David Boston DUI police video

[DEEZNUTS 18]

REDICULOUS!!!

That was an ABSOLUTE abuse of power and this cop was a JACKASS. Boston complied with every request - no matter how DUMB it was, and although he was frustrated, he cooperated with this officer. This cop just wanted to humiliate the guy. This is a f'ing travesty. Meanwhile, about 10 real drunks were driving right past this whole charade. Boston walked the straight line (has anyone ever tried that SOBER?), said the alphabet without singing it (I can barely do that either - and I have an MBA), and stood on one leg for 30 plus seconds (while doing the airplane move). Seriously, this is why police officers get a bad name and why it appears that athletes are sometimes targeted. This was a joke, and this cop should be assigned to desk duty. If Boston has a half way decent attorney, this will be dismissed based on that video alone.

 

I hate seeing wasted time in courtrooms because over zealous police officers with agendas.

 

A f'ing JOKE!

Your right, they should of let Boston go cause he was a NFL player. Maybe he would have went down the road smashed his car into a family heading out to eat or something.

 

Your a complete joke. The cop never rasied his voice. Boston couldn't even keep his hands to his side. I was waiting for the officers to take Boston down and they would have all right too. He was failing to comply on what they were saying.

 

I love peopes hate for the cops, it makes me feel better when we take their scumbag ass to jail and watch their lives go nowhere.

Did he have a rushing carry in tonights game?? I thought he was to banged up to walk a yellow line?

Dude, people don't hate cops; they hate A Holes. It's just that there's a high correlation between the two.

 

I fully realize that in 2007 we are not supposed to make any rational generalizations at all... but some of us weaker minded people can't help it. For example: My wife is asian. My daughter is half-asian. It pisses me off when I hear generalizations about asian people because my daughter is an individual... HOWEVER, MY WIFE IS AN INCREDIBLY POOR DRIVER. She's freakin' awful. Is it because she's asian? I don't know. But there's one hell of a correlation between asian people & lousy drivers Now I'm sure there is an asian Mario Andretti out there somewhere that can drive circles around me... and I"m sure their are some police officers with hearts of gold. But, man, it seems both are the exception and not the rule.

That's right - Boston vamped on that balky knee, then both knees at least 3 times. "well isn't there another test? My balance is messed up because of my knee."

 

(paraphrasing)

cop "which knee?"

 

Boston - "Both knees...I've had surgery on both knees so my balance is messed up"

 

cop - "but you said you just came from practice."

 

Boston

 

Boston, "but my balance is messed up because of my knee"

 

(( thought while reading - 'Boston's inner ear is in his knee?' ))

 

cop - "well maybe you could just try it - you said one knee was bad, the other not bad. You can lift the knee that's bad, and put the weight on the knee that's not bad."

 

Boston, "I,,,uh,,,,I can't,,,,,I,,,,I uh,,,,,,I'm gonna call my lawyer!"

Hello...I am an overzealous police officer...Mr. Boston...Sir...Could you please wake up? I am asking because I have an agenda and, if you won't comply with this, I will have to begin my overzealousity by asking you to do some ricockulous things like walking a straight line and saying the alphabet. Please comply quickly so that I can go arrest the ten "real" drunks who, while not sleeping at their wheel, are a danger nonetheless...Signed...Fing Jhoke

 

P.S....you are a complete douche.

was that Jeff Garcia playing the role of officer? Sounded like him lol

 

That cop was fine, anyone who thinks he was out of line just hates cops in general.

[Gepetto 1,001]

I'm only half-way through watching this and I want to tell that cop to go fock himself. What a c0cksucker. Also, how the fock does this video make it to the internet? That's ridiculous.

[Killer Elite 0]

Note to David Boston:

 

Next time refuse the FST. Get arrested, and then call your attorney. Damn noobs!

 

As a side note.. By about 9 minutes into the video I just wanted to punch the police officer in the face. Not that I would of course but it almost felt like he was trying to get Boston to perform for the camera to have something to show off. Sure he was doing his job, but if he was going to arrest him, he knew about 5 minutes in he was going to arrest him, the rest was just show for the camera. IMO

Uncool; its going to take, like, an hour for me to clean all the coffee off my laptop.

