No need to wonder, the video showed you. Drunk chief gets driven home by sober chief, and they have "a long talk" on the way home. Without cameras, drunk chief likely gets to "sleep it off", or just gets a ride home from the first officer. If anything, this shows why plenty of cops were resistant to body cams. When they can just say "nothing happened", and that is the end of it, that is one thing. When they have to actually delete evidence, that is another. Body cams are a god-send to honest cops, as they document everything, but they are the enemy of cops that do not want everything documented. A cop that does not want everything documented, automatically deserves everything they have done looked into.

The Sgt. asked: "Is it all on the dash cam?...This is a tough day and age...all these electronic things, and technology." Had the other cop said no, (not recorded on the dash cam) and no evidence from the body cams I am sure the Sgt. would've let the chief off the hook without having the other corrupt chief of police intervene. They want other people to obey the laws, but the same laws don't apply to them. This is why I have zero respect for most cops.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON HIM! I just read that he quietly retired in January and still received his pension. I think the only reason he retired early was because the media didn't let up on him not being arrested and that another district's police chief drove him home knowing he was "hammered drunk". Glad he is off the force. I wonder how he sleeps at night knowing he did this after he and his deputies put so many others in jail for the exact same thing. Sweet dreams retired police chief Hall.

A few years ago I was 20; got pulled over after drinking 2 beers 2 minutes from my house for failing to use my turning signal. I was honest with the officer when he told me I smelled of beer, I passed all the sobriety tests, blew under the legal limit, but was underage. I went to jail, car impounded, lost my first full time job, had to go to DWI classes, AA meetings, tons of $$$$ down the drain. This guy was tanked and got a ride home. I deserved what I got, and learned a valuable lesson. However, this selfish chief should have to deal with the repercussions just like anyone else who decides to drive impaired.

I’m also a big believer in discernment and I’ve definitely been given chances in the past. I understand people drive after drinking, everybody has done it. We didn’t have Uber in my formative partying years. Problem is, some of these Uber rides are $20, and that’s 5 drinks. A lot of money to poor college kids that just wanna have fun. I live in a town where to DWI busts are so popular that at least a dozen police cars do circles like sharks around the square for 4 hours straight around closing time. When I was younger I had a self destructive relationship end, drove through the square pulled over drunk, and the officer let me go with a worming. I’ll never forget it. I don’t know if I agree with it, but I was grateful nonetheless. I immediately parked and told my friends we had to walk a few miles to the party, I came to my senses and didn’t want to press my luck. Anyway I have some empathy because of that!

It has nothing to do with keeping the public safe. They are mobile IRS units taxing the local citizens for things that they themselves regularly do on and off the job. When it comes to their coworkers they just don't tax them as a courtesy. I mean that's really all it boils down to. If there weren't cameras this would have been a 5 minute scenario with the initial cop letting him drive off and never telling anyone about this.

I think there should be a class action lawsuit against this Police department for anyone who's ever had a DWI in the city

He was charged with the DUI, just not arrested and transported to the station. Police officers can actually do that at their discretion. They can issue an OTA (order to appear), although not a common practice, but in some misdemeanor cases, you can actually do that. That’s why the police officer’s chief told him to do what he has to do. I am not trying to defend anyone here, but what the officers did was totally legal.

Both of those CHIEFS should be in JAIL right now! Professional courtesy is long gone since the cameras came into play.

This is just horrible. I could hardly believe the ending. And the other chief says, "he and I are going to have a long talk on the way home." Now really. This drunk was so drunk, as if he'd remember a thing chief John said to him. Both these chiefs should be fired immediately. How disgraceful.

He slips up one time now everyone is ready to Stone him and hang him. We should actually feel bad for him and Hope that he could overcome alcoholism. 💜🙌🏾 SMH

He's probably never seen any of that.

Blue blanketing an older cop to save face is disturbing. He's has been passed the 30 yr mark in 2007. Every person at this scene should lose their job and benefits. A crime covered up is still a crime.

To end this ordeal both Police Chiefs went home to hear the soothing words of Jim Beam

Disheartening doesn't even begin to describe the breach of trust these scenarios create.

*And it's been going on FOREVER!* Some people don't understand why a lot of people don't automatically consider all cops to be "heroes." And don't believe it's just a "few bad apples." You have on Police Chief breaking the law and endangering the lives of the public. And how many policemen were standing right there enabling the crime and covering it up? How many bad apples is it really?

Breach of trust? This country was founded on breach of trust.... You gentiles, do not realize the judgement coming to this hypocritical country, consider this a warm up!

It disgusts me that the Sergeant that arrives on scene says "this is a tough day and age man, ya know, when they insist on these electronic things and technology" Which is a dog whistle for "we should be able to let him go scot free" This drunk police Chief could kill someone just like any regular citizen. It's shameful. Any of us would get arrested, forced to make bail, and our car would be impounded. Do you think when cops get away with breaking the law with little to no punishment that it reinforces their bad behavior? I do.

false pull overs are theyre main ones.

This is so gross. The fact that they didn't have him get out of his car early on is crazy. Stop complimenting the guy, stop making excuses for him and treat him the way you'd treat anyone else in this situation. He put others at risk. Classic example of a couple of the "good ones" turning a deliberate blind eye to their bad apples. Screw them.

Why ask if it was on camera? Hes not above the law, charge him for DUII

the back up officer sounds drunk too lol

A police chief who, after 40 years, still drives completely drunk on the road, just shows the lack of respect he has for the uniform and the law... the officer who stopped him deserves a B Despite a polite approach, and well done from the beginning, as soon as he receives the information that the conductor is the chief of police, he looks for opportunities and even called the sergeant on duty, as he did not know whether to release him or not...if it was me I would have been caged right away.

Of course he is going to call his sergeant. What else can he do. He isn't going to just bring the chief in to the night processor and throw him in the general population without contacting someone. There may be protocol that he does not know. It's the same with any job. Where he missed was just point out telling the Serg that he is going to arrest him, because he is hammered and that is the law.

So the corrupt officer gets a B in your view?

That sergeant would totally let him go if he could. “That’s the trouble with all this technology these days.” Basically he’s talking about the fact that there’s no way to hide the means by which they have to measure his level of intoxication. In other words they can’t help him get out of it.

Exactly. In one aspect I feel like he's trying to be understanding of the "older days" or whatever and that this was the norm.... but that doesn't make it the slightest bit less illegal. And officers having a problem being recorded and held accountable like this sergeant should be fired on the spot. Like seriously, no questions asked. Why is this man still in a position to carry around a firearm that he is entitled to use against the public when his decision making is obviously questionable at best. It's also extremely concerning that the sergeant has to reassure the arresting officer that him and his unit will still have his back. That is a major problems cops are facing these days when they turn in a "bad cop". They end up on a call and literally nobody will come to cover them, hoping they get killed on the call. Nothing about the US police is "OKAY" or constitutional, but somehow we allow them
