime you wouldn't be booked into the jail. Heck even when you're booked on a writ of bodily attachment you're booked in persay but not necessarily charged with any crime you can easily pay your back due child support and be released but unfortunately if your pictures are taken they will remain in the system regardless! Sorry hope that made sense!
Lol fuk no. They all sorry John and I already deleted this sitting there wit no handcuffs. Only reason he ended up at the station is cuz of the body cams. Before that it would be the normal ride to drop him off at his house while locking a middle class the next 20 mins for a lesser reason
For most people .4 can be fatal, and he wasn't far off at .36, so it certainly appears he's got an alcohol problem and has built up quite a tolerance with being able to conduct himself so well at that level.
People who aren't aggressive or physically resistant are treated with courtesy in almost all instances. I have done this routine many, many times and the only people that have a bad way to go are the ones that create the situation themselves.
@@billshears8538 he absolutely was passively resisting and obstructing. There's absolutely no one who isn't a politician or a cop that would have been able to get away with what he did.
The penalty should be enhanced as he is a cop. Cops should all have enhanced penalties, especially with cases they use brutality or abuse their power. I'm sick of these fucks getting special treatment and so forth. If there wasn't a ton of people that called in about a reckless driver, they would have let this shitbag go. If they pulled him over with nobody calling his driving in, they would have driven him home and had that other guy take his truck.
I don’t get why they’re apologizing to him when he’s the one that broke the law. If only all police officers could be that understanding and gentle with ALL citizens. Who would have thought it?
Never in history has a cop repeatedly apologised for charging a regular citizen drunk driver, let alone with a reading that high, which equals dangerous driving, and rightly so. Why is this pos any different?
I would assume if he’s a lieutenant, he’s probably their boss. There’s obviously a ‘walking on glass’ attitude stemming from a professional hierarchy at play here. Jon even says “fucking videos!”, implying he’d be given a slap on the wrist and let loose were they not present. Which he very likely would be, considering how they are treating him with kid’s gloves. The ONLY reason the cops are doing this is because the cameras are giving them no other choice.
@@rekunta I have to agree. The amount of times we hear them apologise and say there's nothing they can do because the camera is on. I also noticed in the last video I watched like this, the sound muted quite a few times, and not when the woman was giving personal details, phone no etc., which seemed a bit strange
"Ok so you know what I have to do right? Are you ok? How are you doing? You know my hands are tied. I don't want to do this. Don't make me do this. I have to do this, I don't want to lose my job. You know the cameras are recording. I wish I could change this. I hope you don't have a problem with me, if so I'm sorry." LOL
@@kemp10 just to play devils advocate when dealing with a fellow cop cause they are alot less likely to attack another officer so they feel safer to de-escalate because it most likely wont escalate to bad
To me doing anything you regret while drinking makes you an alcoholic, not being able to stop. Alcoholics don’t understand how normal people don’t want to drink. Don’t think about it. Can leave a 1/2 glass of anything. I am a alcoholic, I have tried quitting 1,000s of times felt guilty every morning. I have had 2 DWI’s I have paid my price served my time and feel ashamed. I was .455 . I was toast I never hurt anyone but myself I feel bad for my family and loved ones that I embarrassed and disappointed. On a good note I went through aversion therapy and have no desire to drink do A.A. meetings via zoom have over 300 days sober. I can smile again. I watch these to keep it real. To keep it fresh in my head. If I start up again I will die alone.
It is. Anything over 3.0 is toxic and people are usually sent to the hospital to be detoxed under observation because on their way down, the majority of them who drink on a regular basis will have seizures while they’re detoxing if they are not treated medically.
I know mad respect to his chief. It seems like that office has a really good workplace atmosphere, everyone looks out for each other rather then themselves. How a police dept should be!
He actually isn’t to bad for 4.5x the legal limit, this tells me he’s been a heavy hitter for a LONG time.. He doesn’t walk too too bad, he knows everything that’s going on, it’s a wonder he can stand.. He’s got off and away with this MANY times, but the camera and ONLY the camera catches him this time
I think anyone who has been arrested by this police department should file a discrimination lawsuit if they've been handcuffed and if their mugshot wasn't deleted.
I was thinking the same thing. This is definitely the sign of a "functional alcoholic" who just happened to go a little overboard and was driving irrationally and got caught.
I watched someone that was walking around Houston, TX breathalyzed. They blew a .9, and they were walking. Visibly very intoxicated but actually walking and talking.