 

I'm sending you the dry-cleaning bill!

[andybob15 0]

If his knees are so bad he can't keep his balance then my 2 year old daughter should have no trouble tackling him. How does he not fall over while running a short out?

 

The same people here who say the cop is a douche and should have just arrested him right away are the same ones who would be screaming that the cop was a douche and had no probable cause if the cop pulled him from the car and arrested him. Boston should have just told him to get bent, I'm not doing it, and had his lawyer deal with it. WHether its booze or pills it is still DUI (Driving under the influence).

thanks henry.....i enjoyed it .....

[p00h 85]

So those of you who believe there is nothing wrong with this incident, I have a question for you. I agree the cop was very cordial, as opposed to being an ######. But how long can he continue asking a citizen to do tests. There has to be a cutoff point. If you keep giving those tests to a dead sober individual over the duration of hours, I can guarantee you that said individual will fail atleast 1 of those tests. I am going to show the vid to some of my cop buddies to get an opinion on that matter. Whether Boston is under the influence of something or not is besides the point here. Give your tests, and either arrest the man or let him go. You can't keep giving test after test after test, that's bullcrap...

When the citizen continues to not listen to instructions and was just found passed out with his car running at an intersection? The video was 14 minutes long...its not as if he was out there for hours.

And its not just about completely failing one...its about not listening to instructions...not following directions...missing little things here or there that cops are actually trained to look for.

Why is it that people who have a complete ignorance of the law, people's rights and the extent of a thorough field sobriety check are the same ones who post on here about how much cops suck, are a-holes etc etc etc.

 

Try educating yourself first, them coming on here to post - you'll save yourself a lot of embarassment and typing. You clearly haven't a clue about any of this, so better to go outside and go for a walk instead of making a complete ass out of yourself. Obviously you don't like cops - we get it. But you're so far out in left field with your statements damning the cop's actions that it's laughable.

 

The cop did his job, and was extremely polite. There was no "power trip" and his allowing the test to go on that long was in the citizen's best interest. Rather than trying to stretch it out to catch him in anything, when Boston kept FAILING the tests, the cop gave him EVERY opportunity to avoid a DUI charge.

 

One day you will get a clue and realize that the field sobriety check is to your benefit.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Not only that...he was not the first cop on the scene...but a freakin specialist called in for the FST.

 

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2007/aug/24/bu.../?news-breaking

 

Boston, 29, who lives in Cooper City, was found passed out at the wheel of a dark red Range Rover at 49th Street and Park Boulevard, Pinellas Park police said. The vehicle was in a travel lane, and the engine was running.

 

"We're assuming he stopped at the red light and passed out," police Capt. Sanfield Forseth said. "He didn't know where he was."

 

"He seemed disoriented and confused," the arresting officer, identified as J. McNeil, said in the arrest affidavit. "He had mood swings and seemed evasive."

 

A drunkenness-recognition expert was called to the scene and conducted a field sobriety test, then escorted Boston to jail. A so-called DRE exam goes beyond the field sobriety test and includes a check of a driver's muscle tone and pupils, Forseth said.

 

At the scene, his eyes were bouncing back and forth and jerking, Forseth said. When officers told him he was in Pinellas Park, he responded, "Where is Pinellas Park?" Forseth said. "He believed he was somewhere in Hillsborough County."

...The cop noted during the test the finer points that they look for - while he walked the line, the cop said into his mic, "he's using his hands to balance" - that's a dead givaway.

I have a genuine question about this. I think most all people use their hands to balance when walking heel to toe on a narrow beam or line, especially if their foot is wider than the beam or line.

 

As a police officer here in Texas, I thought maybe a few things that were posted should be cleared up. In Texas, and I cant speak for Florida, you typically fill out a "score sheet" on a subjects performance on a field sobriety test. For instance on the "Walk And Turn" (9 steps on the line), there are several indicators that we look for.

