Arresting people shouldn't be taken as some kind of scoring system where you get more points the more arrests you make. Police officers shouldn't be looking for every excuse and loophole they can think of in order to get more arrests. They are approaching policing completely wrong.
1) Was honest with the police. 2) Decided not to drive while impaired. 3) Complied with sobriety tests. 4) Was polite and cordial the entire time. Police: "We've got ourselves a hardened criminal here, better arrest her."
Ere on the side of caution. She should have just stayed with the passenger at their house overnight. Whether it was her intent to just sit and chill, FL already determined her guilt while being in the driver's seat and intoxicated.
The cop should have advised the girls to get an Uber, waited for the car, watched the girls to get into the Uber and moved on looking for someone dangerous to the community. The female cop is shameful
The girl states that an Uber is how she got to her vehicle from the house party; so why didn't she have the Uber driver take her home? Intoxicated individuals generally don't make sound/safe decisions. It's honestly 50/50 if she would have "chance'd" it and drove home. I do believe the police had every right to arrest, although maybe a public intoxication charge or calling a friend and waiting would have been more "community oriented". I would much rather someone sober up in a drunk tank than possibly kill/hurt someone else or themselves getting home from a night of drinking.
@@th34st dont generalize the good ones with the scummy ones. there are good ones who just let you go free and stuff if it wasn't that serious. And sometimes they understand what you're going thru.
@@NicoLas-xy3ew I'd like to believe that's true, but the overwhelming evidence I've seen is to the contrary. Indeed, in this very case, the cop was clearly interested in arresting the student more than anything else. That was her Prime Objective. "Can we still get her for DUI?" she asks. Despite the familiar phrase that used to be be painted on many police cars, cops are not interested in protecting and serving; their only interest is in detaining and arresting. And that's a shame. It is not in society's interests to turn every encounter into an adversarial process. But that's what cops do, and therefore it is the reason why lawyers correctly advise everyone to invoke their 5th amendment rights and refuse to answer any questions. And in suspected DUI situations, to refuse to perform field sobriety tests, which are subjective and unreliable.
Yeah, very smart choice. Sit in the driver's seat with the break lights on and the keys in the ignition drunk AF and underage. What a brilliant young lady. I don't actually understand how in the world people aren't in favor of the cops on this one. She's underage and drunk, and literally all she has to do is put the car in reverse and start driving. This is standard DUI law pretty much everywhere. "All cops bad herp derp" without paying attention to what's going on sets our cause back, because they think we're just crying wolf during the actual bad interactions.
@@crazzluz1702mostly because we've seen abuses left and right from cops without consequences. So they have become the enemy. Was she driving? No. Fuck that cop, and fuck her word. Plus, let's see her do the roadside monkey dance. That shit is designed to get sober people to fail.
@@crazzluz1702brother, what should she have done? This is still America, she probably has little money and was just trying to be as safe as possible. You saying all she had to do is put it in reverse, is bs because she didn’t do it. Anything can happen, but what did happen was her sitting peacefully when an officer approached her for no reason
It's absolutely disgusting how they get together and conspire to ruin the life of a person who obviously did the responsible thing and stayed in place to sober up, instead of driving.
Lol this is nothing I had a cop detain me and search me 20 times because he's senile friend told him I'm a bad guy... He would stop and search me every time he saw me. I ended up moving to another city
But remember one important thing. If you are ever on a jury and a case like this , you can vote " not guilty" and reject the idea that a DUI is possible when a person is simply sitting in a car. You're not a robot and not a rubber stamp for the sometimes questionable, judicial system. There is the letter of the law, and there is the spirit of the law. I find it outrageous that anyone can be convinced of a DUI while sitting in a car. And remember, that DUI stays with you for LIFE.
Only problem with that is with DUI there is no jury, a judge makes the decision and they are in on the scam to get as much money as possible out of drivers. If you wanted to fight it you'd spend a fortune on a lawyer with no guaranty that you'd get off.
it is never protect and serve, that is not their duty as per the constitution. that is a courtesy extended to the public to maintain peace between law enforcement and citizens.
@@UkrainianPaulie Is completely and utterly irrelevant to both the video and the comment thread? Since DUI and reckless driving are two separate offences. They are not mutually exclusive.
Or she couldve drove home and crashed.. i know it seems like getting arrested is the worst outcome but sometimes you never, to be fair shes 19 and drinking while sitting in her car with ability to drive..forget the law even a parent wouldnt bw ok with that
This is a great example of someone who handles her alcohol extremely well! Good on her. Her only "offense" was respectfully agreeing to do what the officers asked her to do. Shame on the officers.
Handling alcohol well ONLY means the person has experience looking sober but actually impaired. The brain is still under the influence. So what that means is tolerance. Which means she’s had many experiences of extreme fun. That is why BAC’s are done.
When they lady cop goes to her partner and asks "can we still get 'em for DUI?" she reveals her true intention of looking for any excuse to arrest someone. She's a predator with a badge.

I once got a ticket for "running a stop sign" (rolling stop, reached 0mph at an empty intersection in broad daylight) The kicker was that he added "reckless driving in unsafe conditions" which is hilarious, because it was a perfectly clear day with absolutely no bad conditions. That part of the ticket was thrown out... but it was the definition of "what ALL can we get this guy with?" - really protecting [the city budget] and serving [tickets].
@@reprovedcandy I got a ticket for running a stop sign. I came to a complete stop but my front wheels were over the white line by a couple inches so he said I technically ran it.
Happened to me when my ex and I got into an argument, I wanted to just get away from her, we were both drinking, I sat in my car thinking and trying to get some sleep so I could sober up. Cops pulled up because she called them, they charged me with a dui, even though the key wasnt even in the ignition. They argued in court that I must have been driving as I had my keys on me, it didnt stick but what did was "intent" because I took the keys off the table, I them because I wasnt getting locked out of my own apartment. I had no intentions of driving. After a year and a half, well over 10 grand, lost my apartment, lost my car, lost jobs/contracts and a susbstantial amount of money while not being able to drive, and lost my ex wife, I got it reduced to a "careless driving". I grumbled in court about it when I took the plea, but I was tapped, I had nothing left to keep going. 4 years later things are better but it still leaves a huge impact on my life my insurance is high, some companies wont hire me, Im still trying to recover things I had before all this. I feel broken down and beaten by the system
Not really. She specifically chose not to drive anywhere. A car is a safe place to go sleep if you don't live there and have nowhere to go. This was a smart, safer, choice.
are you stupid? The original comment agrees what she was doing was safe and smart, what they are saying is that them doing something safe and smart ended up them getting in trouble - so next time they won't sober up but will drive off.... yes you really as stupid as these cops. wow @@OviWanKeno9i
@@OviWanKeno9iyes she was trying to be responsible. The op is simply stating because she was trying to be responsible and was arrested for it next time se may just decide to drive home and endanger innocent people, simply because of this experience.

