Imagine being able to refuse a breath test without getting the shit beat out of you
Immediate mandatory year without driving privileges in most states.
Sort of an important aspect of doing patrol. I wanna know why they didn’t get a warrant for a blood draw. That’s the typical response to refusing a breath test.
Because the FOP was the first entity to know he DUI'ed over a toddler. They could then control what happened to the cop
This is the answer. And it's why the system is producing radicals.
I still remember this time the mayor of this town was drunk driving, and they decided to go ahead and arrest him for it. They were able to get the charges to stick thanks to the bodycam footage.
I was shocked and appalled at his entitlment. I expected him to expect to be left off the hook, but the way he was acting. No whining, begging, or pleading. He just stood firm and calm as he reprimanded the police and demanded they get the chief immediately...
He really came off as though he genuinely believed the cops were the ones breaking the rules and getting in trouble for arresting him, or even stopping him, not himself...
For the rich and privileged it's a whole different ball game.
He wasn't a cop: mayors take notice.
They don't Isuzu beat you anymore, but lots of states have a law that part of having a driver's license is consent to a breath test, so if you refuse they revoke your license.
Either have to be rich or a bootlicker. Presumably some people can be both.
friendly fire is generally frowned upon
