It happened again....

This is the kind of thing that happens when the entrance standards are lowered in order to have a more diverse police force.

Well that is what I said if you read my post is you should not hackle a cop because you have no idea if they are going to follow the law or push the limits.With one cop you could be fairly vocally hostile(meaning unfriendly rude but not making a specific threat) and they only should let you go say of they pulled you over or give a you a violation if you committed one.But another cop if you act that way might push the situation and at best kind of hackle you back which just makes the encounter longer or at worst go to the extreme.

Honestly I disagree that the "culture" is out of control.When you take into account how many LE officers there are in the incidents of abuse that prove to be true are not that common.

Generally speaking the typical person does not ever even encounter an FBI agent so I cant really see the evidence that they as a whole are out of control.

One thing people forget is that we have a free press here is the US so any incident gets tons of attention yet when cops do good deeds or just the everyday good that they do that hardly ever gets attention.It is just like everything else the bad gets noticed and the good does not.


Your advice kind of fails in Florida though where if you refuse you loose your license for 6 months of course that is better than one year if you get a conviction.Of course to be honest I really have no pity for a person who in truth was drunk getting off.They did risk their and everyone else lives by driving.


My brother in law is your worst enemy by the way he is one of the guys that works for the state crime lab in Louisiana he calibrates and maintains every single breath machine in LA as well as trains the all cops (not just the State Police) for their initial and renewal training they even calibrate the machines on Fort Brag and Barkesdale AFB as well as a few USCG stations.

They keep very detailed records for the machines and training records I saw the lab once pretty neat to see how they do it all.Of course my brother in law or one of the other techs has to show up for any DUI trial should they be called.Seems that the defense usually knows that trying to argue the accuracy is a moot point at of the machine itself.

Advice definitely does not fail in FL, I am from FL.What is better? Take a six month admin suspension for now submitting to the test, beat the conviction and not be forced into the money racket that is a DUI conviction? Special interests like MADD for example, get at least one(often more) mandated attendance to their "impact panels" by the convicted, last I checked it was $80 per panel in FL.Then everyone convicted is sent for an evaluation, which from what I understand usually leads to mandatory counseling sessions(evne if no prior alcohol record because in this pc world, every who likes to drink is an alcoholic) , at the expense of the convicted.Truth is, there is DUI according to the idiotic laws most have and actual DUI. The common .08 limit is BS, people are not drunk at the level yet plenty of people get arrested, foolishly submit to their tests and get convicted, then get caught in the government racket, costing them thousands of dollars so yes, best not to help them out, take the 6 month admin, get a hardship license, beat the rap .

I agree, it's pretty rare to beat a breathalyzer based on the maintenance records, they are pretty meticulous about that.I have seen a breath test successfully thrown out once based on maintenance issues, other times it is for other reasons.Actually know of one getting dismissed because it was shown the officer who administered it had not completed training on the machine yet, they were busy and no one else to operate it, so he performed the test, was fun when that little bit surprised the persecutor, ooked like she was going to cry lol nothing like watching government stooges fall flat.

Stay off their radar.

Well that is ideal, but does not always happen and in the event they get you, there are ways to minimize the damage and not helping them to convict and extort thousands of dollars out of you.

Yeah give it to a defense attorney instead.

Sorry but when people get hammered and kill other people in their vehicle and fail to even realize it I really do not feel bad at all if a person who truly had been drinking looses their license for 6 months or a year and it winds up costing them $10,000 which is what it cost my ex-brother in law in LA a few years ago(a good share of that went to the defense).

It is called responsibility if you are drunk you should not be driving a vehicle.Just pray that if you do drive drunk you get caught by the cops or make it home cause if you injure or kill someone in my family or one of my friends the fines will be the least of your problems.

Of course this has nothing to do with police brutality actually breaking the law and receiving the legal punishment and police brutality caused either against an innocent person or even one that did violate the law are two different things completely.

DUI has nothing to do with being what most people call drunk. Alcohol even in moderate doses has been proven to impair cognitive and motor skills that are relied upon when driving. Even the morning after a drinking session where your blood alcohol level reached 0.1 or more your reaction times are likely to be impaired despite the fact that you would not be classified as being drunk.