@@alainab2898 the department didn't post the video. they scrubbed his arrest from their public forums and didnt publish any information related to his arrest and charging. RWP are the ones who gathered the videos/information and published everything.
I'm sure most cops in the Dept. knew that John was/is a legendary drinker. We had a few in my dept. As a matter of fact, I recently found out a Lt. in my agency just got a THIRD DUI. Incredible.
Reason he's so messed up about it is 3 years earlier he tracked a hit and run to the door step of one of his fellow officers which resulted in DUI hit and run charges. So he's getting nailed for something pretty similar all be it without property damage. His reputation around there is going to be fucked for life.
Exactly right, I'm not a cop hater but it's about time that those cops who do the wrong thing and enforce the same laws that its citizens fail on suffer the exact same consequences. 😊

Hi There
Yeah I read it wrong lol
I blew a .28 one time. I was fucked. Lol
After watching the video of him getting pulled over, it's pretty clear to me the arresting officers knew he had a drinking problem. On a couple different occasions they mentioned "I hope he gets the help he needs". They wouldn't say that if this was a first time fluke encounter. Word gets around a station and it's likely most of the department knew he was an alcoholic, yet nothing was done to confront him, and get him the necessary help. It's their duty to protect the public and they failed by doing nothing. Instead it was ignored until this incident and they were forced to act due to the cameras rolling. I just wonder how many times he got away with it because cameras weren't recording.
Nail on the head!
Don't take your guns to town John,don't take your guns to town....

@@sonsofjesse ..i was let off a lot bc of no video cams back then,
One good thing that came from the Rodney King situation: Cameras on the police.
Yes we are all so grateful for the cameras. The police that delt with us when we were kids would be fired. If you had long hair they would stop and throw you against their car . Search and ruff you up a bit . Sometimes adding something to your pocket . Barbaric behavior back in the day .
Now we just need the body cameras where they can not be turned off by the officers

@@luker6766 Um, yeah, thats a step-up from Sergeant. So a SERGEANT would get a promotion TO Lieutenant.
That’s a professional drunk. Still standing, talking, actually carrying on a conversation with a BAC of .36. People are generally unconscious around .25. In my state you have to wait 30 minutes and have them re-blow if it’s above a .32. If it hasn’t come down they are going to the hospital.
I dont know a cop that isn't a professional drunk
thats what i said in another comment. this guy is still walking and not dead? hes had practice and developed a tolerance
They have the same regulation there. Above .30, they take you in.