 

1. not walking heel-to-toe

2. not counting out loud

3. using arms to maintain balance ..

 

I have genuine concern that this is used as an indicator... using arms or hands, to balance --- this is a reflex much like when a cat is falling it will react in such manner to land on its feet. Walking a beam or curb or line that is narrow, watch any kid do this. The hands go up. Even at policeman /fireman competitions or in any athletics event, where the atmosphere is friendly, and contestants are required to walk a certain distance on a beam or line or board that is smaller than the width of the foot. The participant gets on the narrow walk, and the hands go up. The arms naturally lift and gyrate.

 

I think it is mischievous to use that as a known give away or a "dead give away." I am genuine in this assessment. I seems like a trick of language. Everyone uses their hands and arms when trying to balance. It is a natural human reflex. Kids and sober people alike.

 

Also, I noticed the officer said start. And then he was rushing in closely, as to be a slight menace for that exercise. Pressing closely and speaking hurriedly into his mic, as if he was trying to cause Boston to fall off the line. Overall, I question this measure exclusively and the manner in which the officer conducted this aspect of the test. Officer spent a lot of time explaining it, and telling Boston not to start until he instructed him to start. Then he chased Boston and acted to intimidate psychologically, when he said start. It is a subtle chasing, not like a car chase at high speeds. But followed him with a rush of hurried steps and accelerated talking and whispering. Crowded in closer as if he was trying to will him off the line.

 

The fact that the officer entered the area, instead of staying put, at the start, shows a potential error in giving this aspect of the test. When he entered the area at the side of the line, as opposed to staying at one of the ends, it shows the officers willingness to create a visual imbalance on one side of the participant.

 

The officer is suppose to stay back on one end of the line or the other. The officer is not suppose to rush the subject or accelerate their speaking while the subject is attempting to execute that component of the test. The officer is not suppose to alternate between talking and whispering while subject is taking the test. There are only a handful of things the officer can do wrongly in giving this particular part of the test. It seems like he was trying to mess up Boston and pressure his failure at this point.

 

When considering the natural reflex of all humans to use their hands or arms when balancing ... I believe is questionable logic and potentially misleading in methodology to say the officer did a good job here in this component.

 

Having said all that, I do think officers have a tough job, trying to keep drunk drivers off the road. It is important work and they do have to error on the side of other people's safety; not the driver in question.

 

I have this main question: On whose authority is not using hands or arms for balance a sign of sure sobriety? It is my personal experience, that any sober person has trouble doing 9 steps in a row, without using their hands or arms at some point. I just tried it, sober as the day. I started off confident the first try, but around 7th or 8th step, started to teeter... up when the hands. Second went better, but I wondered if my arms and hands were relaxed enough. Third attempt started out with a teeter ... up went the hands.

 

It is a natural reflex.

 

Give the same test to 12 kids under the age of 9 and you will see, by the "dead-giveaway" logic quoted above, that we have a lot of kids under the influence in our country. Good thing the kids are not old enough to drive.

 

If they use their hands or arms for balance, we can safely presume the kids would have to be under the influence of something. Let me be the last to say, they probably are. Probably under the influence of a natural human reflex. Do the same test with a camera on, and then chase in behind with hurried steps or rush of language and some covered whispers as if talking to someone not in the area, and I bet more kids will use their hands or arms reflexively, to help keep their balance.

If your fantasy football draft was anything like mine, I'd venture to say that a large percentage of fftoday.com members will be over their state legal limit...and completely impaired...on their drive home from their drafts. This includes the members who support AND comdemn David Boston.

[bonkbonk 5]

Just to add a little:

 

If he knew he was hammered and knew he was ######. He could have just refused the FST. He could have just said take me in. That can get you a one year suspended licence. And once in jail you get your lawyer. Be smarter and dont sit there on video. Stall a bit, but dont do any of the tests. Even refuse the breatherlizer. Demand a blood test. By the time you get to the hospital and the wait, you have just bought time. Do this only if you, for sure, cant pass a FST.

