Wonder how long it will take for the boot lickers to show up here and tell us all how the cop was completely justified....
Probably not long.
swallowing drugs happens all the time and is usually the first place you look. it's evidence tampering and it's a felony in most places.
so go ahead and tell me that a little pot is no big deal. hindsight is 20/20. policing isn't pretty sometimes.

Officer smelled drugs. There were drugs and it is common for drug runners to try to swallow drugs to hide evidence and to resist arrest. I’d like to see the rest of this officers record before I side with those ready to bash cops so readily. I’ll give you 10 to 1 odds the judge in this case takes drugs regularly. The fact that a judge rules one way or the other, these days, doesn’t mean much. For a judge to issue a blanket statement that the cop is unwelcome in his courtroom in the future is, in itself, suspect behavior from a judge who should form an opinion on the case before him. It appears to me that the Judge is reacting in an unfair and arbitrary manner. I’ll back the cop for now until I see his entire record that might give us more insight into his character and performance. I question the character of both the punk and the judge.
lol you beat me to it, the ‘LEO IS NEVER WRONG’ crowd should be along soon.
It should scare the devil out of other freepers to contemplate that even members of this forum support the actions of this officer, or other similar cases.
In our last nursing class, we where taught that: when assessing the jugular veins, never depress both sides at once. To do so may cut off blood supply to the brain. From the video, it appears that the cop knew this person was in distress. Maybe he thought if he lost just enough consciousness, then the drugs would fall out of his mouth.
