Officers should be required to carry and/or offer breathalyzers to confirm or eliminate intoxication. Even if it had been actual beer, "I smelled something" should not be a basis for arrest.

Cops are rotting garbage.

Sue his punk ass into bankruptcy

This is an example of a cop who acts above the law. These little ordences and other BS have to go. The government is so happy to violate the rights of liberty it is truly shocking. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This cop needs to be educated, and needs to stop harassing people.

Be aware, this exact expression is worn in place of an apology by someone who could just say they are sorry but will instead plot your downfall.

They are taught to fucking lie. They are taught to coerce. Keep filing complaints on their asses enough complaints and they will fuck themselves

It’s all about control and intimidation

His “RAS” was a lie…that was not an honest mistake So…question becomes, what should be done about it?

Court would likely side with the officer that with both smell (though a lie, courts would likely view it as a mistake) and appearance of an alcoholic beverage bottle gave him reasonable suspicion for a short detention. He investigated, found out it was a soda and released the citizen. Under the current interpretation, I'd say courts would find no unreasonable 4a violation.

They are so eager to violate everyone's rights they do no nvestigation

Another lying cop. Earning the hate. The thin Blue line should be tossing this garbage out of the profession not protecting it

Why is it a crime for me or you to lie to a cop ( a policy enforcer) not a law enforcer yet not a crime for them to lie to us Practically speaking, what could be done about that

Piece of shit cop should be fired.

It only takes a few idiot cops to make the whole police force look bad. Yet these few bad apples still face no consequences. They need to be fired.

,

They can say what they want but now you and your lawyer can demand restutution.

Yes, someone can be in arrested. You were never a cop. This cop is as much of an idiot as you

All cops lie, all the time

Fuck the police

If it's legal for the cops to lie to a citizen it should be legal for a citizen to lie to cops.

🤔💭. Look at this douche bag with his douche bag, mustache and his douche bag badge. Motherfuckers don’t know how to do their job. What a stupid douche bag.👮🏻♂️🥊🥊🥊💀💀

These people were harassed as school hall monitors and now it's their turn to do the harassing

He should be fined and the fine should be paid to the wrongly targeted.

most people slur when they have to speak aloud extemporaneously.

Get his bich azz off the force before someone get seriously hurt

Ask when the pigs nose was last calibrated

Damn Got his ass

So now cop thanks every drink is alcohol now. How fucking dumb are cops how do you not know the difference between root beer and beer? A five-year-old kid could tell the difference.

Lawyer up, demand his immunity be stripped & sue this dbag personally for his pension/assets & sue the department too, requiring them to better train their officers! I really do try to support the Blue, but aholes like this guy make it hard.

I’m sure he has no idea he’s a tyrant

hopefully he spends some time on his eyebrows instead of that slick haircut.

Police need to be held accountable when they screw up. Even if all they receive is shame and scorn from fellow LEOs. Something needs to de-incentivize LEO A-holery.
