@@kevinduprey9326 impressive how you are really showing your bias in this assertion. Its more likely she lied to the owner that she didn't call the police. You literally see the owners saying having cops nearby is bad for business, if she said she had called the cops its her job that is on the line.
nahh I personally think it was a different customer but she took credit for it when he assumed it was her when he walks in you can see it on her face she doesen't know what's going on.
erratic? you try owning a liquor store that the cops are constantly at. Policiing is normal but harassing specific businesses to the point where its hurting the establishment is ridiculous. Catch them on the road not in their parking lot
@@jearrico Drunk but not a driver. Specifically not a driver. And drunk people are still people. Branding them with a crime doesn't get rid of their personhood. So yeah, what you saw was someone defending someone who was about to be taken advantage of.
@@existenceisrelativetaken advantage of? You do understand that reasonable inference is totally allowed under the law, correct? This guy isn’t being taken advantage of. He broke a law that is entirely reasonable and designed to protect citizens. I’m not a big police fan, but I’m not going to run around claiming people who are very obviously driving while completely hammered are victims (and no, especially NOT when they drove drunk to a liquor store).
Ouch. I grew up out there, and worked ambulance out in the county. This cop was a *saint*, and the casual acceptance of drunk driving as part of life is also typical of the community.
Yeah, that line really killed me, too. He like "If you bust my ass anyway, I'd at least like being on the highest level of 'being wasted' as possible, hrmpf."
Yep, he did his job, though I found the released statement that he should be commended for an extremely challenging situation is ridiculous. Investigating/arresting an obviously drunk dude is the every day ho-hum aspect of the job. The sad implication is that most other officers would have escalated the situation and committed official misconduct. But, yeah, let’s heap praise on a dude just for performing a basic job function without violence or civil rights abuses.
I lost it when the drunk guy said “wow what tf was that about”😂😂he sat in the back of a cop car thinking he was goin to jail and the next minute he looks over to watch a cop get yelled at for what he doesn’t know but he’s being let out of the car and told to walk home drunk😂
You left out the best part where the intoxicated guy was like he shouldn't talk to you like that. He offered to go kick the butt of the guy yelling at the cop. It was funny as heck.
The mayor was worried more about his business than helping the police. He might not be mayor for life, but he can own that liquor store for life. He’s looking long term.
@@JeffOnhill A mayor that ignored a drunk driver for his own monetary gain! That's fucked up! Dosent give a shit it anyone got killed by that drunk driver
@@vikings844 boo hoo 😢 your cops should have waited until they had actual proof instead of being a tyrant and trying to use private infrastructure to benefit the states needs. He very easily could have waited until the guy drove off, but no, he chose to use the private business as his weapon to catch his criminal. Should guy have gone to jail, absofuckinglutely, he was sauced off his rocker. Should the state have to actually catch him about to, has committed crime, or is in the process of committing a crime. Down with tyranny and overreaching government. Up with upstanding citizens standing up for their rights and police doing their job the right way.
I tried to show a local cop a video of property being broken at our house and was given the story that my video did not matter because he did not see the actual event take place & i was like thats what the video is for . Funny how they pick and choose when to watch a video and when to use it in their favor .
They love to sit by restaurants or restaurant/bars , filling stations they get the most bang for the buck/ time of investigating with a hospital and team of court members that have their backs.. real deep investigation is not their forte or training, think a few months what can they possibly know it’s mainly costume and force
Agreed. The cop even admitted to parking across the street to "monitor speed". In a small town with only two liquor focused convenience stores, that seems like a suspicious coincidence.
There clearly is, the dude even said they've told him to leave in the past. Cops do this fairly regularly, they'll sit outside of beer places or bars, and harass the patrons, even if they're not driving drunk. I lived across the street from a bar and seen this very thing happen. Cops were always parked in my parking lot watching the bar, later met the bar owner only to find out it was severely hurting his business to the point everyone went elsewhere to avoid being harassed by the police. The reason why they were pissed he's there doing what he's doing, is because he's harassing their customers, and probably not just the ones who are actually drunk driving. THEN on top of all that he demands the dude take time out of his day to get security footage, telling him that he wouldn't wait until the morning, AND the dude lied to their face.
Noooo you missed the best part of this interaction. The drunk guy after he asked what it was all about offered to beat the store owner up for the police officer
That drunk guy got so damn lucky because he totally could have been sent to jail on DUI. Props to the officer though for staying cool, especially when Mr. Baseball cap was shouting at him at the top of his lungs. That man was either on drugs, drunk himself or has so severe anger issues. At least the drunk guy was pretty chill the entire time lol.
Or he's sick of that cop harassing people... which he mentioned they(police) have been kicked off another property it seems like it's a non stop thing. God knows what shady stuff that guy does but it's very clear they want nothing at all to do with him and that's pretty telling
@@Maker0824 Well it sounded like the second officer had arrested him the day before for the very same thing. So presumably once those charges work their way through the system he would face punishment.
The drunk guy gets a B, although he was clearly drunk, he maintained a calm and respectful attitude and ultimately got saved by the mayor and business owner, therefore avoided getting arrested again!
Saved here isn’t a good thing, he was a drunkard with a reckless mindset (driving). He deserved to be arrested so he wouldn’t be a danger to everyone else and could work on his problems in jail
This is one thing that I truly appreciate ATA for. The goal is to preserve public safety which an arrest can do, but always applaud when the police don’t arrest someone but prevent them for engaging in dangerous activities as seen here. The drunk did not drive away and as he had already been arrested the subsequent arrest would likely have little to no further deterrent effect.
More likely they were thinking about the regular harassment and abuse they deal with at the hands of police. When people react to police at the rare times they are "doing the right thing" it is because of all the times police have failed to do so in the past. Reactions like this are fully justified and are caused by the daily actions of police toward their victims.
@@Don-mi6zl Only if it has been the same cop, else it is projection, and the same thing as when cops thread certan people different that others. Might be understandable, but not justified.
@@Don-mi6zl While the Officer here does seem to be behaving quite properly and in a very civil manner, there does appear to be more going on here. @12:50 "...And you sat across the road over here the other day for an hour and fifteen minutes watching my place..." @13:36 "...I told you that at one business, I'm telling you with this one..." It seems the owner has had previous encounters with the Officer. The Officer may be using the location as a speed-trap (Which would certainly hurt business). Or there may be some kind of harassment involved. The owner certainly comes in very much like someone that has been harassed before...
@@_XR40_ It seemed like the cop also mentioned that the mayor may have asked him to be there at some point...wasn't too clear, but he tried to mention something of the sort. In any case, you can state your case without being a psycho. The owner acted like a child and a freak, there is no justification...even if your buddy is the "mayor".
@@Seattle.Eastside.Aerialshe probably knew who it was based on the situation lol the dude got arrested the day before so it seems like he’s always like this and it’s the best customer the owner would know how he is
I disagree, I think the owner and the manager have had issues with the coward cops. He did say that they were "stalking" his place and interfering with his business.
Fantastic example of an officer rising to the challenge of hostile interactions and acting instead of reacting. He even had a compassionate way of dealing with the drunk being gentle with him. Well done officer!
@@diesellove yeah. Cops are legally allowed to lie to you. In any situation. But, personally, I don’t think the officer meant to lie. Someone did call, I think he was just confused about who called
True lmao, but i have to side with the owner here- A cop sitting there constantly harassing patrons is damaging the business, it’s like spawn camping in a video game, ruins the game all together. he shouldn’t harass the business, just go after those who are drunk driving on the road.
The drunk guy was the most responsible guy in this interaction lol. He managed to get out of this mess without arrest, absolutely genius. His last comment: what was that all about?. This guy is a true diplomat. 😂
If only he was a more responsible drinker. Everyone involved knew that he drove to the liquor store. And while the risk to society might not be as great as in a more populated area he should know better.
Any cop I know would never have confronted the drunk guy in the store. The drunk guy wouldn't have made it to the street, but he would have been allowed to get in the car and operate it long enough for the officer to witness the crime. I watched county sheriff deputies (back home) interact (on the side of the road) with a drunk guy who ran his truck into a ditch for nearly an hour. As soon as the tow truck got the truck out of the ditch, they watched the drunk get behind the wheel (of a seriously smashed up, almost undriveable) vehicle to go home. They instantly arrested him for DUI. Officer gets an A+ for professionalism and an F- for intelligence/common sense. He knew (from the store owners own words) who he was dealing with in that store, and also knew that the simple act of getting behind the wheel and starting the car would have put the defendant in the drunk tank with a future court date for DUI.
@@bobbipson8906 If they deliberately allow a drunk guy to get behind that wheel so they can arrest him, that's not a good thing at all. If they can't stop him quickly before he drives away, he could potentially drive into another vehicle and kill another citizen.
Please share more videos like this! It's nice to see officer get an A rating and hopefully this best practices can be taught to other officer who watch your channel or atleast shared to officers. 🙂
Every video on this channel could be shared law enforcement, not just the ones where officers get an a rating, but especially the ones where they get an F
Even for a drunk, he was able to weave through the cops questions. Answering some and avoiding the incriminating ones. It was kinda impressive. Of course, I'm not condoning it, but considering he was obviously drunk he didn't slip.
sadly, it's commonplace in my state for repeat DUI drivers to get spotted near their houses. i've seen numerous people pull into their drive way and start chugging from a bottle. cause 1, you can't prove i was drunk out there, and 2, the smell can be explained by the bottle i just downed. also, any chemical test will be skewed by the new booze you saw me drink AFTER i turned off the car in my driverway. though, few of them can articulate it nearly so well.
I don't condone drunk driving or impaired driving of any kind but how do you give the officer in a plus when he lied about the phone call. So according to the police chief you and everybody else lying
@@michaelhollingshead838 He did not get clarity on what female reported the guy, assuming it was the clerk was a reasonable, although incorrect assertion. That was a simple, low level misunderstanding with dispatch or something. And reasonable adult would not react the way that one asshole owner did.
I was out in eastern Long Island and got pulled over by a local town cop around 10pm. He asked me how much I had been drinking and I said none. In fact I hadn’t had a drink in 15years and told him that. Which pissed him off. He told me that being a wise ass would get me thrown in jail. I gave to him 3 breathalyzer test and showed no alcohol and I said how did you smell alcohol on me! He then pushed me into the front of his car and handcuffed me! I volunteered to give a blood test and off we went to the hospital. At that time I had cancer and was taking meds but none were narcotics so I wasn’t concerned. I spent the night in jail and had a bail of $500 . When I went to court I was amazed that the judge wanted me to take a drug/alcohol course which I said “For what?? No drugs or alcohol in my body???? “ The judge didn’t care he wanted me in that course because it was $800 and you might have to do a secondary course depending on how you do in the first course. The judge said that because I had a previous DWI is the reason for this sentence. I foolishly said “Judge are you saying that because I had a DWI 27years ago and now got arrested for DUI with no alcohol or drugs in my system I have to go to this 8 week course?” He said Yes you do! I asked him is there any other way? He said he could suspend my license for 90 days and I said GREAT that’s what I will do. So I drove around and never got pulled over and when I went to DMV to renew my license they charged me $700 to get it back. It’s all about the $$$ nothing else!
The law enforcement and judicial system is indistinguishable from the mafia. They spend their working hours to steal your money and time. They take it without compensation, even when you were never in the wrong. The only recourse is to have the financial capacity to go against them in court which is not an option in the first place, and you'll once again pay for that with your money and time.
You should have hired the DUI guy or asked for a jury trial! Never get trial by judge or plead out!.. All my cases have been thrown out the day of the jury trial, they HATE doing jury trials and 9 times out of 10 if it isn't a slam dunk case they just dismiss it...
Mark, I learned something just last month and that is these court fees & fines are used to pay for judges pensions so if they (a judge) lack integrity they will make you come to their court as many times as they can because it is an investment in their own pension !!
Been there too buddy... If he's anything like I was, and all evidence suggests so, he said that with despair and resignation to his fate. I hope he finds his way to sobriety too, for his sake and his community's.
In 2009, I was in a Pennsylvania state liquor store. They were offering "samples" of some tequila. I politely refused and turned the corner of the aisle to see a State Trooper just hanging out in the store. I never went back to that particular store. Talk about entrapping customers.
and this is what im talking about they use the liquor stores for bait to gain revenues that's been going on sense prohibition , bars and liquor stores been fighting this every sense
... you do realize the state trooper was in there for the free shots- when you walked in and he hid around the corner so you wouldn't see him ( or get close enough to smell his breath)😝
I was a law enforcement officer for 2.5 years. I wish our annual in-service training was this in depth in regards to new court cases, court decisions, and law revisions.
Which is why you are good at watching anime and reading manga. Better to stay away from politics or having to arrest a drunk mayor or governor for a DUI or DWI.

