REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures a DUI suspect making repeated constitutional claims and demanding her phone while officers attempt to conduct standardized processing. This bodycam video documents the complex legal arguments and personal attacks that often complicate routine DUI investigations. In this police bodycam footage, 46-year-old Shawn Mullarkey appears to be in the middle of an argument about the credibility of testimony, making a disjointed reference to someone else: "That's a good question, was golfing all day drinking very end. I have to run it through Lisa. Oh but you think he provides gospel." She continues with fragmented comments: "Okay. Did anybody touch his breathalyzer. He was golfing and drinking all day but you think he provides gospel right good I have a point." The interaction becomes increasingly confrontational as Mullarkey dismisses the entire process: "This is a fucking joke show." When an officer attempts to establish procedural boundaries—"I told you I will allow you when it's time"—she contradicts him: "No it's not." She then makes a significant legal claim: "You're not being deprived of any constitutional right," to which she immediately objects: "Oh but I am." When the officer disagrees, she claims superior legal knowledge: "No you're not. I know them a lot better than you." Mullarkey then pivots to a presumption of innocence argument: "Oh but look. Look at me. I'm not convicted of anything but you're treating me like I am. I've not been convicted of anything." The officer acknowledges the documentation of the process: "Everything's being recorded so I'm not doing anything super secretive." Mullarkey repeats her point: "I've not been convicted of anything." She then makes a seemingly unrelated personal disclosure: "Okay I have a drunk ex-husband," before attempting to make phone calls despite being in custody. As officers coordinate with colleagues, she continues objecting: "This is against the law," and "This is very tight," before requesting: "Can I please have my phone to call my attorney." According to court records, this 2022 incident in Hinsdale, Illinois ultimately led to Mullarkey pleading guilty to aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, aggravated assault to a peace officer, and resisting or obstructing a police officer. Her plea agreement required participation in the DuPage County Mental Illness Court Alternative Program. This police bodycam footage highlights the complex legal arguments, constitutional claims, and personal demands that officers must navigate during DUI processing, frequently requiring them to balance procedural requirements with managing the expectations of individuals who misunderstand their rights during chemical testing.
