The bigger issue here is if anyone has seen the full video, is how much time they let him stall, moving around and bullshitting. I wonder what his level was truly at before they let him sober up a little
@@RiversJ Yea, I thought it was legit...... then again, one of my friends went down 19yr for DUI Manslaughter so, I can relate to what the deputy said.
Yeah, and especially when he started saying "let's make a deal" and stuff like that. The other cop should have let him keep talking and get him on bribery too.
It is far far worse than this. In most cases people would have gotten a permanent suspension of their license until they take actions to clear their DUI off their record. Probably would have been beaten while being arrested by multiple officers. If he was black potentially killed. He got none of those so another case of extreme favoritism.
He assumed he'd get off because he's gotten off before. He was very confident. My appreciation and gratitude go to the arresting officer, he was responsible and extremely patient.
The way he smirked after flashing his police star... The way his eyes smiled when he was handing over his driver's license... The way he sighed like a caricature when he was asked to step out of the vehicle... The way the admirable officer didn't even budge when he found out the dude was a cop... ☺️
He felt 100% entitled to drive that way. You can tell by the way he talked, never took any blame himself, just kept blaming the officer for “doing this to him.”
Pre-body cameras he would have had a much more likely chance of getting away with it. With the bodycam rolling they knew it would come back on them if they let him off easy
Yeah, they said it wasnt the first time, he had 2 previous incidents. Most cops get away with DUIs because other cops let them off + the law is already too lenient on drunk drivers. This is def not the first time he has been drinking and driving... you dont get THAT hammered and suddenly decide to drive drunk for the first time. For reference, being at 0.3 blood alcohol level, most people would be blacking out, throwing up & could completely lose consciousness. 0.4% or 0.5% and above, youll have blood poisoning & could die. This guy was driving at 0.28!! The fact he didnt go to prison for at least a year and lose his job in the police force entirely, is very disappointing. He obviously has a drinking problem and needs rehab and therapy, I hope he got the help, alcoholism and addiction in general is always sad to see, its terrible to see someone throw their life away like that but its not an excuse and there needs to be some accountability. Do these people even care about their community? FFS. He couldve killed someone!
“I won’t lose my career for you” his motivation isn’t very good. And he’s not the only one to say that, and some did it without the “I won’t lose my job” (self serving) nonsense. Watch more body cam footage and you’ll eventually find them.
@@elvickRULES Bro who the hell cares about the motivation? I'm sure the only motivation you would have to actually pay a ticket from a traffic would be to not have to go to court/jail.
He said he got multiple calls on the vehicle and it matched the plates, after he pulled that same car over while being on camera letting him go probably would had fucked him over in the long run. but who knows normal cops cover for each other even when it comes to murder, all the same I would had been more impressed if “we’re not above the law” would of been the first thing that came out of his mouth
@@kalebshurtz463 he admitted that it pained him thats why he kept saying why are you doing this to a fellow cop? its ok to unerstand that deputy morrison didnt enjoy doing it but he knew it was the right thing to do
It is, there's an AtA video on a Sherriff getting a hefty sentence for a couple of stacked charges, including one on "corruption" abusing his position in Office, expecting it and his own office staff to protect him from City police.
That shouldn't give faith in the system, especially considering that cop implied he had gotten away many times. It should give faith that the arresting officer is a good person and that it's possible for things to be better. We all knew what you meant but I just wanted to be real for a second. I love your positivity though, we need more of that.
As much as the Cop did right this time, make it a Lt. From his own department, or a friend, I bet he sticks to the Blue Line. He even said himself, multiple people had called 911 with his Registration, and that's why he can't let it slide. That leads me to believe that if he pulled him over without the 911 calls, he may have let him go. Especially if he didn't have his bodycam on.
Let's just hope it becomes a "thing,"------- especially after seeing footage of that officer slumped passed out in his cruiser. Yeah yeah, I know, he was force fed alcohol against his will.
@@MissionaryInMexico no, he wasn't. He was following his procedure because he knew it was all on camera, while reminding the drunk that if he refuses the DataMaster, they'll need to get a warrant. I guarantee that warrant takes HOURS to get a judges signature, and by then the drunk POS has slept it off in the station.
@@MissionaryInMexico no he wasn't, a normal person would never have gotten that many chance. How many times did that cop day his hands were tied. He didn't make the decision bc it was the right one he made it bc he was fucked into doing the right thing. They are all bad cops
@Jean Toronto Raptors You're basing that little shortlist off of things that officers tend to get away with. Unless this officer has a history of these tactics, you can't really say it would have occured different. He did admit to not charging him with resisting an officer, but I think the whole issue of professional courtesy puts the bar low enough to put this individual officer above it
@@Maryyeung12894 Did you even watch the video? He was fired as a police officer but kept on by the department as an errand boy basically. He didn't even have to look elsewhere for another job.
@@johndoe-xs4ph Not by drunk driving and shitting down the throat of justice, risking other lives and behaving like a general slob when caught. Don't work a job if you're not able enough for it. I'd wager that your comment says more about your lack of faith in your own ability to act like a responsible adult. That's scary, I hope you're not an officer but wouldn't be surprised.
As someone who grew up near there, I'm real impressed with the arresting officer. That's very much a rural, "good ol' boys" area, so big props for not giving in to the drunk driving officer.
Well, it took some balls that's for sure, especially if what you guys say is true. My utmost respect to those police, I don't know if I would have had the balls to do the same, but, it seems the busting cop had other officers supporting him. and all along the way, so much respect to the whole team. (I wish I could say this is the norm, but most cops still let eachother off the hook in these situations) And it's fucked up.
The look on his face when the responding officer asks him to “step out” says it all….as a police officer he simply couldn’t comprehend the fact that he was going to be held accountable for flagrantly breaking the law. He expected to flash his badge and give a wink and a nod and it would all be swept under the rug like he has done for other officers most likely.
Yeah I mean I think any drunk person is gonna try to get out of it tho, sad that the fucked up shit first responders have to see gets drowned out with alcohol because our country doesn’t have very good mental health support
@@BenDover-pd8hg I agree. Human nature to try to get out of it. I don't really fault him for that. I fault him for getting into a vehicle while drunk. No excuse for that.
Despite what some comments say, this clown DID get preferential treatment: no super drunk charge, no resisting arrest charge, still has his POST certification and his pension. Sounds like a great deal the average citizen will never get.
Average Joe don't push it, they talk let it keep on happening. Public officials. Enough people come together look at Texas Chief... No I think people are not really that upset. Just more of hey this is legit job, get caught no real punishment. You get to work still continue to build up pension & overtime. You know, you only need to pass officer drug test to start... After well who da duck cares don't let go out public.
@@Bisonrulz16 I agree the arresting officer isn’t rotten, he’s definitely a good cop and didn’t let the of duty officer go. But he still gave him much more respect than he would have if it were a civilian. If I were pulled over while intoxicated and had open containers in my vehicle, admitted I was drinking while driving,then refused MULTIPLE times to exit the vehicle, I would have been removed by force 100%
Well, if it gives you any more perspective, he wasn't talking to the Deputy. He was talking to the camera. And in the full video, he says it straight out. "Brian, this is on camera, what do you want me to do"?! This cop is no hero. He gave him DOZENS of chances where he would've simply beaten anybody else.
"You are under arrest" "No." What gets me is, as a cop himself, what do you think his response would be if the roles were reverse? What is going through his mind?
Just goes to show that this off duty officer beleaves he is above the law all because he wears a badge,I applaud the arresting officer for upholding the law,I feel a little bit released to know that there are officers out there that actually knows the laws...kudos to him.
Yup - I suspect that this isn't an isolated bad decision. He's just a bad cop. The arresting officer was very professional and I feel for him and cops generally don't like cops that arrest other cops.
Cops like using the phrase "there is nothing a good cop hates more than a bad cop." This video proves the lie. If the phrase was true, the allegedly good cop would have enjoyed the arrest. He would have used the phrase as justification.
@@matthewbeasley7765 I believe it wasn't indicative of supporting a bad cop as much as it was the concern of the arresting officer that he'll be known as someone that 'targets' fellow cops. Not a good place to be. As the arresting officer said, the drunk deputy put the arresting officer in a bad spot and he's not happy about it.
Exact same thing I was thinking.They think they are invincible.When they're off duty they are just citizens.Good to see him get a dose of his own medicine.
This cop and his partner deserves so much fucking praise for this, for actually doing his job. I'm so sick of police thinking their badge is just a get out of jail free card.
Cops don’t deserve praise for doing their job. You wouldn’t praise a parent for not abusing their children, it should just be something they are expected to do
The only issue is they shouldnt be praised for doing their job. No one is patting me on the back for getting my job done...The problem is that police are so bad at doing their job we see something that just should be standard practice and people think "wow what a great cop"
no they fucking dont, you have no idea how they'd behave if the suspect was not a member of law enforcement. Shows that they are capable of having conversations and understanding....just not with us
@@fennellyj1 its a big risk for a cop to arrest another cop. A lot of departments will make your life hell if you try it, so yes, it does deserve praise.
@@MrBluman999 Lol... that literally only shows even more that cops are scumbags. You made no point. Again your paid to do a job... do the fucking job... this isnt praise worthy.
I love how the drunk cop is like, "Well I'm not losing my job over YOU!" Yeah. It's the other guy's fault you're making poor choices for yourself and the public there guy. Kudos to the officers who actually possess some integrity
Not just "expect" special treatment, they often "get" it too. For example, how many mugshots of arrested cops have you seen published by police departments?
“Be a good guy” You mean like, protecting the public from a dangerous drunk driver? The worst part of this, is any civilian would be physically dragged out right away. Not chatted to this long.
@@spicytee133 What’s it to you? How many videos do you have to watch of officers being rough with people for next to nothing to get that they’re not your friends? Don’t have to assume the worse when the evidence is right in front of your eyes. Seems like you comment a lot to defend the bacon. Get a life dude. Keep with that cognitive dissonance, don’t like my opinion? Move along.
@@indent566 I'd say SpicyTee is the one that took it deep with that leaping assumption of another person's experiences. Not understanding the reality of American police is just icing on the cake.
@@ObservationofLimits What else was he supposed to do? He already told the guy about 20 times to get out the fucking car. He’d be there for hours if he didn’t pull out the taser
Bad cop good cop is an interrogation technique where one cop plays a calm, kind and understanding cop while the other one plays forceful and aggressive cop. It is not the literal meaning of being a good and a bad cop
As a CDL driver we can’t even be at .004 blood/alcohol level or else we get a DUI and lose our job. I really hope this also applies to LEOs as well. Fortunately I don’t drink unless it’s during a special occasion like a friend or family members birthday and I definitely don’t drive while intoxicated. Uber is much cheaper than possibly endangering someone or losing it all lol
For real, and we can’t refuse any sobriety tests. All those rights are waived once you get your class A. I don’t even have mouthwash in my truck if it has alcohol in it.