I've commented before that police training should include a mandatory of 50 hours (or other amount of hours, the more the better,) of watching Audit the Audit. I think it would put a new dimension in training as far as law and sociology goes. Especially videos that include results of these interactions.
Sounds like the irate owner has dismissed the office off other business property he owns, in a prior circumstance 🤔 There's definitely more to the story.
Pretty sure I know. They sell booze to drunks that sometimes come by car. The police interfers with that lucrative business... Thats why they don't want to hand out the footage and want to protect the guy while not caring about the safety of anyone else that has to drive on the same roads...
Nothing gentle about those men. I dont have loyalty or love to cops but this cop was extreamly polite and respectful. Where as a mayor exploding like this just tells me whoever put him in charge is moronic.
Imagine the ignorance required for one to be blind about Constitutional rights. No one is required to provide shortcuts around Constitutional rights. Want a private video? Easy, just get a warrant as the law requires.
@@darrenlee2775 amen. I’m a business owner and the police WILL encourage, pressure or illegally compel you to provide evidence to them for even the most minor infractions.
There's a clear conflict of interest with that mayor. While he should be a moral figure head he instead is more concerned about protecting illicit activity of his customer base. I've been forced off the road by a drunk driver and had a family member hurt by one. I don't think this would have unfolded this way if the owner of the liquor store wasn't also the mayor. Often these videos see an ugly abuse of power from the police involved but in this scenario you see an ugly abuse of power from a scummy mayor. The attitude change from the employee from when the officer arrived to when her boss arrived seemed like a 180.
Ive had the police come to my house numerous times to get footage of crimes in the neighborhood. I was happy to comply until they got too comfortable....banging on my front door at 2 or 3am on a weeknight. After they started to do that i told them dont come back on my property without a warrant.
@@susuileamura8736 maybe he should stay up all night monitoring the neighborhood and send crime footage directly to the police huh? Wth are you talking about?
Also really bad when a cop who should have arrested the guy but didn't gets an A+. Safety was assured for that ONE night his car was towed, but ideally his driver's license should have been revoked with jail time, insurance rate hike, a strike on his record, etc. It's interesting when a cop arrests somebody by not knowing the law he gets an F, but if a cop doesn't arrest somebody for not knowing the law he gets an A+.
@MJ so women can't consent to sex when they are impaired, but anyone can be interrogated by cops who can legally lie to you to get you to incriminate yourself while impaired . Oh the hypocrisy.
Just sitting across from the liquor store for an hour and a half. You can't sit across from a bar as a cop in missouri either. I'm sure the owner of the liquor store told the drunkard don't ever come here intoxicated again or we will refuse to sell to you.
I'd like to know the backstory on the one cop and the store owner. "I told you with one business, I'll tell you with this one too" kinda says there's more with these two we don't know.
For real everyone claiming the drunk and owner are bff's and my only thought process is the guy couldn't care less about the drunk getting arrested or not his only problem is the fact officer dick weed who's been fucking with his other business is now fucking with customers at another business and the fact the auditor gave the excuse only a drunk would be afraid of cops sitting outside a liquor store is ridiculous when he's always giving good examples of why you should be is scary especially since we just got the video the other day of officers camping a pot shop only to arrest people coming out of the store obviously if you see a man getting arrested outside a pot shop/liquor store you aren't gonna wanna buy from that stores.
Doesn’t matter. I don’t see how the fuck the cop was doing ANYTHING wrong.. dude is drunk and lying.. he obviously drove there… and is being difficult, he SOUNDS exactly like the old scumbag drug addict drunks in my family, that raspy ass voice and entitled attitude
Doing stuff like this is how you turn a good cop into a bad one. Too many interactions like this could make him adopt a cops vs public mentality instead of the serve and protect the public mentality he currently has.
It isn't just the money/power dynamic here, what shows SO solidly is the racial aspect. Both the suspect and the owners are white, middle aged (ish) guys, and no one even got a stern word said to them... bet all the $ if either the suspect or the abusive owner were non-white there would have been a rather different outcome. That being said this Officer Jordan does seem a rarity, so maybe I am wrong and he would've treated them the same no matter. Sidenote: Anyone else think it's a dipsh*t move that worker to call the police then deny/lie about it? Rather hate liars, especially when you have video evidence but then I suppose she doesnt want to risk her job?
It's hilarious that an officer can rely upon an anonymous person's report - a person who may or may not exist - to produce probable cause for a detention and arrest, but that the same evidence from the dashcam or video camera of an ordinary citizen is not enough to produce any police response.
Yeah, imagine someone telling the police that they saw a clearly drunk guy in a liquor store trying to buy more alcohol, and the police just show up and confirm it. Then they ask to see store surveillance to confirm the guy was driving. Those dirty bastards. Keeping drunk people off the road. Who do they think they are? Amiright?
@@daithi1966 imagine if they just sat and watched and ACTUALLY did their job and just let him drive away. And then didn’t lie to citizens they were requesting help from, they might actually get people to help them. Instead their reputation is garbage and they get told to gtfo.
@@dcast777 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he didn't lie. He got a call, thought it was the cashier and was either wrong in that assumption, or, she lied to her boss when he confronted her about it to keep her job. Because of course she would with how he was screaming and carrying on. I know I would.
The drunk wouldn’t have given a fuvk if he woke up in the morning in a Mexican prison with no bail…if you asked him the next day what happened,he would not be able to tell you.