Long story short this isn't a law, for a person intoxicated relaxing in their vehicle on but not going anywhere isn't a dui how I know this happened to a friend of mine few years back. Friend fell asleep with his car on and he was pulled over by cops and out of the blue the officer stated you cannot get a dui while sitting parked in a vehicle whilst its on
@@Inyourhideyhole...in that jurisdiction. I can totally understand why Florida has this law. They are a spring break destination. One of the impacts of being drunk is poor decision making, which could turn "sitting" into "driving" very quickly. The law is the law, and she has already broken several of them: underage drinking, fake ID, etc.
My mom has 2 DWIs where she wasn’t driving. I was BOTH times. Each time we went to court and I was a witness they kicked me out of the courtroom for “suspicious activity” she now has felony warrants and we aren’t going back
“Can you still get ‘em?” What an absolute scumbag. I have a daughter about her age I’d be proud of her if I watched her in this video. Good kid, took an Uber, grabbed a non alcoholic drink and stayed put while feeling the alcohol. Teach them not to speak to the police and remaining silent isn’t dishonesty.
@@j0epark1 There is no problem with drinking. And she did the smart right choice in choosing not to endanger anyone by not driving. I understand the law is the law but it's a stupid law and should be changed.
@@j0epark1Drinking is not illegal and sitting in a parked car (even when drunk) should not be illegal, too. Context matters. This basically means if you're drunk you can't be near your car. Just idiotic.
Couldn’t even finish watching this video. How sad is this? When honesty takes you no where. No one thinks about all the litigation that poor kid had to go through. Being responsible gets you nothing. I’d love to see how she ended up in court. I hope the best for her ❤️🙏
@@chrisangus1725 making the concious choice to not drive while intoxicated. Charging her for undalerage drinking is absolutly warrented, but a DUI charge for making the choice to NOT drive will probably do more harm than good.
@@finalbladecrisis given the fact that the car lights were on and it's safe to say that the keys were in the ignition. Making her in control of the vehicle while intoxicated thus is why she gets a DUI and just because someone says they took an Uber doesn't mean they actually did. Also why on earth would you take an Uber just to hop in your car and turn it on? Nothing lines up nor does it make any sense.
@@chrisangus1725so i guess she should have drove drunk and endard people rather that sit in a warm car staying safe. The cop wanted over time pure and simple.

Instead she chose to be a drity ass cop rather then sho the same respect this girl gave her. What did this girl learn? She learen to never be honset to cops agian.
@@pugpug4430 a DUI is not just for driving this is clearly stated on the law books. I don't see where you are misunderstanding or not understanding it. It is also in control of the vehicle. The keys are in the ignition and she's in control of the vehicle because she's in the driver seat. It's clear as day in black and white in the law book.
Honest? LOL. Why the hell would you have to call an Uber to take you to your car after a party? Her story is to cover up the fact that she drove to the parking lot.
She was also underage, drunk, was using a fake ID and was behind the wheel of a car. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she gets to ignore the law.
My brother was asleep in his car in the parking lot of a bar. While cops were cruising the parking lot they saw him, woke him, and after talking to him for a few minutes they arrested him for DUI. His lawyer not only got the officers reprimanded, but he also got my brother $60K for false arrest because the car was off, they never actually saw him driving the car, and they didn't offer him a field sobriety test. In our state, if the car is off, the engine is cold, you're asleep, and the car is parked on private property they cannot arrest you for DUI.
Let's take a group of young adults, teenagers, who are not causing a disturbance, and taking proactive steps to be safe and responsible, and punish them for that action. What a time to be alive.
Lesson here is 1) Uber home instead of to your car 2) Dont get caught drinking under the age (saying "dont drink under age" is not realistic) She was a smart kid, but tried to cut a corner of ubering to her car and sleeping it off instead of home to save a dollar.
Always invoke 5th, refuse all tests, ask for lawyer. Don't talk... not even to tell them your name. Don't even talk to confirm that you even exist. Your only legal requirement is to produce ID when you are being arrested or pulled over for citation... depending on the laws of your state... but no talking... Say nothing other than to ask if you are free to go or that you invoke your 5th rights or asking for a lawyer. Talking to the police cannot, and I do mean CANNOT help you. "Anything you say can and will be used against you." It makes a Lawyers job easier to fight for you if you say NOTHING!
As a former officer, this is a prime example of an Officer who targets like this because they are absolutely terrified to deal with actual dangerous criminals. I would hate to have her watch my back on duty.
You make a good point. To be completely honest, whilst I don’t condone driving while intoxicated at the illegal blood alcohol level, if she did that after she had to deal with this, I wouldn’t blame her.
Alternatively their Uber could have taken them back to one of their houses and they could have slept it off and collected the car the next day.... Oh wait, they couldn't do that cos despite being 19 they were illegal to drink and would have got reamed by their parents for drinking at a party so they went to a car park instead and technically did a mild crime. Cops were horrendous and it ended in a mess. Wrong all round.
Police officers have discretionary powers to make judgement calls. She (the cop) could've had the girl call an uber, family, or friends to pick her up & leave it at that. But no, she'd rather destroy her life with this overzealous crap. And then they wonder why so many ppl hate them
I’m the only one that doesn’t buy that there was an Uber. I would’ve been calm but upset that I’m getting arrested if I didn’t drive. They were respectful cause they were lying.
4:46 Tech here, the key typically doesnt have to be in the ignition for the brake lights to illuminate. Similiar to the horn, typically it will function will the key out of rhe ignition.
The fact that the female officer asks if they can still get her on a DUI charge tells you all you need to know about how she does her job; dirty and without compassion or common sense. Just what we need more of in our LEO’s.
@@teknizzle420 Yeah, she was totally DRIVING under the influence and definitely totally deserved that DUI (DRIVING under the influence) charge on her record. For sure. Definitely. Absolutely. Idiot
Excellent work cops. You've taught these 2 girls to just go ahead and drive then because if they had they would've been long gone by the time you showed up since you LITERALLY PROVED EITHER WAY YOURE GETTING A DUI. Unbelievable.
That's what I was thinking. I'm 40 years old and this stop tells me to may as well drive off and go home cause I'll be home and safe and not sitting in the car where I could still get arrested.
@@billbombshiggy9254 Absolute facts. you CAN be arrested for a DUI in your own driveway though, my friend has been lol. That's such BS, if you make it all the way home you should be good lol.
What was she supposed to do? Freeze to death? When you punish the best course of action, it means that next time they won't do the best thing. Next time she might drive drunk instead, hoping to get home before getting caught, or she might walk home, something incredibly dangerous for a young, impared woman to do in the middle of the night. Criminalizing safety helps no one.
I wouldn't go that far. It was a jack-ass thing to do, for sure but the cop was within legal rights to do as she did. I imagine there must be a course that would benefit her though. Like there are courses for de-escalation for cops that make matters worse, something similar but that applies to what she did. Maybe something that teaches cops to apply the laws in the spirit they were given because this young lady was clearly not an intended target for this law. The real problem, in my opinion is the law. Some sort of proof that the person had driven, or was intending to drive while under influence should also be necessary at the very least.
That's the beauty of for profit prison systems. You get to systematically confine whatever group you want (mostly poor's and minorities), there's nothing they can do about it, and you'll be applauded for "keeping the streets safe" while your inhumane incarceration's center doesn't even meet basic human living conditions.

