A Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Deputy rolls through a stop sign and causes a violent crash. So why was the victim placed under arrest?
A FOX6 Investigation finds that a deputy’s changing story may have changed one woman’s life forever.
Tanya Weyker was hurt so badly, she couldn’t blow into a breath-testing device or perform field sobriety tests. But a Sheriff’s deputy arrested her for drunk driving anyway. And the County hung those charges over her head for nearly a year, even long after blood tests proved she was perfectly sober.

Got that right.
What is so hard to understand here? A mere citizen got in the way of a member of the ruling class performing their official duties. If that isn’t obstruction, then what is? < /sarcasm >
75% of the cops make the others look bad.
So, a drunk cop get in an accident and blows into the breathalyzer to implicate a sober citizen.
Never happen in the US...right?
Forget the minimum. All involved should lose jobs pensions and be put on trial. Won’t happen, though.
Just the 95% of cops making the 5% of good cops look bad.
He’s on record he messed up, and then he tries to pin it on her. She’s going to be good-looking and rich now.
All involved should face a firing squad or rope. They won’t even face a trial, or lose a few days pay.
Of course they can also protect the cop.A cop shots someone at the side of the road who's shown to be going for his gun = justifiable homicide rather than "summary execution" as some family member (or prosecutor) might otherwise claim.
Also,breathalyzer tests should,at best,only be used to temporarily hold someone.A blood test,done in a certified blood lab,is the only reliable measure of one's blood alcohol level.They should be made available,quickly available,to any detainee upon request.
Cops protect their own.
I have many family members who are policemen and women, and they all say the first rules is to protect their own. I have one good friend who was a state trooper, and got kicked out. Why? He arrested another cop for drunk driving.
Frankly, this affirmative action police officer never suspected there was a video camera somewhere that would refute the first of his lies. Further, the abetting and criminally complicit ‘officers’ who charged this woman with a crime to cover up the negligence of their brother officer are equally to blame.
Even after months and MONTHS of intimidation and blustering threats in the face of conclusive blood tests that revealed no alcohol or drug influence on her part they still persisted!
One of you badge lickers out there please tell me how you’re gonna explain this criminal behavior on the part of LEs in general, and why in the hell should any of us trust or respect them - any of them. That ENTIRE police department AND DA office should be in prison. All of them.
The Democrat-Union Machine will always go to the Nth. Degree to cover for its own.
I don't drink...never have...and have never been stopped for drunk driving.But I do have diabetes and two bad hips.My diabetes causes me to sometimes become drowsy,particularly after lunch or supper.And my bad hips would make certain maneuvers of a sobriety test very difficult.If,by chance,these thing s ever result in my being charged with OUI the first think I'll do is yell "I want a blood test,take me to the nearest hospital".
What's that saying, the cops are not your friends? I knew that very well, having worked with police. Many have a mindset of being above ordinary "civilians". A long while ago, My wife and I were on our way to dropping our toddler off at grandma's house. A couple blocks from our destination, I completely stopped at a stop sign, then proceeded. At grandma's, a cop cop comes roaring up the street alongside us and two cops jump out. They started yelling at me that I ran a stop sign two blocks away and looked like they were out for blood.
I told my wife to take our toddler daughter into grandma's house so I could deal with these rookies. Then I got into their face, that I stopped completely and they were a couple of troublemakers. Also, that I was on my way to a meeting with police captains and upper brass at the Hall of Justice (true), and started naming names. I had their star numbers (badges) and they could deal with what comes next if they delayed me. They turned redfaced and left in a hurry.
That deputy could be the poster boy for JBT. Ugly man!
There was a lawyer in Dallas many years ago that got a lot of people off on DUI charges by simply pointing out that the blood alcohol level WHEN the test was given was much higher than when the citizen was arrested. In other words, he was legally impaired an hour later when they administered the test, but that doesn’t prove he was impaired when he was driving.
With that said, cops are all on power trips and are out of control. Cameras are all over the place to protect the powerful. Who controls them? Who has access to the video footage? Nixon’s secretary became a contortionist and “accidentally” erased 16 minutes of tape and was the beginning of the end for the less powerful.
