I'm happy the cop did the right thing.
for some reason America goes so easy on drunk drivers.
of all the crimes to go easy on, that's the one the US goes light on.

what are you talking about we don't go light on DD at all. maybe in the past we did but for the last several years at least they've been really cracking down and making the penalties much worse.
what we go light on is murdering and raping people, at least in comparison to how hard we are on pot users

Had it not been for cop(s) at the border station, my ass would be sittin' in a prison cell for well over a year. I feel so fortunate to have met a cop who did not hesitate to make the most beneficent decision I've ever witnessed by authority. Good cops make police bearable. Bad cops make police a dangerously rogue nuisance.

the guy was off duty. would you want to be fired from your job if you got a dui? I think the guy probably deserves the same treatment.
the fact is hes a cop , and that job comes with certain expectations-namely you will be whiter than white and not break any laws... Penalties for cops who break the law should be more harsh than for regular citizens, not equal.
That mayor dissing the cop who arrested him saying"it was 5am, it could have been covered up easily"
Oh well thats ok then... im gonna go out and start raping women and buggering little boys-as long as it will be easy to cover up...

ok so let me get his str8: the MAYOR of this town says that it "could have been easliy covered up", the seargent arrested ONE OF HIS OWN while the guy was OFF DUTY and put him into more trouble. and a rookie at that, obviously feelin a little high on all that power.
to me a good cop would have pulled that guy to the side and talked to him personaly and made sure that that type of thing never happened again. i mean DAMN hes your sarge, and he just busted you driving drunk, what more embarrasment does one want other than that? thank god he caught him b4 anything crazy happened, but the sarge could have handled that a whole lot better than he did.
sorry, still have a hard time with the cops "doing the right thing". they do too much crap on a regular basis, to think otherwise, and im talking about personal and witnessed experience.
when your in charge or part of a system that is made to regulate human behavior but obviously that system is flawed then you, as a part of that system, need to find the grey areas in situatioins that you come upon. now not everyone or every situation is the same and most cops use " the system" to hide the truth when they screw up. so needless to say a bad system is gonna produce bad outcomes, so as long as the sytem is flawed, the mentality "the system" theorizes a cop should have to do his/her job is going to be flawed.
BAD SYSTEM = BAD OUT COMES = BAD COPS
JUST SYSTEM = ROOM FOR COMMON SENSE = BETTER POLICING

My whole year (2007) was just spent recovering from dui I earned after consuming 4 beers in a 5 hour period, LAST new years, 12:01 am! I was a far stretch from 'intoxicated' however, all said and done it cost me a career and $22,100 PER BEER.
So NO. We dont go easy on DUIs, even when we're not UI!
IMO there are two people here who deserve props. 1.) The arresting officer, who took responsibility in an unbiased fashion. (VERY rare, as you all know)
and 2.) Nite Tiger for recognizing the need to respect the few officers who are actually in uniform to serve and protect.
As much as I dislike the bad cops in the world, is as much as I care for the good ones!

You took that quote out of context Harry. The mayor was not dissing the arresting officer, he was commending him. It was 5am, it was something that could have easily been covered up, but instead the sergeant did what was needed.
FriendinDeed - I must admit, I'm absolutely shocked at your response. You actually would want one cop to give another preferential treatment? Wow...
The_Leader - Um, that story IS from a TV station. Also, paid leave - called innocent until proven guilty. Wouldn't look to good for cops to show a different attitude

Oh no Leader, don't misunderstand me, I know how it works for the rest of us. I was just commenting that in a situation like this, they were kinda forced into ACTING like they still followed the guilty til proven innocent.
Sorry, I was about half asleep when I responded, I wasn't very clear at all.

MIAMI - For stealing marijuana and cash from a motorist during a traffic stop, former Miami-Dade police officer Jesus Rodolfo Hernandez must spend 30 days in jail and give up his law-enforcement credentials.
Hernandez, 24, pleaded guilty Thursday in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. He was arrested in April after a sting orchestrated by detectives from his own department.
He pulled over a confidential informant at Northwest 173rd Street and 47th Avenue, arresting the man for a traffic violation and stealing $575 in cash and the drugs from his pocket, police said.
The disgraced cop pleaded guilty to grand theft, possession of marijuana and tampering with evidence. He will also spend two years on probation and must pay back the nearly $25,000 it cost to investigate and prosecute the case.
``Removing a crooked cop from our streets always provides a tremendous sense of relief and vindication for the prosecutors and police who thoroughly work the case,'' said Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. ``However, the betrayal of the officer's department and of the people of this community can never be overlooked nor easily forgiven.''
Hernandez, hired in 2005, had a short tenure marked by questionable decisions.
In February 2008, he shot and gravely wounded west Miami-Dade electronics store owner Jose Rodriguez during a burglary call to the business.
Rodriguez has since filed a negligence suit against the county, saying Hernandez wrongfully shot him. A trial is pending.
``The county had the officer under investigation and they didn't do anything to protect the public from him,'' said Ervin A. Gonzalez, Rodriguez's attorney. ``Bottom line: He shouldn't have been on the street.''