This arrest is a great way to encourage other students to drive on the road for 20 minutes after drinking rather than staying parked while drunk for an hour or more since they get a DUI either way.
At my school they will camp out near the parking lots, and wait for students to leave or return between 1-3am.. I'm I night owl and every night like clockwork I see AT LEAST 2 traffic stop between those times.. Its like they're trying to hit a quota🙃
"Emotional damages, distress, assault and battery, unlawful arrest, unlawful detention, fourth amendment violation, fifth amendment violation. YOU WILL STAND DOWN OFFICER OR YOU WILL FACE FELONY CRIMINAL CHARGES."
Good job officer. You sure showed her. How dare she be responsible and catch an Uber ride home, and be 100% honest with said officer when caught behaving, not bothering anybody.
Under these laws you could be drinking in the comfort of your own home, forget something in your vehicle, go out to get it with no intention of operating said vehicle and still be at risk of a DUI charge if the cops happened to notice and investigate. It's ridiculous.
I know a cop who was off duty and got hit with this same situation. Outside his own apartment and went outside to his car to smoke. It was a cold night in Colorado so he had the engine running for warmth. He has been drinking inside and got a DUI.
3 times I've been threatened with DUI for NOT driving drunk. 1st. In a sleeping bag, asleep in back of SUV. 2nd. Sleeping in the bed of a pickup truck. 3rd. Walking a bicycle down the sidewalk. Each time I just kept repeating, "I've learned my lesson, I'll just drive drunk next time." If the penalty for driving is the same as not driving, might as well take your chances.

That's the new way don't you know! It's a result of them being overstaffed abd seriously I learned this statistically there has been a decrease in serious crime so they spend their time harassing and arresting innocent citizens for petty misdemeanors. Oh abd btw they only resolve 5% of serious crime investigations. Nit an impressive track record. It's become blatantly obvious too b many cops show up to a simple traffic stop
Gotta love when a cop literally admits that they are just out to "get" people. This is why answering a cop's questions NEVER helps you out, and only helps them to get you.
Yea the cops decided she was going to jail before she ever got out of the car. By agreeing to the biased tests you do nothing but hurt your attorneys chances to get you out of trouble. Never agree to anything voluntary that will incriminate you.
I was a jury foreman on a case involving the exact same circumstance in Brazos County Texas. The CSPD did an investigation in search of crime identical to this. We unanimously acquitted the accused!!!
The "can you still get em for?" Says it all. They didnt care about safety or justice they cared about using their power to inflict punishment on this lady.
Fr, the moment she met her the only thoughts goin through her head was "how do i turn this college girl into a victim". She gave this kid a perma criminal record, for nothing.
Bro, it's already worse. Cops have been camping at bars waiting for people to Uber home, then they pull the Uber over and get them for public intoxication once they get down the street. There's also some dogshit law in Oklahoma or somewhere that says "public intoxication" is intoxication within plain view of the public which includes views from public roads. So some guy was arrested for public intoxication on his own property because he was visible from the adjacent residential street grilling in his backyard and drinking beer. There's no winning. System's broken, not worth fixing it. Dismantle it and leave it for the crows.
@@Fullsendfilosophy Imagine there is a possibility of getting hit by a car when crossing the road, you're never going to cross the road?

It is there job though. The suspect literally admitted to being drunk and provided every bit of evidence of there own free will. The suspect only has themselves to blame for the outcome. Ideally they learn from the experience in more than one way for there own benefit.
@@juvygenius Even if they saw this coming and decided to wait outside of the car, perhaps sitting on the trunk and just talking for a few hours while they sobered up- The officer would have tried to cite her for public intoxication despite the fact that she wasn't in anyway being a nuissance. Should someone who has left a party that has ended feel the need to hide somewhere safe from view of police officers for fear of being arrested for having consumed alcohol earlier in the night? Yes she was a minor, but the officer was determined to make an arrest based purely on the fact that alcohol had been consumed and the persons age wouldn't have changed anything.
I have a client charged with DWI after blowing a 0.00 and having a blood test which showed neither drugs nor alcohol. She overheard a supervisor say to the arresting officer “you shouldn’t have arrested her.” This is going to be a big problem for the county.
Unreal...I was in a similar circumstance...I was at a work party at a local bar...The boss ordered some shots for us to celebrate the good year that we had...When I got back to my car I realized that I was not OK to drive, so I decided to sleep it off...It was below freezing, so I had the engine on for heat but the car was in park. I woke up to cops tapping on my window. They in all rights could have given me a DUI, but they realized that I was doing the right thing by not being on the road...Now these girls were taught the opposite lesson...it's better to try to drive drunk rather than get caught in the parking lot...
Its really sad this wasnt an opportunity to build trust with the public. This young lady did all the cooperating a cop could ask for, and they still arrested her.
I mean it's easy. The cop decided she was guilty as soon as they pulled up to her car. Can't get more clear cut than that, the officer is trained in determining who is a criminal, and that girl was a big one!
@@Watchmanadmin I dunno about "a big one" since I felt she had a valid claim that they were just sitting in the car. But I do agree the intent from the start was to arrest her. I understand the cops did nothing wrong here, but still really wish this girl was given a warning instead of a DUI charge that will have major impacts on her life. She seemed to have the type of demeanor and character that could benefit more from a close call/warning, even if it was her intent to drive home that night.
11:40 “This is my house” She could have passed out in her friends house but decided to wait in her car to get sober? Too intoxicated to make decisions it’s a good arrest
@@anonymoush5454 and that's why I made sure at the end of my comment to make it a point that she still may have had the intent to drive home, cause I agree, it was very strange her friend lived there and they didn't go inside.

