A traffic stop in Austin, Travis, Arizona tests a fundamental principle. Nobody's above the law. Hello. What's up, buddy? What's going on, dude? For me? I know where you are. I'm officer Travis with the APD. I pulled you over because one, you didn't move over, and two, you were talking on the cell phone. You You know you got to move over if we're I know. I was just doing this. Okay. I was talking to my dad. So, I was talking to my dad about whether I should go to the hospital or go home first. Okay. Can I get your driver's license? How much have you drank today, bro? Uh earlier. Not nothing today. Okay. Please step out of the car and head this way, too. Oh, I need something. Any weapons in the car? No. It was way earlier, bro. It was earlier. Can I get the registration and insurance, please? Yep. Okay. So, why'd you pull me over again? I was doing too fast right here? Talking on the cell phone. I thought you could talk on your cell phone in California, or I mean Arizona. No. It's not uh 28914. There's a statute 28914. And then you you got to move over. There's cops on the side of the road. You got to move I'm trying to do that, too. Sorry, buddy. Hey, all right. Um just go ahead and step out there. Let me just look at your eyes real quick, dude. All right. Anyway. All right. >> You got no shoes on, do you? No, I left them in the car or something. I don't know, they're in the back. All right, easy with no shoes on, all right? I I don't know. I'm still here. Let's get off the road cuz we're going to get hit. All right, then you stand right there and we'll just drop the last quick, okay? You do? Yeah. I don't know who you are, but I literally live right there. All right, um I'm a little short, bro. Can you just go ahead and sit on that bumper? Yeah, no problem. Yeah. Go ahead and take off your glasses. Any recent head injuries? Any recent head injuries? No. Okay. All right, what I want you to do is look at the top of the pen and you're going to follow it with your eyes, eyes only. Do you understand? Mhm. I believe that. Okay, you can put your glasses back on.

You're going to be placed under arrest for DUI. You're doing this to me, Gerald? Two violations justify the stop. Under Pennsylvania versus Mims, the officer can order the driver out, no questions asked. The HGN test shows impairment. Arizona's strict impaired to the slightest degree means you're breaking the law. The driver's response when arrested, "You're doing this to each other?" That's professional courtesy talking. Here's the problem. Professional courtesy has zero legal basis. It's unequal treatment, plain and simple. You've been driving impaired. Go ahead, bro. Can I do a breath or anything else? I mean like You did You did the stagnance. That's enough. Yeah. I did the HGN. I don't want to have you walking here barefoot. No, but you don't have to, but can you do a breath?

You think you're [ __ ] hard, don't you? >> No. I was trying to give you credit, dude. I respected you. I've always respected you. You pulled me over here when I first moved into [ __ ] town and tried to come apart on me in my car. And I'm like, I had no idea who you were. Well, now you [ __ ] do. It's the same car.

I'm not fighting him. I'm right here. All right, I'm going to deal with you in a minute. Dude, who's kicking my arm? You need to give me this to arrest me. I hope I hope that someone's recording this, dude. I just wanted to walk in here and do my business. I'm going to need your ID. Are you calling my wife or I'm not resisting at all, so You guys know I'm already not resisting. We got to make a call for him. Did you put that over the radio? >> [laughter] >> Oh, [ __ ] Yeah. If he tries to walk out, it's game over. That's resisting arrest under ARS 13-2508, a felony. Graham v. Connor sets the standard. Force must be objectively reasonable. The control holds here. Textbook proportional. Okay, well, we're going to do blood. Huh? We're going to do blood. Okay. Can you loosen my my cuffs a little bit? Not right now. You want to let Justin know? You want to You want to call? Arresting officer, B plus. Lawful stop, proper testing, equal enforcement. Minor tactical issues cost him the A. The subject, B minus. Former cop who knew better expected special treatment, then resisted. Inexcusable. Department gets a B. They back their officer on equal enforcement, but failed on supervisor availability. Bottom line, professional courtesy that becomes preferential treatment that undermines everything law enforcement stands for. Your personal story doesn't create a legal loophole. Sympathetic circumstances aren't get out of jail free cards. Resist arrest and you're turning a misdemeanor into a felony. Fight it in court, not on the street. Body cams don't lie. This guy claimed he wasn't resisting while the video showed exactly the opposite. Badge or no badge, drunk driving kills. Equal enforcement isn't optional, it's the foundation of justice.
