Sober driver who was arrested for DUI wins settlement after filming arrest on his cell phone!

I had to make this video for 2 reasons. 1 is because in the video I originally posted that has over 3 million views has over 8,000 comments, many of which people telling me I have to perform a Field Sobriety Test or result is arrest. This video proves the outcome which many didn't believe. Secondly, this video shows that officer Koby Arnold is still an employed officer of the santa monica police department which was also a question I frequently received.

    You might be right. It's just a bad assumption to make though. In general, law enforcement has a tough job that, I think, is somewhat predicated on most people being mostly cooperative. I think when someone in law enforcement gets into a situation like this, they're suddenly put under a lot of pressure. In this case, the old addage "words matter" really mattered a lot. I think that the police officer also didn't need to talk to that guy the way he did..."where the hell...?"...that sort of thing. As soon as you start to act in an unreasonable way and treat people like they're less than human, you get a different response. If he had worded it more like what you stated and if he had not been so pushy, that situation might have gone a lot better for both parties.

    @It smells like bulshit In here Many reasons. Main reason is that even if you don't think you've done anything wrong, there's always the possibility that you've broken some law you weren't aware of. Plus, if an officer has any suspicion about you, they aren't obligated to tell you what that suspicion is, AND they are allowed to lie to you. You might think you're answering innocent questions ("Do you live around here?" "Where are you heading tonight?" "Where are you coming from?" etc) while the officer is already building a case in their mind. For example, they can say that X location is a high crime/high drug traffic neighborhood and use that to give them "reasonable suspicion" to search your car. There is literally zero upside to speaking to police, and huge potential downsides. And that's just if you think you're innocent! If you're guilty of something, let them build their case without your help.

    1) the officer is doing what he is trained to do. Its the mayor and the police chief that you should get mad at, not the underlings. I promise you that random field sobriety tests in the evenings are pushed by the department, and many counties even setup blockades for these illegal tests, with the mayor and police chief's blessing. You wouldn't fire an employee that was doing something idiotic that you told them to do, right? And the customer shouldn't get mad at say a cashier that is doing what you setup as policy for your small business. 2) Unionization of public sector employees should be illegal, and that's the main reason officers feel no repercussions for their actions, as if anything they often get a paid vacation out of serious infractions. And ironically, people think its right winger fascism to blame, but the mayors and police chiefs are almost always Democrats and unions are promoted by the left as well, and very much opposed by the right ideologically. Replace the bad mayors and police chiefs, and abolish public sector unions, and you won't have this problem.

He didn't answer my question and again demanded my ID. I asked the question 2 more time and after the 3rd time told him " If you don't answer my question, I'm walking away because I don't have to identify myself to you without just cause .

    The problem arises when police want to take things personally and become vindictive. That amounts to abuse of their authority. And the lack of proportionality in this case is ridiculous - all over an alleged wrongful right turn, for heaven’s sake.

    I'm not sure how states to states works with DUI check point. I am from California and i am glad that there are check point in our states, because we have a lot of reckless drivers and drunk drivers over where I am at and I do understand why the officer did what he did but lying isn't one of them that I like. All of these could have been avoided if they dude would just do it real fast and go on about his business. I do however disagree with what the judge did, DUI check point are there to keep drunk driver from being on the street, and everyone should go through that and I have lots of time, but not once I ever was asked to get out of my vehicle and do these tests because simply I was awake, officer had no reasons to do anything. I am glad that citizen knows their rights and laws, but I wish judge knows their laws too.

I've known armed security guards that work on state line where to avoid police folks just cross into the next state who have talked down drunks, prostitutes, bikers, and generally crazy folks with a joint lock in the worst cases and a spare cigarette in the best. That's community policing; caring enough about the people you're paid to protect to actually protect and communicate with them, and not exerting authority at every turn.

Someone who’s drunk slurs their words, someone who’s drunk has a hard time walking in a straight line, you can smell alcohol in their breath these are just a few methods that this dumbass officer didn’t think to use. If the officer had stayed cool and father deescalated the situation ACTUALLY do his job, maybe after using 1 or two of these tests and he was STILL unsure than arresting him and taking him to the station would have made some sense. Hell of the idiot had just calmly taken the man to jail like he requested... well maybe he’s not an idiot since he didn’t have to pay the lawsuit, the taxpayers did, and the force decided to allow him to keep his job. After all that who’s the real idiot in the end.

    @@prime201 How can a person prove they are guilty by doing the test and following orders? There is a reason why the cop pulled over the driver in the first place and it was for making that illegal right lane turn, and because of that the cop would need to perform some tests on the driver. The drivers voice seemed a bit slow, and people who get drunk can have the same effect. It was just a misinterpretation by the cop. It's not always alcohol where a test is performed but some drugs can cause the sames affects too. But if no test can be taken because the driver kept on refusing then how can the officer really be sure that the guy is safe enough to drive when that idiot made that illegal right lane change? If the driver just cooperated then that would have saved him time, the cops time, and wouldn't have caused tax payers to pay the lawsuit. aMeRiCaNs are disobedient and undisciplined in general, because they will make an excuse for everything even if they are wrong. Cooperating and complying will get you out of situations more effectively but none of you want to do that.

    It happened to me! Worse, the Santa Barbara County Public Defender K. C. Williamson entered a no-contest plea without fully explaining his intentions. After I accepted a plea offer on an unrelated case did the Driving While Intoxicated "Alcohol" charge become hidden within the other. Twelve pages into the court's transcript of the change of plea hearing, the Judge accepts my plea finds a factual basis for accepting my plea and sentences me to what was agreed, he then, without hesitation, continues with the hearing by saying, "Okay, now we have "THE MISDEAMNOR CASE, MR. WILLIAMSON?" "YOUR HONOR, WE ENTER A PLEA OF NO CONTEST." The following year, I learned my license was revoked. that the misdemeanor was the alcohol DUI that I blew 0.00 and there was no trace of alcohol in my system. Eventually, I received an email from the head of the Public Defender's Office, which read in part, an error had been made, but not that I wasn't guilty under that statute charged in the case, rather the language used in my conviction was wrong.. My blood tested presumptive for Xanax, and it didn't matter that I had a prescription, and it didn't matter that the last time I took any was over 24 hours, nor did it matter that my impaired driving was the fact I pulled out of a well-lit shopping center failing to switch the car's headlights on for a good 5 seconds! His recommendation was for me to ask the public defender's office to return to the court and enter a correction. Unbelievably, when I called the SB Public Defender's Office, I was told by the new department she would not help me and I could retain a private attorney. That was three years ago. I drive without a license, the PD went on to lose his license to practice law in CA for not paying his CA State Bar Dues. Seriously! I swear, I could kill the fucking bastard!

He cannot morally and legally let you drive away, and because dwi is a criminal offense, he also cannot let you walk away.