Just imagine what went on before body cams. Corruption was run wild.
yet even with cameras, and with a blood alcohol of .38 (4.5 times the limit for DUI and 2.5 times the limit for aggravated DUI , a felony in NJ) he was only charged with a simple misdemeanor DUI , which allowed him to retire with full benefits. Only because of the "enhanced DUI law" in NJ , which doesn't allow prosecutors to accept pleas to lesser charges , was he not able to plead down to a moving violation , or I'm sure he would have been given that opportunity.
Sad how many people went to jail innocently because of lies from the POLICE. Some didn't even make it out alive. Because they were stabbed, beaten to death, raped, suicides, PTSD. THE REASON THE GOVERNMENT IN MANY STATES WILL NOT CHANGE THE LAW IS BECAUSE MORE THAN 30% OF RETIREES would be found guilty and sent to jail. For commiting crimes while in uniform. And many of these grandfather's and grandmother's yeah women cops included were just as abusive as their male counter parts. Lots of people in very high places would be fired, charged or demoted.
*still runs wild
You better know it was.
I think it’s funny how the officer tells him “ oh I’ll remove your photo from the servers so nobody else will see” but the vid of the whole thing is going to be leaked all over TH-cam! Lol
0.36% and he's holding his own perfectly, you can tell he's a functional alcoholic, probably not his first time driving drunk, just his first time getting caught
wow yes. Good point.
first time getting caught on body cam*
Yep
Yeah. They should probably up the alcohol limit. As currently its way to low. That dude could drive across the state and be fine
The video before this he was swerving into the other lane and didn’t pass the field sobriety test
“I already deleted your mug shot.”
This should show people the blatant corruption within the police departments in this country. Any other person without a badge would NOT get this kind of treatment.
If you watch the other video to the end you can clearly see his mugshot on the paperwork.
I think he just said that to keep him calm.
And yet,there is a stream of comments,on every other video,complaining of the patience and restraint officers show,when dealing with all manner of belligerent dui perps.SMH.
@@nutgone100 It's on the paperwork for record keeping, court etc. The commanding officer, however, removed it from the server itself so that the public, coworkers, etc. wouldn't find/see it.

35 BAC is the equivalent of someone being under general anesthesia before going into surgery.
Big time. Just a little bit higher and you're a risk of death. Holy shit that is fucking high. He shouldn't be able to even talk or sit up. He must have been drinking for many many years to develop that kind of tolerance.

@@sgh45 holy shit
@@bighawaii I agree with the guy before me I'm not trained in dui at all. it probably was lower on scene because the alcohol might not have had time to fully kick in. Either way .36 is so high at anytime of testing. The highest I've blown was a .20 at home on a binge night and felt like I was getting hit with anesthesia and threw up and passed out.
Anyone ever notice how bullish and childish cops act when they get treated like us regular people?
@I Am Who I Am nah hes just a straight prick
I Am Who I Am he’s used to being drunk so it’s not really the alcohol
They didnt treat him like they would regular people. The moment a regular guy failed the FST or said the word "Youre not putting cuffs on me" wouldve been the moment they got rough with the regular guy but instead it was constant apologizing to him for having to arrest him because he broke the law. They wouldve let him go if the body cams and audio wasnt already rolling. This guy was just a dickhead alcoholic who happened to be a police officer. He almost hit someone head on at the beginning of the video. Every one of these videos of officers getting caught driving drunk is all the same obvious bullshit double standard, This is the thin blue line.
Anthony B. Agreed
Hes still being treated way better than "regular people"

Too bad the taxi driver got arrested for impersonating a police officer on the way over.
Funny how when he first walked in he went straight for the office chairs - confused that he was directed over to the perp chair. LOL
Force of habit, probably. He's quite drunk. And at that BAC, the fact that he's not _fucking dead_ tells me he's probably been to work drunk before.
That was a good observation actually.

@Pepi Roni Roni and you are an extremely rare and dying breed.

That would them honest.

It’s crazy how these cops can say “I’m sorry” to him and all yet he’s 4.5 times the legal limit!!!!!!!! Cops curse people out double the limit and tell them they’re disgusting bc they could have killed a family driving yet these guys are saying sorry to him???
Because they're p--sies lol. They're afraid of reprimanding an officer because of either retaliation by the fired officer or other officers turning on them and getting them fired. It's not about genuine concern for the officer, it's that they feel insecure about their job security, as most people do, whereas with a civilian, they know they won't get fired or face potential retaliation. It's extremely cowardly, but that's exactly what it is. Some people act so fake just to keep a job. I'm real everywhere I go, I fear no man.
He seems to be ok...
Simon Pop I think they’re just trying to convince him to comply. Otherwise, he’d just get more angry and not do anything. It’s like when cops question people, they don’t want to act like they think you’re wrong.