Audit the Audit. Thank you so much for your page. I love watching all of the police interactions both good and bad. I am a full time officer and I am able to learn a lot from the videos and court and law information that you share. Your page is done professionally and shows the full story as much as possible. Again, thank you for everything you do. I will continue to support and share your videos 🙏
Give that officer a bonus! Like seriously, he saved his city thousands in legal fees, a potential crash, loss of life, and thousands in legal fees by respecting the rights of the business owners. Plus this man is a saint throughout this interaction. Give that man a cut of all the money he saved his community. Reward the good, punish the bad and see how fast policing changes in America for the better.
So letting a drunk driver go is a good thing? That officer tried to perform his duty to protect the public. I wonder what you would do if that drunk driver killed one of your loved ones
@@macbuff81The officer did not have evidence to arrest the drunk, so he did his duty in protecting his community by keeping him from driving his vehicle. Just because I don't want drunk drivers does not mean I get to trample on people's rights and skirt the law to make an arrest. Because, and this is important, it won't stick and we will have sacrificed our rights and freedoms for nothing. Now this officer kept the peace, was a saint when being berated, and still got the outcome he wanted, getting the drunk man to not drive. Try again.
He told the officer that I wouldn’t take that…I would knock him out of Frame if he talked to me like that, take me over there…I’ll whoop him for you. (I don’t think that was his exact words but It was something along those lines) Right after he said the “what was that about?” part😭😭
That’s a small town for you. I’ve been to Houston many times - been to that liquor store /gas station. It’s a rural Missouri small town - everybody knows everybody and/or is all up in each other’s shit - if not directly then through the grapevine. Hope that explains why he’s so curious about, “what the F was that all about?!?” 🙄
Eh, you are lawfully required to ID when there is RAS of a crime. He was detained under RAS of DUI, and is thus lawfully required to ID. He intentionally failed to do so which is obstruction (misdemeanor crime). Police are legally authorized to search an arrested person, and he was in clear violation of the law and was subject to arrest. Basically had the cop said, "fine, you're under arrest" you would have had nothing to comment on. Yes he was not technically under arrest, but he could have been and the cop used discretion to not go beyond the required level of force in issuing an arrest when it is far less intrusive to simply just get the wallet he would have got post-arrest.
@Cryptic Cobra not always. In some states you must be lawfully arrested before you're required to ID. RAS is required to detain but isn't a pass to do more then a Terry stop which is a pat down frisk for weapons for officer safety. A wallet isn't a weapon. Going into the pocket without consent or reasonable determination of a weapon is still a no no. Again state by state. In most cases though going into a pocket for ID during detention is a fail. As far as the obstructing charge, refusing to assist the officers in building a case is not an obstruction. Most states detail that a physical act is required to obstruct (flushing drugs, bleaching a bloody knife, physically impeding or restraining the cop, etc...). IF the demand for ID was legal in this state and circumstance they might be able to hit him with failure to follow a lawful order which is typically a much lesser charge.
@@222valas Yep. And even though some states are considered “stop and ID”, they still need RAS to get your ID. Because if they didn’t, cops would stand at the door of Walmart asking for everyone’s ID as they walked out the door to run them for warrants. In Texas penal code 38.02 says you only have to ID when you’ve been LAWFULLY ARRESTED. There is no law in ANY state that says we have to ID because a cop asked nicely. 😂😂
The drunk driver gets an A+ for not incriminating himself and for keeping a calm demeanor the whole time! That’s a good example of keeping your mouth shut and is what more people should do when dealing with the cops! People seem to forget they have that right!
There's zero evidence shown that he was drinking before he got there, especially when he gets caught lying about who called and pretty much caused the guy to get pissed. Cops can't keep blatantly lying and then act all confused why people don't trust them. The TH-camrs trying to show good interaction, do themselves a disservice by ignoring the cops lies and the anger a police officer lying about a case can cause.
@@NoMoreBsPlease The officer was too quick to assume it was one of the employees who made that call. He could also have misunderstood, and not intentionally lied about it. And that one guy was fuming and pissed before he even started talking, I wouldn't count on his perception or understanding of the situation in any capacity. And I am completely disagreeing with you on you latter statement. This channel in particular showcase both the good and the bad. If you only show the wrongdoings, that's a massive disservice to communities with good relationships between the police and the citizens. Ignoring either side is obviously bad, but this channel is not guilty of that from the several videos I've seen. There are multiple cases shown on this channel were the police are in the wrong, as well as the other way around.
Well, that could be easy to explain. He could, in lack of video evidence, has told that the car has been there for many days which he could not remember because he was drunk. Thats sufficient reasonable doubt right there. I hate DUI as much as anybody, but the drunk man should get a A- for sticking to his story and not telling too much.
If the idea of laws, in particular DWI laws, are to protect the public, then WTF is going on when politicians, cops, high paid public office employees and wealthy people when found drunk, are exempt.
All these comments pro-drunk driving ... are you people insane? Or just drunk now? Driving while drunk used to be considered a DEFENSE is someone became involved in an accident. Then a woman's small son was killed and the driver let off with a caution. She started Mothers Against Drunk Driving ... and the U.S. changed.
That’s all sorts of tricky. Pleading the fifth cannot be used against you, but certain other refusals can. Refusing the breath test alone would be insufficient, but can contribute to the probable cause. In this case though I’d argue that there is sufficient probable cause for an arrest even without that consideration. Between the presence of his car, the behavior, the witness statement, and the smell of alcohol there is sufficient probable cause for the arrest. Remember, probable cause does not mean sufficient for a conviction. Failure to prosecute or obtain a conviction at trial does not mean an arrest was unlawful.
reffering to the driver: Would you like both your baby daughter and your wife to get blasted on a fricking sidewalk by a drunk driver? I wouldn't. If one is stoned and refuses to take a fcking 5-second test, they can be subjected to other, forced methods to determine their state of intoxication (or lack there of). The idea is simple: it's not a privacy thing, so if you are indeed innocent, you will take it as a good and caring citizen, because fck drunk drivers. reffering to the owner: If you care more about a few bucks and/or a shady bussiness you have on the back, then yes, refuse a guy viewing your fcking precious tapes for 5 minutes. The officer respected his tapes and the person behaved like a lil bitch, so no: you might have your fcking rights exercised, but you are not in THE right here. (as in me talking to the owner, not you)