Yep, most of my breathalysers were 'the morning after' jobs.

Okay, it is one thing is someone is drunk of their rear, drives, hits and injures or kills someone, but if pulled over and happen to slightly over the limit, big difference.Throwing the book at people or putting them through what is tantamount to legal extortion because of what MIGHT happen is wrong in every aspect.Typical overreaction by the government.


Yes, it has something to do with police misconduct, they will lie to people, coerce them into incriminating themselves with field sobriety tests, breathalyzers etc. The big picture issues is protecting yourself against the government and it's ruthless, often arbitrary punishment.Gaming the system to get out from under the "boot" is just fine.That is why people should be aware of their rights and refuse helping LE in anyway.

Yes, I know they claim everyone is impaired after the small amount of alcohol but I disagree, everyone is different, one size fits all.I can consume quite a before I am impaired..08 is a ridiculously low limit but it allows them to get people into the money racket based on what "might" happen.Someone causes a wreck and is actually drunk, okay they deserve punishment, but the harsh penalties for being over some arbitrary limit set by the government? not right.I think a citation, order to leave the car on the side of the road and call a cab would be much more sensible and warranted but then they government would not get to extort thousands of dollars from the victims of their oppressive laws now would they?

Same county, Same dog, same medical center, same outcome, and yet another white guy anally raped by hispanic thugs with a badge.

And so far, no national coverage. I'd bet all of my money that if the anally raped victims were latino and the officers were white it would be plastered on every news channel in America. Maybe even another L.A riots scenario. But outlets like the today show care more about "What does the fox say" than the outrageous abuse of power and extreme infringement upon a man's right not to get repeatedly anally raped by police officers for failing to stop and then getting billed by the hospital.

This country's political correctness makes me want to vomit.

You know about it. I know about it. People in Australia, the UK, Germany and Slovenia know about it. I'd say the internet is doint its job.

Were the doctors who did the actual "raping" latino? I would actually take your bet. The pedigree of the people involved should not be an issue, and so far you're the only person who has made it one.

I've never known the Today Show to be about anything other than fluff. Expecting them to be more is, in my opinion, asking for the impossible. That said, after watching the news report posted by HW3 I would say justice is on the way to being served. The doctors who performed the procedures are under investigation by the state licensing board, as are the police officers. After all this I'd say both of the injured parties are likely to win any lawsuits brought against the city of Deming.

While its nice that some in the international community know, its far more important that americans know. A domestic problem calls for domestic solutions. This man, under the guise of "law", was raped and his rights completely disregarded. Its an example of the bigger problem of police injustice. In my opinion, i find it to be a very big deal when officers of the law, whose duty is to protect ME and MY rights (indeed all citizens), takes the power he has been given (which realistically, in a face-to-face encounter, extends far beyond what powers hes legally given, his firearm, training, and authority rendering me essentially at his mercy) and abuses it for his own ends. Doesn't do a dead victim much good when a cop actually gets sentenced for shooting first and asking questions later in violation of the law. This is the reason i believe that law enforcement needs a huge overhaul, and why this story should be aired on national programs, so with any luck people begin to desire reform.

No, of course not. Idealistically it shouldn't matter what race anyone is, a crime is a crime. But hate crime laws exist, and the media certainly has a bias. My point was that, had the races been reversed, it more than likely wouldve sparked another Treyvon Martin-type scenario and been plastered on news channels across the country, because of PC and this ultra-sensitivity to anything even remotely considered "Racially charged". I wasn't trying to insinuate that this incident involved racism, it was more of a stab at the bias of the media. Its been more of a "race doesnt matter unless the victim is colored" kind of mentality rather than "race doesn't matter period".

I think they should be thrown in jail, frankly, and that losing their license isn't exactly a far enough punishment for the rape of not one but two men by the same county and the same medical center. We all know that had the men been raped by some random joe that they would already be in jail and set for trial, why should these people be punished any differently because they wear a lab coat or a badge?
