Another crooked person associated with the criminal justice industry. We need a limited policing force like we need a limited government.
They do more harm than good. They are a waste of money and ruin so many lives. All we need you to do is respond to 911 calls and that is all we’ll pay for.

Police outright lye, there’s no doubt in my mind.
I’m a local DJ and had a gig at a local Pub.
My brother went with me to the gig he was in his own car.
We split three 60 ounce pictures of beer between us over the 4 hours we were there for the gig.
They ambushed my brother as he left the Pub.
Busted the window in the passenger side of his car and made him drive into the medium of the road and charged him with DUI.
My Brother weights 270 lbs. according to the BAC calculator with 90 ounces of beer over 4 hours his BAC should have only been around .04/ half the legal limit. They said his Bac was .123.
That’s not possible with the amount he had to drink.
I raised hell about this took pictures of the place where they stopped him and everything I could, presented the facts and they blew me off.
One month later the same cops pulled me over in about the same spot on my way home from working all day and charged me with DUI.
The problem with this is that I didn’t have anything to drink at all and they arrested me and said I Blew a .123 BAC. Hmmm the same number as my Brother; this has ruined my life and cost me my job–(my livelihood) Thousand of dollars and any chance of ever having a life.
After seeing the video of how the Hollywood Police rear ended that girl and framed her for DUI, and got caught with there own video among other things, not to mention the State inspector that got fired for showing them how to trick the machine, Please note that they always make the arrest before they take you to the police station to make you blow in the machine
Tells me that
1. They can make the breathalyzer 8000 say anything they want it to with a little hand sanitizer on the finger when they hand you the mouth piece to blow in. And all they have to do if they don’t get the numbers they want is to unplug the machine and start all over.

2. They do this to keep up there performance standards and to acquire overtime pay for going to court and depot’s. Some of them make more in overtime pay than I made on my full time job before they got me fired.

I think they should be prosecuted for armed robbery because that is exactly what it is.

“Yeah, I must have been,” Hoffman testified. “My apologies. It’s been over a year. I deal with a lot of these cases every day so my apologies.”

I wonder if that’s the excuse she gave him when she arrested him for DUI.

I read a newspaper article awhile back about how MD concert attendees were arrested, taken to jail and strip searched because unbeknownst to them, the jazz fest they attended did not have a permit. Cops will do anything to up their arrest stats.

well, i hope this officer can never take the stand again without having this incident of her lying thrown in her face. Making her a useless witness for further cases.

The whole “testilying” thing cops do disgusts me. I hope she gets fired.

I amazes me how the police can just lie and effect people’s lives seemingly without any remorse. Just an arrest on your record can effect your life in significant ways.

wonderful that there was a video. lets hope at the very least the cop is removed from the force for cause and not given a chance to resign.

thanks for this story. I hope the cop gets fired at least but then again I wished for a million dollars to appear at my bedside today too. Sometimes, things are just impossible.

Case law is clear that people in the back seat of a parked vehicle are not driving under the influence.

But what if they are back seat drivers?

“even then, he was not cooperative in the field sobriety tests.”
So? I would never cooperate with a FST either.

I know that if I had gotten a DUI from this biatch, I would be getting my lawyer to work very quickly, showing how this POS cop perjured herself with me also.
