REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures officers attempting to transport an uncooperative DUI suspect who claims she cannot walk with restraints despite evidence to the contrary. This bodycam video documents the exhausting cycle of reasonable accommodation offers met with continued resistance that ultimately forces officers to physically carry the subject. In this police bodycam footage, officers attempt to determine if 46-year-old Shawn Mullarkey will walk voluntarily if certain restraints are adjusted: "Will you if I take those off? I mean you really want me to walk?" This reasonable accommodation, captured on the bodycam, shows officers seeking voluntary compliance to avoid unnecessary physical handling. Mullarkey responds with a challenging question rather than a direct answer: "Will you or should we carry you? Mean do you think I can walk with my feet tied together?" An officer attempts clarification: "Do you think you can walk if we..." but is interrupted by Mullarkey repeating her complaint: "Do you think I can walk with my feet tied together?" The officer offers a professional assessment: "Yes. Yeah I think you can," to which Mullarkey flatly contradicts: "No I can't." The officer then explains how her own actions contributed to her current restraint position: "Well if you didn't move your hands down below your waistline, they would be at your lower back. And I believe you could walk. Yes I do." Rather than addressing the practical issue of walking, Mullarkey pivots back to earlier complaints: "Yeah well if you hadn't snatched me up out of the car in front of my kids. Why would I trust you now? Why would I trust him?" This deflection to past grievances, documented on bodycam, demonstrates her pattern of avoiding current cooperation by referencing previous interactions. After this continued resistance, an officer concludes that voluntary compliance isn't forthcoming: "All right we're going to have to carry her again," with confirmation from a colleague: "Okay." This decision, recorded on police bodycam, shows how Mullarkey's refusal to walk despite the capability to do so necessitates additional officer resources and physical handling that could have been avoided. 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 how subjects often create unnecessary difficulties in routine transportation procedures through passive resistance, requiring officers to expend additional resources and physical effort despite offering reasonable accommodations.
