DUI Checkpoint Video

Yikes.... A few bad apples spoil the bunch. I was skeptical until the officer practically admitted it on tape.

Either way, I think we need DAs to go after cases like this more strictly like they do so very many others. Make a few examples on the few power trip officers, and make it known they will be canned, sacked, and persecuted if they violate fundamental rights.

I'd like to make sure people remember that the majority of police are not like this, or have better intentions. And I think that many upstanding officers are just as sickened by the admissions on tape here as we are. So lets not start generic cop bashing here.

LEO question. Are you told to, or assigned to be on traffic/check point duty, or is it something that officers can seek out?

[OtterbatHellcat]

That is so fucked up.

[BushMasterBoy]

DA's going after police? Only when pressured by public outrage!

Guy needs to be fired. Bottom line. That should not be tolerated and a guy with that type of attitude should not be enforcing laws

Contrary to the other thread and the discussion about LEO's who shoot first, I also have very little patience or regard for assholes like this kid who go out of their way to deliberately antagonize LEO's who are merely doing their job. There's far too many of these "YouTube heros" out trying to "assert their rights" by needlessly pissing off cops. This guy had a camera all setup and ready to go, and I bet he was tickled shitless to find himself a DUI checkpoint to throw himself into as a "victim".

There was absolutely NO reason for this punk to refuse to roll his window down, and to then start with the "am I being detained? I know my Constitutional rights. I don't consent to a search. Etc. etc..." bullshit. That cop did nothing other than react to a suspicious driver, at a checkpoint LOOKING for suspicious drivers.

Don't start none, won't be none.

So are you mad he had a camera to video tape it? Or are you mad he didn't immediately submit to search without due process, reasonable suspicion or probable cause?

I don't dig "set up's" either.....I believe that is the case in this video.....

However, the conduct captured here is deplorable.
