Wake up? I don’t need to. No illegally obtained evidence should be allowed at trial. None. That is violation of law and our rights.

I’m talking about this incident where the cop did not violate the law. The driver gave the cop golden opportunities by failing to signal and then hitting the curb. Just hitting the curb alone gives the cop the legal power to check for DUI. That is enough right there to check for DUI.

No mention of a dash cam. Surely such a competent officer has this all on video. No mention of a field sobriety test.

They're not. Sounds like the guy entered a freeway without his turn signal on (according to the cop, but come on you see it every day). Sorry folks, you want law enforcement out there "saving lives", this is how they do it. This is how they enforce DUI laws. You all knew that, right? They use every day violations to pull people over and ask them about other things.

The problem with your position on this so called LEO never informed the citizen as to why he had been pulled over and in fact his line of questioning was all about “What’s in your car?”

After Mirandizing the citizen, he took the vehicle(Big no, no) to HQ and had his buddies rifle the car looking for anything they could find.

Upon finding nothing, he issued a ticket, for whatever charge he manufacture to make his stop legit.

Truth is: He wanted in the man’s vehicle so could proceed to charge him with a crime he didn’t even have “Reasonable Cause”(Forget Constitutional “PROBABLE CAUSE”)

Cop is a thug and needs to be fired.