The Mayor and a random shop owner shop up to a police interaction and immediately start raging mad, I can't imagine the corruption going on in that town. Genuinely a great police officer.
According to something I heard the Mayor say... apparently AN officer was parked across the street from the store the day before, possibly harassing customers? And he's had problems with officers parking across the street from other businesses and possibly harassing customers? If that is the case, then perhaps there is more to this situation than we've been allowed to see.
Absolutely. It sounds like this cop posts up outside the baseball cap guy's businesseshi, wch in turn probably costs him big $., like the mayor alluded to. Especially if he owns liquor stores in a small town, which this appears to be.
@@InvertedFreeSolo it’s disgusting to be fine with people drunk driving because they bought from your store the mayor and his partner are shitty people clearly
I was thinking the cops had the "audacity" to pull over the mayor and/or owner drunk at some point and try to hold them accountable. This seems like one of those rural towns that thinks drunk driving is no big deal.
Still doesn't give them the right to cuss them out when they're trying to investigate a call about a drunk driver. They seem to forget, that if that guy had left and got into an accident, they are liable and could lose their liquor license. So they do have a responsibility to keep drunk drivers off the road.
@@jyster18 They have every right to cuss the officers out and tell them to leave.. They shouldn't have, it shows their negligence. But it's entirely within their rights as they did not break any laws and are entitled to tell the officers to leave their property unless a warrant is served.
@@TehLastRonin I agree. They do have the freedom to cuss them out. But as far as letting a drunk driver operate a vehicle off their property. idk what the law of texas is on that, but i know in my state, every business has the right to refuse service if they believe a person is too intoxicated to drive, and if we did sell to that customer, and they got into an accident, we as a business are liable, and face charges for it. Stuff like that varies from state to state, so as i said, im not entirely too sure on what the law is in houston texas.
@@fuccjkole8524 In my state thats what happens. Sorry, Im unfamiliar with texas law in this kinds of scenarios. I'm just using my knowledge from what I know about my state that I live in. Am I wrong? I could be, I do not know. But what a business owner should do, is kept that guy off the road from driving, instead of letting him drive drunk, and let him leave drunk. That's also just bad business practices in my personal opinion.
I love this page because it is completely unbiased and impartial. Giving the officer an A+ proves how unbiased and impartial Audit the Audit is good job
Just wanna say thank you for all the effort you put into these videos, really good content and highly informative, I learn a lot and always look forward to watching your videos thank you
Years ago in Louisiana I actually witnessed an event like this happen. A Sheriff Deputy pulled into a junkyard I was in and was trying to arrest a guy there for drunk driving. The owner ordered the cop off the property cuz he did not see the guy driving the car. The deputy refused to leave and there was a big shouting match. The owner of the junkyard called the state police and the state police Trooper told the sheriff he had to leave. About a week later the FBI had raided the sheriff's department and arrested the sheriff for falsifying drunk-driving cases against soldiers who were stationed at Fort Polk. I would say that guy had no business driving as drunk as he was. He the type of drunk the harsh drunk driving laws were made for, and not the .o5 people who make up the majority of DD CASES in America today.
I think that cashier lied. She for sure called them and changed her story after the two guys bullied everyone around them. One minute she says I’m so glad you came when you did to I didn’t call you
I wouldn’t be surprised if they threatened to fire her if she had called them… he seemed like he had several screws lose. Hope she finds a better job or at least a better boss.
I can only imagine what goes on in this town with a mayor like this. Just wow he did say he thought they were watching his place. Maybe he’s under investigation.
Maybe he didn’t want cops knowing locations of cameras cause the cops are thieves. Being from carter co. Mo. Where the sheriff was arrested for selling meth. I don’t automatically think the mayor is bad.
@@CrypticCobra mayor dude had huge ego, he was waiting for this moment to flex. It's common sense to keep the drunkie off the street for his safety and others, at least for the time being intoxicated. I guess common sense isn't so common 🤷♂️
@@SheanaOBrien1985 youd rather a drunk guy kill someone in a car crash and mayor gets his little happy ego moment then him just show the clip and someone’s child get to live out their lives? use ur common sense
We had a similar situation happen to my friends and I one night! We were on the way to the bar and my buddy drove his car but I was going to drive back as I was the DD for the night. Obviously he didn’t drink until we got to the bar. Anyway on the way to the bar this lady was driving like a lunatic and almost hit us. We didn’t pay any attention to it thought but apparently she called the cops saying my buddy was driving erratically like a possible drunk driver 🤦♂️ so when we were at the bar 3 cops walked in asking the bartenders if they could see the cameras. After they came out of the office they walked straight up to my buddy and put him in handcuffs. Saying he was arrested for drunk driving! At this point I just told my buddy to shut up and invoke his right to be silent. After like an hour of this crap going on the cops finally let him go cause they realized they didn’t have enough evidence of him actually driving to the bar drunk. Shit was ridiculous. That case would of definitely got thrown out if they did decide to charge him. One cop even stayed in the parking lot until we left just to make sure it was me that was getting in the driver seat. And even when I did pull out he got behind me n followed us halfway back home! Just waiting to see if I was going to fuck up someway so he could pull me over.
My father was a cop and I was one once .. if a cop wants to pull you over . They can just follow you for a mile or 2 and find something you didn't do exactly by the book of driver ed
I am so glad you shared your story and I have so so so so so many of my own stories and I shared a couple of them above this posting of yours but it is truly crazy that the majority of Americans have absolutely no clue how 99.9 per cent of all men and that includes women who are acting as law enforcement are entitled son-of-a-b**** has and with qualified immunity the 99% don't give a goddamn about a man they just wish to make money and they make money every time they take someone to jail

The drunk guy seemed incredibly reasonable and complaint with lawful orders, plus he seemed like he was having a hell of a time as well. The cop did an outstanding job and kept his cool where i've seen many lose it for much less. the owner that wasn't the mayor seemed pretty reasonable as well, but the mayor on the other hand was fuming because the cop requested the footage and had a completely unreasonable response with such calm and collected officers.
Owner said the cops wait across the street for his customers damaging his business. They go elsewhere for fuel so as not to be underneath these fishers noses.
@@michealmcknight2568 Shouldn't be.... Nothing worse than too many cops in a one stop-sign town. They go from helping people to screwing everyone real quick.
@@mirrorsngdI mean if they were doing that why couldn’t he have observed him get into his car with his keys and then stop him prior to driving? That at least proves intent?
I managed 5 franchise dealerships for 15 years on a state route. Police would routinely "run traffic" in front of our ford store. I finally got tired of it and told them politely to "stop." And now I get pulled over everywhere I go. Police, sheriffs can all go to hell. As a business operator they need to understand the impact they have on sitting on private! I say again Private!

@@patriciaevans5906 This is the rationale people use for surveillance states.

