staties have body cams now, right? Body cam footage can be FOIA'd. They can’t look the other way for their friends, etc with body cam footage or they risk becoming the story if the stop information leaks.

When you're so ugly you have to put a bag over your own head to masturbate...?

Probably due to a shortage of dogs in the town. Jack.

"Under the advice of council I respectfully decline" - I thought that was the proper response when asked to walk a straight line or say the alphabet backwards

You've got that backwards. If I were drinking, I'd look like that.

If y'all think @wilson911's insight that she was too stupid to decline the Sidewalk Olympics
is outrageous, wait'll it transpires that she's just smart enough to hire one of the NES-approved
gun lawyers to try and keep the gun-grabbers at bay.

MA State Police do not care about local officers/chiefs/blank
Plus cameras changed everything (for the good)
The arresting officer is not going to risk 300k while napping for anyone (besides other state buddies)

She's probably out there in the high speed lane, left turn signal on and parking brake engaged. She was always concerned about people getting 'hammered".

Whenever a police officer locally has gotten a OUI there have been extenuating circumstances. A woman officer in my town was ultimately charged when she was falling down drunk and belligerent in a neighboring town. She resigned and charges were dropped.
There is some back story here.

She will waive he right to a jury trial and the case will be handed to a Judge who will find her not guilty of the charge....that's how it works,,,,every time.

Well, I could tell college stories but you would have to promise not to repeat them!
My buddy called it "sled dogging" we would all throw in $20 and who ever closed the deal on the largest girl won the cash!
No, that's not how it works at all. Lol you think a judge wants that on their neck? If she's actually important the DA will camp on it for awhile and then the whole thing gets dropped, ala Suzanne Magaziner, but I don't think shes that important.

I'm telling you that's exactly how it works. Watch it. Where the hell did you get the idea that Judges in this state give a rats azz what we think.

If she were yours, look on the bright side. Warmth in the winter and shade in the summer. Jack.
Driving is a requirement for my job. Down here, 1st DUI requires an interlock put in. You can't drive any vehicle that doesn't have one.
You get a DUI in Louisiana, your LEO career is over. Then again, you pretty much have to talk your way into a DUI in my area.
Or buy your way out. Though Louisiana is not nearly as corrupt and NY and NJ. Though it goves them a run for the money.
My BIL had to. He did a custodial transfer of some to me while his case went. Got them all back after the not-guilty. Darn. That Sig 716 was looking darn good.
Nah, drinking is simply part of the culture down here. If you get into an accident, it's pretty much over. But a simple DUI stop? Unless you try to compare wiener sizes with the cop, you'll probably be OK.
well she is on a temporary license, which turns into a pumpkin in 15 days right
So she needs to be in court today and take the CWOF, 45 day loss of license, drunk school, $$$ to the Brain Injury trust and wait it out til she can pay the $500 dollars to get her license reinstated.
She does not have to participate the sidewalk Olympics, but if she refused the breathalyzer.... assuming they offered her one because a whole bunch of DA's are not using them in court right now as there seems to be some issue with calibration and certified users or such.... she is not only not driving for 45 days, but another 180 for refusing the breathalyzer.
If I were her, on the far side of 60, I'd be putting my papers in and retiring, and I'm sure the town fathers will accept it "with regrets"
If she can "drive on the badge" for work, can they still bag her for driving after revocation if she does?

This may very well get swept under the rug for the arrest. But there is nothing like small town politics. There may be some in her town looking for a reason to push her out.
“The Town is taking the matter very seriously and is thoroughly examining the details of the case. Citizens can expect appropriate and swift action following our investigation,” Town Administrator Michael Lorenco told WBZ-TV in an email Monday
'Lyons has been placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately, Mattapoisett Town Administrator Michael Lorenco said in a statement Monday afternoon. Capt. Jason King will oversee the department until further notice.
'The trooper smelled alcohol and noticed that Lyons’ speech was slurred and that her eyes were bloodshot, according to the arrest report. He asked if she had anything to drink. She said no and that she was coming from a golf course, according to the report. The trooper asked her to get out of her car, and she said, “I won’t. I don’t actually feel I have to,” according to the report. She told the trooper that she was dodging other people trying to cut her off.
The trooper asked again that she get out of her car. She said, “and if I don’t?” according to the report. She told him that she was not challenging him but that she is the police chief of Mattapoisett.
When the trooper said he wanted to conduct some sobriety tests, she got out of the car, the report states. He observed her body swaying and smelled alcohol on her breath. He performed an observational test where he examined her eyes, but she said she could not finish the tests, according to the report. He tried to give her a preliminary breath test, but she refused to take it. After he explained the test to her several times, she agreed to take it but allegedly pretended to blow into the breath test device, the report said, only to pretend to blow into it.
The trooper concluded that Lyons was intoxicated and arrested her. She was brought to the state police barracks in Bourne, where he noticed that she had removed her handcuffs before she got out of the cruiser.
Lyons was booked, photographed and fingerprinted, and was read her rights, in which she confirmed that she refused to take the breath test, according to the arrest report.'

Cuffs loose as a "professional courtesy", plus fat, plus probably not very flexible.

I think this is when they normally smash the window and pull you out for norms

NESers should keep in mind that if brooming the case went south
(say, she re-offends with a vehicular homicide),
the citizens group throwing a conniption fit
won't be some powerless organization like GOAL.
Rather, the group raising a stink will be one
that nobody in the Mass Hackorama wants to hear from: MADD.
Which.
Kind.
Of.
"Breathalyzer"?
