One thing you failed to mention was, the federal government (DoJ) has programs that provide additional funding to state and local governments for the more DUI arrests (not convictions) police make. So it's in a police departments best interest to have as many DUI arrests as possible to qualify for that free funding. As a result, a lot of police departments have contests, awards and special bonuses for the cops that make the most DUI arrests (not convictions). That's why you see stories about completely sober people being arrested for DUI. It pads the arrest numbers for free federal money and the cops have qualified immunity that protects them from civil litigation so they don't care if you are innocent and released by the DA or found not guilty. Cop pays no price for the arrest and in fact, most times, gets an award

you are mixing up "operate" with "drive" again. If the engine is running, you're operating the machine. Is the standard stupid? yes. Is it the standard? Also yes.

@@peterrose5373no person should be arrested unless they actually break a law. Not create laws that are unreasonable in order to prevent people from getting that far. Any person who operates but does not drive a vehicle should not be arrested. Only after showing intent to drive should one risk an arrest. The only way to actually know if there is intent is if they start driving. Or they state so. Otherwise, there are many non-driving operations of a modern vehicle that an intoxicated person can safely operate. Many people have stayed alive thanks to the non driving operations of a vehicle. In no way is it reasonable to make it illegal to have non-driving operation of the vehicle. It’s really just to support the incarceration industrial complex and money farm for agents of the state.

If police want to know why they are neither liked or respected it is because of officers like this one. The guy had an Uber in route and the dirty officer flagged him away. I would also say using deception is another reason police are neither liked or respected.

This seems to be a common situation where a cop stalks a night club waiting on patrons to leave then target them for some intoxication offense.

@@seanharvey1124 Although both you guys with MS have ample reason to be excused from an FST, you needn't justify why in the first place. No matter how much the cop berates you and outright LIES that it's a "DUI refusal", (it's not, only the post-arrest calibrated machine, aka the "Intoxilizer 9000" is what you have given "implied consent" to perform), you are not required to do them. Hint: If the officer already has probable cause for a DUI arrest, then he doesn't NEED the FST, so you're doing well won't help you "pass" (no one EVER does, they're rigged to "fail" virtually everyone, that's a reason why they're not admissible as evidence of intoxication), if he lacks probable cause but arrests you anyway, not only is the chance of getting your case dismissed or prevailing at trial typically excellent, you may have a cause for action against that officer's state or municipality for damages.

You are not required to open the door or talk to the police. If you don't bow to their authority, then you are a threat and hurt their feelings. You challenge them in their minds. The safest thing you can do, DON'T TALK TO THEM. Give them nothing. There are two things that you can depend on about cops: 1) They are not your friend and not here to help you. 2) Anytime the police don’t have something on you, they are working to have something on you. So, Don’t Talk to The Police.

I once spatted a car driving erratically. When I gave the dispatcher the license plate number number she said, "Wait, that's a cop car." I told her I could see that it was a cop car. I honestly did not believe the cop was drunk, I thought he was in trouble medically speaking. The dispatcher asked the cop to pull over, stating that the car behind him needed to speak with him. So the cop pulled over. With 911 on speaker I walked up and asked him if he was okay. And when he answered I could smell the alcohol quite clearly. The dispatcher already had LEO's on the way (CHP) so when I asked the cop, "Man, have you been drinking?" this was a signal to the dispatcher that I could smell alcohol. About this time the CHP rolled up and I thought they would take over, but for whatever reason the CHP wanted me to perform a citizens arrest on the cop. Looking back this was a really stupid thing for me to do, but I still trusted the police at this time. The cop ended up pleading guilty (I think he was 3 times the legal limit) so I didn't have any liability. But I effectively pulled over a cop and performed a DUI arrest on him. While it was cool at the time, it's not something I'd ever want to do again. Apparently this particular cop was a problem and they were looking for a way to get rid of him. I just provided the way.