Coming from a small town myself, I understand how the police can plant themselves at specific hot spots upsetting the community. Our police got heat for placing a speed trap on the highway that runs though the town and setting on it while the local Dairy Queen was being actively robbed. this was not the first time this sort of thing happened either. I think The Mayor and others may have a history with the Police this video did not cover.
At my hometown there’s a corner people like to whip around, sometimes they’ll park an unused cruiser there to give people a scare. But it’s such a small town near a tourist spot they’re mostly there in case a tourist steals something.
Big difference in "camping out" in front of a business. But police and communities use statistical data to direct patrols for proactive enforcement and shorter response times. You can't complain about visible policing then complain when you have a problem and don't like the lack of a quick response.
@@donh6416 "police and communities use statistical data" ... Podunkville PD is not operating under six sigma. I'm not saying they aren't using any factual observations of incident frequency, but it isn't big data, just common sense. Sometimes. And police departments large and small -- especially small -- do all sorts of arbitrary things out of spite, just to show some uncooperative members of the community "who's the boss".
It feels vaguely dangerous that the mayor of a town is this cavalier about drunk drivers in his town. The outburst from the other guy seems unreasonable.
He didn't keep the cops from doing their job, they got him. What they are upset about is the violation of rights. The officers can get a LAWFUL SUUBPEONA instead of demanding a seizure take place. Mayor was well within his rights. The one responsible for being drunk and driving is the drunk driver.
why were they all protecting a drunk driver who could have easily killed innocent people? And why was the guy in the baseball cap so angry and telling the cop he was done with his crap? That guy and the mayor are mental. However I dont blame people for hating cops and not wanting to help them.. so many of them are bad apples they bring it on themselves.
@@AbBc-w4q So your obviously on the side of throwing away liberties in the name of security, I wonder what other freedoms will you throw away in the name of security, a bug in every device to check for criminal activity perhaps?
You should have given the drunk driver a B+ cos he knew not to lie about being the owner of the car but was wise enough to deny drinking or consent to a breathalyser.
yeah I don't support him driving drunk, but he handled that well. he also was very compliant, and one of the most polite drunk people I haveever seen in a police encounter video. he had enough self-control to not make things worse.
@@svenjorgensenn8418 I’d be angry if he wasnt that zealous about such a clearly impaired driver. I’m so sick of these winks and nods. This guy was very clearly a danger to others on the road and was very clearly not safe to drive.
He didn't let any drunk driver loose. He let a person who was previously driving and on foot go home. The guy didn't wreck, didn't hurt a soul. He made sure he didn't get back behind the wheel and showed him mercy and grace. Not every drunk driver is a murderer or even a threat. Case in point, I go snowboarding every year, I can drink way past the "legal limit" and fly down a mountain at 60+mph, precisely land on rails, etc. So driving a car is a simple task. I get why the laws are in place , but they are abused by police and enforced incorrectly. I would estimate I'm a better driver even while intoxicated than over 50% of sober drivers. Because I actually pay attention, respect the dangers associated with driving and actually took the time to learn how to drive. We just hand so many people driver's license with barely any knowledge, then they don't pay attention, they don't understand the danger of what happens in a car crash, they drive selfishly, play on their phones, etc. Everyone definitely has a point of where they can't drive after drinking but it's definitely not where the law claims, atleast for me. With all that said I don't drink and drive not because I can't, but because I don't want to go to jail and truthfully don't really even drink anymore, but this will always upset me just like that stupid seatbelt law........got to go ride my Sport Bike now with no seat belt , doors or roof. Y'all have a wonderful day ✌️

@@chrisfs150the reasonable suspicion is seeing the drunk guy alone with his car in the lot after receiving a call. Do you think dispatch did NOT receive a call?
It's important to point out that when police want to get information from citizens it is always "come on help out about the police, be a nice guy. " But whenever we want to get information from the police we're treated like shit. Police body cams suddenly go missing or the data is corrupted whenever they do something illegal.
There a re a ton, I mean a whole ton of videos showing bad behaviors from PO. Go spit your venom on them and let this one alone, can you? This PO right here did a hell of a good job. I'd have lost my usually good temper in front of this agressive and yelling owner. DUI ain't no joke, these persons kill people, each day of the year. And this guy was ok with it, as long as he's the one selling the booze to them? Disgusting to say the least.
Finally someone who doesn't give cop A+. This cop stalks citizens and the owners see that and do something to protect their property and others. cops can legally lie...but that doesn't make it right before citizens and God. Angels are recording every lie and a debit is being created.
@@SgtDuster I know cops that kill people also, Tyre Nichols ring a bell? I understand DUI's but if you would have lost your temper it is people like you who give cops a bad name based upon that behavior.

Tell me something, why moron for a mayor is going to do something to alienate his police department. And this guy working at the gas station really needs to chill out. If I had been in that cop's shoes, I might have arrested him for disorderly conduct!
The beautiful thing is the drunk guy and the cop actually remained pretty friendly to each other, even if they had incompatible goals. I love their little exchange in the end: "Jeeze, what was that all about", "Ah, it's whatever man" (i.e., drunk guy doesn't want a fine, and cop doesn't want DUIs)
i very rarely side with officers in these cases but good god i don’t think there’s a single thing that officer did wrong. like what a strange interaction
He didn't do anything wrong, although he did lie or maybe he was misinformed and thought the clerk had called. But they weren't going to give him footage because as a liquor store that would have been the death knell of their business. I can see their side of it as well.
@@msdarby515 how would that be the death knell of their business? Anymore then if that guy drove off drunk, and killed somebody. Who would want their business connected to that?
I think it's important for police to establish a good rapport with the public and especially with the business community. As mayor, the business owner should have contacted the Sheriff and had a conversation about the officer consistently parking across from the store. They could have worked together to resolve the issue rather than allowing it to become adversarial. This is where police get it wrong. They should work with the community, not against them.
@@falconquest2068 However, according to the conversation we can see from the body cam, the mayor had asked the officer to watch the traffic, and wherever he set up was presumably the patch of road meant by the mayor, as the 'trouble spot'. The mayor basically threw the cop under the bus by falsely claiming in front of his business partner that he didn't mean to set up there. If the mayor really didn't want the cop to set up there, he could have clarified his request _to the cop._
Excellent police work! Calm, respectful, did his due diligence to make sure the driver did in fact drive, and did a great job remaining professional even when the owner started screaming at him. We need more cops like this man!
*The drunk driver gets a B- because, although he was drunk, he wasn’t as bad as he can get*

Funny how they pick and choose when to watch a video and when to use it in their favor .
They love to sit by restaurants or restaurant/bars , filling stations they get the most bang for the buck/ time of investigating with a hospital and team of court members that have their backs.. real deep investigation is not their forte or training, think a few months what can they possibly know it’s mainly costume and force
Try small claims court. Video does matter.
Whew just goes to show you how messed up LEO are.

That's like saying they can't investigate a murder because they didn't see it
I believe there's more going on between these guys and this officer than just this incident
There has to be, they were annoyed when they got there and referenced past events.
Agreed. The cop even admitted to parking across the street to "monitor speed". In a small town with only two liquor focused convenience stores, that seems like a suspicious coincidence.
Like Maybe waiting for anybody to buy alcohol and follows them and stops them
There clearly is, the dude even said they've told him to leave in the past. Cops do this fairly regularly, they'll sit outside of beer places or bars, and harass the patrons, even if they're not driving drunk. I lived across the street from a bar and seen this very thing happen. Cops were always parked in my parking lot watching the bar, later met the bar owner only to find out it was severely hurting his business to the point everyone went elsewhere to avoid being harassed by the police.
The reason why they were pissed he's there doing what he's doing, is because he's harassing their customers, and probably not just the ones who are actually drunk driving. THEN on top of all that he demands the dude take time out of his day to get security footage, telling him that he wouldn't wait until the morning, AND the dude lied to their face.
they're ignorant hillbillies, that's what's going on. I'd bet a thousand dollars made have turned over that video if the driver was black
Noooo you missed the best part of this interaction. The drunk guy after he asked what it was all about offered to beat the store owner up for the police officer

That drunk guy got so damn lucky because he totally could have been sent to jail on DUI.