@@kljcails: He actually DID get charged and eventually pleaded guilty to DUI. His drivers license was suspended for 7 months plus 6 months additional ignition interlock.

@@KentlandVFD33 it's a hyperbolic statement, good ol' English Language haha
BAC 0.36 would render any non-alcoholic comatose and hospitalized. To reach that BAC without passing out, still walking and talking, this man is an experienced, long-term alcoholic. He has probably driven intoxicated hundreds of times, possibly thousands of times. And finally got caught. This is entirely common for those deep in the fog of alcoholism: "Woe is me", "Life sucks", "It isn't fair", "Give me a break" ... irrational self-pity and rejection of personal responsibility.
He's been caught before, this time cameras made it impossible to sweep under the rug.
I’m sick of watching cops treat other cops who are driving drunk with kid gloves, and continued apologizes. They need to be held to the same standard, if not higher, than the rest of us American citizens do.
no, they need to be held to a higher standard.
They need to be held to a higher account. Hypocritical to bust people for DUI and expect special treatment when THEY do it! We give them the power they need to accept the responsibility. We give them power to PROTECT! Not power to lord it over us and excuse their own indescretions.
I think it’s people that aren’t cops that hold people that get arrested to higher accountability. The normal public looks at criminals way different than people dealing with them every day. From my experience all cops want the best for everyone
Same treatment for ANYONE that is a fellow Mason. It's not just police. It's business men, politicians, etc.

It is STUNNING TO SEE , how immature a police LT., can act when intoxicated. There should be serious repercussions upon a man at this rank, acting this way.
Your feelings are understandable. However, being that drunk means he was unable to fully control his behavior - regardless of the lieutenant's age or title. That's why - when he's detoxed and sober - his family and cop friends should attempt an intervention. I wish him luck. Addiction sucks.

Hallelujah!!
One would like to think that he'd be forced to retire, but I've watched other videos of cops arresting cops for drunk driving and knowing it was recorded on body cam they brag that they know cops that got a DUI and kept their job. They acted like it was fairly common. Disgusting.
What do you mean, "no better"? They treated this guy with kid fucking gloves. They deleted his mugshot. Are they gonna delete anybody else's mugshot to spare them shame?
Retirement as a lieutenant he probably gets a very nice pension. It’s irritating that guys like this get kid gloves treatment while “ Regular “ people get treated like crap . And from some of the comments from the other cops he’s a “ Known “ drunk .
Dang, he's only 47..looks 60...that's alchohol.

deleted his mugshot? they kept innocent peoples posted and caused them to get fired and not get rehired elsewhere!
Giving the middle finger to cops who were trying to help you probably doesn't help much
Their excuse is "police courtesy". Its bullshit, a job title doesn't exclude the effects of alcohol , every human is the same to some degree , just because you have an authoritative position doesnt mean your immune to getting drunk, America isn't close to perfect although what others think. This country needs to re evaluate their laws in every state, police courtesy cannot be an escape goat for everything
I honestly doubt any picture was removed sense this is totally against policy. If anything he was being humored trying to keep him under control. The Lt. and Sargent handling this investigation could be reprimanded or possibly fired if they actually did what was stated simply because this is all being recorded and just like now is public knowledge for the world to watch. I am sure this video was viewed by the prosecutor to check into wether or not this intoxicated Lt. was shown any special privileges. Thank You
Police are sovereign citizens.

