The cops are becoming revenue generating NAZI's who could care less what the facts are. A shakedown squad with blue lights and a gun. Their credibility is crap in my eyes in Police State America nothing but goons with badges and guns. It's time we rein them in.
Unfortunately that'll never happen. My 17 year old son recently got his drivers and pilots license, and got slapped with a ticket for doing 50 in a 45. I was driving with him after that , and the pig next to us was texting and driving. You could see it clearly, we were in heavy traffic side by side...
Most enforcement officers want to be Dirty Harry. Most citizens want their enforcement officers to be Andy Griffith. But in reality most enforcement officers end up looking like Barny Fiffe. Aunt B is in jail again.
I agree; well said.
While I agree it would have been hard to get a conviction with an initial .07 alcohol blood count, I don't agree the Police didn't have probable cause to stop him. Even if the video didn't show him driving on the wrong side of the road as they stated, it did as the prosecution pointed out show he didn't use turn signals. That gives the Police the probable cause to pull him over.
Not guilty just implies that the prosecution did a lousy job.