At least the drunk guy was pretty chill the entire time lol.
Or he's sick of that cop harassing people... which he mentioned they(police) have been kicked off another property it seems like it's a non stop thing. God knows what shady stuff that guy does but it's very clear they want nothing at all to do with him and that's pretty telling

@jhs3184 Right because criminals are never repeat offenders and after they are caught strictly follow all laws.
The drunk guy gets a B, although he was clearly drunk, he maintained a calm and respectful attitude and ultimately got saved by the mayor and business owner, therefore avoided getting arrested again!
The town drunk is great for local business
Let's hope he learned from this close call with law enforcement.
Saved here isn’t a good thing, he was a drunkard with a reckless mindset (driving). He deserved to be arrested so he wouldn’t be a danger to everyone else and could work on his problems in jail
This is one thing that I truly appreciate ATA for. The goal is to preserve public safety which an arrest can do, but always applaud when the police don’t arrest someone but prevent them for engaging in dangerous activities as seen here. The drunk did not drive away and as he had already been arrested the subsequent arrest would likely have little to no further deterrent effect.

The owner and mayor were thinking, “We’re going to lose our best customer if this cop gets the footage!”
Yeah, and possibly the employee almost lost their job over it too (if it was her or the other female)
More likely they were thinking about the regular harassment and abuse they deal with at the hands of police. When people react to police at the rare times they are "doing the right thing" it is because of all the times police have failed to do so in the past.

As soon as the tow truck got the truck out of the ditch, they watched the drunk get behind the wheel (of a seriously smashed up, almost undriveable) vehicle to go home. They instantly arrested him for DUI. Officer gets an A+ for professionalism and an F- for intelligence/common sense. He knew (from the store owners own words) who he was dealing with in that store, and also knew that the simple act of getting behind the wheel and starting the car would have put the defendant in the drunk tank with a future court date for DUI.
@@bobbipson8906 If they deliberately allow a drunk guy to get behind that wheel so they can arrest him, that's not a good thing at all. If they can't stop him quickly before he drives away, he could potentially drive into another vehicle and kill another citizen.
Please share more videos like this! It's nice to see officer get an A rating and hopefully this best practices can be taught to other officer who watch your channel or atleast shared to officers. 🙂
Every video on this channel could be shared law enforcement, not just the ones where officers get an a rating, but especially the ones where they get an F
For real, this is the first time im seeing an officer get a higher rating than the citizen
Even for a drunk, he was able to weave through the cops questions. Answering some and avoiding the incriminating ones. It was kinda impressive. Of course, I'm not condoning it, but considering he was obviously drunk he didn't slip.

sadly, it's commonplace in my state for repeat DUI drivers to get spotted near their houses. i've seen numerous people pull into their drive way and start chugging from a bottle. cause 1, you can't prove i was drunk out there, and 2, the smell can be explained by the bottle i just downed. also, any chemical test will be skewed by the new booze you saw me drink AFTER i turned off the car in my driverway. though, few of them can articulate it nearly so well.

I was out in eastern Long Island and got pulled over by a local town cop around 10pm. He asked me how much I had been drinking and I said none. In fact I hadn’t had a drink in 15years and told him that. Which pissed him off. He told me that being a wise ass would get me thrown in jail. I gave to him 3 breathalyzer test and showed no alcohol and I said how did you smell alcohol on me! He then pushed me into the front of his car and handcuffed me! I volunteered to give a blood test and off we went to the hospital. At that time I had cancer and was taking meds but none were narcotics so I wasn’t concerned. I spent the night in jail and had a bail of $500 . When I went to court I was amazed that the judge wanted me to take a drug/alcohol course which I said “For what?? No drugs or alcohol in my body???? “ The judge didn’t care he wanted me in that course because it was $800 and you might have to do a secondary course depending on how you do in the first course. The judge said that because I had a previous DWI is the reason for this sentence. I foolishly said “Judge are you saying that because I had a DWI 27years ago and now got arrested for DUI with no alcohol or drugs in my system I have to go to this 8 week course?” He said Yes you do! I asked him is there any other way? He said he could suspend my license for 90 days and I said GREAT that’s what I will do. So I drove around and never got pulled over and when I went to DMV to renew my license they charged me $700 to get it back. It’s all about the $$$ nothing else!
The law enforcement and judicial system is indistinguishable from the mafia. They spend their working hours to steal your money and time. They take it without compensation, even when you were never in the wrong. The only recourse is to have the financial capacity to go against them in court which is not an option in the first place, and you'll once again pay for that with your money and time.
You should have hired the DUI guy or asked for a jury trial! Never get trial by judge or plead out!.. All my cases have been thrown out the day of the jury trial, they HATE doing jury trials and 9 times out of 10 if it isn't a slam dunk case they just dismiss it...
Mark, I learned something just last month and that is these court fees & fines are used to pay for judges pensions so if they (a judge) lack integrity they will make you come to their court as many times as they can because it is an investment in their own pension !!

If he's anything like I was, and all evidence suggests so, he said that with despair and resignation to his fate. I hope he finds his way to sobriety too, for his sake and his community's.
Legally speaking, that statement was an admission of guilt, and the cop absolutely had grounds for an arrest.
That cop has the highest level of patience I’ve ever seen. Props to him. 💯

I've commented before that police training should include a mandatory of 50 hours (or other amount of hours, the more the better,) of watching Audit the Audit. I think it would put a new dimension in training as far as law and sociology goes. Especially videos that include results of these interactions.
I wonder what kind of previous interactions those two gentlemen had with that department to elicit such a strong reaction from them.
Sounds like the irate owner has dismissed the office off other business property he owns, in a prior circumstance 🤔 There's definitely more to the story.
Pretty sure I know. They sell booze to drunks that sometimes come by car. The police interfers with that lucrative business... Thats why they don't want to hand out the footage and want to protect the guy while not caring about the safety of anyone else that has to drive on the same roads...

There's a clear conflict of interest with that mayor. While he should be a moral figure head he instead is more concerned about protecting illicit activity of his customer base.
I've been forced off the road by a drunk driver and had a family member hurt by one. I don't think this would have unfolded this way if the owner of the liquor store wasn't also the mayor.
Often these videos see an ugly abuse of power from the police involved but in this scenario you see an ugly abuse of power from a scummy mayor.

Ive had the police come to my house numerous times to get footage of crimes in the neighborhood. I was happy to comply until they got too comfortable....banging on my front door at 2 or 3am on a weeknight. After they started to do that i told them dont come back on my property without a warrant.

Dui is a bs charge anyways.
Just another infraction on our rights.
Also really bad when a cop who should have arrested the guy but didn't gets an A+.
Safety was assured for that ONE night his car was towed, but ideally his driver's license should have been revoked with jail time, insurance rate hike, a strike on his record, etc.
It's interesting when a cop arrests somebody by not knowing the law he gets an F, but if a cop doesn't arrest somebody for not knowing the law he gets an A+.

For real everyone claiming the drunk and owner are bff's and my only thought process is the guy couldn't care less about the drunk getting arrested or not his only problem is the fact officer dick weed who's been fucking with his other business is now fucking with customers at another business and the fact the auditor gave the excuse only a drunk would be afraid of cops sitting outside a liquor store is ridiculous when he's always giving good examples of why you should be is scary especially since we just got the video the other day of officers camping a pot shop only to arrest people coming out of the store obviously if you see a man getting arrested outside a pot shop/liquor store you aren't gonna wanna buy from that stores.
Doesn’t matter. I don’t see how the fuck the cop was doing ANYTHING wrong.. dude is drunk and lying.. he obviously drove there… and is being difficult, he SOUNDS exactly like the old scumbag drug addict drunks in my family, that raspy ass voice and entitled attitude

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

I guess that's what happens when you ruin the mayor's business and "make" them come into said business to help you protect innocent drivers.
It's hilarious that an officer can rely upon an anonymous person's report - a person who may or may not exist - to produce probable cause for a detention and arrest, but that the same evidence from the dashcam or video camera of an ordinary citizen is not enough to produce any police response.
It's a wild world we live in.