He also said he hadn't "been to work for the last five days" and talks about marriage issues. I kinda feel bad for this man, but I'm glad they didn't give him any special treatment.
Who said his career ended? Cops get duis all the time. Hell... a cop in the city where i live got a dui in February. The state trooper arrested him for hitting another car on the highway and the body cam footage got realised to the news cause they had to bring him to the ground cause he wasn't listening and telling the state trooper " I've been on the job 20 years". The judge only made him take a few drinking and driving classes and the police department suspened him for a week and thats it. He only got suspended cause he made the news and the department had no choice but to suspened him cause they didnt want people thinking their cops could get away with shit
ClickReportTo SilenceFreeSpeech cabs ,especially here in ny are a thing..people across the nation, who don’t have credit/debit cards,or who are too poor to be able to buy phones and plans that they can use Uber or Lyft .. shhh you are showing your upscale privilege ignorance
He deleted his mug shot?? Why should he get preferential treatment? Driving at a .36? He was released ROR and mug shot deleted. Wow.
It's us and them. It has been for a very long time.
What we are seeing is on the surface,a root problem exists that knows no favoritism,truth is the justice for all of us
Damn. Isn’t that almost death??? What a pos for driving that unbelievably drunk.
@@kristee4237 If u saw the arrest video he is such a raging alcoholic that he was mostly coherent and even walking around at a .36
@@icarus2k omg. Well good thing he retired. I really hope he got help. That’s crazy to be normal at .36.
This cop had no pity on anyone he ever arrested.I have no pity him!!
Yeah you don't know that.
Why should he have pity om them?
He expected special treatment for himself.
He's actually a good guy , with a drinking problem and other personal problems !
Isn't that kind of ironic how there's two different standards for two different people but when the s*** hits the fan your career is going down the drain sheriff
Sucks when you have to live by the rules you enforce for everyone else, I'm so full of sarcastic sympathy
That sure would not hold my hand or yours like they did him
Officer mike hate his guts since start. I like that
Fuck 12
They only serve each other an the higher government
You guys are disgraceful! He is a man who threw his life as a servant and peace officer away, getting arrested with full proof that no one is above the law and that these cops are out here trying to do the right thing and yet it's never enough for you people. You would rather him have a public hanging so you can spit at his swinging corpse
@@XSyberiousX what are you upset at people for being fed up with police corruption?
These cops aren't doing the right thing because they're moral. They're doing it because they're being recorded.
So no, they don't get patted on the back for doing their jobs.
And this LT threw his career away, but how many people's lives did he ruin for the very same offense? How many breaks for drunk driving did he give out?
So no, it won't be enough until all police corruption ends.
Metro State would have escorted him home
J P it’s true.
He would have been safe and sound in their hands. They would have stopped all 4 lanes if necessary!
Good comment......good comment
Dewitte would have stinky pinkied him in the back of the ambulance.
Lmao Metro state..funnyyyyy 😭😭😭
John, John,John... remember all those civilians you arrested for the same thing? Just comply sir, for your safety and mine. Sit tight, thanks man.
Amen
John got the red carpet treatment in there. You or I would have been clubbed then cuffed.
I know your trying to be funny....But I know John personally and he doesn't even drink this is BS.. If you watch the video instead of typing this ridiculous comment you would see John is not drunk.
@@BlueBARv5 Have you seen the arrest video bud? This guy was wasted and could barely stand straight.
Don't forget. " Oh please John, ,please". Please, please, please.....
They tried every way possible not to embarrass him but he ended up doing it to himself.
For all we know, the man's wife called him in. Probably believed it would be the best way to save his own life, and others that are on the road.

It's not at all clear that he actually deleted anything.
@@terrystop5307 He clearly stated he erased his mugshot for him. Stop sticking up for people treating others better than if they were not police.
He’s arrested, wtf else did you want or expect? No thin blue line bullshit
Anyone else would be on the floor being tased repeatedly to get the cuffs on
He is mad because the " good ole boy" network wasn't on duty that night. He has gotten away with it in the past and they won't let him go. That is why he is pissed .
Dudes been pulled over and let go a dozen times I'll bet.
He will retaliate
In the arrest video he says he wants to access who called him in
Tough. He needs this.
@@tesskaiser2190 with the body cam from the arrest; I’m sure there were several times he got “lucky” and they weren’t on.
So the average person driving drunk can just request not to be handcuffed by the officers. I wasn't even aware that was an option.
You're typically uncuffed during booking. The arresting officer is going back on the road, he'll want his handcuffs back.
Watch Dateline, sometime. You wanna claim that a bunch of would-be child molesters got special treatment too?
I get it, blue man bad, but you're just....
You know...
Wrong.
@@smittywerbenjaegermanjense7376 lmao. I've seen plenty of bookings. Regular peon citizens do not get this treatment. How's that boot taste?