Multiple times "any other person would get resisting charges" So why isn't that added on? Only got demoted at work and not straight up fired after trying to leverage his badge to get out of it. Still seems like an imbalance of punishment versus a regular person.
And knowing he most likely had a firearm with him, the drunk cop should have been tazered immediately after becoming resistant. I'm sure a "citizen" would have been in the same situation.
Of course it is, pigs protect pigs. They keep him around even after that corrupt behavior caught on camera because they're ALL corrupt like that, it's just normal behavior for them, nothing to worry about.
Yeah the whole concept of professional courtesy needs to be taken out back and left in a shallow ditch. Someone who knows the law well enough to enforce it needs to be held accountable to every letter
It’s an amount of consideration I can live with. We’re not a classless society, and I’ve been treated like a punk kid or a respectable adult when interaction was initiated by police, depending on whether I was driving my old autocross racer or my newer grocery getter. If a cop is interacting with another cop, it’s reasonable to assume less danger and more positive intent than stopping a beater with no plates, isn’t it? Also, that lieutenant looks like Gomer Pyle.
@@georgemartin5980 Not really. They should be held to a higher standard. That is unless most driving laws really are only a revenue stream. Goes to show we have too many driving laws and that enforcement is selective and not about safety.
He should have knew better and I'm pretty sure when he was on duty he made plenty of DUI arrest for the same thing he did I am glad that officer who pulled him over held him accountable letting him know not law enforcement officer are above the law. And if he was truly worried about his career he should have thought about that before getting behind the wheel
This proves nothing. "I want to let you continually endanger the public, but my hands are tied because the public is aware of the situation", is not the mindset of a good cop. Its just another self serving cop
Think about how many times cops have been given a pass before bodycams and other cameras were common. It’s sickening to think about. No man is above the law
@@Mortal209 You are a clown. The original comment said "no man is above the law", which is what I was referring to. Yet you, in your asinine interpretation, somehow conceived I was implying he had been a cop.
I absolutely love how thorough the research into the case law is done in these videos, as well as the follow-up information on what happened to the persons involved. This content is extremely high quality. Great job, and thanks.
The whole concept of not wanting to apply the law to a 'fellow law officer' stinks to high heaven and is at the very heart of what is wrong with police in America. If anything, police should be double punished for breaking the law.
That's not what the cop said now is it? He said he doesn't want to arrest a officer... that doesn't mean anything at all. How about if a cop pulled over his wife and said "I don't want to arrest you for a DUI but I have to" does that "stink to high heaven" too?
Agree 100%!!! Americans are delusional when it comes to the police. My people in the Black community have been saying this since the inception of policing. It will not change until EVERYONE in our country sees things like this video.
@@randybobandy9828 and what if that DRUNK cop (or his wife) hits a kid - ever heard of MADD, ever lost a loved one to a stupid idiot that decided to drive drunk instead of using several other methods (Uber, friend, taxi, etc.). That drunk cop already had multiple reports of being a road hazard, the cop watched him swerve onto the shoulder repeatedly, I suppose you wouldn't be convinced until someone is killed first?
@@randybobandy9828 TO be honest, even thinking about it- yes it does. Maybe only low-heaven but it does. For an officer, even thinking about giving preferential treatment based on the individual, even if resisted (Most likely due to the repercussions the officer may end up facing, I would add) is poor form, and then vocalizing it is just poor and unprofessional in the same sort of way.
It becomes a little more complicated when you are dealing with people within your ranks. As a young Airman I had to arrest people triple my rank while on duty, and it can get dicey.
@@freddykabuffke461 a citizen wouldn't complain that much and say "just let me go because I'm a cop" every 10 seconds, If you were a cop and you pulled your friend over you'd probably wanna let it slide,they're humans, I hate some cops but some cops are just truly good people
Yep, and he has likely done the same for other cops. I still believe that if multiple 911 calls about his driving had not been made….he likely would have been let go.
Just like commercial drives (truck drivers) get double fines and points if breaking driving laws like drinking and driving, here where i live the blood alcohol level is .04.
Any cop who gets stopped for DUI. Especially when he's guilty of reckless driving like this moron. Plus Abuse of Authority. Should never be given a plea deal. They should have their license immediately be revoked permanently. Also they should receive double the punishment that anyone else would get. Plus they should be fired and have their Certification stripped. With no ability of reinstatement or appeal. Because by having a wanton reckless disregard for the life and safety of others. He's an absolute danger to everyone around him. He's a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode.
NO HE DONT DESERVE . HE WOULD HAVE TAZER YOU IF YOU WAS NOT A COP . IF SOME ONE LIKE THAT EARNED YOUR RESPECT . THEN THAT SHOWS WHAT A PLONKER YOU ARE .
*I disagree, although he didn’t let him go and did arrest him, if it was a regular citizen he wouldn’t have been so patient as he was with his fellow officer!! If that was me or you, we would’ve been thrown out our car, in handcuffs and in the back of the police way quicker than his fellow officer*
This is why I love this channel, not only does it produce content that exposes flaws of law enforcement and public servants, but in the same video shows good policing and values of a good man. Well done 👏
Law enforcement is above _some_ laws, or is at least held to answer different laws, which makes former Lt. Filipiak's conduct even _worse._ Like AtA pointed it out, the man betrayed the oath(s) he took upon earning his position in the Sherriff's office. A poetically inclined person would be right to call Filipiak an Oathbreaker.
I have to say that hearing an officer say, " we are not above the law." is shocking and is awesome to hear. Asking the officer for a favor!?!!! So glad that the officer refused him that favor. Just because you are a cop does not keep you exempt from being treated as a non officer when you break the law Brian. The law is and is always both ways and to many times it's not. I give this officer a thumbs up.
"I'm not losing my career over you" "And I'm not losing my carrer over YOU" Is this guy kidding? Is he actually trying to blame the Cop for the fact that he himself can't obey the law?
This reminds me of a film where a Congress candidate slept with an intern and did some shady stuff. Once confronted he argued more or less that him breaking the law wasn't a big deal compared to his track record and things he still needed to do in his campaign. I think -Pierce Brosnan- edit G. Clooney, thanks @Eric, starred in this film so you can probably it if you google.
I have to wonder how much blow back this officer got for arresting his fellow officer. There is a long history of cops being denied advancement, given the worst jobs/shifts, and generally shunned by their fellow officers for turning in other bad cops. I hope none of that happened to this officer. If anything, cops should be held to a higher standard than the general public.
For this, I doubt it did. The thing I think a lot of people are missing is that he fucked up too publicly and too badly. When you do that, in corrupt organizations like the cops they pretty much accept that it's your own fault and they can't protect you. Did you notice how he mentioned that there were multiple calls about it and how they were tying his hands...
You just KNOW that this guy has been pulled over drunk before and pulled this "do me a favor" crap before AND THAT IT HAS WORKED BEFORE. That's why he's so shocked here.
@@lntentiveGaming until the day comes that the "good cops" are calling out ALL of the "bad cops", they are all guilty by association. You know they see things and do nothing about it. Just being a good cop yourself isnt enough if you turn a blind eye to corruption within the police force. This officer is truly one in a million. Most police officers would NOT arrest a fellow officer. This is an undisputed fact. But keep indiscriminately lickin them blue boots buddy.
@@Hear-MeoutTwo2 Thank you, I was thinking the same thing. 98% of cases never go to trial because it's much easier to do a plea agreement to a lesser charge. Him being a cop really made no difference in that part of it. I've had one incident in my life where I did the same. I did something stupid in poor judgement many years back, got probation with a conditional discharge, and did the things required of me. Once it was done, the charges were dismissed, leaving me without a criminal record.
That's because if you have a good lawyer, you can argue that alcoholism is a medical disease - which many departments are bound by labor union contracts that state any "medical" issue/ADA issue is a mitigating factor, or even non punishable if it can be "corrected". Of course, this varies from state to state and even in the same state all departments have different labor contracts. The problem is labor unions.
Simple... there's no cost/risk in asking. It's not like there's reputational risk in asking. People won't say, "This guy was SUPER drunk. But forget that, did you know that he asked to be let go?! That's the horrible part."
I'm NOT excusing the drunk cop but yeah, it's an addiction & the addicted is out of touch with reality. These "functional" alcoholics believe they're doing ok. I have a PhD in drunks, this guy drinks before & during work every day. That should scare the crap out of people! Bunches just like him at every job, on every road, every day. Absolutely maddening!
He could be competent is his job. But, incompetent in his personal life. There is nothing wrong with drinking, there is nothing wrong with driving. You just can't mix the two. The same policy applies when operating machinery, or performing your duties at work.
High School Diploma job, to ruin/arrest and murder people with qualified immunity, I wonder how such a low bar and high lack of accountability attracts such types (sarcasm lol)
He actually looked like he was shuffling through the billfold while doing this almost as if he was gonna be like “here’s a few bucks, please leave me alone while I sleep it off on the side of the road,” just in case the badge trick didn’t work! Either way, he won’t be pulling that trick again!
I feel like people who get DUI’s always get let off easy. I was hit by a drunk driver who drove off immediately and then told his insurance that I side swiped him (he rear ended me while I was stopped at a red light). Insurance fraud, hit and run, DUI…. No jail time.
He got put on permanent administrative duties for lesser pay. So he lost his job technically but the station helped him by making sure he didn’t have to go out and find a regular job. He got off easy but most DUI cases do.
He was given a civil office function, which seems very reasonable to me. I don't understand why people think loosing your job should always come in addition to legal penalties given by courts. People don't become better people if society turns their back on them. The man had a drinking problem. How would anyone - him or society at large - get any better from him being unemployed?
Not wanting to "arrest a fellow cop" is one of the biggest issues we have in law enforcement. Giving a cop a pat on the back for arresting a law breaker who happens to be a cop is like praising a man for raising his children. That's what you're supposed to do. The fact that we're shocked tell us everything we need to know about about the theory of "good" cops.
Also the biggest issue is prosecutors have sole discretion in deciding whether to charge someone, like a cop. Prosecutors obviously want to maintain a good relation with cops, so they let a lot of things slide
Yeah, and clearly the only reason he is getting arrested, is because a bunch of other people know about it, not just the two cops. This is a window in to the mind of a corrupt cop, masquerading as a deed done by a good cop. Just look how reluctant he is about it. He would not be reluctant about arresting you or me.
Yes, they are supposed to do this. It is still deserving of praise. Holding those in your field, let alone those you work with directly, accountable is a tough thing to do for most people. Many people fear reprisal. This is the definition of what a good cop should be doing and something we should be recognizing.
Sounds like this was going on for a long time and by the other cops letting him go, they were enabling behavior that would eventually get someone killed. It's obvious that this was a habit and not just a one off bad decision on a bad day.
@@toolegittoquit_001 because they are legally supposed to know the laws they enforce we as regular citizens are granted more lee way cause we don’t know the law word for word they should face harsher punishment for stuff like this in my opinion obviously that’s only my opinion tho🤷🏻♂️
@@toolegittoquit_001 Cause regular citizen can plead ignorance which an officer clearly cannot.