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

Nope, he gets an F for driving in a state where he could barely communicate rationally, are you for real?

Suspect: "Yep!" _3_ _seconds_ _later_ "I ain't been driving!"
Drunk people never fail to disappoint.😂
There's zero evidence shown that he was drinking before he got there, especially when he gets caught lying about who called and pretty much caused the guy to get pissed. Cops can't keep blatantly lying and then act all confused why people don't trust them. The TH-camrs trying to show good interaction, do themselves a disservice by ignoring the cops lies and the anger a police officer lying about a case can cause.
@@NoMoreBsPlease The officer was too quick to assume it was one of the employees who made that call. He could also have misunderstood, and not intentionally lied about it.
And that one guy was fuming and pissed before he even started talking, I wouldn't count on his perception or understanding of the situation in any capacity.
And I am completely disagreeing with you on you latter statement. This channel in particular showcase both the good and the bad. If you only show the wrongdoings, that's a massive disservice to communities with good relationships between the police and the citizens.
Ignoring either side is obviously bad, but this channel is not guilty of that from the several videos I've seen. There are multiple cases shown on this channel were the police are in the wrong, as well as the other way around.
Well, that could be easy to explain. He could, in lack of video evidence, has told that the car has been there for many days which he could not remember because he was drunk. Thats sufficient reasonable doubt right there. I hate DUI as much as anybody, but the drunk man should get a A- for sticking to his story and not telling too much.

It blows my mind that exercising rights to refuse can make things worse. Seems like it's not much of a right
That’s all sorts of tricky. Pleading the fifth cannot be used against you, but certain other refusals can. Refusing the breath test alone would be insufficient, but can contribute to the probable cause. In this case though I’d argue that there is sufficient probable cause for an arrest even without that consideration. Between the presence of his car, the behavior, the witness statement, and the smell of alcohol there is sufficient probable cause for the arrest. Remember, probable cause does not mean sufficient for a conviction. Failure to prosecute or obtain a conviction at trial does not mean an arrest was unlawful.
reffering to the driver:
Would you like both your baby daughter and your wife to get blasted on a fricking sidewalk by a drunk driver? I wouldn't.
If one is stoned and refuses to take a fcking 5-second test, they can be subjected to other, forced methods to determine their state of intoxication (or lack there of). The idea is simple: it's not a privacy thing, so if you are indeed innocent, you will take it as a good and caring citizen, because fck drunk drivers.
reffering to the owner:
If you care more about a few bucks and/or a shady bussiness you have on the back, then yes, refuse a guy viewing your fcking precious tapes for 5 minutes.

@@TehLastRonin I agree. They do have the freedom to cuss them out. But as far as letting a drunk driver operate a vehicle off their property. idk what the law of texas is on that, but i know in my state, every business has the right to refuse service if they believe a person is too intoxicated to drive, and if we did sell to that customer, and they got into an accident, we as a business are liable, and face charges for it.

@@fuccjkole8524 In my state thats what happens. Sorry, Im unfamiliar with texas law in this kinds of scenarios. I'm just using my knowledge from what I know about my state that I live in. Am I wrong? I could be, I do not know. But what a business owner should do, is kept that guy off the road from driving, instead of letting him drive drunk, and let him leave drunk. That's also just bad business practices in my personal opinion.
I love this page because it is completely unbiased and impartial. Giving the officer an A+ proves how unbiased and impartial Audit the Audit is good job
There is a long history between those 2 yelling men and the police. I'd dying to know it!
I agree there is much more going on here.
They keep staking out his liquor stores i can see why he'd be upset especially since no one called them there to start with.
The owner seems to have anger management issues.

Well the cops do not like drunk driving, and the business owner do like drunk drivers. They are good customers.

Years ago in Louisiana I actually witnessed an event like this happen. A Sheriff Deputy pulled into a junkyard I was in and was trying to arrest a guy there for drunk driving. The owner ordered the cop off the property cuz he did not see the guy driving the car. The deputy refused to leave and there was a big shouting match. The owner of the junkyard called the state police and the state police Trooper told the sheriff he had to leave. About a week later the FBI had raided the sheriff's department and arrested the sheriff for falsifying drunk-driving cases against soldiers who were stationed at Fort Polk.
I would say that guy had no business driving as drunk as he was. He the type of drunk the harsh drunk driving laws were made for, and not the .o5 people who make up the majority of DD CASES in America today.
I think that cashier lied. She for sure called them and changed her story after the two guys bullied everyone around them. One minute she says I’m so glad you came when you did to I didn’t call you
I wouldn’t be surprised if they threatened to fire her if she had called them… he seemed like he had several screws lose. Hope she finds a better job or at least a better boss.
I can only imagine what goes on in this town with a mayor like this. Just wow he did say he thought they were watching his place. Maybe he’s under investigation.
Maybe he didn’t want cops knowing locations of cameras cause the cops are thieves. Being from carter co. Mo. Where the sheriff was arrested for selling meth. I don’t automatically think the mayor is bad.
Key moment: Private citizens are under absolutely no obligation to assist law enforcement in an investigation.
cool, doesn't mean they can't be publically shamed for an overall lack of morality
@@CrypticCobra mayor dude had huge ego, he was waiting for this moment to flex. It's common sense to keep the drunkie off the street for his safety and others, at least for the time being intoxicated. I guess common sense isn't so common 🤷♂️

We had a similar situation happen to my friends and I one night! We were on the way to the bar and my buddy drove his car but I was going to drive back as I was the DD for the night. Obviously he didn’t drink until we got to the bar. Anyway on the way to the bar this lady was driving like a lunatic and almost hit us. We didn’t pay any attention to it thought but apparently she called the cops saying my buddy was driving erratically like a possible drunk driver 🤦♂️ so when we were at the bar 3 cops walked in asking the bartenders if they could see the cameras. After they came out of the office they walked straight up to my buddy and put him in handcuffs. Saying he was arrested for drunk driving! At this point I just told my buddy to shut up and invoke his right to be silent. After like an hour of this crap going on the cops finally let him go cause they realized they didn’t have enough evidence of him actually driving to the bar drunk. Shit was ridiculous. That case would of definitely got thrown out if they did decide to charge him. One cop even stayed in the parking lot until we left just to make sure it was me that was getting in the driver seat. And even when I did pull out he got behind me n followed us halfway back home! Just waiting to see if I was going to fuck up someway so he could pull me over.
Cops hold grudges. They should be sued for that.
Or the coo was making sure you get close to your home so he can stop following
My father was a cop and I was one once .. if a cop wants to pull you over . They can just follow you for a mile or 2 and find something you didn't do exactly by the book of driver ed
I am so glad you shared your story and I have so so so so so many of my own stories and I shared a couple of them above this posting of yours but it is truly crazy that the majority of Americans have absolutely no clue how 99.9 per cent of all men and that includes women who are acting as law enforcement are entitled son-of-a-b**** has and with qualified immunity the 99% don't give a goddamn about a man they just wish to make money and they make money every time they take someone to jail

The drunk guy seemed incredibly reasonable and complaint with lawful orders, plus he seemed like he was having a hell of a time as well. The cop did an outstanding job and kept his cool where i've seen many lose it for much less. the owner that wasn't the mayor seemed pretty reasonable as well, but the mayor on the other hand was fuming because the cop requested the footage and had a completely unreasonable response with such calm and collected officers.
The mayor wasn’t the one yelling…
The mayor was the one in the hoodie
Bwaaa hahahaha
The best police conduct I've seen and the worst civilian conduct in the same video, wow
There has to be a back story. Too much hostility for this to be the first incident.
The officer was probably fishing in the area and parking by the gas station
The guy in the cap said that he told that cop not to come to one business already.
Owner said the cops wait across the street for his customers damaging his business. They go elsewhere for fuel so as not to be underneath these fishers noses.
@@Mike-hu8yz There’s got to be more than that.