Before camera's he would have had an escort home.
shineryyy - escorts a magic word around these parts! 😂
Read the comments before posting, literally every other comment is that extremely obvious point. This is John, by the way.
@Jeffrey Dohnger a loooooot less people on the road back then at least! Still shitty to sweep it under the rug tho
That’s how it should be
@Jeffrey Dohnger It all depended on the Cop...I was a heavy partier, and a Bouncer at several Clubs...some if them would fuck you over worse, which is what happened to me. I got pulled over by a Cop that went to school with my older brother...who's Ex- girlfriend my brother started throttling. Surely you can figure out I went to jail for DUI, and blew a .04, and was released after proving BAC...he was an asshole.
The entire department needs to be fired for treating this criminal differently than they do others.
.36 is enough to anesthetize the average person. This man must have built up a very high tolerance level. His life and others were spared that day. I hope he surrendered to his error and learned from this. We can all learn from these videos. Thank you
No way he learned when they’re treating him like he did nothing wrong they’re acting like the cameras are the problem.
.36 is coma in a regular temperate drinker. John has had plenty of practice. At his age, his liver wouldn't last a whole lot longer.
In France it is 3.6 grams per liter ?
"I already deleted your mugshot" wonder if a regular peon citizen would be afforded this luxury.
That would depend on how wealthy they are.
They can delete the picture off the camera but I retired from corrections and worked in booking and when you book them in you staple a picture to the report that goes in both their file and to the judge the very time they go to first appearance!
@Who Dat Unfortunately it will always be in the file if you're booked into the jail and if you weren't charged with a crime you wouldn't be booked into the jail. Heck even when you're booked on a writ of bodily attachment you're booked in persay but not necessarily charged with any crime you can easily pay your back due child support and be released but unfortunately if your pictures are taken they will remain in the system regardless! Sorry hope that made sense!
Lol fuk no. They all sorry John and I already deleted this sitting there wit no handcuffs. Only reason he ended up at the station is cuz of the body cams. Before that it would be the normal ride to drop him off at his house while locking a middle class the next 20 mins for a lesser reason
They are B.S. him.
You can tell by his complexion that he has a serious drink problem.
I could tell that by the fact that he's .36% and is still able to walk and talk.
Yes its called a bar room tan.
Long time chronic drunk
Not problem
@@chillywilly7299 Not necessarily called a barroom tan. I have seen white men turn that color if they laugh or get angry. Especially their ears.
what does .36% mean? how much must he have had to drink?
For most people .4 can be fatal, and he wasn't far off at .36, so it certainly appears he's got an alcohol problem and has built up quite a tolerance with being able to conduct himself so well at that level.
If a civilian acted like this while being booked he would be a grease stain on the floor.
Its called professional courtesy. Its like when your thug friends who dont snitch on you evertime you smoke your dope.
People who aren't aggressive or physically resistant are treated with courtesy in almost all instances. I have done this routine many, many times and the only people that have a bad way to go are the ones that create the situation themselves.
@@billshears8538 he absolutely was passively resisting and obstructing. There's absolutely no one who isn't a politician or a cop that would have been able to get away with what he did.
@@billshears8538 "I'm DEFINITELY not doing that!"
And they’d be f handcuffed to the f chair!
whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Yea " IT SUCKS" being on the receiving end . suck it up buttercup !!
steven Del Colliano come on Jerry.
The penalty should be enhanced as he is a cop. Cops should all have enhanced penalties, especially with cases they use brutality or abuse their power. I'm sick of these fucks getting special treatment and so forth. If there wasn't a ton of people that called in about a reckless driver, they would have let this shitbag go. If they pulled him over with nobody calling his driving in, they would have driven him home and had that other guy take his truck.