It's hard to recover in life from some of these charges, and sometimes people need a second chance. If we all were judged so harshly on our mistakes, all of us would have a miserable life.
@@jonathanzimmer6831 not judging a mistake, I’d be prosecuted by god for mine lol. But they showed impairment in their decision making because nobody thinking logically would choose to sober up in their car instead of their friends house.

I’d dui them for sure because you never know if they’ll do it again and make the wrong choice to drive next time
White male 32-year Texas police officer here I totally disagree with what these officers did to this girl She was trying to do the right thing and not drive the car I think the most that they should have probably done and maybe not even this is arrest her for public intoxication but in order for that someone has to be a danger to themselves or others and I don't see that here I think they should have asked the girls to go into one girl's dormitory and sleep it off now they put this girl in a position where she has to agree to all these crazy things that the court has come up with her to do it was way too many in my opinion it's very harsh punishment for someone in the first time position hopefully it won't happen again but I think it was INXS I also blame the judge in the courts for laying this heavy burden on this young girl when I think the judge should have just thrown the whole case out in the interest of fairness because she was trying to do the right thing
Well I think the main point is to avoid being in a vehicle at all. However, under the pretense of the situation if you have no other option but to enter your car to stay warm/safe, then you are better off drunk driving home. So I think we need to be realistic about this so people take our point seriously.
Only the poor and workers have this problem , it's targeted and that's called oppression ! Who does bail and fines hurt? Not the rich. Combine that with police only solving 2% of major crime and you're just looking at people stealing from citizens . The bootlicking is shameful ...@@ObamanableSnowman
It's a shity law but it is the law. So many people think I'll sleep it of in my car then wake up and think screw this and just drive h drunk. It's easy to avoid though. You need to "loose your keys" and not sit in the driver's seat if you want to sleep in the car. Or be on private property. And if you have a learner driver driving the full licence holder has to be sober to.

Yeah. With DUI arrest on her record, she might have hard time getting certain jobs. I had a DUI 25 years ago, and it still follows me. "To serve and protect" my assets. More like "To fill the quota and ruin people's lives"
the problem is you need to give people incentive to do their jobs this applies to every type of work. When they arrest an actual criminal the bonus they earn is deserved it should just be more regulated what arrest gives what reward or a punishment like taking away from salary when these corrupted arrests are made but that will never happen.
17:19 This channel does good work, but on this one, he dropped the ball on the most important part of the video. I don't fault him for not knowing because he is not a police officer. I work in this field, and it is true that we do have discretion on traffic stops but not on felony traffic stops and DUI. If the defendant is going through a DUI investigation and is over .08, you must make the arrest. It sucks that the defendant did not know the law that you can't be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated plus, she told the officer that she had been drinking tonight, which made the officer have to take action (remember she is recording) so if the defendant was let go and did drive, got into a crash, and killed someone or herself then the department could be civilly liable and the officer could be civilly and criminally liable. So I believe the grade should be an A+. The officers did a great job. They explained everything to the defendant and treated both parties with respect. I hope this helps everyone understand a bit more. Great work all in all though ATA
@@dondon-kw5zxCould have just arrested her for underage drinking instead of a DUI… it would still result in the same thing. Like what happens to people who live in their cars do you arrest them for DUI too? (This is a genuine question I’m not trying to take a disrespectful tone or anything)

@@dhuran21 I like how you're pretending that this is some kind of binary option. What kind of fullblown alcoholic mindset do you have to have that makes you think that you're only options are either drink driving or passing out in your car?
When I used drink heavily I would sometimes sleep in my truck. I always put the truck key in a magnetic key box under the truck. I'm not entirely clear on the state of the law on that, but the one time a cop awakened me he laughed and walked away once I told him where the key was.
Thank you officers for ruining a honest 19 year old girl life after making a responsible decision of not driving. I feel a lot safer knowing you guys are keeping us safe. Nice to know our tax money goes to these resources. 🎉👏🐷
The key was in the ignition and the tail lights were on. She was underaged driving. The law is the way it is because there is no way to verify that she wasn't about to drive, so they set the line at being in the driver's seat with the keys, which she was. Now, that said, there are a couple things I would have liked to see the cops check. First, put you hand on the hood to see if it's warm. That checks to see if she has already been driving. Next, ask her if she is willing to show her Uber account info. If she and her friend had already been sitting there a while her claim that they were not planning on driving is a bit better... But here is the thing... a lot of drunk people might sit and wait until they felt safe to drive, but a lot of drunk people would still decide to drive well before they are safe to drive.
@@nacoranImagine getting sentenced for murder because you COULD have stabbed me with the knife in the kitchen. Dumbest shit ever, being sentenced for something you never did but COULD do.

Female cop definitely gets off on this. Respectful & honest girl try’s to do the right thing and still gets punished for it. The “can we get her for..” comment was all you needed to hear to know she has 0 humanity. Let’s ruin someone’s life over a technicality even though their being cooperative.
I've seen laws like this ruin people's lives. An officer shouldn't even have jurisdiction on private property. Imagine sitting in a car in your own driveway and getting a DUI. She made a great choice to sit there until she was sober but was being punished for it. Now, people may take a chance of driving because the consequences are the same in the eyes of the law. Clown world.
This is what happens when you incentivize policing for profit. Next, they will be taking people off of their porches that are drinking because they have their car keys in their pockets.