With power comes greater responsibility
Agreed. Unlike average Joe Citizen, he's likely seen UP CLOSE the horrific damage that a drunk driver can do. Hell, seeing stuff like that may have even played a role in his drinking.
I took a police board in my city and one of the scenarios was this exact situation. I arrested the cop in the scenario, and the sergeant asked me "do you think we just go around arresting everyone for DUIs?", to which I responded, "Yes, they chose to drink and drive, not me; it's the law". I was 100% right, and she was shady af.
@@Playingwithproxies it was in her tone. I can read people pretty well. She also postured on her question which made me think she was getting defensive.
If you look at this from a historical perspective, the "Lieutenant " has been aware of DUI within the department for many years. His supervisor has knowledge that the LT is a drunk, but probably, and most likely, warned him to keep it under control. The supervisor should been screened for his counseling of the LT. Edit: Akin to premeditated vehicular manslaughter and public endangerment.

Saw this one a while back, and the officer who told the drunk Driving cop that "We are not above the law." Is a good cop dealing with a bad cop. Just hope he remains being a good cop.
MOST of these guys are decent individuals. Watching TH-cam videos makes people start to believe there's loads of bad cops out there. But we all need to recognize that there's over half a million cops out there, and each of them records multiple interactions with the public every day. That's millions of recorded interactions each and every week, and hundreds of millions every year. And how many of those interactions ever end up here? A tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of them.
@@Mr.Ekshin There are loads of bad cops out there because the nature of the job attracts people who like that the position gives them the ability to abuse power over others
This cop is very tolerant. I’m proud of this cop. I know how he feels, I’d be very hard to be in this position. The drunk should be doubly charged just for being a cop and breaking a law, but also because asking the other cop to be a party of his crime!
Technically, since there are three, this is an attempt to extend conspiracy. So CRIMINALLY this cop conspired to create a conspiracy. Citizens catch that charge. Remember?
It always infuriated me when I had to deal w other officers like this when they said “why are YOU ruining my career?” “Why are YOU doing this to me?” None of them ever took responsibility for their own actions. Always blaming someone else like this guy. It’s hard enough arresting regular folks but even harder to arrest a fellow officer. It puts your reputation on the line. Some officers will agree w you but then others won’t trust you anymore or will stop hanging around you, stop assisting you on calls etc. There is no way I would ever have risked my career for other people like this LT asked of this deputy. One thing was for sure; back then all my fellow officers knew exactly where I stood in my beliefs. Whether they liked me or not for arresting officers they knew I didn’t give any breaks to other officers because I felt we weren’t above the law and had to set an example. This deputy did the right thing. Not because he was on camera, or because someone would have told on him etc but because he knew it was the right thing and because he knew he had to protect the public from this guy.
@@choadsmoker5451 i was on at night 12a-8a from 2a-8a I was alone in the city. My Sgt got off at 2. I was on a traffic stop at 1a and it was occupied 4 x. They were drunk and were threatening to beat my ass. I called him for backup and he didn’t answer so dispatch had to send a deputy to help me and he was 35 minutes away whereas my Sgt was on a few minutes away sitting in the police dept. As the deputy arrived I was fighting the drunk driver trying to get him in cuffs. One of the passengers got out and was approaching us and the deputy made him get back in the car and helped me. It’s crazy but it happens
There's "held accountable" and then there's 'held accountable", #1 would be for you and me, while #2 is for fellow officers and other officials. You and me would have been handcuffed and sat in the cruiser within the first minute. We also would have ended up very quickly into a prison cell, while this seriously dangerous drunk got hardly any punishment, he still has a job with the police, his retirement hasn't been in danger, so I still think that they protected this of duty criminal way too much.
Exactly like a real cop, preferential treatment. Saying they aren't above the law while giving him plenty of time to resist. Sure would be nice to see them actually uphold the law consistently instead of this garbage.
@@YourMom-ro1ig Yeah, when they don't enforce the laws preferentially. Why not treat every person like this? Police are more prone to violence than the average person, yet the average person has to be treated like a maniac on normal stops.
@Fundamentally Unorthodox well when people villainize the police. That's why it should be noted. Because black kids are growing up right now and because of media. They're going to hate the police.
@Fundamentally Unorthodox that's why it makes sense to promote good police work. Because when they only highlight the bad. It makes all cops be made to look bad and gives people a false narrative. Another good context would be with the black community. If they only highlighted the bad things black people do. That's why it's important to highlight the good. Should it get noted when they do something positive or should they not get any praise because that is bare minimum. Because if they only highlight the bad then the black community would be livid. They'd say highlight the good. If you dont have that same stance for the black community then you are a hippocrate.
@Fundamentally Unorthodox because that is basically what you're saying. And yes. I say the same to people on the right. They say the same sht you say. Only difference being they dont think it should be highlighted what color someone is when they achieve something while wanting to promote good police work. Because the two do go hand and hand and it shows the hypocrisy is on both sides. I mean if you say the same about black people then by all means. I respect you for being consistent with your judgments. But if you don't say the same then you're a hippocrate and you have zero integrity.
"Do you think I want to arrest a fellow cop?". If he is breaking the law you BETTER arrest him or the people will see that you yourself are arrested. Cops should be held to higher standards.
Which is what he's doing, but it doesn't mean he *wants* to. Which is what he said. Not much different than if I were a cop and pulled over my sibling for drink driving.... I wouldn't *want* to arrest them, but I would.
@@emoliver80 cops should be held to higher standards is all that I'm saying. I wouldn't want to arrest my kid either. But because I'm a cop I must, I have to arrest him if he has broken the law. I must set the example. If I can't do that then stop being a cop and resign. Enough with this blue line BS. I applaud this cop for doing his job.
What are you on about? The officer who stopped the drunk did the right thing. What’s the point in squawkin about how that’s what he better do, or he should get held accountable by the people blah blah blah.,, The dude did the right thing. Arrested his dumb drunk ass. Wtf more do you want?
@@emoliver80 "any other person is gunna be getting an RnO charge" hes openly admitting to giving him special treatment. This cop only made the arrest because he HAD to...
@@emoliver80 There is no question, based on the things being said in the video, that this would NOT have been an arrest, were it not for all the calls in to dispatch about his driving. It's all those other witnesses that are in effect, the real heroes here, not a corrupt cop who is too smart to get caught being corrupt. He clearly wants to be corrupt; he says it over and over, and even states he is only doing this to save his career. If his career was not on the line, no arrest is made.
Is that what you saw? Really? Wow. I saw a cop reluctantly arrest another one, because if he didn't, all those calls in to dispatch would get him caught. He even says he is only doing it for that reason. Circumstances are the hero here, not this pig.
@@Tijuanabill Give the man a chance. He also said, “we are not above the law” implying that his own potential consequences aren’t the only reason for not letting him go. It’s a bad habit to assume the worst of people; you should always be looking to give people the benefit of the doubt.
@@chriskastner1938 I'm not assuming the worst of him. I'm assuming the standard. I think it's you who is doing something strange, when you assume this cop is different than the rest, based on no evidence. He clearly states he is ONLY doing this, because it would impact his career. He is admitting on tape, that if his career were not on the line, he would look the other way. This is not an honest cop who did some heroic thing to buck the corrupt system. He knew going in half the county knew this cop was driving around drunk, and he had no choice. You bootlickers would be there making excuses, if a cop was stabbing someone in the face on film. Is there anything a cop can do wrong, in your mind? Ever?
@@Tijuanabill nah you’re the one making an assumption pal, you’re assuming this cop is guilty of being a bad cop with absolutely no indication and then cry when other people think you’re stupid assertion is stupid
He should have been terminated after the first DUI and the fact that he is still in any way employed with the police department is abhorrent and shows the police are more concerned about taking care of their own than keeping a serial drunk driver off the road and protecting their citizens, who by the way, PAY THEIR SALARIES!
We do pay their salaries, but they also pay their own salaries which is something none of us do. They pay taxes just like us, so that whole “we pay their salaries” thing doesn’t actually work.
Because they rarely address the real problem. The higher ups who enable it. If we’re lucky there’s a sacrificial lamb, but they rarely touch the others often involved in abuse of power or negligence. There’s a judge who pulled his card to try to get out of tickets and he’s being investigated, but is the Lt. Who told the cop to let him go without tickets going to be? No. Is the cop who let him drive away without him having a valid license? No. Nothing will change until we as the public demand true responsibility for these things and every individual involved fired and unable to work in any position of power again.
The 'we pay your salaries' argument is so overused, as if it gives anyone any real power. Everyone pays everyone's salaries, that's how living in a society works. The customers of my business pay for my services which in turn go to my salary, and yet that doesn't make me their slave. They pay for a particular service, a mutual contract. It doesn't grant them the power to act like an ass to me. Most businesses and institutions are going to protect their workers before their customers. There's a better relationship there and frankly employees are more valuable. Both are needed, but workers take much more money, time and effort to replace. As such they tend to get the benefit of the doubt. The exception being where severe or continued misconduct is taking place, at which point the employee is terminated. When severe or continuous misconduct occurs, officers should be fired. Unfortunately that doesn't happen as much as it should. But people are very quick to throw around this 'we pay you' argument like the police are somehow in the taxpayer's debt. They're not, it's a mutual service. They are paid to provide a service.
What is this stupidity about we pay we don't pay. We do pay their salaries, is not the same as a private company where they have specific set of customers. Their salaries come directly from our taxes, they work for us, and if they screw up and have to compensate a family because of an officer's negligence, it is US who also pay the compensation for the victim. So, we should be able to choose if we want an official with bad behaviour fired. Is funny that some people defend this, but don't we choose politicians and the president? Yes, because they work for us, and we pay their salaries, and if we don't want them there anymore we vote someone else.
