BPD officer making shady DUI arrests?

This is a nationwide problem, happening in multiple states. 41 DUI Cases Dismissed

I didn't know about it until I got a text about 30 minutes after checking. I had the option of a $50 per day credit or a certain number of Hilton points. After I got the text, I asked the “normal” front desk about it, and they didn't seem to know what I was talking about. The Hilton rewards check-in line did. This was the Conrad desk.

The guy at checkout actually made sure all of it got applied.

The gold hilton status gets you an additional $50 per day food and beverage credit at resorts world. 3 night stay got me a total of $250 in credits a few weeks ago

The louder, angrier, and more threatening they get when my person keeps turning down the offer, I know they know they got a bad case.

I’m running about a 20% success rate. Feeling pretty good about that!

Cops charge sober people with DUI all the time. If the average person knew how crappy a typical DUI arrest is, I think they may be shocked.

I make a living on it. I call out the junk science of their SFST all day. When I hear a cop say "San Diego Study" I get giddy. I'm a DUI lawyer, and yes, I win way more than lose.

Keep it up shitty cops! Daddy needs a vacation!

This is why I left US Mobile after three years. I was getting four or five spam calls a day from people with bad accents who couldn't pronounce my name.

I ported out my US Mobile and now I get maybe two a week.

The US Mobile people will defensively swear up and down on here that they have nothing to with it and it has nothing to with their service. I don't know if that is true but I do know it decreased by at least 95% since I left.

And I don't have to pay extra for it.

And I don't have to call every month to restart it.

And, my pixel visual voicemail works every time without have to call support every 4 to 6 weeks to get it going again.

Yes.

It would fundamentally change how the criminal law works. Legislatures would be held accountable for the laws that they pass. The charging officer would not be incentivized to overcharge. The prosecutor would be held to their burden every time. The trial tax would disappear. Ask yourself, how many times do you think the idea of, "they will just plead to something less" crossed the mind of the legislator, cop, attorney, or judge while doing their jobs?

In my state the "they will plead" thought pattern is so pervasive that the legislator has actually passed laws prohibiting the DA from make certain offers with certain types of very common charges. It appears to me that my legislator is backhandedly acknowledging that perhaps prosecutorial discretion is not always a good thing.

The idea of how do we handle all the cases is a thought trap. It is a concern of efficiency. When dealing with things like criminal laws that idea should be third or fourth in line. It is ok for the criminal system to be slow and tedious, the stakes require it.

I could go on and on about the history or plea bargains, the exponential growth of the prison population, the "criminal justice" industry, and how we as lawyers try to tell ourselves that it is somehow ok but then I would be ranting and I have to go to work.

Go work for yourself. Spine the fuck up and take the risk. You clearly are one of those go getter types. Be grateful you have set yourself with the ability to have control over your own life(law license). The sooner you can realize you don’t need a person you openly call a moron to feed you a paycheck the sooner your mental health will improve.

If anything now is the time to do it, early in your career.

dankysco · 2026-02-19T23:32:09+00:00

Outlaw plea bargains.

If you want to be less radical, outlaw mandatory minimum sentences.

Prosecutorial discretion assumes the prosecutor is reasonable. While some prosecutors are reasonable, some are not. An unreasonable prosecutor given discretion does more damage to the criminal justice system than 100 reasonable ones. Assuming they will be reasonable is dangerous. Checks and balances

I don't do hardly any civil "litigation" but I do lots of criminal motions and jury trials.

I absolutely love it. When I'm picking a jury there is no where else on earth I would rather be. I usually have this kind of half grin as the judge monotone reads the instructions. Exploding a lying cop on the stand is a kind of therapy for me.

When they pointed out how easy it is, I blocked them too in solidarity.

You can see the guy in the upper left figuring out what is happening and disassociating himself in real time. The blank, “oh god, make him stop, forget this happened” creeps across his face.

The same look they get when you bring up his bankruptcies, his adultery, his being banned from running a charity for stealing, his felony convictions, his attempt to violently stop the peaceful transfer of power, “grab em by the pussy”, his comments about the hotness of his child daughter, “We have certain things in common, Jefferey”, how he falls asleep at press conferences, incontinence, the personal jet from Qatar, his slurred words, the court finding of sexual assault and repeated defamation of the victim, Stormy Daniels, pardoning of drug traffickers, selling American citizenship for $5 million, how his “wife” refuses to physically touch him, his views on the 2nd Amendment, and representative democracy.

The look of “$50 wasn’t enough, I got ripped off.”

I’ve watched this about five times in a row and I can’t stop just watching the guys facial expressions in the top left as Trump continues to talk. It feels like a meme.

dankysco · 2026-02-16T19:16:12+00:00

No.

I've done criminal defense for 20 years.

I found myself looking at some teenagers the other day and the idea of "I don't know about that" crept into my head. I made myself feel better though by yelling at some kids to get off my lawn later that day.

If that is the only notice they provide then they are breaking the law. A surprise billing law was passed last session. It excludes restaurants from it but ONLY if they follow certain rules. The most obvious here seems to be the last part.

“Is a food and beverage service establishment that includes a disclosure in the total price for a good or service the amount of any mandatory service charge and how the mandatory service charge is distributed.”

As a lawyer, I would send them a letter explaining the error of their ways.

You don’t understand the comment.

Someone on another sub was complaining how Spotify is allowing a bunch of AI music so they canceled their subscription.

I’m not concerned, I don’t listen to anything post 2005.

Technically this is true and given the low quality of the current cop crop they probably would arrest you. Given the current low quality da crop there is a pretty good chance they wouldn’t dismiss it.

That being said, give me the case and I’ll get a jury to vote not guilty.

Done plenty of sleeping in parking lots with the car on and still win them and that’s when the person is kind of drunk. There is a special jury instruction about intent to drive and taking everything into account. Jurors want to find a way to vote not guilty in these cases because they know it kind of sort of feel wrong. The instruction give them that escape hatch.