Yep! It's because those FREAKING cops have a *QUOTA* for absolutely everything: tickets, citations, fines, arrests. It's policing by numbers and it's got nothing to do with protecting the public. Every cop is compelled to make their quota. It's policing by numbers which is meaningless. When the cop has achieved their quota for the month, does that mean that *CRIME STOPS OCCURRING* ???? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Who invented THAT dumb idea???
First mistake was talking to the officer when you're legally parked and not committing a crime. There is no circumstance where an officer can't make it even worse.
I hate how you should it’s somehow in your best interest to not talk to the people that are supposed protect and serve the community. Like you think they would give positive feedback with good communication, fucking ACAB
I am so glad that I live somewhere that doesn't do field sobriety tests. Those tests that they did there can be so many reasons to fail them that have nothing to do with having been drinking
So the incentive is to drive when you are drunk because you will certainly be charged with DUI if you think you had too much to drink and want to wait in your car until you sober up to be safe. Brilliant, truly brilliant. Years ago, cops would thank you for being responsible and ask you to sleep it off.
As a cop you don't HAVE to arrest someone even if they're technically doing something illegal. The girl is respectful and cooperative, there is no sign that she's planning to drive and imo a warning would've sufficed. You're punishing a person who is looking out for the safety of herself and the people around her and was only in a car with the key in the ignition for warmth
Problem is that cops are legal criminals and criminals want to damage people. These cops aren't doing there job to keep others safe, but only to damage people.
So if you felt she disrespected you or you're authority, you would have a different opinion...officer sir. Neither her sitting in a driver's seat nor her attitude towards cops has anything to do with DRIVING under the influence or posing a threat to society. Cops love using their perception of ppls disrespect as a determining factor of action. If you kiss my ass I may cut you a break.

I would have pos but I get your sentiment.
Agreed. There is a big difference in thinking between CAN I arrest her, compared to SHOULD I arrest her. Plus the "get her," this is all so sad.
Exactly! It’s disgusting
Exactly, I was thinking the exact same thing. They were going to do whatever it took to find a reason to arrest her.
Arresting people shouldn't be taken as some kind of scoring system where you get more points the more arrests you make. Police officers shouldn't be looking for every excuse and loophole they can think of in order to get more arrests. They are approaching policing completely wrong.
1) Was honest with the police.
2) Decided not to drive while impaired.
3) Complied with sobriety tests.
4) Was polite and cordial the entire time.
Police: "We've got ourselves a hardened criminal here, better arrest her."
I thought that was her list of mistakes....
Ere on the side of caution. She should have just stayed with the passenger at their house overnight. Whether it was her intent to just sit and chill, FL already determined her guilt while being in the driver's seat and intoxicated.
@@Ereaes oh stuff it. this is ridiculous. stop simping for a police state that punishes decisions that are SMART and NOT HARMFUL.
And this is why you don't talk to the police, don't answer questions, don't consent to searches or to sobriety tests.
@moaber even though she was being honest and the car didn't move...right.
The cop should have advised the girls to get an Uber, waited for the car, watched the girls to get into the Uber and moved on looking for someone dangerous to the community. The female cop is shameful
The girl states that an Uber is how she got to her vehicle from the house party; so why didn't she have the Uber driver take her home? Intoxicated individuals generally don't make sound/safe decisions. It's honestly 50/50 if she would have "chance'd" it and drove home. I do believe the police had every right to arrest, although maybe a public intoxication charge or calling a friend and waiting would have been more "community oriented". I would much rather someone sober up in a drunk tank than possibly kill/hurt someone else or themselves getting home from a night of drinking.
So arrest people for what they might do? What about leaning on your car while drunk? Or walking by it?
Yeah it s free too , well there is not evidence of her driving. But it s clear enough evidence of cops asking what they can get them for 🤔
Why to risk while looking for someone dangerous when you can just catch anybody for that they just are able to do something illegal.
Training is not designed to help people get to safety.
She was completely transparent and respectful. This is not justice.
good example why you don't talk to cops, they don't care they just want arrests

@@th34st dont generalize the good ones with the scummy ones.

And sometimes they understand what you're going thru.
@@NicoLas-xy3ew I'd like to believe that's true, but the overwhelming evidence I've seen is to the contrary.
Indeed, in this very case, the cop was clearly interested in arresting the student more than anything else. That was her Prime Objective. "Can we still get her for DUI?" she asks.
Despite the familiar phrase that used to be be painted on many police cars, cops are not interested in protecting and serving; their only interest is in detaining and arresting.
And that's a shame. It is not in society's interests to turn every encounter into an adversarial process.
But that's what cops do, and therefore it is the reason why lawyers correctly advise everyone to invoke their 5th amendment rights and refuse to answer any questions. And in suspected DUI situations, to refuse to perform field sobriety tests, which are subjective and unreliable.
Great job protecting the community by arresting people who made the smart choice.
That’s why I’m so pissed about this damn case/law. How are you gonna be smart and get arrested
Yeah, very smart choice. Sit in the driver's seat with the break lights on and the keys in the ignition drunk AF and underage. What a brilliant young lady.
I don't actually understand how in the world people aren't in favor of the cops on this one. She's underage and drunk, and literally all she has to do is put the car in reverse and start driving. This is standard DUI law pretty much everywhere. "All cops bad herp derp" without paying attention to what's going on sets our cause back, because they think we're just crying wolf during the actual bad interactions.
@@crazzluz1702mostly because we've seen abuses left and right from cops without consequences. So they have become the enemy. Was she driving? No. Fuck that cop, and fuck her word. Plus, let's see her do the roadside monkey dance. That shit is designed to get sober people to fail.

Lol this is nothing I had a cop detain me and search me 20 times because he's senile friend told him I'm a bad guy...
He would stop and search me every time he saw me.
I ended up moving to another city
Indeed, this is why so many law-abiding citizens hate cops.
But remember one important thing. If you are ever on a jury and a case like this , you can vote " not guilty" and reject the idea that a DUI is possible when a person is simply sitting in a car. You're not a robot and not a rubber stamp for the sometimes questionable, judicial system. There is the letter of the law, and there is the spirit of the law. I find it outrageous that anyone can be convinced of a DUI while sitting in a car. And remember, that DUI stays with you for LIFE.
100%. decision is always yours and you dont have to explain it
Only problem with that is with DUI there is no jury, a judge makes the decision and they are in on the scam to get as much money as possible out of drivers. If you wanted to fight it you'd spend a fortune on a lawyer with no guaranty that you'd get off.
@@manstersrYou always have a right to a Jury when it comes to criminal charges. You just might have to demand one.

