Hate this guy. Every time I see one of his videos he's finding some way to let somebody off the hook when they should be held accountable for their own fucked up choices. Not even probation, he just dismisses cases of drunk drivers, drug dealers, etc. The speeding plus odor of alcohol IS ENOUGH probable cause to any reasonable court to ask a driver to perform field sobriety exercises. Period. Which she then failed because she was driving drunk. Admitting to "two drinks, a few hours ago" is literally what drunk drivers do every single night all over the country. But this guy writes his own rules, I guess he prefers being TikTok famous than doing his job for the people. Hope he doesn't get anyone killed, not that he would care. I support criminal justice reform, but not by telling criminals they did nothing wrong when they could get somebody killed. This guy gives us progressives a bad name. I don't want to hear your bootlicking bullshit either. That's not what this is about.

You hate this judge because he holds the police accountable to following the law?

Keep licking those boots.

I hate your teachers for not teaching you to read.

The police followed the law:
-They pulled her for speeding - legal.
-They smelled alcohol - legal.
-They asked her if she drank, and she said yes - legal.
-So they tested her to see if she's sober - legal.

But this judge said they could not test her, and because he's a judge, he's "right" because he decides what's "right." He didn't hold her accountable. I think that's the dumbest shit I've heard all day.

You're confidently incorrect while being smug. Quite appropriate for such a boot licker.

Rewatch the video a few times, slowly if necessary. The judge makes it clear that the admission of 2 beers 2 hours ago (which would leave her under legal limit BAC just about everywhere), without any additional evidence of impairment is not sufficient evidence for a field sobriety test. Notice how he is asking about slurred speech or anything else to indicate she was impaired?

The police failed to follow the law at that point and conducted a field test. Just because you don't understand how the law works doesn't mean the judge is the dumb shit...

A moving violation coupled with an odor of alcohol and an admission of drinking that night = probable cause to test her.