“We’re not above the law”. Ladies and gentlemen we found a good one. Huge respect to the arresting officer. I know that had to be hard to arrest a fellow officer.
Side note: Several years ago, the company that "certified" and "calibrated" toxicology machines across Michigan were caught purposely not doing these paid services......don't know how many people had their arrest invalidated....
Why? Because the facts of the case are so strong, and there are so many witnesses, that he is forced to do this? You really think if it weren't for all those other calls in to dispatch, that this plays out the same way? You must be so high right now. OMG that must be good weed.
@@Tijuanabill You have no proof it wouldn't. You're assuming. The actions of the arresting officer are what SHOULD be expected and assuming something else with no evidence to the contrary would be negligent.
@@mroverdose14 I have his own statement. He states, on camera, that he is only doing this to save his job. He said what he said. You can deny it all you want, but you won't convince anyone that doesn't have your same bootlicker bias.
@@mroverdose14 He didn't even decline to let him go because it is not right, he only gave the excuse that he's worried about his career--because multiple people already witnessed it. He's not concerned with doing the right thing, he's just worried about his own ass. Of course he would have let him go if it was just a one-on-one traffic stop, his own reasoning implies that he would have, and he has probably done it before.
How this cop retained employment is beyond me, especially after his attempt to use the 'fellow cop' card. This is a prime example why police must never be allowed to investigate themselves. Far too often, they find no wrong doing by the cop, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary right under their noses!
I get your point but it's never quite as simple as that. I'm not defending him, but as a lieutenant he probably had several years in his department. If he had an otherwise good work record, he was probably offered alcohol treatment and a non sworn position to get him over the number of required years for retirement. Most civil service systems have certain "protections" in place. It is true that a police officer is held to a higher standard when it comes to public trust. But, just because he's a cop, he's not subject to being summarily terminated for something where the common person wouldn't lose their job. His new job is most likely a significant demotion in both stature and benefits but a DUI isn't really a "lose everything" offense. Does a janitor at the local tire factory lose everything for a DUI? Probably not.
Thats a bunch of bullshit, that guy should've been fired. I'm cop friendly, and think the public are way too judgemental to all police for the actions of a few, and the fact that this does happen does not help this situation.
@@jeffjoles742 If said janitor's employer heard about it? Definitely. There's no loyalty in late stage capitalism, and absolutely no other reason to voluntarily associate with peons that are liabilities.
Sorry, but that's just not true. Most employers are not going to go after an employee for a DUI if they are, by all other standards, a good employee. The only reason for a company to fire someone for a DUI is because there were some serious aggravating factors. A DUI all by itself typically doesn't have nexus with the person's job. However, if the guy had use of a company vehicle, got into a serious accident, the vehicle had the company logo, and/or the local news picked it up, now he might be jammed up.
@@jeffjoles742 There's no 'going after' in this scenario. If an employer learns of an indiscretion as mild as a mean tweet from an employee and there's no compelling reason to ignore it, such as an employment contract that it would cost them to terminate, that employee will get yeeted faster than last year's employee protections. Hell, one of the biggest CYA recommendations for years has been to safeguard your social media from being accessed by employers so that they can't find reason to terminate. Largely because a small but growing number of companies have been actively trolling employee profiles for actionable content.
“Why are you doing this to me?” Wow that’s maturity right there. Life sure did change when I stopped saying things like that after putting myself into bad situations. I’m glad to see the arresting officer did the right thing. That probably did not feel good for the officers in that moment. We cannot have multiple tiers of justice for people who feel special.
I’m only three and a half minutes into the video and he’s behavior is pissing me off. He absolutely isn’t acting with the maturity one would expect from an adult, let alone a police lieutenant. He’s acting more like a belligerent, obstinate teenager. The whole “do me a favor. Oh my god” while huffing and leaning his head back was ridiculous. Hell he started the stop off with entitlement. Notice what he did when the officer asks him for his license etc. He discreetly but very obviously shows the officer his badge and then just gives the officer an expectant look.
FANTASTIC WORK!!! Deputy Morrison handled this PERFECTLY. That’s how you handle this. As soon as I heard Deputy Morrison say “We are not above the Law” I went nuts. THATS how you change Cop culture. THATS how you be a good Officer. Give that man a raise and a promotion! This is the type of officer we need more of in leadership roles. I’d give him an S ranking (above a A+). Fantastic work. And also fantastic work of Audit the Audit. Thank you for being unbiased and staying with the facts. You guys are doing phenomenal work!
arresting officer gets A++++ for busting his own without thinking twice, even ignoring his bribe attempt, AND didnt fall for his BS, especially at the end "why are YOU doing this to a LE"
Even though the cop didn't technically get away with it, they still gave him special treatment. If I or anyone that wasn't a cop refused to step out of the vehicle we would have been face first in the road with our hands cuffed behind our back in .5 seconds.
To be fair, the perp is fairly bulky and the arresting officer doesn't seem to be the world's most physically intimidating man. He seemed like he was physically struggling to make him comply, hence the threat of the taser. I'm sure an unknown perp would be treated with more hostility but I can understand why a cop would perhaps not view the perp as a potential immediate threat to his life upon learning that they are also a cop and so have a more casual attitude.
@@Person01234 There was more than one cop though. Idc if you are Bruce Lee or the Rock, you arent winning a fight against two fully armed officers bum rushing you. They would not have given us all those chances and that's just fact.
I can maybe kinda see at least trying to give him some grace because he's not being beligerent or physically aggressive. TBH I'd probably try and at least be nice about it in that situation too. Sure, he's trying to get away with shit, but at least there wasn't any yelling or stuff like that
@@JulioStaysGold Depends on the cop and suspect, I've seen plenty give soo many chances before even threatening to tase or get physical. If the suspect is not threatening or physically resisting (shoving, punching, etc...) usually more chances are given.
The first conversation between these men was a silent 1 when the drunk tried to use the badge as his I.D. and the officer said ok, I need to see your I.D.
"Why are you doing this to a fellow officer?" Because you broke the law, man. This is what happens when you break the law. I would bet anything this cop has arrested law breakers himself.
@@squirrel8185 Mine is saying the same thing, but with better grammar. 😜😜 Sorry, I know you just left off the ing, and the "your". I do the same thing when I try typing too fast
This cop had no idea what the purpose of police officers is. You aren’t supposed to arrest people for breaking the law and then break the law yourself. This moron thinks he gets to do whatever he wants. He is wrong and should be fired.
@@MaskOfCinder If you are a cop you won't get fired even if you straight up murder someone. All the cop has to say is, "I thought he was reaching for a weapon." Why would you expect to be arrested for DUI? The only way cops have ever been charged for killing someone is if there is video evidence that the shooting was unjustified, or if the other cops say it was unjustified. And it takes all the other cops to make that fly. If just one cop steps up, then *HE'S* the bad guy. Makes it harder for that one cop to step up. This guy had been let go before, multiple times, I guarantee that. This cop needs to be commended for trying to get this guy off the street. Can you imagine if he was drunk on duty? And he was not just a bit over the limit. He was "super drunk". 3 times the limit.
Hey I'm not sure if you have seen my previous comments but I'm glad you're putting all relevant statues and laws in the description now. I'm not even an American citizen but I believe you are doing good for the people there by providing a resource for all those facing similar charges. Thank you
@@elpacho....9254 Depends, in all the Spanish speaking world we get taught that America is an entire continent (There are several formats regarding this) but the USA and other countries use a different format that divides it into two continents, North America and South America, so they don't have the same concept of ''America'', for them it doesn't exist as a continent.
@@ACSCx the American continent was named after Italian cartographer Amerigo Vespucci in 1507; he began mapping the continent around modern day Brazil. By the way, I’m a United States citizen myself. The country and everything official is referred to as the United States; from the countries constitution, to every branch of the military, to the currency. There no such thing as the American army, or the American constitution, and the currency is the u.s dollar; not to be mistaken for the Canadian dollar.
"If I let you go I'm going to loose my career" This is the thought that should go through cops heads every time they pull over a cop, DA, lawyer, or government employee / official. Yet we have seen video after video where police and other members of government are treated differently than your average citizen.
I personally know of a cop who lost their career because they “backed up” and officer from another agency who performed sobriety tests on a District Attorney (obviously intoxicated) and let her go. The officer I know was fired because she let this other agency release a drunk driver because of their status.
I know people in LE that have flashed their badge and they have gotten off on DUI's. The entire system feels they are above the law, so I love seeing this video and this officer.
I see police violate traffic laws often. They know no one will give them a ticket; and they think the traffic rules do not apply to them. I also have been pulled over many times, for no reason except for working night shifts, and cops bored and hoping they can find something. In Canada
Still being conscious and driving (erratically to be sure) with a 0.28 BAC is evidence that this ex-Lieutenant has built up a tolerance to alcohol and is very likely an alcoholic of long standing. His roadside behavior is very much in keeping with the mental state of addiction. I have zero sympathy with the consequences of his actions. I do hope he sought help and has successfully achieved permanent sobriety.
I get your angry but this man wasn't using his police powers to commit the crime he committed it as a civilian and in his drunkenness was convinced he should be let go cause he's a cop. Cops should be treated the same way normal people are but they get preference. That's the unjust thing to me. Its different when they use their police powers illegally.
@@macattack5863 nope. public servant, especially police, need to get punished harder to make sure they understand they are supposed to be an example to the community they serve and to make sure they do not become corrupt, with higher power harder punishment need to be serve

