I believe this account completely —I was robbed on a street at night by uniformed SFPD patrolmen.
Sounds like fiction, right?
He wasn't, so he was smart in getting the gov. involved.......I'd have done the same thing
>>>Good lord people are naive here.
So are you.
>>>What SHAMELESS members here.
No one is forcing you to be here. Perhaps you’d be more at home elsewhere. Don’t let the door hit ya in the arse on your way out.
That video shows nothing, nada. Officers are almost always placed on administrative leave when a charge as serious as this is leveled at them. You seem to forget this whole episode would never have happened if the accused had just TAKEN THE DWI test at the scene. Her refusal set the stage for this whole fiasco. As far as the “burned out headlight”...what don’t you get about malfunctioning equipment being the standard to allow police to stop ANY suspicious vehicle. It may not be right, but 100% of police use it to stop suspicious activity.
“uniformed SPPD”? Another tourista falls for the masquarade in SF by criminals.
I don't know where you are getting your information from but nothing has been discredited. IN FACT, the news station has reviewed the police evidence and everything the husband has stated has been substantiated.......
Thus the current investigation by internal affairs........
You might be right, but the events which occurred at and after the police station don’t sound like an arresting officer having good judgment at the least.
If evidence reflects that these two officers conspired to have the husband pulled over, they should both be terminated.
This could lead to a civil suit and some sort of big dollar settlement.
“More rotten cops” hitting all the left wing web sites thanks to a few here that have tried, convicted, and sentenced the officer to hard labor simply because the law tells him he has to arrest anyone who declines a breathalyzer test AND he resembles the corrupt warden’s lieutenant in “The Shawshank Redemption”.....
Shame on some of you here.

Or it could be about an officer thinking he was half an hour away from seeing his family ending up spending 4 hours messing with a self important Bit c h who refused a breathalyzer test and then tried to make a federal case out of it, to the point of lying....
lol. your naivete is amusing.

Glad to assist in making your Sunday afternoon a little more pleasurable. You take care now....
First of all, she blew .0000000 and that has been substantiated. Second of all, a ticket for a faulty headlight would have been issued if there was one in order for the officer to at least save some face here......The fact that he didn't issue a ticket was because there was no faulty headlight and that was merely an excuse he used to pull her over hoping for a DUI arrest or "something else".......
As far as the husband being pulled over while following officer Gomer, then released, that is in the police records also and I'm sure officer Smith is going to sing like a bird when internal affairs questions him.
As for your claim that the wife "should have blown into the breathalizer when pulled over", do I need to remind you that we are citizens of the United States and do not yet live under a Police State?
Shameless? Look who’s talking. You’re shilling for rogue cops.
The “rest of the story” is ‘he said she said’ as reported by ‘him’. Sorry I am not convinced, I say fire both officers.
You are really, really personalizing this thing. If being a half hour from seeing his family was such a big deal, he could easily have escorted the woman to her destination, less than a mile away. Happens all the time with borderline, mild intoxication or other mechanical issues.
But, no, he appears to have engaged in at least a bit of vindictive behavior, directed at the woman's husband, at a minimum. And, for that, he's under investigation, as is his fellow officer. It was hearsay, tit for tat up to that point. That's where things went flying right out the window as far as any remote pretense of propriety.
Are you Trooper Wyrick’s wife or brother or something?
She said she hadn’t been drinking. The cop said he smelled alcohol. She blew a 0.00 on a machine. TWICE!
You still trust the cop?
The cop can’t give you an accurate address, so he get hte man to follow. Then he speeds off with his wife, KNOWING THAT HEN IS FOLLOWING. I guess that seconds state trooper showing up to stop him was just a coincidence wasn’t it.
Where was the ticket for the headlight out?
I’m normally all behind cops, but this one stinks. If I’m that trooper, I better get a good lawyer.
I was widowed at a young age with four young children. I felt it was important to raise my children properly and not get remarried. And I do not drink at all. Over the years I have been stopped by Highway Patrolman and propositioned, but the funniest incident happened a few years ago, when I, in my 80s was pulled over while driving alone one night after visiting my sister who had just had a stroke. This nice young patrolman was very polite and friendly, but once he had seen my driver’s license, he apologized and told me to be on my way. Guess we all look younger in the dark.
“he could easily have escorted the woman to her destination, less than a mile away. Happens all the time with borderline, mild intoxication or other mechanical issues.”
What planet do you live on? When YOUR family is hit by this lady who may have been “mildly intoxicated” and or upset about being stopped, or whatever, and she loses control of her car when being “escorted”....I am SURE YOU and YOUR attorney suing everybody and everything would NEVER EVER call the officer negligent for letting her drive........
SHeese. Somebody put something in the water today. It is either that or somebody passed out stupid pills at the barbecue thinking they were candy.
Most women would rather believe they were stopped because of their beauty rather than their ineptness behind the wheel.
Also, most women would rather believe the reason they got the ticket is because they took that 2 second stare down after the excuse making is over as a “proposition”.....
KEEERIST...
