Dirty_habiT Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just wow. I think it's very unfair that he won't get the same type of treatment ANYONE else would have gotten in that situation. They'd be hospitalized with an expensive ambulance bill, then jailed for DUI, license revoked, car impounded, court dates, rehab classes, and the whole nine yards. I know you @Fist 666are not a fan of law enforcement but I promise they're not all bad people. It only takes a few bad apples. This is definitely, without a doubt, one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 @Dirty_habiTto me this one is more, this is a bad apple in a shitty tree. I know that there are cops with good intentions, even cops that have solid trust and rapport within the communities they (try to) protect and serve. Those might even be the majority of individual police officers--the system which they work within is absolutely garbage. At some point, there is no "change the system from within" mentality that isn't insanity, I don't know how many years on the force it takes for someone to go from good-intentioned to power hungry pig, but they are protected no matter what they do, so I stand by the thread title.

Dirty_habiT Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Damn dude, that's straight garbage (in reference to the choking death of the street preacher and the speeding w/ inmates in construction zone). 😕 I think you do have a good point about even if you're a "good cop" the corruption in some departments eventually prevents you from being promoted or rewarded for always trying to do the correct moral thing.

I just wish they'd extend that same "no harm done" policy towards the public. To hell with all of that. If this were absolutely anyone else, and not a cop, they would be in jail. He was 5 times the legal limit of .08, which is .4... At .4, you’re toying with alcohol poisoning related death. When you pass double the legal limit, .16, you can be charged with aggravated DUIs in some states, which comes with much harsher penalties. Falling asleep in your car drunk is absolutely a arrest-able offense in many states, including Colorado. If the car can be driven, and you are in it, they will use intent, forget admitting you had already been driving like this guy did.. It happens to every other John and Jane in America, it should have happened to him. edit: the next drunk person they find sleeping in their car won’t be as fortunate as this cop, i’d bet my next paycheck on it. double edit: not saying i don’t agree that people shouldn’t be able to sleep it off safely, but that’s not the real world, anymore.

Fist 666 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 @MercerIf the police are only going to be held to the same standards as civilians, then they have no business policing. Of course he is just human, but he swore his oath to uphold the laws, civvies didn't swear on any of it. They must be held to a higher standard if they are the ones enforcing the rules. I'm sure LE offices are a lot like military posts chock full of "if you need help with your alcohol...." posters and support groups. Clearly this dude has a problem, he didn't seek help, and as far as the evidence shows he didn't do anything to address his alcoholism--now he is being protected by the system of IA privacy and will likely wind up back on the streets policing people that don't have the support networks he had access to. That might be another can of worms--police firing and moving between departments is almost like the Catholic church moving pederasts around to protect them. The higher standards piece especially applies to remaining calm in an escalated situation and not popping off on a lady holding a nintendo controller, but I digress...