The bigger issue here is if anyone has seen the full video, is how much time they let him stall, moving around and bullshitting. I wonder what his level was truly at before they let him sober up a little
I would say going from a lieutenant to a simple civilian position is much more humiliating and a kick to his ego than being fired outright.

@@mr.grumpy3683 probably beaten and tased too.
@@mr.grumpy3683 I suspect most people wouldn't have gotten such a long conversation period either. they'd have pulled that taser WAY sooner.
Seriously. The guy is legally "super drunk" and has a stern slap on the wrist about it, essentially.
It is far far worse than this. In most cases people would have gotten a permanent suspension of their license until they take actions to clear their DUI off their record. Probably would have been beaten while being arrested by multiple officers. If he was black potentially killed. He got none of those so another case of extreme favoritism.
He assumed he'd get off because he's gotten off before. He was very confident. My appreciation and gratitude go to the arresting officer, he was responsible and extremely patient.
The way he smirked after flashing his police star... The way his eyes smiled when he was handing over his driver's license... The way he sighed like a caricature when he was asked to step out of the vehicle...
The way the admirable officer didn't even budge when he found out the dude was a cop... ☺️
Maybe maybe not probably a lot more likely before the cams. Clearly dude was wasted so not a lot of thinking going on
He felt 100% entitled to drive that way. You can tell by the way he talked, never took any blame himself, just kept blaming the officer for “doing this to him.”
Pre-body cameras he would have had a much more likely chance of getting away with it. With the bodycam rolling they knew it would come back on them if they let him off easy
Yeah, they said it wasnt the first time, he had 2 previous incidents. Most cops get away with DUIs because other cops let them off + the law is already too lenient on drunk drivers. This is def not the first time he has been drinking and driving... you dont get THAT hammered and suddenly decide to drive drunk for the first time.
For reference, being at 0.3 blood alcohol level, most people would be blacking out, throwing up & could completely lose consciousness. 0.4% or 0.5% and above, youll have blood poisoning & could die. This guy was driving at 0.28!!
The fact he didnt go to prison for at least a year and lose his job in the police force entirely, is very disappointing. He obviously has a drinking problem and needs rehab and therapy, I hope he got the help, alcoholism and addiction in general is always sad to see, its terrible to see someone throw their life away like that but its not an excuse and there needs to be some accountability. Do these people even care about their community? FFS. He couldve killed someone!
"we are not above the law"
I never thought I would hear an officer say that... What an amazing officer, wow
I never thought I'd here an *american* specifically *U.S.* officer say that.
“I won’t lose my career for you” his motivation isn’t very good. And he’s not the only one to say that, and some did it without the “I won’t lose my job” (self serving) nonsense. Watch more body cam footage and you’ll eventually find them.
Not an amazing officer, that is literally the mindset of at least 95% of officers. Stop letting a few bad cops spoil your perception of them.

