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?
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.
No matter how much we expect/hope/demand cops to be superhuman, they will never be.

This is the incident that modern_medicine is referring to.
If it’s the one-handed woman texting-while-driving viral video, I’m aware of it
