It happened again....
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013...ct-police-dog/ This is the kind of thing that happens when the entrance standards are lowered in order to have a more diverse police force.

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. |

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. |

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.

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? |

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.