As much as the Cop did right this time, make it a Lt. From his own department, or a friend, I bet he sticks to the Blue Line.
He even said himself, multiple people had called 911 with his Registration, and that's why he can't let it slide. That leads me to believe that if he pulled him over without the 911 calls, he may have let him go. Especially if he didn't have his bodycam on.

Well, if it gives you any more perspective, he wasn't talking to the Deputy. He was talking to the camera. And in the full video, he says it straight out. "Brian, this is on camera, what do you want me to do"?!
This cop is no hero. He gave him DOZENS of chances where he would've simply beaten anybody else.

Cops don't have a mind, it's merely bendable bacon.
Just goes to show that this off duty officer beleaves he is above the law all because he wears a badge,I applaud the arresting officer for upholding the law,I feel a little bit released to know that there are officers out there that actually knows the laws...kudos to him.
Yup - I suspect that this isn't an isolated bad decision. He's just a bad cop. The arresting officer was very professional and I feel for him and cops generally don't like cops that arrest other cops.
Cops like using the phrase "there is nothing a good cop hates more than a bad cop."
This video proves the lie. If the phrase was true, the allegedly good cop would have enjoyed the arrest. He would have used the phrase as justification.
@@matthewbeasley7765 I believe it wasn't indicative of supporting a bad cop as much as it was the concern of the arresting officer that he'll be known as someone that 'targets' fellow cops. Not a good place to be. As the arresting officer said, the drunk deputy put the arresting officer in a bad spot and he's not happy about it.
If that wars a regular citizen I would of been tased..thrown to the ground and had 6 cops on his back
Exact same thing I was thinking.They think they are invincible.When they're off duty they are just citizens.Good to see him get a dose of his own medicine.
This cop and his partner deserves so much fucking praise for this, for actually doing his job. I'm so sick of police thinking their badge is just a get out of jail free card.
Cops don’t deserve praise for doing their job. You wouldn’t praise a parent for not abusing their children, it should just be something they are expected to do
The only issue is they shouldnt be praised for doing their job. No one is patting me on the back for getting my job done...The problem is that police are so bad at doing their job we see something that just should be standard practice and people think "wow what a great cop"

They demand total compliance and yet expect special treatment when they're the ones who got caught
^^^ THIS. Using the phrase "double standard" just doesn't quite cover it as this is a higher form of hypocrisy.
The reason this "officer" thought he could get away with this is because all cops are actually Sovereign Citizens.
Not just "expect" special treatment, they often "get" it too. For example, how many mugshots of arrested cops have you seen published by police departments?

For real, and we can’t refuse any sobriety tests. All those rights are waived once you get your class A. I don’t even have mouthwash in my truck if it has alcohol in it.
Multiple times "any other person would get resisting charges" So why isn't that added on? Only got demoted at work and not straight up fired after trying to leverage his badge to get out of it. Still seems like an imbalance of punishment versus a regular person.
Ain't that the gospel truth. funny how these comments think this was a 'fair' interaction lol
And knowing he most likely had a firearm with him, the drunk cop should have been tazered immediately after becoming resistant. I'm sure a "citizen" would have been in the same situation.
Of course it is, pigs protect pigs. They keep him around even after that corrupt behavior caught on camera because they're ALL corrupt like that, it's just normal behavior for them, nothing to worry about.
Most folks lose their jobs over a DUI, especially if they use a company vehicle.
Yeah the whole concept of professional courtesy needs to be taken out back and left in a shallow ditch.
Someone who knows the law well enough to enforce it needs to be held accountable to every letter
It is repeatedly clear that special consideration is granted to cops
before, during and after this type of interaction.
Absolutely no surprise.
It’s an amount of consideration I can live with. We’re not a classless society, and I’ve been treated like a punk kid or a respectable adult when interaction was initiated by police, depending on whether I was driving my old autocross racer or my newer grocery getter. If a cop is interacting with another cop, it’s reasonable to assume less danger and more positive intent than stopping a beater with no plates, isn’t it? Also, that lieutenant looks like Gomer Pyle.

I agree!!!
The whole concept of not wanting to apply the law to a 'fellow law officer' stinks to high heaven and is at the very heart of what is wrong with police in America. If anything, police should be double punished for breaking the law.
That's not what the cop said now is it? He said he doesn't want to arrest a officer... that doesn't mean anything at all. How about if a cop pulled over his wife and said "I don't want to arrest you for a DUI but I have to" does that "stink to high heaven" too?

I hope none of that happened to this officer. If anything, cops should be held to a higher standard than the general public.
For this, I doubt it did. The thing I think a lot of people are missing is that he fucked up too publicly and too badly. When you do that, in corrupt organizations like the cops they pretty much accept that it's your own fault and they can't protect you. Did you notice how he mentioned that there were multiple calls about it and how they were tying his hands...

I did something stupid in poor judgement many years back, got probation with a conditional discharge, and did the things required of me. Once it was done, the charges were dismissed, leaving me without a criminal record.
That's because if you have a good lawyer, you can argue that alcoholism is a medical disease - which many departments are bound by labor union contracts that state any "medical" issue/ADA issue is a mitigating factor, or even non punishable if it can be "corrected". Of course, this varies from state to state and even in the same state all departments have different labor contracts. The problem is labor unions.