Crazy story! In 1999, I was coming home on a Sunday evening (around 7 or so) after grocery shopping. I had not had one drink. The street I lived on was cobblestone (an older historic street in Tampa), and when people parked on the street on both sides, it became a one-lane street/road. I swerved one block from my apartment complex parking lot to avoid a head-on collision with another vehicle. I ended up clipping the mirror off a car parked on the street. So, I drove my car, parked in the parking lot of my apartment complex, and went to look for the vehicle's owner. I knocked on a few doors and couldn't locate the owner. I returned to my apartment, took my groceries upstairs, and reported the incident to my insurance company. I returned to try to find the owner again with the claim number so they could fix their vehicle. It turns out that the owner thought it was a hit-and-run and called the cops. He (the owner) felt bad and called the police department, but they insisted on continuing to send out an officer even though no one was hurt. Two hours later, we were still waiting, and during that time, the owner of the vehicle offered me a beer while we sat on his front porch waiting. When the cop finally showed up, he claimed that I cracked a beer open to avoid a DUI and that I "knew what I was doing" and charged me with reckless driving instead. Keep in mind, I had a clean driving record then and still do today. Needless to say, I had my day in court, and my reckless driving charge was dropped. In fact, I didn't even get charged with being at fault due to the "accident." I represented myself in court, and I was lucky to have the right judge. I did do my homework and took sworn affidavits from other residents on the street proving that they had also been in the same situation to avoid a head-on collision. I had pictures and other documentation with measurements that indicated only one car could pass when other cars were parked on both sides of the street. Without hiring a lawyer, I am unsure if it would be that clear, cut, and dry these days.

Let's rehash what this lawyer said about Pennsylvania. In the state of Pennsylvania, USA, you can be arrested for DWI if you drive home totally sober, not having any alcohol before driving, and settle down for a restful evening with an alcoholic beverage when a cop comes to your home and has you take a breath analyzer. Based on his "opinion," whether you test lower than .08, he can arrest you for DWI. That should be criminal. How many people drive home in Pennsylvania totally sober and have a drink at home? More than likely hundreds of thousands. Maybe millions. How in the world did that become a law? Welcome to your police state, Pennsylvania.

Some years ago I went to a benihana and as I was walking to my truck I realize I drank way too much. So I decide to take a nap and sober up. I hop in my seat turn on the radio and pass out. Some hour later someone’s banging on my window and i’m being blinded with light in my eyes. It’s 2:sherrif deputies, they ask what I’m doing, I explain, they demand i exit the vehicle grill me and force me to undergo “field sobriety test” I protest, I’m not driving, I’m being responsible. He tells me if I fail Or refuse I will be arrested. So i preform and pass these agility tests, then drops Ok you must pass the breathalyzer, if I blow greater than .08 to jail I go, even though he admits i pass the physical. So I blow, the evil tool says .08. (in a huff) Cop tells me to get the fuck out of here, go home or i’m arrested, But I’m nervous and feel a little buzzed still, he drives off but i know he’s hiding around the corner, so I delay a minute walk a bit, drink some water then leave. Regardless of me not driving, being responsible, and doing the right thing' that cop told me he could arrest me simply for siting in my truck drunk, only his partner held him back from arresting me. Even if i passed those tests and he “felt” i was intoxicated he could/should arrest me. Moral of the story, do the right thing and you will be screwed anyway, so after this exp. when I drank I drove home.

I'm autistic, and I sometimes worry if my autistic traits could potentially be misconstrued as signs of intoxication. I never drink and drive.

But I do have some autistic traits like poor motor skills and monotone speech which I could see being misconstrued as signs of intoxication. Monotone speech could also give the officer the impression that I'm not being truthful. It sucks that there have been so many interactions with police involving autistic people that have ended horribly, but that's the reality of it. I just hope I never go to jail for a DUI when I am completely sober. That would piss me off so much.

As a general rule, IF the cop is bothering to ask you to perform a FST, he's ALREADY made the decision to arrest you for DUI ANWAY, believing he already has the probable cause to do so. As Jules Winnfield of "Pulp Fiction" might say, "yo' ass ain't moon-walkin' yo' way outta this shit!" And should you refuse the FST, it's NOT probable cause to arrest for DUI if it doesn't already exist, no matter how "huffy" or outraged the officer behaves. I wonder if the attorney can ever cite a case where the client actually "passed" the FST but was arrested ANYWAY, and if his BAC was above or even near the presumed limit.

Wait, "Operating" a vehicle?? But the charge is for "Driving Under the Influence" I think we all know that long ago, in the early times of automobile use, they called it "Operating the vehicle".

The function of a car is to provide transportation. If you are not using it as transportation, you are not "operating" it. IMO. What he was doing, was using its feature of air conditioning. It's like saying if you turn the radio on your operating the car. You're not. You're operating the radio in the car. It just happens to be attached to it. At least, this would be the case in a world where cops are not rewarded for any and all potential arrests. No matter how frivolous.

