The cop didn't sign the certificate? Hmm... was he drunk?

[aisaxonawiat]

They are selfish, power-hungry, and entitled and have become much more of a liability than an asset to most communities.

End qualified immunity.

[Dr.M.VincentCurley]

While it being a clear case of procedutory negligence the Judge just went ahead and ignored this shortsight and allowed the proceedings to continue.

Proper and updated training is now a pain in the butt for government employees? Good thing they didn’t join the military

[iamalawyer]

I wish more people would understand that all law is a technicality and due process is always worth defending.

Virginia requires cops who run a Breathalyzer to have special training and certifications. That makes it especially obnoxious when they screw up or act reckless, noting that cop literacy and responsibility levels result in around half of police records having some form of errors. Maybe people at that level of performance shouldn't be trusted with badges or guns?

OTOH, I'd favor treating drunk driving as a form of felony assault with a lethal weapon, and not a socially normalized common pathology. That opens a slippery slope however, when some drivers slightly drunk based on BAC are better drivers than others while sober, or when tiredness, stress, distractions from kids or personal issues, etc, can all impair driving in ways a legal system with equal protections and Proportionality tests for Due Process cannot functionally evaluate rationally.

I just hate it when criminally negligent drunk drivers get off because of a technicality. Lucky you, you probably are going to get repeat business from this diuchebag.

Joe shouldn't have given a breath test to begin with

Andrew was sharp to pick up on this legal defect, but misrepresents a key claim of this video. A small PD in VA would be either a rural county, or a non-independent town operating within a county and using that county's Sheriff's Office to process cases.

They would have between zero and five officers trained and certified to operate a Breathalyzer, not the entire department. The "small hamlet in VA" depiction implies most likely only one to three guys likely were on call to hop out of bed and show up when the arresting officer hauled in the subject between 2300 and midnight a year ago.

Maybe Joe should’ve not been drinking and driving in the first place? Good job getting him off on a technicality, he won’t do that again and kill somebody. Good lawyer, bad Joe.

[michman]

....unfortunately for Joe, he didn't get the help he needed. You can send flowers.

[elgringoec]

Getting off on a technicality... He still could have been a danger to the community though. I'm not a fan of charging people with DUI if they've done nothing wrong. Instead I'd make the penalty harsh if they screwed up. Like someone who kills anyone with their mistake would never be allowed to drive again.

The timing of these checkpoints can be quite questionable. Once I encountered one on my way to church with my family mid Sunday morning! That's gonna be a low hit rate. But they were exercising their authority. I told them they'd likely catch a lot more drunks if they set up right after "last call" and between a bar and people's homes, not in rural areas close to churches and far from bars. Then they told be they were looking for unlicensed drivers. 😂 Okay, on their way to church, sure.

[philipgalbraith]

I am glad Joe had the money to afford a defense.
Because that is all this well intended video teaches us.
Justice is for those who can afford it

[Sartre_Existentialist]

Joe should be more responsible and try valuing his family and providing for them over drinking and driving. Its ok, he will 100% do it again

[Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjahnee]

That’s great background, but are you gonna tell us the disposition of the case? Did your drunk client get off? Or is this video just to show how smart you are how lucky you were and you’re just trying to get publicity for your firm?

[sushipop]

1 mistake and now it's ok to keep a drunk on the streets. That's great.

[nikto-kykx]

I dont drink and I still enjoyed the video as always.

[brucemartini]

do ADS abuse the 2nd amendment right, by trying to tell us What to do??( "log on NOW/go here/ dont miss it/ call TODAY/ call your Dr.")
I feel they DO.