@@mirrorsngdI mean if they were doing that why couldn’t he have observed him get into his car with his keys and then stop him prior to driving? That at least proves intent?
I managed 5 franchise dealerships for 15 years on a state route. Police would routinely "run traffic" in front of our ford store. I finally got tired of it and told them politely to "stop." And now I get pulled over everywhere I go. Police, sheriffs can all go to hell. As a business operator they need to understand the impact they have on sitting on private! I say again Private! Property.

I thought there was a law for buying liquor. You cant sell to an intoxicated customer
This is one of the most fun videos I've seen posted by the Audit team! Ha! I am surprised how nice and calm the police were in this one, too.

Everyone was white... Iis
@@ka3097 you're right. Part of the racist systematic institutions that existed since slavery. House vs field mentality. Unfortunate but true.
The Mayor owned the store, that’s why they acted nice.
This is not an audit team this guy steals videos and makes conflicting comments
Coming from a small town myself, I understand how the police can plant themselves at specific hot spots upsetting the community. Our police got heat for placing a speed trap on the highway that runs though the town and setting on it while the local Dairy Queen was being actively robbed. this was not the first time this sort of thing happened either. I think The Mayor and others may have a history with the Police this video did not cover.
At my hometown there’s a corner people like to whip around, sometimes they’ll park an unused cruiser there to give people a scare. But it’s such a small town near a tourist spot they’re mostly there in case a tourist steals something.
Big difference in "camping out" in front of a business. But police and communities use statistical data to direct patrols for proactive enforcement and shorter response times. You can't complain about visible policing then complain when you have a problem and don't like the lack of a quick response.
@@donh6416 "police and communities use statistical data" ... Podunkville PD is not operating under six sigma. I'm not saying they aren't using any factual observations of incident frequency, but it isn't big data, just common sense. Sometimes. And police departments large and small -- especially small -- do all sorts of arbitrary things out of spite, just to show some uncooperative members of the community "who's the boss".
Fining speeders produces revenue. Saving the DQ doesn’t.
Kind of what I just commented before reading this comment.
It feels vaguely dangerous that the mayor of a town is this cavalier about drunk drivers in his town. The outburst from the other guy seems unreasonable.
He didn't keep the cops from doing their job, they got him. What they are upset about is the violation of rights. The officers can get a LAWFUL SUUBPEONA instead of demanding a seizure take place. Mayor was well within his rights. The one responsible for being drunk and driving is the drunk driver.
why were they all protecting a drunk driver who could have easily killed innocent people? And why was the guy in the baseball cap so angry and telling the cop he was done with his crap? That guy and the mayor are mental. However I dont blame people for hating cops and not wanting to help them.. so many of them are bad apples they bring it on themselves.

You should have given the drunk driver a B+ cos he knew not to lie about being the owner of the car but was wise enough to deny drinking or consent to a breathalyser.
And he's probably still driving around drunk with families on the road
yeah I don't support him driving drunk, but he handled that well. he also was very compliant, and one of the most polite drunk people I haveever seen in a police encounter video. he had enough self-control to not make things worse.
@Rycto Hernadez what's worse a drunk driver, or a zealous cop who lied
@@ryctohernadez9135 But the mayor didn't care about that... only about his money making business.
@@svenjorgensenn8418 I’d be angry if he wasnt that zealous about such a clearly impaired driver. I’m so sick of these winks and nods. This guy was very clearly a danger to others on the road and was very clearly not safe to drive.
Imagine being a mayor and letting drunk drivers loose in the city you manage.
I didn’t even think about it like that. He’s more of a business man than a mayor
He didn't let any drunk driver loose. He let a person who was previously driving and on foot go home. The guy didn't wreck, didn't hurt a soul. He made sure he didn't get back behind the wheel and showed him mercy and grace. Not every drunk driver is a murderer or even a threat. Case in point, I go snowboarding every year, I can drink way past the "legal limit" and fly down a mountain at 60+mph, precisely land on rails, etc. So driving a car is a simple task. I get why the laws are in place , but they are abused by police and enforced incorrectly. I would estimate I'm a better driver even while intoxicated than over 50% of sober drivers. Because I actually pay attention, respect the dangers associated with driving and actually took the time to learn how to drive. We just hand so many people driver's license with barely any knowledge, then they don't pay attention, they don't understand the danger of what happens in a car crash, they drive selfishly, play on their phones, etc. Everyone definitely has a point of where they can't drive after drinking but it's definitely not where the law claims, atleast for me. With all that said I don't drink and drive not because I can't, but because I don't want to go to jail and truthfully don't really even drink anymore, but this will always upset me just like that stupid seatbelt law........got to go ride my Sport Bike now with no seat belt , doors or roof.

This is the most respectful demeanor I’ve seen a cop maintain and I haven’t seen a lot but this one is for the win.
It's important to point out that when police want to get information from citizens it is always "come on help out about the police, be a nice guy. " But whenever we want to get information from the police we're treated like shit. Police body cams suddenly go missing or the data is corrupted whenever they do something illegal.
There a re a ton, I mean a whole ton of videos showing bad behaviors from PO. Go spit your venom on them and let this one alone, can you?
This PO right here did a hell of a good job. I'd have lost my usually good temper in front of this agressive and yelling owner. DUI ain't no joke, these persons kill people, each day of the year. And this guy was ok with it, as long as he's the one selling the booze to them? Disgusting to say the least.
Finally someone who doesn't give cop A+.
This cop stalks citizens and the owners see that and do something to protect their property and others.

Right
The beautiful thing is the drunk guy and the cop actually remained pretty friendly to each other, even if they had incompatible goals. I love their little exchange in the end: "Jeeze, what was that all about", "Ah, it's whatever man"
(i.e., drunk guy doesn't want a fine, and cop doesn't want DUIs)
A warrant would result in a CCTV error. That's what happens when we demand footage from the police. Whoops!
i very rarely side with officers in these cases but good god i don’t think there’s a single thing that officer did wrong. like what a strange interaction
He didn't do anything wrong, although he did lie or maybe he was misinformed and thought the clerk had called. But they weren't going to give him footage because as a liquor store that would have been the death knell of their business. I can see their side of it as well.
@@msdarby515 he was just confused who called
@@msdarby515 how would that be the death knell of their business? Anymore then if that guy drove off drunk, and killed somebody. Who would want their business connected to that?
He didn't wait until he was driving on a public road
The cop stole the man's wallet, and you don't think the cop did anything wrong???
“As the mayor, I want you to watch traffic, but not across from my store.” Perfect sense.
He basically wants him to stay away from his business so he'll get customers. People wanna stay away if they see the police
Police use their presence as intimidation tactics.
And as an officer you can politely fuck off because you dont own the business across the street. Have a good day.
I think it's important for police to establish a good rapport with the public and especially with the business community. As mayor, the business owner should have contacted the Sheriff and had a conversation about the officer consistently parking across from the store. They could have worked together to resolve the issue rather than allowing it to become adversarial. This is where police get it wrong. They should work with the community, not against them.
@@falconquest2068 However, according to the conversation we can see from the body cam, the mayor had asked the officer to watch the traffic, and wherever he set up was presumably the patch of road meant by the mayor, as the 'trouble spot'. The mayor basically threw the cop under the bus by falsely claiming in front of his business partner that he didn't mean to set up there. If the mayor really didn't want the cop to set up there, he could have clarified his request _to the cop._
Excellent police work! Calm, respectful, did his due diligence to make sure the driver did in fact drive, and did a great job remaining professional even when the owner started screaming at him. We need more cops like this man!
Awesome officer. Calm, logical, affectively deescalated the situation. Well done.