'To Serve and Protect the Blue Gang.' If there is no crime the department may be downsized. Suckling at the tit of the taxpayer, but we need more, for the lawyers and the court system in our jurisdiction. You can be arrested for blowing a 0.00%, get your car towed. You will be found not guilty but the arrest will still show on any background check made and you will be unable to recover the tow/impound fees you had to pay.

Sadly here in bantario canucjistan they made such tests mandatory under severe penalties despite the fact that such are massively inaccurate even kn thr best of days And now their latest idiot move is trying to apply bs like lifetime dl ban for car thieves like the bad guys give a shit about that in the 1st place Or if they do they could get a dl elsewhere that is still recognized as valid here and they can't say boo about

@@MrRaja That doesn't completely solve the issue of being arrested for DUI when you're sober. Knowing how to protect yourself from prosecution is a must. There are countless news stories of police arresting people who they know are sober. Local DUI attorneys are the best resource.

@@MrRaja Considering that folks that "blew zeroes" STILL get arrested for DUI, Or, the cops then claim the driver was on "drugs" (usually unspecified, and unlike alcohol, there are no presumptive limits that can at least reasonably quantify the degree of intoxication). It's about cops making quotas, cities getting Federal matching funds based on DUI arrests, tow companies giving kickbacks to officers that bring them business, and the "system" in general making money off of hapless drivers caught in its web. Keep in mind, some state legislatures, in their deliberations, have actually discussed that DUI arrests are DOWN, and the REVENUES that result likewise are dwindling, and rather than congratulate themselves that DUI enforcement is getting positive results, they actually want to find ways to INCREASE those arrests. Hence the slogans about "buzzed" driving, or "drugged" driving, or inattentive or sleep-deprived driving. Some states are now trying to classify driving while DROWSY as a form of "intoxication". It's getting ridiculous.

In Florida you can be charged and convicted with DWI if you are in a car with your keys and the car has never moved. Cops can wait outside a bar and watch you enter a car. Once you are in the car and have not even turned on the car you can be charged and convicted.

if you refuse the roadside, what happens to your vehicle if they want to bring you in for a full in station breath test. will they tow it or let you park it properly so it is safe while they bring you in? Im sure they are not going to wait long for a relative or friend to show up to pick up your vehicle. They may have had you pull over in a non parking spot but simply on the side of a highway or road. What is the protocol? How do you protect your property?

Generally, IF you're arrested for DUI, and the police must have probable cause to do, your vehicle gets towed and IMPOUNDED, which can be VERY COSTLY. It's not unheard of for a hapless driver to incur a tow and impound fee of over $1,000 for a few days! In some states, IF you have another driver, sober, licensed and capable, to give your vehicle to, the officer may, upon DISCRETION, allow your relative or friend to drive your ride away, avoiding the impound. Keep in mind that police unions and "benevolence" societies often LEGALLY get Incentives from tow companies to bring them business! Be certain that never will the cops just let your leave your ride parking on the roadside.
@richeyrich2203

Yeah, they all get kickbacks. But the cost incurred can be demanded from the department when they drop the charges or when your case is won. And by refusing everything your case will be most likely to win, relative to the other options. You can also fight for damages.. but in the end it’s just a thing. What matters is your freedom under heavy tyrants hands

You know I remember a time that if you was trying to do something right and the cops and clearly see that That they would only give you advice next time you may want to do it differently next time Because the next cop may not have no common sense to see it doesn't care if your mama just pulled up to take you home you're still sitting behind the wheel and he knows bet you weren't going to drive but hey you're sitting behind the wheel No wonder the locals don't likes the cops Not even considered as you're in the middle of doing it the right way I remember getting pulled over to caught but see I have no record or DUI or something That I'm a pretty good citizen law abiding citizen and give me a warning But now I feel like I'm being punished my past record doesn't mean s*** Treat me like I'm the top notch criminal of all time So yeah people are scared and nervous when a cop walk up to the window and then ask why are you nervous They say they won't respect they're not giving them back They know when somebody's trying to do things the right way Play pretty much can tell it's you're not a threat to them but to treat you that way anyways If they would just tell the person why they pulled him over right off the bat that would calm the person down even more that would also help them to communicate better When things are so obvious but they still can find a way to rescue they do it don't make sense
