A cop in Michigan sees a drunk driver at 2am and pulls him over. Then he realizes it’s his coworker – an off duty police officer at the same department. It’s his buddy, who just basically smiles at him and they both know he’s in trouble. Gee, that really sucks, right? But not to worry…. Everything will be okay because they’re the cops. And they can just turn their bodycams off, collect no evidence, and drive him home. Then the public will never find out, right?

This is a town I would NOT want to live in. CORRUPTION!
Three beers is WILD to claim in that state of intoxication. Homie took a right hand turn like he had two trailers hooked up.
What is the point of law enforcement?
Go blue line club !!
He ended up getting a promotion
Unfortunately it probably falls in officer discretion.
Isn't tampering with evidence a felony.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Cops = Dirty cops = Criminals.
…and they wonder why they're so hated
If i was police this would be my minute to shine id be so dramatic 😂
That was nice weekend off what a deterant
MFrz ! ANY bodycam tampering whatsoever(video OR audio) while on duty NEEDS to be an instant felony everywhere & always, NO exceptions. Only in Murica.
If I got an OUI from any cop in the police department I’d get a jury trial and show this video in court and say how can anyone from this department be trusted and hopefully be found not guilty.
This is sick
If the US like almost every other developed country invested in comprehensive, public transit, then these problems would be greatly reduced. I don't care if a law enforcement officer drinks off duty and then travels home via public transit. Walking would be involved, but better than losing your livelihood and going to jail.
The hypocrisy has become intolerable. I saw no good cop in that video.
They should get 5 years for destruction of evidence muting or turning of cams but evil protects evil
Both should be in jail.
Rules thee not for me
AHH Ludington, My son has been ticketed there for 37 in a 35 and 47 in a 45. Known for hitting everyone with BS tickets to fill their coffers. The big park and beach lures in the tourists and LPD is waiting… You've been WARNED
I care, John! Keep exposing these hypocrites. And if you catch any one of them arresting a sober driver for "OWI", expose that too, and I'll do everything in my power (admittedly not much) to make it go viral.
Hope this goes viral & this department is forced into the spotlight, investigated, & restructured
. 40 u forgot they can go to a place police talk to talk 😂🎉funny anit i 😂
Just piss drunk.
This happens more often than not.
Back in the day, as late as early 70's, cops would drive drunk drivers home. Just as though the public was also part of the team.