The fact the cop says “can we still get them” shows their central goal isn’t to protect & serve… it’s to get people for whatever they can.

If you poke them enough they’ll tell you they’re going to get you on something haha
it is never protect and serve, that is not their duty as per the constitution. that is a courtesy extended to the public to maintain peace between law enforcement and citizens.

If the law enforcement officer didn't know and had to ask it's fair to say that an average citizen cannot be expected to know the laws at this point

This is a great example of someone who handles her alcohol extremely well! Good on her. Her only "offense" was respectfully agreeing to do what the officers asked her to do. Shame on the officers.
Handling alcohol well ONLY means the person has experience looking sober but actually impaired. The brain is still under the influence. So what that means is tolerance. Which means she’s had many experiences of extreme fun.

Alternatively their Uber could have taken them back to one of their houses and they could have slept it off and collected the car the next day.... Oh wait, they couldn't do that cos despite being 19 they were illegal to drink and would have got reamed by their parents for drinking at a party so they went to a car park instead and technically did a mild crime. Cops were horrendous and it ended in a mess. Wrong all round.
Police officers have discretionary powers to make judgement calls. She (the cop) could've had the girl call an uber, family, or friends to pick her up & leave it at that. But no, she'd rather destroy her life with this overzealous crap.
And then they wonder why so many ppl hate them
I call them domestic terrorists.
I’m the only one that doesn’t buy that there was an Uber. I would’ve been calm but upset that I’m getting arrested if I didn’t drive. They were respectful cause they were lying.
This taught me its better to risk driving home than risk sitting, waiting and getting a dui
4:46 Tech here, the key typically doesnt have to be in the ignition for the brake lights to illuminate. Similiar to the horn, typically it will function will the key out of rhe ignition.
The fact that the female officer asks if they can still get her on a DUI charge tells you all you need to know about how she does her job; dirty and without compassion or common sense. Just what we need more of in our LEO’s.
truuuuuth, disgusting behavior...
its a dui
@@teknizzle420 Yeah, she was totally DRIVING under the influence and definitely totally deserved that DUI (DRIVING under the influence) charge on her record. For sure. Definitely. Absolutely. Idiot
The most important job requirement of being a cop: Must be a nitpicking prick.
That's the whole legal system when you accept punishment for a victimless crime
Excellent work cops. You've taught these 2 girls to just go ahead and drive then because if they had they would've been long gone by the time you showed up since you LITERALLY PROVED EITHER WAY YOURE GETTING A DUI. Unbelievable.
Or.. she could have Ubered home. There's no excuse for this stupidity, and there's certainly no excuse for yours.
That's what I was thinking. I'm 40 years old and this stop tells me to may as well drive off and go home cause I'll be home and safe and not sitting in the car where I could still get arrested.
@@billbombshiggy9254 Absolute facts. you CAN be arrested for a DUI in your own driveway though, my friend has been lol. That's such BS, if you make it all the way home you should be good lol.
THIS. Punishing someone for doing the right thing is so wrong. I hope these police are able to sleep comfortably knowing they did this.
@@thenerdnetwork It happens ALL the time though. "No good deed goes unpunished" they say.
What was she supposed to do? Freeze to death? When you punish the best course of action, it means that next time they won't do the best thing. Next time she might drive drunk instead, hoping to get home before getting caught, or she might walk home, something incredibly dangerous for a young, impared woman to do in the middle of the night. Criminalizing safety helps no one.
thats so true to life.
when cops ask me if i was drinking and i say no they always waddle away.
Cant stop real criminals but preys on college kids, she needs to be fired
bro worse needs to happen but i cant say what else ill get slapped by retarded owners.
I wouldn't go that far. It was a jack-ass thing to do, for sure but the cop was within legal rights to do as she did. I imagine there must be a course that would benefit her though. Like there are courses for de-escalation for cops that make matters worse, something similar but that applies to what she did. Maybe something that teaches cops to apply the laws in the spirit they were given because this young lady was clearly not an intended target for this law.
The real problem, in my opinion is the law. Some sort of proof that the person had driven, or was intending to drive while under influence should also be necessary at the very least.
NO WONDER THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY IS HATED BY SO MANY.
It’s safer. Real criminals are dangerous.
@@alex86firethe break lights were on. That’s proof that she was in control. She should’ve taken an Uber home and the next day come back for her car.

It took me way too long to learn this lesson. But I did Make sure to teach my children not to talk to police.

That's the beauty of for profit prison systems. You get to systematically confine whatever group you want (mostly poor's and minorities), there's nothing they can do about it, and you'll be applauded for "keeping the streets safe" while your inhumane incarceration's center doesn't even meet basic human living conditions.

