Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening?

I didn’t think flock was involved in that. The point though was the officer just plain lied, and when faced with evidence, he doubled down.
And yes. Officer need to have individual malpractice insurance in my opinion.

Not necessarily a lie, but (allegedly) mistaken would produce the same result.

Not everyone who is wrong is lying.

  Nah. Cops writing tickets don’t that leeway. If they aren’t 100% certain of an infraction like this, they shouldn’t be stopping the driver. His doubling down after being shown proof establishes that he is willing to lie.

    People can be “100% certain” of things that never happened; it happens all the time.

    Yes, but in court, cops are given the assumption of higher accuracy. So they logically should be held to a higher standard.
