Astonishing bodycam footage has captured the moment an Oklahoma police chief begs officers to turn their camera off as he tries to wriggle out of a DUI arrest.
Captain James French, 55, repeatedly asks the arresting officer to 'please talk to me' and whispers to turn his camera off, before later revealing he had been at a poker game and consumed around three or four beers.

Back the Blue.
Until they smash into you.
You cruise
You lose

The unwritten rule for off duty LEOs is to never proclaim your status or ask for a favor. They will hook you up every time and well deserved.
No, you just inadvertently flash your wallet badge as you are digging out your drivers license and hope for the best.

That’s what amazes me. Celebrities, professional athletes, police captains, etc. all make a lot of money. Yet they risk everything to drive drunk.
It’s arrogance, I guess.
Isolated incident.
I was thinking the same thing. 32oz drafts?
It’s the 99% of bad cops that give the 1% a bad name.

LEO; “Sir, do you know how fast you were going?”
SPEEDER; “I think I was going 60”
LEO; “The posted speed limit is 55”
LEO then proceeds to write the citation, annotating the conversation on the back of his copy of the citation, which is admissible evidence.
Guilty.
Happened to a buddy...
Have you been drinking tonight?
I had two beers while waiting for my to go order.
DUI