love how the seat is fully reclined and her knees were up on the steering wheel when they walked up so they were not in control is an argument that can be made
This is a law that definitely needs to be changed.
Lesson the kids have learned: go ahead and drive home so you don’t go to jail...
Only a bunch of douchebags would have arrested this girl for DUI. It’s a shame she even gave them the time of day.
I once knew a guy who used to be a cop and he told me there are two types of people who become cops 1. assholes and 2. people who were picked on or bullied in highschool and want retribution on society.
Honestly, that's my takeaway from this too. Driving home drunk seems like the better option.
I've been woken up and arrested 3 times for sleeping in my truck after a 6 pack or more, in a private parking lot.
@@buxe4042luckily I was never caught. I used to keep a blanket and a pillow behind my seat, would pull it out and climb into the bed of my truck and pass out in the bars parking lot.
Yep atleast u have a legit reason to arrest at that point smh might as well drive
This arrest is a great way to encourage other students to drive on the road for 20 minutes after drinking rather than staying parked while drunk for an hour or more since they get a DUI either way.
At my school they will camp out near the parking lots, and wait for students to leave or return between 1-3am.. I'm I night owl and every night like clockwork I see AT LEAST 2 traffic stop between those times.. Its like they're trying to hit a quota🙃
"Emotional damages, distress, assault and battery, unlawful arrest, unlawful detention, fourth amendment violation, fifth amendment violation. YOU WILL STAND DOWN OFFICER OR YOU WILL FACE FELONY CRIMINAL CHARGES."
Good job officer. You sure showed her. How dare she be responsible and catch an Uber ride home, and be 100% honest with said officer when caught behaving, not bothering anybody.
Under these laws you could be drinking in the comfort of your own home, forget something in your vehicle, go out to get it with no intention of operating said vehicle and still be at risk of a DUI charge if the cops happened to notice and investigate. It's ridiculous.
The wording is ambiguous enough that standing on your porch with your keys in your pocket could be argued as intent to operate or some such bullshit.
You could literally be drinking & working under your car with the keys in the ignition to play music and get a dui. 🥴
I know a cop who was off duty and got hit with this same situation. Outside his own apartment and went outside to his car to smoke. It was a cold night in Colorado so he had the engine running for warmth. He has been drinking inside and got a DUI.
These laws of the US lol crazy
It’s Floriduh. 🤷🏻♀️
3 times I've been threatened with DUI for NOT driving drunk.
1st. In a sleeping bag, asleep in back of SUV.
2nd. Sleeping in the bed of a pickup truck.
3rd. Walking a bicycle down the sidewalk.
Each time I just kept repeating, "I've learned my lesson, I'll just drive drunk next time."

This young woman made the correct, ethical and moral decision to not operate/drive her car. She absolutely did not deserve this.

They are just waiting for her to defend her rights so they can pin her to the ground.
That's the new way don't you know! It's a result of them being overstaffed abd seriously I learned this statistically there has been a decrease in serious crime so they spend their time harassing and arresting innocent citizens for petty misdemeanors. Oh abd btw they only resolve 5% of serious crime investigations. Nit an impressive track record. It's become blatantly obvious too b many cops show up to a simple traffic stop
You not just imagining things. These officers don't have enough work ie; crimes to solve.
This is what happens in small Towns, when nothing else is going on.
Should be required to be driving. No middle ground.
My brother got his 3rd DUI for this. He was pulled over, asleep with the keys on the passenger seat because he was drunk and didn't want to drive....
Gotta love when a cop literally admits that they are just out to "get" people. This is why answering a cop's questions NEVER helps you out, and only helps them to get you.
Yea the cops decided she was going to jail before she ever got out of the car. By agreeing to the biased tests you do nothing but hurt your attorneys chances to get you out of trouble. Never agree to anything voluntary that will incriminate you.
been noticing this vernacular quite often with police now. they’re all about cops vs people and not cops and people vs criminals
NEVER EVER! Welll said.
i’ve noticed that a lot lately
Officer's having it out for responsible citizens all for the sake of reaching that arrest quota.
She sure learned her lesson, better to just drive off under the influence than to try and do the right thing only to be punished for it.
god bless the boys in blue
That’s the lesson I learned when a friend got a DUI for essentially the same thing.
Yep, don’t do the right thing.
No good deed goes unpunished. By cops
NEVER do sobriety tests. You may end up in a jail cell, but they can't use them in court, and they WILL, even if you are stone cold sober.
We have yet to see anyone "pass" a field test
@kendallsmith1458 I have. I was designated driver off post once, stone cold sober, 35 years ago. But wouldn't do that test again.
I was a jury foreman on a case involving the exact same circumstance in Brazos County Texas. The CSPD did an investigation in search of crime identical to this. We unanimously acquitted the accused!!!
The "can you still get em for?" Says it all. They didnt care about safety or justice they cared about using their power to inflict punishment on this lady.
Fr, the moment she met her the only thoughts goin through her head was "how do i turn this college girl into a victim". She gave this kid a perma criminal record, for nothing.
Punishing her was incidental to running up their DUI numbers for rewards and advancement.
Imagine not being allowed to wait in your car till you are sober to drive safely.
Bro, it's already worse. Cops have been camping at bars waiting for people to Uber home, then they pull the Uber over and get them for public intoxication once they get down the street. There's also some dogshit law in Oklahoma or somewhere that says "public intoxication" is intoxication within plain view of the public which includes views from public roads. So some guy was arrested for public intoxication on his own property because he was visible from the adjacent residential street grilling in his backyard and drinking beer.

Even if they saw this coming and decided to wait outside of the car, perhaps sitting on the trunk and just talking for a few hours while they sobered up-
The officer would have tried to cite her for public intoxication despite the fact that she wasn't in anyway being a nuissance.
Should someone who has left a party that has ended feel the need to hide somewhere safe from view of police officers for fear of being arrested for having consumed alcohol earlier in the night?
Yes she was a minor, but the officer was determined to make an arrest based purely on the fact that alcohol had been consumed and the persons age wouldn't have changed anything.
@@juvygeniusyeah, admitted that she was drunk PARKED in her car to keep warm. There was no DUI going on.

Its really sad this wasnt an opportunity to build trust with the public. This young lady did all the cooperating a cop could ask for, and they still arrested her.
I mean it's easy. The cop decided she was guilty as soon as they pulled up to her car. Can't get more clear cut than that, the officer is trained in determining who is a criminal, and that girl was a big one!
@@Watchmanadmin I dunno about "a big one" since I felt she had a valid claim that they were just sitting in the car. But I do agree the intent from the start was to arrest her.
I understand the cops did nothing wrong here, but still really wish this girl was given a warning instead of a DUI charge that will have major impacts on her life. She seemed to have the type of demeanor and character that could benefit more from a close call/warning, even if it was her intent to drive home that night.
11:40 “This is my house” She could have passed out in her friends house but decided to wait in her car to get sober? Too intoxicated to make decisions it’s a good arrest
@@anonymoush5454 and that's why I made sure at the end of my comment to make it a point that she still may have had the intent to drive home, cause I agree, it was very strange her friend lived there and they didn't go inside. My best guess is that she wasn't allowed to stay overnight in her dorm, and she was planning to drive home.
Still doesn't change my view that she could have benefited more from a warning. It's hard to recover in life from some of these charges, and sometimes people need a second chance.
If we all were judged so harshly on our mistakes, all of us would have a miserable life.
@@jonathanzimmer6831 not judging a mistake, I’d be prosecuted by god for mine lol. But they showed impairment in their decision making because nobody thinking logically would choose to sober up in their car instead of their friends house.