 

 

Also i love the part where the cop asumes Boston had a 4 year degree. Then rambles on for a few minutes. That is such a set up question.

 

"Your smart right? Then you should be able to do the alphabet slow, with out singing or ryming, on 1 foot, with your head back, eyes closed with my huge power trip up your ass and o by the way dont start till i say start. Are you ready to start? What are you doing? I asked if you were ready to start, i didnt tell you to start."

[josh wiley 27]

damn hard to follow up log4n but seems reasonable that he get arrested if in fact he was asleep at the wheel at an intersection as someone stated earlier. The officer may have been trying to allow him to display his sobriety, but he should have stopped the test as soon as it was failed. log4n was right about the whole using your arms for balance if you are trying to maintain a straight line and that would not constitute a failure. probably should have been arrested if he was at an intersection, but seemed like the officer was using boston as amusement after the first few minutes.

[andybob15 0]

I agree with the arm thing. The other thing I have never understood was saying the alphabet backwards or not singing it. I am serious when I say I could not say the alphabet backwards on my best day to save my life. Is there some sort of margin of error? If I had one beer and get pulled over chances are real good that I will be pretty nervous too.

I have a genuine question about this. I think most all people use their hands to balance when walking heel to toe on a narrow beam or line, especially if their foot is wider than the beam or line.

 

Boston was not on a beam. He was on flat ground. That's part of the point of the test - you should be able to walk heel-toe without any arms to balance you, privided you are over the age of 2 and walking. Seriously - go out and try it. Walk to your nearest grocery store, pick out a line on the asphalt and take 9 steps heal to toe. It's easy, really.

 

I have genuine concern that this is used as an indicator... using arms or hands, to balance --- this is a reflex much like when a cat is falling it will react in such manner to land on its feet. Walking a beam or curb or line that is narrow, watch any kid do this. The hands go up. Even at policeman /fireman competitions or in any athletics event, where the atmosphere is friendly, and contestants are required to walk a certain distance on a beam or line or board that is smaller than the width of the foot. The participant gets on the narrow walk, and the hands go up. The arms naturally lift and gyrate.

 

You are missing the point. It's not just about the walking the straight line, so your genuine concern (is there any other kind? ) is unwarranted. The test is about balance, perception and following instruction. Boston did not listen, did not follow instruction, was re-instructed, said he understood and STILL did not follow the instructions. He also used his hands to balance while walking a perfectly straight line heel-to-toe on flat ground. He was wobbling side to side and using his arms on flat ground. How can you lose your balance if you aren't balancing. That's the point.

 

I think it is mischievous to use that as a known give away or a "dead give away." I am genuine in this assessment. I seems like a trick of language. Everyone uses their hands and arms when trying to balance. It is a natural human reflex. Kids and sober people alike.

 

While I again appreciate your being genuine, because it would suck if you were deceiving us all somehow, I find a field sobriety test to be far less intrusive than a urine or blood test. It provides me with a basic set of criteria to follow and if I do I am let go with no questions asked. Should they test your blood within an hour of having 1 drink you could potentially blow a .08+ and get a DUI, even if stone cold sober.

 

There's an old addage about the "letter of the law" and the "spirit of the law". In the case of the field sobriety check, that's the spirit of the law. They don't want to bust you for DUI if you are capable of operating your vehicle - they want the real drunk losers. So if you can pass a simple test of coordination and follow instructions, you get to go home. If not, then you get the breathalizer.

 

Seems more than fair to me - seems like it benefits you the citizen emensely. So I'm baffled as to how many here hate this cop, think he was a jackass and protest the field sobriety test. It's mind boggling - the test is a benefit to you. Think about it.

 

Also, I noticed the officer said start. And then he was rushing in closely, as to be a slight menace for that exercise.

Crowded in closer as if he was trying to will him off the line.

What, do you write romance novels? I watched that 3 times and saw none of the intrigue he was apparently involved with. Was there a shooter behind the grassy gnoll?

I am not going to entertain this paranoia. How you divined any of this is just plain weird.