Not wanting to "arrest a fellow cop" is one of the biggest issues we have in law enforcement. Giving a cop a pat on the back for arresting a law breaker who happens to be a cop is like praising a man for raising his children. That's what you're supposed to do. The fact that we're shocked tell us everything we need to know about about the theory of "good" cops.
Also the biggest issue is prosecutors have sole discretion in deciding whether to charge someone, like a cop. Prosecutors obviously want to maintain a good relation with cops, so they let a lot of things slide
Yeah, and clearly the only reason he is getting arrested, is because a bunch of other people know about it, not just the two cops. This is a window in to the mind of a corrupt cop, masquerading as a deed done by a good cop. Just look how reluctant he is about it. He would not be reluctant about arresting you or me.
Cops don't want to arrest a fellow cop, but the good ones will do so if the circumstances warrant it
Yes, they are supposed to do this. It is still deserving of praise. Holding those in your field, let alone those you work with directly, accountable is a tough thing to do for most people. Many people fear reprisal. This is the definition of what a good cop should be doing and something we should be recognizing.
I feed my kids! I ain’t ever been to jail!
Sounds like this was going on for a long time and by the other cops letting him go, they were enabling behavior that would eventually get someone killed. It's obvious that this was a habit and not just a one off bad decision on a bad day.

I took a police board in my city and one of the scenarios was this exact situation.

If you look at this from a historical perspective, the "Lieutenant " has been aware of DUI within the department for many years.

This cop is very tolerant. I’m proud of this cop. I know how he feels, I’d be very hard to be in this position. The drunk should be doubly charged just for being a cop and breaking a law, but also because asking the other cop to be a party of his crime!
Technically, since there are three, this is an attempt to extend conspiracy. So CRIMINALLY this cop conspired to create a conspiracy. Citizens catch that charge. Remember?

None of them ever took responsibility for their own actions. Always blaming someone else like this guy.
It’s hard enough arresting regular folks but even harder to arrest a fellow officer.
It puts your reputation on the line. Some officers will agree w you but then others won’t trust you anymore or will stop hanging around you, stop assisting you on calls etc.
There is no way I would ever have risked my career for other people like this LT asked of this deputy.
One thing was for sure; back then all my fellow officers knew exactly where I stood in my beliefs. Whether they liked me or not for arresting officers they knew I didn’t give any breaks to other officers because I felt we weren’t above the law and had to set an example.

As the deputy arrived I was fighting the drunk driver trying to get him in cuffs. One of the passengers got out and was approaching us and the deputy made him get back in the car and helped me.

There's "held accountable" and then there's 'held accountable", #1 would be for you and me, while #2 is for fellow officers and other officials. You and me would have been handcuffed and sat in the cruiser within the first minute.
We also would have ended up very quickly into a prison cell, while this seriously dangerous drunk got hardly any punishment, he still has a job with the police, his retirement hasn't been in danger, so I still think that they protected this of duty criminal way too much.

@@YourMom-ro1ig Yeah, when they don't enforce the laws preferentially. Why not treat every person like this? Police are more prone to violence than the average person, yet the average person has to be treated like a maniac on normal stops.

“We’re not above the law.” - The most humble of words ever spoken by a cop. Give that man a standing ovation. We need more of him.
how is this humble stupid
@Fundamentally Unorthodox well when people villainize the police. That's why it should be noted. Because black kids are growing up right now and because of media. They're going to hate the police.
@Fundamentally Unorthodox that's why it makes sense to promote good police work. Because when they only highlight the bad. It makes all cops be made to look bad and gives people a false narrative.
Another good context would be with the black community. If they only highlighted the bad things black people do. That's why it's important to highlight the good. Should it get noted when they do something positive or should they not get any praise because that is bare minimum. Because if they only highlight the bad then the black community would be livid. They'd say highlight the good. If you dont have that same stance for the black community then you are a hippocrate.
@Fundamentally Unorthodox because that is basically what you're saying. And yes. I say the same to people on the right. They say the same sht you say. Only difference being they dont think it should be highlighted what color someone is when they achieve something while wanting to promote good police work. Because the two do go hand and hand and it shows the hypocrisy is on both sides.
I mean if you say the same about black people then by all means. I respect you for being consistent with your judgments. But if you don't say the same then you're a hippocrate and you have zero integrity.
@@kevinb1096 Agreed.
"We are not above the law" that is a thing many officers on this channel don't realize, I applaud this officer for finally saying it
"Do you think I want to arrest a fellow cop?". If he is breaking the law you BETTER arrest him or the people will see that you yourself are arrested. Cops should be held to higher standards.
Which is what he's doing, but it doesn't mean he *wants* to. Which is what he said. Not much different than if I were a cop and pulled over my sibling for drink driving.... I wouldn't *want* to arrest them, but I would.
@@emoliver80 cops should be held to higher standards is all that I'm saying. I wouldn't want to arrest my kid either. But because I'm a cop I must, I have to arrest him if he has broken the law.

I applaud this cop for doing his job.
What are you on about? The officer who stopped the drunk did the right thing. What’s the point in squawkin about how that’s what he better do, or he should get held accountable by the people blah blah blah.,, The dude did the right thing. Arrested his dumb drunk ass. Wtf more do you want?
@@emoliver80 "any other person is gunna be getting an RnO charge" hes openly admitting to giving him special treatment. This cop only made the arrest because he HAD to...
@@emoliver80 There is no question, based on the things being said in the video, that this would NOT have been an arrest, were it not for all the calls in to dispatch about his driving. It's all those other witnesses that are in effect, the real heroes here, not a corrupt cop who is too smart to get caught being corrupt. He clearly wants to be corrupt; he says it over and over, and even states he is only doing this to save his career. If his career was not on the line, no arrest is made.
Good to see an officer act honorably when faced with this sort of untenable situation.
Thank you for highlighting a police officer who acts with integrity.
Hearing a cop say “we are not above the law” is so comforting❤
It warms my heart to see good law enforcement officers eliminating "bad apples".
Is that what you saw? Really? Wow. I saw a cop reluctantly arrest another one, because if he didn't, all those calls in to dispatch would get him caught. He even says he is only doing it for that reason. Circumstances are the hero here, not this pig.