I’d dui them for sure because you never know if they’ll do it again and make the wrong choice to drive next time

I totally disagree with what these officers did to this girl
She was trying to do the right thing and not drive the car
I think the most that they should have probably done and maybe not even this is arrest her for public intoxication but in order for that someone has to be a danger to themselves or others and I don't see that here
I think they should have asked the girls to go into one girl's dormitory and sleep it off now they put this girl in a position where she has to agree to all these crazy things that the court has come up with her to do it was way too many in my opinion it's very harsh punishment for someone in the first time position hopefully it won't happen again but I think it was INXS
I also blame the judge in the courts for laying this heavy burden on this young girl when I think the judge should have just thrown the whole case out in the interest of fairness because she was trying to do the right thing
"Hey let's go fishin' tonite"
"Alright, I'll get the patrol car"
The only message this sends is that it's better to risk driving drunk than to be responsible. Good job hero, thanks for the service and protection.
Well I think the main point is to avoid being in a vehicle at all. However, under the pretense of the situation if you have no other option but to enter your car to stay warm/safe, then you are better off drunk driving home. So I think we need to be realistic about this so people take our point seriously.

Remember people no matter how honest you are with cops. Your ARREST is their PROMOTION.

I don't answer questions
the problem is you need to give people incentive to do their jobs this applies to every type of work. When they arrest an actual criminal the bonus they earn is deserved it should just be more regulated what arrest gives what reward or a punishment like taking away from salary when these corrupted arrests are made but that will never happen.
17:19 This channel does good work, but on this one, he dropped the ball on the most important part of the video. I don't fault him for not knowing because he is not a police officer. I work in this field, and it is true that we do have discretion on traffic stops but not on felony traffic stops and DUI. If the defendant is going through a DUI investigation and is over .08, you must make the arrest. It sucks that the defendant did not know the law that you can't be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated plus, she told the officer that she had been drinking tonight, which made the officer have to take action (remember she is recording) so if the defendant was let go and did drive, got into a crash, and killed someone or herself then the department could be civilly liable and the officer could be civilly and criminally liable. So I believe the grade should be an A+. The officers did a great job. They explained everything to the defendant and treated both parties with respect. I hope this helps everyone understand a bit more. Great work all in all though ATA

The key was in the ignition and the tail lights were on. She was underaged driving. The law is the way it is because there is no way to verify that she wasn't about to drive, so they set the line at being in the driver's seat with the keys, which she was.
Now, that said, there are a couple things I would have liked to see the cops check. First, put you hand on the hood to see if it's warm. That checks to see if she has already been driving. Next, ask her if she is willing to show her Uber account info. If she and her friend had already been sitting there a while her claim that they were not planning on driving is a bit better...
But here is the thing... a lot of drunk people might sit and wait until they felt safe to drive, but a lot of drunk people would still decide to drive well before they are safe to drive.

Only in the USA can you be arrested and charged for not committing a crime or avoiding to commit a crime.....
Seems like the cop was set on ruining this young lady's life.
Their cops. The fact that you believe they would is astounding.
@@krane15you're incredibly naive if you believe otherwise
@@krane15they’re. Also you don’t watch many videos on this channel do you
“can we still get her even if she didnt drive?”
Yep! It's because those FREAKING cops have a *QUOTA* for absolutely everything: tickets, citations, fines, arrests. It's policing by numbers and it's got nothing to do with protecting the public. Every cop is compelled to make their quota. It's policing by numbers which is meaningless. When the cop has achieved their quota for the month, does that mean that *CRIME STOPS OCCURRING* ???? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Who invented THAT dumb idea???
First mistake was talking to the officer when you're legally parked and not committing a crime. There is no circumstance where an officer can't make it even worse.
I hate how you should it’s somehow in your best interest to not talk to the people that are supposed protect and serve the community. Like you think they would give positive feedback with good communication, fucking ACAB
If I recall officers have no jurisdiction on private parking areas. This was an apartment type parking lot. So street policing does not work here.
The most important free advice you will ever get from a lawyer. But some people can't remain silent to save their lives.
@@1014pLooks like it was campus police on a campus parking lot I think. Not sure what the legality is there.
If they would have kept the windows up and quiet there would have been no evidence of alcohol at all, unless the officer get plain site of the cans.
I am so glad that I live somewhere that doesn't do field sobriety tests. Those tests that they did there can be so many reasons to fail them that have nothing to do with having been drinking
So the incentive is to drive when you are drunk because you will certainly be charged with DUI if you think you had too much to drink and want to wait in your car until you sober up to be safe. Brilliant, truly brilliant. Years ago, cops would thank you for being responsible and ask you to sleep it off.
Hard to imagine that this young woman making a choice to not drive while intoxicated was the worst crime happening around the area at the time.
Cops can solve more than one crime at a time.
Yeah she didn't mean to drive cuz she said so right? Not like people lie to avoid trouble or anything
Good point. All this video did was to make the cops look petty.
she was Charged for DUI which she didnt do!@@iamme25yago
@@TheRedHorseman1208 So, guilty until proven innocent? You must love the taste of rubber and leather.
As a cop you don't HAVE to arrest someone even if they're technically doing something illegal. The girl is respectful and cooperative, there is no sign that she's planning to drive and imo a warning would've sufficed. You're punishing a person who is looking out for the safety of herself and the people around her and was only in a car with the key in the ignition for warmth
Problem is that cops are legal criminals and criminals want to damage people.
These cops aren't doing there job to keep others safe, but only to damage people.
And this is why I'll call her a pig.
So if you felt she disrespected you or you're authority, you would have a different opinion...officer sir.
Neither her sitting in a driver's seat nor her attitude towards cops has anything to do with DRIVING under the influence or posing a threat to society.
Cops love using their perception of ppls disrespect as a determining factor of action.
If you kiss my ass I may cut you a break.
You're mental state is what dictates you're perception of respect or lack of. The person you are dealing with had something effect their mental state prior to interaction with you As well.
Please do you're job and leave you're ego at home.
Please do *you are* job and leave *you are* ego at home. Nice.
@@patrickpatton7123you’re probably reading his comment as if he has a BIG ego. if he did he probably would’ve disrespected the girl for even being in the car sleeping and give them ticket out of the blue. you clearly don’t respect human decency huh.