Mercer Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 @Fist 666I hear you, but simply saying they should be "held to higher standards", and actually holding them to higher standards are 2 separate things. This all circles back to the fact they are all flawed human beings, and instead of relying on a system that ignores this fact in pursuit of some ideal situation, the system should be set up to account for this reality. The biggest hurdle to holding them accountable is amount of training invested in an individual LE officer. It can vary based on jurisdiction, and the time they've been on the force, but in many cases the dollar cost for training can exceed 6 figures within the first few years, and can take years to get through. This amount of investment is the reason why the people administrating LE departments can rarely afford to fire one outside of their first year or two. This is why it's worth it for them to swallow a $250,000 law suit here and there, rather than just fire an officer. They're just not that easily, or even possible to replace in most cases. Granted there are also the legal costs of the officer suing if they're fired, and police Unions involved when you try to fire one, but the main reason they're not easily disposed of, and often times end up on other departments is this massive investment into the individual LE officers. I've already given my opinions on how the force should be privatized, I'd like to just pay a small fee for insurance as opposed to taxes, and have a local security/insurance force of my choosing at my disposal should the need arise. Since a private company wouldn't be granted an automatic monopoly, their services would be superior. Likewise since there wouldn't be this assumed "higher accountability" because they're just citizens like everyone else, the accountability would be built in, just like it is for all non LE officers/citizens out there doing their thing. Snapping your fingers and saying cops should be perfect doesn't work, and is meaningless. It's the same reality we face when politicians tell us we're declaring all health "a right". The number of doctors, nurses, and hospital beds doesn't automatically increase at the snap of a finger to increase the amount of health care that can be administered. What happens is the quality of care has to be lowered to meet increased demand, and wait times for procedures have to be increased. I mean technically if it's a "right" we would need to enslave healthcare workers to 16 hour shifts meet the demand, otherwise by taking time off they're violating someone's rights. These utopian pursuits that ignore reality, like refusing to factoring in LE will always be comprised by flawed human beings is a dead end, and does nothing to defeat the problem. If we pretend we're shocked when it's revealed they're flawed human beings, and fire officers for inconsequential actions we'll have a shortage. To account for this we could increase wages to meet the demand, but the fact is most people aren't cut out for this work, and those wages would need to be ridiculously high to entice more people into this line of work, thus driving up taxes, and wages in the competitive job markets this would draw from. Most officers are already paid well above average to account for this higher standard. Again, this situation makes me question the logic of arresting anyone for getting drunk, and passing out in their car. To me, this is a no brainer, of course they shouldn't be arrested, and it would be up to their work whether or not it's worth it to fire them, and make arrangements to hire/train someone else. I can't believe I'm defending a cop not getting fucked over in an A.C.A.B. thread I started, but it makes sense considering I hold logical consistency in such high regards.

abrasivesaint Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) He didn't just fall asleep in the parking lot he left the car in though, he drove, and then passed out. He flat out committed a crime and admitted to it. He could have easily crashed the car and injured or killed someone. If he walked out of a bar and passed out in the parking lot we might be able to talk. Again, this situation would never happen if it were not a cop, not in today’s society. Back in the day i’ve heard numerous stories of this taking place. Cops giving rides, leaving cars on the side of the road, telling them to sleep it off.. it doesn’t happen anymore. Maybe in small town Nebraska, but on the grand scale, no way. Edited February 8, 2020 by abrasivesaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrasivesaint Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) For anyone that’s not a cop.. “The penalties for a DUI in Colorado depend on how many drunk driving convictions the accused has and their level of alcohol. A DUI is a misdemeanor offense. A conviction for a first-time DUI can include: -From 5 days up to 1 year in jail, -A fine of up to $1,000, -Revocation of your license for 9-months, -Community service for up to 96 hours, and -Alcohol education classes. A driver with a BAC of 0.08% or higher can face a DUI per se charge. However, even with a lower BAC or no chemical test results, a driver can face charges for driving while ability impaired (DWAI), based on the observations of police. The penalties for a DWAI conviction are slightly lower than for a DUI, including: -From 2 days up to 180 days in jail, -A fine of up to $500, -8 points against your license, and -Community service for up to 48 hours. Note that each successive DUI conviction will trigger harsher penalties. A second offense DUI in Colorado will entail stiffer penalties than a first offense, and a third offense DUI in Colorado entails still harsher penalties. High Alcohol DUI An individual with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) 0.15% or above will be classified as a “persistent drunk driver.” There are increased penalties for drivers with a high blood alcohol content, including Level II alcohol education classes. Even if the accused has never been arrested before, he or she will be considered a persistent drunk driver with BAC of 0.15% or higher. A high blood alcohol content DUI may require a mandatory ignition interlock device (IID) for at least 2 years to have the driver's license reinstated.” Edited February 8, 2020 by abrasivesaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it's wrong to not charge him, and he should be shot in self defense if he ever attempted to kidnap another motorist for doing the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
