Comments section suggests that non-LEOs trying this would have had a different outcome. It's entertaining, in a strange way.

lets sleep it off,,,,
and yep, he thought he was going to get off since he had a badge,

I'm okay with cops cutting each other slack on the small stuff, but this guy was hammered and there were civilian 911 calls on tape. No way could they let him sleep it off on the roadside. Plus the body camera video. The Lt. actually seems like he's an overall decent guy too.Last edited by togor; 05-29-2019, 04:25.Comment

NOt the first or last to let alcohol lead to the end of their job. Hopefully he gets help for his issues no matter his what his career choice.Comment

I think it'd be illegal for non-LEOs. Something about invading privacy. Same as recording a phone call without the other side knowing. Remember Rule Number 3. Thou Shalt CYA!Spelling and grammar count!Comment

Most States allow recording telephone conversation as long as one of the parties are aware. It is illegal to record a conversation between two (2) parties without either knowing unless you have proper legal authority.

What is even more amazing is that the citizens of that county accepted such an idiot as sheriff.
it wouldn't have gone on anywhere near that long in my neck of the woods. I think any non-LEO would have ended up in the ER after that much resistance...He who beats his sword into a plowshare, will soon be plowing for somebody else!Comment

BTW.... if you are in a parking lot (say out side of a bar or legion club) and are trying to "sleep it off" inside your vehicle and even IF your KEY"S are NOT in the ignition, you could still get busted for DUI in MN.
I don't know about other states, but I've read about it.
best thing to do if you are drunk is call someone for a ride.Comment