I don’t get why they’re apologizing to him when he’s the one that broke the law. If only all police officers could be that understanding and gentle with ALL citizens. Who would have thought it?
It's de-escalating a situation and doing what they need to get him to cooperate.
Never in history has a cop repeatedly apologised for charging a regular citizen drunk driver, let alone with a reading that high, which equals dangerous driving, and rightly so. Why is this pos any different?
@@jasonmercier6510 That's bullshit. They wouldn't spend hours de-escalating for a non cop. You'd be xharged for resisting arrest within minutes
I would assume if he’s a lieutenant, he’s probably their boss. There’s obviously a ‘walking on glass’ attitude stemming from a professional hierarchy at play here.
Jon even says “fucking videos!”, implying he’d be given a slap on the wrist and let loose were they not present. Which he very likely would be, considering how they are treating him with kid’s gloves.
The ONLY reason the cops are doing this is because the cameras are giving them no other choice.
@@rekunta I have to agree. The amount of times we hear them apologise and say there's nothing they can do because the camera is on. I also noticed in the last video I watched like this, the sound muted quite a few times, and not when the woman was giving personal details, phone no etc., which seemed a bit strange
The amount of disrespect for his "brothers" is comical, especially with all the breaks they've given him!
"Ok so you know what I have to do right? Are you ok? How are you doing? You know my hands are tied. I don't want to do this. Don't make me do this. I have to do this, I don't want to lose my job. You know the cameras are recording. I wish I could change this. I hope you don't have a problem with me, if so I'm sorry." LOL
RIGHT?
They no longer have that luxury.
Not since body cams & the freedom information act, that they F’ed up on & screwed themselves.
It's actually really good... it's the type of effective de-escalating they should do with everyone. Except they only save it for each other
@@kemp10 just to play devils advocate when dealing with a fellow cop cause they are alot less likely to attack another officer so they feel safer to de-escalate because it most likely wont escalate to bad
you really hate cops huh mikey boy
If he can maintain like that while being more than 4x's the legal limit, this guy is an alcoholic.
Look at his complexion for sure
To me doing anything you regret while drinking makes you an alcoholic, not being able to stop. Alcoholics don’t understand how normal people don’t want to drink. Don’t think about it. Can leave a 1/2 glass of anything. I am a alcoholic, I have tried quitting 1,000s of times felt guilty every morning. I have had 2 DWI’s I have paid my price served my time and feel ashamed. I was .455 . I was toast I never hurt anyone but myself I feel bad for my family and loved ones that I embarrassed and disappointed. On a good note I went through aversion therapy and have no desire to drink do A.A. meetings via zoom have over 300 days sober. I can smile again. I watch these to keep it real. To keep it fresh in my head. If I start up again I will die alone.
It's amazing how well he handles being more than 4x the legal limit. Almost like this is normal for him.
yeah, this isn't his first time in the rodeo 😆
It is. Anything over 3.0 is toxic and people are usually sent to the hospital to be detoxed under observation because on their way down, the majority of them who drink on a regular basis will have seizures while they’re detoxing if they are not treated medically.
Why did you edit out the part where they yell stop resisting and man handle him???? Did I miss that part

He actually isn’t to bad for 4.5x the legal limit, this tells me he’s been a heavy hitter for a LONG time..
He doesn’t walk too too bad, he knows everything that’s going on, it’s a wonder he can stand..
He’s got off and away with this MANY times, but the camera and ONLY the camera catches him this time
I think anyone who has been arrested by this police department should file a discrimination lawsuit if they've been handcuffed and if their mugshot wasn't deleted.
Good luck with that.

Reason he's so messed up about it is 3 years earlier he tracked a hit and run to the door step of one of his fellow officers which resulted in DUI hit and run charges. So he's getting nailed for something pretty similar all be it without property damage. His reputation around there is going to be fucked for life.
