Whistleblower State Troopers Say Innocent Drivers Arrested for DUI Amid Quota Pressure Straight From the Top​

Chief investigative reporter Jeremy Finley of WSMV 4 Nashville puts a blunt claim on the table: former Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers say internal pressure to hit DUI numbers is pushing officers to arrest sober people.

He doesn’t leave it at rumors. He brings taped meeting audio, internal “DUI maps,” and on-camera whistleblowers who say the quiet part out loud.

Ashley Smith, a former THP trooper, opens with the gut punch. “This is corruption,” she tells Finley. “We’re ruining people’s lives. We’re being forced to ruin people’s lives.”

That quote hangs over everything that follows.

I don't know how that works - given that a blood test can be demanded.

Breathalyzers are too subject to what's been in your mouth, e.g. mouthwash. And calibration will be unknown to a subject.

A blood test requires multiple persons and tests to be done. People unconnected with the arresting officer's quota needs.

Given the nooze source, from the center of Fake Nooze Inc....I have my doubts.

I DO know that Washington got hard on drunk driving, early on, and without mercy. But that was before Gates-Soros-funded judges and prosecutors. I've seen multiple body-cams of Washington crazies performing OBVIOUS felonies, including fighting cops, reckless fleeing, false IDs...and then being charged with a "minor misdemeanor" or whatever they call a ticketing offense.

The Left Coast cops have ZERO motivation to do their jobs. Screw up, or even be accused unfairly...JAIL TIME.

Do the job right, and the Woke prosecutors and kourts let the perp go out and repeat it all.
 
I worked almost 3 decades on midnight shift. There were nights where it was far harder finding a sober driver then a drunk one. And I didn't just work ghetto districts either, "tho I preferred them". A drunk white Yuppie is the biggest pain in the ass on Gods Green Earth.

I bet people just wouldn't believe just how many drunk or high drivers are on the road at night and it wasn't just Chicago. I towed a fishing boat on many a weekend night on the Interstates praying to Jesus to not let one of these swerving drunk MF'ers run me and my expensive salmon boat off the road. And the funny thing ? 99% of drunks dont even believe they have a drinking problem and dont believe they were driving while drunk "even tho they were blubbering and stumbling at 3X the legal limit.

I stopped guys who were driving with so much booze in them they scientifically should have been dead yet they remained fairly functional, considering. And I hated DUI's but when you have accidents at 0300 hrs with so many body parts on the ground that even Dr. Frankenstein couldn't put back together your kind of stuck. Luckily we had DUI specialists who would mostly handle them for you. Mostly. I had one sedan with 7 people in it, 3 in front, hit a concrete El train pillar at what must have been 110 mph while they were passing the crack pipe. The driver was a .32 BAC and all 7 were DOA and I mean "bad". A couple launched out the front window and went airborne for 100+ feet. Even the firemen who are used to such chaos were barfing at the people chunks left from that one. We had to use a shovel for some of the remains but a pitch fork would have been handier.

That was an easy one. Its the live ones that are a pain. I didn't have to miss my breakfast with the 7 DOA one. Eggs and Bacey.

But one thing about working the high crime rate city is there was no pressure to write DUI's.