@@Tijuanabill Give the man a chance. He also said, “we are not above the law” implying that his own potential consequences aren’t the only reason for not letting him go. It’s a bad habit to assume the worst of people; you should always be looking to give people the benefit of the doubt.
@@chriskastner1938 I'm not assuming the worst of him. I'm assuming the standard. I think it's you who is doing something strange, when you assume this cop is different than the rest, based on no evidence. He clearly states he is ONLY doing this, because it would impact his career. He is admitting on tape, that if his career were not on the line, he would look the other way. This is not an honest cop who did some heroic thing to buck the corrupt system. He knew going in half the county knew this cop was driving around drunk, and he had no choice. You bootlickers would be there making excuses, if a cop was stabbing someone in the face on film. Is there anything a cop can do wrong, in your mind? Ever?
@@Tijuanabill nah you’re the one making an assumption pal, you’re assuming this cop is guilty of being a bad cop with absolutely no indication and then cry when other people think you’re stupid assertion is stupid
He should have been terminated after the first DUI and the fact that he is still in any way employed with the police department is abhorrent and shows the police are more concerned about taking care of their own than keeping a serial drunk driver off the road and protecting their citizens, who by the way, PAY THEIR SALARIES!
We do pay their salaries, but they also pay their own salaries which is something none of us do. They pay taxes just like us, so that whole “we pay their salaries” thing doesn’t actually work.
Because they rarely address the real problem. The higher ups who enable it. If we’re lucky there’s a sacrificial lamb, but they rarely touch the others often involved in abuse of power or negligence. There’s a judge who pulled his card to try to get out of tickets and he’s being investigated, but is the Lt. Who told the cop to let him go without tickets going to be? No. Is the cop who let him drive away without him having a valid license? No.
Nothing will change until we as the public demand true responsibility for these things and every individual involved fired and unable to work in any position of power again.
Best Job in the world
The 'we pay your salaries' argument is so overused, as if it gives anyone any real power. Everyone pays everyone's salaries, that's how living in a society works. The customers of my business pay for my services which in turn go to my salary, and yet that doesn't make me their slave. They pay for a particular service, a mutual contract. It doesn't grant them the power to act like an ass to me.
Most businesses and institutions are going to protect their workers before their customers. There's a better relationship there and frankly employees are more valuable. Both are needed, but workers take much more money, time and effort to replace. As such they tend to get the benefit of the doubt. The exception being where severe or continued misconduct is taking place, at which point the employee is terminated.
When severe or continuous misconduct occurs, officers should be fired. Unfortunately that doesn't happen as much as it should. But people are very quick to throw around this 'we pay you' argument like the police are somehow in the taxpayer's debt. They're not, it's a mutual service. They are paid to provide a service.
What is this stupidity about we pay we don't pay. We do pay their salaries, is not the same as a private company where they have specific set of customers. Their salaries come directly from our taxes, they work for us, and if they screw up and have to compensate a family because of an officer's negligence, it is US who also pay the compensation for the victim. So, we should be able to choose if we want an official with bad behaviour fired. Is funny that some people defend this, but don't we choose politicians and the president? Yes, because they work for us, and we pay their salaries, and if we don't want them there anymore we vote someone else.
This makes me happy to watch. I'm glad there's at least one officer out there that knows he is not above the law and will arrest another officer.
There were hundreds of them. Now not so much.
“We’re not above the law”. Ladies and gentlemen we found a good one. Huge respect to the arresting officer. I know that had to be hard to arrest a fellow officer.
Lol
The bar is in hell
You can hear the pain in the arresting officer's voice when he tried to plead with the drunk. "Why are YOU doing this to a fellow cop?"
Side note: Several years ago, the company that "certified" and "calibrated" toxicology machines across Michigan were caught purposely not doing these paid services......don't know how many people had their arrest invalidated....
This is why DUI lawyers usually advise to never take "implied consent" tests. The cops will lie on the stand and get you convicted with a bad machine.
Florida had had similar mishaps with radar speed guns, leading to a floating grace zone for speeding.
Great officer. Gives me hope for others. He needs a leadership position within his department.
Why? Because the facts of the case are so strong, and there are so many witnesses, that he is forced to do this? You really think if it weren't for all those other calls in to dispatch, that this plays out the same way? You must be so high right now. OMG that must be good weed.
still corrupt good favorable treatment. corruption in blue
@@Tijuanabill You have no proof it wouldn't. You're assuming. The actions of the arresting officer are what SHOULD be expected and assuming something else with no evidence to the contrary would be negligent.
@@mroverdose14 I have his own statement. He states, on camera, that he is only doing this to save his job. He said what he said. You can deny it all you want, but you won't convince anyone that doesn't have your same bootlicker bias.
@@mroverdose14 He didn't even decline to let him go because it is not right, he only gave the excuse that he's worried about his career--because multiple people already witnessed it. He's not concerned with doing the right thing, he's just worried about his own ass. Of course he would have let him go if it was just a one-on-one traffic stop, his own reasoning implies that he would have, and he has probably done it before.
“You’re not above the law”
THANK YOU!! YOU LEGEND!!
The sad part about this is that this happens more than we can imagine
How this cop retained employment is beyond me, especially after his attempt to use the 'fellow cop' card. This is a prime example why police must never be allowed to investigate themselves. Far too often, they find no wrong doing by the cop, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary right under their noses!
I get your point but it's never quite as simple as that. I'm not defending him, but as a lieutenant he probably had several years in his department. If he had an otherwise good work record, he was probably offered alcohol treatment and a non sworn position to get him over the number of required years for retirement. Most civil service systems have certain "protections" in place. It is true that a police officer is held to a higher standard when it comes to public trust. But, just because he's a cop, he's not subject to being summarily terminated for something where the common person wouldn't lose their job. His new job is most likely a significant demotion in both stature and benefits but a DUI isn't really a "lose everything" offense. Does a janitor at the local tire factory lose everything for a DUI? Probably not.
Thats a bunch of bullshit, that guy should've been fired. I'm cop friendly, and think the public are way too judgemental to all police for the actions of a few, and the fact that this does happen does not help this situation.
@@jeffjoles742 If said janitor's employer heard about it? Definitely.
There's no loyalty in late stage capitalism, and absolutely no other reason to voluntarily associate with peons that are liabilities.
Sorry, but that's just not true. Most employers are not going to go after an employee for a DUI if they are, by all other standards, a good employee. The only reason for a company to fire someone for a DUI is because there were some serious aggravating factors. A DUI all by itself typically doesn't have nexus with the person's job. However, if the guy had use of a company vehicle, got into a serious accident, the vehicle had the company logo, and/or the local news picked it up, now he might be jammed up.
@@jeffjoles742 There's no 'going after' in this scenario. If an employer learns of an indiscretion as mild as a mean tweet from an employee and there's no compelling reason to ignore it, such as an employment contract that it would cost them to terminate, that employee will get yeeted faster than last year's employee protections.
Hell, one of the biggest CYA recommendations for years has been to safeguard your social media from being accessed by employers so that they can't find reason to terminate. Largely because a small but growing number of companies have been actively trolling employee profiles for actionable content.
“Why are you doing this to me?” Wow that’s maturity right there. Life sure did change when I stopped saying things like that after putting myself into bad situations. I’m glad to see the arresting officer did the right thing. That probably did not feel good for the officers in that moment. We cannot have multiple tiers of justice for people who feel special.
I’m only three and a half minutes into the video and he’s behavior is pissing me off.
He absolutely isn’t acting with the maturity one would expect from an adult, let alone a police lieutenant.
He’s acting more like a belligerent, obstinate teenager. The whole “do me a favor. Oh my god” while huffing and leaning his head back was ridiculous.
Hell he started the stop off with entitlement. Notice what he did when the officer asks him for his license etc. He discreetly but very obviously shows the officer his badge and then just gives the officer an expectant look.
FANTASTIC WORK!!! Deputy Morrison handled this PERFECTLY.
That’s how you handle this. As soon as I heard Deputy Morrison say “We are not above the Law” I went nuts. THATS how you change Cop culture. THATS how you be a good Officer. Give that man a raise and a promotion! This is the type of officer we need more of in leadership roles.
I’d give him an S ranking (above a A+). Fantastic work. And also fantastic work of Audit the Audit. Thank you for being unbiased and staying with the facts. You guys are doing phenomenal work!
"let me go, I'm gonna go sleep in the bushes" man that made me laugh
arresting officer gets A++++ for busting his own without thinking twice, even ignoring his bribe attempt, AND didnt fall for his BS, especially at the end "why are YOU doing this to a LE"
I love how he pulls his taser out and his parter backs off like I ain’t getting hit with that
Bad cop: *”Be a good guy”*
Good cop: *”I am being a good guy”*
Even though the cop didn't technically get away with it, they still gave him special treatment. If I or anyone that wasn't a cop refused to step out of the vehicle we would have been face first in the road with our hands cuffed behind our back in .5 seconds.
To be fair, the perp is fairly bulky and the arresting officer doesn't seem to be the world's most physically intimidating man. He seemed like he was physically struggling to make him comply, hence the threat of the taser. I'm sure an unknown perp would be treated with more hostility but I can understand why a cop would perhaps not view the perp as a potential immediate threat to his life upon learning that they are also a cop and so have a more casual attitude.
@@Person01234 There was more than one cop though. Idc if you are Bruce Lee or the Rock, you arent winning a fight against two fully armed officers bum rushing you. They would not have given us all those chances and that's just fact.
I can maybe kinda see at least trying to give him some grace because he's not being beligerent or physically aggressive. TBH I'd probably try and at least be nice about it in that situation too. Sure, he's trying to get away with shit, but at least there wasn't any yelling or stuff like that
@@JulioStaysGold Depends on the cop and suspect, I've seen plenty give soo many chances before even threatening to tase or get physical. If the suspect is not threatening or physically resisting (shoving, punching, etc...) usually more chances are given.

"Why are you doing this to a fellow officer?"
Because you broke the law, man. This is what happens when you break the law. I would bet anything this cop has arrested law breakers himself.

This cop had no idea what the purpose of police officers is. You aren’t supposed to arrest people for breaking the law and then break the law yourself. This moron thinks he gets to do whatever he wants. He is wrong and should be fired.
@@MaskOfCinder If you are a cop you won't get fired even if you straight up murder someone. All the cop has to say is, "I thought he was reaching for a weapon."
Why would you expect to be arrested for DUI?
The only way cops have ever been charged for killing someone is if there is video evidence that the shooting was unjustified, or if the other cops say it was unjustified.
And it takes all the other cops to make that fly. If just one cop steps up, then *HE'S* the bad guy.
Makes it harder for that one cop to step up.
This guy had been let go before, multiple times, I guarantee that.
This cop needs to be commended for trying to get this guy off the street. Can you imagine if he was drunk on duty?
And he was not just a bit over the limit. He was "super drunk". 3 times the limit.
This is SO vital to the public trust. This should prevail in the main. It gets a bud cop off the road and proves a cop of integrity is not extinct.
