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.

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?

By your own post, you claim that 100% of LEEO’s abuse the law. Got proof?

One more observation, are you aware that extreme badge lapping can result in tongue spasms?

Let me try to explain the video to you as succinctly as possible, ok?

At approximately the 38 sec. mark (that's just over half a minute with a minute being 60 sec.) the reporter states that they were able to review the audio and video evidence and that same evidence substantiates everything the husband has claimed. As a result of that evidence, the officers were put on leave and the case was turned over to internal affairs.............

Additionally, there is no evidence that the wife failed a field sobriety test, especially the claim by officer Gomer that she had alcohol on her breath, which she didn't as evidenced by the TWO subsequent tests given at the police station............

SHAME ON YOU MACGUIRE FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF A POLICE STATE!

Well, if he did not have probable cause to pull her over, than anything that he did after that is illegal.

You're a cop, right?

Your defense of this guy is waayyy too adamant to be an intelligent response to an incident that could be true.

You're making no effort to see this objectively.

Take a breather and stop calling us the ignoramus you're revealing yourself to be.

You seem to forget that there was no reason for him to ask for a breath test. She was not drinking, she was not impaired so his asking for the test was not appropriate.

And their vehicle was "suspicious" how????

WRONG.

If she takes the FST's and then blows a OO she would be subject to a drugged driving charge.

and you are missing the point...she knew she was innocent of any crime and therefore she exercised her rights.

why do you hate America and freedom?