 

 

That test aside, Boston was at a stop light, sound asleep. The officers could have not adminstered a field sobriety test for that, and simply arrested him. But because of his celebrity (presumably) they called in a specialist. The specialist is an expert in DUI and deemed Boston as on something. Turned out he was on something Cops played it by the book and you all want to take down the cops for it.

[Guest _my_2_cents_]

Got to laugh at the above bolded line. If you think a cop always has a "citizens" best interest in mind you're kidding yourself.

Perhaps you ought to invest the time in READING the quote you so bolded before laughing at it. You know, since I didn't say they "always" had a citizen's best interest in mind, but rather specifically indicated that in the context of Boston's field sobriety test he appeared to let it go on a bit longer than were it a non-celebrity. My point was that they seemed to be giving him an awful lot of benefit of the doubt.

 

Comprehension is apparently not your strong suit, which is a shame given your penchant for criticism.

 

Are you a fantasy football guy posing as a facist or vice versa?

 

Now you call me a facist because I am glad to have Field Sobriety Tests? Actually I'm more of a republican who leans toward centrist views yet I'm pro choice and pro gun & death penalty while being an avid hiker, environmentalist and off-road enthusiast. Go ahead jackhole - slap another label on me. You'll be no more correct but apparently you enjoy it, so knock yourself out.

 

As a guy who is against an intrusive government, I prefer NOT to have to blow into a tube and establish proof of my sobriety - if anything I'd think you'd hate the breathalizer, because as everyone knows, a breathalizer doesn't say you're drunk - it says you're legally drunk. So let me ask you - if you spent 3 hours at dinner and with a full meal had 2 beers and a port, and got pulled over in a DUI checkpoint, would you prefer the breathalizer to the field sobriety check?

 

Here's a tip - you can pass a field sobriety test if you're legally drunk but capable of driving - at that point the officer can use his disgression and either give you the breathalizer or let you drive hime.

 

However by comparison, you cannot pass a breathalizer if you're legally drunk but physically fine and capable of driving.

 

Which of these scenarios is better? Here's a hint: the one that doesn't end with you in jail.

 

This ain't rocket science - the field sobriety test is you friend. All Boston had to do was not be a completely focked up individual, and he'd have slept in his own bed that evening.

[Killer Elite 0]

blah, blah, blah, blah...

 

2 simple facts!

 

1) Boston was deemed under the influence by the original arresting officer which is why the "specialist" was brought in.

2) The Specialist obviously was motivated by the camera performance as he constantly referred to it and thus was putting on a show.

 

Solution:

 

1) Arrest Boston

2) Punch the "specialist" in the face

[Guest _my_2_cents_]

blah, blah, blah, blah...

 

2 simple facts!

 

1) Boston was deemed under the influence by the original arresting officer which is why the "specialist" was brought in.

2) The Specialist obviously was motivated by the camera performance as he constantly referred to it and thus was putting on a show.

 

Solution:

 

1) Arrest Boston

2) Punch the "specialist" in the face

 

 

See, I interpreted that differently. When Cops are on camera, they're often on their best behavior and wanting to make absolutely certain it's by the book.

People still want to defend Boston and whine about the Cop?

 

Has the cop been suspended? I mean, it was all on tape, and according to too many legal experts here he was way out of line.

 

Its not often _my_2_cents and I agree...but when we do, people might want to watch out, because we are probably right.

He wouldnt let him call a lawyer before he started some of the tests, thought you had the right. Anyways I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to tell him he was being PUNKED.

The bottom line is that boston was on GHB and driving. Can't you afford a focking cab you dumbfock?

They say that GHB has some body building effects - I didn't know that...

 

I thought David Boston just wanted to get date-raped.

 

Maybe the cop put it in his drink?

 

 

Yeah.. I think the cop saw Boston @ Smoothie King. Slipped it into his drink.. Then pulled him over.

 

But, Boston was still coherent, so that pretty much messed up the plan.

 

He then called for backup/specialist to cover his ass.

 

 

That's a good defense - right?
