Ok. An in-car police camera recorded this traffic stop of a man apparently suspected of driving under the influence.
The cop is attempting to administer a sobriety test and, we’ll… see for yourself. Whada ya think, would you take this guy in?
Police Tasers Man For Not Signing Ticket
Here is some breaking news. This video was only released yesterday, and it demonstrates a clear and frankly unbelievable abuse of power by a Utah Highway Patrol officer.
Some guy was pulled over for speeding and argued with the police officer a bit about the speed limit. It’s a bit hard to...
Caught on Film – Police Misconduct and Brutality
I’ve seen a ton of videos out there that show officers giving someone the beat down during the commission of a crime, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. The following compilation of videos are, in my opinion examples of police going way beyond the limitations imposed by the laws of the United...
7 Top Police Motorcycle Competitions

Now, that means a trip right to jail… but it still might be better than giving them the evidence they need to convict you down the road.

I wonder why he used the tape instead of the already-drawn parking spot lines? The painted lines are wider, but you can still test people’s ability to walk a straight line with them…
I’m guessing that the use of the roll of tape is itsself part of the sobriety test. I’ll bet people have a hard time bending down at the knees and putting the tape down all the time…
True, as was rather obviously shown here :)
